A/N – Ahh! Sorry that it's taken so long to update! I've been completely focused on writing another fanfic which is still not finished, and I entered the Science Fair at my school which you never got in Scotland. Unbelievably, I got chosen for the top 4 for grades 7-9! So now I'm going to the regionals! Anyways, here's what you've been waiting for!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Lucky Star or Nanoha StrikerS!

This Is Where The World Ends
Kagami struggled to get air into her lungs, each breath bringing a fresh, sharp pain. Opening one eye, she looked up. Sakuya was panting, exhausted from torturing Kagami; but she was still wearing an evil smirk.
'It doesn't hurt….it doesn't…' Kagami thought to herself over and over. A lone tear streaked down her face.
'They're not coming to save me, are they? They would have been here by now. I thought I could trust them; I thought I could trust Konata; I thought I could trust Fate-san.'
Kagami began to shake. Takeo smiled, walking up to Kagami.
"Oh, Kagami-san, your friends are here," he said. Kagami gasped and looked up, ignoring the pain. Not too far away from her stood all of the mages.
"Konata! Tsukasa!" she yelled happily.
"You came to save me!" she screamed again, trying to break free from the bind which held her.
"Save you? Ha! Why would we save you?" Fate coldly laughed. Kagami froze.
"W-What…?" Kagami whispered out in disbelief. She looked at the rest of the mages. They were all looked at her with disgust, maybe a trace of…hatred? Tsukasa walked up to her twin and glared at her.
"Good-bye onee-chan."
Konata appeared beside Tsukasa and spat at Kagami,
"I have waited for this moment for so long. I hope you suffer unbearable pain."
"Konata?" Kagami asked mindlessly, the light leaving her eyes.
"I hate you," Konata finished.
"All of us do!" Tsukasa yelled.
'I-It's not true…they don't hate me…they can't…can they?' Kagami looked into the eyes of the mages; there was no kindness in them, only grey darkness. Silence followed for only a second before Kagami felt power burst from her body. She screamed throwing her head back as a light flew out from her chest, radiating into the sky. The sky darkened.
'Say good-bye,' a voice said to Kagami.
"Yes…Yes! Finally, the ultimate power!" Takeo yelled in triumph.

Caro let out a little shriek when she and the other mages were suddenly enveloped in darkness.
"What happened?" Erio asked as they all slowed to a stop.
"I don't know, but I bet this has to do with Takeo," Subaru replied.
"We have to get there quickly, something does not feel right at all," Fate said.
"Something is happening to Kagami," Konata said, a faraway look in her eyes.
"…Probably," Nanoha agreed sadly. Then without waiting any longer, as if on a silent que, the mages set off again. Their speed increased by double, desperate to find their friend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The binds around Kagami disintegrated, the light enveloping them. The ashes of the binds fell, caught by the wind which carried them of into the blood black sky. Kagami shrieked in pain when pain again shot through her back. A horrible fleshy sound could be heard. White stained with red began to protrude from her back. As more of it began to protrude from each side of her back, Takeo and Kagami both realised what they were; wings. Gradually more and more of the wing were revealed. All of the wings appeared, the flesh where they had ripped through to come out quickly healing, leaving no scar behind.
Drip…Drip…Drip
Blood fell off of the feathers, falling onto the ground. But there was something strange about the blood; it slightly sparkled. Her blood was metallic red. Takeo stared in amazement at Kagami, not quite believing what was happening, but delighted all the same. Taking a step towards Kagami, Takeo reached out his hand. Kagami snapped her head towards Takeo, sensing him, not being able to control her body. She shrieked her still lifeless eyes changing to the colour of red. A black arrow with multiple spear heads appeared and shot straight through Takeo's forearm. He let out a startled choke, his angry yet surprised. The arrow had pierced straight through his barrier and his arm. Clutching his arm, he hissed and retreated away from Kagami who seemed to lost interest in Takeo. A band of dark wrapped itself around Kagami, almost violently. Seconds later it dissipated, revealing Kagami in an outfit. It was a small black and red dress, ribbons coming out of the top from the center. One boot was torn down the middle, the other still intact, both having a ribbon on the front. The skirt part of the dress was slightly damaged, the red hem slightly ripping. Kagami grabbed the staff which appeared at her side.
"Angelus," Kagami said verifying her device, her voice stone cold.
"Here, my mistress," it replied. Kagami smirked.
"Are you ready?" she asked.
"Yes."
Connecting with her device, Kagami flew high into the sky on her now black wings. She quickly dived when she sensed a shot coming towards her. A bolt of electricity flew right past her. Takeo grunted in frustration, he was so sure that he would hit her. He had no time to react before Kagami appeared behind him. A powerful kick to his spine sent him flying off of the school building, smashing into the stage. Splinters flew; some bigger than chairs. Groaning in pain, Takeo forced himself up, but immediately fell back down. His whole body felt numb.
'W-Who is she exactly?! I'm down, in one kick…'
He coughed his chest and back aching with each spasm. Blood splattered on the debris as it flew from Takeo's mouth. He stared up at the seemingly never ending dark sky. His vision began to blur, a figure appeared before him. It grunted, almost as if disgusted. A foot jabbed him in the ribs releasing another sharper, newer pain. He yelled.
"Kagami!" Konata's voice called out of nowhere. Kagami instantly raised her head, her eyes wide open, whether in happiness or anger Takeo could not tell.
"Kagami-san! Are you okay? Where's Takeo?" Shugo's voice yelled out desperately, but with relief. No later than 30 seconds later did the group of mages appear. They all stared in shock at Kagami and Takeo. Takeo was lying, dying even on the ground surrounded by splintered and bloodied debris. But what shocked them the most was Kagami. Her eyes were blood red, her outfit was black, red, torn and to say the least it looked evil.
"O-Onee-chan, y-y-you have wings?" Tsukasa asked her twin in disbelief. Everyone else's attention too went to the death black wings. Kagami simply stared at them expressionless.
'Something's not right with Kagami,' Konata said to the other mages. They all agreed.
"We've come to save you Kagami-sempai," Tiana said. Kagami seemed to smile.
"Kagami-sempai?" Tiana asked confused as to why the girl had smiled.
"Are all of you my friends?" Kagami suddenly asked. Everyone stared at her, shocked and confused.
"Kagamin, what are you talking about?" Konata asked, "Of course we are!"
"She's right one-chan! We're all your friends!" Tsukasa exclaimed. Soon Fate and Nanoha joined Konata and Tsukasa, the rest joining in. Kagami laughed, it was a cold, evil laugh.
"Do you really think that I'm going to believe you after what you did to me?!" Kagami screamed. Wasting no time, she fired at them, all shots hitting. Barriers shattered leaving the mages vulnerable.
"You hate me, I hate you. It all works out doesn't it?" Kagami commented drifting back off into the sky.
"But you," she said pointing at Konata, "I hate you the most."
Konata stared up in disbelief at Kagami, the breath leaving her lungs.
"You never understood, and you never will."
Konata was completely dazed at what her Kagami, her best friend and secret love was saying to her. Kagami's hair suddenly dyed black as if in response to her emotions.
"This is where the world ends."
