As to not get caught up in the contest herself, the girl excused herself from the table and walked to the bar of the nightclub. She sat next to a blue haired girl and ordered a strawberry daiquiri to sip on while the harder stuff settled in her stomach.
"Hey," The girl spoke to her after a few moments. "What brings a pretty little thing like yourself here?"
Vivio looked to the side and grinned, slightly tipsy, at the mis-matched eyes looking at her. One red, one blue, the heterchromia was pronounced fully. "Are you hitting on me?"
"Yup." The woman propped her cheek up on her palm and looked at Vivio with an amused smile. It was obvious she was crossing onto the drunk side but the cheerful expression on her face made Vivio stay at her seat.
"I'm celebrating a new DVD release," Vivio answered the first question asked of her.
"Oh? Favourite movie come out?" A smile came paired with a giggle. "I'm Syn, by the way."
"Vivio," she introduced herself. "And no, I work for a company that just finished one. It should be on the market in a few weeks."
"Hmmmmm," Syn hummed while chewing on this information. "Better than me."
"What do you do?"
Syn suddenly looked a little sad and crossed her arms on the bar before resting her chin on them. "I got fired today."
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
The blue haired one closed her eyes. "My boss was hitting on me earlier and I turned him down... A few days later I'm fired for something so stupid it doesn't even make sense..."
"I see..." Vivio felt sad for the girl sitting next to her. 'Such a pretty little thing too... No wonder she's drowning her woes.'
"...and I don' know how I'm going to pay my bills," Syn was still talking, eyes lightly glazed. "I'm already a month behind on my rent...." She looked lightly as the bartender came to her, giving the look of if she wanted another glass or not.
Vivio took the bottle the man was holding and filled up Syn's small glass with it. "Go ahead, it's on me."
"...Thanks." She took a drink and gave it an apreciative look. "You said your name was Vivio?"
"Mmmhn."
"Pretty name." Syn turned to face her once more.

Conversion
Spoiler for Ch 9:
“Fate. Is that your name? Very fitting if I have learned your language correctly.”
A deep voice was in her head. She realized it was the same voice from the horrendous dream she had some time ago. She couldn’t remember how much time had passed since the battle at the experimental lab. She tried to open her eyes but she couldn’t. She could only breathe and think.
“Do you remember what I said in your dream? That I had disabled your nerve system? Think your answer, don’t try to speak.”
Think? Like this?
“That’s better. The difference from then and now is that I have disabled all of your body functions. Except your ability to breathe, of course.”
Fate’s mind didn’t know what to make out of it all. A dream? Again? But this felt so real, the voice so deep as if it reached into her being.
“As you are a worthy one, I will explain to the best of my knowledge of what will happen to you. That is my duty as a reaper.”
So she had been captured by the reapers. Worthy one? I’ve read and heard that word a lot from you lately. What does it mean?
Fate felt how the voice lost its grip of her mind by just a bit. It was absent for a couple of seconds before returning.
“Not even I, even though it’s my duty, know that. It’s the reason I live, a deep explanation within my core. I’m programmed to search for a worthy one, one that is worthy to join us and help us.”
Join you? Is that why you have always focused on me?
“Your question is correct. We will use a technique, an old technique, used only a few times amongst us. It converts you, transforms your being into one of us. You are our…I do not have a similar word but I guess I can use one of yours.” The voice said and took a short pause. ”God.”
God? You refer to me as your god?
“You can say that, yes. Worthy ones are selected by us, by standards you can’t hope to comprehend.”
Fate grew more scared of what was going to happen. She wasn’t sure, but it certainly didn’t sound good.
And what are you going to do with me? What if I resist and don’t want to join you?
The voice didn’t respond for several seconds. Fate was beginning to wonder I she had asked a question the voice couldn’t handle.
She was wrong.
“Resist? I don’t think you understand your situation. You don’t have a choice. You are one of the few chosen, one of the few worthy ones who have been offered one of the greatest gifts possible.”
Which is?
“Immortality. Godhood. Whatever you want to call it.”
Fate didn’t know what to say.
“The time has come. The conversion process will begin. Our god will soon arrive and we will stand united. Come, Fate. And embrace us as your loyal followers.”
Fate felt something in the back of her head. Her mind was drifting away and she felt light headed.
No. She tried to resist the effect. I don’t want to. Stop.
The voice had disappeared and she was on her own. Memories were flashing past at high speed. She realized that whatever was doing this was destroying them, erasing them as if they had never existed. She still tried to resist, catching one of the few memories left.
No, wait. Caro don’t walk away. Erio, come back. Nanoha…
=== ===
“How could this happen? How could they get past our surveillance?” Hayate said as she was looking through the reports. She was frustrated and sad. Everyone reported the same story. The reapers had come from somewhere inside the building, taken out the guards and managed to get to the medical bay before the alarm went off. How they got inside the building and then outside were still a mystery.
Hayate had received a small warning just before the alarm went off. When Shamal had fallen unconscious, Hayate’s link to the knight had given off a response. A fraction of a second later the alarm had gone off inside the base.
Rein shook her head and turned to Hayate. “I don’t know more than you about this, but I do know that you need to stop blaming yourself. We need you to stay focused.”
The girl nodded and suppressed her feelings, for the moment. She had already called the others for an emergency meeting, to see if they could come up with something that could save Fate.
They were supposed to meet her in ten minutes.
=== ===
They arrived exactly ten minutes later. As they entered her office, the tension rose and the mood went down further. They had lost a battle, an important one to note, and they all knew it.
Stopping in front of Hayate’s desk, they looked at her with determined eyes. Although the mood was low, she sensed that their determination was now higher than ever.
“We were misinformed. The outpost call was a diversion, a scheme to remove our greatest fighting force from the base, allowing them to infiltrate us.” She paused. “Now, I have no doubt that Fate can take care of herself, but I also believe that you, the Nova team, want to help her. You are our single most powerful team we have to offer against the Reapers and I have all of my confidence in you.”
She stopped and entered some commands into a console. A screen lit up and an overlay of a base popped up.
“This,” she said and pointed at the screen, “is a Reaper base. Just after the alarm went off, I assigned a scout to follow them. He managed to get to this location.”
She pointed at a hill some hundred meters to the west of the base. It had a good overlook over a mountain’s wall. As they looked more closely, one part of it seemed metallic. Hayate noticed where they were looking.
“It’s just as you think. This is the entrance to their base, but what is inside we can only speculate of. My scout didn’t notice anything strange outside, but there could be traps everywhere. This is probably not their headquarter either, considering they have no security on the outside.”
She leaned forward and eyed each one of them.
“What I want you to do is to go in there, reach Fate, extract her and get the hell out of there,” she said. “You won’t be alone though. Both myself, and half of our military force will be backing you up.”
She paused to gather her thoughts and continued.
“This is bigger than a simple rescue operation. As soon as you extract Fate, get back inside and help the remaining forces to capture the base. This will give us the opportunity we need to do research on the Reapers and develop a better understanding of how we can counter them more effectively.
Am I making myself clear?”
The others looked at each other before turning their attention back to Hayate. Arms were brought to bear in a salute gesture. They knew Fate needed help and nothing would stop them from bringing it to her.
“Yes, ma’am!”
Hayate nodded and gave them a creepy smile with a sparkle in her eyes.
“Good. Now let’s show these metal cans what a TSAB mage can do.”
=== ===
Who am I? Where am I? This…this sensation. What is it?
“Are you awake?”
Awake? I think so, but I can’t move. Who are you?
“I am simply…Reaper.”
I see. I guess I will remember more soon.
“I hope you do. The reason you can’t move is because your old, biological body have not installed itself properly into your new, reformed body. This is normal.”
I understand. I’m having a vague memory that I am…a worthy one? Is that correct?
“To a certain extent, yes. Now, do you know who I am?”
My loyal believer. You believe in me. You place your trust in me.
“Correct. I am your loyal servant. I do as you order me to, my lord.”
“My lord?” I like the sound of it.
“I’m glad, my lord. Now, do what you have to do. Search your inner self, the being you have become. You will find the answers there. Lead me. Command me. I will do your bidding, my lord. Now, rise from your long sleep.”
The lord felt her limbs returning. Mechanical parts made their unique sound as she straightened up and went towards the railing overlooking the base. Reapers, hundreds of them, stood lined up in perfect lines, their attention directed at her.
Do as I command. Do my bidding and you shall be granted your gift. Follow me, Fate, your lord, your god. Follow me to your destiny.

Spoiler for Author's note:
Pretty short chapter, but this series is coming to its ends. Chapter 10 and 11 will be longer (I hope) and the 11th will also be FINAL.
I shouldn't really post this but I need some opinions on this pic I made just now. It's a banner for the last chapter and I'm really satisfied with it. You might recognize where it's from...

It has been a long way, since that short in wich you introduced the Reapers until this chapter
I had always liked this creation of yours since the begining
I'd like to work with the Reapers in the future if you allow me to
