Finally finished the exams!:D Now to more backlog-breaking!
@Aaron:
Don't you know? Being outnumbered is a key factor for the eventual amounts of ownage the allies will deliver! It is what all protagonists strive for! :D :heh:
Well, what with the Numbers being upgraded, and the Doctor having an Ace-level combatant on his side, that's a problem, yes. But I'll find ways to even out the equation.
Another Dendrobium Cannon, hm? Well, as said, "The bigger the better". I can only imagine what destructive power Dieci would have if she was upgraded have a cannon of that standard...:uhoh: Just be thankful it isn't the god-like Wing Zero cannon. Now that is a monster. :heh:
Heh, the Gate of Babylon works well when applied to Cinque, does it not? :heh: As for Caladbolg...I have no idea what I might use its design for. Further weapons in her arsenal? :eyespin:
And speaking of Gilgamesh, I can somehow picture Nove snapping and doing this:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/af/Enuma_Elish.JPG
Nove: ENUMA ELISH!!
Right, I gotta stop this now. :heh:
And, to Lowe, it matters not- the bigger the bang, the swifter the job, right? There's uncountable amounts of weapons in the Vault last time I checked on Gate of Babylon...:D
1) Understood.
2) DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!!!:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
Wala, kuripot ako eh :p:p:p
Bodyguards huh? So S&W would be running along with Aurion then. How long's this mission's gonna last... but first, what is the mission anyway? :heh::D
I'm gonna love this :D
I'll start brainstorming about the details.:D I'll link this to some investigations regarding the Choukijin antagonists.
Congratulations on the 8k get, Kha!:D:D:D

@Lowe, Kha and Aaron:
Well, you know, Nove's a tad too temperamental, and when and if she snaps...:uhoh:
So I think Enuma is an apt choice, so sue me. :heh:
And just a brief note, that'd be Enkidu with the chains, not Enuma Elish, which is a blade...and...blade, gauntlet...eh, close enough.
Or...would you rather I used this?

Hmm... I realized I haven't exactly written anything new nor posted in a while...
*looks around*
Looks like I better prep something up for 8k. :p
Tk3997, I see your point, and I agree my emphasis on the living quarters may have been excessive (I get very irritated when I see soldiers/policemen having what I consider to be unnecessarily luxuries in-camp. Adequate comfort is one thing, taking it too far is another).
I would like to say though that what I said is to make them look more in line with military/law-enforcer's life. Besides the living quarters, you've also mentioned the lack of organisation, discipline and etc in RF6, which I also think should be reinforced. Right now imho RF6 looks more like a holiday training camp for kids and teenagers, and not combat unit. The only one that moderately look like her role would be Vita.
In my opinion, the weakness was not the lack of organization and discipline, but rather the fact that RF6's existence and purpose as a possible one-man-stand task force against unknown odds were like... not drilled into them. They were pampered and not drilled in any sense of urgency.
Yes, they went through severe training, but that's about it. The only ones who were really prepared beforehand and even they themselves did a shitty job of it were the older cast. Only the Aces understood their role of being a Special-Ops, while the weaker, but still important members of RF6, the Forwards got the 'well, just be careful' kind of urgency.
But before you click on that, I must warn you, even at 80% completion, it's Bluecheesium power must not be estimated... :uhoh:
Urgh... powerful indeed.
Finally...so this is the power of der Kleriker. :uhoh:
Ehh, someone once told me that this place is the pit of madness (and Kha isn't really helping to alleviate that image :heh:), and that I'd be safer staying away from here.
Now that I'm in, I should say that this pit looks a bit more bottomless than those of Hell :p.
Btw, can anyone please enlighten me on how things are done here? :heh: If I'm to input my own characters here, am I supposed to keep to the OC fanon timeline, or can I create my own based on Nighty's official timeline? I have some already in mind that may or may not conform with the OC timeline Kha has provided.
(I humbly confess I have not yet undertake the daunting task of going through nearly 400 pages of supposed madness :heh:.)
Nonsense. It's not a pit of madness, it's an abyss of endlessness.
True, it's hard to eat up everything, but just read on slowly and you'll see why this place had lasted so long. Everytime things looked like it could turn stale, new dimensions were added, storylines improved, and we eat up the cheese like never before.
Starting from characters, we've developed histories, timelines, factions, universes... and we're damn proud of it. :D
And there is no rule. Just limit the h4xx.
Coaching? Don't you mean training? Coaching makes it sound like we are talking about a soccer team. :heh:
BUT! BUT! COACH!
http://www.gunbuster.net/Visual/Chars/coachie_small.gif
Oh right, you've probably never watched Gunbuster. :heh:
You know what I realized? When the Nanoha OC-thread has surpassed the Nanoha Image thread, the Nanoha OC-thread will not just be the largest thread on the Nanoha forums, it will be the largest thread on the entire Animesuki forums! :eek:
We need a kiriban for this! Something! Anything!
Speaking of which, I wonder if there's any brave soul out there willing to compile and see how much bluecheese had been piled up...
I wonder if there's over 1, 000, 000 words of profile/stories, etc now... :cool:
I was joking about it... It's because Kha Aznable of the Twist's Fate timeline is a "sort of" older brother of the Numbers, packed full of equipment just because Scagletti wanted to see how far Kha could go, and Kha wanted to become stronger for more noble reasons. And in that timeline, Kha hi-jacked a top-secret TSAB Knight Armor that took the form of ***dam Wing Ver.Ka. Now that armor was incomplete, but when completed... Let's just say it has 2 Nuclear Barrels instead of one... :uhoh:
No need; in CrosyS, and many other scenarios, shooting Caladbolg II is Sophia's standard Weapon Summon because its so cheap. Uses Falchions too. She's a Archer Weapon Summoner after all. :uhoh:
Hmm... Where is that image...? I had it somewhere... The one of Kluize and all the Devices being flung out... Anyone seen it? It supposed to be in this thread or the image thread somewhere... :heh:
How about...
the official release of
CODEX: DAEMONJAEGER
:uhoh:
:bow::bow::bow::bow:
When we reach the pinnacle, everything comes back to its beginning...
Once upon a time, everything began... it was the beginning of Der Kleriker.
And soon, people flocked as it grew...
We have enough characters and materials to have a Legend of Magical Heroes anime. :cool:
Finally finished the exams!:D Now to more backlog-breaking!

Doesn't matter. I always have some piece or so everytime the barrier's broken. It's just it'll be slower this time. :p
Technically, I've already finished the Aurion/Saga talk piece... and some things are progressing relatively well... ;)
Speaking of which, I still need to finish that thing selkirk showed.
His power? He's not even done yet :eek::eek::eek::uhoh:
But 80%, right? That should be good enough of a gauge.
Plus since it's like a compilation OVA of Der Kleriker Kronikles, those who had been around from the beginning oh his birth knows a lot of details already.
Plus, it'd make for a good template, should I ever find the need to fill in voids in profiles I find lacking... :D
Such a project would reek of so much EPICSIUM that it could fill and expand that void in the universe!!!!! :eek::heh::heh:
Too bad there's no Reinhart equivalent, if Kha's going to be Yang-Wen Li. :(
Or...maybe...Kluize!? :eek:

In a day or 2. I still need to check on some things too.

Maybe we should introduce a Lost Logia instead...
I mean, Cradle of the Saint King? If a Cradle is already that huge... imagine the King's first place of worship/church/cathedral... :D
Not to mention how is it able to draw magical powers from Mid-childa's... moon...
Vivio: Ahh~~ That is my... Cathedral...

Garcadia! The Cathedral of the Saint King! :eek:
*runs from Exa Core Drill*
You know.. if that was truly Vivio's cathedral, alot of us wouldn't have so many complaints :D
Is there another name for the Cathedral Terra? Although I wouldn't be surprised if in ep23 it's been renamed to XX-Gurren, or Gurren-XX :D
ALthough it wouldn't be fun with that as Vivio's cathedral without massive hotblood :p

No harm intended, I was just having fun, especially that Sakura sequence was completely spoilerific. :heh:
My entire 21ste each have Servant refs (Sophia is the combined worth of 2 Servants and 1 Mage) that's why they all got it in them.
Rider is Lutecia's mama, I hope. Lancer is well... Nanoha "Lancer" Takamichi. :uhoh:
Artei's fighting style is that of an Assassin, but has yet to learn the Noble Illusion "Zabaniya", as that Noble Illusion is one used by the evil and now-outlawed Ecclesarchy, eliminating almost all possibilities to learn that Noble Illusion. The original trumps the fake this round, as always. :D
And I'd prefer Hei to the "Old Man of the Mountain"... :heh:
Dream_Traveller
2007-08-28, 07:30
Oh? Interesting with the servant refs, and even more so that Zabaniya is outlawed...I wonder what methods Artei will use, if any, to know of it fully...:uhoh:
Heh. "Old Man of the Mountain", yes...his design is tempting, but, as you stated, Hei's is better. :D :heh:
On a side note, I have gotten an idea for an upgrade to Tre which borders on...rather gargantuan...stuff.
Like so:
http://www.adeptsys.com/chrysalis/Media/weapons/powerfist.gif
You can't see the fist's other side, obviously, but you should get a clear idea of how large it is. :heh:
@ Dream Traveller..
:twitch: Tre with a power fist....:twitch:
Does not Compute :eyespin::eyespin:
Dream_Traveller
2007-08-28, 07:36
Eh~, I've made so many non-computable things...:eyespin:
It is an interesting concept, though...and knowing Tre's strength, she could probably use one more than a tad efficiently. :heh:

I can't read anything extensive (particularly the second-half :heh:) for the remaining of the weekdays cause... I have a BIG (And I REALLY mean big) report to write :heh:
But, I'll try to pop in for some fun once in awhile ;)
(Finally gotten something off my chest in the episode thread... :D)
@DT: Beat me to it. :heh:
Artei has enough on his side. Like his inspiration, Artei's fighting style is an amalgamation of several famous non-Belka warriors, namely Japanese swordsmen...
Kaze no Kise! Amakikiero Herameki! Tsubame Gaeshi! Gakutenou! ... Gakutenou?!
But it just wastes her Initiative, since power fist mean that you always strike last....
:dots: Unless you want to give her a banshee mask as well.....:heh: Wait, do they still work the same?
@ Kha... errr what are you talking about?? :heh:
Dream_Traveller
2007-08-28, 07:53
Recognized a few of those phrases, Kha...the 3rd especially. :)
Let's see what's on my list of "Upgrades of H4xx"-
*Tre- Powerfist.
*Cinque- Foot long knives (not h4xx) resembling scimitars (still not h4xx)...or, in my mind, Caladbolg II/ Kanshou & Bakuya. (H4XX)
:heh:
* Sein: Octocamo.
* Otto: Only a concept, but who hasn't considered using these?
http://www.mahq.net/Mecha/gundam/xastray/lineart/ymf-x000a-dsystem.jpg
* Nove: Either "HEAVEN AND HELL!" or Drill Knuckles. :heh:
* Dieci: Dendrobium Cannon. :uhoh:
* Dido...
http://www.geocities.com/erik_the_jedi/double.jpg
Imagine her wielding two o' those. :D
I'm trying to think of something for Sette...and after she's done, that leaves Uno, Due, Quattro and Uendi, ultimately the hardest to upgrade, in a sense.
* Dido...
http://www.geocities.com/erik_the_jedi/double.jpg
Imagine her wielding two o' those. :D
Two dual-bladed lightsabers? How the hell would one wield that without cutting off ones limbs? :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:

Two dual-bladed lightsabers? How the hell would one wield that without cutting off ones limbs? :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
[Off-Topic]
Nah, some practice and it can be mastered :uhoh:
Just like that Sith apprentice in the Episode 1 or Star Wars :heh:
Bah...not being home sucks...3 hours until I go back to my evil lair :uhoh:
[/Off-Topic]
Ahhhh~ so many good ideas (read: sketches) yet to be done, and so little time :heh:
Thinking in doing a Koji x Maren sketch, and maybe with Yui too :D
But first I'll have to do Chaos' CARONO request :D And I'm sooo enjoying it. :D

Bollocks, Darth Maul only had one dual bladed lightsaber, which is perfectly doable. Two double blade lightsabers, however... results in loss of limbs. :heh:

Wait.
Actually it's rather odd, now that I review it. But Dido is a cyborg- better handling of weapons, etc...a Jedi Master of sorts. Lame excuse end. :heh:
Maybe something for Due here:

Oh, TWO double blade lightsabers...that's really dangerous :heh:

Hmm, Keroko is pretty much like Nanoha (personality and behavior), right?
Anyways, Yui-chan is (really) friendly towards any of RF6 CC cast.
I'd say, she'd call Keroko either Keroko-nee, Kero-chan or Kero-nee :heh:

@DT: Beat me to it. :heh:
Artei has enough on his side. Like his inspiration, Artei's fighting style is an amalgamation of several famous non-Belka warriors, namely Japanese swordsmen...
Kaze no Kise! Amakikiero Herameki! Tsubame Gaeshi! Gakutenou! ... Gakutenou?!
I know these names...I think.
Kaze no Kizu - Inuyasha
Tsubame Gaeshi - Assassin from Fate-Stay Night
Gakutenou!...Gakutenou?! - I believe that Midori from...My Otome? or is it My Hime?
The Amakikiero Herameki...sounds familiar but I don't know where...
Huh...you need originals. Like
Hyakuretsu Tora Zan! (One Hundred Strike Tiger Slash!)
Sho Ku Dan! (Rising Wind Shot)
Or soemthing like that ^^;

Aurion: Uhm... This is my niece, Black Selena :)
Mai: ... :eyebrow:
Dozo.
Aurion: As you can see she's incredibly shy, but to imagine that she went all this way here to meet her beloved father, who manages this place. And due to his busy schedule she has not seen him for a long time. Would you dare rob her of that chance to be together with her dear father? :(
Secretary: ... ehm... I'll see to it right away sir. :heh:
Mai: ...
:eyebrow:
Aurion's gonna get kicked at the shin for that...:heh::heh::uhoh:
In a day or 2. I still need to check on some things too.
Okay.:)

Maybe we should introduce a Lost Logia instead...
I mean, Cradle of the Saint King? If a Cradle is already that huge... imagine the King's first place of worship/church/cathedral... :D
Not to mention how is it able to draw magical powers from Mid-childa's... moon...
Vivio: Ahh~~ That is my... Cathedral...

*thrown away spinning*
I still can't figure him out :heh::upset:
Oh? Interesting with the servant refs, and even more so that Zabaniya is outlawed...I wonder what methods Artei will use, if any, to know of it fully...:uhoh:
Heh. "Old Man of the Mountain", yes...his design is tempting, but, as you stated, Hei's is better. :D :heh:
On a side note, I have gotten an idea for an upgrade to Tre which borders on...rather gargantuan...stuff.
Like so:
http://www.adeptsys.com/chrysalis/Media/weapons/powerfist.gif
You can't see the fist's other side, obviously, but you should get a clear idea of how large it is. :heh:
Power Fists for Tre? Doesn't sound like a bad idea, although it'll look... awkward :heh:
Recognized a few of those phrases, Kha...the 3rd especially. :)
Let's see what's on my list of "Upgrades of H4xx"-
*Tre- Powerfist.
*Cinque- Foot long knives (not h4xx) resembling scimitars (still not h4xx)...or, in my mind, Caladbolg II/ Kanshou & Bakuya. (H4XX)
:heh:
* Sein: Octocamo.
* Otto: Only a concept, but who hasn't considered using these?
http://www.mahq.net/Mecha/gundam/xastray/lineart/ymf-x000a-dsystem.jpg
* Nove: Either "HEAVEN AND HELL!" or Drill Knuckles. :heh:
* Dieci: Dendrobium Cannon. :uhoh:
* Dido...
http://www.geocities.com/erik_the_jedi/double.jpg
Imagine her wielding two o' those. :D
I'm trying to think of something for Sette...and after she's done, that leaves Uno, Due, Quattro and Uendi, ultimately the hardest to upgrade, in a sense.
Two Bladed Lightsabers for Dido, and DRAGOONS for Otto? :twitch:
I have an unusual idea for Sette though... for those who know GGG, "Silver Moon" :D
*scrounges images*
Two dual-bladed lightsabers? How the hell would one wield that without cutting off ones limbs? :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
Just hope that you're 1337 enough to use them? :D

lol, on that one random RP forum, and the one I'm working on. Hayate Kanzaki is a normal Class S Enforcer. Not moving up the ranks or anything just doing his job. Though as he is overly serious half the time, I gave him a fiance/wife. Originally he had one Intelligent Device equipped with a Belka Cartridge System. Though some might argue it's an Arm Device due to it's three blade forms. Though since I don't know how long a mage can actually fight in a battle, my character's been through some pretty long ones. Anyway~~~~I'm trying to keep him limited, might put some capability limiters on him in the future if I felt like it.
Always looking around for potential peeps for the MSLN RP...if I ever get it finished. So complicated. I got profile templates for TSAB members, Civilians mages and even normal Civilian/Other Original Characters.
Hmmm...-stares at everyone else- I wonder how high other people's MSLN OCs are like.
@ Kha... errr what are you talking about?? :heh:DaiStahlMut is Kha's Gattai mecha (which recently gained a Gurren head :p). Kor Fuzion is him "putting the spin on and screwing it into" Fate, to use GL's delightful terminology. :D

My friend, even in here S class is anything BUT normal :uhoh::heh: Otherwise though, can't see much wrong with your OC. :)
As for range, most OC's here fall around the B - AAA range, with smatterings of low end D's and high-ranking SSS's, which exist due to special constraints. :heh:

Well, I've decided to show upgrades for those aren't yet upgraded.
For Sette, pincers might be the best way to go around it. A first example I found was the pincers on this...thing:
http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/miniatures/bycompany/hobbyproducts/dairecoon_cmdr.jpg
I thought those were a tad...large, to say the least. I could size them down, sure, but I sought other alternatives. The one I came across was from none other than...
http://www.tam-r.com/gazou/hguc/hguc350/hguc_acguy.jpg
I've been causing way~ too much possible H4xx recently. :heh:
Note the pincer in Acguy's right hand. It also has a cannon under the blades. Implementing that into Sette's new toys won't be so bad...right? :uhoh:
Right?
:heh:
And, for Uendi, not much was really changed about her, except her board might look like the one this famous character has, though altered to fit the cannon in:
http://www.superherotimes.com/newsarchive/SilverSurfermain.jpg
Also, as a supplementary weapon, an energy beam will be placed underneath the board at its tip to serve as a ramming implement.
That only leaves Uno and Quattro. The former, being, as her IS states, "flawless", might not need an upgrade after all. That just has Quattro remaining...and who knows what she would do with add-ons. :uhoh:

Always looking around for potential peeps for the MSLN RP...if I ever get it finished. So complicated. I got profile templates for TSAB members, Civilians mages and even normal Civilian/Other Original Characters.
Hmmm...-stares at everyone else- I wonder how high other people's MSLN OCs are like.
Well that's not too bad..
Currently I have an S-, 2 AAA+, 1 AAA-, 2 AA+, 1 AA, 1 AA-, 2 A, 1 B+, and 1 B-, in 2 different squads (Weavers, Blades)
:dots: Actually, My force potential seems to have gotten really, really damm big without me noticing... And this isn't even counting the 2nd squad of the 85th that I haven't written yet... OOH SH*T....:heh:
*ducks for cover in case the moddership flys over...*:heh:
Now THAT's a problem.:uhoh:
Maybe I could make Hayate spill the beans on how Aurion 'breaked' her defenses to the other Aces and the Knights in RevivalS and have Aurion run for his life for two days...:eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:
And it's a good thing that Mai is reasonable.:heh: But it's not like anybody else would know.:heh:
This I'd like to see...
Signum: That's it Aurion... LAEVATEIN!!!
Vita: YOU'RE DEAD!!!!!!! EISEN!!!
Graf Eisen/Laevatein: EXPLOSION!!!
:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
Well, Mai's reasonable... to a certain extent anyway :heh: Still, she'll join in with Signum, Vita and other Hayate Avengers for two days :uhoh:
That scene with Aurion running is GOLD!!
LOL :D :D :D :D Things are never dull with Aurion around..
Well, I've decided to show upgrades for those aren't yet upgraded.
For Sette, pincers might be the best way to go around it. A first example I found was the pincers on this...thing:
http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/miniatures/bycompany/hobbyproducts/dairecoon_cmdr.jpg
I thought those were a tad...large, to say the least. I could size them down, sure, but I sought other alternatives. The one I came across was from none other than...
http://www.tam-r.com/gazou/hguc/hguc350/hguc_acguy.jpg
I've been causing way~ too much possible H4xx recently. :heh:
Note the pincer in Acguy's right hand. It also has a cannon under the blades. Implementing that into Sette's new toys won't be so bad...right? :uhoh:
Right?
:heh:
And, for Uendi, not much was really changed about her, except her board might look like the one this famous character has, though altered to fit the cannon in:
http://www.superherotimes.com/newsarchive/SilverSurfermain.jpg
Also, as a supplementary weapon, an energy beam will be placed underneath the board at its tip to serve as a ramming implement.
That only leaves Uno and Quattro. The former, being, as her IS states, "flawless", might not need an upgrade after all. That just has Quattro remaining...and who knows what she would do with add-ons. :uhoh:Do you have any idea what you are quoting, especially with the first one? :uhoh: And nice to see Acguy gets some love, after I've spent my entire life laughing at its silly design. :D
:twitch::twitch: Did you have to phrase it like that...............:twitch: :twitch: :twitch: :twitch: :twitch:
AHHH GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!!!
:frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:
URRROHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *levels Daedra* Time for you to DIE!!!!!
:heh:What? That's just Leeron describing Gattai with spiral power, no? :D
Like this?
Right now, I am being chased by several ladies; and attractive ones at that.
“Divine… BUSTER!!!”
WHICH should be fine by itself, if it weren’t for the fact that they are all magic-users…
“Haken Saber!”
WITH their Barrier Jackets activated…
“Take this!”
WITH their weapons drawn…
“HAAAAH!”
WITH the obvious intent of landing me in the hospital for months…
“URYAAAAAAH!!!”
Sigh… WHY do the most attractive women have to be the most dangerous ones?!?!
“DAMN YOU!!!! EAT HAMMER, BASTARD!!!”

-------------
Hayate grabs his blue triangle pendant and yells out.
"Arataka, Set up!"
"Katana Form, Set Up."
In a flash of blue magical light, and a rather short transformation sequence. Hayate appears in his Barrier Jacket as he points his katana at the one known as Wibbles.
"You there, why are you harrassing my user? You are hereby under arrest for attempting to coerce a normal civilian into evil activities. Lower your weapons and explain yourself. If you concide to these terms you are allowed to represent yourself in court."
Hayate concentrated his eyes on the one known as Wibbles.
"Lightning Lancer Set. Fire On Ready."

@LoweGear: Finally, welcome back.:D I'd like to talk about those scenarios about S&W setting Aurion up with a girl.:D I'm planning on the female to be an assassin tasked to kill Aurion. Lotsa Rush Hour style running involved.:D
AURION+WOMAN = RABU-RABU?!
DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!! DOES NOT- <headshot>
@Aaron: I quoted it once, and I'll quote it again, from the WH40K codex: Clerics "can only not feel irrational anger, hate and bitterness". So attraction wise... Kha can feel it, but like the other Clerics he doesn't chase skirts because each feels its appropiate to over-indulge in such worldly pleasures.
And that the more you chase, the worse things get... ^_^;

I did. I said that the main church should have a kindergarten, while in the town, New Antioch, where the Church is at, there is a fully-fledged orphanage run by the church. But I must tell you that all this is pure speculation and therefore I am not responsible for any loss from Ion Canon fire. :heh:

CELEBRATIONS!
And such. :D
@Gale: Damn, man. I just hope your hard drives can hang on. I hope the problem is resolved soon. :)
Now, time for a scene involving "good" V. It's about time we saw him again. Be warned though...as mentioned in one of his earlier snippets, he noted that he criticized Hayate and the higher ups...well, here's how he did so after the Ep 17 incident, and in a rather furious fashion.
It had been quite some time since the beleaguered unit that was Riot Force Six shifted their post to the Asura, one of the oldest of the Bureau's vessels.
Not much had been said. Most of the Forwards were silent, a deathly and disturbing pall of quietness casting itself over the interior of the ship, and Nanoha and Fate had been and still were conversing with Hayate about preparations to be made to counter the situation.
As the Lightning and Stars teams sat wordlessly, save for inaudible chatter amongst Vita and Signum, the doors at the other end of the bridge slid open. Footsteps echoed throughout the room and the other people present turned their heads towards the new arrival. It was V, who was moving with fast paces, almost threateningly, towards the trio of Aces.
"Ah, V!"
That was a cry from Nanoha. He chose not to produce a vocal response, instead only nodding his head. He strode impatiently over to Hayate, and tapped her shoulder.
"Excuse me, commander. If I would have a word?"
The Schwertkreuz owner turned to him with a look of confusion. "What is it? If it's important, you can-"
"No", the black-clad figure said, purposefully interrupting her. "No 'you can's', no 'ifs', no 'buts', no excuses." His face moved closer to that of the girl's, and his tone was welcoming with an underlying darkness that was unnoticeable. "I was hoping that you and I would..." He motioned to the doors through which he had entered. "...Have a little private chat. After all that's happened," he continued, firmly, "it is best to exchange words with the commander for advice, isn't it?"
Hayate paused a moment, then nodded in agreement. She walked alongside V until the pair disappeared behind the automatic door. The Stars and Lightning members sneaked behind them, standing just in front of it.
"What do you think the matter is?", Subaru inquired.
"How should I now?!", her partner, Teana, replied, making the blue-haired pugilist recoil slightly. Realizing her mistake, her tone softened. "But, if it's with the commander, then it's clearly a serious-"
There was a sound of steel ripping through the door, and the Forwards retreated yelling in fright as one of V's knives jutted through the metal plating. It was followed by an outburst that shocked even the Aces:
"What in the HELL were you thinking?!"
Hayate took several paces back away from the Fawkesian character, suddenly afraid- and with good reason.
"Well?", the man inquired, in tones of unbridled fury. "Should I wait for you to produce an apt excuse? Because we all know leading military figures are masterminds behind excuses!"
"I...I don't..." Hayate's voice was tinged with misunderstanding. "I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you know perfectly well what I mean", V retorted angrily. "I am referring to none other than the fiasco at the headquarters!" He slammed his fist against the wall. "Did you find it funny? Did you think it amusing?!"
The throats of each of the Forwards went dry, as all four of them stared in shock at the door, listening intently to the furore behind it.
"What do you-"
V was giving the outright puzzled commander no room for retaliation as he continued his verbal onslaught. "Allocating your forces so that you spread them thinly, so that you allowed an opportunity for an infiltration so easy that a child could have succeeded in attempting it. His tone shifted drastically, becoming bitter and sardonic. "Did you think that was the 'best course of action', hm? Did you?"
Hayate's tone suddenly became firm again, as she replied. [/I]"It was decided that it would be the optimum plan to-"[/I]
The next reply V gave was a bellow, brimming with nothing but anger and disdain.
"We are being BURIED under the avalanche of your INADEQUACIES, Commander!"
Sobs started from Caro's direction, coming out through intermittent shudders.
The masked one's retort came ever so close to stunning Hayate into silence.
"Inadequacies...?" He spoke barely above a whisper.
"Yes!", V exclaimed, harshly. "Below par, failures, substandard operations..." He slammed his fist against the wall once more for fierce emphasis.
"Inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies!"
Thump.
"And what's worse," he cried, ignoring the disbelieving look on the commander's features, "was that you had the gall to exclaim that everything would be under control. Had you used tactical planning, that might have been the case. What happened was your doing!" He pointed a gloved, accusative finger at her. "You and that conniving bastard Regius! We lost men out there, we have had members of this unit suffer severe injuries, and a girl under our own protection has been captured, along with a member of our own corps! Why? Because of you, and that rat of a general!"
Hayate took a step forward, defensively. "Don't even try to-"
"What?", he questioned, and replied laughing: "Insult him?" A man who has been in the Bureau for forty years, forty! And yet he cannot muster up simple thought up planning! He does not even come close to deserving the rank bestowed upon him!"
He paced over to Hayate, his very voice venomous to the brim and black as night. "And you...you're no commander."
That sentence was clearly audible to those outside, and it shocked them to the core. The Aces, Ritter and the Stars were staring wide-eyed in incomprehension as Erio tried to comfort Caro, who was on the verge of weeping openly.
"A commander..." V said, behind the wall.
"A commander..." He pointed at her yet again. "Knows how to make decisions. A commander uses planning to ensure that his or her troops and civilians affected by enemy action are safe. And what happened here?", he asked. "Everything went fine, didn't it?", he shouted, that sentence dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, we only had members of this unit severely injured and two of our own captured." He raised his hands in a carefree gesture, shrugging his shoulders. "Never mind that incident though, no! Aside from that, everything is fine. We have ample time to wait as our enemy plans for every mistake to resolve itself!"
V was breathing hard, and shook his head. "You're just like them...like those generals. Those self-centered generals sitting behind desks watching as soldiers go out and die, thinking that they're safe. Sure, a few words might speak daggers, harm your reputation, but you're safe, secured in your little cocoon." He spat in disgust.
"And you just relax, don't you? Whilst others are planning, fighting against what evils are abound, you're seated behind your desk twiddling your thumbs like some office worker. A fine example, don't you think?"
He about-turned, and started walking away from the silenced woman. He turned his head back, and spoke: "I used to hold you in high regard...'commander'...but now, I'm afraid that is a matter of debate.
He stormed off, cloak billowing behind him, leaving the commander to do nothing but merely look on in silent shock and disbelief.
I am pretty sure that I will run into a little bit of trouble. I know how old Hayate is, but if you are a commander, you're expected to make tactful decisions. Mobile Division Six, in some operations, isn't exactly known for bright plans. V has every right to scold her- he said that he was often critical of others. Despite him only being in the employ of the Bureau, he cares for his allies and those he must protect. He won't tolerate plans that are not thought out with a degree of carefulness.
And the fiasco at the HQ was Hayate's doing, in a way. If she had mobilized (I'm pretty sure that, even with the seminar room locked down, there was some way out. Heck, what about teleportation?), there would have been a stronger sense of command and cohesion amongst the forces. Alas, there wasn't, and it was their downfall.
Feel free to criticize me on this, I'm just stating what I think.

The Schwertkreuz owner turned to him with a look of confusion. "What is it? If it's important, you can-"
"No", the black-clad figure said, purposefully interrupting her. "No 'you can's', no 'ifs', no 'buts', no excuses." His face moved closer to that of the girl's, and his tone was welcoming with an underlying darkness that was unnoticeable. "I was hoping that you and I would..." He motioned to the doors through which he had entered. "...Have a little private chat. After all that's happened," he continued, firmly, "it is best to exchange words with the commander for advice, isn't it?"
Hayate paused a moment, then nodded in agreement. She walked alongside V until the pair disappeared behind the automatic door. The Stars and Lightning members sneaked behind them, standing just in front of it.
"What do you think the matter is?", Subaru inquired.
"How should I now?!", her partner, Teana, replied, making the blue-haired pugilist recoil slightly. Realizing her mistake, her tone softened. "But, if it's with the commander, then it's clearly a serious-"
There was a sound of steel ripping through the door, and the Forwards retreated yelling in fright as one of V's knives jutted through the metal plating. It was followed by an outburst that shocked even the Aces:
"What in the HELL were you thinking?!"
Hayate took several paces back away from the Fawkesian character, suddenly afraid- and with good reason.
"Well?", the man inquired, in tones of unbridled fury. "Should I wait for you to produce an apt excuse? Because we all know leading military figures are masterminds behind excuses!"
"I...I don't..." Hayate's voice was tinged with misunderstanding. "I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you know perfectly well what I mean", V retorted angrily. "I am referring to none other than the fiasco at the headquarters!" He slammed his fist against the wall. "Did you find it funny? Did you think it amusing?!"
The throats of each of the Forwards went dry, as all four of them stared in shock at the door, listening intently to the furore behind it.
"What do you-"
V was giving the outright puzzled commander no room for retaliation as he continued his verbal onslaught. "Allocating your forces so that you spread them thinly, so that you allowed an opportunity for an infiltration so easy that a child could have succeeded in attempting it. His tone shifted drastically, becoming bitter and sardonic. "Did you think that was the 'best course of action', hm? Did you?"
Hayate's tone suddenly became firm again, as she replied. [/I]"It was decided that it would be the optimum plan to-"[/I]
The next reply V gave was a bellow, brimming with nothing but anger and disdain.
"We are being BURIED under the avalanche of your INADEQUACIES, Commander!"
Sobs started from Caro's direction, coming out through intermittent shudders.
The masked one's retort came ever so close to stunning Hayate into silence.
"Inadequacies...?" He spoke barely above a whisper.
"Yes!", V exclaimed, harshly. "Below par, failures, substandard operations..." He slammed his fist against the wall once more for fierce emphasis.
"Inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies!"
Thump.
"And what's worse," he cried, ignoring the disbelieving look on the commander's features, "was that you had the gall to exclaim that everything would be under control. Had you used tactical planning, that might have been the case. What happened was your doing!" He pointed a gloved, accusative finger at her. "You and that conniving bastard Regius! We lost men out there, we have had members of this unit suffer severe injuries, and a girl under our own protection has been captured, along with a member of our own corps! Why? Because of you, and that rat of a general!"
Hayate took a step forward, defensively. "Don't even try to-"
"What?", he questioned, and replied laughing: "Insult him?" A man who has been in the Bureau for forty years, forty! And yet he cannot muster up simple thought up planning! He does not even come close to deserving the rank bestowed upon him!"
He paced over to Hayate, his very voice venomous to the brim and black as night. "And you...you're no commander."
That sentence was clearly audible to those outside, and it shocked them to the core. The Aces, Ritter and the Stars were staring wide-eyed in incomprehension as Erio tried to comfort Caro, who was on the verge of weeping openly.
"A commander..." V said, behind the wall.
"A commander..." He pointed at her yet again. "Knows how to make decisions. A commander uses planning to ensure that his or her troops and civilians affected by enemy action are safe. And what happened here?", he asked. "Everything went fine, didn't it?", he shouted, that sentence dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, we only had members of this unit severely injured and two of our own captured." He raised his hands in a carefree gesture, shrugging his shoulders. "Never mind that incident though, no! Aside from that, everything is fine. We have ample time to wait as our enemy plans for every mistake to resolve itself!"
V was breathing hard, and shook his head. "You're just like them...like those generals. Those self-centered generals sitting behind desks watching as soldiers go out and die, thinking that they're safe. Sure, a few words might speak daggers, harm your reputation, but you're safe, secured in your little cocoon." He spat in disgust.
"And you just relax, don't you? Whilst others are planning, fighting against what evils are abound, you're seated behind your desk twiddling your thumbs like some office worker. A fine example, don't you think?"
He about-turned, and started walking away from the silenced woman. He turned his head back, and spoke: "I used to hold you in high regard...'commander'...but now, I'm afraid that is a matter of debate.
He stormed off, cloak billowing behind him, leaving the commander to do nothing but merely look on in silent shock and disbelief.
I am pretty sure that I will run into a little bit of trouble. I know how old Hayate is, but if you are a commander, you're expected to make tactful decisions. Mobile Division Six, in some operations, isn't exactly known for bright plans. V has every right to scold her- he said that he was often critical of others. Despite him only being in the employ of the Bureau, he cares for his allies and those he must protect. He won't tolerate plans that are not thought out with a degree of carefulness.
And the fiasco at the HQ was Hayate's doing, in a way. If she had mobilized (I'm pretty sure that, even with the seminar room locked down, there was some way out. Heck, what about teleportation?), there would have been a stronger sense of command and cohesion amongst the forces. Alas, there wasn't, and it was their downfall.
Feel free to criticize me on this, I'm just stating what I think.
Maybe some with criticize this but... Crap, I cant help but agree. No one at RF6 would say such things to Hayate because they know her from long ago, but I can see someone else, someone who doesnt know her, in this case V, say all that... :uhoh:
In my opinion, at least one of the Aces should have stayed at HQ. There was no need for all of them to go to GC, and especially since they knew they'd have to go inside unarmed... :rolleyes:

Someone (arkhangelsk, I think) mentioned that Hayate put up a good show back in #2, with professionalism and all. After that her record in the anime so far has been pretty bleak.

Haha. Well, Hayate has all the best intentions in the world, and her decision to have all the captains, sub-captains, and forwards to go to GC was probably correct, since no one thought Scaglietti wanted Vivio, I guess.
The part that really needs repairing is the fact that Nanoha and Fate went inside GC, even though they knew that something was going to happen (from the prophesies and all) and that they would be disarmed if they go inside. That's like saying, "please pwn us!!" There was absolutely no reason for them to go inside... they didnt even attend to the conference. :rolleyes:
For the GC issue, I think Hayate felt she had to have someone inside, just in case the unthinkable happened. Ans since GC wouldn't allow the Forwards, that leaves only the Captains.
Besides, they weren't totally disarmed. They're quite capable of using magic without their devices. Now, the Forward would have been totally defenseless had they been the ones inside GC instead of the Captains.

Indeed, a lot of this can be debatable. If I was Hayate, though, I would have spread out the forces a bit better. Fate inside GC, Nanoha outside, Signum back at HQ... I dunno. :rolleyes:

That's like saying, "please pwn us!!" There was absolutely no reason for them to go inside... they didnt even attend to the conference. :rolleyes:
Hmm, regarding this part, I sort of came with something (very rough stuff as of now) that I'm trying to fit in with the official story without distorting it too much:
Hayate looked at the security plan in her hands with undisguised disbelief.
"I believe the instructions are clear and simple, Yagami. Make sure your deployments are done by the dawn of the 2nd." Colonel Thompson made a dismissive waving, as if to dispel Hayate from his sight. "You're dismissed."
Hayate's look of disbelief turned from the sheets of paper in her hands to the man in charge of the Conference's security.
"Permission to speak, sir."
"What now?" Thompson's tone was unfriendly.
Hayate ignored the undisguised dislike and went straight to the point, "Sir, may I ask what is the reason for insisting all my troop commanders to join me in the building? From a tactical point of view, wouldn't it be better if they are outside with their men, to allow a swifter response in case of an attack?"
"The reason is already stated here, isn't it, or are you so blind that even that has eluded you?" The colonel replied clodly and continued, "Officers of 1st Lieutenant rank and above are to stay within the building to protect the VIPs."
"Without their weapons?!" Hayate blurted.
"Well, we still can't rule out the possiblity of mutiny, you know."
"This is insane! How will they be able to defend anyone against armed insurgents unarmed?"
Thompson's eyebrows twitched dangerously. "Watch it, Yagami. I do not tolerate such language from a junior officer. The plans have been reviewed and approved by the higher-ups, and they have found no problems with it." He glared ominously at her, "Who are you, then, to criticize their expert decision?"
Hayate glared back at him. The higher-ups? That would only mean Regius and his cronies, and they didn't give a damn to the obvious danger Scaglietti and his AMF-generating drones posed. And you expect me to trust their thinking?!
She controlled herself and went on, "In that case, sir, I request my unit to be left out of this operation. We are a strike-force that's only good at hunting down Lost Logia to begin with and passive guard duty is incompatible with our vocation..."
"Don't be too full of yourself, Yagami!" roared Thompson, slamming his fist on the table. "You may be from the Main Office, but never forget that your unit is now under our command! There will be no place for your childish antics! Unlike the Main Office and the Fleet, we in the Ground Command are professionals, and we will not tolerate such insolence! You have been given orders, so act on them! If you show any more signs of insubordination, prepared to be court-martialed! Do I make myself clear, Lt. Colonel!"
That's it. Hayate knew there was no more point arguing with him anymore. With a salute and "Please excuse me then, sir," she left Thompson's office in barely-restrained fury.
The colonel let his breath catch up with him before slumping back into his seat. He looked at his own copy of the plans and frowned.
Despite his dislike for her, being scum and all, he knew she was right. He himself had been a specialist in security measures long enough to see that the plans were full of loopholes. What's Regius thinking, coming with something like this?
As if the thought had summoned him, a transmission screen popped up, the General propped up in an armchair. "I heard that that criminal Yagami was with you a few minutes ago, Greg," Regius growled.
Thompson nodded, "Just like what you've said. Rebellious and quarrelsome. She's exactly like Graham and Nakajima."
Regius snorted derisively, "Scum and filth, all of them." He looked intently at his friend, "You did make sure that she'll do as commanded?"
Ah, that. Thompson nodded, but added in an unassured tone, "Regius, I've been thinking but this plan..."
"This plan is perfect, Greg. Or don't you trust me even?"
"No, but..."
"No buts. Greg, there's a reason why I'm where I am today. You shouldn't doubt me, pal, it's not good for you."
Thompson winced. The higher-rank card he had played was now being played back at him.
"Well, if you say so..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some pressing business to attend to..."
Regius ended the transmission to prevent anymore questions from Thompson. Indeed, everything would be fine. Why shouldn't it be so? Since both the attack and defense plans were written by him, and he had made sure that the script would not only help him dictate the views towards the Einherjar Project, but would also create a black mark in that criminal's book. Then he would seize the chance to turn the tables on the Main Office and that meddlesome Church.
What remains now was for that day to arrive...
Not good at all, I think. But I hope if things did happen this way, it would at least helped to make Hayate look less bad. Truth be spoken, I don't like to see my Queen being reduced to a laughing stock or punching bag for people frustrated over 7Arcs' lack of tactic sense :(.

Well, in this case, at least part of the blame can be shifted off Hayate, since she really can't go against her orders too much without getting herself court-martialed (a lot of good that would do to RF6). Since I'm trying to project a Nanohaverse that isn't as plagued with nepotism as the official stuff, there will be a limit as to how far one can go with string pulling :heh:.
Though i still can't think of anything to defend the emptying of her base. Heck, Zhuge Liang did that once himself during the first Northern Expedition, and it's only through wits and sheer luck that he got out of the resulting danger in one piece.

*Runs* Weee!!! Giuseppe! (is a member of the GSG forum on FF.net)
As for the whole disarmed to go into the GFHQ issue, this again IMO goes back to poor intelligence. They expected SOMETHING, but what? It could have been a bomb, gas attack, some guy with an axe near some critical system, etc, etc. An external attack was possible to even likely, but an internal attack could also have happened (Sure Jail is the LIKELY suspect, but what if the threat turns out to REALLY be from Muhammad parking a truck full of 10 ton of ANFO in the basement?). So someone had to be inside and preferably near the important people, and without devices the fowards are meat, the Captains can at least do something though that's about the end of the debate about who to send in. Sending both of them? Eh maybe not such a hot idea, then again they were once more hampered by poor or incomplete intelligence. They definitely didn’t expect a major attack on their own HQ as well at the same time and why should they? They didn’t realize how important Vivio was to the enemies plans until AFTER this happened.
The morons in charge weren’t helping either, even if we ignore the prophecy there had still been a large number of terrorist attacks by a highly sophisticated and capable group. That alone should have been enough to override any standing nonsense about devices in the building in the interests of having the maximum available forces to defeat any possible attack. Sadly it wasn’t, but then again real life military history is rife with examples of extremely poor decisions when the correct course should have been blatantly obvious. (Like saying issuing marines on guard duty outside a barracks in a civil war torn Middle Eastern country EMPTY rifles…) Sadly RF6 IS in the military and so is obliged to follow most orders that don’t involve breaking whatever code of military justice the TSAB has (assuming TSAB works somewhat like modern armies) the order was legal, no matter how stupid, and so they where forced to obey and try to work with it.

Speaking of my part, looks like my PC is officially blind. However, I can still browse and do stuff, with difficulty, and that I've got all the necessities backed up. Though I will do recheck to see that I didn't miss anything, but until then, I really can't reply much to things.
@Estavali For the Hayate RF6 thing, they shouldn't have an idea they were going to be targeted. However, I do think that RF6 itself, is flawed in many ways especially since it was set up as a against-all-odds task force. Honestly, it gives the impression they're trying to mix SERIOUS BUSINESS with pleasure, and the Aces come across as being OVERLY confident to the point of WTF. Honestly, If Doctor had twice the Numbers he has, RF6 is almost pretty much screwed.
If they had like you know... complete intelligence on Jail, I can understand that much, but to be dealing with ambiguity, they're not giving the impression they're really taking things VERY seriously. For military officers, they don't seem to have that flexible mindset that deals with the possibility of unprecedented changes and wtf unexpectedness on the battlefield.
Hell, Hayate would've died if Jail was serious on bombing GC sky high.

It had been quite some time since the beleaguered unit that was Riot Force Six shifted their post to the Asura, one of the oldest of the Bureau's vessels.
Not much had been said. Most of the Forwards were silent, a deathly and disturbing pall of quietness casting itself over the interior of the ship, and Nanoha and Fate had been and still were conversing with Hayate about preparations to be made to counter the situation.
As the Lightning and Stars teams sat wordlessly, save for inaudible chatter amongst Vita and Signum, the doors at the other end of the bridge slid open. Footsteps echoed throughout the room and the other people present turned their heads towards the new arrival. It was V, who was moving with fast paces, almost threateningly, towards the trio of Aces.
"Ah, V!"
That was a cry from Nanoha. He chose not to produce a vocal response, instead only nodding his head. He strode impatiently over to Hayate, and tapped her shoulder.
"Excuse me, commander. If I would have a word?"
The Schwertkreuz owner turned to him with a look of confusion. "What is it? If it's important, you can-"
"No", the black-clad figure said, purposefully interrupting her. "No 'you can's', no 'ifs', no 'buts', no excuses." His face moved closer to that of the girl's, and his tone was welcoming with an underlying darkness that was unnoticeable. "I was hoping that you and I would..." He motioned to the doors through which he had entered. "...Have a little private chat. After all that's happened," he continued, firmly, "it is best to exchange words with the commander for advice, isn't it?"
Hayate paused a moment, then nodded in agreement. She walked alongside V until the pair disappeared behind the automatic door. The Stars and Lightning members sneaked behind them, standing just in front of it.
"What do you think the matter is?", Subaru inquired.
"How should I now?!", her partner, Teana, replied, making the blue-haired pugilist recoil slightly. Realizing her mistake, her tone softened. "But, if it's with the commander, then it's clearly a serious-"
There was a sound of steel ripping through the door, and the Forwards retreated yelling in fright as one of V's knives jutted through the metal plating. It was followed by an outburst that shocked even the Aces:
"What in the HELL were you thinking?!"
Hayate took several paces back away from the Fawkesian character, suddenly afraid- and with good reason.
"Well?", the man inquired, in tones of unbridled fury. "Should I wait for you to produce an apt excuse? Because we all know leading military figures are masterminds behind excuses!"
"I...I don't..." Hayate's voice was tinged with misunderstanding. "I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you know perfectly well what I mean", V retorted angrily. "I am referring to none other than the fiasco at the headquarters!" He slammed his fist against the wall. "Did you find it funny? Did you think it amusing?!"
The throats of each of the Forwards went dry, as all four of them stared in shock at the door, listening intently to the furore behind it.
"What do you-"
V was giving the outright puzzled commander no room for retaliation as he continued his verbal onslaught. "Allocating your forces so that you spread them thinly, so that you allowed an opportunity for an infiltration so easy that a child could have succeeded in attempting it. His tone shifted drastically, becoming bitter and sardonic. "Did you think that was the 'best course of action', hm? Did you?"
Hayate's tone suddenly became firm again, as she replied. [/I]"It was decided that it would be the optimum plan to-"[/I]
The next reply V gave was a bellow, brimming with nothing but anger and disdain.
"We are being BURIED under the avalanche of your INADEQUACIES, Commander!"
Sobs started from Caro's direction, coming out through intermittent shudders.
The masked one's retort came ever so close to stunning Hayate into silence.
"Inadequacies...?" He spoke barely above a whisper.
"Yes!", V exclaimed, harshly. "Below par, failures, substandard operations..." He slammed his fist against the wall once more for fierce emphasis.
"Inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies!"
Thump.
"And what's worse," he cried, ignoring the disbelieving look on the commander's features, "was that you had the gall to exclaim that everything would be under control. Had you used tactical planning, that might have been the case. What happened was your doing!" He pointed a gloved, accusative finger at her. "You and that conniving bastard Regius! We lost men out there, we have had members of this unit suffer severe injuries, and a girl under our own protection has been captured, along with a member of our own corps! Why? Because of you, and that rat of a general!"
Hayate took a step forward, defensively. "Don't even try to-"
"What?", he questioned, and replied laughing: "Insult him?" A man who has been in the Bureau for forty years, forty! And yet he cannot muster up simple thought up planning! He does not even come close to deserving the rank bestowed upon him!"
He paced over to Hayate, his very voice venomous to the brim and black as night. "And you...you're no commander."
That sentence was clearly audible to those outside, and it shocked them to the core. The Aces, Ritter and the Stars were staring wide-eyed in incomprehension as Erio tried to comfort Caro, who was on the verge of weeping openly.
"A commander..." V said, behind the wall.
"A commander..." He pointed at her yet again. "Knows how to make decisions. A commander uses planning to ensure that his or her troops and civilians affected by enemy action are safe. And what happened here?", he asked. "Everything went fine, didn't it?", he shouted, that sentence dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, we only had members of this unit severely injured and two of our own captured." He raised his hands in a carefree gesture, shrugging his shoulders. "Never mind that incident though, no! Aside from that, everything is fine. We have ample time to wait as our enemy plans for every mistake to resolve itself!"
V was breathing hard, and shook his head. "You're just like them...like those generals. Those self-centered generals sitting behind desks watching as soldiers go out and die, thinking that they're safe. Sure, a few words might speak daggers, harm your reputation, but you're safe, secured in your little cocoon." He spat in disgust.
"And you just relax, don't you? Whilst others are planning, fighting against what evils are abound, you're seated behind your desk twiddling your thumbs like some office worker. A fine example, don't you think?"
He about-turned, and started walking away from the silenced woman. He turned his head back, and spoke: "I used to hold you in high regard...'commander'...but now, I'm afraid that is a matter of debate.
He stormed off, cloak billowing behind him, leaving the commander to do nothing but merely look on in silent shock and disbelief.
I am pretty sure that I will run into a little bit of trouble. I know how old Hayate is, but if you are a commander, you're expected to make tactful decisions. Mobile Division Six, in some operations, isn't exactly known for bright plans. V has every right to scold her- he said that he was often critical of others. Despite him only being in the employ of the Bureau, he cares for his allies and those he must protect. He won't tolerate plans that are not thought out with a degree of carefulness.
And the fiasco at the HQ was Hayate's doing, in a way. If she had mobilized (I'm pretty sure that, even with the seminar room locked down, there was some way out. Heck, what about teleportation?), there would have been a stronger sense of command and cohesion amongst the forces. Alas, there wasn't, and it was their downfall.
Feel free to criticize me on this, I'm just stating what I think.
(This is relevant to episode 17 right?)
It's kinda harsh but you got a point. But however, I'm sure Hayate thought of the possibilities if jail attack, they woulda be screwed cuz they were unarmed. But of cause, the "higher-ups" made it that way so that they could screw up RF6. I'm also suspecting that the "sponsors" Jail mentioned are the high council gang.
For the GC issue, I think Hayate felt she had to have someone inside, just in case the unthinkable happened. Ans since GC wouldn't allow the Forwards, that leaves only the Captains.
Besides, they weren't totally disarmed. They're quite capable of using magic without their devices. Now, the Forward would have been totally defenseless had they been the ones inside GC instead of the Captains.
Yeah, but they could have placed signum/fate/nanoha outside at least and of cause the forwards would be sittin ducks if they were inside instead of the captains and i think i mentioned this in the episode thread before.
(The post below will be kinda off-topic)
If just normal people(no magic powers) used heavy duty weapons like bazookas etc. the captains woulda still get pwned because even though they are mages, they are still humans, and if they deploy a shield and a bazooka bullet hits them, they won't get damaged but they would get blown off their foot because of the impact and then they get shot with guns/ pwned.
Question from episode 22:
Can someone confirm me what exactly did Quattro do to Lutecia? Was it JUST mind control (that is, Quattro's IS) or is it something that Scaglietti implanted into Lutecia when she was created? (For some reason I hear Quattro mentioning the "Docta" but I may be wrong...)
Good thing this came up before I got to a specific part in my fic, or I would have been Ion Canon'ed. :p
Any ideas?

@Gale: Damn, man. I just hope your hard drives can hang on. I hope the problem is resolved soon. :)
Now, time for a scene involving "good" V. It's about time we saw him again. Be warned though...as mentioned in one of his earlier snippets, he noted that he criticized Hayate and the higher ups...well, here's how he did so after the Ep 17 incident, and in a rather furious fashion.

Feel free to criticize me on this, I'm just stating what I think.
Not at all - in fact, my OC Major Sevasti Secastan, is a consummate tactical planner - if he was the confrontational type, he'd probably give Hayate a blistering rant that would leave the girl in tears.
ICHIGEKI HISSATSU!
After a mad dash through the night, IT IS DONE!
CODEX: DAEMONJAEGER (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4EDZE19C)
Der Kleriker Kronicles :heh:
56 pages, 40 MB, with new material for everyone, even the Veterans... After all that, I still don't believe I managed to reach this stage... Thanks to everyone for this wonderful journey. Now to BREAK MORE HEAVENS, TOGETHER! :D :D :D :D
I understand that this is a rushed piece of work, so there are bound to be errors. Please tell me if you do spot one, I'll fix it up once I see it. :3
It's good... REALLY good - the only possible improvement that you could make would be to mention Arcas in the section AlternateS to StrikerS... :joke:
Hmm, regarding this part, I sort of came with something (very rough stuff as of now) that I'm trying to fit in with the official story without distorting it too much:
Hayate looked at the security plan in her hands with undisguised disbelief.
"I believe the instructions are clear and simple, Yagami. Make sure your deployments are done by the dawn of the 2nd." Colonel Thompson made a dismissive waving, as if to dispel Hayate from his sight. "You're dismissed."
Hayate's look of disbelief turned from the sheets of paper in her hands to the man in charge of the Conference's security.
"Permission to speak, sir."
"What now?" Thompson's tone was unfriendly.
Hayate ignored the undisguised dislike and went straight to the point, "Sir, may I ask what is the reason for insisting all my troop commanders to join me in the building? From a tactical point of view, wouldn't it be better if they are outside with their men, to allow a swifter response in case of an attack?"
"The reason is already stated here, isn't it, or are you so blind that even that has eluded you?" The colonel replied clodly and continued, "Officers of 1st Lieutenant rank and above are to stay within the building to protect the VIPs."
"Without their weapons?!" Hayate blurted.
"Well, we still can't rule out the possiblity of mutiny, you know."
"This is insane! How will they be able to defend anyone against armed insurgents unarmed?"
Thompson's eyebrows twitched dangerously. "Watch it, Yagami. I do not tolerate such language from a junior officer. The plans have been reviewed and approved by the higher-ups, and they have found no problems with it." He glared ominously at her, "Who are you, then, to criticize their expert decision?"
Hayate glared back at him. The higher-ups? That would only mean Regius and his cronies, and they didn't give a damn to the obvious danger Scaglietti and his AMF-generating drones posed. And you expect me to trust their thinking?!
She controlled herself and went on, "In that case, sir, I request my unit to be left out of this operation. We are a strike-force that's only good at hunting down Lost Logia to begin with and passive guard duty is incompatible with our vocation..."
"Don't be too full of yourself, Yagami!" roared Thompson, slamming his fist on the table. "You may be from the Main Office, but never forget that your unit is now under our command! There will be no place for your childish antics! Unlike the Main Office and the Fleet, we in the Ground Command are professionals, and we will not tolerate such insolence! You have been given orders, so act on them! If you show any more signs of insubordination, prepared to be court-martialed! Do I make myself clear, Lt. Colonel!"
That's it. Hayate knew there was no more point arguing with him anymore. With a salute and "Please excuse me then, sir," she left Thompson's office in barely-restrained fury.
The colonel let his breath catch up with him before slumping back into his seat. He looked at his own copy of the plans and frowned.
Despite his dislike for her, being scum and all, he knew she was right. He himself had been a specialist in security measures long enough to see that the plans were full of loopholes. What's Regius thinking, coming with something like this?
As if the thought had summoned him, a transmission screen popped up, the General propped up in an armchair. "I heard that that criminal Yagami was with you a few minutes ago, Greg," Regius growled.
Thompson nodded, "Just like what you've said. Rebellious and quarrelsome. She's exactly like Graham and Nakajima."
Regius snorted derisively, "Scum and filth, all of them." He looked intently at his friend, "You did make sure that she'll do as commanded?"
Ah, that. Thompson nodded, but added in an unassured tone, "Regius, I've been thinking but this plan..."
"This plan is perfect, Greg. Or don't you trust me even?"
"No, but..."
"No buts. Greg, there's a reason why I'm where I am today. You shouldn't doubt me, pal, it's not good for you."
Thompson winced. The higher-rank card he had played was now being played back at him.
"Well, if you say so..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some pressing business to attend to..."
Regius ended the transmission to prevent anymore questions from Thompson. Indeed, everything would be fine. Why shouldn't it be so? Since both the attack and defense plans were written by him, and he had made sure that the script would not only help him dictate the views towards the Einherjar Project, but would also create a black mark in that criminal's book. Then he would seize the chance to turn the tables on the Main Office and that meddlesome Church.
What remains now was for that day to arrive...
Not good at all, I think. But I hope if things did happen this way, it would at least helped to make Hayate look less bad. Truth be spoken, I don't like to see my Queen being reduced to a laughing stock or punching bag for people frustrated over 7Arcs' lack of tactic sense :(.
What exactly do the people @ GC have against Hayate? The only thing I can think of is the YnS incident, and that happened years ago...
At a friends, so I can't really clear the backlog, but....
Congratulations and thanks on becoming officially te biggest thread at Animesuki.
I still remember tat the moderators told us they were doubtfull if a thread such as this could ever work, and look where we are now! :D
I think this is in part to thank to the great community here. No powerplayers, and even if it's done it's more an alternate scenario then anything else. Not to mention everyone is taken into calculation. God I love this place! :D:D:D
Now all we need is a kiriban or something to celebrate, maybe I could whip something up... though it'd be in a few days. :heh:
I'll see if I can get the next short up in a few days as a celebration gift.

The power of this thread is so powerful it sent my PC to hell...
No, I'm not kidding. (( I am on the thread part though )) If you don't see me posting (( much )) within these 2 days or something, it means that my PC is in the Satashi hell. Right now, I'm barely seeing this with the Task Manager. My desktop itself has gone kapoot. Thankfully, my harddrives are still functioning, but for how much longer, I don't know.
So, I'm in the process of backing up everything important before even the Task Manager dies, so wish me luck...
*sulks in the corner*
:upset::upset::upset:
Damn! That sucks!:upset:
Hope you can come back soon...
CELEBRATIONS!
And such. :D
@Gale: Damn, man. I just hope your hard drives can hang on. I hope the problem is resolved soon. :)
Now, time for a scene involving "good" V. It's about time we saw him again. Be warned though...as mentioned in one of his earlier snippets, he noted that he criticized Hayate and the higher ups...well, here's how he did so after the Ep 17 incident, and in a rather furious fashion.
It had been quite some time since the beleaguered unit that was Riot Force Six shifted their post to the Asura, one of the oldest of the Bureau's vessels.
Not much had been said. Most of the Forwards were silent, a deathly and disturbing pall of quietness casting itself over the interior of the ship, and Nanoha and Fate had been and still were conversing with Hayate about preparations to be made to counter the situation.
As the Lightning and Stars teams sat wordlessly, save for inaudible chatter amongst Vita and Signum, the doors at the other end of the bridge slid open. Footsteps echoed throughout the room and the other people present turned their heads towards the new arrival. It was V, who was moving with fast paces, almost threateningly, towards the trio of Aces.
"Ah, V!"
That was a cry from Nanoha. He chose not to produce a vocal response, instead only nodding his head. He strode impatiently over to Hayate, and tapped her shoulder.
"Excuse me, commander. If I would have a word?"
The Schwertkreuz owner turned to him with a look of confusion. "What is it? If it's important, you can-"
"No", the black-clad figure said, purposefully interrupting her. "No 'you can's', no 'ifs', no 'buts', no excuses." His face moved closer to that of the girl's, and his tone was welcoming with an underlying darkness that was unnoticeable. "I was hoping that you and I would..." He motioned to the doors through which he had entered. "...Have a little private chat. After all that's happened," he continued, firmly, "it is best to exchange words with the commander for advice, isn't it?"
Hayate paused a moment, then nodded in agreement. She walked alongside V until the pair disappeared behind the automatic door. The Stars and Lightning members sneaked behind them, standing just in front of it.
"What do you think the matter is?", Subaru inquired.
"How should I now?!", her partner, Teana, replied, making the blue-haired pugilist recoil slightly. Realizing her mistake, her tone softened. "But, if it's with the commander, then it's clearly a serious-"
There was a sound of steel ripping through the door, and the Forwards retreated yelling in fright as one of V's knives jutted through the metal plating. It was followed by an outburst that shocked even the Aces:
"What in the HELL were you thinking?!"
Hayate took several paces back away from the Fawkesian character, suddenly afraid- and with good reason.
"Well?", the man inquired, in tones of unbridled fury. "Should I wait for you to produce an apt excuse? Because we all know leading military figures are masterminds behind excuses!"
"I...I don't..." Hayate's voice was tinged with misunderstanding. "I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you know perfectly well what I mean", V retorted angrily. "I am referring to none other than the fiasco at the headquarters!" He slammed his fist against the wall. "Did you find it funny? Did you think it amusing?!"
The throats of each of the Forwards went dry, as all four of them stared in shock at the door, listening intently to the furore behind it.
"What do you-"
V was giving the outright puzzled commander no room for retaliation as he continued his verbal onslaught. "Allocating your forces so that you spread them thinly, so that you allowed an opportunity for an infiltration so easy that a child could have succeeded in attempting it. His tone shifted drastically, becoming bitter and sardonic. "Did you think that was the 'best course of action', hm? Did you?"
Hayate's tone suddenly became firm again, as she replied. [/I]"It was decided that it would be the optimum plan to-"[/I]
The next reply V gave was a bellow, brimming with nothing but anger and disdain.
"We are being BURIED under the avalanche of your INADEQUACIES, Commander!"
Sobs started from Caro's direction, coming out through intermittent shudders.
The masked one's retort came ever so close to stunning Hayate into silence.
"Inadequacies...?" He spoke barely above a whisper.
"Yes!", V exclaimed, harshly. "Below par, failures, substandard operations..." He slammed his fist against the wall once more for fierce emphasis.
"Inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies!"
Thump.
"And what's worse," he cried, ignoring the disbelieving look on the commander's features, "was that you had the gall to exclaim that everything would be under control. Had you used tactical planning, that might have been the case. What happened was your doing!" He pointed a gloved, accusative finger at her. "You and that conniving bastard Regius! We lost men out there, we have had members of this unit suffer severe injuries, and a girl under our own protection has been captured, along with a member of our own corps! Why? Because of you, and that rat of a general!"
Hayate took a step forward, defensively. "Don't even try to-"
"What?", he questioned, and replied laughing: "Insult him?" A man who has been in the Bureau for forty years, forty! And yet he cannot muster up simple thought up planning! He does not even come close to deserving the rank bestowed upon him!"
He paced over to Hayate, his very voice venomous to the brim and black as night. "And you...you're no commander."
That sentence was clearly audible to those outside, and it shocked them to the core. The Aces, Ritter and the Stars were staring wide-eyed in incomprehension as Erio tried to comfort Caro, who was on the verge of weeping openly.
"A commander..." V said, behind the wall.
"A commander..." He pointed at her yet again. "Knows how to make decisions. A commander uses planning to ensure that his or her troops and civilians affected by enemy action are safe. And what happened here?", he asked. "Everything went fine, didn't it?", he shouted, that sentence dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, we only had members of this unit severely injured and two of our own captured." He raised his hands in a carefree gesture, shrugging his shoulders. "Never mind that incident though, no! Aside from that, everything is fine. We have ample time to wait as our enemy plans for every mistake to resolve itself!"
V was breathing hard, and shook his head. "You're just like them...like those generals. Those self-centered generals sitting behind desks watching as soldiers go out and die, thinking that they're safe. Sure, a few words might speak daggers, harm your reputation, but you're safe, secured in your little cocoon." He spat in disgust.
"And you just relax, don't you? Whilst others are planning, fighting against what evils are abound, you're seated behind your desk twiddling your thumbs like some office worker. A fine example, don't you think?"
He about-turned, and started walking away from the silenced woman. He turned his head back, and spoke: "I used to hold you in high regard...'commander'...but now, I'm afraid that is a matter of debate.
He stormed off, cloak billowing behind him, leaving the commander to do nothing but merely look on in silent shock and disbelief.
I am pretty sure that I will run into a little bit of trouble. I know how old Hayate is, but if you are a commander, you're expected to make tactful decisions. Mobile Division Six, in some operations, isn't exactly known for bright plans. V has every right to scold her- he said that he was often critical of others. Despite him only being in the employ of the Bureau, he cares for his allies and those he must protect. He won't tolerate plans that are not thought out with a degree of carefulness.
And the fiasco at the HQ was Hayate's doing, in a way. If she had mobilized (I'm pretty sure that, even with the seminar room locked down, there was some way out. Heck, what about teleportation?), there would have been a stronger sense of command and cohesion amongst the forces. Alas, there wasn't, and it was their downfall.
Feel free to criticize me on this, I'm just stating what I think.
Not much criticism really needed.
If it was Aurion, he'd be reprimanding her along similar lines. But at least he wouldn't be that harsh (just a bit + silent&disappointed talk hurts more) and he at least won't lump her in with Regius' kind. But coming from him, it'll hurt more.:uhoh: It'll most likely leave Hayate quite upset.:heh:
Hayate's a commander who commands behind lines. It's in the job description. She couldn't have done much because she was limited. PLUS, if you kill her, the Wolkies can say goodbye.(A's SS3 confirmation) Asking her to go frontlines in her current condition is like asking your general to go to the crossfire naked.
I'm not saying that RF6 did a stellar job. Heck, they FAILED miserably. But I wouldn't go as far as dump all the blame on them seeing the even faultier chain of command above them (Regius). Sure, they didn't succeed. But what can you say for every frickin other people tasked to defend, THE MAIN PEOPLE TASKED TO DEFEND? They got pwned in short order and didn't even put up a fight.:rolleyes: What's annoying is that RF6 seems to be getting the big beef of accusations when they're not really that big of a group and considering the fact that they are not responsible for the basic security system. PLUS, they're up against a freakin army with little data about the enemy allocation. Higher firepower be damned, they can't handle thousands just like that!
About the no devices part, I understand that it was the Aces' plan to be inside. But it's the standard policy laid by the higher ups that prevented them from taking their devices with them. And as much as it sucks, the bigwigs ALWAYS get higher priority of defense.
ICHIGEKI HISSATSU!
After a mad dash through the night, IT IS DONE!
CODEX: DAEMONJAEGER (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4EDZE19C)
Der Kleriker Kronicles :heh:
56 pages, 40 MB, with new material for everyone, even the Veterans... After all that, I still don't believe I managed to reach this stage... Thanks to everyone for this wonderful journey. Now to BREAK MORE HEAVENS, TOGETHER! :D :D :D :D
I understand that this is a rushed piece of work, so there are bound to be errors. Please tell me if you do spot one, I'll fix it up once I see it. :3
I'll download later.:heh:
Hmm, regarding this part, I sort of came with something (very rough stuff as of now) that I'm trying to fit in with the official story without distorting it too much:
Hayate looked at the security plan in her hands with undisguised disbelief.
"I believe the instructions are clear and simple, Yagami. Make sure your deployments are done by the dawn of the 2nd." Colonel Thompson made a dismissive waving, as if to dispel Hayate from his sight. "You're dismissed."
Hayate's look of disbelief turned from the sheets of paper in her hands to the man in charge of the Conference's security.
"Permission to speak, sir."
"What now?" Thompson's tone was unfriendly.
Hayate ignored the undisguised dislike and went straight to the point, "Sir, may I ask what is the reason for insisting all my troop commanders to join me in the building? From a tactical point of view, wouldn't it be better if they are outside with their men, to allow a swifter response in case of an attack?"
"The reason is already stated here, isn't it, or are you so blind that even that has eluded you?" The colonel replied clodly and continued, "Officers of 1st Lieutenant rank and above are to stay within the building to protect the VIPs."
"Without their weapons?!" Hayate blurted.
"Well, we still can't rule out the possiblity of mutiny, you know."
"This is insane! How will they be able to defend anyone against armed insurgents unarmed?"
Thompson's eyebrows twitched dangerously. "Watch it, Yagami. I do not tolerate such language from a junior officer. The plans have been reviewed and approved by the higher-ups, and they have found no problems with it." He glared ominously at her, "Who are you, then, to criticize their expert decision?"
Hayate glared back at him. The higher-ups? That would only mean Regius and his cronies, and they didn't give a damn to the obvious danger Scaglietti and his AMF-generating drones posed. And you expect me to trust their thinking?!
She controlled herself and went on, "In that case, sir, I request my unit to be left out of this operation. We are a strike-force that's only good at hunting down Lost Logia to begin with and passive guard duty is incompatible with our vocation..."
"Don't be too full of yourself, Yagami!" roared Thompson, slamming his fist on the table. "You may be from the Main Office, but never forget that your unit is now under our command! There will be no place for your childish antics! Unlike the Main Office and the Fleet, we in the Ground Command are professionals, and we will not tolerate such insolence! You have been given orders, so act on them! If you show any more signs of insubordination, prepared to be court-martialed! Do I make myself clear, Lt. Colonel!"
That's it. Hayate knew there was no more point arguing with him anymore. With a salute and "Please excuse me then, sir," she left Thompson's office in barely-restrained fury.
The colonel let his breath catch up with him before slumping back into his seat. He looked at his own copy of the plans and frowned.
Despite his dislike for her, being scum and all, he knew she was right. He himself had been a specialist in security measures long enough to see that the plans were full of loopholes. What's Regius thinking, coming with something like this?
As if the thought had summoned him, a transmission screen popped up, the General propped up in an armchair. "I heard that that criminal Yagami was with you a few minutes ago, Greg," Regius growled.
Thompson nodded, "Just like what you've said. Rebellious and quarrelsome. She's exactly like Graham and Nakajima."
Regius snorted derisively, "Scum and filth, all of them." He looked intently at his friend, "You did make sure that she'll do as commanded?"
Ah, that. Thompson nodded, but added in an unassured tone, "Regius, I've been thinking but this plan..."
"This plan is perfect, Greg. Or don't you trust me even?"
"No, but..."
"No buts. Greg, there's a reason why I'm where I am today. You shouldn't doubt me, pal, it's not good for you."
Thompson winced. The higher-rank card he had played was now being played back at him.
"Well, if you say so..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some pressing business to attend to..."
Regius ended the transmission to prevent anymore questions from Thompson. Indeed, everything would be fine. Why shouldn't it be so? Since both the attack and defense plans were written by him, and he had made sure that the script would not only help him dictate the views towards the Einherjar Project, but would also create a black mark in that criminal's book. Then he would seize the chance to turn the tables on the Main Office and that meddlesome Church.
What remains now was for that day to arrive...
Not good at all, I think. But I hope if things did happen this way, it would at least helped to make Hayate look less bad. Truth be spoken, I don't like to see my Queen being reduced to a laughing stock or punching bag for people frustrated over 7Arcs' lack of tactic sense :(.
I agree with you there.:( Hayate's getting the worst shafting, considering her status as an Ace and a part of the friendship trio.
At a friends, so I can't really clear the backlog, but....
Congratulations and thanks on becoming officially te biggest thread at Animesuki.
I still remember tat the moderators told us they were doubtfull if a thread such as this could ever work, and look where we are now! :D
I think this is in part to thank to the great community here. No powerplayers, and even if it's done it's more an alternate scenario then anything else. Not to mention everyone is taken into calculation. God I love this place! :D:D:D
Now all we need is a kiriban or something to celebrate, maybe I could whip something up... though it'd be in a few days. :heh:
CHEERS TO A SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY! RAWR!!!
As for the whole disarmed to go into the GFHQ issue, this again IMO goes back to poor intelligence. They expected SOMETHING, but what? It could have been a bomb, gas attack, some guy with an axe near some critical system, etc, etc. An external attack was possible to even likely, but an internal attack could also have happened (Sure Jail is the LIKELY suspect, but what if the threat turns out to REALLY be from Muhammad parking a truck full of 10 ton of ANFO in the basement?). So someone had to be inside and preferably near the important people, and without devices the fowards are meat, the Captains can at least do something though that's about the end of the debate about who to send in. Sending both of them? Eh maybe not such a hot idea, then again they were once more hampered by poor or incomplete intelligence. They definitely didn’t expect a major attack on their own HQ as well at the same time and why should they? They didn’t realize how important Vivio was to the enemies plans until AFTER this happened.
The morons in charge weren’t helping either, even if we ignore the prophecy there had still been a large number of terrorist attacks by a highly sophisticated and capable group. That alone should have been enough to override any standing nonsense about devices in the building in the interests of having the maximum available forces to defeat any possible attack. Sadly it wasn’t, but then again real life military history is rife with examples of extremely poor decisions when the correct course should have been blatantly obvious. (Like saying issuing marines on guard duty outside a barracks in a civil war torn Middle Eastern country EMPTY rifles…) Sadly RF6 IS in the military and so is obliged to follow most orders that don’t involve breaking whatever code of military justice the TSAB has (assuming TSAB works somewhat like modern armies) the order was legal, no matter how stupid, and so they where forced to obey and try to work with it.
*off to school.*
That's a great defense.:)
IT'S DONE!!! :D
CARONO fans, rejoice :D

Speaking of my part, looks like my PC is officially blind. However, I can still browse and do stuff, with difficulty, and that I've got all the necessities backed up. Though I will do recheck to see that I didn't miss anything, but until then, I really can't reply much to things.
@Estavali For the Hayate RF6 thing, they shouldn't have an idea they were going to be targeted. However, I do think that RF6 itself, is flawed in many ways especially since it was set up as a against-all-odds task force. Honestly, it gives the impression they're trying to mix SERIOUS BUSINESS with pleasure, and the Aces come across as being OVERLY confident to the point of WTF. Honestly, If Doctor had twice the Numbers he has, RF6 is almost pretty much screwed.
If they had like you know... complete intelligence on Jail, I can understand that much, but to be dealing with ambiguity, they're not giving the impression they're really taking things VERY seriously. For military officers, they don't seem to have that flexible mindset that deals with the possibility of unprecedented changes and wtf unexpectedness on the battlefield.
Hell, Hayate would've died if Jail was serious on bombing GC sky high.
Now that's one reasonably succinct truth.:heh: I was going :eyebrow::eyebrow::eyebrow: when the three of them going "Kitto. Daijoubu." I mean, WTF? That's some confidence they've got there.
@Hayate22: Tha master list of all the OC's can be seen in the 1st page. Their spell lists are part of the profiles.:)

I was merely quoting that line from Leeron as he was encouraging Simon to activate his Spiral Power in Epi 2! :uhoh:
But still... but still... :twitch::eek:
Well, I've decided to show upgrades for those aren't yet upgraded.
For Sette, pincers might be the best way to go around it. A first example I found was the pincers on this...thing:
http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/miniatures/bycompany/hobbyproducts/dairecoon_cmdr.jpg
I thought those were a tad...large, to say the least. I could size them down, sure, but I sought other alternatives. The one I came across was from none other than...
http://www.tam-r.com/gazou/hguc/hguc350/hguc_acguy.jpg
I've been causing way~ too much possible H4xx recently. :heh:
Note the pincer in Acguy's right hand. It also has a cannon under the blades. Implementing that into Sette's new toys won't be so bad...right? :uhoh:
Right?
:heh:
And, for Uendi, not much was really changed about her, except her board might look like the one this famous character has, though altered to fit the cannon in:
http://www.superherotimes.com/newsarchive/SilverSurfermain.jpg
Also, as a supplementary weapon, an energy beam will be placed underneath the board at its tip to serve as a ramming implement.
That only leaves Uno and Quattro. The former, being, as her IS states, "flawless", might not need an upgrade after all. That just has Quattro remaining...and who knows what she would do with add-ons. :uhoh:
What the... our first Acguy ref :D For some strange reason, I have this image of Sette cosplaying as an Acguy girl... :uhoh:
*runs*
Now I'm a bit curious, anyone got a spell list for their characters?
I do...lol...
Most of us here have individual spell lists for our character profiles, linked at the first page of this thread. Rather comprehensive I must say, and with the number of OC's, checking them out will be quite daunting :heh:
Oh, and to the members of this thread: One of you must reference Gurren-Lagann 22 in your creations. I don't care how, but such epicness must not go unreferenced. May Kamina be with you. Thanks.
*whistles*
Hayate grabs his blue triangle pendant and yells out.
"Arataka, Set up!"
"Katana Form, Set Up."
In a flash of blue magical light, and a rather short transformation sequence. Hayate appears in his Barrier Jacket as he points his katana at the one known as Wibbles.
"You there, why are you harrassing my user? You are hereby under arrest for attempting to coerce a normal civilian into evil activities. Lower your weapons and explain yourself. If you concide to these terms you are allowed to represent yourself in court."
Hayate concentrated his eyes on the one known as Wibbles.
"Lightning Lancer Set. Fire On Ready."
Arataka? Sakura Shinguji's katana? :twitch:
Hey guys? Remember how I said I'll pop in once in a while for fun? Well, erm... What I'm trying to say is-
Cero (Purple-eyed) : "10 MORE FREAKING POSTS TILL WE OVERRUN IMAGE THREAD!! SPARTTTTTAAAAAAANNNNNNNSSSSSSSS!!!!!!"
^
Lance: "His eyes turned purple again..."
Jeno: "Yeah... I'll bind him still while you do the sealing..."
Lance: "Deal."
FOR SPARTAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS MIDCHILDA!!!!! :D:D
:eek: I see, so that's why Aurion needs Smith and Wes as bodyguards, huh? (since they are the only ones who would approve such...methods :uhoh:) I LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING!! :D
Not quite :heh: But then again, Aurion MIGHT just require their services after the mission :p:D
I doubt so. It is Lord Chaos' after all.
AND WE HAVE A WINNAR!!! :D :D :D :D :heh: :eyespin:

I think it's been long since we've seen the Panaoia of Chrono Harlaown, let's see more! :D
Yup, we can hardly believe it ourselves :heh:
The power of this thread is so powerful it sent my PC to hell...
No, I'm not kidding. (( I am on the thread part though )) If you don't see me posting (( much )) within these 2 days or something, it means that my PC is in the Satashi hell. Right now, I'm barely seeing this with the Task Manager. My desktop itself has gone kapoot. Thankfully, my harddrives are still functioning, but for how much longer, I don't know.
So, I'm in the process of backing up everything important before even the Task Manager dies, so wish me luck...
*sulks in the corner*
:upset: Ouch... So much Courage , Manliness and Hotblood overwhelmed your PC :heh:
Seriously though, hope you get your PC fixed soon, and much luck. :)
Now, time for a scene involving "good" V. It's about time we saw him again. Be warned though...as mentioned in one of his earlier snippets, he noted that he criticized Hayate and the higher ups...well, here's how he did so after the Ep 17 incident, and in a rather furious fashion.
It had been quite some time since the beleaguered unit that was Riot Force Six shifted their post to the Asura, one of the oldest of the Bureau's vessels.
Not much had been said. Most of the Forwards were silent, a deathly and disturbing pall of quietness casting itself over the interior of the ship, and Nanoha and Fate had been and still were conversing with Hayate about preparations to be made to counter the situation.
As the Lightning and Stars teams sat wordlessly, save for inaudible chatter amongst Vita and Signum, the doors at the other end of the bridge slid open. Footsteps echoed throughout the room and the other people present turned their heads towards the new arrival. It was V, who was moving with fast paces, almost threateningly, towards the trio of Aces.
"Ah, V!"
That was a cry from Nanoha. He chose not to produce a vocal response, instead only nodding his head. He strode impatiently over to Hayate, and tapped her shoulder.
"Excuse me, commander. If I would have a word?"
The Schwertkreuz owner turned to him with a look of confusion. "What is it? If it's important, you can-"
"No", the black-clad figure said, purposefully interrupting her. "No 'you can's', no 'ifs', no 'buts', no excuses." His face moved closer to that of the girl's, and his tone was welcoming with an underlying darkness that was unnoticeable. "I was hoping that you and I would..." He motioned to the doors through which he had entered. "...Have a little private chat. After all that's happened," he continued, firmly, "it is best to exchange words with the commander for advice, isn't it?"
Hayate paused a moment, then nodded in agreement. She walked alongside V until the pair disappeared behind the automatic door. The Stars and Lightning members sneaked behind them, standing just in front of it.
"What do you think the matter is?", Subaru inquired.
"How should I now?!", her partner, Teana, replied, making the blue-haired pugilist recoil slightly. Realizing her mistake, her tone softened. "But, if it's with the commander, then it's clearly a serious-"
There was a sound of steel ripping through the door, and the Forwards retreated yelling in fright as one of V's knives jutted through the metal plating. It was followed by an outburst that shocked even the Aces:
"What in the HELL were you thinking?!"
Hayate took several paces back away from the Fawkesian character, suddenly afraid- and with good reason.
"Well?", the man inquired, in tones of unbridled fury. "Should I wait for you to produce an apt excuse? Because we all know leading military figures are masterminds behind excuses!"
"I...I don't..." Hayate's voice was tinged with misunderstanding. "I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you know perfectly well what I mean", V retorted angrily. "I am referring to none other than the fiasco at the headquarters!" He slammed his fist against the wall. "Did you find it funny? Did you think it amusing?!"
The throats of each of the Forwards went dry, as all four of them stared in shock at the door, listening intently to the furore behind it.
"What do you-"
V was giving the outright puzzled commander no room for retaliation as he continued his verbal onslaught. "Allocating your forces so that you spread them thinly, so that you allowed an opportunity for an infiltration so easy that a child could have succeeded in attempting it. His tone shifted drastically, becoming bitter and sardonic. "Did you think that was the 'best course of action', hm? Did you?"
Hayate's tone suddenly became firm again, as she replied. [/I]"It was decided that it would be the optimum plan to-"[/I]
The next reply V gave was a bellow, brimming with nothing but anger and disdain.
"We are being BURIED under the avalanche of your INADEQUACIES, Commander!"
Sobs started from Caro's direction, coming out through intermittent shudders.
The masked one's retort came ever so close to stunning Hayate into silence.
"Inadequacies...?" He spoke barely above a whisper.
"Yes!", V exclaimed, harshly. "Below par, failures, substandard operations..." He slammed his fist against the wall once more for fierce emphasis.
"Inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies!"
Thump.
"And what's worse," he cried, ignoring the disbelieving look on the commander's features, "was that you had the gall to exclaim that everything would be under control. Had you used tactical planning, that might have been the case. What happened was your doing!" He pointed a gloved, accusative finger at her. "You and that conniving bastard Regius! We lost men out there, we have had members of this unit suffer severe injuries, and a girl under our own protection has been captured, along with a member of our own corps! Why? Because of you, and that rat of a general!"
Hayate took a step forward, defensively. "Don't even try to-"
"What?", he questioned, and replied laughing: "Insult him?" A man who has been in the Bureau for forty years, forty! And yet he cannot muster up simple thought up planning! He does not even come close to deserving the rank bestowed upon him!"
He paced over to Hayate, his very voice venomous to the brim and black as night. "And you...you're no commander."
That sentence was clearly audible to those outside, and it shocked them to the core. The Aces, Ritter and the Stars were staring wide-eyed in incomprehension as Erio tried to comfort Caro, who was on the verge of weeping openly.
"A commander..." V said, behind the wall.
"A commander..." He pointed at her yet again. "Knows how to make decisions. A commander uses planning to ensure that his or her troops and civilians affected by enemy action are safe. And what happened here?", he asked. "Everything went fine, didn't it?", he shouted, that sentence dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, we only had members of this unit severely injured and two of our own captured." He raised his hands in a carefree gesture, shrugging his shoulders. "Never mind that incident though, no! Aside from that, everything is fine. We have ample time to wait as our enemy plans for every mistake to resolve itself!"
V was breathing hard, and shook his head. "You're just like them...like those generals. Those self-centered generals sitting behind desks watching as soldiers go out and die, thinking that they're safe. Sure, a few words might speak daggers, harm your reputation, but you're safe, secured in your little cocoon." He spat in disgust.
"And you just relax, don't you? Whilst others are planning, fighting against what evils are abound, you're seated behind your desk twiddling your thumbs like some office worker. A fine example, don't you think?"
He about-turned, and started walking away from the silenced woman. He turned his head back, and spoke: "I used to hold you in high regard...'commander'...but now, I'm afraid that is a matter of debate.
He stormed off, cloak billowing behind him, leaving the commander to do nothing but merely look on in silent shock and disbelief.
I am pretty sure that I will run into a little bit of trouble. I know how old Hayate is, but if you are a commander, you're expected to make tactful decisions. Mobile Division Six, in some operations, isn't exactly known for bright plans. V has every right to scold her- he said that he was often critical of others. Despite him only being in the employ of the Bureau, he cares for his allies and those he must protect. He won't tolerate plans that are not thought out with a degree of carefulness.
And the fiasco at the HQ was Hayate's doing, in a way. If she had mobilized (I'm pretty sure that, even with the seminar room locked down, there was some way out. Heck, what about teleportation?), there would have been a stronger sense of command and cohesion amongst the forces. Alas, there wasn't, and it was their downfall.
Feel free to criticize me on this, I'm just stating what I think.
Ouch... :upset: V really gave Hayate a mental beatdown there :upset:
On all of this talk about TSAB's command decisions and such, I'm not even gonna get into it. Having seen several real life examples of command structure inadequacy, all I can say is:
To err is human.
ICHIGEKI HISSATSU!

Let's see how large this Bluecheesium field is :eyespin:
Hmm, regarding this part, I sort of came with something (very rough stuff as of now) that I'm trying to fit in with the official story without distorting it too much:
Hayate looked at the security plan in her hands with undisguised disbelief.

Hayate's look of disbelief turned from the sheets of paper in her hands to the man in charge of the Conference's security.
"Permission to speak, sir."
"What now?" Thompson's tone was unfriendly.
Hayate ignored the undisguised dislike and went straight to the point, "Sir, may I ask what is the reason for insisting all my troop commanders to join me in the building? From a tactical point of view, wouldn't it be better if they are outside with their men, to allow a swifter response in case of an attack?"
"The reason is already stated here, isn't it, or are you so blind that even that has eluded you?" The colonel replied clodly and continued, "Officers of 1st Lieutenant rank and above are to stay within the building to protect the VIPs."
"Without their weapons?!" Hayate blurted.
"Well, we still can't rule out the possiblity of mutiny, you know."
"This is insane! How will they be able to defend anyone against armed insurgents unarmed?"
Thompson's eyebrows twitched dangerously. "Watch it, Yagami. I do not tolerate such language from a junior officer. The plans have been reviewed and approved by the higher-ups, and they have found no problems with it." He glared ominously at her, "Who are you, then, to criticize their expert decision?"
Hayate glared back at him. The higher-ups? That would only mean Regius and his cronies, and they didn't give a damn to the obvious danger Scaglietti and his AMF-generating drones posed. And you expect me to trust their thinking?!
She controlled herself and went on, "In that case, sir, I request my unit to be left out of this operation. We are a strike-force that's only good at hunting down Lost Logia to begin with and passive guard duty is incompatible with our vocation..."
"Don't be too full of yourself, Yagami!" roared Thompson, slamming his fist on the table. "You may be from the Main Office, but never forget that your unit is now under our command! There will be no place for your childish antics! Unlike the Main Office and the Fleet, we in the Ground Command are professionals, and we will not tolerate such insolence! You have been given orders, so act on them! If you show any more signs of insubordination, prepared to be court-martialed! Do I make myself clear, Lt. Colonel!"
That's it. Hayate knew there was no more point arguing with him anymore. With a salute and "Please excuse me then, sir," she left Thompson's office in barely-restrained fury.
The colonel let his breath catch up with him before slumping back into his seat. He looked at his own copy of the plans and frowned.
Despite his dislike for her, being scum and all, he knew she was right. He himself had been a specialist in security measures long enough to see that the plans were full of loopholes. What's Regius thinking, coming with something like this?
As if the thought had summoned him, a transmission screen popped up, the General propped up in an armchair. "I heard that that criminal Yagami was with you a few minutes ago, Greg," Regius growled.
Thompson nodded, "Just like what you've said. Rebellious and quarrelsome. She's exactly like Graham and Nakajima."
Regius snorted derisively, "Scum and filth, all of them." He looked intently at his friend, "You did make sure that she'll do as commanded?"
Ah, that. Thompson nodded, but added in an unassured tone, "Regius, I've been thinking but this plan..."
"This plan is perfect, Greg. Or don't you trust me even?"
"No, but..."
"No buts. Greg, there's a reason why I'm where I am today. You shouldn't doubt me, pal, it's not good for you."
Thompson winced. The higher-rank card he had played was now being played back at him.
"Well, if you say so..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some pressing business to attend to..."
Regius ended the transmission to prevent anymore questions from Thompson. Indeed, everything would be fine. Why shouldn't it be so? Since both the attack and defense plans were written by him, and he had made sure that the script would not only help him dictate the views towards the Einherjar Project, but would also create a black mark in that criminal's book. Then he would seize the chance to turn the tables on the Main Office and that meddlesome Church.
What remains now was for that day to arrive...
Not good at all, I think. But I hope if things did happen this way, it would at least helped to make Hayate look less bad. Truth be spoken, I don't like to see my Queen being reduced to a laughing stock or punching bag for people frustrated over 7Arcs' lack of tactic sense :(.
And Regius gets more negative points for his arrogance on his own security and deployment :uhoh: Greg at least holds reasonable doubt for the deployment plan. Wonder how they'll see themselves after the GC attack? Hmmm...
IT'S DONE!!! :D
CARONO fans, rejoice :D

Greater Sustained Magical Enhancements, “Avatars.”
While most boost up spells in Nanohaverse are temporal, lasting only several seconds, or expiring after a single attack or spell, Gwendolyn is capable of using stronger and longer-lasting enhancements thanks to her seemingly unlimited energy. These enhancements have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy, but provide a constant boost up effect until they are dispelled or disabled by the caster.
Gwendolyn is capable of sustaining these types of spells because of the constant supply of energy her Relic provides her. Regular mages could definitely learn these spells, but the energy upkeep is so steep that they practically won’t be able to do much else in battle while maintaining the enhancements.
Only one Avatar can be cast on a single person at any time, though for Gwendolyn it is possible to maintain more than one Avatar on different recipients.
Under the effect of an Avatar enhancement, the recipient is engulfed with an aura of different colors, depending on the type of Avatar used.
The Avatars known to Gwendolyn so far are:
Avatar of Balthazar (Crimson aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in melee combat. Physical power (strength) increases; physical and magical defense increases; overall speed increases.
Balthazar's Rage [Magic Enhanced Attack-type Spell] – Enchants the user’s weapon with powerful Fire elemental energy.
Balthazar’s Willpower [Passive] – The crimson aura surrounding the user serves as a Field-type defensive magic, providing physical and magical defense.
Avatar of Lyssa (Pink aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in magical combat. Magic power increases; faster casting time.
Lyssa’s Twin Moons [Enhancement Spell] – Temporal ability to cast two spells at the same time.
Lyssa’s Thorns [Passive] – The white energy aura surrounding the user damages melee attackers.
Avatar of Grenth (Dark-Blue aura) – Designed to disrupt opponents. The user’s attacks disable target’s enhancements and barriers (one per attack); attacks deal cold damage and cause freezing.
Grenth's Grasp [Passive] – Melee attackers’ movement speed decreases because of the user’s cold aura.
Grenth’s Breath [Area-of-Effect-type Skill] – Allows the user to convert his or her energy into pure Ice elemental energy.
Avatar of Dwayna (Green aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness with support magic. Increases power and effectiveness of healing spells and other enhancement spells; provides self-regeneration of wounds; accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Dwayna's Blessing [Passive] – Healing and enhancements spells cast on allies while under the effect of Avatar of Dwayna have their powers and effectiveness increased.
Dwayna’s Faithful Intervention [Passive] – The warm green aura regenerates the user’s wounds and accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Avatar of Melandru (Dark-Yellow aura) – Designed to greatly increase the user’s overall defense. Physical and magical defenses greatly increase; greatly increase protection against hexes and other conditions (negative effects); increases effectiveness of defensive magic.
Melandru’s Meditation [Field-type Defensive Spell] – Temporarily further increases physical and magical defenses.
Melandru’s Tears [Shield-type Defensive Spell] – Creates a shield capable of reflecting a single energy beam or spell. The shield has to be re-cast to reflect another beam or spell.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 1
~~~
A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”
<In your current state, your body won’t be able to withstand such power! Besides…>
“I don’t care—!”
<Listen to me!>
“…”
<Look at her… that blue-haired girl… That’s what you call an android, right?>
“Yeah…”
<She hasn’t made her move yet… And neither has that blonde girl… Maybe we shouldn’t either, or things could get out of control…>
“Damn it…!”
<Let your friends handle this for now.> Emeralda finished, while she pondered… (Summoning Zophar’s powers in her current state could strain her body too much… Maybe I should summon them instead…)
~~~
“I won’t forgive you for this…” Gwendolyn glared at Oswald, her eyes filled with anger, while she thought that even though they have known each other since their days at Scaglietti’s facility, what he has done is unforgivable…
“Show me, then…what you are capable of!” The Dark Knight said, unsheathing his black sword.
From a distance, Anri, Oswald’s companion, who was still incredulous about Oswald’s actions, could not help but wonder what exactly Oswald and Gwendolyn’s relationship is. “Oswald, could it be that…” she said softly, “she doesn’t know about your feelings for her…?”
“Urusanai…!” Gwendolyn’s body was engulfed in fierce light blue-colored energy, and her light blue eyes glowed white, as her body became hot from the Relic’s sudden energy outburst.
While mages display their energy outbursts in form of magic circles when casting spells, Gwendolyn’s energy exceeds her body’s natural energy capacity and leaks out, covering her whole body.
~Oswald~
Impressive… I can even feel the pressure of the enormous amount of energy being emitted from her body…
Regularly, this amount of energy is only gathered by a collection-type spell or by the use of magic cartridges… but even then, the energy gathered is only temporal, and will probably be spent in casting a single spell…
But for Gwendolyn it is different… She can generate that amount of energy by herself… at any time… with her willpower alone…
Well, let’s see what she’s got.
I leaped towards her to slash her with my sword. “God of War and Fire… Balthazar,” she said, while I was getting closer to her.
[Avatar of Balthazar,] her staff followed, and her light blue overflowing energy suddenly turned blood red.
I swung my blade downward for a strike… but she did not even try to evade…
“W-What is this—?” I said, surprised, as she was able to block my blade with not just her left hand alone, but also bare-handed.
With my blade still pressing against her bare hand, I noticed how she was concentrating a lot of pure energy onto the palm of her hand.
Wasting this much energy just to block a sword… Though for her this probably doesn’t matter…
But what is this abnormal strength…?
I see… Her enhancements have reached yet another level…
With her seemingly unlimited energy, this type of greater enhancement can prove to be quite troublesome.
But not for me… “Dark—”
I didn’t even finish my incantation, and Gwendolyn fiercely pushed my sword away with a sudden burst of energy from the palm of her hand.
“Ether…Buster.”
Without having a second to react, she used her other hand and blasted me away with a very powerful, medium-sized energy beam, sending me crashing into a nearby wall.
“Ugh—” So that is why she blocked my blade like that…
Her expression hasn’t changed, her eyes steady and furiously glared at me, thinking of nothing but to defeat me.
That’s how it needs to be, Gwendolyn. In battle you cannot doubt, no matter the opponent.
And now that she is ready… I won’t hold back, either…
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 2
~Gwendolyn~
Oswald stood up, his brown eyes now glowing dark red, and his body was again engulfed in dark-purple energy.
To us Relic users, we can tell when we are activating our Relics when our eyes glow a different color…
And the fact that his body is surrounded by this overflowing energy only means that his Relic works similar to mine… It generates energy…
But… what is this energy…? Why does it feel…so…uncomfortable…?
I’ve never experienced this sensation before…
“Shadow Bolt.” As he lifted his left arm, Oswald cast a dark purple-colored lightning-looking spark at me.
The bolt struck a barrier I conjured up, and I thought I had neutralized the attack, but to my surprise the barrier… “W-What is this?” I said, as the magical barrier appeared to be melting…
I immediately pulled away, my eyes stared wide open, trying to figure out what was going on, as the barrier I left behind was dissipating in a very strange, unnatural way…
I can understand if a physical or elemental shield melts… but a magical barrier…?
Luckily, my Avatar of Balthazar provides me with constant field-type defense, so I was able to get away unharmed…
“Surprised?” I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him…
“Where is—?”
“Behind you, Gwendolyn!” I suddenly heard Natalia shouting.
“W-When did he—?”
“Dark Saber,” he said, and in an instant his sword was enchanted with this weird dark-purple energy.
I evaded his sword slash thanks to my improved speed, and his sword furiously struck the ground, breaking it to pieces… but the pieces of rock were disintegrated in mid air…
Just what in the world is this energy…?
“Ether Buster!” Now in mid-air, I launched another medium-sized beam at him.
But he didn’t try to evade it… What is he thinking?
His body now, again, covered by dark-purple energy, and his eyes glowing, he suddenly conjured up a dark-purple barrier just before getting hit…
This… it was not a barrier… it looks like…
He took my energy beam head on, and somehow… my energy beam was completely absorbed…
“W-What is going on…?” I questioned in disbelieve.
“Did you know, Gwendolyn, that there are other planes of existence beside our own?”
“…” What is he talking about…?
“This special energy I possess… this dark energy… is a type of energy not naturally present in our plane of existence,” he paused momentarily, since he noticed from the puzzled look on my face that I was not following what he was trying to tell me… “You could say that…this is the power of demons…”
“Demons…? That’s crazy. How do you expect me to believe—?”
“Listen to him, Gwendolyn!” A voice suddenly interrupted me. I was surprised, as it was Emeralda. “What he is saying is true. I don’t know how he managed to get such power, but I have seen it before, long ago when I was still alive…”
“So you have finally awakened, Emeralda,” Oswald said, to our surprise, as he now looked at Natalia.
“How did you—?” Natalia tried to question him…
“Kisama… How do you know me?!” Emeralda interrupted.
“We have been expecting your awakening.”
“‘We’…? Who are you talking about—?” Emeralda asked, puzzled, while I was wondering what was going on as well.
As far as I knew, Scaglietti did not know about Emeralda’s existence… So then…who…?
Oswald did not answer the question, and instead faced me again. “This is my Relic’s special ability… an ability quite opposite to yours,” Oswald continued, as he closed his eyes to ponder…
“…”
“… I know,” he continued, now looking at me again. “If your Relic is like a Star…forever shining radiantly with pure energy… then mine is like…a Black Hole…”
“A…Black Hole…?”
“Yes… It continuously drains energy… even my own…
However, it converts the drained regular energy into dark energy…”
“Kisama…” Emeralda spoke again, “how did you get a hold of that crystal?!”
“As expected from you, Emeralda, you already know what I’m talking about. Well, I personally didn’t get a hold of it… They did… You’ll know when the time comes… Right now—”
“… What’s that supposed to mean…?!” I asked. He has been evading our questions all this time… I just don’t understand what is going on…!
“… If you’re not able to beat me… then you don’t need to know!”
~~~
A special crystal that continuously drains energy…
While a regular mage would have died already, for a regularly-sized Linker Core would not be able to keep up with such continuous torture, Oswald’s Linker Core is capable of meeting the demanding upkeep.
He is not able to cast any regular spells because the crystal would absorb any amount of energy he tries to emit.
However, Oswald is able to use Dark Magic because the Relic does not only absorb energy, but also transforms it into dark energy, a different type of magical energy not naturally present in the human world. Due to the otherworldly nature of this energy, the spells and abilities that employ dark energy have increased effectiveness over dwellers of the human world, because they are not used to it.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 3
~~~
Iris gazed at Ashelyn, as the cute little girl appeared to be sleeping… The little girl’s life was not in danger, but her body was full of bruises and small cuts.
“Thank goodness…”
The silver-haired girl then stood up, facing Krynu, the mace-wielding Knight, once again. She moved away from Ashelyn’s body, so as not to involve the little blue-haired girl further.
Her thoughts wandered, as she suspected that the man’s ability is similar to her own.
The time she was suspended in mid air, she felt a lot of pressure; however, it was not wind pressure, like her own ability.
Particle Manipulation.
The ability to manipulate physical particles to certain extends… but to what extend, Iris thought.
“If you’re not going to start, I will…”
The Knight resumed his attack; again, a barrage of rocks was fired in Iris’ general direction.
The girl stood there, her determination could be seen and felt through her deep, crimson eyes, her inexplicable calmness gave out an aura of fear Krynu was not expecting… “W-What is she planning?”
Iris conjured up a shield, not too stronger than her last ones, but she was confident this time.
Few bullets hammered her shield, while most of the others hit the surrounding area.
That’s when Iris thought that, even though the barrage of rocks served their purpose: to pin the opponent down, they still lacked accuracy.
“Gale,” she conjured the same enhancement, her body again engulfed in gentle winds.
However, her movements were not the same—she moved almost twice as fast. The Knight’s eyes opened wide, as he suddenly lost sight of the silver-haired girl. “She was not this fast before… How did she—?”
“Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar),” she said softly, and fired several energy blasts from the tip of her glowing blade in the shape of crescent moons, as she swung her glaive a few times in rapid succession.
The wind blades surprised Krynu, since he did not know where they came from.
He protected himself with his giant mace, which’s head is almost as big as his own body, and he was surprised that the wind blades were extremely weak.
“D-Decoys—?!”
“That huge mace,” Iris said, now behind the green-haired, to his surprise, “seems pretty heavy,” she finished, as she, this time, charged up her energy and channeled it onto her glaive’s blade. “Kaze no Kizu!!”
This time she shouted the name of her attack, and a devastating energy wave moved towards the defenseless Knight, shattering the floor beneath as it moved forward, splitting the air in its way.
Krynu took the energy wave head on, parts of his Barrier Jacket shattering to pieces, his blood spilling out, as he was pushed back several meters until he was able to recover his balance.
But the girl’s attack was not over yet. She pushed on, closing her distance to the Knight once again, as she knew that, with such a huge mace, she would have the advantage in melee combat.
Her continuous slashes met the metal shaft of Krynu’s heavy mace, as he struggled to keep up.
Until the unexpected happened.
Krynu, with his dark-green eyes now glowing in a brighter tone of green, used his special ability on himself, accelerating his own body.
With his now lightning-fast reflexes, he was able to block and evade Iris’ continuous attacks, as he was now able to keep up with her speed.
And his giant mace, too, was accelerated by his particle manipulation ability, now moving as if it was as light as a small sword.
“W-What—?” Iris could not help but be amazed at how the Knight used his Relic ability, for she never thought about using her own ability, which she thinks is similar to the Knight’s, on her own self.
“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”
About Relic users:
The eyes of Relic users glow a different color to represent the activation of a power foreign to their natural bodies.
(Note: I may have missed a few occasions where I should have mentioned the eye color change, though I think I have been consistent since I started the fic.)
Not all Relic users have overflowing energy in the form of auras, only those who’s Relics produce so much energy that their bodies are not able to contain it all.About Oswald and Iris’ speeds, since both suddenly appeared behind their opponents:
Oswald actually used a spell to move that fast, named Shadow Step. With it, the user moves somewhat faster than with Sonic Move, since the user seems to teleport from one location to another; however, it can only be used where there are shadows. Also, just like Sonic Move, it cannot be used for long periods of time, just to move from one location to another.
Iris, on the other hand, is a speed type, and thanks in part to her enhancement spell, Gale, she moves at very high speeds, much like Fate. Obviously, though, her speed is not near as fast as Sonic Move.What Ashelyn really said at the very end:
“WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!”
:joke:
Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D
Ne, ne, Erio! D'ya have a spot on the front page for me yet?
Aaron008R
2007-08-28, 23:43
Not quite :heh: But then again, Aurion MIGHT just require their services after the mission :p:D
Ehhh?!:heh:
Hehe, finally I get this out. :)
The battle continues, and it is still far from over. ;) As this is an "introductory battle," I'm explaining various things, from special abilities to some background, and most importantly showing how my characters fight (at least a bit), thus it is being explained in detail.

Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 1
~~~
A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”
<In your current state, your body won’t be able to withstand such power! Besides…>
“I don’t care—!”
<Listen to me!>
“…”
<Look at her… that blue-haired girl… That’s what you call an android, right?>

I swung my blade downward for a strike… but she did not even try to evade…
“W-What is this—?” I said, surprised, as she was able to block my blade with not just her left hand alone, but also bare-handed.
With my blade still pressing against her bare hand, I noticed how she was concentrating a lot of pure energy onto the palm of her hand.
Wasting this much energy just to block a sword… Though for her this probably doesn’t matter…
But what is this abnormal strength…?
I see… Her enhancements have reached yet another level…
With her seemingly unlimited energy, this type of greater enhancement can prove to be quite troublesome.
But not for me… “Dark—”
I didn’t even finish my incantation, and Gwendolyn fiercely pushed my sword away with a sudden burst of energy from the palm of her hand.
“Ether…Buster.”
Without having a second to react, she used her other hand and blasted me away with a very powerful, medium-sized energy beam, sending me crashing into a nearby wall.
“Ugh—” So that is why she blocked my blade like that…
Her expression hasn’t changed, her eyes steady and furiously glared at me, thinking of nothing but to defeat me.
That’s how it needs to be, Gwendolyn. In battle you cannot doubt, no matter the opponent.
And now that she is ready… I won’t hold back, either…
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 2
~Gwendolyn~
Oswald stood up, his brown eyes now glowing dark red, and his body was again engulfed in dark-purple energy.
To us Relic users, we can tell when we are activating our Relics when our eyes glow a different color…
And the fact that his body is surrounded by this overflowing energy only means that his Relic works similar to mine… It generates energy…
But… what is this energy…? Why does it feel…so…uncomfortable…?
I’ve never experienced this sensation before…
“Shadow Bolt.” As he lifted his left arm, Oswald cast a dark purple-colored lightning-looking spark at me.
The bolt struck a barrier I conjured up, and I thought I had neutralized the attack, but to my surprise the barrier… “W-What is this?” I said, as the magical barrier appeared to be melting…
I immediately pulled away, my eyes stared wide open, trying to figure out what was going on, as the barrier I left behind was dissipating in a very strange, unnatural way…
I can understand if a physical or elemental shield melts… but a magical barrier…?
Luckily, my Avatar of Balthazar provides me with constant field-type defense, so I was able to get away unharmed…
“Surprised?” I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him…
“Where is—?”
“Behind you, Gwendolyn!” I suddenly heard Natalia shouting.
“W-When did he—?”
“Dark Saber,” he said, and in an instant his sword was enchanted with this weird dark-purple energy.
I evaded his sword slash thanks to my improved speed, and his sword furiously struck the ground, breaking it to pieces… but the pieces of rock were disintegrated in mid air…
Just what in the world is this energy…?
“Ether Buster!” Now in mid-air, I launched another medium-sized beam at him.
But he didn’t try to evade it… What is he thinking?
His body now, again, covered by dark-purple energy, and his eyes glowing, he suddenly conjured up a dark-purple barrier just before getting hit…
This… it was not a barrier… it looks like…
He took my energy beam head on, and somehow… my energy beam was completely absorbed…
“W-What is going on…?” I questioned in disbelieve.
“Did you know, Gwendolyn, that there are other planes of existence beside our own?”
“…” What is he talking about…?
“This special energy I possess… this dark energy… is a type of energy not naturally present in our plane of existence,” he paused momentarily, since he noticed from the puzzled look on my face that I was not following what he was trying to tell me… “You could say that…this is the power of demons…”
“Demons…? That’s crazy. How do you expect me to believe—?”
“Listen to him, Gwendolyn!” A voice suddenly interrupted me. I was surprised, as it was Emeralda. “What he is saying is true. I don’t know how he managed to get such power, but I have seen it before, long ago when I was still alive…”
“So you have finally awakened, Emeralda,” Oswald said, to our surprise, as he now looked at Natalia.
“How did you—?” Natalia tried to question him…
“Kisama… How do you know me?!” Emeralda interrupted.
“We have been expecting your awakening.”
“‘We’…? Who are you talking about—?” Emeralda asked, puzzled, while I was wondering what was going on as well.
As far as I knew, Scaglietti did not know about Emeralda’s existence… So then…who…?
Oswald did not answer the question, and instead faced me again. “This is my Relic’s special ability… an ability quite opposite to yours,” Oswald continued, as he closed his eyes to ponder…
“…”
“… I know,” he continued, now looking at me again. “If your Relic is like a Star…forever shining radiantly with pure energy… then mine is like…a Black Hole…”
“A…Black Hole…?”
“Yes… It continuously drains energy… even my own…
However, it converts the drained regular energy into dark energy…”
“Kisama…” Emeralda spoke again, “how did you get a hold of that crystal?!”
“As expected from you, Emeralda, you already know what I’m talking about. Well, I personally didn’t get a hold of it… They did… You’ll know when the time comes… Right now—”
“… What’s that supposed to mean…?!” I asked. He has been evading our questions all this time… I just don’t understand what is going on…!
“… If you’re not able to beat me… then you don’t need to know!”
~~~
A special crystal that continuously drains energy…
While a regular mage would have died already, for a regularly-sized Linker Core would not be able to keep up with such continuous torture, Oswald’s Linker Core is capable of meeting the demanding upkeep.
He is not able to cast any regular spells because the crystal would absorb any amount of energy he tries to emit.
However, Oswald is able to use Dark Magic because the Relic does not only absorb energy, but also transforms it into dark energy, a different type of magical energy not naturally present in the human world. Due to the otherworldly nature of this energy, the spells and abilities that employ dark energy have increased effectiveness over dwellers of the human world, because they are not used to it.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 3
~~~
Iris gazed at Ashelyn, as the cute little girl appeared to be sleeping… The little girl’s life was not in danger, but her body was full of bruises and small cuts.
“Thank goodness…”
The silver-haired girl then stood up, facing Krynu, the mace-wielding Knight, once again. She moved away from Ashelyn’s body, so as not to involve the little blue-haired girl further.
Her thoughts wandered, as she suspected that the man’s ability is similar to her own.
The time she was suspended in mid air, she felt a lot of pressure; however, it was not wind pressure, like her own ability.
Particle Manipulation.
The ability to manipulate physical particles to certain extends… but to what extend, Iris thought.
“If you’re not going to start, I will…”
The Knight resumed his attack; again, a barrage of rocks was fired in Iris’ general direction.
The girl stood there, her determination could be seen and felt through her deep, crimson eyes, her inexplicable calmness gave out an aura of fear Krynu was not expecting… “W-What is she planning?”
Iris conjured up a shield, not too stronger than her last ones, but she was confident this time.
Few bullets hammered her shield, while most of the others hit the surrounding area.
That’s when Iris thought that, even though the barrage of rocks served their purpose: to pin the opponent down, they still lacked accuracy.
“Gale,” she conjured the same enhancement, her body again engulfed in gentle winds.
However, her movements were not the same—she moved almost twice as fast. The Knight’s eyes opened wide, as he suddenly lost sight of the silver-haired girl. “She was not this fast before… How did she—?”
“Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar),” she said softly, and fired several energy blasts from the tip of her glowing blade in the shape of crescent moons, as she swung her glaive a few times in rapid succession.
The wind blades surprised Krynu, since he did not know where they came from.
He protected himself with his giant mace, which’s head is almost as big as his own body, and he was surprised that the wind blades were extremely weak.
“D-Decoys—?!”
“That huge mace,” Iris said, now behind the green-haired, to his surprise, “seems pretty heavy,” she finished, as she, this time, charged up her energy and channeled it onto her glaive’s blade. “Kaze no Kizu!!”
This time she shouted the name of her attack, and a devastating energy wave moved towards the defenseless Knight, shattering the floor beneath as it moved forward, splitting the air in its way.
Krynu took the energy wave head on, parts of his Barrier Jacket shattering to pieces, his blood spilling out, as he was pushed back several meters until he was able to recover his balance.
But the girl’s attack was not over yet. She pushed on, closing her distance to the Knight once again, as she knew that, with such a huge mace, she would have the advantage in melee combat.
Her continuous slashes met the metal shaft of Krynu’s heavy mace, as he struggled to keep up.
Until the unexpected happened.
Krynu, with his dark-green eyes now glowing in a brighter tone of green, used his special ability on himself, accelerating his own body.
With his now lightning-fast reflexes, he was able to block and evade Iris’ continuous attacks, as he was now able to keep up with her speed.
And his giant mace, too, was accelerated by his particle manipulation ability, now moving as if it was as light as a small sword.
“W-What—?” Iris could not help but be amazed at how the Knight used his Relic ability, for she never thought about using her own ability, which she thinks is similar to the Knight’s, on her own self.
“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”
About Relic users:
The eyes of Relic users glow a different color to represent the activation of a power foreign to their natural bodies.
(Note: I may have missed a few occasions where I should have mentioned the eye color change, though I think I have been consistent since I started the fic.)
Not all Relic users have overflowing energy in the form of auras, only those who’s Relics produce so much energy that their bodies are not able to contain it all.About Oswald and Iris’ speeds, since both suddenly appeared behind their opponents:
Oswald actually used a spell to move that fast, named Shadow Step. With it, the user moves somewhat faster than with Sonic Move, since the user seems to teleport from one location to another; however, it can only be used where there are shadows. Also, just like Sonic Move, it cannot be used for long periods of time, just to move from one location to another.
Iris, on the other hand, is a speed type, and thanks in part to her enhancement spell, Gale, she moves at very high speeds, much like Fate. Obviously, though, her speed is not near as fast as Sonic Move.What Ashelyn really said at the very end:
“WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!”
:joke:
Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D
Those Avatar spells are WIN!!!:D:D:D
I think we can implement these during the scenario where the girls will be saving Aurion's butt.:D
And the battle? I like where it's going! It's been a while since I've read a battle that's getting me really excited! MOAR!!!:D:D:D
And Oswald's ability is :twitch::twitch::twitch:!

Ne, ne, Erio! D'ya have a spot on the front page for me yet?
Aaron? Are you there?
dude... use the edit button
@Wibbles Dude, stop double posting, please... and not just that, those questions should have been asked using PMs. You're unnecessarily flooding the thread. :rolleyes: As for your question, dont worry, I'll probably be doing that tomorrow.
@FlameSparkZ Awesome job!
Not much criticism really needed.
If it was Aurion, he'd be reprimanding her along similar lines. But at least he wouldn't be that harsh (just a bit + silent&disappointed talk hurts more) and he at least won't lump her in with Regius' kind. But coming from him, it'll hurt more.:uhoh: It'll most likely leave Hayate quite upset.:heh:
Hayate's a commander who commands behind lines. It's in the job description. She couldn't have done much because she was limited. PLUS, if you kill her, the Wolkies can say goodbye.(A's SS3 confirmation) Asking her to go frontlines in her current condition is like asking your general to go to the crossfire naked.
I'm not saying that RF6 did a stellar job. Heck, they FAILED miserably. But I wouldn't go as far as dump all the blame on them seeing the even faultier chain of command above them (Regius). Sure, they didn't succeed. But what can you say for every frickin other people tasked to defend, THE MAIN PEOPLE TASKED TO DEFEND? They got pwned in short order and didn't even put up a fight.:rolleyes: What's annoying is that RF6 seems to be getting the big beef of accusations when they're not really that big of a group and considering the fact that they are not responsible for the basic security system. PLUS, they're up against a freakin army with little data about the enemy allocation. Higher firepower be damned, they can't handle thousands just like that!
About the no devices part, I understand that it was the Aces' plan to be inside. But it's the standard policy laid by the higher ups that prevented them from taking their devices with them. And as much as it sucks, the bigwigs ALWAYS get higher priority of defense.
Very good points, but at least what happened to RF6's HQ was partially her fault, since she should have left at least one of the 4 Aces (in my opinion Signum) to guard it.
VICTORY OVER IMAGE THREAD!!!!!!!!

And Oswald's ability is :twitch::twitch::twitch:!
Indeed, she can cast a protection Avatar on Aurion to increase his defenses, or another to regenerate wounds. :D
:eek: Thank you, Aaron-sama! :bow:
Regarding Oswald's Relic, there's an extensive background to it...though it'll be a while until I tackle that part. ;)

@Estavali For the Hayate RF6 thing, they shouldn't have an idea they were going to be targeted. However, I do think that RF6 itself, is flawed in many ways especially since it was set up as a against-all-odds task force. Honestly, it gives the impression they're trying to mix SERIOUS BUSINESS with pleasure, and the Aces come across as being OVERLY confident to the point of WTF. Honestly, If Doctor had twice the Numbers he has, RF6 is almost pretty much screwed.
If they had like you know... complete intelligence on Jail, I can understand that much, but to be dealing with ambiguity, they're not giving the impression they're really taking things VERY seriously. For military officers, they don't seem to have that flexible mindset that deals with the possibility of unprecedented changes and wtf unexpectedness on the battlefield.
Hell, Hayate would've died if Jail was serious on bombing GC sky high.
I'm not comfortable about the idea of leaving only support units to guard my castle. Our history has shown that those who had done that and came out alive/victorious, had mostly gambled with the odds and were just plain lucky to win the bet.
If Hayate had intended to do the same, obviously she was sorely disappointed. As would I when I empty my base for a assualt, only to have them dessimated (I'm a poor general :heh:) and the enemy cashing in on my resulting vulnerablity.
Well, you're right about nobody knowing everything (except maybe the Doc), but one strange thing is that despite RF6 calling for help from the nearest units, nobody seems to have responded.
One reason I can think of is that the higher-ups had ordered them to put all other duties except the GC assualt on standby. And it appears that RF6 doesn't have really good relations with the other GC units (except 108, whose CO is Hayate's mentor). So people might have thought, "Ahh, since they're so good, they can handle it themselves." :rolleyes:
Hmm? This smells like an idea!
What exactly do the people @ GC have against Hayate? The only thing I can think of is the YnS incident, and that happened years ago...
Narrowmindedness and prejudice. And maybe the grunts that the Knights took out were mainly from the GC, thus the hate :p. Who knows?
Greater Sustained Magical Enhancements, “Avatars.”
While most boost up spells in Nanohaverse are temporal, lasting only several seconds, or expiring after a single attack or spell, Gwendolyn is capable of using stronger and longer-lasting enhancements thanks to her seemingly unlimited energy. These enhancements have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy, but provide a constant boost up effect until they are dispelled or disabled by the caster.
Gwendolyn is capable of sustaining these types of spells because of the constant supply of energy her Relic provides her. Regular mages could definitely learn these spells, but the energy upkeep is so steep that they practically won’t be able to do much else in battle while maintaining the enhancements.
Only one Avatar can be cast on a single person at any time, though for Gwendolyn it is possible to maintain more than one Avatar on different recipients.
Under the effect of an Avatar enhancement, the recipient is engulfed with an aura of different colors, depending on the type of Avatar used.
The Avatars known to Gwendolyn so far are:
Avatar of Balthazar (Crimson aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in melee combat. Physical power (strength) increases; physical and magical defense increases; overall speed increases.
Balthazar's Rage [Magic Enhanced Attack-type Spell] – Enchants the user’s weapon with powerful Fire elemental energy.
Balthazar’s Willpower [Passive] – The crimson aura surrounding the user serves as a Field-type defensive magic, providing physical and magical defense.
Avatar of Lyssa (Pink aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in magical combat. Magic power increases; faster casting time.
Lyssa’s Twin Moons [Enhancement Spell] – Temporal ability to cast two spells at the same time.
Lyssa’s Thorns [Passive] – The white energy aura surrounding the user damages melee attackers.
Avatar of Grenth (Dark-Blue aura) – Designed to disrupt opponents. The user’s attacks disable target’s enhancements and barriers (one per attack); attacks deal cold damage and cause freezing.
Grenth's Grasp [Passive] – Melee attackers’ movement speed decreases because of the user’s cold aura.
Grenth’s Breath [Area-of-Effect-type Skill] – Allows the user to convert his or her energy into pure Ice elemental energy.
Avatar of Dwayna (Green aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness with support magic. Increases power and effectiveness of healing spells and other enhancement spells; provides self-regeneration of wounds; accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Dwayna's Blessing [Passive] – Healing and enhancements spells cast on allies while under the effect of Avatar of Dwayna have their powers and effectiveness increased.
Dwayna’s Faithful Intervention [Passive] – The warm green aura regenerates the user’s wounds and accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Avatar of Melandru (Dark-Yellow aura) – Designed to greatly increase the user’s overall defense. Physical and magical defenses greatly increase; greatly increase protection against hexes and other conditions (negative effects); increases effectiveness of defensive magic.
Melandru’s Meditation [Field-type Defensive Spell] – Temporarily further increases physical and magical defenses.
Melandru’s Tears [Shield-type Defensive Spell] – Creates a shield capable of reflecting a single energy beam or spell. The shield has to be re-cast to reflect another beam or spell.
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D
Pally Auras have come to the OC thread?!
Balthazar: Melee will love you.
Lyssa: Casters will love you.
Grenth: Holy Freeze?! :eek: Cool!
Dwayna: Shamal and the medics will love you.
Melandru: This is almost like Divine Shield :heh:.
Truth to be spoken, with her in the team, the chances of survival will be much higher, as well as that of victory. To quote Lowe: "Those Avatar spells are WIN!!! :D:D:D"
A question, will casting multiple Avatars have some kind of adverse effect on Gwendolyn? Also, how far will she be able to maintain them? Like will there be a case whereby the Avatar'ed person going too far out and the Avatar loses its effects?
*takes notes*

I'm here.
Very good points, but at least what happened to RF6's HQ was partially her fault, since she should have left at least one of the 4 Aces (in my opinion Signum) to guard it.
Of course I know that! Didn't I just say that Aurion would have scolded her a bit about that? However, I'm not sure if I can put it in or will I-n's keep Aurion too busy.:heh: Expect the worst, so to speak. I also think that switching Signum and Zafira's places qoule have proven better.
Indeed, she can cast a protection Avatar on Aurion to increase his defenses, or another to regenerate wounds. :D
Actually, I was thinking of pushing it further to have her cast the Avatar of Balthazar on him to take some pain to the remaining demons.:D It'll also be a good chance to showcase his future "Full External" mode.:D Gwen's a magic goldmine, right? There's plenty of power around to let him do a number without too much strain on his Linker Core.:heh:
:eek: Thank you, Aaron-sama! :bow:

The power of this thread is so powerful it sent my PC to hell...
No, I'm not kidding. (( I am on the thread part though )) If you don't see me posting (( much )) within these 2 days or something, it means that my PC is in the Satashi hell. Right now, I'm barely seeing this with the Task Manager. My desktop itself has gone kapoot. Thankfully, my harddrives are still functioning, but for how much longer, I don't know.
So, I'm in the process of backing up everything important before even the Task Manager dies, so wish me luck...
*sulks in the corner*
Ow, sucks to hear that. Hope you find a way to fix it. Either that or get another comp!
CELEBRATIONS!
And such. :D
@Gale: Damn, man. I just hope your hard drives can hang on. I hope the problem is resolved soon. :)
Now, time for a scene involving "good" V. It's about time we saw him again. Be warned though...as mentioned in one of his earlier snippets, he noted that he criticized Hayate and the higher ups...well, here's how he did so after the Ep 17 incident, and in a rather furious fashion.
It had been quite some time since the beleaguered unit that was Riot Force Six shifted their post to the Asura, one of the oldest of the Bureau's vessels.
Not much had been said. Most of the Forwards were silent, a deathly and disturbing pall of quietness casting itself over the interior of the ship, and Nanoha and Fate had been and still were conversing with Hayate about preparations to be made to counter the situation.
As the Lightning and Stars teams sat wordlessly, save for inaudible chatter amongst Vita and Signum, the doors at the other end of the bridge slid open. Footsteps echoed throughout the room and the other people present turned their heads towards the new arrival. It was V, who was moving with fast paces, almost threateningly, towards the trio of Aces.
"Ah, V!"
That was a cry from Nanoha. He chose not to produce a vocal response, instead only nodding his head. He strode impatiently over to Hayate, and tapped her shoulder.
"Excuse me, commander. If I would have a word?"
The Schwertkreuz owner turned to him with a look of confusion. "What is it? If it's important, you can-"
"No", the black-clad figure said, purposefully interrupting her. "No 'you can's', no 'ifs', no 'buts', no excuses." His face moved closer to that of the girl's, and his tone was welcoming with an underlying darkness that was unnoticeable. "I was hoping that you and I would..." He motioned to the doors through which he had entered. "...Have a little private chat. After all that's happened," he continued, firmly, "it is best to exchange words with the commander for advice, isn't it?"
Hayate paused a moment, then nodded in agreement. She walked alongside V until the pair disappeared behind the automatic door. The Stars and Lightning members sneaked behind them, standing just in front of it.
"What do you think the matter is?", Subaru inquired.
"How should I now?!", her partner, Teana, replied, making the blue-haired pugilist recoil slightly. Realizing her mistake, her tone softened. "But, if it's with the commander, then it's clearly a serious-"
There was a sound of steel ripping through the door, and the Forwards retreated yelling in fright as one of V's knives jutted through the metal plating. It was followed by an outburst that shocked even the Aces:
"What in the HELL were you thinking?!"
Hayate took several paces back away from the Fawkesian character, suddenly afraid- and with good reason.
"Well?", the man inquired, in tones of unbridled fury. "Should I wait for you to produce an apt excuse? Because we all know leading military figures are masterminds behind excuses!"
"I...I don't..." Hayate's voice was tinged with misunderstanding. "I don't know what you mean!"
"Oh, you know perfectly well what I mean", V retorted angrily. "I am referring to none other than the fiasco at the headquarters!" He slammed his fist against the wall. "Did you find it funny? Did you think it amusing?!"
The throats of each of the Forwards went dry, as all four of them stared in shock at the door, listening intently to the furore behind it.
"What do you-"
V was giving the outright puzzled commander no room for retaliation as he continued his verbal onslaught. "Allocating your forces so that you spread them thinly, so that you allowed an opportunity for an infiltration so easy that a child could have succeeded in attempting it. His tone shifted drastically, becoming bitter and sardonic. "Did you think that was the 'best course of action', hm? Did you?"
Hayate's tone suddenly became firm again, as she replied. [/I]"It was decided that it would be the optimum plan to-"[/I]
The next reply V gave was a bellow, brimming with nothing but anger and disdain.
"We are being BURIED under the avalanche of your INADEQUACIES, Commander!"
Sobs started from Caro's direction, coming out through intermittent shudders.
The masked one's retort came ever so close to stunning Hayate into silence.
"Inadequacies...?" He spoke barely above a whisper.
"Yes!", V exclaimed, harshly. "Below par, failures, substandard operations..." He slammed his fist against the wall once more for fierce emphasis.
"Inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies,"
Thump.
"inadequacies!"
Thump.
"And what's worse," he cried, ignoring the disbelieving look on the commander's features, "was that you had the gall to exclaim that everything would be under control. Had you used tactical planning, that might have been the case. What happened was your doing!" He pointed a gloved, accusative finger at her. "You and that conniving bastard Regius! We lost men out there, we have had members of this unit suffer severe injuries, and a girl under our own protection has been captured, along with a member of our own corps! Why? Because of you, and that rat of a general!"
Hayate took a step forward, defensively. "Don't even try to-"
"What?", he questioned, and replied laughing: "Insult him?" A man who has been in the Bureau for forty years, forty! And yet he cannot muster up simple thought up planning! He does not even come close to deserving the rank bestowed upon him!"
He paced over to Hayate, his very voice venomous to the brim and black as night. "And you...you're no commander."
That sentence was clearly audible to those outside, and it shocked them to the core. The Aces, Ritter and the Stars were staring wide-eyed in incomprehension as Erio tried to comfort Caro, who was on the verge of weeping openly.
"A commander..." V said, behind the wall.
"A commander..." He pointed at her yet again. "Knows how to make decisions. A commander uses planning to ensure that his or her troops and civilians affected by enemy action are safe. And what happened here?", he asked. "Everything went fine, didn't it?", he shouted, that sentence dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, we only had members of this unit severely injured and two of our own captured." He raised his hands in a carefree gesture, shrugging his shoulders. "Never mind that incident though, no! Aside from that, everything is fine. We have ample time to wait as our enemy plans for every mistake to resolve itself!"
V was breathing hard, and shook his head. "You're just like them...like those generals. Those self-centered generals sitting behind desks watching as soldiers go out and die, thinking that they're safe. Sure, a few words might speak daggers, harm your reputation, but you're safe, secured in your little cocoon." He spat in disgust.
"And you just relax, don't you? Whilst others are planning, fighting against what evils are abound, you're seated behind your desk twiddling your thumbs like some office worker. A fine example, don't you think?"
He about-turned, and started walking away from the silenced woman. He turned his head back, and spoke: "I used to hold you in high regard...'commander'...but now, I'm afraid that is a matter of debate.
He stormed off, cloak billowing behind him, leaving the commander to do nothing but merely look on in silent shock and disbelief.
I am pretty sure that I will run into a little bit of trouble. I know how old Hayate is, but if you are a commander, you're expected to make tactful decisions. Mobile Division Six, in some operations, isn't exactly known for bright plans. V has every right to scold her- he said that he was often critical of others. Despite him only being in the employ of the Bureau, he cares for his allies and those he must protect. He won't tolerate plans that are not thought out with a degree of carefulness.
And the fiasco at the HQ was Hayate's doing, in a way. If she had mobilized (I'm pretty sure that, even with the seminar room locked down, there was some way out. Heck, what about teleportation?), there would have been a stronger sense of command and cohesion amongst the forces. Alas, there wasn't, and it was their downfall.
Feel free to criticize me on this, I'm just stating what I think.
While I have no problems with V chewing Hayate out for what happened, More of that anger should be directed at Regius/HQ for the retarded plan of theirs. Not saying I'm disagreeing with your points, just something for you to consider as well.
Hmm, regarding this part, I sort of came with something (very rough stuff as of now) that I'm trying to fit in with the official story without distorting it too much:
Hayate looked at the security plan in her hands with undisguised disbelief.
"I believe the instructions are clear and simple, Yagami. Make sure your deployments are done by the dawn of the 2nd." Colonel Thompson made a dismissive waving, as if to dispel Hayate from his sight. "You're dismissed."
Hayate's look of disbelief turned from the sheets of paper in her hands to the man in charge of the Conference's security.
"Permission to speak, sir."
"What now?" Thompson's tone was unfriendly.
Hayate ignored the undisguised dislike and went straight to the point, "Sir, may I ask what is the reason for insisting all my troop commanders to join me in the building? From a tactical point of view, wouldn't it be better if they are outside with their men, to allow a swifter response in case of an attack?"
"The reason is already stated here, isn't it, or are you so blind that even that has eluded you?" The colonel replied clodly and continued, "Officers of 1st Lieutenant rank and above are to stay within the building to protect the VIPs."
"Without their weapons?!" Hayate blurted.
"Well, we still can't rule out the possiblity of mutiny, you know."
"This is insane! How will they be able to defend anyone against armed insurgents unarmed?"
Thompson's eyebrows twitched dangerously. "Watch it, Yagami. I do not tolerate such language from a junior officer. The plans have been reviewed and approved by the higher-ups, and they have found no problems with it." He glared ominously at her, "Who are you, then, to criticize their expert decision?"
Hayate glared back at him. The higher-ups? That would only mean Regius and his cronies, and they didn't give a damn to the obvious danger Scaglietti and his AMF-generating drones posed. And you expect me to trust their thinking?!
She controlled herself and went on, "In that case, sir, I request my unit to be left out of this operation. We are a strike-force that's only good at hunting down Lost Logia to begin with and passive guard duty is incompatible with our vocation..."
"Don't be too full of yourself, Yagami!" roared Thompson, slamming his fist on the table. "You may be from the Main Office, but never forget that your unit is now under our command! There will be no place for your childish antics! Unlike the Main Office and the Fleet, we in the Ground Command are professionals, and we will not tolerate such insolence! You have been given orders, so act on them! If you show any more signs of insubordination, prepared to be court-martialed! Do I make myself clear, Lt. Colonel!"
That's it. Hayate knew there was no more point arguing with him anymore. With a salute and "Please excuse me then, sir," she left Thompson's office in barely-restrained fury.
The colonel let his breath catch up with him before slumping back into his seat. He looked at his own copy of the plans and frowned.
Despite his dislike for her, being scum and all, he knew she was right. He himself had been a specialist in security measures long enough to see that the plans were full of loopholes. What's Regius thinking, coming with something like this?
As if the thought had summoned him, a transmission screen popped up, the General propped up in an armchair. "I heard that that criminal Yagami was with you a few minutes ago, Greg," Regius growled.
Thompson nodded, "Just like what you've said. Rebellious and quarrelsome. She's exactly like Graham and Nakajima."
Regius snorted derisively, "Scum and filth, all of them." He looked intently at his friend, "You did make sure that she'll do as commanded?"
Ah, that. Thompson nodded, but added in an unassured tone, "Regius, I've been thinking but this plan..."
"This plan is perfect, Greg. Or don't you trust me even?"
"No, but..."
"No buts. Greg, there's a reason why I'm where I am today. You shouldn't doubt me, pal, it's not good for you."
Thompson winced. The higher-rank card he had played was now being played back at him.
"Well, if you say so..."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some pressing business to attend to..."
Regius ended the transmission to prevent anymore questions from Thompson. Indeed, everything would be fine. Why shouldn't it be so? Since both the attack and defense plans were written by him, and he had made sure that the script would not only help him dictate the views towards the Einherjar Project, but would also create a black mark in that criminal's book. Then he would seize the chance to turn the tables on the Main Office and that meddlesome Church.
What remains now was for that day to arrive...
Not good at all, I think. But I hope if things did happen this way, it would at least helped to make Hayate look less bad. Truth be spoken, I don't like to see my Queen being reduced to a laughing stock or punching bag for people frustrated over 7Arcs' lack of tactic sense :(.
This is a good piece, demonstarting the retard's behind the orders. Although I do feel that more could have been done, since not all of the aces had to be inside at once.
IT'S DONE!!! :D
CARONO fans, rejoice :D
Here's my contribution to the cause :heh:
The Master comes again bearing gifts :D :D :D
EPIC!!!
Hehe, finally I get this out. :)
The battle continues, and it is still far from over. ;) As this is an "introductory battle," I'm explaining various things, from special abilities to some background, and most importantly showing how my characters fight (at least a bit), thus it is being explained in detail.
Greater Sustained Magical Enhancements, “Avatars.”
While most boost up spells in Nanohaverse are temporal, lasting only several seconds, or expiring after a single attack or spell, Gwendolyn is capable of using stronger and longer-lasting enhancements thanks to her seemingly unlimited energy. These enhancements have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy, but provide a constant boost up effect until they are dispelled or disabled by the caster.
Gwendolyn is capable of sustaining these types of spells because of the constant supply of energy her Relic provides her. Regular mages could definitely learn these spells, but the energy upkeep is so steep that they practically won’t be able to do much else in battle while maintaining the enhancements.
Only one Avatar can be cast on a single person at any time, though for Gwendolyn it is possible to maintain more than one Avatar on different recipients.
Under the effect of an Avatar enhancement, the recipient is engulfed with an aura of different colors, depending on the type of Avatar used.
The Avatars known to Gwendolyn so far are:
Avatar of Balthazar (Crimson aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in melee combat. Physical power (strength) increases; physical and magical defense increases; overall speed increases.
Balthazar's Rage [Magic Enhanced Attack-type Spell] – Enchants the user’s weapon with powerful Fire elemental energy.
Balthazar’s Willpower [Passive] – The crimson aura surrounding the user serves as a Field-type defensive magic, providing physical and magical defense.
Avatar of Lyssa (Pink aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in magical combat. Magic power increases; faster casting time.
Lyssa’s Twin Moons [Enhancement Spell] – Temporal ability to cast two spells at the same time.
Lyssa’s Thorns [Passive] – The white energy aura surrounding the user damages melee attackers.
Avatar of Grenth (Dark-Blue aura) – Designed to disrupt opponents. The user’s attacks disable target’s enhancements and barriers (one per attack); attacks deal cold damage and cause freezing.
Grenth's Grasp [Passive] – Melee attackers’ movement speed decreases because of the user’s cold aura.
Grenth’s Breath [Area-of-Effect-type Skill] – Allows the user to convert his or her energy into pure Ice elemental energy.
Avatar of Dwayna (Green aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness with support magic. Increases power and effectiveness of healing spells and other enhancement spells; provides self-regeneration of wounds; accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Dwayna's Blessing [Passive] – Healing and enhancements spells cast on allies while under the effect of Avatar of Dwayna have their powers and effectiveness increased.
Dwayna’s Faithful Intervention [Passive] – The warm green aura regenerates the user’s wounds and accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Avatar of Melandru (Dark-Yellow aura) – Designed to greatly increase the user’s overall defense. Physical and magical defenses greatly increase; greatly increase protection against hexes and other conditions (negative effects); increases effectiveness of defensive magic.
Melandru’s Meditation [Field-type Defensive Spell] – Temporarily further increases physical and magical defenses.
Melandru’s Tears [Shield-type Defensive Spell] – Creates a shield capable of reflecting a single energy beam or spell. The shield has to be re-cast to reflect another beam or spell.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 1
~~~
A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”
<In your current state, your body won’t be able to withstand such power! Besides…>
“I don’t care—!”
<Listen to me!>
“…”
<Look at her… that blue-haired girl… That’s what you call an android, right?>
“Yeah…”
<She hasn’t made her move yet… And neither has that blonde girl… Maybe we shouldn’t either, or things could get out of control…>
“Damn it…!”
<Let your friends handle this for now.> Emeralda finished, while she pondered… (Summoning Zophar’s powers in her current state could strain her body too much… Maybe I should summon them instead…)
~~~
“I won’t forgive you for this…” Gwendolyn glared at Oswald, her eyes filled with anger, while she thought that even though they have known each other since their days at Scaglietti’s facility, what he has done is unforgivable…
“Show me, then…what you are capable of!” The Dark Knight said, unsheathing his black sword.
From a distance, Anri, Oswald’s companion, who was still incredulous about Oswald’s actions, could not help but wonder what exactly Oswald and Gwendolyn’s relationship is. “Oswald, could it be that…” she said softly, “she doesn’t know about your feelings for her…?”
“Urusanai…!” Gwendolyn’s body was engulfed in fierce light blue-colored energy, and her light blue eyes glowed white, as her body became hot from the Relic’s sudden energy outburst.
While mages display their energy outbursts in form of magic circles when casting spells, Gwendolyn’s energy exceeds her body’s natural energy capacity and leaks out, covering her whole body.
~Oswald~
Impressive… I can even feel the pressure of the enormous amount of energy being emitted from her body…
Regularly, this amount of energy is only gathered by a collection-type spell or by the use of magic cartridges… but even then, the energy gathered is only temporal, and will probably be spent in casting a single spell…
But for Gwendolyn it is different… She can generate that amount of energy by herself… at any time… with her willpower alone…
Well, let’s see what she’s got.
I leaped towards her to slash her with my sword. “God of War and Fire… Balthazar,” she said, while I was getting closer to her.
[Avatar of Balthazar,] her staff followed, and her light blue overflowing energy suddenly turned blood red.
I swung my blade downward for a strike… but she did not even try to evade…
“W-What is this—?” I said, surprised, as she was able to block my blade with not just her left hand alone, but also bare-handed.
With my blade still pressing against her bare hand, I noticed how she was concentrating a lot of pure energy onto the palm of her hand.
Wasting this much energy just to block a sword… Though for her this probably doesn’t matter…
But what is this abnormal strength…?
I see… Her enhancements have reached yet another level…
With her seemingly unlimited energy, this type of greater enhancement can prove to be quite troublesome.
But not for me… “Dark—”
I didn’t even finish my incantation, and Gwendolyn fiercely pushed my sword away with a sudden burst of energy from the palm of her hand.
“Ether…Buster.”
Without having a second to react, she used her other hand and blasted me away with a very powerful, medium-sized energy beam, sending me crashing into a nearby wall.
“Ugh—” So that is why she blocked my blade like that…
Her expression hasn’t changed, her eyes steady and furiously glared at me, thinking of nothing but to defeat me.
That’s how it needs to be, Gwendolyn. In battle you cannot doubt, no matter the opponent.
And now that she is ready… I won’t hold back, either…
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 2
~Gwendolyn~
Oswald stood up, his brown eyes now glowing dark red, and his body was again engulfed in dark-purple energy.
To us Relic users, we can tell when we are activating our Relics when our eyes glow a different color…
And the fact that his body is surrounded by this overflowing energy only means that his Relic works similar to mine… It generates energy…
But… what is this energy…? Why does it feel…so…uncomfortable…?
I’ve never experienced this sensation before…
“Shadow Bolt.” As he lifted his left arm, Oswald cast a dark purple-colored lightning-looking spark at me.
The bolt struck a barrier I conjured up, and I thought I had neutralized the attack, but to my surprise the barrier… “W-What is this?” I said, as the magical barrier appeared to be melting…
I immediately pulled away, my eyes stared wide open, trying to figure out what was going on, as the barrier I left behind was dissipating in a very strange, unnatural way…
I can understand if a physical or elemental shield melts… but a magical barrier…?
Luckily, my Avatar of Balthazar provides me with constant field-type defense, so I was able to get away unharmed…
“Surprised?” I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him…
“Where is—?”
“Behind you, Gwendolyn!” I suddenly heard Natalia shouting.
“W-When did he—?”
“Dark Saber,” he said, and in an instant his sword was enchanted with this weird dark-purple energy.
I evaded his sword slash thanks to my improved speed, and his sword furiously struck the ground, breaking it to pieces… but the pieces of rock were disintegrated in mid air…
Just what in the world is this energy…?
“Ether Buster!” Now in mid-air, I launched another medium-sized beam at him.
But he didn’t try to evade it… What is he thinking?
His body now, again, covered by dark-purple energy, and his eyes glowing, he suddenly conjured up a dark-purple barrier just before getting hit…
This… it was not a barrier… it looks like…
He took my energy beam head on, and somehow… my energy beam was completely absorbed…
“W-What is going on…?” I questioned in disbelieve.
“Did you know, Gwendolyn, that there are other planes of existence beside our own?”
“…” What is he talking about…?
“This special energy I possess… this dark energy… is a type of energy not naturally present in our plane of existence,” he paused momentarily, since he noticed from the puzzled look on my face that I was not following what he was trying to tell me… “You could say that…this is the power of demons…”
“Demons…? That’s crazy. How do you expect me to believe—?”
“Listen to him, Gwendolyn!” A voice suddenly interrupted me. I was surprised, as it was Emeralda. “What he is saying is true. I don’t know how he managed to get such power, but I have seen it before, long ago when I was still alive…”
“So you have finally awakened, Emeralda,” Oswald said, to our surprise, as he now looked at Natalia.
“How did you—?” Natalia tried to question him…
“Kisama… How do you know me?!” Emeralda interrupted.
“We have been expecting your awakening.”
“‘We’…? Who are you talking about—?” Emeralda asked, puzzled, while I was wondering what was going on as well.
As far as I knew, Scaglietti did not know about Emeralda’s existence… So then…who…?
Oswald did not answer the question, and instead faced me again. “This is my Relic’s special ability… an ability quite opposite to yours,” Oswald continued, as he closed his eyes to ponder…
“…”
“… I know,” he continued, now looking at me again. “If your Relic is like a Star…forever shining radiantly with pure energy… then mine is like…a Black Hole…”
“A…Black Hole…?”
“Yes… It continuously drains energy… even my own…
However, it converts the drained regular energy into dark energy…”
“Kisama…” Emeralda spoke again, “how did you get a hold of that crystal?!”
“As expected from you, Emeralda, you already know what I’m talking about. Well, I personally didn’t get a hold of it… They did… You’ll know when the time comes… Right now—”
“… What’s that supposed to mean…?!” I asked. He has been evading our questions all this time… I just don’t understand what is going on…!
“… If you’re not able to beat me… then you don’t need to know!”
~~~
A special crystal that continuously drains energy…
While a regular mage would have died already, for a regularly-sized Linker Core would not be able to keep up with such continuous torture, Oswald’s Linker Core is capable of meeting the demanding upkeep.
He is not able to cast any regular spells because the crystal would absorb any amount of energy he tries to emit.
However, Oswald is able to use Dark Magic because the Relic does not only absorb energy, but also transforms it into dark energy, a different type of magical energy not naturally present in the human world. Due to the otherworldly nature of this energy, the spells and abilities that employ dark energy have increased effectiveness over dwellers of the human world, because they are not used to it.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 3
~~~
Iris gazed at Ashelyn, as the cute little girl appeared to be sleeping… The little girl’s life was not in danger, but her body was full of bruises and small cuts.
“Thank goodness…”
The silver-haired girl then stood up, facing Krynu, the mace-wielding Knight, once again. She moved away from Ashelyn’s body, so as not to involve the little blue-haired girl further.
Her thoughts wandered, as she suspected that the man’s ability is similar to her own.
The time she was suspended in mid air, she felt a lot of pressure; however, it was not wind pressure, like her own ability.
Particle Manipulation.
The ability to manipulate physical particles to certain extends… but to what extend, Iris thought.
“If you’re not going to start, I will…”
The Knight resumed his attack; again, a barrage of rocks was fired in Iris’ general direction.
The girl stood there, her determination could be seen and felt through her deep, crimson eyes, her inexplicable calmness gave out an aura of fear Krynu was not expecting… “W-What is she planning?”
Iris conjured up a shield, not too stronger than her last ones, but she was confident this time.
Few bullets hammered her shield, while most of the others hit the surrounding area.
That’s when Iris thought that, even though the barrage of rocks served their purpose: to pin the opponent down, they still lacked accuracy.
“Gale,” she conjured the same enhancement, her body again engulfed in gentle winds.
However, her movements were not the same—she moved almost twice as fast. The Knight’s eyes opened wide, as he suddenly lost sight of the silver-haired girl. “She was not this fast before… How did she—?”
“Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar),” she said softly, and fired several energy blasts from the tip of her glowing blade in the shape of crescent moons, as she swung her glaive a few times in rapid succession.
The wind blades surprised Krynu, since he did not know where they came from.
He protected himself with his giant mace, which’s head is almost as big as his own body, and he was surprised that the wind blades were extremely weak.
“D-Decoys—?!”
“That huge mace,” Iris said, now behind the green-haired, to his surprise, “seems pretty heavy,” she finished, as she, this time, charged up her energy and channeled it onto her glaive’s blade. “Kaze no Kizu!!”
This time she shouted the name of her attack, and a devastating energy wave moved towards the defenseless Knight, shattering the floor beneath as it moved forward, splitting the air in its way.
Krynu took the energy wave head on, parts of his Barrier Jacket shattering to pieces, his blood spilling out, as he was pushed back several meters until he was able to recover his balance.
But the girl’s attack was not over yet. She pushed on, closing her distance to the Knight once again, as she knew that, with such a huge mace, she would have the advantage in melee combat.
Her continuous slashes met the metal shaft of Krynu’s heavy mace, as he struggled to keep up.
Until the unexpected happened.
Krynu, with his dark-green eyes now glowing in a brighter tone of green, used his special ability on himself, accelerating his own body.
With his now lightning-fast reflexes, he was able to block and evade Iris’ continuous attacks, as he was now able to keep up with her speed.
And his giant mace, too, was accelerated by his particle manipulation ability, now moving as if it was as light as a small sword.
“W-What—?” Iris could not help but be amazed at how the Knight used his Relic ability, for she never thought about using her own ability, which she thinks is similar to the Knight’s, on her own self.
“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”
About Relic users:
The eyes of Relic users glow a different color to represent the activation of a power foreign to their natural bodies.
(Note: I may have missed a few occasions where I should have mentioned the eye color change, though I think I have been consistent since I started the fic.)
Not all Relic users have overflowing energy in the form of auras, only those who’s Relics produce so much energy that their bodies are not able to contain it all.About Oswald and Iris’ speeds, since both suddenly appeared behind their opponents:
Oswald actually used a spell to move that fast, named Shadow Step. With it, the user moves somewhat faster than with Sonic Move, since the user seems to teleport from one location to another; however, it can only be used where there are shadows. Also, just like Sonic Move, it cannot be used for long periods of time, just to move from one location to another.
Iris, on the other hand, is a speed type, and thanks in part to her enhancement spell, Gale, she moves at very high speeds, much like Fate. Obviously, though, her speed is not near as fast as Sonic Move.What Ashelyn really said at the very end:
“WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!”
:joke:
Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D
:D :D :D AWESOME!!!
I don't see any problems with the Avavtar system currently, although that could change once I get a better understanding of it.
I'm here.
Good, there are two things I need you for.
First: I had an idea about a third form for Doppleganger, but it would most likely require Dopp getting that human form from Aurion.
Second: You know how one of my characters became a cyborg? Should he get an IS? And if so, what would be good for him?
Wibbles, please stop double-posting like that. We only do it when it's necessary or a pure accident; these oneliners are considered spamming and can get you in trouble with the Mods if they see it. Skyfall comes here once in a while to spook us sometimes.
:eek: ... WOW... :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:
My brain just fried after reading all this... :eyespin:
Dunno how else to describe this. For..what..half an hour there I thought I was watching a movie. This OVA needs to be animated. :p
Lets see, what to comment about... I wonder how Kha met Sophia the assassin now. :heh:
"Kha almost threw a fit; Aurion was the exact splitting image of his ascended father!" LOL
I see you have yet to finish all the stuff from A's to StrikerS...
...But what's this stuff about Lambda Field Generators and...Phase Shift?! Are these regular defensive spells?! :twitch:Yeah haven't really finished, because all that involved tracking through everyone's profiles, and my brain was dying from the mad rush. :p. But basically Kha would come to meet a lot of the OCs, and some other unborn OCs not revealed yet. So I had to gloss over several points to be fair for now. :heh:
After StrikerS end, there's gonna be another release, and hopefully Artei's and Sophia's would be complete as well!
Those aren't defensive spells, but equipment built into his Knight Armor. I think I forgot to annotate that. :heh:
It's good... REALLY good - the only possible improvement that you could make would be to mention Arcas in the section AlternateS to StrikerS... :joke:I forgot the timing of meeting, and I was dead tired by then. The OVA chapter took a lot out of me, running the whole thing on fastforward then picking out the main points... :heh:
Hehe, finally I get this out. :)
The battle continues, and it is still far from over. ;) As this is an "introductory battle," I'm explaining various things, from special abilities to some background, and most importantly showing how my characters fight (at least a bit), thus it is being explained in detail.

A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”

“I won’t forgive you for this…” Gwendolyn glared at Oswald, her eyes filled with anger, while she thought that even though they have known each other since their days at Scaglietti’s facility, what he has done is unforgivable…
“Show me, then…what you are capable of!” The Dark Knight said, unsheathing his black sword.
From a distance, Anri, Oswald’s companion, who was still incredulous about Oswald’s actions, could not help but wonder what exactly Oswald and Gwendolyn’s relationship is. “Oswald, could it be that…” she said softly, “she doesn’t know about your feelings for her…?”
“Urusanai…!” Gwendolyn’s body was engulfed in fierce light blue-colored energy, and her light blue eyes glowed white, as her body became hot from the Relic’s sudden energy outburst.
While mages display their energy outbursts in form of magic circles when casting spells, Gwendolyn’s energy exceeds her body’s natural energy capacity and leaks out, covering her whole body.
~Oswald~
Impressive… I can even feel the pressure of the enormous amount of energy being emitted from her body…
Regularly, this amount of energy is only gathered by a collection-type spell or by the use of magic cartridges… but even then, the energy gathered is only temporal, and will probably be spent in casting a single spell…
But for Gwendolyn it is different… She can generate that amount of energy by herself… at any time… with her willpower alone…
Well, let’s see what she’s got.
I leaped towards her to slash her with my sword. “God of War and Fire… Balthazar,” she said, while I was getting closer to her.
[Avatar of Balthazar,] her staff followed, and her light blue overflowing energy suddenly turned blood red.
I swung my blade downward for a strike… but she did not even try to evade…
“W-What is this—?” I said, surprised, as she was able to block my blade with not just her left hand alone, but also bare-handed.
With my blade still pressing against her bare hand, I noticed how she was concentrating a lot of pure energy onto the palm of her hand.
Wasting this much energy just to block a sword… Though for her this probably doesn’t matter…
But what is this abnormal strength…?
I see… Her enhancements have reached yet another level…
With her seemingly unlimited energy, this type of greater enhancement can prove to be quite troublesome.
But not for me… “Dark—”
I didn’t even finish my incantation, and Gwendolyn fiercely pushed my sword away with a sudden burst of energy from the palm of her hand.
“Ether…Buster.”
Without having a second to react, she used her other hand and blasted me away with a very powerful, medium-sized energy beam, sending me crashing into a nearby wall.
“Ugh—” So that is why she blocked my blade like that…
Her expression hasn’t changed, her eyes steady and furiously glared at me, thinking of nothing but to defeat me.
That’s how it needs to be, Gwendolyn. In battle you cannot doubt, no matter the opponent.
And now that she is ready… I won’t hold back, either…
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 2
~Gwendolyn~
Oswald stood up, his brown eyes now glowing dark red, and his body was again engulfed in dark-purple energy.
To us Relic users, we can tell when we are activating our Relics when our eyes glow a different color…
And the fact that his body is surrounded by this overflowing energy only means that his Relic works similar to mine… It generates energy…
But… what is this energy…? Why does it feel…so…uncomfortable…?
I’ve never experienced this sensation before…
“Shadow Bolt.” As he lifted his left arm, Oswald cast a dark purple-colored lightning-looking spark at me.
The bolt struck a barrier I conjured up, and I thought I had neutralized the attack, but to my surprise the barrier… “W-What is this?” I said, as the magical barrier appeared to be melting…
I immediately pulled away, my eyes stared wide open, trying to figure out what was going on, as the barrier I left behind was dissipating in a very strange, unnatural way…
I can understand if a physical or elemental shield melts… but a magical barrier…?
Luckily, my Avatar of Balthazar provides me with constant field-type defense, so I was able to get away unharmed…
“Surprised?” I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him…
“Where is—?”
“Behind you, Gwendolyn!” I suddenly heard Natalia shouting.
“W-When did he—?”
“Dark Saber,” he said, and in an instant his sword was enchanted with this weird dark-purple energy.
I evaded his sword slash thanks to my improved speed, and his sword furiously struck the ground, breaking it to pieces… but the pieces of rock were disintegrated in mid air…
Just what in the world is this energy…?
“Ether Buster!” Now in mid-air, I launched another medium-sized beam at him.
But he didn’t try to evade it… What is he thinking?
His body now, again, covered by dark-purple energy, and his eyes glowing, he suddenly conjured up a dark-purple barrier just before getting hit…
This… it was not a barrier… it looks like…
He took my energy beam head on, and somehow… my energy beam was completely absorbed…
“W-What is going on…?” I questioned in disbelieve.
“Did you know, Gwendolyn, that there are other planes of existence beside our own?”
“…” What is he talking about…?
“This special energy I possess… this dark energy… is a type of energy not naturally present in our plane of existence,” he paused momentarily, since he noticed from the puzzled look on my face that I was not following what he was trying to tell me… “You could say that…this is the power of demons…”
“Demons…? That’s crazy. How do you expect me to believe—?”
“Listen to him, Gwendolyn!” A voice suddenly interrupted me. I was surprised, as it was Emeralda. “What he is saying is true. I don’t know how he managed to get such power, but I have seen it before, long ago when I was still alive…”
“So you have finally awakened, Emeralda,” Oswald said, to our surprise, as he now looked at Natalia.
“How did you—?” Natalia tried to question him…
“Kisama… How do you know me?!” Emeralda interrupted.
“We have been expecting your awakening.”
“‘We’…? Who are you talking about—?” Emeralda asked, puzzled, while I was wondering what was going on as well.
As far as I knew, Scaglietti did not know about Emeralda’s existence… So then…who…?
Oswald did not answer the question, and instead faced me again. “This is my Relic’s special ability… an ability quite opposite to yours,” Oswald continued, as he closed his eyes to ponder…
“…”
“… I know,” he continued, now looking at me again. “If your Relic is like a Star…forever shining radiantly with pure energy… then mine is like…a Black Hole…”
“A…Black Hole…?”
“Yes… It continuously drains energy… even my own…
However, it converts the drained regular energy into dark energy…”
“Kisama…” Emeralda spoke again, “how did you get a hold of that crystal?!”
“As expected from you, Emeralda, you already know what I’m talking about. Well, I personally didn’t get a hold of it… They did… You’ll know when the time comes… Right now—”
“… What’s that supposed to mean…?!” I asked. He has been evading our questions all this time… I just don’t understand what is going on…!
“… If you’re not able to beat me… then you don’t need to know!”
~~~
A special crystal that continuously drains energy…
While a regular mage would have died already, for a regularly-sized Linker Core would not be able to keep up with such continuous torture, Oswald’s Linker Core is capable of meeting the demanding upkeep.
He is not able to cast any regular spells because the crystal would absorb any amount of energy he tries to emit.
However, Oswald is able to use Dark Magic because the Relic does not only absorb energy, but also transforms it into dark energy, a different type of magical energy not naturally present in the human world. Due to the otherworldly nature of this energy, the spells and abilities that employ dark energy have increased effectiveness over dwellers of the human world, because they are not used to it.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 3
~~~
Iris gazed at Ashelyn, as the cute little girl appeared to be sleeping… The little girl’s life was not in danger, but her body was full of bruises and small cuts.
“Thank goodness…”
The silver-haired girl then stood up, facing Krynu, the mace-wielding Knight, once again. She moved away from Ashelyn’s body, so as not to involve the little blue-haired girl further.
Her thoughts wandered, as she suspected that the man’s ability is similar to her own.
The time she was suspended in mid air, she felt a lot of pressure; however, it was not wind pressure, like her own ability.
Particle Manipulation.
The ability to manipulate physical particles to certain extends… but to what extend, Iris thought.
“If you’re not going to start, I will…”
The Knight resumed his attack; again, a barrage of rocks was fired in Iris’ general direction.
The girl stood there, her determination could be seen and felt through her deep, crimson eyes, her inexplicable calmness gave out an aura of fear Krynu was not expecting… “W-What is she planning?”
Iris conjured up a shield, not too stronger than her last ones, but she was confident this time.
Few bullets hammered her shield, while most of the others hit the surrounding area.
That’s when Iris thought that, even though the barrage of rocks served their purpose: to pin the opponent down, they still lacked accuracy.
“Gale,” she conjured the same enhancement, her body again engulfed in gentle winds.
However, her movements were not the same—she moved almost twice as fast. The Knight’s eyes opened wide, as he suddenly lost sight of the silver-haired girl. “She was not this fast before… How did she—?”
“Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar),” she said softly, and fired several energy blasts from the tip of her glowing blade in the shape of crescent moons, as she swung her glaive a few times in rapid succession.
The wind blades surprised Krynu, since he did not know where they came from.
He protected himself with his giant mace, which’s head is almost as big as his own body, and he was surprised that the wind blades were extremely weak.
“D-Decoys—?!”
“That huge mace,” Iris said, now behind the green-haired, to his surprise, “seems pretty heavy,” she finished, as she, this time, charged up her energy and channeled it onto her glaive’s blade. “Kaze no Kizu!!”
This time she shouted the name of her attack, and a devastating energy wave moved towards the defenseless Knight, shattering the floor beneath as it moved forward, splitting the air in its way.
Krynu took the energy wave head on, parts of his Barrier Jacket shattering to pieces, his blood spilling out, as he was pushed back several meters until he was able to recover his balance.
But the girl’s attack was not over yet. She pushed on, closing her distance to the Knight once again, as she knew that, with such a huge mace, she would have the advantage in melee combat.
Her continuous slashes met the metal shaft of Krynu’s heavy mace, as he struggled to keep up.
Until the unexpected happened.
Krynu, with his dark-green eyes now glowing in a brighter tone of green, used his special ability on himself, accelerating his own body.
With his now lightning-fast reflexes, he was able to block and evade Iris’ continuous attacks, as he was now able to keep up with her speed.
And his giant mace, too, was accelerated by his particle manipulation ability, now moving as if it was as light as a small sword.
“W-What—?” Iris could not help but be amazed at how the Knight used his Relic ability, for she never thought about using her own ability, which she thinks is similar to the Knight’s, on her own self.
“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”
About Relic users:
The eyes of Relic users glow a different color to represent the activation of a power foreign to their natural bodies.
(Note: I may have missed a few occasions where I should have mentioned the eye color change, though I think I have been consistent since I started the fic.)
Not all Relic users have overflowing energy in the form of auras, only those who’s Relics produce so much energy that their bodies are not able to contain it all.About Oswald and Iris’ speeds, since both suddenly appeared behind their opponents:
Oswald actually used a spell to move that fast, named Shadow Step. With it, the user moves somewhat faster than with Sonic Move, since the user seems to teleport from one location to another; however, it can only be used where there are shadows. Also, just like Sonic Move, it cannot be used for long periods of time, just to move from one location to another.
Iris, on the other hand, is a speed type, and thanks in part to her enhancement spell, Gale, she moves at very high speeds, much like Fate. Obviously, though, her speed is not near as fast as Sonic Move.What Ashelyn really said at the very end:
“WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!”
:joke:
Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D:jawdrop:
Everytime you post a chap, its a BIG package! I wish I had my patience that I had when the thread first started... :heh:
Also, the Avatars are like Sophia's Aspects. You can guess them:
Aspect of the Saber
Aspect of the Lancer
Aspect of the Archer
Aspect of the Berserker
Aspect of the Caster
Aspect of the Assassin
Aspect of the Rider
Avenger: What about me?
I think they resemble Gwen's buffs as for Sophia, it involves imbuing herself with the essence of a Servant of a certain type, granting her abilities and aspects similar to the Servant. In other words, they are like "always on" self buffs that aid her varied combat styles, or roles she's fulfilling. Sophia can switch out from Aspect to Aspect quickly. This involvement of souls seem like a similar point.
Fighting Oswald is like fighting a vacuum... *takes note*
And :twitch: at Kaze no Kizu. :heh:
Artei: Here's my "HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY SPELL" SLASH!!! :D
Inuyasha: Oi. It's not yours in the first place...
:joke:
And Ashelyn going "ATASHI MO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!" should've been in there for the YokoGARness :D.
Not :joke: :D

Hehe, finally I get this out. :)
The battle continues, and it is still far from over. ;) As this is an "introductory battle," I'm explaining various things, from special abilities to some background, and most importantly showing how my characters fight (at least a bit), thus it is being explained in detail.

Greater Sustained Magical Enhancements, “Avatars.”
While most boost up spells in Nanohaverse are temporal, lasting only several seconds, or expiring after a single attack or spell, Gwendolyn is capable of using stronger and longer-lasting enhancements thanks to her seemingly unlimited energy. These enhancements have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy, but provide a constant boost up effect until they are dispelled or disabled by the caster.
Gwendolyn is capable of sustaining these types of spells because of the constant supply of energy her Relic provides her. Regular mages could definitely learn these spells, but the energy upkeep is so steep that they practically won’t be able to do much else in battle while maintaining the enhancements.
Only one Avatar can be cast on a single person at any time, though for Gwendolyn it is possible to maintain more than one Avatar on different recipients.
Under the effect of an Avatar enhancement, the recipient is engulfed with an aura of different colors, depending on the type of Avatar used.
The Avatars known to Gwendolyn so far are:
Avatar of Balthazar (Crimson aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in melee combat. Physical power (strength) increases; physical and magical defense increases; overall speed increases.
Balthazar's Rage [Magic Enhanced Attack-type Spell] – Enchants the user’s weapon with powerful Fire elemental energy.
Balthazar’s Willpower [Passive] – The crimson aura surrounding the user serves as a Field-type defensive magic, providing physical and magical defense.
Avatar of Lyssa (Pink aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in magical combat. Magic power increases; faster casting time.
Lyssa’s Twin Moons [Enhancement Spell] – Temporal ability to cast two spells at the same time.
Lyssa’s Thorns [Passive] – The white energy aura surrounding the user damages melee attackers.
Avatar of Grenth (Dark-Blue aura) – Designed to disrupt opponents. The user’s attacks disable target’s enhancements and barriers (one per attack); attacks deal cold damage and cause freezing.
Grenth's Grasp [Passive] – Melee attackers’ movement speed decreases because of the user’s cold aura.
Grenth’s Breath [Area-of-Effect-type Skill] – Allows the user to convert his or her energy into pure Ice elemental energy.
Avatar of Dwayna (Green aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness with support magic. Increases power and effectiveness of healing spells and other enhancement spells; provides self-regeneration of wounds; accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Dwayna's Blessing [Passive] – Healing and enhancements spells cast on allies while under the effect of Avatar of Dwayna have their powers and effectiveness increased.
Dwayna’s Faithful Intervention [Passive] – The warm green aura regenerates the user’s wounds and accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Avatar of Melandru (Dark-Yellow aura) – Designed to greatly increase the user’s overall defense. Physical and magical defenses greatly increase; greatly increase protection against hexes and other conditions (negative effects); increases effectiveness of defensive magic.
Melandru’s Meditation [Field-type Defensive Spell] – Temporarily further increases physical and magical defenses.
Melandru’s Tears [Shield-type Defensive Spell] – Creates a shield capable of reflecting a single energy beam or spell. The shield has to be re-cast to reflect another beam or spell.

A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”
<In your current state, your body won’t be able to withstand such power! Besides…>
“I don’t care—!”
<Listen to me!>
“…”
<Look at her… that blue-haired girl… That’s what you call an android, right?>
“Yeah…”
<She hasn’t made her move yet… And neither has that blonde girl… Maybe we shouldn’t either, or things could get out of control…>
“Damn it…!”
<Let your friends handle this for now.> Emeralda finished, while she pondered… (Summoning Zophar’s powers in her current state could strain her body too much… Maybe I should summon them instead…)

“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”
About Relic users:
The eyes of Relic users glow a different color to represent the activation of a power foreign to their natural bodies.
(Note: I may have missed a few occasions where I should have mentioned the eye color change, though I think I have been consistent since I started the fic.)
Not all Relic users have overflowing energy in the form of auras, only those who’s Relics produce so much energy that their bodies are not able to contain it all.About Oswald and Iris’ speeds, since both suddenly appeared behind their opponents:
Oswald actually used a spell to move that fast, named Shadow Step. With it, the user moves somewhat faster than with Sonic Move, since the user seems to teleport from one location to another; however, it can only be used where there are shadows. Also, just like Sonic Move, it cannot be used for long periods of time, just to move from one location to another.
Iris, on the other hand, is a speed type, and thanks in part to her enhancement spell, Gale, she moves at very high speeds, much like Fate. Obviously, though, her speed is not near as fast as Sonic Move.What Ashelyn really said at the very end:
“WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!”
:joke:
Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?

I may be wrong but I'm smelling/sensing some warcraft overload xD

Good, there are two things I need you for.
First: I had an idea about a third form for Doppleganger, but it would most likely require Dopp getting that human form from Aurion.
Second: You know how one of my characters became a cyborg? Should he get an IS? And if so, what would be good for him?
1) A humanoid form will be slightly difficult to do right away. For now, Aurion can give Dopp and external apparatus for projecting a holographic image. Or give Hikaru an extra data card that cna allow Dopp to take such a form that can project such an image.
2) IS = Recoil Boost = Think Zero's Recoil Rod from MMZ3.
Also, the Avatars are like Sophia's Aspects. You can guess them:
Aspect of the Saber
Aspect of the Lancer
Aspect of the Archer
Aspect of the Berserker
Aspect of the Caster
Aspect of the Assassin
Aspect of the Rider
Avenger: What about me?
I think they resemble Gwen's buffs as for Sophia, it involves imbuing herself with the essence of a Servant of a certain type, granting her abilities and aspects similar to the Servant. In other words, they are like "always on" self buffs that aid her varied combat styles, or roles she's fulfilling. Sophia can switch out from Aspect to Aspect quickly. This involvement of souls seem like a similar point.
No nerf?:heh:
EDIT: I've just read DaemonJaeger!:eek:
All I can say is it's full of BLUECHEESIUM EPICNESS!!!
:bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow: :bow:
No nerf?:heh:Sakura would still pwnz Saber Sophia, be it equiped with Noble Illusions or not. Think of it as a human trying to emulate a Servant; its just the Essence of a Servant, and mana volume and output is still dependent on Sophia's human limit. So no nerf. :D
And glad to have been of service. :3

Hmm... maybe Vivio isn't the only one who needs repairing...
*Thinks of ways to bring Hayate back to glory*
Someone (arkhangelsk, I think) mentioned that Hayate put up a good show back in #2, with professionalism and all. After that her record in the anime so far has been pretty bleak.
Actually, a lot of things can do for repairing, honestly. Like this whole Jail-hate thing Fate has going. I can understand her hating types like him, but honestly, the emotional investment into it feels really forced. Same with Erio. I mean, he's a Project F remnant for the sake of it? WTF? What about the whole Hayate-as-a-tool subplot that was hinted? HELLO?
I think one reason why StrikerS feels lackluster is because the manga and early episodes hint and promises a lot of things for the characters, but 80% of all those aspects come across as being there just for the sake of it, with little substance, and having no impact.
ICHIGEKI HISSATSU!
After a mad dash through the night, IT IS DONE!

56 pages, 40 MB, with new material for everyone, even the Veterans... After all that, I still don't believe I managed to reach this stage... Thanks to everyone for this wonderful journey. Now to BREAK MORE HEAVENS, TOGETHER! :D :D :D :D
I understand that this is a rushed piece of work, so there are bound to be errors. Please tell me if you do spot one, I'll fix it up once I see it. :3
:heh:
I'd comment if I can download it, but for now, take my earlier 80% comment first. I'll see it once I get everything back to normal.
Hmm, regarding this part, I sort of came with something (very rough stuff as of now) that I'm trying to fit in with the official story without distorting it too much:
Not good at all, I think. But I hope if things did happen this way, it would at least helped to make Hayate look less bad. Truth be spoken, I don't like to see my Queen being reduced to a laughing stock or punching bag for people frustrated over 7Arcs' lack of tactic sense :(.
To be fair, Hayate, Nanoha and Fate are shown to be ridiculously overconfident and mildly stupid too the week before that incident. Ego much? :eyespin:
"Kitto...Daijobu." What confident words at something they know NOTHING about. If it was a whole platoon of TSAB's most elites of elites, then maybe there was some ground to be confident, but with only 5 legitly powerful hardhitters... No offense, I'm trying to pretend they never said those words. :heh:
IT'S DONE!!! :D
CARONO fans, rejoice :D

Greater Sustained Magical Enhancements, “Avatars.”
While most boost up spells in Nanohaverse are temporal, lasting only several seconds, or expiring after a single attack or spell, Gwendolyn is capable of using stronger and longer-lasting enhancements thanks to her seemingly unlimited energy. These enhancements have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy, but provide a constant boost up effect until they are dispelled or disabled by the caster.
Gwendolyn is capable of sustaining these types of spells because of the constant supply of energy her Relic provides her. Regular mages could definitely learn these spells, but the energy upkeep is so steep that they practically won’t be able to do much else in battle while maintaining the enhancements.
Only one Avatar can be cast on a single person at any time, though for Gwendolyn it is possible to maintain more than one Avatar on different recipients.
Under the effect of an Avatar enhancement, the recipient is engulfed with an aura of different colors, depending on the type of Avatar used.
The Avatars known to Gwendolyn so far are:
Avatar of Balthazar (Crimson aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in melee combat. Physical power (strength) increases; physical and magical defense increases; overall speed increases.
Balthazar's Rage [Magic Enhanced Attack-type Spell] – Enchants the user’s weapon with powerful Fire elemental energy.
Balthazar’s Willpower [Passive] – The crimson aura surrounding the user serves as a Field-type defensive magic, providing physical and magical defense.
Avatar of Lyssa (Pink aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in magical combat. Magic power increases; faster casting time.
Lyssa’s Twin Moons [Enhancement Spell] – Temporal ability to cast two spells at the same time.
Lyssa’s Thorns [Passive] – The white energy aura surrounding the user damages melee attackers.
Avatar of Grenth (Dark-Blue aura) – Designed to disrupt opponents. The user’s attacks disable target’s enhancements and barriers (one per attack); attacks deal cold damage and cause freezing.
Grenth's Grasp [Passive] – Melee attackers’ movement speed decreases because of the user’s cold aura.
Grenth’s Breath [Area-of-Effect-type Skill] – Allows the user to convert his or her energy into pure Ice elemental energy.
Avatar of Dwayna (Green aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness with support magic. Increases power and effectiveness of healing spells and other enhancement spells; provides self-regeneration of wounds; accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Dwayna's Blessing [Passive] – Healing and enhancements spells cast on allies while under the effect of Avatar of Dwayna have their powers and effectiveness increased.
Dwayna’s Faithful Intervention [Passive] – The warm green aura regenerates the user’s wounds and accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Avatar of Melandru (Dark-Yellow aura) – Designed to greatly increase the user’s overall defense. Physical and magical defenses greatly increase; greatly increase protection against hexes and other conditions (negative effects); increases effectiveness of defensive magic.
Melandru’s Meditation [Field-type Defensive Spell] – Temporarily further increases physical and magical defenses.
Melandru’s Tears [Shield-type Defensive Spell] – Creates a shield capable of reflecting a single energy beam or spell. The shield has to be re-cast to reflect another beam or spell.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 1
~~~
A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”
<In your current state, your body won’t be able to withstand such power! Besides…>
“I don’t care—!”
<Listen to me!>
“…”
<Look at her… that blue-haired girl… That’s what you call an android, right?>
“Yeah…”
<She hasn’t made her move yet… And neither has that blonde girl… Maybe we shouldn’t either, or things could get out of control…>
“Damn it…!”
<Let your friends handle this for now.> Emeralda finished, while she pondered… (Summoning Zophar’s powers in her current state could strain her body too much… Maybe I should summon them instead…)
~~~
“I won’t forgive you for this…” Gwendolyn glared at Oswald, her eyes filled with anger, while she thought that even though they have known each other since their days at Scaglietti’s facility, what he has done is unforgivable…
“Show me, then…what you are capable of!” The Dark Knight said, unsheathing his black sword.
From a distance, Anri, Oswald’s companion, who was still incredulous about Oswald’s actions, could not help but wonder what exactly Oswald and Gwendolyn’s relationship is. “Oswald, could it be that…” she said softly, “she doesn’t know about your feelings for her…?”
“Urusanai…!” Gwendolyn’s body was engulfed in fierce light blue-colored energy, and her light blue eyes glowed white, as her body became hot from the Relic’s sudden energy outburst.
While mages display their energy outbursts in form of magic circles when casting spells, Gwendolyn’s energy exceeds her body’s natural energy capacity and leaks out, covering her whole body.
~Oswald~
Impressive… I can even feel the pressure of the enormous amount of energy being emitted from her body…
Regularly, this amount of energy is only gathered by a collection-type spell or by the use of magic cartridges… but even then, the energy gathered is only temporal, and will probably be spent in casting a single spell…
But for Gwendolyn it is different… She can generate that amount of energy by herself… at any time… with her willpower alone…
Well, let’s see what she’s got.
I leaped towards her to slash her with my sword. “God of War and Fire… Balthazar,” she said, while I was getting closer to her.
[Avatar of Balthazar,] her staff followed, and her light blue overflowing energy suddenly turned blood red.
I swung my blade downward for a strike… but she did not even try to evade…
“W-What is this—?” I said, surprised, as she was able to block my blade with not just her left hand alone, but also bare-handed.
With my blade still pressing against her bare hand, I noticed how she was concentrating a lot of pure energy onto the palm of her hand.
Wasting this much energy just to block a sword… Though for her this probably doesn’t matter…
But what is this abnormal strength…?
I see… Her enhancements have reached yet another level…
With her seemingly unlimited energy, this type of greater enhancement can prove to be quite troublesome.
But not for me… “Dark—”
I didn’t even finish my incantation, and Gwendolyn fiercely pushed my sword away with a sudden burst of energy from the palm of her hand.
“Ether…Buster.”
Without having a second to react, she used her other hand and blasted me away with a very powerful, medium-sized energy beam, sending me crashing into a nearby wall.
“Ugh—” So that is why she blocked my blade like that…
Her expression hasn’t changed, her eyes steady and furiously glared at me, thinking of nothing but to defeat me.
That’s how it needs to be, Gwendolyn. In battle you cannot doubt, no matter the opponent.
And now that she is ready… I won’t hold back, either…
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 2
~Gwendolyn~
Oswald stood up, his brown eyes now glowing dark red, and his body was again engulfed in dark-purple energy.
To us Relic users, we can tell when we are activating our Relics when our eyes glow a different color…
And the fact that his body is surrounded by this overflowing energy only means that his Relic works similar to mine… It generates energy…
But… what is this energy…? Why does it feel…so…uncomfortable…?
I’ve never experienced this sensation before…
“Shadow Bolt.” As he lifted his left arm, Oswald cast a dark purple-colored lightning-looking spark at me.
The bolt struck a barrier I conjured up, and I thought I had neutralized the attack, but to my surprise the barrier… “W-What is this?” I said, as the magical barrier appeared to be melting…
I immediately pulled away, my eyes stared wide open, trying to figure out what was going on, as the barrier I left behind was dissipating in a very strange, unnatural way…
I can understand if a physical or elemental shield melts… but a magical barrier…?
Luckily, my Avatar of Balthazar provides me with constant field-type defense, so I was able to get away unharmed…
“Surprised?” I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him…
“Where is—?”
“Behind you, Gwendolyn!” I suddenly heard Natalia shouting.
“W-When did he—?”
“Dark Saber,” he said, and in an instant his sword was enchanted with this weird dark-purple energy.
I evaded his sword slash thanks to my improved speed, and his sword furiously struck the ground, breaking it to pieces… but the pieces of rock were disintegrated in mid air…
Just what in the world is this energy…?
“Ether Buster!” Now in mid-air, I launched another medium-sized beam at him.
But he didn’t try to evade it… What is he thinking?
His body now, again, covered by dark-purple energy, and his eyes glowing, he suddenly conjured up a dark-purple barrier just before getting hit…
This… it was not a barrier… it looks like…
He took my energy beam head on, and somehow… my energy beam was completely absorbed…
“W-What is going on…?” I questioned in disbelieve.
“Did you know, Gwendolyn, that there are other planes of existence beside our own?”
“…” What is he talking about…?
“This special energy I possess… this dark energy… is a type of energy not naturally present in our plane of existence,” he paused momentarily, since he noticed from the puzzled look on my face that I was not following what he was trying to tell me… “You could say that…this is the power of demons…”
“Demons…? That’s crazy. How do you expect me to believe—?”
“Listen to him, Gwendolyn!” A voice suddenly interrupted me. I was surprised, as it was Emeralda. “What he is saying is true. I don’t know how he managed to get such power, but I have seen it before, long ago when I was still alive…”
“So you have finally awakened, Emeralda,” Oswald said, to our surprise, as he now looked at Natalia.
“How did you—?” Natalia tried to question him…
“Kisama… How do you know me?!” Emeralda interrupted.
“We have been expecting your awakening.”
“‘We’…? Who are you talking about—?” Emeralda asked, puzzled, while I was wondering what was going on as well.
As far as I knew, Scaglietti did not know about Emeralda’s existence… So then…who…?
Oswald did not answer the question, and instead faced me again. “This is my Relic’s special ability… an ability quite opposite to yours,” Oswald continued, as he closed his eyes to ponder…
“…”
“… I know,” he continued, now looking at me again. “If your Relic is like a Star…forever shining radiantly with pure energy… then mine is like…a Black Hole…”
“A…Black Hole…?”
“Yes… It continuously drains energy… even my own…
However, it converts the drained regular energy into dark energy…”
“Kisama…” Emeralda spoke again, “how did you get a hold of that crystal?!”
“As expected from you, Emeralda, you already know what I’m talking about. Well, I personally didn’t get a hold of it… They did… You’ll know when the time comes… Right now—”
“… What’s that supposed to mean…?!” I asked. He has been evading our questions all this time… I just don’t understand what is going on…!
“… If you’re not able to beat me… then you don’t need to know!”
~~~
A special crystal that continuously drains energy…
While a regular mage would have died already, for a regularly-sized Linker Core would not be able to keep up with such continuous torture, Oswald’s Linker Core is capable of meeting the demanding upkeep.
He is not able to cast any regular spells because the crystal would absorb any amount of energy he tries to emit.
However, Oswald is able to use Dark Magic because the Relic does not only absorb energy, but also transforms it into dark energy, a different type of magical energy not naturally present in the human world. Due to the otherworldly nature of this energy, the spells and abilities that employ dark energy have increased effectiveness over dwellers of the human world, because they are not used to it.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 3
~~~
Iris gazed at Ashelyn, as the cute little girl appeared to be sleeping… The little girl’s life was not in danger, but her body was full of bruises and small cuts.
“Thank goodness…”
The silver-haired girl then stood up, facing Krynu, the mace-wielding Knight, once again. She moved away from Ashelyn’s body, so as not to involve the little blue-haired girl further.
Her thoughts wandered, as she suspected that the man’s ability is similar to her own.
The time she was suspended in mid air, she felt a lot of pressure; however, it was not wind pressure, like her own ability.
Particle Manipulation.
The ability to manipulate physical particles to certain extends… but to what extend, Iris thought.
“If you’re not going to start, I will…”
The Knight resumed his attack; again, a barrage of rocks was fired in Iris’ general direction.
The girl stood there, her determination could be seen and felt through her deep, crimson eyes, her inexplicable calmness gave out an aura of fear Krynu was not expecting… “W-What is she planning?”
Iris conjured up a shield, not too stronger than her last ones, but she was confident this time.
Few bullets hammered her shield, while most of the others hit the surrounding area.
That’s when Iris thought that, even though the barrage of rocks served their purpose: to pin the opponent down, they still lacked accuracy.
“Gale,” she conjured the same enhancement, her body again engulfed in gentle winds.
However, her movements were not the same—she moved almost twice as fast. The Knight’s eyes opened wide, as he suddenly lost sight of the silver-haired girl. “She was not this fast before… How did she—?”
“Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar),” she said softly, and fired several energy blasts from the tip of her glowing blade in the shape of crescent moons, as she swung her glaive a few times in rapid succession.
The wind blades surprised Krynu, since he did not know where they came from.
He protected himself with his giant mace, which’s head is almost as big as his own body, and he was surprised that the wind blades were extremely weak.
“D-Decoys—?!”
“That huge mace,” Iris said, now behind the green-haired, to his surprise, “seems pretty heavy,” she finished, as she, this time, charged up her energy and channeled it onto her glaive’s blade. “Kaze no Kizu!!”
This time she shouted the name of her attack, and a devastating energy wave moved towards the defenseless Knight, shattering the floor beneath as it moved forward, splitting the air in its way.
Krynu took the energy wave head on, parts of his Barrier Jacket shattering to pieces, his blood spilling out, as he was pushed back several meters until he was able to recover his balance.
But the girl’s attack was not over yet. She pushed on, closing her distance to the Knight once again, as she knew that, with such a huge mace, she would have the advantage in melee combat.
Her continuous slashes met the metal shaft of Krynu’s heavy mace, as he struggled to keep up.
Until the unexpected happened.
Krynu, with his dark-green eyes now glowing in a brighter tone of green, used his special ability on himself, accelerating his own body.
With his now lightning-fast reflexes, he was able to block and evade Iris’ continuous attacks, as he was now able to keep up with her speed.
And his giant mace, too, was accelerated by his particle manipulation ability, now moving as if it was as light as a small sword.
“W-What—?” Iris could not help but be amazed at how the Knight used his Relic ability, for she never thought about using her own ability, which she thinks is similar to the Knight’s, on her own self.
“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”

Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D
Holy shit!? Black Hole!?
The Avatar spells, powerful as they are, are quite nice, but Oswald...damn. :eyespin:
Thankfully there's a limit behind it, but regardless, a powerful power indeed. Makes me wonder what would happen if he teamed with Gaea... :uhoh:
I'm not comfortable about the idea of leaving only support units to guard my castle. Our history has shown that those who had done that and came out alive/victorious, had mostly gambled with the odds and were just plain lucky to win the bet.
I call it the case of RF6 not being prepared personnel-wise for what they were set up for.
The scale of their job, and the scale of their forces, obviously clashed greatly. The fact that a whole fleet was sent due to the Cradle threat is obvious proof how much things had been beyond RF6 to begin with. I mean, a small task-force for a prophecy that talked about the collapse of an entire DIVISION's central headquarters, and the possible destruction of an entire NAVY FLEET?
Anyway, it depends really. It makes one wonder how far Quattro's electronic-warfare damaged the communication, interception and stuff. Besides, even if RF6 can get help from other units, the fact that Ground is currently struggling while a bunch of B+ to As are almost like Aces in that situation since they're the only ones with AMF experience makes Ground grunts look really laughable.
Pally Auras have come to the OC thread?!
Balthazar: Melee will love you.
Lyssa: Casters will love you.
Grenth: Holy Freeze?! :eek: Cool!
Dwayna: Shamal and the medics will love you.
Melandru: This is almost like Divine Shield :heh:.
Truth to be spoken, with her in the team, the chances of survival will be much higher, as well as that of victory. To quote Lowe: "Those Avatar spells are WIN!!! :D:D:D"
A question, will casting multiple Avatars have some kind of adverse effect on Gwendolyn? Also, how far will she be able to maintain them? Like will there be a case whereby the Avatar'ed person going too far out and the Avatar loses its effects?
*takes notes*
:D Glad you liked it.
Indeed, she would strain herself too much if she tried to sustain too many Avatars at once. Her energy supply comes from her "Relic" (which, I should add, is not the same as canon-Relics. The "Relics" my characters were enhanced with have different backgrounds and origins, as well as a complete story behind why were they given specifically given to my characters ;)) and thus she is able to sustain them and still have free energy to do other things. However, she is still human, albeit a genetically enhanced one, so she definitely has limits.
And you're right, if the Avatar'ed person goes beyond a certain distance, the Avatar will start to weaken, and eventually lose its effects, since the spells have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy.
Of course I know that! Didn't I just say that Aurion would have scolded her a bit about that? However, I'm not sure if I can put it in or will I-n's keep Aurion too busy.:heh: Expect the worst, so to speak. I also think that switching Signum and Zafira's places qoule have proven better.
Talking about I-n's, I'll send you a scenarios timeline proposal in a bit... I need to know if Aurion will be around for them... :heh:
Actually, I was thinking of pushing it further to have her cast the Avatar of Balthazar on him to take some pain to the remaining demons.:D It'll also be a good chance to showcase his future "Full External" mode.:D Gwen's a magic goldmine, right? There's plenty of power around to let him do a number without too much strain on his Linker Core.:heh:
Ah, so you wanted to fight after all... and I was planning to let my girls be the heroines. :p
But yeah, that's totally possible. :heh:
'-sama'?:heh:
My way of showing my gratitude for your words of encouragement. :)

I don't see any problems with the Avavtar system currently, although that could change once I get a better understanding of it.
Haha, well, they are just enhancement spells...just more powerful and complex, and require sustaining. Think Guild Wars, where some enchantments need to be maintained, costing 1 or more pips of energy regeneration. ;)
Good, there are two things I need you for.
First: I had an idea about a third form for Doppleganger, but it would most likely require Dopp getting that human form from Aurion.
Second: You know how one of my characters became a cyborg? Should he get an IS? And if so, what would be good for him?
For the second question, the Inherent Skill stuff is designed by Scaglietti, so if your character was created by him, then you wont have any problems.
Yeah haven't really finished, because all that involved tracking through everyone's profiles, and my brain was dying from the mad rush. :p. But basically Kha would come to meet a lot of the OCs, and some other unborn OCs not revealed yet. So I had to gloss over several points to be fair for now. :heh:
After StrikerS end, there's gonna be another release, and hopefully Artei's and Sophia's would be complete as well!
Those aren't defensive spells, but equipment built into his Knight Armor. I think I forgot to annotate that. :heh:
Haha, indeed, a lot of stuff will happen during StrikerS. :D
And that Knight Armor of his is PACKED! Geez. :p
:jawdrop:
Everytime you post a chap, its a BIG package! I wish I had my patience that I had when the thread first started... :heh:
:D Just to keep some sense of continuity... (though really, I'm like writing an anime episode :heh:)
Also, the Avatars are like Sophia's Aspects. You can guess them:
Aspect of the Saber
Aspect of the Lancer
Aspect of the Archer
Aspect of the Berserker
Aspect of the Caster
Aspect of the Assassin
Aspect of the Rider
Avenger: What about me?
I think they resemble Gwen's buffs as for Sophia, it involves imbuing herself with the essence of a Servant of a certain type, granting her abilities and aspects similar to the Servant. In other words, they are like "always on" self buffs that aid her varied combat styles, or roles she's fulfilling. Sophia can switch out from Aspect to Aspect quickly. This involvement of souls seem like a similar point.
Indeed, that's basically how the Avatars work. There are other Avatars I have in the works too, but they will be learned as the story progresses. I think Sophia's are self-buffs only, though, right?
Fighting Oswald is like fighting a vacuum... *takes note*
And :twitch: at Kaze no Kizu. :heh:
Artei: Here's my "HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY SPELL" SLASH!!! :D
Inuyasha: Oi. It's not yours in the first place...
:joke:
And Ashelyn going "ATASHI MO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!" should've been in there for the YokoGARness :D.
Not :joke: :D
lol Artei also has Kaze no Kizu? Well, they are both Wind users, so it makes sense. :D And they both have silver hair... :eek:
And lol, I didnt actually include it (though I wanted to) so I wouldnt ruin the scene. :heh:
I may be wrong but I'm smelling/sensing some warcraft overload xD
Interesting you say that, because I wasnt inspired by Warcraft. ;) The Avatars, at least, come from Guild Wars. :D Unless you were referring to something else?

Talking about I-n's, I'll send you a scenarios timeline proposal in a bit... I need to know if Aurion will be around for them... :heh:
The timeline would be no problem. He's going in and out of I-n's deshou? So I can freely alter the timeline for him to make time for the girls.
Ah, so you wanted to fight after all... and I was planning to let my girls be the heroines. :p
Well, they are! It's just that maybe Aurion could take down the last standing one. All those aside, they still save his butt.:heh:
My way of showing my gratitude for your words of encouragement. :)
I see.:heh:
@Kha: Good luck with the exams!

Hehe, finally I get this out. :)
The battle continues, and it is still far from over. ;) As this is an "introductory battle," I'm explaining various things, from special abilities to some background, and most importantly showing how my characters fight (at least a bit), thus it is being explained in detail.

Greater Sustained Magical Enhancements, “Avatars.”
While most boost up spells in Nanohaverse are temporal, lasting only several seconds, or expiring after a single attack or spell, Gwendolyn is capable of using stronger and longer-lasting enhancements thanks to her seemingly unlimited energy. These enhancements have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy, but provide a constant boost up effect until they are dispelled or disabled by the caster.
Gwendolyn is capable of sustaining these types of spells because of the constant supply of energy her Relic provides her. Regular mages could definitely learn these spells, but the energy upkeep is so steep that they practically won’t be able to do much else in battle while maintaining the enhancements.
Only one Avatar can be cast on a single person at any time, though for Gwendolyn it is possible to maintain more than one Avatar on different recipients.
Under the effect of an Avatar enhancement, the recipient is engulfed with an aura of different colors, depending on the type of Avatar used.
The Avatars known to Gwendolyn so far are:
Avatar of Balthazar (Crimson aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in melee combat. Physical power (strength) increases; physical and magical defense increases; overall speed increases.
Balthazar's Rage [Magic Enhanced Attack-type Spell] – Enchants the user’s weapon with powerful Fire elemental energy.
Balthazar’s Willpower [Passive] – The crimson aura surrounding the user serves as a Field-type defensive magic, providing physical and magical defense.
Avatar of Lyssa (Pink aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in magical combat. Magic power increases; faster casting time.
Lyssa’s Twin Moons [Enhancement Spell] – Temporal ability to cast two spells at the same time.
Lyssa’s Thorns [Passive] – The white energy aura surrounding the user damages melee attackers.
Avatar of Grenth (Dark-Blue aura) – Designed to disrupt opponents. The user’s attacks disable target’s enhancements and barriers (one per attack); attacks deal cold damage and cause freezing.
Grenth's Grasp [Passive] – Melee attackers’ movement speed decreases because of the user’s cold aura.
Grenth’s Breath [Area-of-Effect-type Skill] – Allows the user to convert his or her energy into pure Ice elemental energy.
Avatar of Dwayna (Green aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness with support magic. Increases power and effectiveness of healing spells and other enhancement spells; provides self-regeneration of wounds; accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Dwayna's Blessing [Passive] – Healing and enhancements spells cast on allies while under the effect of Avatar of Dwayna have their powers and effectiveness increased.
Dwayna’s Faithful Intervention [Passive] – The warm green aura regenerates the user’s wounds and accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Avatar of Melandru (Dark-Yellow aura) – Designed to greatly increase the user’s overall defense. Physical and magical defenses greatly increase; greatly increase protection against hexes and other conditions (negative effects); increases effectiveness of defensive magic.
Melandru’s Meditation [Field-type Defensive Spell] – Temporarily further increases physical and magical defenses.
Melandru’s Tears [Shield-type Defensive Spell] – Creates a shield capable of reflecting a single energy beam or spell. The shield has to be re-cast to reflect another beam or spell.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 1
~~~
A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”
<In your current state, your body won’t be able to withstand such power! Besides…>
“I don’t care—!”
<Listen to me!>
“…”
<Look at her… that blue-haired girl… That’s what you call an android, right?>
“Yeah…”
<She hasn’t made her move yet… And neither has that blonde girl… Maybe we shouldn’t either, or things could get out of control…>
“Damn it…!”
<Let your friends handle this for now.> Emeralda finished, while she pondered… (Summoning Zophar’s powers in her current state could strain her body too much… Maybe I should summon them instead…)
~~~
“I won’t forgive you for this…” Gwendolyn glared at Oswald, her eyes filled with anger, while she thought that even though they have known each other since their days at Scaglietti’s facility, what he has done is unforgivable…
“Show me, then…what you are capable of!” The Dark Knight said, unsheathing his black sword.
From a distance, Anri, Oswald’s companion, who was still incredulous about Oswald’s actions, could not help but wonder what exactly Oswald and Gwendolyn’s relationship is. “Oswald, could it be that…” she said softly, “she doesn’t know about your feelings for her…?”
“Urusanai…!” Gwendolyn’s body was engulfed in fierce light blue-colored energy, and her light blue eyes glowed white, as her body became hot from the Relic’s sudden energy outburst.
While mages display their energy outbursts in form of magic circles when casting spells, Gwendolyn’s energy exceeds her body’s natural energy capacity and leaks out, covering her whole body.
~Oswald~
Impressive… I can even feel the pressure of the enormous amount of energy being emitted from her body…
Regularly, this amount of energy is only gathered by a collection-type spell or by the use of magic cartridges… but even then, the energy gathered is only temporal, and will probably be spent in casting a single spell…
But for Gwendolyn it is different… She can generate that amount of energy by herself… at any time… with her willpower alone…
Well, let’s see what she’s got.
I leaped towards her to slash her with my sword. “God of War and Fire… Balthazar,” she said, while I was getting closer to her.
[Avatar of Balthazar,] her staff followed, and her light blue overflowing energy suddenly turned blood red.
I swung my blade downward for a strike… but she did not even try to evade…
“W-What is this—?” I said, surprised, as she was able to block my blade with not just her left hand alone, but also bare-handed.
With my blade still pressing against her bare hand, I noticed how she was concentrating a lot of pure energy onto the palm of her hand.
Wasting this much energy just to block a sword… Though for her this probably doesn’t matter…
But what is this abnormal strength…?
I see… Her enhancements have reached yet another level…
With her seemingly unlimited energy, this type of greater enhancement can prove to be quite troublesome.
But not for me… “Dark—”
I didn’t even finish my incantation, and Gwendolyn fiercely pushed my sword away with a sudden burst of energy from the palm of her hand.
“Ether…Buster.”
Without having a second to react, she used her other hand and blasted me away with a very powerful, medium-sized energy beam, sending me crashing into a nearby wall.
“Ugh—” So that is why she blocked my blade like that…
Her expression hasn’t changed, her eyes steady and furiously glared at me, thinking of nothing but to defeat me.
That’s how it needs to be, Gwendolyn. In battle you cannot doubt, no matter the opponent.
And now that she is ready… I won’t hold back, either…
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 2
~Gwendolyn~
Oswald stood up, his brown eyes now glowing dark red, and his body was again engulfed in dark-purple energy.
To us Relic users, we can tell when we are activating our Relics when our eyes glow a different color…
And the fact that his body is surrounded by this overflowing energy only means that his Relic works similar to mine… It generates energy…
But… what is this energy…? Why does it feel…so…uncomfortable…?
I’ve never experienced this sensation before…
“Shadow Bolt.” As he lifted his left arm, Oswald cast a dark purple-colored lightning-looking spark at me.
The bolt struck a barrier I conjured up, and I thought I had neutralized the attack, but to my surprise the barrier… “W-What is this?” I said, as the magical barrier appeared to be melting…
I immediately pulled away, my eyes stared wide open, trying to figure out what was going on, as the barrier I left behind was dissipating in a very strange, unnatural way…
I can understand if a physical or elemental shield melts… but a magical barrier…?
Luckily, my Avatar of Balthazar provides me with constant field-type defense, so I was able to get away unharmed…
“Surprised?” I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him…
“Where is—?”
“Behind you, Gwendolyn!” I suddenly heard Natalia shouting.
“W-When did he—?”
“Dark Saber,” he said, and in an instant his sword was enchanted with this weird dark-purple energy.
I evaded his sword slash thanks to my improved speed, and his sword furiously struck the ground, breaking it to pieces… but the pieces of rock were disintegrated in mid air…
Just what in the world is this energy…?
“Ether Buster!” Now in mid-air, I launched another medium-sized beam at him.
But he didn’t try to evade it… What is he thinking?
His body now, again, covered by dark-purple energy, and his eyes glowing, he suddenly conjured up a dark-purple barrier just before getting hit…
This… it was not a barrier… it looks like…
He took my energy beam head on, and somehow… my energy beam was completely absorbed…
“W-What is going on…?” I questioned in disbelieve.
“Did you know, Gwendolyn, that there are other planes of existence beside our own?”
“…” What is he talking about…?
“This special energy I possess… this dark energy… is a type of energy not naturally present in our plane of existence,” he paused momentarily, since he noticed from the puzzled look on my face that I was not following what he was trying to tell me… “You could say that…this is the power of demons…”
“Demons…? That’s crazy. How do you expect me to believe—?”
“Listen to him, Gwendolyn!” A voice suddenly interrupted me. I was surprised, as it was Emeralda. “What he is saying is true. I don’t know how he managed to get such power, but I have seen it before, long ago when I was still alive…”
“So you have finally awakened, Emeralda,” Oswald said, to our surprise, as he now looked at Natalia.
“How did you—?” Natalia tried to question him…
“Kisama… How do you know me?!” Emeralda interrupted.
“We have been expecting your awakening.”
“‘We’…? Who are you talking about—?” Emeralda asked, puzzled, while I was wondering what was going on as well.
As far as I knew, Scaglietti did not know about Emeralda’s existence… So then…who…?
Oswald did not answer the question, and instead faced me again. “This is my Relic’s special ability… an ability quite opposite to yours,” Oswald continued, as he closed his eyes to ponder…
“…”
“… I know,” he continued, now looking at me again. “If your Relic is like a Star…forever shining radiantly with pure energy… then mine is like…a Black Hole…”
“A…Black Hole…?”
“Yes… It continuously drains energy… even my own…
However, it converts the drained regular energy into dark energy…”
“Kisama…” Emeralda spoke again, “how did you get a hold of that crystal?!”
“As expected from you, Emeralda, you already know what I’m talking about. Well, I personally didn’t get a hold of it… They did… You’ll know when the time comes… Right now—”
“… What’s that supposed to mean…?!” I asked. He has been evading our questions all this time… I just don’t understand what is going on…!
“… If you’re not able to beat me… then you don’t need to know!”
~~~
A special crystal that continuously drains energy…
While a regular mage would have died already, for a regularly-sized Linker Core would not be able to keep up with such continuous torture, Oswald’s Linker Core is capable of meeting the demanding upkeep.
He is not able to cast any regular spells because the crystal would absorb any amount of energy he tries to emit.
However, Oswald is able to use Dark Magic because the Relic does not only absorb energy, but also transforms it into dark energy, a different type of magical energy not naturally present in the human world. Due to the otherworldly nature of this energy, the spells and abilities that employ dark energy have increased effectiveness over dwellers of the human world, because they are not used to it.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 3
~~~
Iris gazed at Ashelyn, as the cute little girl appeared to be sleeping… The little girl’s life was not in danger, but her body was full of bruises and small cuts.
“Thank goodness…”
The silver-haired girl then stood up, facing Krynu, the mace-wielding Knight, once again. She moved away from Ashelyn’s body, so as not to involve the little blue-haired girl further.
Her thoughts wandered, as she suspected that the man’s ability is similar to her own.
The time she was suspended in mid air, she felt a lot of pressure; however, it was not wind pressure, like her own ability.
Particle Manipulation.
The ability to manipulate physical particles to certain extends… but to what extend, Iris thought.
“If you’re not going to start, I will…”
The Knight resumed his attack; again, a barrage of rocks was fired in Iris’ general direction.
The girl stood there, her determination could be seen and felt through her deep, crimson eyes, her inexplicable calmness gave out an aura of fear Krynu was not expecting… “W-What is she planning?”
Iris conjured up a shield, not too stronger than her last ones, but she was confident this time.
Few bullets hammered her shield, while most of the others hit the surrounding area.
That’s when Iris thought that, even though the barrage of rocks served their purpose: to pin the opponent down, they still lacked accuracy.
“Gale,” she conjured the same enhancement, her body again engulfed in gentle winds.
However, her movements were not the same—she moved almost twice as fast. The Knight’s eyes opened wide, as he suddenly lost sight of the silver-haired girl. “She was not this fast before… How did she—?”
“Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar),” she said softly, and fired several energy blasts from the tip of her glowing blade in the shape of crescent moons, as she swung her glaive a few times in rapid succession.
The wind blades surprised Krynu, since he did not know where they came from.
He protected himself with his giant mace, which’s head is almost as big as his own body, and he was surprised that the wind blades were extremely weak.
“D-Decoys—?!”
“That huge mace,” Iris said, now behind the green-haired, to his surprise, “seems pretty heavy,” she finished, as she, this time, charged up her energy and channeled it onto her glaive’s blade. “Kaze no Kizu!!”
This time she shouted the name of her attack, and a devastating energy wave moved towards the defenseless Knight, shattering the floor beneath as it moved forward, splitting the air in its way.
Krynu took the energy wave head on, parts of his Barrier Jacket shattering to pieces, his blood spilling out, as he was pushed back several meters until he was able to recover his balance.
But the girl’s attack was not over yet. She pushed on, closing her distance to the Knight once again, as she knew that, with such a huge mace, she would have the advantage in melee combat.
Her continuous slashes met the metal shaft of Krynu’s heavy mace, as he struggled to keep up.
Until the unexpected happened.
Krynu, with his dark-green eyes now glowing in a brighter tone of green, used his special ability on himself, accelerating his own body.
With his now lightning-fast reflexes, he was able to block and evade Iris’ continuous attacks, as he was now able to keep up with her speed.
And his giant mace, too, was accelerated by his particle manipulation ability, now moving as if it was as light as a small sword.
“W-What—?” Iris could not help but be amazed at how the Knight used his Relic ability, for she never thought about using her own ability, which she thinks is similar to the Knight’s, on her own self.
“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”
About Relic users:
The eyes of Relic users glow a different color to represent the activation of a power foreign to their natural bodies.
(Note: I may have missed a few occasions where I should have mentioned the eye color change, though I think I have been consistent since I started the fic.)
Not all Relic users have overflowing energy in the form of auras, only those who’s Relics produce so much energy that their bodies are not able to contain it all.About Oswald and Iris’ speeds, since both suddenly appeared behind their opponents:
Oswald actually used a spell to move that fast, named Shadow Step. With it, the user moves somewhat faster than with Sonic Move, since the user seems to teleport from one location to another; however, it can only be used where there are shadows. Also, just like Sonic Move, it cannot be used for long periods of time, just to move from one location to another.
Iris, on the other hand, is a speed type, and thanks in part to her enhancement spell, Gale, she moves at very high speeds, much like Fate. Obviously, though, her speed is not near as fast as Sonic Move.What Ashelyn really said at the very end:
“WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!”
:joke:
Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D
Avatars? Nice name for these abilities. So basically, they're buff auras, that can also provide benefits to other mages nearby? Nice :)
And so that's Oswald's Relic ability... he's more similar to Mai than I thought, incapable of using regular magic, only dark magic. Although in this case, that's the cause of his Relic, and not his Linker Core as with Mai. And his energy absorption and magic destruction abilities are :eek: No problems with your description of dark energy here, fits well :)
Needs more “WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU!!!” to top the awesome action here :P:D
Pally Auras have come to the OC thread?!
Balthazar: Melee will love you.
Lyssa: Casters will love you.
Grenth: Holy Freeze?! :eek: Cool!
Dwayna: Shamal and the medics will love you.
Melandru: This is almost like Divine Shield :heh:.
Truth to be spoken, with her in the team, the chances of survival will be much higher, as well as that of victory. To quote Lowe: "Those Avatar spells are WIN!!! :D:D:D"
Gwen would become the most highly sought after character in any RPG then :D
Erhm I didn't quote that, Aaron did :heh: But yeah, I also think that :D
Regardless, awesome picture. I might request something of you too, in slightly similar veins.
Could it be... :eek:
Holy shit!? Black Hole!?
The Avatar spells, powerful as they are, are quite nice, but Oswald...damn. :eyespin:
Thankfully there's a limit behind it, but regardless, a powerful power indeed. Makes me wonder what would happen if he teamed with Gaea... :uhoh:
Haha, well, mentioning a Black Hole was more of an analogy... :heh: though you could say it works in a similar fashion. However, its not that he automatically eats any incoming energy beam, as shown too, where he was not able to react in time to stop Gwendolyn's first attack. ;)
BTW, Nighty, do you have any details about what exactly Quattro did to Lutecia in the last episode?
The timeline would be no problem. He's going in and out of I-n's deshou? So I can freely alter the timeline for him to make time for the girls.
That's good to know. :D I have scheduled a third meeting (and still before GC is attacked) though I'm not sure yet if it will happen... Well, I'll send the timeline in a bit. ;)
Well, they are! It's just that maybe Aurion could take down the last standing one. All those aside, they still save his butt.:heh:
Ah, no problem then. :D
This reminds me, where is An Hero?!
Avatars? Nice name for these abilities. So basically, they're buff auras, that can also provide benefits to other mages nearby? Nice :)
And so that's Oswald's Relic ability... he's more similar to Mai than I thought, incapable of using regular magic, only dark magic. Although in this case, that's the cause of his Relic, and not his Linker Core as with Mai. And his energy absorption and magic destruction abilities are :eek: No problems with your description of dark energy here, fits well :)
Needs more “WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU!!!” to top the awesome action here :P:D
Actually they dont give benefits to nearby mages. :heh: I mentioned "auras" to try to describe that, when someone is enchanted with an Avatar, they are engulfed in a field-defense-looking aura with a color depending on the Avatar used. The Avatars only provide benefits to the recipient, and Gwen can cast more than one. ;) If they were like Paladin auras, they would be pretty h4xx. :uhoh: :heh:
Indeed, Mai has it somewhat tougher...though when she ascends, she will own Oswald. :heh: And there ARE drawbacks from using too much Dark Magic, too... ;)
And lol, as stated above, I didnt actually include that so as to not ruin the scene...but I'm so tempted to make her say that in the next chapter... :uhoh: :heh:
BTW, I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Ashelyn is acting OOC... :p There's a story for that too... :heh:
Gwen would become the most highly sought after character in any RPG then :D
Erhm I didn't quote that, Aaron did :heh: But yeah, I also think that :D
I wonder if selkirk will letme create these spells for the Nanoha RP thingy. :heh:

Could it be... :eek:
:p
BTW, Nighty, do you have any details about what exactly Quattro did to Lutecia in the last episode?
I'd help, but since nico's been removing StrikerS episodes, I can't watch it, and downloading the raw would take a while. Not to mention I bloody hate that scene, since it's blatantly a cheap plot device to make befriending 90% more believable, due to the lack of any genuine interaction Lutecia and Lightning shared.
Anyway, from what I can remember, it's some sort of fail-safe placed inside her, I think.
Actually, a lot of things can do for repairing, honestly. Like this whole Jail-hate thing Fate has going. I can understand her hating types like him, but honestly, the emotional investment into it feels really forced. Same with Erio. I mean, he's a Project F remnant for the sake of it? WTF? What about the whole Hayate-as-a-tool subplot that was hinted? HELLO?
I think one reason why StrikerS feels lackluster is because the manga and early episodes hint and promises a lot of things for the characters, but 80% of all those aspects come across as being there just for the sake of it, with little substance, and having no impact.Hmm... I do know that StrikerS has been giving me many instances of wondering "Is that it?" I don't remember that so much during A's or Nanoha.
:heh:
I'd comment if I can download it, but for now, take my earlier 80% comment first. I'll see it once I get everything back to normal.No problem. I made it as a "commorative issue" for trash coffee table read, rather than something meant to be peer reviewed, so no worries about that. :3
Haha, indeed, a lot of stuff will happen during StrikerS. :D
And that Knight Armor of his is PACKED! Geez. :pThat's about the only thing I'll admit that Kha's h4xx. His armor, shields, barriers and protection fields were meant to reduce damage to an incredible minimal, that's why Kha can't DPS like the other Aces as the balance. :p
Indeed, that's basically how the Avatars work. There are other Avatars I have in the works too, but they will be learned as the story progresses. I think Sophia's are self-buffs only, though, right?
lol Artei also has Kaze no Kizu? Well, they are both Wind users, so it makes sense. :D And they both have silver hair... :eek:
And lol, I didnt actually include it (though I wanted to) so I wouldnt ruin the scene. :heh:Yes they are self-buffs. It is part of her class skills as a Weapon Summoner.
Are you saying they are related? :eyebrow: Unless Hayate von Braumuhl has been sleeping around... :uhoh:
No it wouldn't. :D
@Erio and Aaron: All that arrangements sounds like you guys are setting Aurion up for a date. :D
RE: selkirk's "Dual Moon Wars" tabletop - You won't believe how many builds I have for Kha to fit in there. There's the Healer skill and gear set, the Range DPS set, the Melee DPS set, the Buff & Cleanser set, the Tank set, the Hardened Healer set for healing in claustrophobic areas... :eyespin:
If this was WoW, it would be costing me bombs to keep respeccing like that. :heh:
@ Thread:
Congratulations on the warp speed drive
now we can shoot those black holes at our backs

WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE MEGAUPLOAD? I'll just have to disable the friggn toolbar later

Finally compiled the data huh? good- i can proceed with him in AltS I and II

At least, that knocks down the H4XX on his ability, being an active, and not a passive ability. Although how much energy can he suck in anyways?
Ah, no problem then. :D
This reminds me, where is An Hero?!
Isn't he still in Russia? Or did I just miss something? :heh:
Actually they dont give benefits to nearby mages. :heh: I mentioned "auras" to try to describe that, when someone is enchanted with an Avatar, they are engulfed in a field-defense-looking aura with a color depending on the Avatar used. The Avatars only provide benefits to the recipient, and Gwen can cast more than one. ;) If they were like Paladin auras, they would be pretty h4xx. :uhoh: :heh:
Indeed, Mai has it somewhat tougher...though when she ascends, she will own Oswald. :heh: And there ARE drawbacks from using too much Dark Magic, too... ;)
And lol, as stated above, I didnt actually include that so as to not ruin the scene...but I'm so tempted to make her say that in the next chapter... :uhoh: :heh:
So just casted buffs then :heh: Although they're still quite handy spells to have around :)
I don't remember Oswald's Relic being mentioned as draining even his life away from him, so yes Mai has it tougher. In fact, if Oswald wanted to kill Mai, all he has to do is drain her artificial magic battery dry, although that might require Shamal-like deep penetration skills to reach that battery :heh:
I don't think even Oswald can possibly stand up to a Chaos Daemon Princess :heh: :uhoh:
And please do have Ash say it, for GREAT JUSTICE!!!! :D
I wonder if selkirk will letme create these spells for the Nanoha RP thingy. :heh:
The tabletop RP? It sound promising but... refraining from RP's for now :heh:

Haha, well, mentioning a Black Hole was more of an analogy... :heh: though you could say it works in a similar fashion. However, its not that he automatically eats any incoming energy beam, as shown too, where he was not able to react in time to stop Gwendolyn's first attack. ;)
So for most of the time, a direct combat approach would be best against him?
That's good to know. :D I have scheduled a third meeting (and still before GC is attacked) though I'm not sure yet if it will happen... Well, I'll send the timeline in a bit. ;)
Ok.:)
Ah, no problem then. :D
I actually finished the scenario in my head already!:D
This reminds me, where is An Hero?!
Yeah, he said he was going to bash the baklog two nghts ago.:confused:
@Erio and Aaron: All that arrangements sounds like you guys are setting Aurion up for a date. :D
That's one way of saying it.:heh:

Although is it wrong that out of all refs in there, "Quattro Bageena" caught my attention the most? :uhoh::heh::D
And I wonder which James Raynor Kha met, the young, cocky one, or the older, more somber person? :heh:

Hmm... you seem to have a tendecy to draw them looking younger, eh? :D
Chrono looks so chubby, like he was 14~15 again.
Regardless, awesome picture. I might request something of you too, in slightly similar veins.
Chubby? You must mean the face, right?. :heh:
And yeah...I end up making them looking younger :heh:
I have more experience drawing young characters :uhoh:
I'm open for request, though my own list of 'sketches to do' seems to be piling up :heh:

Yeah, the face, but in general, your styling from body shapes to faces seem to lean more towards the short-ish, cute style that makes them look younger. Plus your females generally have a more vibrant touch, since even your males has that 'feminine' touch in them due to their more chubby style.
I on the other hand, can hardly draw females to save my life. People say I have the tendecy to bishie-fy my characters, with body proportions that feel CLAMP-ish at times.
Don't worry, that request won't be now, and you can take your time. I have something along the lines of a Saga Compilation OVA too, and there are some things I want implemented. I already did some artwork of my own, but there is one that most likely require your assistance. Haven't really started much since I need to reread my whole piece again, and add up more background here and there, but overall, I'd say it's looming nicely.
Plus with exams coming in 2 weeks, I need to start prepping up too... :(
:p
I'd help, but since nico's been removing StrikerS episodes, I can't watch it, and downloading the raw would take a while. Not to mention I bloody hate that scene, since it's blatantly a cheap plot device to make befriending 90% more believable, due to the lack of any genuine interaction Lutecia and Lightning shared.
Anyway, from what I can remember, it's some sort of fail-safe placed inside her, I think.
Excellent, that's what I wanted to know... From the little I understood, Quattro did mentioned that the Doctor did something to Lutecia... So my characters should also have this fail-safe mechanism, I guess. :heh: Good thing I didnt get to a specific scenario I have planned yet, or I would have been Ion Canon'ed. :heh:
If you find any more details, please letme know. :)
Are you saying they are related? :eyebrow: Unless Hayate von Braumuhl has been sleeping around... :uhoh:
LOL I'm not. I'm just pointing out their similarities. Its just coincidence that they both have silver hair, but hey, anyone can learn Wind skills. :heh:
@Erio and Aaron: All that arrangements sounds like you guys are setting Aurion up for a date. :D
In that case I'll be trying to set up Kha for one too... :twitch: :heh:
RE: selkirk's "Dual Moon Wars" tabletop - You won't believe how many builds I have for Kha to fit in there. There's the Healer skill and gear set, the Range DPS set, the Melee DPS set, the Buff & Cleanser set, the Tank set, the Hardened Healer set for healing in claustrophobic areas... :eyespin:
If this was WoW, it would be costing me bombs to keep respeccing like that. :heh:
If I make Gwen for that tabletop, I will make her full support. I love being support in games, so expect me to be full support there as well. :D
@ Erio:
please add the Key Devices to my dossier please.
Sure, give me the links to the posts and I will. :)
At least, that knocks down the H4XX on his ability, being an active, and not a passive ability. Although how much energy can he suck in anyways?
Hmm, there is a bottleneck, yes, but not on the draining side, but on the other... See, he can drain as much energy as he wants and the Relic will convert it to dark energy...but then his human body cant withstand so much dark energy...
Since his Relic is basically part of his Linker Core he is able to use dark energy and not get instantly corrupted, but he still has limits...
Isn't he still in Russia? Or did I just miss something? :heh:
He went back to college in Russia or something... Haha, I'm not sure. :heh:
So just casted buffs then :heh: Although they're still quite handy spells to have around :)
Casted buffs, indeed, but much more complex than regular buffs. ;)
I don't remember Oswald's Relic being mentioned as draining even his life away from him, so yes Mai has it tougher. In fact, if Oswald wanted to kill Mai, all he has to do is drain her artificial magic battery dry, although that might require Shamal-like deep penetration skills to reach that battery :heh:
I don't think even Oswald can possibly stand up to a Chaos Daemon Princess :heh: :uhoh:
You're right... his Relic only absorbs energy, not his life. And I wonder, what would happen if he uses Devour Energy like he did to Ashelyn in the episode before the last? :uhoh:
And please do have Ash say it, for GREAT JUSTICE!!!! :D
lol Lets see if I can make that fit. :heh:
The tabletop RP? It sound promising but... refraining from RP's for now
I've never tried one... so I'm curious. :heh:
So for most of the time, a direct combat approach would be best against him?
Yeah, he is beatable, and not just using direct combat. All my "h4xxes" are beatable. ;) However, dont expect Dark Magic to be any easier even in close combat. ;)

I see...well for me, it depends on the flow of things, sometimes the male characters look fully male, while in others they seem to have a female-ish touch on them.
That's because the way I begin drawing the characters is different from the standard method used.
I start with drawing one of the eyes, then work from there, the rest pretty much flows naturally :D
And reason for the female touch on characters, well, I draw more often female characters than male :heh:

Interesting you say that, because I wasnt inspired by Warcraft. ;) The Avatars, at least, come from Guild Wars. :D Unless you were referring to something else?
Most of your abilities are similar to some in warcraft, well imo at least and the avatar... =X
Hehe, finally I get this out. :)
The battle continues, and it is still far from over. ;) As this is an "introductory battle," I'm explaining various things, from special abilities to some background, and most importantly showing how my characters fight (at least a bit), thus it is being explained in detail.

Greater Sustained Magical Enhancements, “Avatars.”
While most boost up spells in Nanohaverse are temporal, lasting only several seconds, or expiring after a single attack or spell, Gwendolyn is capable of using stronger and longer-lasting enhancements thanks to her seemingly unlimited energy. These enhancements have to be sustained with a constant supply of energy, but provide a constant boost up effect until they are dispelled or disabled by the caster.
Gwendolyn is capable of sustaining these types of spells because of the constant supply of energy her Relic provides her. Regular mages could definitely learn these spells, but the energy upkeep is so steep that they practically won’t be able to do much else in battle while maintaining the enhancements.
Only one Avatar can be cast on a single person at any time, though for Gwendolyn it is possible to maintain more than one Avatar on different recipients.
Under the effect of an Avatar enhancement, the recipient is engulfed with an aura of different colors, depending on the type of Avatar used.
The Avatars known to Gwendolyn so far are:
Avatar of Balthazar (Crimson aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in melee combat. Physical power (strength) increases; physical and magical defense increases; overall speed increases.
Balthazar's Rage [Magic Enhanced Attack-type Spell] – Enchants the user’s weapon with powerful Fire elemental energy.
Balthazar’s Willpower [Passive] – The crimson aura surrounding the user serves as a Field-type defensive magic, providing physical and magical defense.
Avatar of Lyssa (Pink aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness in magical combat. Magic power increases; faster casting time.
Lyssa’s Twin Moons [Enhancement Spell] – Temporal ability to cast two spells at the same time.
Lyssa’s Thorns [Passive] – The white energy aura surrounding the user damages melee attackers.
Avatar of Grenth (Dark-Blue aura) – Designed to disrupt opponents. The user’s attacks disable target’s enhancements and barriers (one per attack); attacks deal cold damage and cause freezing.
Grenth's Grasp [Passive] – Melee attackers’ movement speed decreases because of the user’s cold aura.
Grenth’s Breath [Area-of-Effect-type Skill] – Allows the user to convert his or her energy into pure Ice elemental energy.
Avatar of Dwayna (Green aura) – Designed to increase the user’s effectiveness with support magic. Increases power and effectiveness of healing spells and other enhancement spells; provides self-regeneration of wounds; accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Dwayna's Blessing [Passive] – Healing and enhancements spells cast on allies while under the effect of Avatar of Dwayna have their powers and effectiveness increased.
Dwayna’s Faithful Intervention [Passive] – The warm green aura regenerates the user’s wounds and accelerates the user’s recovery from hexes.
Avatar of Melandru (Dark-Yellow aura) – Designed to greatly increase the user’s overall defense. Physical and magical defenses greatly increase; greatly increase protection against hexes and other conditions (negative effects); increases effectiveness of defensive magic.
Melandru’s Meditation [Field-type Defensive Spell] – Temporarily further increases physical and magical defenses.
Melandru’s Tears [Shield-type Defensive Spell] – Creates a shield capable of reflecting a single energy beam or spell. The shield has to be re-cast to reflect another beam or spell.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 1
~~~
A prolonged silence filled the cavern, as the battle had paused because of Oswald’s unexpected move.
“Emeralda!!” Natalia shouted, calling her partner.
<Wait…> Emeralda replied, telepathically.
“What do you mean ‘wait’?! Give me your powers…now!!”
<In your current state, your body won’t be able to withstand such power! Besides…>
“I don’t care—!”
<Listen to me!>
“…”
<Look at her… that blue-haired girl… That’s what you call an android, right?>
“Yeah…”
<She hasn’t made her move yet… And neither has that blonde girl… Maybe we shouldn’t either, or things could get out of control…>
“Damn it…!”
<Let your friends handle this for now.> Emeralda finished, while she pondered… (Summoning Zophar’s powers in her current state could strain her body too much… Maybe I should summon them instead…)
~~~
“I won’t forgive you for this…” Gwendolyn glared at Oswald, her eyes filled with anger, while she thought that even though they have known each other since their days at Scaglietti’s facility, what he has done is unforgivable…
“Show me, then…what you are capable of!” The Dark Knight said, unsheathing his black sword.
From a distance, Anri, Oswald’s companion, who was still incredulous about Oswald’s actions, could not help but wonder what exactly Oswald and Gwendolyn’s relationship is. “Oswald, could it be that…” she said softly, “she doesn’t know about your feelings for her…?”
“Urusanai…!” Gwendolyn’s body was engulfed in fierce light blue-colored energy, and her light blue eyes glowed white, as her body became hot from the Relic’s sudden energy outburst.
While mages display their energy outbursts in form of magic circles when casting spells, Gwendolyn’s energy exceeds her body’s natural energy capacity and leaks out, covering her whole body.
~Oswald~
Impressive… I can even feel the pressure of the enormous amount of energy being emitted from her body…
Regularly, this amount of energy is only gathered by a collection-type spell or by the use of magic cartridges… but even then, the energy gathered is only temporal, and will probably be spent in casting a single spell…
But for Gwendolyn it is different… She can generate that amount of energy by herself… at any time… with her willpower alone…
Well, let’s see what she’s got.
I leaped towards her to slash her with my sword. “God of War and Fire… Balthazar,” she said, while I was getting closer to her.
[Avatar of Balthazar,] her staff followed, and her light blue overflowing energy suddenly turned blood red.
I swung my blade downward for a strike… but she did not even try to evade…
“W-What is this—?” I said, surprised, as she was able to block my blade with not just her left hand alone, but also bare-handed.
With my blade still pressing against her bare hand, I noticed how she was concentrating a lot of pure energy onto the palm of her hand.
Wasting this much energy just to block a sword… Though for her this probably doesn’t matter…
But what is this abnormal strength…?
I see… Her enhancements have reached yet another level…
With her seemingly unlimited energy, this type of greater enhancement can prove to be quite troublesome.
But not for me… “Dark—”
I didn’t even finish my incantation, and Gwendolyn fiercely pushed my sword away with a sudden burst of energy from the palm of her hand.
“Ether…Buster.”
Without having a second to react, she used her other hand and blasted me away with a very powerful, medium-sized energy beam, sending me crashing into a nearby wall.
“Ugh—” So that is why she blocked my blade like that…
Her expression hasn’t changed, her eyes steady and furiously glared at me, thinking of nothing but to defeat me.
That’s how it needs to be, Gwendolyn. In battle you cannot doubt, no matter the opponent.
And now that she is ready… I won’t hold back, either…
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 2
~Gwendolyn~
Oswald stood up, his brown eyes now glowing dark red, and his body was again engulfed in dark-purple energy.
To us Relic users, we can tell when we are activating our Relics when our eyes glow a different color…
And the fact that his body is surrounded by this overflowing energy only means that his Relic works similar to mine… It generates energy…
But… what is this energy…? Why does it feel…so…uncomfortable…?
I’ve never experienced this sensation before…
“Shadow Bolt.” As he lifted his left arm, Oswald cast a dark purple-colored lightning-looking spark at me.
The bolt struck a barrier I conjured up, and I thought I had neutralized the attack, but to my surprise the barrier… “W-What is this?” I said, as the magical barrier appeared to be melting…
I immediately pulled away, my eyes stared wide open, trying to figure out what was going on, as the barrier I left behind was dissipating in a very strange, unnatural way…
I can understand if a physical or elemental shield melts… but a magical barrier…?
Luckily, my Avatar of Balthazar provides me with constant field-type defense, so I was able to get away unharmed…
“Surprised?” I heard his voice, but I couldn’t see him…
“Where is—?”
“Behind you, Gwendolyn!” I suddenly heard Natalia shouting.
“W-When did he—?”
“Dark Saber,” he said, and in an instant his sword was enchanted with this weird dark-purple energy.
I evaded his sword slash thanks to my improved speed, and his sword furiously struck the ground, breaking it to pieces… but the pieces of rock were disintegrated in mid air…
Just what in the world is this energy…?
“Ether Buster!” Now in mid-air, I launched another medium-sized beam at him.
But he didn’t try to evade it… What is he thinking?
His body now, again, covered by dark-purple energy, and his eyes glowing, he suddenly conjured up a dark-purple barrier just before getting hit…
This… it was not a barrier… it looks like…
He took my energy beam head on, and somehow… my energy beam was completely absorbed…
“W-What is going on…?” I questioned in disbelieve.
“Did you know, Gwendolyn, that there are other planes of existence beside our own?”
“…” What is he talking about…?
“This special energy I possess… this dark energy… is a type of energy not naturally present in our plane of existence,” he paused momentarily, since he noticed from the puzzled look on my face that I was not following what he was trying to tell me… “You could say that…this is the power of demons…”
“Demons…? That’s crazy. How do you expect me to believe—?”
“Listen to him, Gwendolyn!” A voice suddenly interrupted me. I was surprised, as it was Emeralda. “What he is saying is true. I don’t know how he managed to get such power, but I have seen it before, long ago when I was still alive…”
“So you have finally awakened, Emeralda,” Oswald said, to our surprise, as he now looked at Natalia.
“How did you—?” Natalia tried to question him…
“Kisama… How do you know me?!” Emeralda interrupted.
“We have been expecting your awakening.”
“‘We’…? Who are you talking about—?” Emeralda asked, puzzled, while I was wondering what was going on as well.
As far as I knew, Scaglietti did not know about Emeralda’s existence… So then…who…?
Oswald did not answer the question, and instead faced me again. “This is my Relic’s special ability… an ability quite opposite to yours,” Oswald continued, as he closed his eyes to ponder…
“…”
“… I know,” he continued, now looking at me again. “If your Relic is like a Star…forever shining radiantly with pure energy… then mine is like…a Black Hole…”
“A…Black Hole…?”
“Yes… It continuously drains energy… even my own…
However, it converts the drained regular energy into dark energy…”
“Kisama…” Emeralda spoke again, “how did you get a hold of that crystal?!”
“As expected from you, Emeralda, you already know what I’m talking about. Well, I personally didn’t get a hold of it… They did… You’ll know when the time comes… Right now—”
“… What’s that supposed to mean…?!” I asked. He has been evading our questions all this time… I just don’t understand what is going on…!
“… If you’re not able to beat me… then you don’t need to know!”
~~~
A special crystal that continuously drains energy…
While a regular mage would have died already, for a regularly-sized Linker Core would not be able to keep up with such continuous torture, Oswald’s Linker Core is capable of meeting the demanding upkeep.
He is not able to cast any regular spells because the crystal would absorb any amount of energy he tries to emit.
However, Oswald is able to use Dark Magic because the Relic does not only absorb energy, but also transforms it into dark energy, a different type of magical energy not naturally present in the human world. Due to the otherworldly nature of this energy, the spells and abilities that employ dark energy have increased effectiveness over dwellers of the human world, because they are not used to it.
Episode 09: A Taste of Darkness – Part 3
~~~
Iris gazed at Ashelyn, as the cute little girl appeared to be sleeping… The little girl’s life was not in danger, but her body was full of bruises and small cuts.
“Thank goodness…”
The silver-haired girl then stood up, facing Krynu, the mace-wielding Knight, once again. She moved away from Ashelyn’s body, so as not to involve the little blue-haired girl further.
Her thoughts wandered, as she suspected that the man’s ability is similar to her own.
The time she was suspended in mid air, she felt a lot of pressure; however, it was not wind pressure, like her own ability.
Particle Manipulation.
The ability to manipulate physical particles to certain extends… but to what extend, Iris thought.
“If you’re not going to start, I will…”
The Knight resumed his attack; again, a barrage of rocks was fired in Iris’ general direction.
The girl stood there, her determination could be seen and felt through her deep, crimson eyes, her inexplicable calmness gave out an aura of fear Krynu was not expecting… “W-What is she planning?”
Iris conjured up a shield, not too stronger than her last ones, but she was confident this time.
Few bullets hammered her shield, while most of the others hit the surrounding area.
That’s when Iris thought that, even though the barrage of rocks served their purpose: to pin the opponent down, they still lacked accuracy.
“Gale,” she conjured the same enhancement, her body again engulfed in gentle winds.
However, her movements were not the same—she moved almost twice as fast. The Knight’s eyes opened wide, as he suddenly lost sight of the silver-haired girl. “She was not this fast before… How did she—?”
“Kaze no Kizu (Wind Scar),” she said softly, and fired several energy blasts from the tip of her glowing blade in the shape of crescent moons, as she swung her glaive a few times in rapid succession.
The wind blades surprised Krynu, since he did not know where they came from.
He protected himself with his giant mace, which’s head is almost as big as his own body, and he was surprised that the wind blades were extremely weak.
“D-Decoys—?!”
“That huge mace,” Iris said, now behind the green-haired, to his surprise, “seems pretty heavy,” she finished, as she, this time, charged up her energy and channeled it onto her glaive’s blade. “Kaze no Kizu!!”
This time she shouted the name of her attack, and a devastating energy wave moved towards the defenseless Knight, shattering the floor beneath as it moved forward, splitting the air in its way.
Krynu took the energy wave head on, parts of his Barrier Jacket shattering to pieces, his blood spilling out, as he was pushed back several meters until he was able to recover his balance.
But the girl’s attack was not over yet. She pushed on, closing her distance to the Knight once again, as she knew that, with such a huge mace, she would have the advantage in melee combat.
Her continuous slashes met the metal shaft of Krynu’s heavy mace, as he struggled to keep up.
Until the unexpected happened.
Krynu, with his dark-green eyes now glowing in a brighter tone of green, used his special ability on himself, accelerating his own body.
With his now lightning-fast reflexes, he was able to block and evade Iris’ continuous attacks, as he was now able to keep up with her speed.
And his giant mace, too, was accelerated by his particle manipulation ability, now moving as if it was as light as a small sword.
“W-What—?” Iris could not help but be amazed at how the Knight used his Relic ability, for she never thought about using her own ability, which she thinks is similar to the Knight’s, on her own self.
“Didn’t I tell you before…? Speed types cannot beat me,” Krynu grinned, as he launched his giant mace toward the surprised girl at an incredible speed.
The silver-haired girl knew she couldn’t evade it, and that receiving such powerful attack would probably be the end for her… “G-Gwen…!” She cried…
The Knight’s giant mace impacted at full force.
The place of impact was suddenly covered with a light blue mist, blurring the area… And Iris was pushed back…but only a few meters back. She was still standing, unhurt.
“No way—what did she do?!”
As the mist cleared up, Krynu noticed that he had hit an icicle that emerged from the ground.
“I-Ice?! Could it be—?” He looked to his right, and the little girl he thought was not going to stand up again, did.
“Heh,” the blue-haired little girl smirked, her left hand pointing toward the green-haired Knight to sustain the icicle.
As if she wasn’t hurt at all, she was standing firmly… and her expression was now unlike before, her deep pink-eyes filled with confidence, as she smiled…
“Do not underestimate us…ossan.”
About Relic users:
The eyes of Relic users glow a different color to represent the activation of a power foreign to their natural bodies.
(Note: I may have missed a few occasions where I should have mentioned the eye color change, though I think I have been consistent since I started the fic.)
Not all Relic users have overflowing energy in the form of auras, only those who’s Relics produce so much energy that their bodies are not able to contain it all.About Oswald and Iris’ speeds, since both suddenly appeared behind their opponents:
Oswald actually used a spell to move that fast, named Shadow Step. With it, the user moves somewhat faster than with Sonic Move, since the user seems to teleport from one location to another; however, it can only be used where there are shadows. Also, just like Sonic Move, it cannot be used for long periods of time, just to move from one location to another.
Iris, on the other hand, is a speed type, and thanks in part to her enhancement spell, Gale, she moves at very high speeds, much like Fate. Obviously, though, her speed is not near as fast as Sonic Move.What Ashelyn really said at the very end:
“WATASHI WO DARE DATTE OMOTTE YARU?!”
:joke:
Well, I established quite a few conventions here, like overflowing energy and eye color changes. Any objections? :p
Also, that's how I envision dark energy (at least part of it)... I wonder if you guys had anything different in mind?
And any comments about the Avatar spells? :uhoh: :D
I like it though looks pretty good to me anyway.
Though I do have the sudden urge to go kill stuff with a hammer in Guild Wars…
*Straps on knights armor, loads up on adrenalin nukes and self heals, and heads out to find some skulls to crack.*
Very good points, but at least what happened to RF6's HQ was partially her fault, since she should have left at least one of the 4 Aces (in my opinion Signum) to guard it.
Guard it from what exactly? It was a surprise attack for Christ sake! Planning for possible eventualities is one thing ham stringing yourself with raging paranoia is another entirely. What possible evidence could she have used to deduce a large scale attack on their headquarters during the short time they’d be away at the conference? Because if you can’t come up with any you’re now basiclly complaining she isn’t psychic.
She had a basiclly confirmed threat to the Ground Forces Headquarters and took the only logical coruse by massing most of her forces, including her best units, at that point. By all appearance the enemy had nothing to gain by hitting her HQ it contained nothing that could possibly affect their attack on the GFHQ, none of her best troops were present so it presented little if any risk in terms of reinforcements from it, and it’s facilitates were nothing special and irreplaceable. In fact the only thing of worth in the entire place was Vivio who by all appearance during their first encounter the enemy had been totally willing to KILL in the crossfire to get a few of them. That’s not something that tends to scream “This person is important to them!”
If you can give me some solid evidence she could have used to deduce the possibility of an assault then I might concede, but I’ve yet to see a shred of such. Plus, this assume that one Ace could have stopped the attack, or that adapting to this deployment Jail wouldn’t simply have shifted an extra number or two onto RF6 HQ and off GFHQ. He had an absolutely huge information and initiative advantage so such a thing would hardly be difficult to do.
Further if you take Vivio out of the equation would the attack on RF6 HQ have mattered? At best it would have wounded a few second string non-frontline members, and caused some property damage the much maligned term, acceptable losses, comes to mind here. It’s only when you factor in Vivio, which again they didn’t and couldn’t know was so important at the time, that the attack on RF6 HQ becomes anything besides a minor spoiling/distraction operation. Me myself I wouldn't have left ANYONE behind, anyone that can fight would have been along for the ride as all signs point to GFHQ being the OK-Collar and I want all hands on deck... What most people seem to be advocating is splitting and weakening her forces at the main point of conflict on the fleetingly small chance of an attack on a, tactically speaking, (as far as she knows) irrelevant base.
Really the deck was stacked, the game was rigged, and RF6 was set up to fail and nothing they could have done IMO could have changed that so I just can’t grasp how you could try and blame them for it.
Really thought this required its separate post...
CODEX: DAEMONJAEGER is
OMFGWTFBBQ!!!!
Truly an exercise in the unabashed spread of BLUE EPICISUM!!!!!
:eek::bow::eek::bow::eek::bow::eek::bow::eek::bow:
Surely, the most extensive OC reference work around here :eek:
Although is it wrong that out of all refs in there, "Quattro Bageena" caught my attention the most? :uhoh::heh::D
And I wonder which James Raynor Kha met, the young, cocky one, or the older, more somber person? :heh:Yeah I let everything out on that one... :heh:
I did a very bad job at referencing... Wasn't balanced, hopefully the End of StrikerS can cover all of it.
"Quattro" also included sunglasses in his disguise, but the glasses weren't round, but pointed... :uhoh:
The older one, fresh from under Kerrigan's claws. :heh:
In that case I'll be trying to set up Kha for one too... :twitch: :heh::uhoh: :uhoh:

Guard it from what exactly? It was a surprise attack for Christ sake! Planning for possible eventualities is one thing ham stringing yourself with raging paranoia is another entirely. What possible evidence could she have used to deduce a large scale attack on their headquarters during the short time they’d be away at the conference? Because if you can’t come up with any you’re now basiclly complaining she isn’t psychic.
She had a basiclly confirmed threat to the Ground Forces Headquarters and took the only logical coruse by massing most of her forces, including her best units, at that point. By all appearance the enemy had nothing to gain by hitting her HQ it contained nothing that could possibly affect their attack on the GFHQ, none of her best troops were present so it presented little if any risk in terms of reinforcements from it, and it’s facilitates were nothing special and irreplaceable. In fact the only thing of worth in the entire place was Vivio who by all appearance during their first encounter the enemy had been totally willing to KILL in the crossfire to get a few of them. That’s not something that tends to scream “This person is important to them!”
If you can give me some solid evidence she could have used to deduce the possibility of an assault then I might concede, but I’ve yet to see a shred of such. Plus, this assume that one Ace could have stopped the attack, or that adapting to this deployment Jail wouldn’t simply have shifted an extra number or two onto RF6 HQ and off GFHQ. He had an absolutely huge information and initiative advantage so such a thing would hardly be difficult to do.
Further if you take Vivio out of the equation would the attack on RF6 HQ have mattered? At best it would have wounded a few second string non-frontline members, and caused some property damage the much maligned term, acceptable losses, comes to mind here.

OUCH!
You got me there.:heh:
I, myself was also thinking along Erio's line of thought. But I guess my opinion is overruled by your logic.:heh: This definitely would have gone well in the episode discussions as a good defense for RF6's side of the fence.:D But then, maybe they could have come up with more real life(geez:rolleyes:) tactical jargon that's beyond what I can handle right now or yield(however unlikely) the point and concentrate on bashing what they did at GC with more references to Stalin, Hitler, Rommel and the likes. You really should have seen the heated discussions there. Court-marshals and executions were also briefly mentioned, which IMHO are a little too over the top.:uhoh:
Right, they did fail miserably, 7arcs did a crappy job portrying the TSAB command. But too many salt was added to the wound.:heh:
In all, approved!:D I, for one is getting annoyed by all the RF6 and Hayate-bashing over the other threads. Estavali will find this nice.:D Seeing a well-built counter-defence against some of the equally well-built criticisms can certainly make one feel better. Thanks a lot!:D:D:D

Background
Spica was the result of a scientific experiment that attempted to copy the 'Knight' programs from the Book of Darkness. She was one of the last proto-types to be created before the TSAB raided the secret labs and put a stop to any further creations.
She was enlisted into the service of a warlord that was plotting the downfall of an imperial dynasty. It was there where she first met Jeno, who was hired for a similar purpose.
Spica was treated more as a fighting tool than a living being, every mission she was sent on just required her to fight to the death. Over time, she herself had believed that she is nothing more than a weapon for the humans to use, and that she will never be seen as an equal by them.
Jeno was the first human who had challenged that belief of hers. When confronted with the question as to why he was doing all that for her, he admitted that he himself didn't know the answer, but he did say that it didn't feel like the wrong thing to do. Though the REAL reason was painfully obvious.
In one fatefully mission, due a failed assault, she was cornered by TSAB enforcer Haralown. Just when the final blow was about to be deal, Jeno arrived in the nick of time to save her. It was the first time he had done anything for another person on his own will, a gesture Spica never thought she had deserve.
Soon after that incident, she became the first person to have received a genuine smile from Jeno. In return, he was the person she gave her first smile to.
After switching sides to aid Clyde and the TSAB, Jeno confronted his former employer in order to defeat him and free her from his will. With that, her first act of freedom was to stand by Jeno as his human life came to an end.
After joining the ranks as one of the Destroyers, Jeno made a offhanded remaked that he would have to deal with for the rest of his immortal life. He said that since neither of them would age now, entering a romantic relationship shouldn't have much complication know as it did before.
Unfortunately, Spica took it very seriously, hence crushing Jeno's dreams of aquiring his own harem.

Initially, he had attempted to carry on with his intentions behind her back, but after eavesdropping on her sorrowful confession with Freya about how she would accept and support his decisions (Among other dramatic romance stuff), he became guilt-ridden for the first time in his life.
These days Spica just stays at his castle retreat in Seraphim along with Cero's 13 loli-meido catgirls. They usually tend to the household errands till the Destroyers returns. Till this day, Jeno had never openly admit to their relationship, yet he has never said otherwise either. Jeno still does his best to carry out his dream, but the image of her first smile just seem to burn brighter in his memories as the time passes.

I for one never gave a damn about Vivio/RF6 HQ's loss or anything. True, that was one aspect no one could've really predicted anyway.
However, that never changed the fact that RF6's preparations and execution of this anti-unknown-factor-that-technically-had-the-power-to-defeat-GCHQ sucked royally bad.
It really felt like, "okay, let's be prepared for difficulty Very Easy, Easy, Normal and Hard. What if they enemy comes in the Very Hard, Extremely Hard or Devil May Cry? Whatever, we'll just wing it if it comes to that."
And honestly, it was just "Very Hard", since Scaglietti didn't shoot to kill. Otherwise, Signum, Hayate and everyone inside RF6 HQ would be dead.

@TK: I 80% agree with what you're saying but maybe they could at least have a better defense at the RF6 base cause when i play strategy games, i always leave a few forces behind to guard the hq/mothership/commander
no offense though, just a thought of mine

And honestly, it was just "Very Hard", since Scaglietti didn't shoot to kill. Otherwise, Signum, Hayate and everyone inside RF6 HQ would be dead.
I have no complaints about this part. GC is where they really failed, I understand that much. I was more referring to the RF6 facility part. And about my complaining, let's just say I'm being a little immature and letting my emotions get ahead of me due to stress.:p Everyone's free to voice their thoughts. Even to the extent of applying high-end Earth-militaristy tactical criticisms to a Mahou Shoujo show that just happened to be mishandled a bit. (Just as arkhangelsk said, they could have made RF6 fail without making it too bad.) It just got a little aggravating in the long run. I just found it a bit excessive. But I'm not about to challenge well-thought tactical anlyses when I have little to no tactical study in my background; aside from saying that 'This is NANOHA!', which would have been a bit redundant as a point.
In a nutshell, I accept that RF6 failed in one of the most humiliating manners. And I certainly have several gripes about how they handled the situation; as well as disapproving of the Aces' unfounded overconfidence. But I'm not too happy about the excessive grilling lately, either. Let's just say I'm nuetral/leaning on RF6's side slightly.
In the end, I'd put the blame on the producers!:heh:

Initially, he had attempted to carry on with his intentions behind her back, but after eavesdropping on her sorrowful confession with Freya about how she would accept and support his decisions (Among other dramatic romance stuff), he became guilt-ridden for the first time in his life.
These days Spica just stays at his castle retreat in Seraphim along with Cero's 13 loli-meido catgirls. They usually tend to the household errands till the Destroyers returns. Till this day, Jeno had never openly admit to their relationship, yet he has never said otherwise either. Jeno still does his best to carry out his dream, but the image of her first smile just seem to burn brighter in his memories as the time passes.
For his attitude, Jeno is incredibly lucky to have an incredibly beautiful wife like Spica, and her story is quite touching I must say :D:D:D And his situation is pure GOLD! :D Guess she's unknowingly got him around her finger :heh::heh: No harem for ya now :heh:

Only a CERTAIN type, remember :p
@_@ OHNOES! THE ACES ARE IN DANGER!!!
Spica doesn't mind his intentions :p
Doesn't mind?!?! @_@ THE ACES ARE REALLY IN DANGER!!!!
No :heh:, Freya is a Sinclairion royalty like Loki and Hemidall ;)
Ahh... Understood.:heh: You actuall have quite a lot of planned OC's, huh? That's cool.:D
However, that never changed the fact that RF6's preparations and execution of this anti-unknown-factor-that-technically-had-the-power-to-defeat-GCHQ sucked royally bad.
It really felt like, "okay, let's be prepared for difficulty Very Easy, Easy, Normal and Hard. What if they enemy comes in the Very Hard, Extremely Hard or Devil May Cry? Whatever, we'll just wing it if it comes to that."
And honestly, it was just "Very Hard", since Scaglietti didn't shoot to kill. Otherwise, Signum, Hayate and everyone inside RF6 HQ would be dead. Frankly I just don’t think there's that much more they could have done, fact of the matter is IMO at least that they didn’t have the MEANS to prep for those levels. You can be the most uber tactical master mind, but if someone gives you a thousand guys with bolt cutters and tells you to take out an M1 Abrams… What the hell are you going to do? Throw yourself in the tracks and hope it bogs down in the gore? Plus it’s not even that Rosy in this case, it’s more like you get a thousands guys, but only 10 of them are fit and will follow your orders, the rest are under the command of another guy that’s a total dink and they’ve all been eating nothing but 5 pounds of twinkles a day for six months and can barely run 100 feet before being exhausted.
Expecting RF6 to solo a swarm of drones, very powerful enemy mages, and numerous combat cyborgs is just unfair. BF6 needed to be bigger if it was going to take these guys alone (or the Ground Forces need to be vaguely competent), end of story, but then people are already whining that the series has too many characters already so we’d probably get bitching about how under developed all the extras were if it was say platoon size or something. And in the end RF6 wasn’t bigger and working with what they had, they never really stood a chance, no matter how much they planned they'd have failed utterly IMO.
I also doubt that the failure could be made to look much better, people don't like losers, and don't like seeing things they like lose. No matter how it was played people were going to whine that they "Should have done so and so" or "they made them look stupid." I've never seen a single major defeat of the "Good guys" that isn't endlessly ripped into by legions of nitpicking nerds. (You should have SEEN the shit storm when the Battlestar Pegasus Kamikazed into battle to save the Galactica... Nevermind that it was awe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUhC8VkoDa8)some (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awxLGua3CDA&mode=related&search=), that the show is CALLED Battlestar Galatica not Battlestar Pegasus, or that it was a huge and lasting set back instead of them pulling something out of bums and escaping scot free from what most thought was a suicide mission… No they just whined ENDLESSLY about what a “bad military decision” it was.)
But if the planning was SO bad, BESIDE totally altering canon and making RF6 much bigger or the GFHQ defenses tougher, what COULD they have done to avoid this failure?

@Kha: More servant refs, eh? Those avatars look like nice designs.
And where is Avenger, hm? :P :heh:
@Erio: And for you, good sir, those Auras (correct me if I'm wrong on the name) also look good. An ample range of abilities for each... I assume the Relic Weapon unit use 'em? Sue my lack of awareness, I'm tired. :heh:
And, to all concerned about the RF6 17 bit and V's tirade, sure, some of the blame has to and was directed at Regius, but we cannot help agreeing that it was also Hayate's decision to keep herself (although she was apparently needed in the seminar thing), Nanoha and Fate inside with only Fate getting out to battle the Sentoukijin in time (come to think of it, where the heck was Nanoha?).
It's poor tactical planning. Even she should know that the place is a prime target, despite the fact none of them knew that Vivio was to be captured. You don't leave mostly weak mages (save the Forwards) to act as your line of defense.
That's the obvious reason why the Numbers penetrated the base so effortlessly. Sure, as TK said, it would be out of hand for a force that has only eight decent members (Aces + Forwards + Ginga) to hold the base, but if Nanoha was out around the base's perimeter, at least they could have done something.
The only real reason why the group of Numbers got part-beat was that the forwards worked as a team for the best part of two minutes, minus Subaru's fit of rage. Had any of them tried to go solo against the Numbers, especially Nove or Cinque, they would be dead. If the forwards had not stood in to face the Numbers, most likely the most of the other defenders would be dead- this was evidenced, partly, in Ep 21 when Teana got the daylights beaten out of her, albeit against three Numbers and not one. That move by the forwards as a group was the only tactical decision made that worked, and I don't even think it was put forward by Hayate.
There was the very simple method of teleporation (come on, SS rank and there's no teleportation spell/plot device/whatever?) to get her out, and heck, how did Signum get out? Forgive me if I'm missing how, but I don't think an explanation was ever put forward. If she escaped, Hayate could have followed- maybe Signum actually used the "teleport plan", so to speak.
As Tk said, the defense was set up to fail from the word go. Poor placement of forces, ludicrous decisions by both commander and, prior to that, general, allowing for an easy intrusion into the base. The one we have to thank is Caro- had she not gone and summoned Voltaire, the entire force would have been screwed over.

@Kha: He knows Chinese now? :twitch: Like Lowe, I'm wondering what was said. :heh:
*Looks back on comments.* Well, to make sure this doesn't turn in to another Ep 17 Discussion Thread (even though I made a comment too :heh:), here's another one of Dark V's associates. A simple bio, the background is in progress, so bear with me.
Name: Edgar Ravenscroft Ede.
General Appearance:
http://kurogane.animeblogger.net/image/shana/03092.jpg
Age: Fifty-three.
Birthday: October 6th.
Birth year: Unknown, most likely in the mid-fifties on Earth.
Position/Rank in TSAB: None.
Affiliation: V, Numbers, Doctor Jail Scaglietti and cohorts.
Home World: 97th Non-Administrated World- Earth. (Nationality: English)
Device Name: Eclat. (Latin for "Excellence"), handed down to him from older members in his bloodline.
Device Type: Armed Device, with a heightened form of sentience.
Device Appearance: Cane sword.
Example:
http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/images/SH2132.jpg
Magic style: Mid-Childan.
Magic symbol: Circle.
Magic color: Olive green.
Magic element: None in particular, though he is partial to using Saggita Magica in the form of water arrows.
Partner: None, though he is an old acquaintance of V's father and therefore sees himself as a protector of the masked man.
Appearance: Edgar is never seen not in his usual attire- a simple black suit topped off with a fedora of a matching color.
Personality: Usually a kindly and stately figure, he is well-mannered to generally all that he meets, be it friend or foe. He does hold some reserved thoughts about the Doctor, primarily concerning his well-being, and thinks him to be rather "distorted" in "terms regarding his mind". He addresses V as "sir", almost acting like something of a butler with him under the masked man's command. V, despite his standing in Scaglietti's corps, looks upon Edgar respectfully as a figure of seniority. Contrasting to his usual well-mannered nature, he can be serious when the situation applies, and will defend what he must, no matter who the adversary might be.
Style: His cane sword is something of a rarity amongst devices, and Edgar himself wields it very much like a sabreur, a fencer who is a practitioner in the art of wielding a saber. His fighting style consists of a variety of quick and heavy strikes encompassing many ranges, and he has shown himself to be more than adequate, a notable instance being when, in a test that Jail designed to for Edgar to "show his worth", he stood his ground against Tre. Backed up by magic, the old man's techniques are a force to be reckoned with.
As said, this is brief, and I will most likely make changes. The biography is to come soon...have to do Theo's and Sigourney's, too. Cookie for guessing who is in his "General Appearance" field. :heh:

And, to all concerned about the RF6 17 bit and V's tirade, sure, some of the blame has to and was directed at Regius, but we cannot help agreeing that it was also Hayate's decision to keep herself (although she was apparently needed in the seminar thing), Nanoha and Fate inside with only Fate getting out to battle the Sentoukijin in time (come to think of it, where the heck was Nanoha?).
Flying around the basement with Teana in her arms looking for Ginga (good thing Subaru didn’t see THAT), so this could be as much Nanoha’s fault for dicking around as anything. :p It wasn’t Hayate’s fault at all she was needed in the damn meeting, if the meeting isn’t canceled she needs to be their, again we have that orders thing… What was she going to do go “Fuck you superior officers that already don’t really like me I’m going to sit outside and wait for an attack that may or may not come!”
I've already covered why you'd want at least someone inside and them being inside wouldn't even have been an issue if they had their damn devices. "oh someones attacking?" *blows out window, joins battle*
It's poor tactical planning. Even she should know that the place is a prime target, despite the fact none of them knew that Vivio was to be captured. You don't leave mostly weak mages (save the Forwards) to act as your line of defense.I can't tell which base your refering too, if it's RF6 HQ I've been over why it dosen't matter.
As far as anyone knows all that RF6 HQ has is some dorms, a few labs, offices, and a small command center. Big whoop. If you ignore Vivio it’s nothing of note, if they want it so bad… Let them have it and withdraw. Wow they captured a gloried office building, awesome that’ll show um!
If you refer to the GFHQ I've considered sevreal altered deployments but it always results in total failure IMO, sometimes even worse then canon. This is one I considered for instance:
This is one concession I’ll give one of the captains and perhaps both lieutenants should have stayed outside, (not both I’ve been over why I’d want at least one inside near the VIPs) We’ll say Nanoha stays outside since she tends to be with the forwards more and you mentioned her. It wouldn’t have mattered a ton though IMO one of them still needs to go off and stop Zest, and if Nanoha goes you’re down your biggest hitters right off the bat anyway. Plus Zest was S+ and Nanoha will be working under limiters (no contact with anyone that can remove them ANOTHER handicap); it wouldn’t have been any kind of curbstomp in fact she might well lose. Vita lost when she tried, and Signum is getting smacked around by Zest in the new raws so they’d do little better.
So really you OUGHT to send two people to assure Zest is stopped, that leaves just one left, probably one of the lieutenants. I’d say it SHOULD be Vita as she she’s more experienced with the Forwards, but she might well act like a brat and insists on chasing after Nanoha’s ass, it doesn’t really matter either way though. Rein goes with the pair facing the largest know threat, Zest, so whoever goes with the kiddes is stuck at her normal level.
Zest seems more like a decoy then anything, confronted with two powerful enemies he’d probably just mess around buying time. Which is fine, every minute he ties up two heavy hitters is another minute for the numbers to mess more shit up. The Lieutenant with the forward probably makes the first encounter with the numbers significantly more lopsided, or perhaps the numbers just don’t engage and all go for Ginga first. If the later (highly likely) as in canon she’s stomped and captured quickly, first failure check. It’s also entirely possible that under this altered timeline no one shows up to even try and prevent this so the kidnappers remain fresh to rejoin the battle elsewhere.
If the numbers don’t attack though the forwards group probably gets to Fate faster and gets her, her device, Signum is already outside or maybe the LT inside so the only device to be carried up is Hayate’s. They likely get word of the attack on RF6 HQ around now too as in canon, Fate likely as in canon decides to head their, Nanoha is already outside fighting Zest and so is indisposed.
Since Fate opted not to have Signum go with her in canon she probably leaves the LT at the scene in this version too, with Subaru and Teana, and tells them to try to find Ginga and neutralize any numbers in the building. She’d probably leave with Caro and Eilo to try and get back to the RF6 HQ and assist as in canon though she’d be intercepted before getting far.
The numbers and chibi-rider have probably already pwned most of RF6 HQ by now and nearly have Vivio. If Fate gets out a few minutes earlier, (probable in this timeline), they might just step up the pace a little and waste less time with theatrics while overrunning the base. At least one would hope so. Anyway they’d certainly still nab Vivio before anyone shows up.
Fates combat with the numbers proceeds pretty much as canon. Zest probably disengages around this point again as in canon, probably worse for wear compared the original, but that would be about the only change.
Inside the remaining forwards and whichever LT is with them probably hunt for Ginga, Subaru probably runs off alone as in canon to look for her. If as above though the numbers captured her long ago (extremely likely) though she’s probably long been carried off. Despite that they might well hang around though and try to lure Subaru in, not hard and highly likely to be successful, and without seeing Ginga’s messed up ass as a trigger her going psycho on them seems a long shot. She probably gets stomped pretty fast, Teana and the LT might catch up in time to try and save her, but unlike in canon were the Cyborgs had been messed up by Berserker-Subaru and had a captain bearing down of them here they have only a single forward and an LT and much fresher, they might well fight and at the least it seems entirely possible they’d be able to delay long enough for one of them to carry off Subaru.
Its now officially WORSE then canon.
Caro probably still blasts the crap out of the stuff around RF6 HQ, but it doesn’t matter the enemy has both Ginga and Subaru, AND Vivio… total failure.
I can’t really think of a scenario that doesn’t end at least as bad or worst, even if we put Fate outside at the start all that changes is that the two cyborgs confront her sooner.
That's the obvious reason why the Numbers penetrated the base so effortlessly. Sure, as TK said, it would be out of hand for a force that has only eight decent members (Aces + Forwards + Ginga) to hold the base, but if Nanoha was out around the base's perimeter, at least they could have done something. Again I can’t tell if this refers to RF6 HQ or GF HQ, ("base" isn't really very despecreptive.) If it's the former then just see my note about shifting a few extra numbers over, same result slightly more fireworks. Without her at GFHQ it should be quite easy to shift a few numbers over.
Also without her present at GFHQ it seems highly possible that BOTH Subaru and Ginga could well end up captured, as really the only thing that seemed to save Subaru was that Nanoha was getting awfully close and the borgs were no condition to rumble with a fresh S rank mage.
If you refer to GFHQ see above AU for my view of the likely outcome.
The only real reason why the group of Numbers got part-beat was that the forwards worked as a team for the best part of two minutes, minus Subaru's fit of rage. Had any of them tried to go solo against the Numbers, especially Nove or Cinque, they would be dead. If the forwards had not stood in to face the Numbers, most likely the most of the other defenders would be dead- this was evidenced, partly, in Ep 21 when Teana got the daylights beaten out of her, albeit against three Numbers and not one. That move by the forwards as a group was the only tactical decision made that worked, and I don't even think it was put forward by Hayate. So the numbers get inside slightly faster and maybe kill a bunch of guards... unless they get to something important them running around inside hardly seems like an issue. None of them have really shown the ability to acutally demolish a building this size in any sane amount of time from what I recall so in this case just letting them past while you form up and regroup seems totally acceptable.
In fact choosing in engage them might be considered a blunder. A tactical withdrawal to equip and get you heavy hitters into action faster might well have worked better. Also if your attack FAILs now your heavy hitters are useless as the enemy has all their devices… opps. Acutally looking at it like this it was incredibly reckless for them to engage and not retreat and link up their superiors.
There was the very simple method of teleporation (come on, SS rank and there's no teleportation spell/plot device/whatever?) to get her out, and heck, how did Signum get out? Forgive me if I'm missing how, but I don't think an explanation was ever put forward. If she escaped, Hayate could have followed- maybe Signum actually used the "teleport plan", so to speak.Because clearly a military command center in a lock down mode would have NO safe guards against unauthorized entry and exit via teleportation… nevermind the AMF all the over the damn place from the drones. :rolleyes:
As Tk said, the defense was set up to fail from the word go. Poor placement of forces, ludicrous decisions by both commander and, prior to that, general, allowing for an easy intrusion into the base. The one we have to thank is Caro- had she not gone and summoned Voltaire, the entire force would have been screwed over.Acutally I feel RF6 did fairly well given the ludicrous handicaps they labored under and that 99% of the blame is square on the tards in charge of the GFHQ's troops.
OUCH!
You got me there.:heh:
I, myself was also thinking along Erio's line of thought. But I guess my opinion is overruled by your logic.:heh: Careful you’ll inflate my ego so much it’ll burst… It is good to see that all that time time spent buffing my Verbosity, and Fierce Burning Logic stats seems to be paying off though. :p
This definitely would have gone well in the episode discussions as a good defense for RF6's side of the fence.:D But then, maybe they could have come up with more real life(geez:rolleyes:) tactical jargon that's beyond what I can handle right now or yield(however unlikely) the point and concentrate on bashing what they did at GC with more references to Stalin, Hitler, Rommel and the likes. You really should have seen the heated discussions there. Court-marshals and executions were also briefly mentioned, which IMHO are a little too over the top.:uhoh: I acutally lurked a bit in that, but I’ve been involved in crap storms like that before, and I got the vibe that unless RF6 started goose stepping and citing military text-books during their episode long operation briefs they wouldn’t be satisfied. I don’t usually pick debates when I feel the other side isn’t going to be even vaguely amendable to my view it’s like smashing your head into a brick wall, painful and ultimately pretty pointless.
Still if they really get nutty again maybe give me a yell; I’ve bashed my head against walls before for various reasons. Unless of course I also find whatever action is being debated unforgivably stupid then you’re sod out of luck! I pride myself on a certain level of neutrality, clearly not totally natural, I am arguing for one side after all, but to try and look at each thing on a case by case basis. In this case after watching the eps and considering possibilities I felt that there was really little RF6 could have done that didn’t result in the same or a worse outcome and that the various claims of incompetence and such where largely unfair given the craptasic hand they’d been dealt.
In another case though I might have thought differently, I really do like logic and considered analysis of things. As if some of my earlier posts didn’t make that clear.
Right, they did fail miserably, 7arcs did a crappy job portrying the TSAB command. But too many salt was added to the wound.:heh:Pretty much.
In all, approved!:D I, for one is getting annoyed by all the RF6 and Hayate-bashing over the other threads. Estavali will find this nice.:D Seeing a well-built counter-defence against some of the equally well-built criticisms can certainly make one feel better. Thanks a lot!:D:D:D I’ll admit to be being a bit of a sucker for an underdog, RF6’s performance wasn’t exactly stellar, but their were ALLOT of mitigating factors and trying to pass it off as totally their fault due to sheer incompetence is just not being fair at all IMO.
This is one area in which, despite my like of military settings, I often find myself dismayed by my fellow military fans/nuts habits. If this had been a band of wandering heroes trying to save a castle besieged by summoned demons, I’m certain we’d be hearing 50 times less crap about poor tactics, incompetence, etc even if the overall chain of events was about the same. Sadly military trappings seems to entail attracting a certain number of very anal people to the show that feel the need to tear apart everything from rank structure, to dress codes, to titles of address while seeming considering the needs of the actual story and plot totally secondary.
Also you need to remember that your average script or manga writer is likely not an ex/current member of or nearly as obsessed with the military as some of us. He’s probably going to use clichés, he might have some misconceptions, and he may violate certain common tactical and strategic paradigms for the sake of plot of out of ignorance. He also probably doesn’t get to bounce his ideas and tactics off of 20 other people in a group discussion before he pens his story... So let's cut the dude a LITTLE slack.
Anyway I now need to go engage in my Vampire'ish sleeping habits *pulls the blinds and gets out his sleeping mask* later.

Well, I'm just being analytical, and brief this time around because I don't want this to be an Ep Discussion thread. :heh:
By base, I did mean the RF6 HQ, and looking on your likely outcomes, I do see that they do work...to a better degree than what happened to RF6 in the actual episode, yes.
Now that I look back on what you said, the building itself isn't important at all...but obviously what the Numbers took is, at least to them, and you can't deny that.
The teleportation scheme was something I thought up, and thought that it also could have been used...but your points do come to my attention. And as for retreating and linking up with their superiors, I assume you mean the Forwards doing so? That would have been a better option, yes.
And it is partly the fault on those in charge of the troops in reference to what happened, but we can't ignore the statement that Hayate made errors, too.

I had wanted Agito's new master to be Erio :heh:
What they could do is just put Lutecia in hot water and force Agito to team up with him :p
And even with the lost of Vivio (please happen please happen), that would still be 3-4 possible lolis :D
Speaking of which, what are the limitations/requirements to being able to use a Unison Device anyway? Is it restricted only to Ancient-types, or what?
And Zest would never allow Erio to be Agito's master, unless Agito demanded it. Zest's personal standards for Agito's Lord seems to be something around his level along with high magical power, compatibility, skilled combat skills, along with having the personification of a true Belka Knight. Pretty high standards. I mean, Vita was 'good' in his eyes, yet he never really thought of her being a good candidate for Agito's Lordship. Meanwhile, he gave a lot of praise towards Signum.
What did you do in the Negiverse, Kha, hm?
How far did you go, hm? HM?! :D :heh:Oi oi. :eyebrow: It's not me again. I'm like most Clerics, stuck in the world I live in.
On a side note, I don't know why, looking at Oswald's title constantly conjures up this image in my head:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f7/Black_knight_Berserker.jpg
:heh::D That looks :cool:, now if only it didn't look so ricketty... :heh:
Btw, due to me being more familiar with Mai Otome, I thought of "Aswald", thus creating a cyborgy image. The guy's possible affliation to Scag doesn't help... :heh:
I wonder what foul energies have entered the Negiverse now... :uhoh:
Yes Kha, what did you do? :uhoh::uhoh:*glances around*
:uhoh:In a multiverse far far away, the Naaru carried on their Crusade for order...
On one branch of time-space, they came across a timeline having a massive rupture, meaning that the timeline was decaying to oblivion. This timeline centered around the sexploits of one underaged teacher going against labor laws to teach a harem class English. But apparently, due to some disagreement between it's Producers and Ken Akatmatsu the patron Gods, they gave the universe a premature ending and abandoned the universe.
But to the Naaru S'veon, who watched the boy grow, felt that much Light can be projected from this world, and the Naaru worked to save it.
The Library Island dimension was the worst hit from the disaster, where all lines between fact and fiction had collapsed, resulting in characters from within books to break free from their realms and enter the Materium. It was a mess, but also an oppotunity.
On 22nd Sept, 2005, after the Libram of Devotion was dropped into the messed up worlds, Kouya the Alpha of the Library Island Wolves, was born from the Libram and into the Materium.
Kouya's adventures would entail hi-jinxes and love triangles, but most of all, it resulted in a unconcious harem battle between Kouya and Negi.
Nodoka, being an avid reader of the Bloodfang novel series, was chosen to be the Mistress of the Wolves. Kouya soon worked out how to "put the spin on and screw it into" Gattai with Nodoka into SHO-NEN TEPPA NODO-KOUYA!!!
Book Boy Breakthrough Nodo-Kouya:eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin:
:heh:
Genya: *Sigh* :upset:
Zest: Now, now, Nakajima-san, it's a phase. I'm sure in time, someone will learn to appreciate you better. It's not like Quint-san's leading the race. Harlaown-kun is a... well-sought after...individual...after all. :heh:
Genya: Why is that not making me feel any better? :(
Zest: Well, Regius and I aren't exactly any better... ah, a song is playing. Hmm... a new recruit? Seems to be quite young.
Genya: Oh great. :upset:
Zest: Hmm?
~~~
My hearts beats out for you,
My dreams are all gone,
Love is a promise...
Of unspoken words,
suppressed till 1000 years later.
~~~
Zest: I get the feeling someone's looking at me... :confused:
~~~
Ignored and helpless,
till it turns to dust,
When I needed it most, you came to me...
My shining light...
I can't suppress it anymore...
All the love deep down in my heart...
~~~
Zest: Hmm... ah, I remember her. I think she was the one whom I helped during one of the mock-battle training. She doesn't look like she came with any teammates... Does she know anyone here?
Genya: Not exactly any better, huh? :(
Zest: You said something?
Genya: Nah.
~~~
Because 1000 years later,
We will no longer be in this world...
There would be no way to hold your hands,
To ever have your love...
~~~
Zest: She looks really emotionally invested into this song. Whoever she's singing for, he must be quite a lucky boy.
Genya:... Boy, huh? In a way, you're actually luckier than Harlaown-kun...
I mean! I mean! Look at Agito! Lutecia! :uhoh:
*runs from Full Drive*:D :D :D :D

Speaking of which, what are the limitations/requirements to being able to use a Unison Device anyway? Is it restricted only to Ancient-types, or what?
Yeah I was wondering that as well, it's the only thing I'm not sure off in my plan :heh:
But then again, is Zest using Ancient Velka?
And Zest would never allow Erio to be Agito's master, unless Agito demanded it. Since Agito wants Zest, Zest's personal standards for Agito's Lord seems to be something around his level along with high magical power, compatibility, skilled combat skills, along with having the personification of a true Belka Knight. Pretty high standards. I mean, Vita was 'good' in his eyes, yet he never really thought of her being a good candidate for Agito's Lordship. Meanwhile, he gave a lot of praise towards Signum.
I'm not thinking about anything official, I'll still be happy enough if it happens just once in their lifetime ;)
Hell, Erio could even try convincing Zest the "Jack Bauer" style :D
"Damnit we're running out of time! If we don't go now, MILLIONS of people are going to die you hear me?! And it'll be on your head! You're just going to have to trust me!"
"Lucino! I need that satelite coverage up now!"
"Alto, where that chopper!?"
"Griffith, are the TAC teams in position?!"
"Shari, upload the Schematics of the building to my PDA!"

@Chaos: Hey, hey, hey. Aren't we forgetting a crack possibility in Erio's harem here?
*Points to own avatar.* :D :heh:
And, a little random piece.
Only a duo of figures engulfed in darkness stood in mid-air, watching the chaos that was the destruction of the Riot Force Six headquarters unfold meticulously before their eyes.
The first, clad in his trademark gray and black outfit, mask included, was V. A blood red IS circle was spinning below him under his feet, holding him aloft. He viewed the scene with his arms folded, watching with a concealed grin.
The second was a much older man, dressed in a suit and fedora. This was V's butler, Edgar Ede, a Mid-Childan mage who had defected to Scaglietti's corps for reasons unclear. V had a good sense of respect for the man- after all, he was the one who raised him in a way after experiments on his person had finally come to a close, and, despite his skill, he looked up to the aging character as a senior. He watched on with silent concern.
The butler's head turned to his masked companion when the latter let out an almost blissful chuckle.
"Do you enjoy destruction, sir?", Edgar inquired simply.
Ending his bray of laughter, V turned to the older man. "If you mean the destruction of enemies, old friend, then yes! Enemies are such, and they must be dealt with..." He lifted his hands upwards and tightened his fist in a gesture of emphasis, fiercely, as if crushing some invisible object. "Quickly and with efficiency. " He paused, with only the faint sound of flames and distant explosions filling the silence, then reminded his senior: "You remember what was told, do you not?"
Edgar pondered silently, his head lowered. V's words brought what the Doctor ("Insane as he is", his inner self said) had ordered ("Orders must be followed, nonetheless- it is imperative." His thoughts again) back to the front of his mind, though it had been only through V's coercion that the original orders were shifted.
"Take care of any and all targets of note, as well as securing our objectives...this operation will be carried out without leniency or mercy."
The old man recalled some of the Numbers, the seniors among them, being somewhat shocked by this order, but he could not help agreeing that V was right- if the enemy was allowed the slightest chance to recuperate, new trouble would bloom.
"Nipping the seeds in the bud, so to speak."
Ede spoke his thoughts aloud, to which he was met with applause from his ally. "Indeed, Edgar!", V cried. "A perfect plan of action, wouldn't you say?"
Edgar nodded in compliance. "That it is, sir. But do you think some of the more fledgling of those cyborgs are willing to cause human collateral?"
V smiled knowingly underneath his covering. "My friend," he said, assuringly and sharply, "if they were hesitant why would they be undertaking this operation, hm?"
The old man made no movement, but his eyes glinted with a sense of clarity. "Quite right sir", he stated, promptly.
V turned back and let out a sigh, then clapped his hands. "Well, we have errands to perform, too- we can't just stand back and let our companions do all the work now, can we?"
In response, Edgar unconcealed his device- a cane sword, rather long in length, with the handle on the holding end oddly shaped to look like a dog's head. It ejected a single cartridge, and the blade glowed a deep blue, humming with energy.
"That we cannot..." The butler shook his head."So it is best that we make haste most quickly, sir."
"That it is, my friend", V replied, surging forward towards the flaming facility with Edgar following closely behind him. "That it is."
And so the pair, senior and mastermind, dived down into the ensuing havoc below.
Edgar is a "speak when spoken to" type person, so that explains his lack of main commentary, but do tell me what you all think.
@Chaos again: Erio Bauer= :heh:

Who knows?
However, considering that he used to be a 'madoushi', (( not a 'kishi' )), and being in the TSAB Capital Defense, most likely Ground Forces, and was only a Striker-class one no less...
If he's as weak as he's implied 8 years ago, even as a failure, he's got a pretty large power-buff so it's hard to tell.

Oh, look. Kha the defender has arrived!:heh: Does the second one mean "Don't touch my Fate?":heh:
Uhoh... Could it be a warning of the reemegence of EXTREME-FANBOY MODE KHA?!?!:uhoh::uhoh::uhoh:
Spica falls under the Category of women that he has a soft spot for :p
(Lance: "But it was actually more like 'love at first sight' ;)" )
Quite a fitting rabu-rabu story.:D
Lance: "I'm surprised that most people still seem to find him more of a threat to these kind of situations then the rest of us... Sigh...:( "
Maybe it's because we haven't seen much of Lance.:heh:
The Sinclairions are named after Norse gods :p
And at this point in time, there are 28 Destroyers enlisted to the Sinclairions ;)
Of course, I'm not going to use all of them :p
Well of course, not! That's too many. Not even Kha could easily handle that!(Though he has about as much/even more as that.:heh:)
Lance: "Sigh..."
Cero (Golden eyes) : "Well, I've warned you not to continue your lone wolf behaviour... The ladies aren't going to come to you...."
Lance: "I don't want to hear that coming from someone who was given 13 Nekomimi Loli meidos as a birthday gift."
That's one lucky guy...:twitch::twitch::twitch:
@Kha: He knows Chinese now? :twitch: Like Lowe, I'm wondering what was said. :heh:
*Looks back on comments.* Well, to make sure this doesn't turn in to another Ep 17 Discussion Thread (even though I made a comment too :heh:), here's another one of Dark V's associates. A simple bio, the background is in progress, so bear with me.
Name: Edgar Ravenscroft Ede.
General Appearance:
http://kurogane.animeblogger.net/image/shana/03092.jpg
Age: Fifty-three.
Birthday: October 6th.
Birth year: Unknown, most likely in the mid-fifties on Earth.
Position/Rank in TSAB: None.
Affiliation: V, Numbers, Doctor Jail Scaglietti and cohorts.
Home World: 97th Non-Administrated World- Earth. (Nationality: English)
Device Name: Eclat. (Latin for "Excellence"), handed down to him from older members in his bloodline.
Device Type: Armed Device, with a heightened form of sentience.
Device Appearance: Cane sword.
Example:
http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/images/SH2132.jpg
Magic style: Mid-Childan.
Magic symbol: Circle.
Magic color: Olive green.
Magic element: None in particular, though he is partial to using Saggita Magica in the form of water arrows.
Partner: None, though he is an old acquaintance of V's father and therefore sees himself as a protector of the masked man.
Appearance: Edgar is never seen not in his usual attire- a simple black suit topped off with a fedora of a matching color.
Personality: Usually a kindly and stately figure, he is well-mannered to generally all that he meets, be it friend or foe. He does hold some reserved thoughts about the Doctor, primarily concerning his well-being, and thinks him to be rather "distorted" in "terms regarding his mind". He addresses V as "sir", almost acting like something of a butler with him under the masked man's command. V, despite his standing in Scaglietti's corps, looks upon Edgar respectfully as a figure of seniority. Contrasting to his usual well-mannered nature, he can be serious when the situation applies, and will defend what he must, no matter who the adversary might be.
Style: His cane sword is something of a rarity amongst devices, and Edgar himself wields it very much like a sabreur, a fencer who is a practitioner in the art of wielding a saber. His fighting style consists of a variety of quick and heavy strikes encompassing many ranges, and he has shown himself to be more than adequate, a notable instance being when, in a test that Jail designed to for Edgar to "show his worth", he stood his ground against Tre. Backed up by magic, the old man's techniques are a force to be reckoned with.
As said, this is brief, and I will most likely make changes. The biography is to come soon...have to do Theo's and Sigourney's, too. Cookie for guessing who is in his "General Appearance" field. :heh:
Lamies!:D Hehe. I found that old guy from Shana pretty cool. The character is approved.:D

How come I feel that it computes?:heh:
Careful you’ll inflate my ego so much it’ll burst… It is good to see that all that time time spent buffing my Verbosity, and Fierce Burning Logic stats seems to be paying off though. :p
I'm just being appreciative.:heh: Seeing a solid argument on the excessively criticized side of the protagonists made me feel a whole lot better.:D I'm not making claims of perfect arguments, but, it does make my current views on the several matters less bleak.
I’ll admit to be being a bit of a sucker for an underdog, RF6’s performance wasn’t exactly stellar, but their were ALLOT of mitigating factors and trying to pass it off as totally their fault due to sheer incompetence is just not being fair at all IMO.
Agreed. But, being the protagonists and being labelled as the Best of the Best in the business sure can entail quite a number of criticisms.:heh:
This is one area in which, despite my like of military settings, I often find myself dismayed by my fellow military fans/nuts habits. If this had been a band of wandering heroes trying to save a castle besieged by summoned demons, I’m certain we’d be hearing 50 times less crap about poor tactics, incompetence, etc even if the overall chain of events was about the same. Sadly military trappings seems to entail attracting a certain number of very anal people to the show that feel the need to tear apart everything from rank structure, to dress codes, to titles of address while seeming considering the needs of the actual story and plot totally secondary.
And that's a very accurate summary of what just happened in the episode threads.:heh:
Also you need to remember that your average script or manga writer is likely not an ex/current member of or nearly as obsessed with the military as some of us. He’s probably going to use clichés, he might have some misconceptions, and he may violate certain common tactical and strategic paradigms for the sake of plot of out of ignorance. He also probably doesn’t get to bounce his ideas and tactics off of 20 other people in a group discussion before he pens his story... So let's cut the dude a LITTLE slack.
I see your point there.:heh: I'd say that the military seting really just got a lot of expectations... Which was quite reasonable. I myself is quite guilty of blaming it all on the producers with no remorse.:heh:
Now for something completely random...
Kha Zero, is that you?!?!?!
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4721/1188278020169ou4.jpg
Is that from the official manga?!?!:twitch::twitch::twitch:
That was what I had in mind for Scaglietti!reborn if he dies. :heh:
After all, I think it's pretty much confirmed he himself is Number Zero of his cyborg line, seeing his red IS circle and Yuuki Nao string powah.
APPROVED!:D
"I wish you look at me that way...
Your beautiful eyes looking deep into mine.

*runs from Full Drive*
Who's that?:uhoh:
:heh:
I dunno, someone fresh into Training School? Bridge-Bunny Trainee #7? Auris? :uhoh:
Who cares, the only requirement to join Zest's harem is to be 'small, young and a loli.' :p
:twitch::twitch::twitch:
Auris?!?!
Alright. I just woke up. We're in different timezones, aren't we? :(
Yeah... A fair number of us here are South-East Asians...
@ Aaron: It'll work out (the human-form issue). And Recoil Boost? The concept is awesome. I'll use it. Thanks! :D
Glad i couldbe of help.:)
Yeah. About the human form, I just thought that it would be too advanced to just do at a whim. Look at Rein! That's some insane tech, I tell you. So a holo-image would have to suffice for now.
And the Recoil Boost is meant to be a tactical weapon. It does NOT pack much damaging power, but it throws in a powerful kinetic burst that more often than not fling away anyone.:D It'll be quite useful.:D
Speaking of which, what are the limitations/requirements to being able to use a Unison Device anyway? Is it restricted only to Ancient-types, or what?
And Zest would never allow Erio to be Agito's master, unless Agito demanded it. Zest's personal standards for Agito's Lord seems to be something around his level along with high magical power, compatibility, skilled combat skills, along with having the personification of a true Belka Knight. Pretty high standards. I mean, Vita was 'good' in his eyes, yet he never really thought of her being a good candidate for Agito's Lordship. Meanwhile, he gave a lot of praise towards Signum.
Wasn't it mentioned in the data sheets with the DVD's?

Guard it from what exactly? It was a surprise attack for Christ sake! Planning for possible eventualities is one thing ham stringing yourself with raging paranoia is another entirely. What possible evidence could she have used to deduce a large scale attack on their headquarters during the short time they’d be away at the conference? Because if you can’t come up with any you’re now basiclly complaining she isn’t psychic.
She had a basiclly confirmed threat to the Ground Forces Headquarters and took the only logical coruse by massing most of her forces, including her best units, at that point. By all appearance the enemy had nothing to gain by hitting her HQ it contained nothing that could possibly affect their attack on the GFHQ, none of her best troops were present so it presented little if any risk in terms of reinforcements from it, and it’s facilitates were nothing special and irreplaceable. In fact the only thing of worth in the entire place was Vivio who by all appearance during their first encounter the enemy had been totally willing to KILL in the crossfire to get a few of them. That’s not something that tends to scream “This person is important to them!”
If you can give me some solid evidence she could have used to deduce the possibility of an assault then I might concede, but I’ve yet to see a shred of such. Plus, this assume that one Ace could have stopped the attack, or that adapting to this deployment Jail wouldn’t simply have shifted an extra number or two onto RF6 HQ and off GFHQ. He had an absolutely huge information and initiative advantage so such a thing would hardly be difficult to do.
Further if you take Vivio out of the equation would the attack on RF6 HQ have mattered? At best it would have wounded a few second string non-frontline members, and caused some property damage the much maligned term, acceptable losses, comes to mind here. It’s only when you factor in Vivio, which again they didn’t and couldn’t know was so important at the time, that the attack on RF6 HQ becomes anything besides a minor spoiling/distraction operation. Me myself I wouldn't have left ANYONE behind, anyone that can fight would have been along for the ride as all signs point to GFHQ being the OK-Collar and I want all hands on deck... What most people seem to be advocating is splitting and weakening her forces at the main point of conflict on the fleetingly small chance of an attack on a, tactically speaking, (as far as she knows) irrelevant base.
Really the deck was stacked, the game was rigged, and RF6 was set up to fail and nothing they could have done IMO could have changed that so I just can’t grasp how you could try and blame them for it.
:twitch:
:heh: Apparently you missed one of my comments on the previous page... here, letme point you to it:
Haha. Well, Hayate has all the best intentions in the world, and her decision to have all the captains, sub-captains, and forwards to go to GC was probably correct, since no one thought Scaglietti wanted Vivio, I guess.
The part that really needs repairing is the fact that Nanoha and Fate went inside GC, even though they knew that something was going to happen (from the prophesies and all) and that they would be disarmed if they go inside. That's like saying, "please pwn us!!" There was absolutely no reason for them to go inside... they didnt even attend to the conference. :rolleyes:
Me being an avid strategy games player, I know very well that leaving home unprotected is most of the time a bad thing. :) I believe her distribution of power was bad... really bad. That's why I say she should have spread her forces better. That's all. :)
So yeah, I actually think like you. :p Also, in case you were wondering, I dont like Vivio. I would have rather had Erio and Caro find her dead... :rolleyes:

Background
Spica was the result of a scientific experiment that attempted to copy the 'Knight' programs from the Book of Darkness. She was one of the last proto-types to be created before the TSAB raided the secret labs and put a stop to any further creations.
She was enlisted into the service of a warlord that was plotting the downfall of an imperial dynasty. It was there where she first met Jeno, who was hired for a similar purpose.
Spica was treated more as a fighting tool than a living being, every mission she was sent on just required her to fight to the death. Over time, she herself had believed that she is nothing more than a weapon for the humans to use, and that she will never be seen as an equal by them.
Jeno was the first human who had challenged that belief of hers. When confronted with the question as to why he was doing all that for her, he admitted that he himself didn't know the answer, but he did say that it didn't feel like the wrong thing to do. Though the REAL reason was painfully obvious.
In one fatefully mission, due a failed assault, she was cornered by TSAB enforcer Haralown. Just when the final blow was about to be deal, Jeno arrived in the nick of time to save her. It was the first time he had done anything for another person on his own will, a gesture Spica never thought she had deserve.
Soon after that incident, she became the first person to have received a genuine smile from Jeno. In return, he was the person she gave her first smile to.
After switching sides to aid Clyde and the TSAB, Jeno confronted his former employer in order to defeat him and free her from his will. With that, her first act of freedom was to stand by Jeno as his human life came to an end.
After joining the ranks as one of the Destroyers, Jeno made a offhanded remaked that he would have to deal with for the rest of his immortal life. He said that since neither of them would age now, entering a romantic relationship shouldn't have much complication know as it did before.
Unfortunately, Spica took it very seriously, hence crushing Jeno's dreams of aquiring his own harem.
http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9752/largeanimepaperscansomamh0.jpg (http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/8784/largeanimepaperscansomato9.jpg)
Initially, he had attempted to carry on with his intentions behind her back, but after eavesdropping on her sorrowful confession with Freya about how she would accept and support his decisions (Among other dramatic romance stuff), he became guilt-ridden for the first time in his life.
These days Spica just stays at his castle retreat in Seraphim along with Cero's 13 loli-meido catgirls. They usually tend to the household errands till the Destroyers returns. Till this day, Jeno had never openly admit to their relationship, yet he has never said otherwise either. Jeno still does his best to carry out his dream, but the image of her first smile just seem to burn brighter in his memories as the time passes.
Hey, what manga is this girl from? :D
Nice background... and lucky Jeno. :p
@TK: I 80% agree with what you're saying but maybe they could at least have a better defense at the RF6 base cause when i play strategy games, i always leave a few forces behind to guard the hq/mothership/commander
no offense though, just a thought of mine
:eek: Oh wow! I never expected someone to think like me on this one... Nice, haiz! :D

I haven't finished it, (( and I can't do so now due to PC blindness )) but I did give a preview that I would create the 3rd Child...based off...TEH MAJOR.
And just like the 1st Child and 2nd, I gave them each their own specialized Drone...
I think you should get the hint by now. ;)
Though if you want the Tachikomas in particular, go ahead. I have several spare cards left for Valkyrie's Drones. :p
Wasn't it mentioned in the data sheets with the DVD's?

Ah-AH?! F-Feito-c-chan! I didn't know you were here... :heh: Erm... What's with Bardiche...? Can you put that down... it's dangerous... :heh: :uhoh:
@Erio: And for you, good sir, those Auras (correct me if I'm wrong on the name) also look good. An ample range of abilities for each... I assume the Relic Weapon unit use 'em? Sue my lack of awareness, I'm tired. :heh:
Only Gwendolyn uses these Avatars. ;) A great deal of magic control is needed to sustain these enhancements, and the Druggies at least are not that good at magic control. :heh:

*Looks back on comments.* Well, to make sure this doesn't turn in to another Ep 17 Discussion Thread (even though I made a comment too :heh:), here's another one of Dark V's associates. A simple bio, the background is in progress, so bear with me.
Name: Edgar Ravenscroft Ede.
General Appearance:
http://kurogane.animeblogger.net/image/shana/03092.jpg
Age: Fifty-three.
Birthday: October 6th.
Birth year: Unknown, most likely in the mid-fifties on Earth.
Position/Rank in TSAB: None.
Affiliation: V, Numbers, Doctor Jail Scaglietti and cohorts.
Home World: 97th Non-Administrated World- Earth. (Nationality: English)
Device Name: Eclat. (Latin for "Excellence"), handed down to him from older members in his bloodline.
Device Type: Armed Device, with a heightened form of sentience.
Device Appearance: Cane sword.
Example:
http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/images/SH2132.jpg
Magic style: Mid-Childan.
Magic symbol: Circle.
Magic color: Olive green.
Magic element: None in particular, though he is partial to using Saggita Magica in the form of water arrows.
Partner: None, though he is an old acquaintance of V's father and therefore sees himself as a protector of the masked man.
Appearance: Edgar is never seen not in his usual attire- a simple black suit topped off with a fedora of a matching color.
Personality: Usually a kindly and stately figure, he is well-mannered to generally all that he meets, be it friend or foe. He does hold some reserved thoughts about the Doctor, primarily concerning his well-being, and thinks him to be rather "distorted" in "terms regarding his mind". He addresses V as "sir", almost acting like something of a butler with him under the masked man's command. V, despite his standing in Scaglietti's corps, looks upon Edgar respectfully as a figure of seniority. Contrasting to his usual well-mannered nature, he can be serious when the situation applies, and will defend what he must, no matter who the adversary might be.
Style: His cane sword is something of a rarity amongst devices, and Edgar himself wields it very much like a sabreur, a fencer who is a practitioner in the art of wielding a saber. His fighting style consists of a variety of quick and heavy strikes encompassing many ranges, and he has shown himself to be more than adequate, a notable instance being when, in a test that Jail designed to for Edgar to "show his worth", he stood his ground against Tre. Backed up by magic, the old man's techniques are a force to be reckoned with.
As said, this is brief, and I will most likely make changes. The biography is to come soon...have to do Theo's and Sigourney's, too. Cookie for guessing who is in his "General Appearance" field. :heh:
Is this the guy from Shakugan no Shana? :eek: So this is V's partner of sorts, eh?
Sof: Oi! What was that you just said?
Kha: I said-- :confused: What did I say?
Sof: :rolleyes:
It's one of those random omake moments where either Kha or Sophia suddenly spout something and have no idea what did they just say... It's just the 4th wall being pierced by Kaleidoscope magic... :heh:
Even Mai and Gwen had their GAR moment as a result... :uhoh: :heh:
R-really? :twitch: :heh:
@Thread: This is some concept art I found online:

Now what's the point of bringing this up? I've no idea. I'm still wondering what was I thinking when I started making this post. :heh: Maybe I wanted to see if anyone else has plans for an appearance using any of the chars here, then we can put this up as our Thread poster. :uhoh:
Thread poster? lol... I, for one, am not using any of those characters.
Hmm, I wonder what Keroko has in mind for the thread banner...

@Gale: Well, I thank you for allowing me to use the Tachikomas. If I ever make a character is based on one, though, who would it be aligned to...
If evil, then it would be the chirpy villain sort of person, since Tachikomas have a...well, I was about to say hyper nature, but I'm not so sure...well, that one in Ep 12 of SAC did.
Tachikoma: Weee~
*Speeds around the base crashing into things.*
V: Who on earth is he?
Edgar: Him? He's our new arrival, sir.
V: What seems to to the problem with him?
Edgar: His chip is undergoing a state of slight malfunction, sir.
*The tachikoma speeds by them and hits something, sparking following.*
V: The Doctor isn't going to be be happy about this.
:heh:
@Kha: *Imagines a tachikoma as a friend of Sakura.* Think of all the wild conversations that could ensue! :D And maybe having him has a device wouldn't be so bad...
@Aaron: Yes, good sir. Regius dies again. LIKE HE SHOULD DO. :D Edgar, V and the Numbers vs. RF6...and this time, the latter force puts up more of a fight. :heh:
Like a movie, hm? Well...that's given me ideas...
And on a side note, I'm still thinking of how to counter Subaru's berserk phase- it'll be kept, of course, but I mean having someone step in against her and all...it might be hard to do so, though.
@Erio: That he is- Lamies, "Spiral Organ"/"Corpse Collector" from Shakugan no Shana. A partner of sorts, that he is- he acts also as a butler and a confidante, in a sense.
@Kha You have Fate already and yet... KISAMA!!! :frustrated:

Go Feito-chan, go!! :D Kick his a$$!! :D:D:D
(Wait...shouldnt I be on my Meister's side...? Ah! But Feito-san is more important. :D)
Glad i couldbe of help.:)
Yeah. About the human form, I just thought that it would be too advanced to just do at a whim. Look at Rein! That's some insane tech, I tell you. So a holo-image would have to suffice for now.
And the Recoil Boost is meant to be a tactical weapon. It does NOT pack much damaging power, but it throws in a powerful kinetic burst that more often than not fling away anyone.:D It'll be quite useful.:D
It's perfect. Satsuhito's fighting style takes advantage of his insane speed (as Katsuhito, he was already pretty fast, but as Satsu, he's faster. The implants amplify that speed) and psychotic nature- Satsu tries to keep his opponent alive until the last possible minute, slowly wearing them down physically and mentally. The Recoil Boost (which I assume would be used in conjunction with Katsu/Satsu's device Claw King), with it's potential to disarm an opponent, would fit perfectly.

Oh dear, now you've really done it.:uhoh:
And yeah, I was also wondering why Kha wasn't going 'Avenging Zorn' on Aurion, given that he is very protective of the Aces. And probably more so for Hayate compared to Nanoha and Keroko due to her being a member of his harem...:heh::joke: But still, my point stands.

The Sinclairions are named after Norse gods
to Chaos: You do know that STAB R&D have an Actual Norse Goddess (Urd) working for them on the weekends, for kicks and giggles?
Might make for interesting experiences if one of the Destroyers ends up flirting with her on the assumption that she's just another 'Named after' Sinclairion, only to find out just how horribly out of his league he really is when he puts a foot wrong (though it being Urd, you can't help but wonder if it might be worth it anyway...)
As for the RF6 vs GCHQ attack...
I think the real problem here is that they've upped the ante way too much, and it's showing.
In Nanoha, Fate was better than Nanoha, but not by an unbelievable amount. Precia was much more powerful, but outnumbered.
In A's, The Wolkenritter were powerful, but never to the point where it seemed they couldn't be beaten. There was always that give and take that allowed any fight to be a matter of skill and luck. (the Book of Darkness was something else entirely of course, but we already knew from earlier in the series that it could be beaten...just that doing so had undesirable side effects.)
But in StrikerS, the enemy is both Qualitatively and Quantitatively superior (If Vita +Rein Zwei can't handle it, I doubt anything else the Bureau has can, ergo, IT Can't BE handled)
There are a dozen cyborgs, each of whom can fight the forwards, or even the Aces, to a standstill. There are Zest and Lutecia, who make the Wolkenritter and Aces seem like amateurs. There are untold thousands of drones. (And god knows what else)
Gradually increasingly powerful enemies are a staple of this kind of ongoing series, but they've jumped too far. Now, the only thing that can possibly beat Jail and co would seem to be some kind of massive Deus Ex Machina, which is just very unsatisfying. Unlike in the last two series, where with a little Courage, Effort, Teamwork, Skill and luck, the enemies could be beaten because they were roughly equal, in StrikerS the enemies are both too numerous and too powerful to see how they can be beaten in a straight fight.

Lemme help you summarize this...
JAIL IS DAMN AWESOME. :D:D:D
But seriously, you're right. If this season doesnt end with Jail winning, something is WRONG... :rolleyes: Obviously, though, he wont.
I just hope the producers watched Code Geass... :rolleyes:
And you know, now that I think about it... if there is ANYTHING good about StrikerS, it would be Jail and the Numbers. ;)

I believe it was retconned that Signum was in fact capable of mopping the floor with Fate and was just playing around with her. Besides the thing in the manga about the Knights going easy on them, wasn't there a sound stage line where she said that "what I had with Testarossa wasn't really the same [as between Vita and Nanoha], because she [Fate] was never in my league" or something to that effect?
In general I think you're overestimating the cyborgs and underestimating the TSAB forces. Yes, the two who go up against Fate (wingblades and boomerangs) are very strong... but in the info it says those two are by far the strongest aerial combatants. They aren't representative of the rest of the numbers- only the twin swords girl and the ray storm girl are close to their league, and they aren't in it. The top two cyborgs matching an ace in an antimagic field is a long ways from each cyborg matching an ace.
The weaker numbers are all either insanely specialized and need a team to function (heavy barrel, silver curtain, Nancy Maka- I mean, deep diver) or are only slightly more powerful than the forwards (bomb-knives, stupid Subaru clone, useless surfboard chick) and the forwards are only B-rank mages, maybe closing in on A right now.
And also... strong as Zest/Agito is, he obviously tires incredibly quickly. I think his advantage would depreciate pretty fast fighting a large group of enemies... and unlike the Army, the Navy can actually deploy groups of worthwhile fighters who know how not to get killed by superior opponents (see TSA ambush of Vita and Zafira).
If evil, then it would be the chirpy villain sort of person, since Tachikomas have a...well, I was about to say hyper nature, but I'm not so sure...well, that one in Ep 12 of SAC did. Tachikoma had a shared memory and consciousness in the first season since at the end of every day (deployments permitting) all of them are “synchronized” and exposed to each others memories. Any individuality is assigned by the owner and strictly in his head or in the case of Bauto’s due a bizarre bug in their protein based processors brought on by using natural instead of synthetic lubricants, which seems to have allowed it to retain some of its own unique memories. You see this when they end up arguing over which of them Bauto’s, since all of them have all each others memories none of them can really tell who’s who in the personality sense, so yeah they're all basiclly nutty 6 year olds in robot tank bodies...
During the second season they get a large server that stores their individual data, they can still readily share it if they like, but they don’t have too and they can now start to developed actual personalities and experience. (Well mostly, I suspect they still might be forced to share relevant combat experience) You start to see a bit of differentiation from this, some seem more bookish, some slightly less hyper, but most of them stay fairly close to the original base they were rebuilt off of. (That of the half crazed 6 year olds that were the first batch)
Basiclly while they have a very advanced AI said AI is still fairly immature and they act their Chronological age (probably like 4 or 5 by second Gig) at times. If allowed to grow it might well stabilize and quiet into something more “adult”. The problem with that seems to be they keep sacrificing themselves or getting blown up before this can happen. Clearly this poor guy is going to end up jumping in front of some killer spell to save his master in a tear jerking scene…
[PLASMA LANCER!!!]
Kha: YAA!!! (jumps over spell) Fate! It's not my fault! It's just happened!
[TRIDENT SMASHER!!!]
Kha: (runs through several mad denizens of the Thread, Trident Smasher sends them flying)
I meant Fate! TENJOU TENGE NO FEITO!!!
[PLASMA ZAMBER!!!]
Kha: SUMIMASE!!! :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin:
A possible reason for why Kha doesn't chase after Aurion? :uhoh: *mutter* Tch women are nothing but trouble… This is why I just avoid them entirely.*mutter*

@Tk: Well, I guess you're right. Tachikomas are rather immature in the AI sense, even in SAC. This little guy might do what those three Tachikoma did for Batou against that Armed Suit, who knows...but "he" is new, therefore thought is needed over what "his" eventual fate is.
@Clare and stormturmoil: Each of you has made valid points, but we can only see what the eventual outcome is. Whilst it is true that the Numbers can fight those of a higher caliber to a stalemate, that's usually in groups due to them being specialized, as said by you, Clare. We haven't seen any single Number fights, save Ginga vs. Subaru, and the former technically isn't a Number.
But turmoil makes a point in that Scaglietti's forces have the upper hand in terms of numbers and strength in some cases. However, we can only wait.
@ Erio: Indeed, the Numbers and Jail are a driving force of the series, good sir. :)
@Aaron: Tachikoma and Sakura, meeting? Situations abound! :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin: Design, we must! :heh:
And expect a little segment of old Edgar showing a rather unique exploit in...well, soonish, just to tell you all. Note that he ejected a cartridge and that, in turn affected his blade...but in what way? :uhoh:

Lemme help you summarize this...
JAIL IS DAMN AWESOME. :D:D:D
But seriously, you're right. If this season doesnt end with Jail winning, something is WRONG... :rolleyes: Obviously, though, he wont.
I just hope the producers watched Code Geass... :rolleyes:
And you know, now that I think about it... if there is ANYTHING good about StrikerS, it would be Jail and the Numbers. ;)
EDIT: @Nighty Where do you want me to allocate Akira and Dranac, under "TSAB : Behind the Light of AceS and StrikerS"?
EDIT2: Nighty, and what about Zerria, Juliet and Valkyrie?
Yeah, Akira/Dranac are TSAB and Z,J and the upcoming V is Unknown.
Well, the spoilers state that he and his Numbers are arrested, which means there are like zero deaths for the Numbers or maybe only a few... like Vivio...maybe... I can't help but think that if S4 deals with Alhazred, there is no other way but for him to show us his awesomeness again.
Maybe this time as an anti-hero with his cyborg girls.
:D
But regardless, Jail is not that strong. His Numbers are not especially powerful on a single man's basis, but what I really like is how he actually has a force that despite weak, with a solid coordination, can overcome the superior. I've said it before, but his non-combat Numbers like Sein, Quattro, Uno and to an extent, Cinque are ones whom inside a team-based workbase, can make a whole lot of difference. And for most parts, Jail's force has 4 leaders according to the necessary conditions. A team that in an ideal situation, covers the bases and weaknesses of each members in a flexible environment.
I believe the reason Jail and co. are not strong is to keep way for S4.

@Gale:
Just for secrecy. Indeed, those changes have become problematic, but I can shift them- my work is set in an AU timeline after all. I still can't believe the outcome...
On another note, here's a little piece on our tachikoma based friend, who I now call "Nemo".
As well as the bulk of Scaglietti's forces participating in the operation, there was another follow, too.
This one had decided to form a path through the forested area ahead of the target. And what this "follower" actually was was surprising.
It was no human, nor was it any kind of cyborg- it was a robot, An odd quadrupedal, two-armed machine, blue and white in color with a trio of spherical bulbous mechanisms jutting out of the left, right and front of its "head". Each of these had a series of pinholes in them, serving as eyes. The mech also bore a large, odd tank on its back, connected to it, and had a pair of small cannon-like hardpoints on either side of it. A cannon was also clearly visible on its underside, extending outwards slightly.
This character was Nemo, a robot with an advanced yet ultimately immature AI. When he had come into the services of the Doctor and his unit, people looked at him with doubt, speculation even. But he was more than willing to perform this job- he remembered telling a masked man that it would be "fun".
He strode in bounds through the forest, his four legs carrying him forward at a rapid pace. A window opened up in front of the mech, and Nemo focused "his" center eye on it. The masked figure was on the other side.
"Nemo. You're almost at the target, I gather?"
"Yes, sir!", he replied, his voice overly cheery. "I'm closing in on the headquarters as I speak!"
"I and Edgar are about to move in", the man continued. "The Numbers have already acted and the generator should be down by now. Getting in for you shouldn't be easier."
"I understand. It makes for double the enjoyment- nothing like an old one-two to unsettle those we must destroy!"
"Oh, and can you do one thing for our sakes?" A question was sent the robot's way.
"What is it?", he questioned.
"Please...please don't do anything...for lack of a more suitable word, asinine. Your incidents outside of battle are enough to handle...however, I have heard from the Doctor that you are a consummate professional in battle. I hope he's right."
"I understand, and don't worry- this won't take long at all!"
"He" picked up speed, motors whirring louder. As he cleared the forest, he rushed headlong at the walls of the building before him and leaped the force of his jump combined with his weight enabling him to smash through it with relative ease.
His eyes quickly spotted a few Bureau rookies who had been startled by his abrupt and forceful entrance. They lifted their devices, but the droid shot projectiles- a kind of fluid- outwards from the gun emplacements on its "tank". This stuck to the Devices, and, with one swift jerk from Nemo, they were tugged viciously out of their hands. Unable to defend themselves, the robot fired its underside cannon once, dealing with the group instantly.
"Sa", he mused, childishly, almost enthusiastically. "Hajimeru yo, ne?"
Thus enters our resident based-off-Tachikoma character, Nemo. This piece sort of demonstrates his infantile nature...referencing the AI of most Tachikoma, that, but still. And he doesn't mind killing, as shown...:uhoh: What more shall be written for the little guy, I wonder...*ponders*

Episode 26 - To the Promised Sky
With the decisive battles in the Cradle of the Saints and on the ground over, the "Relic Incident" and the "Jail Scaglietti Incident" that originated from it are brought to an end. Scaglietti and the Numbers are arrested, and Lutecia and Agito are given shelter. In the newly peaceful world, everyone thinks of their own opinions on the incidents. And then, Sixth Division finish their duties and employment period safely...
Can I say...predictable, much? :rolleyes:
I mean... it's so...
And as expected, RF6 ends their period upon ending these "incidents" and hopefully if S4 ever happens, there would be no more RF6 "nepotism every important cast from different divisions in one team" bullshit, but rather "every division and thus every important cast work together against a single threat" thing. This whole..."one elite task force" thing, however epic it may look, honestly is pretty run-of-the-mill lame. It's hard to take it seriously especially when Arf and Yuuno are technically better than the Forwards.

So they went the safe way, huh? While expected, since both previous seasons ended the same way, I'm still disappointed. :(
If there is a season 4, they better not jump into the future again. Everything is set, all background stories are covered, they can jump right into the action just like they did in A's.
EDIT: And if that translation is literal, me calling my characters "Living Relic Weapons" is not far off... :rolleyes:

Hey, what manga is this girl from? :D
Nice background... and lucky Jeno. :p
A new one, "Omamori Himari" :)
Thanks... And depends on what you think of as 'lucky' :heh:
@Chaos: Another interesting design, I say! And, to agree with Erio, lucky Jeno indeed. :D :heh:
:heh:
to Chaos: You do know that STAB R&D have an Actual Norse Goddess (Urd) working for them on the weekends, for kicks and giggles?
Might make for interesting experiences if one of the Destroyers ends up flirting with her on the assumption that she's just another 'Named after' Sinclairion, only to find out just how horribly out of his league he really is when he puts a foot wrong (though it being Urd, you can't help but wonder if it might be worth it anyway...)
Destroyers and their Sinclairion "Overlords :heh:" don't mix well most of the time :heh: It's like how people feel uncomfortable around their bosses ;)
As for whether Urd is 'worth it...'
(Hard to find an image of her :heh:)
btw, I wasn't refering to the Urd from AMG :p

Well, I couldn't agree more about S4, if made, starting off with action, despite the fact that Eps 23-26 look laden with it present.
And I'm all for a "Mahou Shoujou Lyrical Sentoukijin NumberS" spinoff if possible...:heh:
EDIT: Anyway, to keep on track, I am considering making a sextet of new characters in the Dark V scenario to possible replace the Letters. I could go with the option of decreasing their numbers, but decisions have yet to be formed.
A new one, "Omamori Himari" :)
Thanks... And depends on what you think of as 'lucky' :heh:
OK... Reading that first chapter was tiring. :eyespin: Couldnt they NOT translate her lines literally?! :heh: Gotta admit, though, she is :love:
Do you have any site to download chapters 3+, BTW?
Definitely not what I expected...:twitch:
Oh, look. That's Fate weilding Zamber- uhoh. Better run, Kha!:twitch:
*Imagines the scene with a teary-eyed upset Fate*
Really quite cute!:D *ducks from a stray Plasma Lancer*
But definitely dangerous.:heh:
Fate: KHA NO BAKA!!! *cries* Baka.... baka... Kha no baka! *sobs*
Oh dear, now you've really done it.:uhoh:I flipped a coin, and went the extremely random omake route... Simply because nothing was coming to me. :p
And yeah, I was also wondering why Kha wasn't going 'Avenging Zorn' on Aurion, given that he is very protective of the Aces. And probably more so for Hayate compared to Nanoha and Keroko due to her being a member of his harem...:heh::joke: But still, my point stands.Gosh I can't seem to remember your point... For me, Kha was caught between a rock and a hard place; first thing, is that Kha respects Aurion a lot; second, this is a reference to "Paranoia of Chrono Hallaoun", he heard Chrono's side of the story, and so he'd put the two together and believe that there's a misunderstanding somewhere... :heh:
Unfortunately, Kha doesn't know that it really happened. Unless...
Kha: Sempai! It didn't happen like that deshou? :heh: There's got to be a misunderstanding somewhere deshou? :heh:
Aurion: Well err... (dodges Laevantine) How should I say this...? (ducks under Scwhabe Fliegen)
Kha: :twitch: :eyebrow:
:uhoh:

This whole..."one elite task force" thing, however epic it may look, honestly is pretty run-of-the-mill lame. It's hard to take it seriously especially when Arf and Yuuno are technically better than the Forwards.On one hand, things look to be less silly, but on the other hand, this screws AltS 2's premise completely, or the Alhazred exploration arcs...
Heck, I'm even beginning to mentally reorganize the 4 Pillars into one combined Saint Guard because by the time Raxephon appears who knows how much help is really needed by then. :rolleyes: At least the Church doesn't look so imba now... :heh:
Stahlpreios looks like a lost cause, since the core members have been arrested, which is the scenario I hadn't enough planned for. At least Alaeith is still out there. Maybe I should use real humans and have Schach pilot R-1 Altered as suggested by Nighty. :uhoh:
And Nighty's Sakura = Seiou crack might fall apart completely... Is it wrong that I like that more than Signum = Caro? :uhoh:

I see... Very well. RevivalS will just have to settle with the Au card as an OVA. Too bad.:heh: Any thoughts, Nighty? Does this affect your plans for the Saga Chronicles much? By myself, I can find alternate ways to bring out Tyrfing and Astranagant in a different manner from RevivalS when I iintegrate it with possible future timelines. What about yours?
When they do the S4(if ever) they better fix the balancing.:D Plus, I hope that they do NOT do any timeskip exceeding two years.:heh: Just jump into the action like A's.

Narrowmindedness and prejudice. And maybe the grunts that the Knights took out were mainly from the GC, thus the hate :p. Who knows?
Then we've got some VERY hateful people here - shouldn't TSAB have psych help on hand to deal w/this kind of stuff.
I forgot the timing of meeting, and I was dead tired by then. The OVA chapter took a lot out of me, running the whole thing on fastforward then picking out the main points... :heh:
It's fine. Just be sure to include it in the final edition!
"Kitto...Daijobu." What confident words at something they know NOTHING about. If it was a whole platoon of TSAB's most elites of elites, then maybe there was some ground to be confident, but with only 5 legitly powerful hardhitters... No offense, I'm trying to pretend they never said those words. :heh:
Arrogance disguised as confidence has been the downfall of so many... WHY DOESN'T ANYONE LEARN FROM HISTORY?!

Background
Spica was the result of a scientific experiment that attempted to copy the 'Knight' programs from the Book of Darkness. She was one of the last proto-types to be created before the TSAB raided the secret labs and put a stop to any further creations.
She was enlisted into the service of a warlord that was plotting the downfall of an imperial dynasty. It was there where she first met Jeno, who was hired for a similar purpose.
Spica was treated more as a fighting tool than a living being, every mission she was sent on just required her to fight to the death. Over time, she herself had believed that she is nothing more than a weapon for the humans to use, and that she will never be seen as an equal by them.
Jeno was the first human who had challenged that belief of hers. When confronted with the question as to why he was doing all that for her, he admitted that he himself didn't know the answer, but he did say that it didn't feel like the wrong thing to do. Though the REAL reason was painfully obvious.
In one fatefully mission, due a failed assault, she was cornered by TSAB enforcer Haralown. Just when the final blow was about to be deal, Jeno arrived in the nick of time to save her. It was the first time he had done anything for another person on his own will, a gesture Spica never thought she had deserve.
Soon after that incident, she became the first person to have received a genuine smile from Jeno. In return, he was the person she gave her first smile to.
After switching sides to aid Clyde and the TSAB, Jeno confronted his former employer in order to defeat him and free her from his will. With that, her first act of freedom was to stand by Jeno as his human life came to an end.
After joining the ranks as one of the Destroyers, Jeno made a offhanded remaked that he would have to deal with for the rest of his immortal life. He said that since neither of them would age now, entering a romantic relationship shouldn't have much complication know as it did before.
Unfortunately, Spica took it very seriously, hence crushing Jeno's dreams of aquiring his own harem.

Initially, he had attempted to carry on with his intentions behind her back, but after eavesdropping on her sorrowful confession with Freya about how she would accept and support his decisions (Among other dramatic romance stuff), he became guilt-ridden for the first time in his life.
These days Spica just stays at his castle retreat in Seraphim along with Cero's 13 loli-meido catgirls. They usually tend to the household errands till the Destroyers returns. Till this day, Jeno had never openly admit to their relationship, yet he has never said otherwise either. Jeno still does his best to carry out his dream, but the image of her first smile just seem to burn brighter in his memories as the time passes.
<whistles> Oh. My. God.
HOT WAIFU!!!
Would you like to make sexy time with me?
I just got a vision of Kha giving a speech to the Belka SAR and TSAB in general about the SAR's intention to exercise their "Right to Agressively Assert the right to self-defence" in the light of TSAB's utter failure to protect the Belka territories... Goes well with the launch of Saint Guard... :uhoh:
Not only that, but such poor management begins to make Sevasti wonder if the people @ the top are really worth following... which leads into LegendS... which leads into AlternateS II...

:heh:
"It's just a flesh wound!"
"I'll bite your legs off!"
Hell, Erio could even try convincing Zest the "Jack Bauer" style :D
"Damnit we're running out of time! If we don't go now, MILLIONS of people are going to die you hear me?! And it'll be on your head! You're just going to have to trust me!"
"Lucino! I need that satelite coverage up now!"
"Alto, where that chopper!?"
"Griffith, are the TAC teams in position?!"
"Shari, upload the Schematics of the building to my PDA!"
"WHERE IS THE GIRL!?!? ANSWER ME :frustrated: !!!"
When bad things happen to good people, it's probably Fate Sophia Aurion Kha Vita Teana fate. When bad things happen to bad people, it's probably Erio Mondial.
Erio Mondial never retreats; he just attacks in the opposite direction.
Erio Mondial doesn't laugh in the face of danger; Erio Mondial IS the face of danger.
And my personal favorite...
If Erio Mondial had been a Spartan, the movie would have been called "1."
<Thinking to self> I know I'm going to Hell for this... BUT I CAN'T HELP IT!!!
to Chaos: You do know that STAB R&D have an Actual Norse Goddess (Urd) working for them on the weekends, for kicks and giggles?
Might make for interesting experiences if one of the Destroyers ends up flirting with her on the assumption that she's just another 'Named after' Sinclairion, only to find out just how horribly out of his league he really is when he puts a foot wrong (though it being Urd, you can't help but wonder if it might be worth it anyway...)
As for the RF6 vs GCHQ attack...
I think the real problem here is that they've upped the ante way too much, and it's showing.
In Nanoha, Fate was better than Nanoha, but not by an unbelievable amount. Precia was much more powerful, but outnumbered.
In A's, The Wolkenritter were powerful, but never to the point where it seemed they couldn't be beaten. There was always that give and take that allowed any fight to be a matter of skill and luck. (the Book of Darkness was something else entirely of course, but we already knew from earlier in the series that it could be beaten...just that doing so had undesirable side effects.)
But in StrikerS, the enemy is both Qualitatively and Quantitatively superior (If Vita +Rein Zwei can't handle it, I doubt anything else the Bureau has can, ergo, IT Can't BE handled)
There are a dozen cyborgs, each of whom can fight the forwards, or even the Aces, to a standstill. There are Zest and Lutecia, who make the Wolkenritter and Aces seem like amateurs. There are untold thousands of drones. (And god knows what else)
Gradually increasingly powerful enemies are a staple of this kind of ongoing series, but they've jumped too far. Now, the only thing that can possibly beat Jail and co would seem to be some kind of massive Deus Ex Machina, which is just very unsatisfying. Unlike in the last two series, where with a little Courage, Effort, Teamwork, Skill and luck, the enemies could be beaten because they were roughly equal, in StrikerS the enemies are both too numerous and too powerful to see how they can be beaten in a straight fight.
<nods head> I'm returning to the S1 and A's pattern with LegendS, where there are actually slightly fewer numbers of chief baddies than good guys, but the other good guys will be busy killing cannon fodder.
NEW MATERIAL!!!!
None for now!
WII~ DESU~!
I see... Very well. RevivalS will just have to settle with the Au card as an OVA. Too bad.:heh: Any thoughts, Nighty? Does this affect your plans for the Saga Chronicles much? By myself, I can find alternate ways to bring out Tyrfing and Astranagant in a different manner from RevivalS when I iintegrate it with possible future timelines. What about yours?
When they do the S4(if ever) they better fix the balancing.:D Plus, I hope that they do NOT do any timeskip exceeding two years.:heh: Just jump into the action like A's.
Why is RevivalS AU now? Werent you expecting this ending?
As for my story, I dont really need the Numbers for it, as I can create more without problems, but it would have been fun to use them. If they remain imprisoned after the epilogue, then I can get them out of prison for a while, and get them captured again later, before canon uses them again. :p

I:uhoh:
On one hand, things look to be less silly, but on the other hand, this screws AltS 2's premise completely, or the Alhazred exploration arcs...
Heck, I'm even beginning to mentally reorganize the 4 Pillars into one combined Saint Guard because by the time Raxephon appears who knows how much help is really needed by then. :rolleyes: At least the Church doesn't look so imba now... :heh:
Stahlpreios looks like a lost cause, since the core members have been arrested, which is the scenario I hadn't enough planned for. At least Alaeith is still out there. Maybe I should use real humans and have Schach pilot R-1 Altered as suggested by Nighty. :uhoh:
And Nighty's Sakura = Seiou crack might fall apart completely... Is it wrong that I like that more than Signum = Caro? :uhoh:
Well, arrest itself isn't a problem...
If it was up to me to write S4 according to how canon would most likely end StrikerS, I would already have 4 episodes right out of the bag. :p
2 multi-perspective at different locations Battle Royal episodes, 1 revelation episode, and 1 Prison Break/Numbers-ownage episode. :D
Forget SignumCaro forget SignumCaro forget SignumCaro...
Well, I have my cards ready for Ion Canon. I doubt there'll be anything that wtfs my side of the OCs to oblivion. At least serious ones. ;)
Arrested?:rolleyes: Nanoha much? That's certainly anticlimactic.:heh:
Well, there's good in that too, especially if they want to tie in S4.
After all, if Alhazred may be linked, there's always SOMEONE to ask, since I doubt Yuuno knows too much.
I see... Very well. RevivalS will just have to settle with the Au card as an OVA. Too bad.:heh: Any thoughts, Nighty? Does this affect your plans for the Saga Chronicles much?

Well, I have no problem specifically. RevivalS can stay AU if it contradicts your ideas for it, but the core aspect of Saga der Saga won't change. Besides, it's not 100% confirmed yet and I have cards to play even if Ion Canon decides to shoot. Ion Canon won't be able to kill off Saga THAT easily. After all, I've already considered 7 Arcs to be half-ripping me off with Zest who's like an amalgam of Zerstroritter. :3
Ever noted why I left Saga's intentions ~vague? It's to avoid Ion Canon while keeping safe the AU card. Win-win situation. :)

Though I'd be blown is Subaru ends up stuck in Alhazred to kick off S4... (>.> @ Saint X)

I think. :heh:

Btw, the actual spoilers aers posted, just in case anyone wants to be prepped beforehand for Ion Canon.
Can I say...predictable, much? :rolleyes:
I mean... it's so... What do you want? Everyone to die in an angst filled mess to make EOE look like a Christmas Special? It’s a god damn Magic Girl show justice is going to triumph and love will conquer all this is like whining about how there’s no way the underdog rebels should beat the evil empire in a Space Opera. If you expected anything else you’re an idiot
and you’re watching the wrong damn show. As well as being totally out of tune with the true intended audience IMO.
And as expected, RF6 ends their period upon ending these "incidents" and hopefully if S4 ever happens, there would be no more RF6 "nepotism every important cast from different divisions in one team" bullshit, but rather "every division and thus every important cast work together against a single threat" thing. This whole..."one elite task force" thing, however epic it may look, honestly is pretty run-of-the-mill lame. It's hard to take it seriously especially when Arf and Yuuno are technically better than the Forwards. Now you’re whining that all the characters, many of which have known each other for more then half their lives and worked together nearly as long, are on the same team/squad? Give me a damn break. That’s the ONLY realistic scenario IMO IE them making all efforts to stay together. You seem to be pissed that they’d dare prefer to work with friends and trusted allies over total strangers, I know the sheer gal truly a sickening display.
This has nothing to do with Nepotism it has everything to do with preferring to draw from qualified people you know you can trust. If you had to form a group to perform some task, whatever it might be, where would you start looking for people? I doubt you’d open up a phonebook and start dialing random guys. You’d start by looking among close friends and associates and widened from there, but if you can find 90% of what you need in that inner circle, so be it. It isn’t even about building the most uber asskicking team possible half the time, MANY (the vast majority) of people would prefer to work with someone they know, like, and trust over someone that might be technically slightly more competent but is an asshole, they have no experience working with, and or haven’t even meet until the project began.
This happens everywhere including the real military constantly, whether it’s right or wrong (and it ISN’T inherently wrong, more so if the person CAN do the work, looking out for people you like and value would be considered a virtue by many.) it occurs at all levels in all society and is an undeniable fact. The fact it also happens to be a useful device to gather the cast is just another bonus.
I’ve also heard complaints about how convoluted some aspects of the military aspects already are, but now you seem to want to spread the cast out to multiple separate agencies and units. Which seems to me to be just ASKING for it get even more confusing and make less sense. Plus if they ARE spread out getting them together will probably involve unlikely contrivances and then we’d have guys whining about those. “ZOMG his unit doesn’t need to be there for that, stuupod writers!!11oneoneone”
IMO you’re just being a nitpicky snob at this point, and to try and bash a story based on of all things something as dumb as Nepotism is laughable.

I flipped a coin, and went the extremely random omake route... Simply because nothing was coming to me. :p
I see. But, no apology to Fate?:uhoh:
Gosh I can't seem to remember your point... For me, Kha was caught between a rock and a hard place; first thing, is that Kha respects Aurion a lot; second, this is a reference to "Paranoia of Chrono Hallaoun", he heard Chrono's side of the story, and so he'd put the two together and believe that there's a misunderstanding somewhere... :heh:
Unfortunately, Kha doesn't know that it really happened. Unless...
Kha: Sempai! It didn't happen like that deshou? :heh: There's got to be a misunderstanding somewhere deshou? :heh:
Aurion: Well err... (dodges Laevantine) How should I say this...? (ducks under Scwhabe Fliegen)
Kha: :twitch: :eyebrow:
:uhoh:
Too busy dodging.:heh: But I expect Hayate to explain later... Not that it'll help.:heh: Anyway, i;m not using that scenario anyway...:heh:
Why is RevivalS AU now? Werent you expecting this ending?
As for my story, I dont really need the Numbers for it, as I can create more without problems, but it would have been fun to use them. If they remain imprisoned after the epilogue, then I can get them out of prison for a while, and get them captured again later, before canon uses them again. :p
RF6 is terminated at the end of SrtikerS. BUT, RF6 is the standard command that I'll be using. And even if not, I doubt we'll be getting a substantial timeskip to fit ni RevivalS. PLUS! Reinforce 1 gets REVIVED PERMANENTLY. Which is a no-no when there is an S4. But for now, I'm still holding my modification cards in case I get lucky wit ion Canon.
Well, I have no problem specifically. RevivalS can stay AU if it contradicts your ideas for it, but the core aspect of Saga der Saga won't change. Besides, it's not 100% confirmed yet and I have cards to play even if Ion Canon decides to shoot. Ion Canon won't be able to kill off Saga THAT easily. After all, I've already considered 7 Arcs to be half-ripping me off with Zest who's like an amalgam of Zerstroritter. :3
Ever noted why I left Saga's intentions ~vague? It's to avoid Ion Canon while keeping safe the AU card. Win-win situation. :)
I see.:heh: My plan is relatively safe. but I wish I could plan out things as well as you...:heh:
Anyway, question to the RevivalS stockholders:
We end it with Reinforce's revival in the end, deshou? Only this time, she's no longer HAXX like her Kluize-revived version. And of course, stopping Saga from trying to kill himself for 'Their Happiness'.:heh:

*snip*
Did I ever say I want a bad ending? I did say that I LIKE good endings. :heh:
I found it mildly surprising that the Doctor/Numbers were arrested. I expected some to make it out alive, but honestly, I'd thought the Doctor die for sure.
And you know, the nepotism thing and all was a joke. You should be able to tell when I used the term 'all important cast in one slot'. :heh:
As for the other aspects, let's just say I like a show that makes FULL use of it's premises. You know, Air Force, Navy, Ground, the all-rounded aspects of TSAB, the Interdimensional Worlds, stuff like that. Just because it's magical girl doesn't mean it can't make use of that kind of diversity. I know StrikerS is not a good show to show that, but I merely said that I would like to see a new season that tackles that aspect, especially after StrikerS already did the whole 'platoon' thing. Fresh dimensions, get it?
Yes, it may sound like I'm nitpicky and all that, but I'm honest when I say I enjoy StrikerS. But because I like it, I make minor complaints here and there, and cite what I think would be good if a new season arises. The things I don't complain about are what I like about it. But other than that, I sound a little nitpickish, but that's the way I am.
Put it this way. I would like to see a new season where the threat is SO BIG that ALL OF TSAB needs to work together to overcome it, and none of that Ground-Navy differential politics. Especially after the top dirty roots of TSAB seems to be almost rooted out.
The fact that I look forward to a possible S4 very much even though StrikerS is only relatively good means that for all my complaints and all that, I enjoy it. I just think it can be better, and I cite my opinions of it. People who were around when GSD aired know that I made a lot of complaints about it and nitpick, but they also know that I ENJOYED and LIKED GSD A LOT. Same example.
I'm not the type of guy to sing praises, but when you see me deeply involved in the discussions even when they sound a little negative, it means I like it. If I hate StrikerS, I wouldn't even bother to talk about it.
Like School Days. Urgh.

@Aaron: That he is indeed.
Childish, seeing his job as a game, and lethally efficient.
You'd have a hard time facing him down. :heh:
But as conforming to the general Tachikoma standard, he is protective...a trait to be evidenced in a coming scene. Suspense, yay. :heh:
Looks like we have quite a few scenario ideas spinning around after the revelation of spoilers. Interesting concepts by many. :)
And, as for the aforementioned secret-now-no-longer-secret little ability that Edgar has...
He didn't mind his "master" going on ahead with his own plans.
Far from it. Whilst V was busy aiding the Numbers strike force, he had been granted a prestigious role. That task was to do none other than intrude upon those locked in the seminar hall.
He faced resistance, yes, but that was inevitable. "Only fledglings", he thought inwardly. Since the others were keeping the stronger members of their enemies occupied, Edgar had taken the chance to creep into the heart of the facility. He knew V would arrive sooner or later- all he had to do was take control of the area.
He walked along the hall, his footfalls light and his device coated with fresh blood, dripping with a soft, rhythmic pat-pat-pat onto the floor. Its blade was still aglow with an unknown energy. His suit was, in contrast, impeccable, with not a stain on it. He vaguely recalled how V would often remark about his ability to come out of any fight "clean", so to speak.
New footsteps, more erratic in pace, resounded through the deserted corridor. Two more Bureau guards rounded a corner, and caught sight of the elderly man, who merely sighed.
"T-that's..."
"One of the intruders!"
The person who spoke last charged forward, but ceased his movement abruptly when the old figure's blade impaled itself directly through his chest. Gasping weakly in astonishment, he fell limply to the floor on his knees then bent forward, collapsing lifelessly.
The first guard shuddered in fear, then, strengthened by a new resolve, he swiped at the character. Edgar stepped back, avoiding the strike, and responded in kind by swinging Eclat downwards. The man brought his weapon up to guard but the cane sword cleaved through it like a hot knife through butter, and he felt cold steel being drawn across his body as the old man spun round and sliced horizontally. He, too, fell wordlessly. Edgar paced on, as if nothing had happened.
Inside the hall, tensions were rising.
Regius himself was particularly agitated. His orders to "eliminate the intruders on sight" had not been carried out, and little did he know that his forces were facing a superior foe.
Hayate was equally worried, if not more so, exchanging fevered glances of nervousness with Carim and Signum. Her blood froze when she, and others, heard screams echoing down the hallway- the enemy was close, too close for any sort of comfort.
The commander watched tensely as what other mages were in the room looked around about-place in shock at the echoing cries, some of them readying their devices instinctively. She was then questioned by Signum, who stood at her side.
"What should we do, Meister? If the enemy breaks in here..." She clenched her fist, and looked downwards. "We can ultimately only hold out for so long."
It took a while before Hayate put forward an answer. "We wait, Signum." Her reply was wracked with anxiety. She gripped Schwertkreuz, preparing herself. "We wait."
The man had finally reached his destination.
Said point of arrival was one of the sealed doors to the main hall.
"An easy enough trip", he mused, then said, somewhat condescendingly, "Really, their defenses could have been up to better standards." He stopped, and sighed. "Not that it matters of course. Now..."
Eclat ejected another cartridge to keep its luminosity. It was revealed that the blade itself had transformed into one forged of light instead of steel.
"My task must be done."
With this, he rammed his blade into the door.
On the other side, the whole congregation turned in shock and alarm as a sparking noise filled the room. Hayate's eyes were fixated in disbelieving apprehension on a door ahead of her. She watched as others scurried over to it, some mages joining as a group and aiming their devices at it, waiting for the foe to come, whilst two others stood on either side of it.
The blade had cut further through now. Penetrating through solid steel, the man was cutting through in a rectangular shape, his blade running up one side of the door, along the top, then back down. Having accomplished this, he knocked it over with a swift kick, and stepped in almost casually.
The two mages flanking the door stepped out to confront him, but both were met with equal misfortune at one was forced into an armlock and twisted round, the elder's blade jutting through his torso dealing with him swiftly. He parried an attack by the other and performed an upwards slash, the blade raking across the guard's front, felling him in a split second.
Edgar glanced as something red flashed in his eyes- he saw droplets of blood on the sleeves of his suit. "You can't come out of every fight clean", he thought.
He took a pace forward. Hayate, Signum and Carim were on their guard as the intruder approached, and Regius was stricken by fright and disbelief. The man tipped his hat in a welcoming gesture, and stated to the congregation in a somewhat care-free manner:
"Good evening, all."
Yes, he can cut through doors. :heh: Lightsaber-style, yes. A unique way of breaking and entering, wouldn't you say so?
And he obviously shows he's no slouch at combat, even for his age. :uhoh:
Expect a Nemo piece next up. And also part II of that V vs. Cinque skirmish...kinda forgotten about that. :heh:

The Numbers are the new Organization XIII! Run for your lives! They seek our hearts...or...Linker Cores...or...stuff!
:heh:
O shit i didn't think of that, but the numbers have a leader, wouldn't that make it Organization 14? XD
Did I ever say I want a bad ending? I did say that I LIKE good endings. :heh: Well I don't know how else you expected it to end that would be better then they're clearly going to win, any serious deaths are highly unlikely, the enemy will be taken down. It's really just a matter of some minor specifics as to how this happens.
You reply seemed to be like "God so predictable, what a crappy ending." Or something to that effect, the first part, well yeah, but I don't think anyone expected anything else since the damn start, as the for second bit I"m not saying anything until I see it.
I found it mildly surprising that the Doctor/Numbers were arrested. I expected some to make it out alive, but honestly, I'd thought the Doctor die for sure.Well that could be a hint for some future plan of there’s right there, say what you want, the Doc had some nice toys, toys some people that don't love the TSAB might be willing to help him out in exchange for...
And you know, the nepotism thing and all was a joke. You should be able to tell when I used the term 'all important cast in one slot'. :heh:
It didn’t seem like much of a joke honestly, I detected almost no sarcasm and a distinct lack of anything to indicate it as such, plus you seemed quite pleased that RF6 was being disbanded. I’ve also seen you mention it before several times so it seemed to be a running issue you had. Sorry if I overreacted a bit, but nit picking is kind of a peeve of mine as I’ve said I take it more seriously then I should at times.
Yes, it may sound like I'm nitpicky and all that, but I'm honest when I say I enjoy StrikerS. But because I like it, I make minor complaints here and there, and cite what I think would be good if a new season arises. The things I don't complain about are what I like about it. But other than that, I sound a little nitpickish, but that's the way I am.
Well I barely nitpick at all, guess that makes us natural duelists or something, still I can see you're way of doing things, but I reserve the right to be nitpicky about nitpicking from time to time. :p
As for the other aspects, let's just say I like a show that makes FULL use of it's premises. You know, Air Force, Navy, Ground, the all-rounded aspects of TSAB, the Interdimensional Worlds, stuff like that. Just because it's magical girl doesn't mean it can't make use of that kind of diversity.

Put it this way. I would like to see a new season where the threat is SO BIG that ALL OF TSAB needs to work together to overcome it, and none of that Ground-Navy differential politics. Especially after the top dirty roots of TSAB seems to be almost rooted out.
TK: Slight jumbled by me since these are closely related IMO. It could work, but at the same time you run the risk of turning it into a war story and losing the characters against a backdrop of SFX laden battles (Star wars 1-3 suffered from this it had awesome battles, but rather weak characters). It could perhaps be done, but it would need to be very carefully managed so as not to undermine nearly the entire feel of the show. It also seems quite large scale so you’d probably need another 26 ep season to properly cover something that size, more so if you intend to split up the cast.
I’m not sure I’ve ever really seen a magic girl show make this kind of mutation before… True Nanoha isn’t you’re average magic girl show, but going this direction it becomes highly debatable if it’s a magic girl show at all at this point and not just a military drama were the protagonist happen to use magic spells instead of mecha or power armor or something. While that could indeed be an interesting premise and one I have some fondness for (that is magic as well understood science/weapon utilized as part of a larger military force like any other special weapon) I’m rather skeptical if the writers will take it that way.
One thing is for sure though, I don’t think the series is anything like over, it still has plenty of directions to go and an increasingly fleshed out universe with allot of potential. At the very least further Manga and Novels seem assured, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see an OVA or another short series within a few years either. I’m getting serious “franchise” vibes from Nanoha at this point.
The fact that I look forward to a possible S4 very much even though StrikerS is only relatively good means that for all my complaints and all that, I enjoy it. I just think it can be better, and I cite my opinions of it. People who were around when GSD aired know that I made a lot of complaints about it and nitpick, but they also know that I ENJOYED and LIKED GSD A LOT. Same example.
I'm not the type of guy to sing praises, but when you see me deeply involved in the discussions even when they sound a little negative, it means I like it. If I hate StrikerS, I wouldn't even bother to talk about it.
Like School Days. Urgh. Noted, I'm acutally sort of the same I just don't talk about things I don't like, but I'm rather more forgiving of those things I do, unless they do something REALLY grievously dumb.
What's with everyone being doubtful about their characters' future?
Dont you know?
If you give up, its all over!
This drill is a drill that will pierce the heavens!
Piercing destiny as yesterday's enemies,
creating a new path towards the future with these hands!

:uhoh:In a multiverse far far away, the Naaru carried on their Crusade for order...
On one branch of time-space, they came across a timeline having a massive rupture, meaning that the timeline was decaying to oblivion. This timeline centered around the sexploits of one underaged teacher going against labor laws to teach a harem class English. But apparently, due to some disagreement between it's Producers and Ken Akatmatsu the patron Gods, they gave the universe a premature ending and abandoned the universe.
But to the Naaru S'veon, who watched the boy grow, felt that much Light can be projected from this world, and the Naaru worked to save it.
The Library Island dimension was the worst hit from the disaster, where all lines between fact and fiction had collapsed, resulting in characters from within books to break free from their realms and enter the Materium. It was a mess, but also an oppotunity.
On 22nd Sept, 2005, after the Libram of Devotion was dropped into the messed up worlds, Kouya the Alpha of the Library Island Wolves, was born from the Libram and into the Materium.
Kouya's adventures would entail hi-jinxes and love triangles, but most of all, it resulted in a unconcious harem battle between Kouya and Negi.
Nodoka, being an avid reader of the Bloodfang novel series, was chosen to be the Mistress of the Wolves. Kouya soon worked out how to "put the spin on and screw it into" Gattai with Nodoka into SHO-NEN TEPPA NODO-KOUYA!!!
Book Boy Breakthrough Nodo-Kouya:eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin: :eyespin:
No-no-Nodoka-sama?! :eek: Who dares defile?!?!!? :eek:
I should be the one to Gattai!!! GIGA DRILL, SPIN ON!!!! :cool:
*sniped*
Hell, Erio could even try convincing Zest the "Jack Bauer" style :D
"Damnit we're running out of time! If we don't go now, MILLIONS of people are going to die you hear me?! And it'll be on your head! You're just going to have to trust me!"
"Lucino! I need that satelite coverage up now!"
"Alto, where that chopper!?"
"Griffith, are the TAC teams in position?!"
"Shari, upload the Schematics of the building to my PDA!"
Erio Bauer? DO WANT :D
Only a duo of figures engulfed in darkness stood in mid-air, watching the chaos that was the destruction of the Riot Force Six headquarters unfold meticulously before their eyes.
The first, clad in his trademark gray and black outfit, mask included, was V. A blood red IS circle was spinning below him under his feet, holding him aloft. He viewed the scene with his arms folded, watching with a concealed grin.
The second was a much older man, dressed in a suit and fedora. This was V's butler, Edgar Ede, a Mid-Childan mage who had defected to Scaglietti's corps for reasons unclear. V had a good sense of respect for the man- after all, he was the one who raised him in a way after experiments on his person had finally come to a close, and, despite his skill, he looked up to the aging character as a senior. He watched on with silent concern.
The butler's head turned to his masked companion when the latter let out an almost blissful chuckle.
"Do you enjoy destruction, sir?", Edgar inquired simply.
Ending his bray of laughter, V turned to the older man. "If you mean the destruction of enemies, old friend, then yes! Enemies are such, and they must be dealt with..." He lifted his hands upwards and tightened his fist in a gesture of emphasis, fiercely, as if crushing some invisible object. "Quickly and with efficiency. " He paused, with only the faint sound of flames and distant explosions filling the silence, then reminded his senior: "You remember what was told, do you not?"
Edgar pondered silently, his head lowered. V's words brought what the Doctor ("Insane as he is", his inner self said) had ordered ("Orders must be followed, nonetheless- it is imperative." His thoughts again) back to the front of his mind, though it had been only through V's coercion that the original orders were shifted.
"Take care of any and all targets of note, as well as securing our objectives...this operation will be carried out without leniency or mercy."
The old man recalled some of the Numbers, the seniors among them, being somewhat shocked by this order, but he could not help agreeing that V was right- if the enemy was allowed the slightest chance to recuperate, new trouble would bloom.
"Nipping the seeds in the bud, so to speak."
Ede spoke his thoughts aloud, to which he was met with applause from his ally. "Indeed, Edgar!", V cried. "A perfect plan of action, wouldn't you say?"
Edgar nodded in compliance. "That it is, sir. But do you think some of the more fledgling of those cyborgs are willing to cause human collateral?"
V smiled knowingly underneath his covering. "My friend," he said, assuringly and sharply, "if they were hesitant why would they be undertaking this operation, hm?"
The old man made no movement, but his eyes glinted with a sense of clarity. "Quite right sir", he stated, promptly.
V turned back and let out a sigh, then clapped his hands. "Well, we have errands to perform, too- we can't just stand back and let our companions do all the work now, can we?"
In response, Edgar unconcealed his device- a cane sword, rather long in length, with the handle on the holding end oddly shaped to look like a dog's head. It ejected a single cartridge, and the blade glowed a deep blue, humming with energy.
"That we cannot..." The butler shook his head."So it is best that we make haste most quickly, sir."
"That it is, my friend", V replied, surging forward towards the flaming facility with Edgar following closely behind him. "That it is."
And so the pair, senior and mastermind, dived down into the ensuing havoc below.
Edgar is a "speak when spoken to" type person, so that explains his lack of main commentary, but do tell me what you all think.
@Chaos again: Erio Bauer= :heh:
Beginning to like Ed more already, now THAT is a combat butler, at least in attitude :)

Ten out of ten.
S&W: CHAIRMAN!!!!! :upset:
On another note, here's a little piece on our tachikoma based friend, who I now call "Nemo".
As well as the bulk of Scaglietti's forces participating in the operation, there was another follow, too.
This one had decided to form a path through the forested area ahead of the target. And what this "follower" actually was was surprising.
It was no human, nor was it any kind of cyborg- it was a robot, An odd quadrupedal, two-armed machine, blue and white in color with a trio of spherical bulbous mechanisms jutting out of the left, right and front of its "head". Each of these had a series of pinholes in them, serving as eyes. The mech also bore a large, odd tank on its back, connected to it, and had a pair of small cannon-like hardpoints on either side of it. A cannon was also clearly visible on its underside, extending outwards slightly.
This character was Nemo, a robot with an advanced yet ultimately immature AI. When he had come into the services of the Doctor and his unit, people looked at him with doubt, speculation even. But he was more than willing to perform this job- he remembered telling a masked man that it would be "fun".
He strode in bounds through the forest, his four legs carrying him forward at a rapid pace. A window opened up in front of the mech, and Nemo focused "his" center eye on it. The masked figure was on the other side.
"Nemo. You're almost at the target, I gather?"
"Yes, sir!", he replied, his voice overly cheery. "I'm closing in on the headquarters as I speak!"
"I and Edgar are about to move in", the man continued. "The Numbers have already acted and the generator should be down by now. Getting in for you shouldn't be easier."
"I understand. It makes for double the enjoyment- nothing like an old one-two to unsettle those we must destroy!"
"Oh, and can you do one thing for our sakes?" A question was sent the robot's way.
"What is it?", he questioned.
"Please...please don't do anything...for lack of a more suitable word, asinine. Your incidents outside of battle are enough to handle...however, I have heard from the Doctor that you are a consummate professional in battle. I hope he's right."
"I understand, and don't worry- this won't take long at all!"
"He" picked up speed, motors whirring louder. As he cleared the forest, he rushed headlong at the walls of the building before him and leaped the force of his jump combined with his weight enabling him to smash through it with relative ease.
His eyes quickly spotted a few Bureau rookies who had been startled by his abrupt and forceful entrance. They lifted their devices, but the droid shot projectiles- a kind of fluid- outwards from the gun emplacements on its "tank". This stuck to the Devices, and, with one swift jerk from Nemo, they were tugged viciously out of their hands. Unable to defend themselves, the robot fired its underside cannon once, dealing with the group instantly.
"Sa", he mused, childishly, almost enthusiastically. "Hajimeru yo, ne?"
Thus enters our resident based-off-Tachikoma character, Nemo. This piece sort of demonstrates his infantile nature...referencing the AI of most Tachikoma, that, but still. And he doesn't mind killing, as shown...:uhoh: What more shall be written for the little guy, I wonder...*ponders*
Heh, they'll be mistaken to underestimate the combat abilities of TACHIKO-MAN!!! :D
What?:uhoh:
As for whether Urd is 'worth it...'
(Hard to find an image of her :heh:)
btw, I wasn't refering to the Urd from AMG :p

EDIT: Almost forgot, think Loli-er for my case :heh:
Who...who...who is this beautiful woman?!?!?! :eek::eek::eek:
And, as for the aforementioned secret-now-no-longer-secret little ability that Edgar has...
He didn't mind his "master" going on ahead with his own plans.
Far from it. Whilst V was busy aiding the Numbers strike force, he had been granted a prestigious role. That task was to do none other than intrude upon those locked in the seminar hall.
He faced resistance, yes, but that was inevitable. "Only fledglings", he thought inwardly. Since the others were keeping the stronger members of their enemies occupied, Edgar had taken the chance to creep into the heart of the facility. He knew V would arrive sooner or later- all he had to do was take control of the area.
He walked along the hall, his footfalls light and his device coated with fresh blood, dripping with a soft, rhythmic pat-pat-pat onto the floor. Its blade was still aglow with an unknown energy. His suit was, in contrast, impeccable, with not a stain on it. He vaguely recalled how V would often remark about his ability to come out of any fight "clean", so to speak.
New footsteps, more erratic in pace, resounded through the deserted corridor. Two more Bureau guards rounded a corner, and caught sight of the elderly man, who merely sighed.
"T-that's..."
"One of the intruders!"
The person who spoke last charged forward, but ceased his movement abruptly when the old figure's blade impaled itself directly through his chest. Gasping weakly in astonishment, he fell limply to the floor on his knees then bent forward, collapsing lifelessly.
The first guard shuddered in fear, then, strengthened by a new resolve, he swiped at the character. Edgar stepped back, avoiding the strike, and responded in kind by swinging Eclat downwards. The man brought his weapon up to guard but the cane sword cleaved through it like a hot knife through butter, and he felt cold steel being drawn across his body as the old man spun round and sliced horizontally. He, too, fell wordlessly. Edgar paced on, as if nothing had happened.
Inside the hall, tensions were rising.
Regius himself was particularly agitated. His orders to "eliminate the intruders on sight" had not been carried out, and little did he know that his forces were facing a superior foe.
Hayate was equally worried, if not more so, exchanging fevered glances of nervousness with Carim and Signum. Her blood froze when she, and others, heard screams echoing down the hallway- the enemy was close, too close for any sort of comfort.
The commander watched tensely as what other mages were in the room looked around about-place in shock at the echoing cries, some of them readying their devices instinctively. She was then questioned by Signum, who stood at her side.
"What should we do, Meister? If the enemy breaks in here..." She clenched her fist, and looked downwards. "We can ultimately only hold out for so long."
It took a while before Hayate put forward an answer. "We wait, Signum." Her reply was wracked with anxiety. She gripped Schwertkreuz, preparing herself. "We wait."
The man had finally reached his destination.
Said point of arrival was one of the sealed doors to the main hall.
"An easy enough trip", he mused, then said, somewhat condescendingly, "Really, their defenses could have been up to better standards." He stopped, and sighed. "Not that it matters of course. Now..."
Eclat ejected another cartridge to keep its luminosity. It was revealed that the blade itself had transformed into one forged of light instead of steel.
"My task must be done."
With this, he rammed his blade into the door.
On the other side, the whole congregation turned in shock and alarm as a sparking noise filled the room. Hayate's eyes were fixated in disbelieving apprehension on a door ahead of her. She watched as others scurried over to it, some mages joining as a group and aiming their devices at it, waiting for the foe to come, whilst two others stood on either side of it.
The blade had cut further through now. Penetrating through solid steel, the man was cutting through in a rectangular shape, his blade running up one side of the door, along the top, then back down. Having accomplished this, he knocked it over with a swift kick, and stepped in almost casually.
The two mages flanking the door stepped out to confront him, but both were met with equal misfortune at one was forced into an armlock and twisted round, the elder's blade jutting through his torso dealing with him swiftly. He parried an attack by the other and performed an upwards slash, the blade raking across the guard's front, felling him in a split second.
Edgar glanced as something red flashed in his eyes- he saw droplets of blood on the sleeves of his suit. "You can't come out of every fight clean", he thought.
He took a pace forward. Hayate, Signum and Carim were on their guard as the intruder approached, and Regius was stricken by fright and disbelief. The man tipped his hat in a welcoming gesture, and stated to the congregation in a somewhat care-free manner:
"Good evening, all."
Yes, he can cut through doors. :heh: Lightsaber-style, yes. A unique way of breaking and entering, wouldn't you say so?
And he obviously shows he's no slouch at combat, even for his age. :uhoh:
Expect a Nemo piece next up. And also part II of that V vs. Cinque skirmish...kinda forgotten about that. :heh:
*echoes* Now THAT’s a combat butler :eek: Dispensing of the guards with such style and awesome, and with that nonchalant intro… Ed wins :D

ANIKI!!!!! :bow::bow::bow:
I see. But, no apology to Fate?:uhoh:Wasn't there a very loud "SUMIMASE!" at the end of it? :uhoh:
Too busy dodging.:heh: But I expect Hayate to explain later... Not that it'll help.:heh: Anyway, i;m not using that scenario anyway...:heh:Ah souka... :D
RF6 is terminated at the end of SrtikerS. BUT, RF6 is the standard command that I'll be using. And even if not, I doubt we'll be getting a substantial timeskip to fit ni RevivalS. PLUS! Reinforce 1 gets REVIVED PERMANENTLY. Which is a no-no when there is an S4. But for now, I'm still holding my modification cards in case I get lucky wit ion Canon.You'll have your day. And if Vivio really dies as implied, it's even more certain who the Star Child really is... :uhoh:
Anyway, question to the RevivalS stockholders:
We end it with Reinforce's revival in the end, deshou? Only this time, she's no longer HAXX like her Kluize-revived version. And of course, stopping Saga from trying to kill himself for 'Their Happiness'.:heh:That is correct.
Thanks to S4 being so damned possible, I think Kluize's UBW ending got delayed indefinitely. Looks like the ghost is still going to haunt us...

On one hand, things look to be less silly, but on the other hand, this screws AltS 2's premise completely, or the Alhazred exploration arcs...
uhm.. no worry, it can still be adjusted
@ S4 possibility
AS long as it's set right aster StrikerS, i will be fine, if not- i'll be forced to Add a new arc before AlternateS II to fill the gap in.
And it still gets to have the opening line in chapter 1
"There are five stories to a Magical Girl... how she came to be, how she had allies and friends, how she worked and taught, how she lived and finally, how she loved... this is a story of one such Magical Girl..."

Now I'm tempted to start every Point of Light chapter with the phrase, "This is a story of a boy who is yet to realize his destiny..." :uhoh:
lol, I was going to do that for my later chapters...
GATTAI DA!!!!!!!
Wait, why is the Gattai censored? :twitch:
Surely there must be a director's cut version somewhe-
*Gets punched into another dimension*
Suddenly remembered that Erio has the same VA as Yoko!
:D:D:D:D
Speaking of Yoko, I like her better now after the last two episodes. ;)
...However I'm still in love with Nia... :love::love::love::love::love::love:
...:uhoh:
No-no-Nodoka-sama?! :eek: Who dares defile?!?!!? :eek:
I should be the one to Gattai!!! GIGA DRILL, SPIN ON!!!! :cool:
*sniped*:uhoh:
:eek::eek::eek:
*Watches Fate chase after Kha*
*Facepalm.jpg* :heh::heh::heh:
Mai: ...
*sips green tea*
Ten out of ten.
S&W: CHAIRMAN!!!!! :upset:Sophia: And finally, the playboy gets his just desserts.
Artei: Ara, shouldn't you be happy since there's finally some discord?
Sophia: Yes yes this is a good-- EH?! :twitch:
(Artei disappeared)

By end of StrikerS, Kha would've Gattai'd with Sophia (CrosyS) and Sakura Zaki (Kha's Counterattack) for the first time. Other situations where it might apply would be Keroko (also during KCA). During RevivalS, I hope Kha gets another shot at Sophia, and Kha-Hayate Gattai is possible too. During OutcastS, I wanted to be really funny and let Kha Gattai with Anna, creating one helluva Time Paradox, or Gwen if she comes over, or Allison to help her break out of her Astral Prison, or Darry, or Mai for the WTF factor (and the uberIMBA "Confession" bind). :D
Kha-Erio is a friggin mecha, but looks kind of forced... :uhoh: Kha-Subaru is :twitch:, I'm still thinking what Kha-Teana is like, but Kha-Caro is a crowd that includes Voltaire and Signum, becoming VoltaRyuOh with Laevanteinn. :uhoh: :uhoh:
Basically, Kha can Gattai with anyone, it just happens that he can sync with girls better, and Fate the most. :uhoh:
Therefore, only Kha and Fate have access to Lv. 4 Fuzion - the Climax Shift. :cool: ;) :D :D
lol, I was going to do that for my later chapters...Is this for Rhea/Gaia? Now this I gotta see. :3
I won't be very active today; studying for test tomorrow.

That's a lot of Gattai's there, Kha truly is similar to Lagann...
Kha: KHAAAAAA IMPACTO!!!!!!
But a Mai Gattai? What the? Wouldn't the light be incompatible with darkness? :heh:

Now, for a short four-line preview to more of the Zudaiba Arc:
“And don’t forget to use protection now, all of you.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Uhm, guess my firewall’s up.”
“Of course.”
:uhoh:

I had this in mind before watching GL, possibly with inspiration from Vandread, since Vanguard could hop around the 3 Dreads. Coincidentally, it happened to resemble Erementar Gerade. :heh: GL gave me the impetus to make all those inneudos. :D... :heh:
And Kha-Mai is gonna require a Lyrical Magic stabilized fusion... "Jigoku Metal"? :uhoh:

:uhoh:Kaylin, Asuka, Shinji and Rei?
Though Shinji is technically swimming in a sea of 2 women... :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh:
