Spoiler for Vampire!Fate pt.2 (Nanoha):
I awoke with a start when I felt cold water being doused on my head. Despite the water pooling around my face I couldn't quite seem to find the energy to lift my cheek off of the floor. My eyes saw nothing but a clean white floor spanning in front of me leading to the feet of what seemed to be someone wearing crystaline armor that held a pinkish-red tint to it.
"Get up." A female voice demanded of me. When I didn't do as requested I cried out as her foot connected with my side to flip me onto my back. The attack probably wouldn't have hurt many people too badly but I felt the spot stinging and tears came to my eyes from the pain. My body was too weak as it was, and right now I desperately needed my medicine.
"I don't think she is able to." An almost metallic voice stated simply.
"Shut up." The first voice demanded and I felt my hair being grabbed. After a twist I was holstered up and throw against a wall back first. I cried out again and leaned forward, weakly coughing blood while trying to breathe.
"She is hurt, she needs medical attention." The second female voice spoke again and I tried to weakly look up to see who the nicer person was. The only other person in the room was a girl wearing a quite revealing set of armor. Light red crystal covered her joints and a white material covered the rest of herself in a short miniskirt and open jacket. Her breasts were supported by a matching blue bra and what seemed to be panty sides were lining her hips.
"I said shut up, you worthless piece of scrap. Just because you can think doesn't mean you can tell me what to do." The woman spoke to the other that I couldn't see and I tried my best to look at her so I wouldn't get hit again. "Stop crying, dammit." She reared back to strike me but stopped before her open palm made contact. "damn it, it you stop my motions one more time I'll destroy your mainframe and format you!" The hand moved again and I got a lighter slap than I had anticipated.
"Where... Am I?" My throat stung and my lungs were stinging along with most of my body.
"That doesn't matter. I want to know what your girlfriend's weakness is, and you're going to tell me."
I tried to rack my brain with something to say but instead I found myself grabbed and lifted up in the air, back pressing against the wall and hand around my neck. "I.. can't breathe..." I gasped out desperately for air and then saw a face in front of mine. Dark green eyes were staring at me, piercing into me so hard I could actually feel my body shiver from it. The hand let me go and I landed on my feet before collapsing yet again.
"Che, this girl is pathetic!"
"She must have something wrong with her body. I suggest leaving her alone or no information will be obtained."
I groaned against my will and hugged myself, shaking as the female knelt down in front of me. Against my will I opened my eyes again to look at her and felt tears running down my cheeks. I wanted to say something but I was so scared my mouth wouldn't open. She, on the other hand, smirked at me and spoke smoothly. "Unfortunately for you, I don't like listening to my partner." She stood up fully and flexed her hand. "Strike Flame."
"Command denied."
"Back talk me again and I swear to the gods that I'll destroy you! Now, Strike Flame!"
I hugged myself tighter and chocked on my tears as I saw a long line of red energy come from the girl's hand. "I'm sorry," the other voice told me softly.
Spoiler for Vampire!Fate pt.3 (Nanoha):
~**~
When I awoke again I felt the pain come back to me all at once. My body ached with every heartbeat and I knew that if my body could support itself I would be throwing up right now. Unfortunately all I could do was lay on the ground where I was and pray to pass out again. When I realized that I wouldn't be able to go under again, I opened my eyes weakly. There was blood on the floor, staining the clean white surface. My vision was flashing red and loud sounds were all around me.
Slowly, I closed my eyes again and took a deep breath. I don't know how long I layed on the floor but when my body was gently lifted to be cradled I suddenly felt a surge of energy come into me from the nice feeling. I could swear I heard my name being called and I opened my eyes to see the hazy face of Subaru above me.
"Oh thank god," she gasped out in worry. "I was scared they killed you."
"Subaru..." I winced at the feeling of my voice moving through my throat and had to cough. "What's...going on?"
"Shh, don't talk. Fate sent me to get you." She lifted me up to carry and my head fell to the side. The sight before me made my world stop for several seconds. A body, the female from before, was dead... torn apart... My body lurched and I almost fell from the arms holding me as I threw up, both from the sight and the movement happening. I closed my eyes but the vision was still there... blood everywhere... ripped apart...
"Nanoha! Are you okay!?"
I panted, gasping for air as saliva dripped from my lips, leaning strands behind them. It was then that I noticed that the flashing red wasn't from my eyes but from an alarm light running above the room. Another loud noise came and I recognized it as an explosion this time. "What...?"
"Let's go. I have to get you out of here. Can you stand?"
I was so confused. "N-no..."
"Dammit..." Subaru lifted me again and I looked involuntarily at the mess on the wall and floor, catching sight of a small red orb that was laying not far from it. The words 'I'm sorry' were repeating on it over and over, forming one word at a time in a scrolling sequence.
Just because you can think doesn't mean you can tell me what to do.
"Subaru..." She looked at me and I weakly pointed at the gem. "Get that... Please..."
"Okay," Subaru carried me to the gem and grabbed it, handing the sphere over to me. "Now rest, we're getting out of here."
"Okay..." I clutched the orb in my palm and felt a voice enter my head...
Spoiler for Vampire!Fate pt.5 (Nanoha):
Before I could reply to the voice speaking to me I cried as my hair was grabbed and pulled upwards. The pain was almost too much to bear and I could feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. My whole body was sore but still seared with sharp pains from both the inside and out. At that moment, I questioned why I had even kept trying to live through the agony.
The doctors were right afterall... I wouldn't live to make it past this year....
"When you're dead," Whoever was holding me up was speaking now. "The Vampire will be too distracted to fight back.
'Fate!' I slowly reached up and weakly put my hands on the person's wrist. 'I don't want her to die! Please, Help me!'
I felt it immediately. The orb in my hand seemed to almost melt into me, a warm sensation running over my skin, flowing to my shoulder and spreading out over my entire body.
Executing command: raise holy energy amplifying raydric technology.
My joints screamed in pain as I was dropped down onto the ground again. Every part of my body that could bend seared as if I had just burned them all at once. Just as soon as the pain came, however, it left.
Executing Command: God's Armor, barrier jacket
I felt the cool air of the room embrace my suddenly naked body before a new material came over me. I felt the weird fabric almost seem to crawl over me before it stopped after reaching the top of my head. My eyes opened in shock, looking down at my body in awe. Each hand was now covered in a black glove that showed my fingers. Each knuckle held a pink-ish red tinted crystal covering it, embedded in my skin as if it were a part of me all my life. Moving down my arms, I saw a pure white material flow over my arms. The fabric formed a jacket around my upper body, going down just to where my breast line was before cutting off to fully reveal my torso all the way around. A blue bikini style top held my breasts firm and covered them properly. Lower, I saw the thong style straps of my panties tailing my hips before being covered by a white miniskirt accented by blue triangles at the bottom moving upwards for design. My legs held stockings now before entering into a weird type of combat boot that also somehow resembled normal sneakers, as they didn't go much higher than my ankles.
Execute command: Load cartridge.... Master?
"Ca-Cartridge?" I asked in shock, looking from my body to the man in front of me and back again. The shock of whatever just happened was starting to fade away and the pain was starting to grip me once again.
Blood given by your master. A vial.
The man infront of me seemed to have recovered from his surprise and was now glaring at me, saying something about somebody failing int their job. Ignoring this, I reached into my shoe and was releaved to find Fate's vial still there after... after whatever transformation just happened with my cloths. "This?"
Yes, load please.
I felt something on my left wrist move and I pulled back the jacket there to see that the glove extended down past my wrist. A small slot was open, but was too small to fit the vial into. "It- it won't fit!" I looked up in fear as the man started walking to me once again.
Pour it into the area!
I quickly did as I was asked, getting the black blood to fill the chamber and close just before my neck was grabbed and I was hoisted up once again. My feet were dangling above the ground and my hands were desperatly trying to pry the strong thick fingers off my my neck.
Routing blood.
I felt the hand tighten and I chocked on my own saliva.
Loading cartridge.
Several pricks came along my body and I felt the familiar sting of something entering my bloodstream.
Commands complete.
My hand moved on it's own, gripping the man's wrist and squeezing it. Several cracks sounded and I was dropped, landing easily on my feet. My hand continued to tighten, now bringing the large man to his knees as he screamed. My other hand moved as well, reaching forward and grabbing his shirt before hoisting him into the air like a doll, holding him far above my head so his feet didn't touch the ground anymore.
"Leave us alone." The robotic voice was speaking aloud now and my weight shifted, throwing the man literally through the wall next to me. When the dust settled, I looked in shock at what I had just done, without even telling my body to. "Are you ready, my master?"
I looked over at Subaru and ran to her, lifting the unconscious girl up to cradle into my arms. She felt light as a feather, and it was then that I noticed it...
I had never felt more alive than I do right now.
Spoiler for Vampire!Fate pt.6(Nanoha):
We need to get both of you out of here.
"But Fate-chan!" I skidded to a halt when the hallway I was running down split into two different directions.
Go left. I can hear your thoughts.
I nodded and turned to run that direction, still amazed at how easy it seemed to be. I can't even recall the last time I jogged longer than a few minutes, let alone run full speed without pain in my chest. Now... Now I felt as if I was walking on air, as if there was nothing to stop me from going as far or as fast as I desired...
My body reacted on it's on, ducking down and sliding along the floor as some type of bat was swung from around a corner. As I skidded to a halt, I sat Subaru down and looked up with wide eyes at the three people standing before me. Each wore the white clothing with golden crosses, and all were holding some type of weapon.
Paladins. Let me fight, Master.
I didn't know what to do, let alone stop it from happening. I felt the tug at my body and went with it, easily darting forward and dodging all three attacks without even trying to. My hand reached out and grabbed one man's shirt, ripping it hard and slinging him off his feet into another. Both men flew into the wall and fell to the floor with a small crash. My body then bent backwards as a staff of some type was swung at me. I watched the weapon go above my head almost in slow motion as my hands touched the floor. My feet kicked up and I nailed the man right under the chin as I did a perfect back handspring.
'What is happening!?' I asked silently, shocked once more as the man fell. He was out cold, and I didn't even feel like I used enough force to swat a fly with my shoe.
I can control your body, Master. We are together as one in this form.
I swallowed, but nodded anyway. Even if I wanted to ask more questions, I had to get my friend to safety as well as find Fate-chan. 'Tell me, how can I help Fate-chan!?'
By being safe. Proceed forward ten yards and turn right.
I didn't question the pendant anymore and picked up Subaru once more. I began running once again and came to a sturdy looking door with an ID scanner next to it. Before I could suggest that we find a card my body moved again, twirling around and lashing out a foot that snapped the door off the lock and bent it at an odd angle. Daylight greeted me as well as a short girl in tattered clothing.
The girl was quickly recognized as Hayate and I looked at her in shock for a few moments before speaking. "Are-are you okay? Did they get you too?"
Hayate looked down at her mostly shredded clothing and then to her fingernails, which were shrinking down from long curved points. "I'm fine, they didn't have any silver." I was going to ask what that had to do with anything but she turned and started to run. "Come on, we'll meet Fate at her apartment!"
I ran after the girl, trying hard to just keep moving forward before I broke down into tears at the confusion running through me. As I ran by the fallen people outside of the building we were in, I couldn't help but notice claw marks and cracked concrete below me.
... It was almost as if some type of beast had attacked them.
Spoiler for Vampire!Fate pt.7(Fate):
I slowly stood up and looked at the people who came running into the room I was in. My right hand gripped Bardiche tighter, the curved blade on it sparking with a yellow electric fire. I looked at them with my hazed white eyes, wings spreading out behind me and showering the area with black feathers. As I raised my other hand, lighting crackled from beneath their feet and rose in pillars around each of them. My hand closed slowly, making the surge stop and allow smoking bodies to lay on the floor.
Looking once more at the body laying behind me, drained of blood, I turned and walked out of the room. I could feel that Nanoha was safe now, and I could leave if I wanted to, but as I saw more people in the building I couldn't help but grin sadistically.
I moved forward quickly, chasing the people running from me. The one in the rear was grabbed and I watched in pleasure as my blade penetrated him. Not stopping there, I continued my attack. They were moving so slow, I could take my time in my movements. Blood splattered agaisnt the wall and another slash mark was cleaved into it. The third man was screaming now, having fallen down and turned to look at me while scooting back on the ground. He was begging for his life, talking about his wife and children.
I leaned forward so our noses were almost touching and smirked at him. "I will kill you, and drag your body to your child's room so they can see it." He was shaking now, eyes wide in fear, as I reared back Bardiche and prepared to make due on my promise.
'That's enough!'
I stopped my blade, black feathers slinging past and making the man pass out. A sick grin came on my face as I heard my other self strongly opposing me. "Time up already?" I spoke aloud as I felt the pull from the inside start to take me over again. "Don't forget, Jeanne," I told her as I was once again sealed within the body of the blonde. "You sold your soul to me, I will always be here."
I fell to the floor and gasped heavily. The white sheen on my vision faded away slowly and I felt the weight on my back die down to nothing. As I wobbily stood, I shook my head to clear it. "Christ..." I swore while leaning against the wall. "I... have to get out of here... Nanoha..."
Her name made me come to my senses much faster and I ran down the hallways quickly. What few people I saw avoided me quickly by taking different routes or by freezing in place, to which I simply ran past them. The outside passage was found in the form of a window on the third floor. Leaping out, I flipped neatly to the ground and began running. A leap later and I found myself on top of a building, bounding across the close rooftops before being forced to take to the ground due to the spacing differences. People were weaved in and out of, almost standing still from the speed I was running at.
Finally I landed in a yard I knew quite well. The place was abandoned but still had running water, to which I took advantage of in the form of a waterhose. The thick red and black blood was washed off of myself as quickly as I could get it. Thankfully my clothing didn't show the stains and after a few minutes I was free to go on my way again, now feeling safe about walking into my complex.
I gave the man behind the desk a look that clearly read 'I had a bad day, don't ask.' and was nodded at curtly. My elevator took me to my floor much to slow for my liking and when I finally arrived I found an armful of Nanoha greeting me. I pulled her closer to myself and held her tightly, taking a long moment to just feel her touch. "Nanoha... I'm so sorry."
"Don't be," She spoke against my chest and squeezed me hard enough for me to actually feel comforted by. "I knew things like this might happen when you told me everything... when you gave me things to defend myself with... I chose it, and I don't regret it."
I closed my eyes and placed my hand on the back of her head, pulling her closer. "You're one special young lady." I could feel her grin at me and we slowly parted to look at each other. "Nanoha!?" I stared in shock at her body. "What the hell!?"
"Her name is Raising Heart. I just gave it to her." She showed me an orb on the back of her left hand. "She is an AI, way above anything I ever thought could exist." She noticed my disapproving look and shook her head. "Don't worry, it's okay. I saved her, and she saved me... we're friends."
"I don't trust it." I took her hand and inspected the gem that had fused with her. "Can you take it off?"
"I... don't know?" She looked at the item curiously and before either of us could speak again, Nanoha shrieked out in pain before stumbling back and trying to steady herself.
"Are you okay!?" I took a hasty step forward but Nanoha seemed to recover a lot faster than I expected her to. "Nanoha?"
"Wow, that stings." She rubbed her hands, now free of whatever had been grafted onto it. Surprisingly, there were no marks showing that she had recently been connected with the device, making me wonder.
"Nanoha... Are you okay? Really?"
"Better than I've ever been in my life." She smiled at me brightly. "After Raising Heart did her joining thing, she asked me to load a cartridge or something like that. I used the vial you gave me to-"
"You used it!?" I grabbed her shoulders and looked at her closely. Her eyes were startled but sharp and I could tell just by holding her now that she was stronger. "Nanoha..."
"What?" She swallowed. "Fate-chan, you're scaring me...What is it?"
"... Nothing." I smiled down at her fondly and kissed her forehead. "I'm just glad you're safe." I took a long intake of air and held her close again. "Where are the others?"
"Hayate-chan said she would explain everything to me later, and Tea came to pick up Subaru-chan not too long after we got here."
"Okay." I moved back just enough to look down at her. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine...are you? Did they hurt you?"
"No." She drank my blood, so I knew even if she did get hurt she would be fine now... no wonder she healed so fast after that device unmerged with her. "We should get you back to your house, Caro and Erio must be wondering where we are by now."
"Yeah..." She nodded at me and smiled lightly. "You may want to change clothes." She suddenly looked shocked and glanced down to her own clothing, probably just now noticing that she wasn't in that outfit anymore. "Oh wow... I wonder how that works..." She seemed to think about it a moment before looking back up at me. "Can I borrow some clothes?"
"Um... Yeah, I may have something that will fit you." I walked with her to my closet to look at the options for the smaller girl.
"This looks about right." Nanoha reached out and pulled a leather outfit from the racks. Granted, it would cling to my body tightly, it would still fit her while not being tight.
"Okay." I smiled at her. "Strip."
Nanoha grinned at me, picked up the zip-up boots under the outfit, and walked out of the closet and up my stairs to my bedroom.
I felt relieved that she could still play around with me, but the lingering in the back of my mind still wouldn't go away. I wasn't worried about her safety, I was sure the paladins would never try to harm her to get to me again, but still... Her blood currently had mine in it, and that meant that she would have almost super natural strength and speed for the next few days, as well as the ability to heal.
But when that blood was cycled out of her body...
Vote time!
A.) Nanoha
B.) Fate
