Disclaimer: I do not own anything about Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (If you can tell the difference between all of these without looking back, you are paying far too much attention.
Wow, this is... Sorta early. I decided to write this so long as I had free time. Oh, and since I think I forgot to mention it last chapter, a single quotation mark like this: ' means that it's a thought, okay?
By the way, guess what warning still applies here.
Nanoha Takamachi stood, Raising Heart firmly held in her hand. Getting ready to begin the sealing process, she rose the device into the air, shouting out the words that she had used so many times before.
"Lyrical Magical! Jewel Seed Serial XX! Seal!"
As she finished saying these words, the familiar sealing process began. As it finished, a blue gem slowly descended to the ground. Absorbing it into Raising Heart's core, Jewel Seed XX was defeated.
While Nanoha and Yuuno were walking back to Nanoha's house, the two of them were holding a discussion.
"Wow, Nanoha, I never knew you could be so devoted to this."
"Well, I figured that as long as I do this, mine as well do it the best I could, right.?" Nanoha, while she felt like she could do much more do to all the intensive training she had gone through at the will of the TSAB, her body thought differently, and was slowly getting more worn out, eventually forcing the now young girl to collapse. Yuuno, who was worried, began to formulate a plan on how to get Nanoha back home while still keeping his cover as a ferret. Luckily, since today was a Saturday, he was in no rush to get her back home in time to get to school tomorrow.
Nanoha awoke after much prodding from Yuuno the next day, and felt like checking her progress. Pushing the blanket aside and burying Yuuno in it, she pulled out the Raising Heart and held it above her. Confirmation Confirmed the voice, and five Jewel Seeds circled around the circular gem. All five of them gained in the week or so after encountering this mage from another world.
"Guess we're going to have to find most of these to move on, huh?" Nanoha mumbled to her device, soft enough for the words to evade the ears of the one currently in ferret form. Yes, I believe so. Spoke the device, seeming to have the same idea that Nanoha did.
As the young boys on the soccer field began to warm-up, Nanoha decided to use this time to think about the course of action she would take today. She remembered this they in particular because it was the day she realized the severity of the situation and how dangerous the Jewel Seeds and all Lost Logia could be. 'Even if I don't like it,' she mused to herself, 'I'm going to have to wait until that giant tree awakens. That guy, even if he is a total idiot, probably knows the circumstances of this situation I'm in in far more depth than I do, and I guess I should follow his advice about not breaking the order of events too much for now.'
The game began shortly after Nanoha finished her thoughts, and she decided to pay attention and just take a short break from all this intensive thinking that she had been doing lately. Number 10 received the ball from one of his teammates, and kicked it to Number 7, who promptly kicked the ball right pass the one standing in front of the goal and into the goal itself, which prompted a cheer from Shiro and all the other players on the bench.
The other team wasn't lucky enough to catch up right now, however, as their attempt at a goal was quickly put down by the goalie, who Nanoha recognized as the one that would be carrying the Jewel Seed and activating it in a few hours after presenting it to that girl he liked. Although she knew that the two would eventually separate in the future, Nanoha couldn't help but wish that the two happiness for now.
The game ended with a score of 2-0, with Midoriya JFC winning. With a yell of celebration, the Midoriya JFC players raised their hands into the air, while the other team looked quite disappointed. Even on the bench, the players were excited, hugging each other to a small extent and even letting out their own cries of victory.
After gathering up everyone after the game, Shiro gave his own super-enthusiastic speech, with Yuuno getting amazed at how easily they won. It seemed that in his life so far he had never seen a one-sided game. Nanoha took advantage of Yuuno's lack of attention on her to have Raising Heart plant a tracking ball of energy that was so small it wouldn't be noticed unless you were staring straight at it to follow the boy with the Jewel Seed so that it would be easier to know about where to target her search later.
While the players were walking towards the cafe to enjoy the food Shiro was going to give them, Nanoha, along with her two friends were trailing behind them. Taking this time to think about the day that Nanoha got thrust into this mess. The day when Nanoha was grown up, and not a kid like she was now. A certain memory of hers flashed to mind, which was Nanoha getting extremely agitated over Yuuno not helping Vivio with her homework. Deciding that today would be as good a day as any to give the ferret a little taste of revenge, Nanoha began formulating a plan when her chance arrived.
The moment in question is when Arisa and Suzuka began to talk about how different Yuuno was from all other ferrets, For some reason, Suzuka had the strange idea of poking Yuuno until he made a noise that they could compare to that of other ferrets. Yuuno, clearly fearful of the idea, turned to Nanoha for help, who pretended to be busy looking around and scanning the area, ignoring the fact that she saw it almost every day. Thus, Yuuno was sentenced to a Trial of Poking, which lasted a good five minutes before Arisa and Suzuka's fingers got tired.
As it would happen, the moment Yuuno's trial ended was the moment the doors open, with all the members of the Midoriya JFC lining up outside. After being sent off by Shiro and everyone going their separate ways, Nanoha focused her vision on the boy with the Jewel Seed, while at the same time not making it obvious that she was doing so. And, just as she thought, the boy pulled out the Lost Logia, staring at it before he put it back into his pocket. Although Nanoha did clearly notice it this time, she didn't do anything.
After arriving home, Nanoha lay on her pillow, mostly alert, waiting for the burst of energy that followed every activation of a Jewel Seed. Suddenly, the signal came. Snapping the full awareness, Nanoha jumped off the bed, asking Yuuno a quick question to confirm.
"Yuuno, did you feel that!? It was a Jewel Seed, right!" Although Nanoha's question was more of a statement than a question, Yuuno still felt obliged to answer it.
"Yes, it was. We should hurry and get to it before it's too late." Dashing off, Yuuno and Nanoha both scurried down the stairs, offering only a quick explanation to Nanoha's father before leaving the house and setting off.
Quickly reaching the top of the building, Nanoha threw Raising Heart into the air.
"Raising Heart, please!" She yelled, waiting for Raising Heart's cue to begin equipping her Barrier Jacket and staff.
Standby, ready. Set Up. Responded the Device, which quickly proceeded to extend and give Nanoha her Barrier Jacket.
When she finished, Nanoha scanned the area of effect caused by the Jewel Seed. Seeing how much the town had been destroyed, she still felt some pangs of guilt, yet knowing that all this would be fixed brought some comfort to her. Sensing the location of where her tracking energy ball was, Nanoha let out a search in that direction. Finding the exact location of the Jewel Seed, Nanoha then proceeded to tell Raising Heart to go into Shooting Mode, and it quickly followed instructions. Aiming straight for the seed, Nanoha quickly fired her Divine Buster at the Seed, gaining it's serial number. Seeing the girl use such advanced magic already did not put Yuuno into shock this time, for the time he had spent with Nanoha taught him to expect these things. As the beam of energy reached the target, she began her sealing chant.
"Lyrical Magical! Jewel Seed Serial X! Seal it!"
As the seed reverted to its original form and flew into Raising Heart, Nanoha solemnly reverted to civilian form and began to walk away. As she was heading through the heart to home, she looked up and saw the two people from earlier, supporting each other as they headed home. It was then that Nanoha realized something, that even though she knew what would happen, she still had to try as hard as she could to stop things like this from happening.
Well, that's it. Please, tell me how you think I'm writing Nanoha. I think I'm making her a bit too aggresive, but I'm not sure.
