"All right then everyone, I would like to properly introduce you to whom you will be working with!" Hayate shouted rather cheerfully to a large group of officers, mages, and technicians as they all straightened up to pay attention to the Commanding Officer.
"First, there's your wonderful and beautiful Commanding Officer me, Hayate Yagami!" She said pointing to herself while trying to make herself look as innocent as possible as some of the members were already starting to sweatdrop a bit.
"Then, there's your Chief of Staff and my Union Device, Reinforce!" She cheerfully introduced the still neutral looking Union Device in question, only this time in a TSAB uniform as Reinforce bowed a bit before she stepped back.
"Next is your Executive Officer, and also my Second in Command Griffith Lowran!" She said cheerfully as Griffith stepped up and smiled at the group and nodded before stepping back along with the rest of the chain of command.
"Our next Officer is you Chief Medical Officer, the lovely and wonderful Shamal!" Hayate said as Shamal stepped up with her uniform and her doctor's coat on her persona and she smiled kindly at the group below them and her smile entranced then a bit.
"Next is our Communication Staff, or as I like to call them our Bridge Bunnies. Shario Finieno, Alto Krauetta, and Lucino Liilie!" She said as the three-women group appeared and bowed before them as they nodded to the group they were working with and stepped back.
"Next are your lovely Forward Captains Nanoha Takamichi and Fate T. Soma!" She said as Nanoha did a peace symbol with her hands and grinned widely and Fate just nodded back to them in affirmation before they stepped back.
"And of course, we can't forget their Sub Commanders Signum and Vita!" She said pointing to the two as they both just nodded while Vita just barely gave them a passing glance, not caring much about what the newbies think of her.
"And last but certainly not the least, we have Commander Yu Soma, who will be our middle man for getting past the rather annoying bureaucracies and our Contact from the Grand Marshal himself giving us more freedom to move around!" Hayate finished as Yu came up and nodded his head in response to what Hayate said about him.
"All right then everyone. As you may know that the primary purpose of Riot Force 6 is to reclaim and seal away Lost Logia so they may not run loose or be used by people who have malicious intent." Hayate explained as everyone listened now. "But we also have another purpose as well." She said more seriously this time as everyone was taken aback by her seriousness now.
"We are also to act as a Rapid Response Deployment Force to any threat that any of the planets may face and it may be our more common duty in fact." Hayate finished as some of the people started to look confused save for Yu, who was already of the updated Priority Rankings as ordered by the Grand Marshal himself.
"Everyone please listen!" Hayate ordered the people before her who were muttering to themselves about what was going on. "We are here to mainly prevent Lost Logia from going out of control but by the same merit we are here to protect the civilians of all TSAB allied planets. As no doubt that Shocker has been reported to be interested in Lost Logia and we have to stop them." Hayate then took a pause. "I'm sure that we all desire to avoid a repeat on Paradiso."
At that everyone went silent, it was the worst attack that Shocker has ever committed on any single planet. There was nothing of worth besides the fact that it was a planet basically dedicated to just being a vacation for everyone. But Shocker launched an assault there and it was by far one of the worst attacks to have happened in centuries as the TSAB were fully caught off guard with their pants down when they heard what happened. It was a disaster, the entire planet was in flames, more than at least ten million lives were killed, and it became a graveyard after that incident. No more did people went there for fun and joy, they went there to pay their respects or grieve for the ones that were lost during the attack. It was when that all of Shocker finally earned something that was thought to have been impossible for centuries. They placed a Kill on Sight Wanted List on Shocker and warning to only take prisoners when it was optional. The TSAB had finally had enough of Shocker's terror and they started treating them like a ruthless rogue nation that needs to be destroyed forever.
In other words, the TSAB had all but declared war on Shocker and they were sending out requests to any Riders from Earth to assist them in stopping Shocker in its tracks. A good chunk of the Riders accepted the request and started to head towards space to help deal with Shocker. Everyone from the Showa Generation of Riders had appeared to assist them in dealing with Shocker considering the majority of them had personal issues to deal with them.
Then just as the crew remembered Paradiso, Hayate pulled their attention back again. "As I said our primary purpose is to collect Lost Logia but for the most part we will be deploying as a Rapid Response Unit towards Shocker." Hayate announced firmly. "Until further notice you are all dismissed save for those that have receive assignments already, please make your way to Briefing Room D." She ordered as everyone started to scatter about and were getting ready.
Save for four young kids who had received their assignment and immediately started heading towards the Briefing Room mentioned in their assignments. Teana and Subaru were discussing the possibilities of what the Commanding Officer wanted to speak to them about. Whereas Erio and Caro were discussing the possibility of what they might do once assigned to their Forward Units.
Soon they entered Briefing Room D and already Commanding Officer Hayate was there Forward Captains Nanoha and Fate, and Sub Commanders Signum and Vita, and finally Commander Yu all waiting for them there.
Then Hayate spoke up. "Hello Cadets, today we are here to discuss the teams that you will be assigned to work with." She said as the cadets all started to pay attention now as she went through her report now. "Teana and Subaru will be assigned to Forward Stars Squad under command of Nanoha." She first said as the two girls looked at Nanoha and she nodded as they nodded back. "Cadets Erio and Caro will be assigned to Forward Lightning Squad under command of Fate." She said as both kids looked at her and bowed a bit as Fate nodded to them.
Then Hayate pointed to the screen where the reports have come streaming in now. "Now you're here for our first mission." As everyone started to pay attention now. "Our intelligence has reported that a Lost Logia is being smuggled onto Mid-Childa." As she pulled out several images of the Relic in question being delivered by what appears to be men and women in white. "These people you see before you are from the Foundation X, an underground research organization that has backed many illegal researches on Earth like the Gaia Memory Incident and the Cosmic Switch Research as well." Hayate said before pulling up images of the group in question.
Then the screen showed multiple men and women pressing a button on a USB Device of sorts before injecting it into their necks before shifting into monsters and started rampaging.
To the researchers holding up a seemingly innocent coin before putting before a man's head before a slot appeared and injecting it before a monster came out of the man moaning heavily.
To a woman holding up some kind of switch before pressing the red button and then surrounded by dark energy before dispersing revealing a monster.
To a man wearing leather clothing and had a blue tint in his hair and being gunned down and struck in fatal spots before cells mutated a bit and the man smirking and then killing said attackers in question before laughing insanely.
Then the screen ended with two Foundation X members shifting into monsters before roaring loudly.
As soon as Hayate finished her preview she noticed that the four of the cadets were sweating in anxiety but all of them were determined judging from the fires from their eyes. They made her happy on the inside for they were prepared to do what needs to be done.
"Foundation X has been expanding into the wider know galaxy funding many of Shocker's endeavors before focusing mainly on the selling of weapons to various nations and escalating conflicts. For that very reason alone they are known best as the Merchants of Death." She said gravely.
"They have also been turning their attention on Lost Logia due to their destructive capabilities and a Terrorist Organization we have infiltrated reported finding a Lost Logia and they intend to sell it to Foundation X for both funding and weapons of war." She finished.
Then a set of reports came in. "Our mission is to retrieve the Lost Logia before it falls into Foundation X's hands and capture any of the high-ranking members of the Foundation X that might be attending the meeting and defeat the enemy." Hayate said with conviction. "Is your first mission clear?" Hayate asked the group.
"Clear Ma'am!" Everyone reported to Hayate making her smile a bit.
"Good! Our first mission takes place in about three days, so prepare by then and you are dismissed." Hayate ordered as the group dispersed before her as Nanoha and Fate followed her as they exited the briefing room.
"So, are you anxious about our first mission as Riot Force 6?" Nanoha asked Hayate after walking for a bit as Hayate just looked thoughtful before shaking her head in disagreement surprising her. "Why are you not nervous about our first mission?" She asked. "This mission is rather important and if don't do good here then the critics who opposed Riot Force 6 will have more leverage to disband us." She said.
"I know that." Hayate replied simply but still confusing Nanoha. "But I don't need to worry about suffering any criticism for that at all." She said calmly shocking her as Hayate turned to her and Fate with a big smile on her face. "It's because I have such reliable friends such as you, Fate, and Yu to help me through this that I don't need to worry about the mission possibly failing." She said.
Both her and Fate were left speechless at what Hayate just said. "You're saying that you have that much faith in us to not fail the mission?" Fate all but croaked out at her as Hayate nodded at what she said. Fate then blushed a bit at the sheer amount of faith that Hayate was showing them. "We won't fail you then." Fate quietly said with steel beneath her words.
Nanoha nodded as well. "We won't fail you at our first mission." She said strongly as well, as Hayate nodded at their determination.
"My thanks for the bravery that you two are doing now." Hayate said calmly, before her calm face became a smirk. And whatever courage that Nanoha was feeling at the time was replaced with nothing but pure unadulterated fear now. She knew that smirk from anywhere and the smirk was nothing but bad news for those involved.
"So, tell me have you two girls advanced on your relationship with Yu after I gave you guys that bottle of rather expensive Japanese sake?" She asked coyly and then she grinned widely upon seeing our red faces. "So, you three did do the deed!" She cheered before calming down. "Got to ask, who went first then?" She asked lecherously at the two girls before getting silence for the time being causing her to huff.
"Fine then, I guess I will just have to ask Yu and pressure him." She said as the two girls widened their eyes at what she planned to do. "I must say that this is the perfect time to use sexy maids, Reinforce, Signum, and Shamal for this." She said with a smirk as she saw that both their eyes were widening further in horror. "Well now got a Rider to pressure, bye." She said.
"Stop!" Fate shouted causing Hayate to stop moving as she looked back at her before she whispered the answer out, causing Hayate to smirk.
"Oh, what was that you said Fate?" Hayate asked mockingly.
"Oh, lay off her!" I soon intervened and gave her my best glare despite the fact my face completely red. "We both slept with Yu after drinking that sake that you modified." I said firmly as Hayate then had an expression of surprise as I started to smirk a bit. "Never knew that Yu was a stud now, did you?" I asked somewhat mockingly.
"…I…did…not know." Hayate admitted.
I nodded at that. "You know it's certainly a shame." I said causing Hayate to look at me in confusion. "Yu's not going to be happy about that and he's certainly going to be a bit furious with you." I said as Hayate started to pale, remembering the last time she faced Yu's wraith in the form of an astral projection of Valkyrie. "And we're joining in as well." I added as whatever color Hayate had left her face soon after. Then she started begging for mercy as me and Fate started walking back to our dorm.
'Just who am I?' A voice thought to itself as it started to become more and more curious. 'For what purpose was I born? Why am I here in this cold lonely place I am in right now?' It thought to itself as a life was born with awareness behind the Jail's very back as he continued working still.
In a dark room that was barely lit, there were three brains in a jar filled with liquid and seem to be kept alive by what appears to be life support systems as they watched the news of the recent attacks by Shocker and the number of casualties that were shown as the news updated them on the latest of attacks and where Shocker has been shown to have had been stopped by the TSAB
To make things even creepier was the fact that all three brains were actually still alive and they had a hand in various illegal and inhumane projects around the galaxy. But unknown to most, they were the High Council of the TSAB. While it is true that the TSAB were founded by the two Grand Marshals of the TSAB and had the Three Legendary Admirals as their apprentices.
The High Council could be considered to be the drop-outs that greatly disagreed with the Grand Marshal's wishes to protect the known galaxy through their own powers and intervention. What they desired was power, power to become the absolute rulers of the known galaxy and after their "official" retirement, they still existed to cause trouble for the TSAB and influencing many events throughout the galaxy.
As soon as the news finished one of the brains spoke up. "This is getting out of hand." It snarled furiously. "We were supposed to be the rulers of the galaxy and now this group called Shocker appeared out of nowhere and starts wreaking havoc on everything and thus instead of expanding our power base we now have to deal with their fact and now have to contend with them for ruling the galaxy." It finished.
"I agree." Another brain rumbled. "To think that planet we tried to keep hidden from the rest of the galaxy now managed to spread their filth and bring nothing with them but war and death is sickening." If the brain had a face it would have sneered quite cruelly. "If only we had decided to use one of the Lost Logia we have in storage and "accidentally" let it go off on that planet we could never had to deal with the annoyances we face before us now." The brain grumbled.
"It can't be helped." The third one chimed in. "The Grand Marshal would have figured out that the destruction of that world was not natural and the other one would have inquired into the Lost Logia we had sealed up here and then he would have found us no matter what and would have had us in a begging for death situation." The third one finished before shivering in fear as did the other two brains when they remembered the other Grand Marshal of the TSAB.
Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg or the Old Man of the Jewels as he was better known by, is by far and most arguably the most dangerous Magus or "Magician" as he preferred to be called by, in the whole known galaxy. The man turned vampire originally hailed from another world in which there were a secret population of Mages but at the same time they could be still considered primitive due to their disregard for morals and their desire at the expense of people. In a way, Jail would have fared much better as a researcher over there on that world due to be being the same as well.
But the point is, the vampire had control of some of the most powerful magic known to man and the ability to move through various incarnations of reality and at the same time calling upon the power of the endless incarnations of him allowed him to defeat a foe so horrible that the TSAB could only hope to remain unnoticed by in order to survive an encounter with a monster like that.
"Bah, it wouldn't have mattered anyways." The first one spat out if it could. "That world had been nothing but trouble and they have apex predators that would have torn apart any member of the TSAB if we had gone in with our usual plan like they had done to that research team we had sent many years ago," They all grumbled in assent to that remembering the loss and annihilation of their research teams at the hands of some of the monsters known as Fangires, which complicated things.
"Things would have gone off without a wrench in our plans if it wasn't for the fact that damned woman just had to lose the Jewel Seeds over the one planet that has some of the most dangerous beings and annoying filth in this world." The second brain snarled viciously as they remembered exactly the repercussions of Presea's actions annoyingly.
Because of her the organization known as Shocker soon became aware of the what the galaxy had to offer and so they began their own plans for conquest of space and because of her they spread like vermin over the many years since then.
"I do have a concern though." The third brain spoke up. "Why is it, that we had not heard anything about Jail on the progress for the search on the Saint's Cradle? The man was programmed with unlimited desire after all." He questioned.
The second brain spoke up. "That is because from what some of our investigators have noted is that the man may have been picked up by Shocker and is now one of their high-ranking members as the Chief Scientist of their organization." He reported causing the other two brains to curse violently.
"Perfect." The first brain muttered. "Just another dammed complication in our way." As the Brains muttered in assent. "But what should we do about Yu?" The brain asked. "That boy is digging deeper into incidents that we have been trying to cover up."
"Eliminate him." The third brain said coldly. "He's a direct subordinate for the Grand Marshal, so he would most likely be in our way. But we must prepare to make him a scapegoat." He said calmly.
They nodded and continued to argue, failing to realize that they were no longer players on the board but rather pieces to be tossed away to be replaced by something better.
'Well, best talk to Uncle Nitoh and Auntie Lindy for their opinions first.' Yu thought to himself as he calmly waited for the signal to be received. Then soon enough, both Nitoh and Lindy were there waiting for him with big smiles on their faces. 'Well, time to face the muse.' He thought.
"Hey there kiddo!" Nitoh greeted cheerfully. "How have you and the girls been so far? It's been a while since you last contacted us and we were wondering why." Nitoh stated as Lindy nodded.
"Yes, it has been a while since we have last heard anything from you. Tell me Yu, are you doing okay or is there something that you needed to talk to us about or anything like that?" Lindy questioned.
"Well first off, it is great to see you two again." I said with a smile on my face. "I know it must be difficult to be raising twins after having children a long time ago, Auntie Lindy." As Lindy smiled gratefully at that. "And no doubt Uncle Nitoh has been a handful, what with trying to feed Clyde and Gertrude with baby food filled with mayo." I teased as Nitoh got a strained smile on his face.
Lindy nodded and in mock exasperation just sighed. "Oh, you have no idea Yu!" She moaned dramatically. "Nitoh keeps on insisting that poor Clyde and Gertrude need to have mayo in their tummies despite how it is not good for them, not to mention during the first couple of years he keeps trying to hog me away from our precious babies!" She finished with a flair of drama.
I chuckled relentlessly as Nitoh looked embarrassed by how we were both enjoying the fact that we were demonizing Nitoh like there was no tomorrow as he started to pout at the treatment he was being given. Which Auntie Lindy quickly rectify as she gave him what I think was a tongue kiss.
Now you see, most kids would have found that disgusting or just obnoxious. But for the life of me, I really couldn't care less, not to mention that I have seen worst out of those two. Such as the time I slept over at their house when mom and dad dropped me off to go on another mission and they forgot that they didn't soundproof the walls which woke me up and they forgot to close the door as well. Yeah…mom blamed them for my head's up on sex education for that.
"At any rate." Quickly cutting any more shots firing at Nitoh. "There's…something that I…wanted to tell you guys." I said rather nervously as he looked down on the floor a bit.
Lindy and Nitoh quickly noticed my nervous look and for some reason Nitoh and Lindy gained coy smiles that made me very worried about what they were going to say. Which was soon proven when Lindy spoke up. "You got into bed with either Nanoha, or Fate, or maybe even both somehow; didn't you Yu!" Lindy cheered ecstatically as I started choking on whatever I was about to say.
Nitoh then grinned widely as I started pumping my chest to regain my composure. "Hit the mark on that one didn't we Yu?" He teasingly asked as I glared at him.
"Yes, you did." I said rather flatly. "Now back to my question, I am officially in a relationship with Nanoha and Fate." I declared and soon both Lindy and Nitoh went bug eyed and both cursed as my eyes narrowed as Lindy mention something about a bet. "Auntie Lindy, please explain what you two were talking about when you mentioned a bet." I asked calmly.
Lindy soon gained a nervous look as Nitoh let out a sheepish chuckle. "Well Yu, the thing is we have a bet involving the three of you and what time when you guys would have gotten together." She said nervously as my eyes started twitching. "And there were a lot of betters on when you would have gotten in your relationship and…yeah. You know how that story goes." She finished lamely.
There was nothing but silence, nothing but absolute silence and a very strong urge to smash something or anything into pieces right about now. "I…see." I said after some time. "At least I know what to do when I see Earth again." I stated very calmly.
"So, what do you intend to do once you get back?" Nitoh questioned only for him and Lindy to flinch back when I showed the scary smile I haven't used in a long time and I narrowed my eyes furiously.
"Oh, that's simple Uncle Nitoh." I chuckled out. "First, I am going to find everyone who was involved with the bet. Second, I am going to beat them all to a pulp. Third, I am going to take the money from the bet. And lastly, I am going to make each and every one of you suffer beautifully." I declared.
"Now, now Yu. Don't you think that's going a bit too far?" Lindy asked quite nervously with Nitoh quickly nodding his head in agreement.
"I think I'm being rather merciful here." I stated and gave them an angelical smile that made them cringe. "Hope to see you guys soon." I cheerfully said. "Oh, and next time please put on some clothes and not just stay naked in your bed under covers." I deadpanned as Nitoh and Lindy just shrugged.
After some time preparing for the meeting, Yu then went back to his room and then got into a meditative stance. Then he started to calm down and soon he appeared in a whole other place all of a sudden and Yu could only see trees and grass as far as his eye could take him. This was in fact not another world or continent but in fact the Underworld in which his Phantom, otherwise known as Valkyrie resided in.
Then he started floating to where Valkyrie would typically be and what he saw made him look as flat as possible. Valkyrie has basically redesigned her entire living quarters to be that of a giant rainbow castle with searchlights and that theme from Skyrim playing all over the castle without a care in the world. Basically, it was something that only Valkyrie and possibly Hayate could appreciate without stabbing out their eyes at how gaudy it hurt to look at.
Yu quickly ignored the gaudiness of the entire place around him and started entering the gaudy castle and what he saw inside made him twitch his eyebrows. What the hallway used to be filled with what used to be pictures of every last one of Yu's embarrassing moments were now filled with pictures of when Yu got in bed with Nanoha and Fate and through the main room was a giant banner that said.
MY HOST SOMA YU HAS FINALLY GOTTEN LAID AND SHOWED HIMSELF TO NOT ONLY BE A PASSIONATE LOVER BUT ALSO MAN ENOUGH TO TAKE TWO WOMEN AS WELL!
Yu could feel his eyes twitching at what Valkyrie did and swore to tear that down once he was done talking to Valkyrie about an important subject. It was also something that he was rapidly reconsidering talking about the subject with as well. But nevertheless, he made it this far and he was not going to back down now as he found the "Throne" room of Valkyrie and knocked on it.
"Valkyrie, we need to talk." Yu said and calmly waited for a response but received none in return as he was started to get exasperated by Valkyrie's actions. "Valkyrie, just respond so we can talk about a subject I need your opinion on." He said and waited once again for the response but alas, there was no response coming from the throne room as well.
Yu just groaned and then decided to enter it and when he entered the throne room just made him really annoyed as it was just Valkyrie who was doing some kind of yoga…in her birthday suit and soon she turned around as she did a ballerina pose for him while smiling at him in glee. 'Yu!' She chirped. 'What brings my handsome host to visit your sexy and beautiful lady Phantom?' She questioned innocently.
Yu was unamused. "Cut the route I need your advice for how to tell my parents and Nanoha's parents without both of our moms shouting for grandbabies, dad congratulating me for taking my relationship to the next step and without Nanoha's father trying to tear me a new hole." He deadpanned as Valkyrie started to hum in thoughtfulness as she quickly made a couch for Yu to sit on, which he did, and soon Valkyrie got her bodysuit on and sat on Yu's lap.
She then leaned back on him as she gave out her answer. 'In all honesty, it would be better if you were upfront and honest about it with your families and not to hide anything from them. While it would be painful at least Nanoha's dad won't have an excuse to kill you and make your life as miserable as he could, knowing you deflowered his sweet innocent daughter.' Valkyrie said after some time.
Yu looked at Valkyrie and sighed. "Guess I have to face the muse either way huh?" He then looked as Valkyrie who twisted her body to look at him straight in the face. "Well Thanks for your advice Valkyrie." He said with a smile. "Sometimes it's better to be completely honest about some things and just face whatever consequences there are."
Valkyrie smiled at him kindly. 'Of course, Yu, you know for all my joking and perversion aside. I always had your best interest first and foremost.' Then she gently got up and sat down properly and pulled Yu into her laps. 'Now sleep, you need your rest and let this Valkyrie sooth your soul.' She whispered.
Yu complied and slowly fell asleep as Valkyrie sang a gentle song that relaxed him and her smooth hands rubbing his head as he fell asleep soon enough.
'Yu, your life is about to get more complicated…I hope you can handle the pressure.' Valkyrie thought in concern for her young and worried host.
