-Opening: "Secret Ambition" Nana Mizuki-
Sonic Adventure: Lyrical Step
Chapter 20
Reason for Living, Who is Vivio?
-Flashback-
-Insert: "Dreams of an Absolution"-
Silver the Hedgehog was a young hedgehog with psychic powers, living by himself in a post-apocalyptic world. He floated around this wasteland he seemed to call home soon he caught glimpse of some older news articles that contained to us normal, miscellaneous topics like the latest lacrosse scores, but to him, it was something else. A piece of the past that told him that things weren't always like this. And such he sought out to try to save the world.. But, one day his travels were cut short when he encountered a mysterious light and lost consciousness.
He came to in a laboratory bed, when he awoke he saw what looked like a young human girl, with long, silver flowing hair, and an eyepatch over her right eye. She wore a blue jumpsuit outfit. Silver couldn't help but stare at her in wonder, never seeing any humans in his time, and the girl also had an air of experience with her.. The girl noticed his stare and gave a soft smile, one that gave off a feeling of caring.
"You're awake." The girl approached him.
The hedgehog reacted a bit insecurely and defensively "W-who are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you. My name's Cinque. What's yours?" Cinque said.
"Silver... Silver the Hedgehog.." the silver hedgehog spoke quietly.
"Well Silver, it's good to see you're doing alright. We found you lying down in the forest, traveling alone can be dangerous" Cinque said in concern.
"Where am I?" Silver asked
"In a lab, ran by my creator, Jail Scaglietti.. He should be here to check on you soon, until then you're in my care." Cinque replied. She took the time to look over Silver "Do you remember where you're from?"
"A city.. I can't remember the name.. but.. I remember that it was in ruins... So was the rest of the world..." Silver replied
"Well.. I don't know about any world like that." Cinque noted.
Silver then looked at a nearby wall that happened to display a calendar. The date was the same as when he left his world, but the year wasn't.. It was at least 30 years ago "Is that really the year? How? When I checked last the year was higher.."
Cinque listened, soon Jail walked in, his sudden appearance shocked Silver but Cinque managed to calm him down.
"This is the boy you found? He seems lost" Jail noted
"I don't think he's from this time... He said that the calendar's year was off and he came from a world that was in ruins from an incident." Cinque explained.
"Please.. help me. I don't know what to do" Silver pleaded.
Jail thought hard and came up with a solution "There may be a solution, in this world there are these things called Relics, they are objects of great power. Maybe finding the right one will be able to help you get back to your time, or even better, fixing your world so that you can live in peace in a world as great as this. As Cinque has probably said, I created her, there are several others like her, and we're all working for the same goal. To find these Relics, help us, and I promise we'll do what we can to help you."
Silver thought a bit about what the kind doctor (to him) was saying, his words seemed to make sense, and with little reason to doubt he said "I'll help.. I want to get back to my world and save it.. And if the Relics can help that, I'll help you"
Jail clapped "Splendid.." he turned to Cinque "Cinque, can you introduce him to Zest? Convince him to accompany this young one and teach him about this world, protect him until his help is needed."
Cinque saluted in acknowledgment "I can do that. Here Silver, can you walk on your own?"
Silver got out of the bed and walked with Cinque. They soon met up with Knight Zest, who with reluctance, agreed to help the young boy out. They traveled on the road, Zest acted as Silver's mentor, teaching him how to defend himself (Which was where Zest found out about Silver's ESP) and how to survive a life of travel
One night, they came upon a laboratory that was ran by some shifty scientists. The workers were performing illegal tests and inflicting unnecessary pain to the subjects. Wanting to help and ease the pain, Silver convinced Zest to help destroy the lab and prevent any more pain. In the remnants of the lab they found Agito, a masterless Unison Device, laying on a small slab naked with her hands bound over her head. Zest took her off the slab and with Silver in tow, left the lab and stood outside it, watching it burn in the night. Agito was covered in a small cloth.
Zest started to walk away from the lab, but Silver stopped him
"What?" The rough man asked
Silver pointed behind him at Agito "Are we just going to leave her? It wouldn't feel right"
"That's an ancient Belka-type. A real unison device. She should be properly cared for, assuming one of the Bureau members who notice the fire finds her." Zest explained
"She'll just be used for experiments again if they do." Silver argued
"They're the lesser of two evils, compared to the ones here.. Well I'd like to think so." Zest said
"Let's take her, Zest." Silver said as he softly carried Agito.
"Are you sure?" Zest asked.
"Yeah, this way she won't suffer any more tests." Silver replied.
-End Flashback-
Agito woke up with a gasp, she was in Silver's sleeping grasp "Damn it, that awful dream." She ascended slightly.
Silver also woke up "Wha? That dream again.. Oh, Agito, you're awake" the hedgehog said to Agito
"Yeah, I had another dream that reminded me of those memories." Agito said
"You were reminded of your memories too?" Silver asked
"Yeah, it's all their fault, that white-haired unison device (Rein) and her red lord (Vita)." Agito replied
"Seeing that blue hedgehog reminded me of my past.. I thought I was the only one.." Silver said.
"That blue hedgehog was also a Lord, his servant just wasn't out, I could feel her presence inside that ring he wore. Regardless we have more reason to kick their asses next time we meet them! Not only did they remind me of my past, but also that embarrassing defeat! Being toyed with by the antics" Agito ranted.
As Agito ranted, all Silver could do was listen and wait for Zest to wake up.
-Mid-Childa Highway-
-Insert: "Luca" Final Fantasy X-
A familiar car drove on the highway, Signum was driving; Nanoha was in the left passenger seat while Sonic rode in the middle of the backseat.
"I'm sorry, Signum, for having you drive us like this.." Nanoha apologized.
"Oy.. Nanoha, quit apologizing, I don't mind the drive anyway.. Fastest thing or not, doesn't really matter if you don't know where you're going." Sonic commented.
Signum replied to the apology "Don't worry, I'm borrowing the car from Testarossa, anyway. And Sister Schach is waiting for us there, so it's best I go as an intermediary."
"Yes..." Nanoha agreed.
"Anyway, once the examination is finished and we know what's going on, what do you think will happen to them?" Signum asked.
"Well.. Riot Force 6 or the Saint Church will have to look after the girl.. I don't know about the robot." Nanoha said
Sonic answered "As long as we keep Emerl away from any dangerous and/or powerful weapons, he's pretty stable..We cannot let him absorb too much energy, I can't have a repeat of the past. I'm not going to let that happen again."
Signum nodded as she drove, a few seconds later Schach contacts her "Knight Signum, this is Schach Noeura of the Saint Church."
"What happened?" Signum asked
"I'm sorry.. we failed to properly secure them both..." Schach started which got Sonic and Nanoha to focus their attention on her. She finished "Both the girl and robot vanished in the middle of the examination."
-Saint Hospital-
-Insert: "Out of the Frying Pan" Final Fantasy X-
The trio quickly parked at the lot. Schach went out to meet them.
"I'm sorry" Shach started already with an apology.
"Oy...oy.. just get to it, what's going on?" Sonic asked.
"We've sealed and evacuated the special wing and the surrounding areas. As of yet, we've found no indication of anyone coming in via flight or teleportation." Schach explained
"She can't leave the building right?" Nanoha asked
"Hai" Schach replied.
"Then let's split up and look for her. Vice-Captain Signum, Sub-Commander Sonic." Nanoha stated
"Hai!" Signum saluted
"Okay!" Sonic replied, they split up into two groups, Signum and Schach in one, Nanoha and Sonic in the other.
-Group 1 (Signum and Schach)-
Signum and Schach searched through one of the levels of the hospital, conversing along the way.
"The examination failed to find anything dangerous on either of them, correct?" Signum asked
"Her magical levels were fairly high, but they were still in the range of a normal child her age.. And the robot's power seemed to be stable itself, and during the tests it's recovery mode ended when it came online, and it seemed to be cooperative to the tests." Schach replied.
"But even so.." Signum said.
"I'm sorry to say it, but there's no doubt that the girl is an artificial life form, and her companion is also confirmed to be a relic of ancient technology.. And there's no way to tell what latent threat they pose." Schach finished.
-Group 2 (Sonic and Nanoha)-
The duo searched the outside of the hospital. They got lucky when the young blonde came out of a set of bushes, holding the small bunny she was given tightly, her eyes were revealed to be heterochromatic, her right eye green and her left eye red.
"There you are." Nanoha said as she and Sonic slowly approached her.
"We've been looking for you" Sonic added.
-Group 1-
Schach caught sight of Nanoha and Sonic with the girl. "That's her.." She called to her device which was attached to a key chain"Surging Waves! Windelshaft!" and disappeared into an orange flash which landed in between Sonic, Nanoha, and the girl
-Group 2 now with Schach-
Schach gave Nanoha and Sonic quite the surprise when she got into a fighting stance with her device blades wielded in both hands.
The young girl could only step back, scared stiff, looking like she was nearly about to cry. As Schach approached, the girl's fears grew, in fear, she dropped the stuffed bunny and fell on her bottom. Almost in an instant, Emerl appeared, wielding twin tonfa shaped handblades in his fists as well in a stoic stance facing Schach, determined to defend her. The tension was so thick one false move and things could get ugly. The girl started to cry.
"Oy.. oy." Sonic shook his head "Very smart.. just scare the living daylights out of a little kid.. artificial or not.."
"Sister Schach, may we?" Nanoha asked.
"H-hai" Schach relaxed, lowering her blades, letting Nanoha and Sonic to handle the girl and robot. Lowering her device also eased Emerl off, the robot lowered his as well.
-The "Luca" theme resumes-
Nanoha picked up the small bunny and dusted it off "I'm sorry.. You were scared right?"
"Are you alright, kid?" Sonic followed, showing a kind and gentle appearance like Nanoha was.
Nanoha handed the stuffed animal gently to the girl. "Can you stand?"
The girl responded by doing so, her expression quite curious of the two. Her companion was very stoic as he let the two help.
Sonic and Nanoha dusted the girl's clothing off on both sides. Nanoha sent mentally to Schach 'There doesn't seem to be any danger, arigatou-gosaimasu Sister Schach'
'H-hai.' Schach replied.
Nanoha was at direct eye level with the girl, she spoke kindly "Nice to meet you, I'm Takamachi Nanoha."
Sonic added "Ore wa Sonic, Sonikku ze hejihoggu. Can you say your name?"
"Vivio.." The young girl, now known as Vivio replied.
"Vivio eh? That's a cute name" Nanoha complimented.
Sonic added "Cute name for a cute girl." he said this in a comforting way as he softly
"Did you want to go somewhere?" Nanoha asked.
"Mama isn't here.." Vivio said sadly.
"That's terrible, let's look for her together then! We can do it, ne Sonic-kun?" Nanoha said.
"Of Course, With my speed we'll be sure to find her" Sonic added with a kind smile.
Emerl got the chance to get his attention by poking him. The duo had a bit of a starring contest.. Sonic won out when the robot flinched.
The blue blur chuckled as he patted the robot's head "Now there's the Emerl I remember. Always stubborn.. I told you that's what you get for spending too much time with that "Spikey Headed Mole" (Knuckles)."
Emerl replied "Yeah.. It's been a long time since we last saw each other.. And look at you, got yourself quite a cute girlfriend" the robot teased as he pointed to Nanoha.
A blush was shared on both Sonic and Nanoha's faces.
The robot continued to tease "Knowing you, you've probably got another one too, lucky you." which further got the duo blushing.
Sonic deadpanned "You've been spending too much time with Rouge.."
-Riot Force 6 HQ: Hayate's office-
Hayate and Fate were talking in her office.
"An emergency inspection, for Riot Force 6?" Fate asked
"Yeah, there's been talk of it at the Ground Forces HQ." Hayate confirmed
"The Ground Force HQ's inspections are pretty tough, I hear." Fate said
"We've got a lot of problems to begin with, this team." Hayate complained
"If we were ordered to change our shift or our position right now, it would be the end of us." Fate noted.
"We have to get past this somehow" Hayate said.
"Ah, this has something to do with the inspection as well, but.. Can you tell me the real reason Riot Force 6 was established, now?" Fate asked
Hayate replied "I guess, it's good timing, after all. I'm heading to the Saint Church HQ to meet with Carim today. Chrono will be there too. Could you, Nanoha and Sonic come too? I can tell you there."
"Yeah.." Fate confirmed. "Are Nanoha and Sonic back I wonder." she pushed a few buttons on a display interface and opened a video call to Nanoha and Sonic, what she and Hayate got was quite humorous. Young Vivio, out of hospital garments, was crying and clinging to BOTH Sonic and Nanoha. The forwards were there as well.
"Ah, don't cry, don't cry." Nanoha tried to calm her down
Sonic added (this was still over the contact) "W-we don't have time to play.. please don't cry."
"Come play with us" Caro said to Vivio, her plea fell on deaf ears.
Both Hayate and Fate were speechless.
-POV Shift: Sonic, Nanoha, Forwards-
Vivio held onto Nanoha and Sonic like a little kid, crying and pleading to them.
Fate asked over the call "What's happening?"
Nanoha turned her head to the call "Captain Fate, actually.."
"Uh.. Help." Sonic summarized in one word.
"Don't go! Don't go!" Vivio pleaded.
-Quick shift-
Fate ended the call there. She and Hayate left the office to see the scene personally
-POV: Sonic, Nanoha, Forwards-
-Insert: "Chocobo Theme" Final Fantasy VIII (LOL! COULD NOT RESIST!)
Nothing changed, Vivio still had her arms wrapped around Nanoha and Sonic, still crying and pleading. Emerl was stoically leaning against the wall, finding the whole situation funny.. must be someone's personality he got.
The door to the room slid open for Fate and Hayate to go through
"Captain Yagami!" Teana noted
"Fate-san" Erio added.
"Well I guess there are some opponents even the Ace of Aces or The World's Fastest Hedgehog can't defeat" Hayate joked
'Fate-chan, Hayate-chan, um... save me.' Nanoha pleaded mentally
'help... please' Sonic added mentally.
"Subaru, Caro, let's calm her down for now, you can step aside" Hayate said.
(I'm having too much fun)
Fate went to work, first getting the stuffed bunny that Vivio liked and held it in front of her "Konnichiwa (japanese greeting)"
Vivio stared at Fate and the stuffed animal, her attention on them now.
"Is this your friend" Fate asked as she held the animal.
"Vivio, this is Fate-san" Nanoha introduced.
Sonic added "She's our best friend"
Emerl teased from his spot with a cough "coff! Girlfriend! Coff" it got blushes to the trio's faces, but they recovered to focus on Vivio.
"Vivio, what's wrong?" Fate asked kindly
'For now, we brought her back from the hospital, but she won't leave us alone.' Nanoha said mentally
'She's fallen in love with you both, maybe.' Fate replied mentally
'What? You're kidding.. We're probably old enough to be her parents.' Sonic lamented
'So, I thought I'd have the forwards take care of her.' Nanoha sent mentally again.
'We're sorry.' All four Forwards said unanimously and mentally.
'It's okay, leave it to me.' Fate told them
"Hey, does Vivio want to be with Nanoha and Sonic?" Fate asked
"Yes." Vivio replied, still clinging to hedgehog and human alike.
"But, Nanoha-san and Sonic-san have to do something important; Vivio's selfishness is bothering them, this girl too, see?" Fate said, still in the kind tone, using her fingers to lift the bunny's arms up and down.
Vivio looked more sorry than clingy after what Fate said. Tears still in her eyes, but she wasn't crying at least.
"Vivio doesn't want to bother Sonic or Nanoha, does she?" Fate asked.
'Fate-san's pretty good at this' Subaru commented mentally
'Fate-san still has nieces and nephews...' Erio explained.
'She's raising her familiar too' Caro added.
'Oh, and she took care of you when you were younger too, right?' Teana asked mentally, causing both Erio and Caro to look down blushing.
"So be a good girl and wait, okay?" Fate asked and handed the plush bunny to Vivio.
"Arigatou, Vivio. I'll only be gone a little while" Nanoha said
"Yeah. We can play lots and lots more when we get back. Promise!" Sonic promised Vivio
-Helicopter-
-End of Chocobo theme, Insert: "Blue Fields" Final Fantasy VIII-
The helicopter for Fate, Nanoha, Sonic and Hayate departed for the Saint Church HQ.
"Sorry for all that." Nanoha apologized.
"She sure is clingy." Sonic commented.
"I found it quite funny.. Emerl seemed to enjoy teasing you three.. ah love" Hayate said
"We'd have Rouge to thank for that.. her personality includes teasing." Sonic noted.
"She's the bat with the big breasts right?" Hayate queried.
Sonic just stared at her, and deadpanned "Really...She's a master thief and an agent of GUN.. and you remember that detail?"
Hayate giggled "Gomen, couldn't resist that.. I was surprised your eyes weren't on them. They are in full view after all."
The hedgehog shrugged "Guess I never really noticed them.."
Hayate jotted down something in a notebook, it read: "Captains Log: Dense hedgehog, very dense.. Solution, more ecchi teasing, loosen him up for Nanoha and Fate. Also.. must convert that robot!". Course what she wrote went largely unnoticed by the others in the helicopter.
The girl got serious "But what are we going to do with her? We could have the church take care of her"
"No, when we get back I'll talk to her with Sonic, and think of something" Nanoha declined
"I see" Hayate said
"For now, I think she's just nervous because she has nobody to rely on." Nanoha said
Sonic added "At her age, it doesn't matter if she's artificial or not, she needs someone to rely on, to take care of her. Care for her, and to protect her"
Nanoha nodded, holding Sonic's hand.
-Riot Force 6 HQ-
Teana and Subaru were typing up reports from the incident the other day.
Teana finished hers real quick "There, all done."
Subaru was dumbstruck "Fast!"
"Don't be so slow! Give me some. I'll do it for you."
"Arigatou, I'm not good at writing reports" (who really is..)
"We agreed to do the Lightning's reports for them too Even so I'd rather do this than babysit" Teana spoke while she typed.
"Eh? I was having fun" Subaru kept typing, there she found images of Quattro, Dieci and Sein "Those are the ones from yesterday... with all the data that Alto recorded... They could do all that, and it was another type of energy they were using, not magic.. The fact that they have it inside of them.. could mean they are..." she was about to finish when she saw Teana's hand in front of her.. ready to flick... and Teana flicked her hard enough to make her fall off her chair... She just sat there. Looking confused with her hand on her forehead "T-tia?"
"Baka. Figuring out what these guys are isn't our job. It's the Long Arch staff and the Captains that make the decisions. What we're writing are reports to help them make those decisions. So get to work" Teana said
"Hai.." Subaru sat back down and continued to work.
"And even if what you thought was certain, it's nothing for you to worry about. So keep working"
"Arigatou.." Subaru said
"Urusai" Teana replied..
-Saint Church HQ-
-Insert: "Balamb Garden" Final Fantasy VIII-
Sonic, Nanoha, Fate and Hayate arrived at the Saint Church HQ and headed right up to Carim's office. A table was already set up with Chrono sitting. After announcing themselves to Carim, they went to the table.
"Admiral Chrono, It's been a while." Fate said as she sat down, Nanoha and Sonic followed suit, though they didn't say anything.
"Yes, Enforcer Fate." Chrono replied.
Carim giggled "Don't be stiff, both of you."
Sonic agreed "Hear hear.. Are you guys that official on family vacations too?"
Carim said "We're all friends here, so act like you normally would."
"Okay then, it's been a while Chrono-kun" Nanoha said
"Yeah, it's been like forever since we last talked.." Sonic added
"How have you been Onii-chan?" Fate asked.
Chrono had a bit of a blush "D-don't say that.. we're both adults now."
"That has nothing to do with being brother and sister." Fate argued with a smile.
Chrono sighed "You guys have so much spunk.. I on the other hand.. have a wife..."
"My condolences" Sonic said
"Now then... We need to discuss what happened the other day, as well as the full story behind the creation of Riot Force 6. And... what we do now..." Hayate got their attention
-Riot Force 6 Housing: Sonic, Nanoha and Fate's room-
Vivio finally was asleep in the bed. Erio and Caro spent quite some time playing with her. The nearby table had drawings and blocks on it.
"I'm glad she calmed down." Caro said
"Yeah." Erio agreed
"She's almost like a normal girl, isn't she?"
"Yeah." Erio said.. he thought to himself 'If she's a sample for an artificial mage project, then her intelligence and language are far too good. Artificially created people don't become like this. She probably has the memories of the person who was her original.'
"Erio-kun?" Caro dragged him out of his thoughts "Is something wrong?"
"No, it's nothing!" Erio replied with his hands up and a smile on his face.. While he smiled, he still thoguht 'Project F is continuing somewhere.'
-Saint Church HQ-
The curtains in Carim's office closed, dimming the room.
Chrono began his explanation "The reason given for the creation of Riot Force 6 was to deal with Relics and Lost Logia, as well as to experiment with the creation of small, highly independent forces. As you know the supporters of Riot Force 6 are myself, Knight Carim and the mother to Fate and me, as well as our superior, Lindy Harlaown. Furthermore the Three Legendary Admirals have unofficially backed us and have given us promises of cooperation." As he explained he pulled up pictures on floating display of the specific people he mentioned.
"And the reason for this is connected to my ability" Carim added when the pictures disappeared.. She pulled out from her pocket what looked like a deck of old papers wrapped neatly. The deck began to glow and the cards floated individually, revolving around Carim "My power, Prophetinschriften, can see the future from the minimum from half a year to a maximum of a few years away, and record it in the form of a poem. The alignment of the two moons' magical power has to be perfect or I can't do it, which means I can only create pages once a year. (Three of the cards flew towards Nanoha, Sonic and Fate) The prophecies are in Ancient Belkan, and are difficult passages whose meanings can be interpreted in different ways. They randomly record things that happen all around the world. If you include misinterpreted passages (The cards flew back to Carim), they're about as useful as a fairly accurate horoscope. In other words, it's not a very useful ability, but..."
Chrono added "The Saint Church, as well as the heads of the Dimensional Navigation Bureau, look through these. Putting whether or not to believe them aside, they are treated as a prediction from an expert."
"By the way, the Ground Forces hates them. Their de facto leader dislikes this kind of rare skill." Hayate said
"Lieutenant General Regius Gaiz, right?" Nanoha asked
"Meh, he's just jealous because he's nowhere near as badass as us" Sonic said a bit on the smug side
After a few chuckles and giggles from the others, Chrono continued "For the past few years, Knight Carim's predictions have, little by little, begun to record a certain incident." He turned to Carim.
Carim had one card float up to her, where she read aloud "In the land where ancient crystals and infinite greed gather and intertwine, the wings shall revive from the holy land, beneath the dead king. The dead shall dance, and the tower of law in the central lands shall burn to the ground, but, before this the ship of law that guards the many seas shall be torn apart."
"That..." Nanoha said.
"Don't tell me.." Fate added.
"Waaait for it.." Sonic said
"The destruction of the TSA Ground Forces HQ, along with the TSA system, will begin with the Lost Logia." Carim finished
"Aha! Thought as much... If I can be honest, the doomsday predictions usually don't pan out... But the same prediction for a few years.. no coincidence, it probably will happen unless we can stop it." Sonic said.
-Riot Force 6: Housing, Night time-
After the meeting, Nanoha, Sonic, Fate and Hayate arrived in the dorm areas.
"Well then, Nanoha-chan, Fate-chan, Sonic-kun" Hayate said
"That was plenty of information, arigatou, Hayate" Fate thanked her. She, Nanoha and Sonic began to walk back to their room.
"Ummm.." Hayate stopped them and approached "To me, you two (Nanoha and Fate) are the people who saved my life, my beloved friends, and you (to Sonic).. I may not have known you for as long as them.. but I still come to think of you as one of the best and most understanding friends I could ever meet.. I don't know what's going to happen to Riot Force 6, but..."
"You already told us that when we joined." Nanoha said
"But, Nanoha, Sonic and I chose to be here, knowing that. It's fine, ne Sonikku?" Fate asked
"Of Course! Don't Worry! I could never say no to a friend or the chance to help out anyone. It just isn't my style." Sonic agreed.
"Also, you and the Yagami Family were instrumental in getting me into the Instructors Squad, Fate's examinations, and getting Sonic and his friends into the TSAB." Nanoha said
"So now, we need to help you achieve your dreams." Fate said
"That's no good; we'll just keep helping each other forever." Hayate said
Nanoha giggled, while Sonic replied "Do I need a reason to help a friend?"
"That's what friends are." Fate added
Nanoha saluted "Captain Hayate, I don't think you're doing anything wrong right now."
Fate saluted "So, it's okay, just keep giving us orders with pride in your heart"
Sonic decided to salute as well "Don't give up on this."
"Yeah" Hayate nodded.
-Sonic, Nanoha and Fate's room-
Erio and Caro still tended to Vivio, Emerl finally grew tired and slept.
Caro read to Vivio while she and Erio were on the couch "And next he went to a baker in the next town."
The sliding door to the room opened "Tadaima" Nanoha announced.
Vivio, with those keen ears of hers, ran for the trio. Sonic gave her a hug since he barely was taller than her.. And after that Nanoha hoisted her up into a carrying hug.
"Tadaima, Vivio" Nanoha said
"Were you a good girl?" Sonic asked.
"She was a good girl" Caro said.
"Arigatou, Erio, Caro." Fate thanked them.
"It was nothing." Erio said.
-Hayate's office-
Hayate sat in her office looking through her desk, she found an old photo album that had pictures of her friends from Earth, including Alisa, Suzuka, the Wolkenrritter.. What brought more memories back was the last picture, of an old man with gray hair and a beard of matching color. He sat on a bench with two cats in his lap.
"Graham-Oji-san... You raised me... and they (Wolkenritter) protected me, and Nanoha and Fate saved me... (She had a flashback to when she was 9 and still handicapped, in the snow with an older teenage girl in a black sleeveless outfit with red eyes and silver hair.. and in the same memory the girl disappeared.) This is the life that she, the first Reinforce, left me.(she put the album back in the desk and walked towards the window) I don't want anyone else in the world to be sad or have regrets like that. I'll use my life for that purpose." She said with determination.
-End of Main Chapter-
-Omake: Vivio's amazing hijinks (episode 1)-
Young Vivio was walking about with her eyes on Nanoha, Sonic, and Fate.
"Sonic-papa's really nice." she thought out loud, Amy Rose happened to hear the word "Sonic and "papa" in the same sentence, within seconds she was in front of Vivio.
"Hey, Vivio, right? You say Sonic's your papa? Then who's your mama?" Amy was hoping the answer was her... yeah right..
"Nanoha-mama, and Fate-mama are Vivio's mamas" Vivio said innocently.
"What? But what does that make Amy?" Amy asked her
"Amy is Oba-chan" Vivio replied.
"What? Who you calling old?" Amy said a bit shocked.
"You really should stop chasing Sonic-papa. It looks creepy." Vivio said, still bearing her childish innocence as she walked off to meet with Sonic, Nanoha and Fate.
"That girl! The nerve! Calling me old like that. She's so lucky she's a kid.." Amy vented, "And how is it that Sonic's the father but I'm not the mother! I'm supposed to be his bride."
-Ending: "Hoshizora no Spica" Yukari Tamura-
-End of Chapter-
Author's notes: Okay first off some clearing up.. In the omake Vivio called Amy "Oba-chan" it actually means Aunt in japanese.. but Amy heard it as "Obaa-chan" which means Old lady or Grandma, in japanese. I also had Sonic introduce himself with "Ore wa" It's his japanese pronoun... And I bring you Vivio, oh she's in for some more fun.. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with her. On a far more serious note, I referenced A's and the Book of Darkness incident with the Original Reinforce with Hayate.. It is one of the saddest scenes in the anime, seeing Reinforce leave.. If you haven't and can't quite understand I urge you to watch the anime, that specific scene was extremely important. I also have a challnge, try to guess the references I made on this one. I'll give you a hint, it's from an old TV show.. This is just the tip of the iceberg with the fun I can have with her. And I'm so excited that this is the 20th chapter! Wooo!
