Disclaimer: there might be elements from other stories be seen in this story. That will be because I have most likely read those stories at one time and they have stuck into my head and come forward while writing this. I do not own these or the characters of Lord of the rings or Magical girl lyrical Nanoha.

Thanks for the follow Demonic Phoenix.

Review answers:

Thinkerbell: the reason that both the name for the grown up reinforce and the small one is used is because where Hayate and her family are, the grown up Reinforce is present. While Nanoha and the others don't know that the grown up reinforce is present, they still think that they have to look for the little one. When both groups meet this will become clear to them.

For talking:

"Normal": elvish

"Italic": Japanese

'Normal': thinking

During the day the group road on through the woods, where they could see animals running by as they went on. Near mid-day they stopped for lunch and ate fruit and lembras. This time was also used for a brief break to stretch the bones. It was at this time that Reinforce gave the book back to Thanguriel, this caused some raised eyebrows because she hugged the book. When they left Elladan asked "Than, let me put your book in the saddleback so that you won't lose it. Alright, I will be careful with it as I can see that it is important to you"

"Yes, please. That will be easier during the ride because I don't' have to hold the book and am free to grab the manes of your horse" Thanguriel answered and after that Elladan put the book in his saddleback carefully. During this time the camp that was set up for lunch was broken down so that they could get back on the horses and towards Imladris.

Near dark the group arrived close to the border of Imladris where they slowed down. Elladan pulled up the hood of Thanguriels cloak which caused Thanguriel to look around and look her brother questioning in the eyes. "We want surprise ada with your return so we don't want the guards to see your face and hair as of yet" Elladan explained.


Near the border a group of guards was scouting the border and because of the alert that was given during their briefing they paid extreme attention to everything that happened at the border. It was then that they saw a group of riders coming towards the border. The leader of the group signaled for his men to be ready and watch the riders. A short while later they could clearly see that the group was moving towards them and at that time they also could see the group members. Not long after that the group was close enough for the group of riders to hear him so the leader decided to call "Good evening my lords, why are you still traveling while it would be safer for you to wait for the sun to rise again"

"Good evening to young one, we didn't think at a problem as we are close to Imladris and wanted to arrive there as soon as possible" Mithrandir said as he saw that the guards made their way towards them. In the distance he could see that the relieve for the guards was coming. "We could travel back together as your relieve is coming as we speak"

"Alright my lord, that would be nice as during the night wolves have been appearing since last evening" the leader said and went to tell their relieve what had happened. Afterwards he and the other guards took their horses who were waiting for them in a clearing. It took around half an hour for everyone to be on the way to Imladris once again.

"My lord Elladan who do you have there before you on your horse?" One of the guards asked.

"That will be explained later, mellon nin" Glorfindel said.


At the Midchildan Ground Headquarters:

In the morning when the first meeting of investigation team each member of the team showed up in the conference room. There were confused glances around the table when Chrono walked in and sat down at the head of the table.

"Good morning everyone. I would like to explain to you why you have been gathered here at such a short notice. 2nd commander Yagami has disappeared together with Reinforce zwei, Signum, Shamal, Vita and Zafira. From what Agito remembers as the only member of the family to not have disappeared, there was a bright white light which felt extremely powerful as she said. This is also the reason why there are powerful mages among us who have little experience with investigations. We have been tasked with finding the abductor and bringing the commander and her family safely back home" Chrono said and saw that everyone around the table had a serious expression on their face.

"Has there been any news from the commanders house as to the identity of the unsup? Chrono asked.

"We had a search team search the house after we found Agito and saw to it that the necklace commander Yagami had asked Yuuno to research as she found a letter that said that it was something that her biological parents left on her before she was found by her parents, was put in a bag for further investigation. I think this is too much of a coincidence for her to have found it and then to disappear, for it to have nothing to do with her disappearance. Also we had a group measure the rank of the unsup, only for them to not be able to struggle with the measuring. In the end they guessed it at SSS, but were not sure as the equipment they used to measure from time to time overshot the ranking scale" Teana explained.

"Then that means that we don't know how strong the unsup is. But I think we should let the necklace be studied as to find out where it came from so that we have a general idea where we have to search for the commander" Fate said.

"Yes, I agree with you Fate, we should do so. Shario, work together with Yuuno to find out the place of origin of the necklace. Oh and Captain, you could bring your daughter with you as I think this could take a sometime to figure it all out and because she is applying to be a member of the bureau, I think it would be good experience for her to see everything happen. Make sure she knows she is not to go in the field as she is not a member of the investigation team, she can only observe. Alright everyone let us start working and bringing the commander back" Chrono said.

"I will do so and thank you for letting her come along. I would not be comfterble for her to be alone for a long time and no one to watch over her" Nanoha said and saw that Chrono smiled at her.

"One last thing, we will work from a warship as we might have to go to other planets or move over long distances to the location" Chrono said.

Afterwards everyone got to work on hearing any potential witnesses and doing other work that could help them find the commander.
