"All Stars and Lightning personnel, please report at the main entrance in 30 minutes." Hayate's voice resonated through the building as the sunlight peeked through the curtains of Teana and Subaru's room. Subaru's eyes shot open a second later and she was already busy dressing herself while Teana groaned and turned herself over in her bed.

"Come ON Teana! Captain Takamachi will be mad at us if we don't show up in time!" She said as she shook Teana's shoulders, trying to wake her up.

"I know, I know Subaru…" She sleepily replied as she rolled out of bed on the cold hard floor. "Ugh…shouldn't have stayed up so late…" She grabbed her clothes and went to dress herself.

"I'm going on ahead!" Subaru called as she shut the door of their room, excited as ever to carry out her missions. She passed by Shari, who clenched her fist in front of her chest, mouthing a "Fight-o!" and Vice, who winked and gave her a thumbs-up. Subaru grinned and gave a quick salute before dashing on towards the meeting hall.

When she arrived there, she already saw Fate, Nanoha and Hayate discussing various aspects of the mission, with a few dozen viewscreens floating around them. She decided not to bother them. In stead, she went to ask the personnel if there was anything she could help with. Nanoha spared a glance in her direction and she was pleased to see her subordinate up and at it as excitedly as she remembered herself doing the same a few years ago.

After a few minutes, everyone was gathered, packed and ready to leave. Hayate made the last agreements with the people that stayed behind, nodding and poiting to information showing up on various viewscreens.

"Right. Off we go then." Nanoha said cheerfully as she held her Intelligent Device in her outstretched palm. Everyone who transferring with her did the same. "Raging Heart, if you would?" Nanoha wondered as she smiled at the sparkling red marble.

"Allright Master." Came the metallic reply. "Attention. All safety limiters have been removed. Caution! Slight fluctuations in the energy direction and/or shooting targeting system can occur. Self-check in progress." A slight pause. "Check complete. All parts are in optimal condition. Requesting set up confirmation from TSAB HQ Device Server…confirmed. I am ready for set up. Stand by, ready." Raging Heart finished. The other Intelligent and Armed devices responded with their own activation statement. Shari let out a little squeal as she heard all the Devices chattering away as they went through their own self-checks and preparation progress. The reply from the Belkan Armed devices was simply "Reihenfolge hat angenommen. Vorbereiten Sie, um zu aktivieren."

"Set up!" replied everyone at the same time as they were engulfed in their own sphere of magical energy, equipping their Barrier Jackets providing their protection and activating their Intelligent and Armed devices, making themselves ready for battle.

When the transformation proces was complete, Shamal held out her Device, Klär Wind. "Let us ride on your breeze." She whispered softly as she kissed the ring on her right index finger. A Belkan magical circle appeared underneath the group and the group dissolved into magical energy that converged on itself and dissapated, on a dimensional journey towards the headquarters.

"Admiral!" A new viewscreen opened, featuring one of the Comm members saluting to Admiral Chrono Halaown. "The transport has just been set in motion, reaching us in…1 minute!" The man finished.

"Thank you." Chrono replied as he switched the viewscreen to the Dimensional travel chamber. "Attention personnel. The 6th Division will be arriving shortly, open a portal towards the targeted dimension. Yuuno, Arf. I'm counting on you." He said as he smiled at the duo who were gathering magical energies and opened up a portal directly underneath the spot where the team would arrive.

"Portal stable. Target: Uncharted dimension: E-2014." The computerized voice stated only a few seconds before the expected Belkan magical circle appeared on the ground.

After the lights dissapated and everyone had their orientations straight, it was Chrono who was the first to speak. "Good morning Liuetenant Colonel. I take it your team is ready for take-off?"

Hayate nodded as smiled determinatly. "All hands are equipped and ready sir."

"Allright then." Chrono said a bit more informally. "As of now, this operation is underway. I wish you all the best of luck Hayate."

"Right then. Off ya go!" Arf chirped. "Good luck Fate, I'm sure ya can handle yaself without my help!" She said with a playful wink. Fate smiled silently as she felt the transporting magic take hold of her.

"Dimensional travel…commence!" Arf and Yuuno cried out together.
