I did not hear his words as I leaped forward while channeled my ki and unleashing my killing intent, both at full power.

0065 - December

TSAB Ship Arthra - Training Room

Several days went uneventful. And by uneventful meant that neither Wolkenritter nor Hentai Kamen popping out somewhere.

However, one thing led to another, and I got lost on the ro-

Ahem. I meant I got roped by the White Devil for an intense sparring session. Right after Fate got clean bill of health, we're engaged in three-way spar. Blocking scythe while dodging pink projectiles was hard. Deflecting barrage of yellow arrows together with pink beams was harder. Failed to break pink shield because being gunned by spinning yellow attack was saddening. Missed breaking yellow shield because the caster moved so fast and then targeted by pink blast was damaging my credibility.

Standard sneak attack was no good, both had countermeasure against my usual tactics. Nanoha would use her Axel Shooter to create an active defensive move, several pink projectiles rotating around her in high speed. Whenever hostile target was near, the projectiles would stop orbiting her and made a beeline toward the hostile. Either I sneaked and got hit by orbiting projectiles, or I came forward and got hit by magical equivalent of Uzi.

On the other hand, Fate would jump around. She had no proper defensive move, but she had speed. And she had plenty. Whenever I disappeared from sight, she would jump to somewhere else while shooting her yellow arrows in omnidirection.

All I had with me were mostly melee moves, which were circumventable by both of them. My ranged attack, Shadow Dagger, was too pitiful compared to their pink and yellow colored attack.

Like throwing knives against energy beams pitiful..

Too OP, GM nerf plz!

Of course I did not bring out my other moves. One, I wanted to keep a surprise. Two, I was not quite familiar with those moves yet.

And suddenly, both girls decided that the spar had gone long enough. Nanoha began to charge her Starlight Breaker while Fate prepared her Plasma Smasher.

This was no good.

I crossed my arms on chest level and shouted, "Eyaruu!"

[Roger Boss! Battle Aura. Cross Guard.]

Channeling my ki, I focused on protecting my fragile body. Yeah right, anything was just as fragile when placed between two beams of destruction.

Willpower Defense!

Amaterasu-sama, Sunanoo-sama, Tsukuyomi-sama. Is this your punishment for me?

TSAB Ship Arthra - Medical Bay

I woke up with ache all over my body.

"Now I know how a ping-pong ball feels," I groaned from my bed.

A sound of weak giggles came from next bed. "Welcome to Nanoha-chan's Befriending Program. Now you are officially friends."

"Hey!" Nanoha yelled in protest from another bed. "Not my fault that he asked for it."

"First the eldest brother, then the youngest sister. Only the middle sister that's left." I grumbled with butchered grammar, "Frickin' Takamachi. Frickin' bushi. Frickin' bushi-madoushi."

Fate giggled again.

"You said things about me to my oniichan. And you said we weren't friends because I hadn't hit you yet. You're practically asking for it."

"That's the only way she really makes friend," Fate chirped.

"I resent that. I did not blow Yuuno-kun."

"Of course not," I agreed. "There's no need to. He's your familiar after all."

"HEY!" two shouts of protest and one giggle could be heard.

=I am no familiar damn it!= came Yuuno's voice from a floating screen.

"I beg to differ. Eyaruu!"

[Roger, Boss!]

One floating screen from my device displayed four kids; Nanoha, Fate, Arisa, ans Suzuka. They were eating cakes in Midori-ya accompanied by two animals, a puppy and a ferret. It was a very rare find, lower than one in a million chance to get.

=Tha... That's...= he lost and suddenly closed the connection.

Fate and I giggled, Nanoha pouted.

"So, now you have Suzuka, Arisa, me, Arf, Chrono, and finally Will," Fate listed. "While Yuuno is special case, I believe Vita is technically your friend too."

Nanoha groaned.

0065 - December

Uminari Residential Area

I was walking along the neighborhood somewhen in evening. Then, I passed by one Miyuki Takamachi who was escorting Fate from their house. Arf was in her puppy form and had her leash on Miyuki's hand.

"Ah.. Will, good evening," Fate greeted me.

I nodded to her, "You too."

Miyuki tilted her head, "Someone you know, Fate-chan?"

"Ah, yes. Miyuki-san, this is William Thunderion. A mutual friend of ours. He is working under Lindy-san... I think?"

"Actually, I am currently freelancing on her work," I corrected her. "And, yes. A friend. Nanoha has made it official."

Fate giggled. Miyuki got a glint in her eyes.

I turned toward Miyuki and gave her my introduction with a slight bow. "William Thunderion, but call me Will. One thing led to another and I got lost on the road of life."

Both girls sweat-dropped.

"Takamachi Miyuki," she introduced herself. "High-school student and Nanoha's big sister." Here the glint returned, "So... already working at your age? And what is this I hear about Nanoha?"

I put a small smile and answered, "I have a complicated family matters, and please leave it at that. As for Nanoha... Well, something happened, and I quote, 'You said things about me to my oniichan. And you said we weren't friends because I hadn't hit you yet. You're practically asking for it.' end quote. I will leave the rest to your imagination."

Both girls giggled.

"Well that's certainly amusing," Miyuki said. Then her eyes widen. "Wait! Are you the self-proclaimed shinobi-boy Kyou-chan was talking about?"

I snorted, "If this 'Kyou-chan' you are reffering to is the maniac with twin bokken, then yes I am. And for your note, I am a shinobi by technicality. Not self-proclaimed."

She snorted, "He returned home in tattered clothing and few bruises plus two broken bokken. But that goofy grin remained for several hours. Just what kind of spar did you two do?"

"At first he approached me, saying that I look bored. Then he offered me a spar and handed me one of his spare bokken. I, being unfamiliar with said weapon, returned it back to him."

She raised an eyebrow and urged me to continue.

I had to smirk at this, "Well, we were having a bokken vs fist battle, followed with dual-bokken vs dual-tonfa. Your 'Kyou-chan' then offered, and I quote, 'one last blow; full power,' end quote. Of course I refused it, so we settled on one step short of permanent damage. You could imagine the rest."

Now the glint turned into sparkles.

"On a related note, it took a lot to heal injuries I got from that damned maniac. Plus, his equally maniac little sister roped me to another spar," I looked at Fate's unrecognizable expression, "with her equally maniac friend. I was bedridden afterwards."

Fate made a chocked sound at my description.

"But you've recovered now," Miyuki said eyeing me.

"Uh, yes?"

"Good. Now, Will-kun... May I call you Will-kun?" I nodded and she continued, "Let's have a spar."

The sparkles in her eyes increased.

Frickin' Takamachi. Frickin' bushi!

0065 - December 23rd

Uminari City

I was on my way back, after enjoying a nice snack, when a telepathic message came.

=Will-kun. A barrier just went up and we lost contact with Nanoha-san and Fate-san. Last thing we heard, they were visiting a friend of a friend in hospital.=

The fuck? The final battle was this day?

=My orders?= I asked directly to the point.

=The barrier is augmented with communication suppression field. You are to enter the barrier alone, but we wont be able to contact you. Support is on the way=

I hurriedly walked to the nearest alley I could find.

=So, essentially a SAR mission, either solo or in team. Understood. Any other objective? Especially regarding Hentai Kamen or possibly the book's master.=

=Currently no. But we will leave it to the judgement of highest ranking officer on the field.=

=Understood. I am ready anytime.=

=We will teleport you up as close as possible to the hospital. Good luck.=

.

It turned out that we were late. Hayate-chan (yes, I thank whatever deity above that this universe had Hayate-chan instead of Hayate-kun) was crying on the floor while fake-Nanoha and fake-Fate sneered at her. Vita, either real or illusion was suspended in mid-air between the duo. The real duo were captured and bound several distance away from her sight.

The shitty impersonator were saying in eerie voice.

"Broken program are useless." "We thought we'd erase them."

"Huh? Wait! Stop!"

I used Silent Step and channeled ki to my legs while jumping through Flying Platforms. Sadly I wasn't fast enough. Before I could stop them, they smiled sinisterly and held a glowing card each.

"If you want to stop us..." the fake-Nanoha said.

Fake-Fate finished, "Do so with force."

"Why?! Why?!" Hayate chan wailed. Her hand unable to reach far. "Why does this have to happen?!"

"Neh, Hayate chan..." "Destiny is a cruel thing.'

"No! Stop! Stop!"

The card glowed bright and the fake duo disappeared.

Hayate was suddenly having spasms, before white Belkan triangle appeared below her. The Book of Darkness appeared and hovered before her-

[Good Morning, Master.]

-and the white color turned dark purple.

Nanoha and Fate escaped their binding-

"Hayate-chan!" "Hayate!"

-right before she cried out loud and the rooftop was engulfed in explosion of energy.

Okay, time to recount the situation. Cons, I was too late and Berserk Rein appeared. Pros, I was still in invisible mode and the Hentai Kamen did not see me.

Believing in both Nanoha's and Fate's ability, I made my way toward the Hentai Kamen duo. They had relocated to a building in certain distance from the trio.

I canceled the Flying Platform and activated Wall Walk. By the time I arrived there, they just finished putting another barrier. Looking back, I could see a dark-colored pulsating orb. Energy attack that's ready to be unleashed.

The orb rose and exploded, covering large area with same color.

Two masked shit-stains were watching and I sneaked from behind them. I approached the one to the right.

Channeled my ki, I raised both tonfas-

[Point Impact!]

-and smashed both of his shoulder-blades.

A sickening crunch was accompanied by scream of pain that escaped from his mouth. The other Hentai Kamen was stunned in shock.

As the attack was dealt, my Silent Step was canceled. Not wasting any time, I unleashed my full killing intent, freezing their movement. Turning to the healthier one, I smashed him with my tonfas-

[Point Impact!]

-on the chest. He was sent flying. I used a ki-enhanced elbow strike to nail the first one on the jaw before leaping toward the second. The one with damaged shoulder-blades, now with slight concussion, fell down. His brain failed to register what just happened.

Still in mid-air, I made both tonfas disappear and pulled both fist to my right waist-

"Feel. My. Love."

[Down. Down-right. Right. Hit.]

"HADOUKEN!"

-and unleashed the move from above. The attack hit him on the stomach and pushed him further into the concrete. An impression of his body decorated with spider web was made on the roof surface.

I stopped my killing intent and extended my ki-sensing. One familiar signature was approaching.

"That was... Quite brutal, Will," the newly arrived Chrono commented.

I turned to face him. Channeling EMIYA, I said, "I told you, I take offense on non consensual sex and child-molesting. I do like porn and stuffs, but I detest both of those."

He gaped in mix of "what the fuck are you saying" and "I am too tired for this shit".

"These two are child molester, hence I punished them hard," I explained.

Chrono pinched the bridge of his nose, "They are charged for committing crime, for assisting in Book of Darkness' completion. Which was done by attacking TSAB officers and helping the knights draining cores, not child molesting."

"Putting hand on girl's chest is molesting. One of them put their hand on Fate's still-developing chest. Ergo, they are child molester," I argued.

He slapped his forehead. "The correct word is 'in'. They were sticking in their hand in someone's chest. Not on it."

Two groans of pain cut our debate short.

Chrono approached the downed Hentai Kamen pair and raised his device.

[Struggle Bind]

"Now, shall we see who you truly are?" the teen asked rhetorically.

His spell began forcefully undoing any and all transformation magics that his two captives may had on them.

The forms of Hentai Kamen began to waver.

"Wow! My theory was proven correct once again," I exclaimed.

Actually I did know beforehand. I just pretended to be surprised.

Chrono decided to ignore me as he watching his captive. In a few seconds, the 'men' were gone and replaced by a pair of twin cat-girls.

"Aria? Lotte? What's going on?" Chrono asked, surprised as he recognized them.

Shaking his head after quick thinking, he decided to rang a certain admiral up.

The floating screen displayed an aged man. The name 'Admiral Gil Graham' displayed in Mid-Childan letters.

He was Hayate's legal guardian on Earth if wasn't mistaken. Then again, some parts of the anime was either ignored or forgotten by yours truly.

=Yes?= the man asked in calm voice.

"Care to explain this, Admiral?" Chrono said in flat tone.

I grinned, this was some worthy prank ready to be unleashed. I waited until the perfect moment-

"Don't you dare to speak to father like that!" one of the twin, the one who received my Hadouken spoke.

She tried to struggle futilely against the magical bindings that were tying both of them up. Her injuries caused by yours truly did not help.

"He has nothing to do with this! This was all..."

-before suddenly interrupting.

"Whoa! So, you're telling me that he's the Hentai Kamen Senior?" I pointed at the man.

Four chocked sound, two from the twins, one from Chrono, and one from the Admiral himself, echoed on the rooftop.

I turned toward the screen and spoke in very calm voice, "You, sir, are the Grand Master of child molesting. These two held no candle compared to you."

A/N: It seems my muse slowed down a little, because some of these were taken directly from the anime... word by word. I hope it wont leave me easily, since MC still need to raise more chaos and piss off some top brass in TSAB.

Anyway, thank you for your support and please review.

Until next time.
