[Kagerou]

Ironically, I have something along those lines... well, sorta.

At any rate, here's the final two scenes of and the ED for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Alpha. This is Episode 1: My Magical Incantation...

Spoiler for MSLN Alpha, Scenes VII and VIII:

In the Takamachi household, the front door opened. Inside stepped a tall figure, draped with long blonde hair and wearing a tight black uniform. Closing the door quietly, she took off her shoes and walked up to the couch, where Nanoha slept with the Sankt Kaiser report tucked between her head and arm. Sighing, the blonde walked past her and up the stairs, heading for Vivio's room. Knocking gently, the woman slowly opened the door. "Vivio? Are you awake?"

There was no answer. Peering in, the woman couldn't help but smile. Vivio was asleep, using an arm as a pillow with the other stretched across the desk. Amidst the chaos of her room, Vivio was the pinnacle of peace, a whirlwind that was abated. Walking slowly up to the girl, the woman pushed gently on Vivio's shoulder. "Vivio, wake up... mama's home."

Vivio stirred, slowly. Opening her eyes, she looked up to the soft and gentle face of her mother, Fate T. Harlown. A small smile came to Vivio's face as she sat up and stretched. "Uwah~ ...hi, Fate-mama..."

"Just a 'hi'?" Fate asked, acting hurt and standing up straight, looking away. "After not seeing me for all this time? Mou..."

"Oh, please, it was only for two weeks," Vivio said, standing up and nearly tackling Fate, giving her a tight hug. "...but it's still good to see you, Fate-mama." Fate's heart warmed at the gesture as she returned the hug. "I've missed you."

"I've missed you, too," Fate told the girl. "You and Nanoha-chan." Vivio stiffened a bit in Fate's embrace, but said nothing. "Are you two still not getting along well?"

"Well it's only been a month," Vivio said as the two let go. The younger girl grabbed one arm with the other as she stared down a bit. "I mean, I am trying, Fate-mama, I really am... but some days, I just get so frustrated..." I want to be a good girl to my mothers... but there's something...

"I understand," Fate nodded. "When... some things happened, a long time ago, I latched on to Nanoha, but at the same time I found it difficult to really trust her, though I'd never admit it. Enforcer Training actually helped me solidify my feelings for Nanoha, and I definitely trusted her after I got out of that hell." She smiled and put an embarrassed palm to her face. "Oh, my, I'm saying those things that embarrass you again."

Vivio smiled back. "It's okay when no one else is around, Fate-mama, you know that." Putting a finger to her lips, she thought for a bit. "Hm... when do you leave again?"

Fate's expression darkened a bit. "...Three days," She sighed. "I'm to help Kha's unit on another world... something about hunting a violent criminal and fighting off monsters of all things." she chuckled. "Sounds like something out of a bad thriller, ne?" Vivio snorted a laugh at that. "I'm sorry I can't stay longer, Vivio."

"It's okay, I understand," Vivio replied almost too quickly. "I'm just glad I can see you while I can."
"That's good," Fate nodded. "I know things have been difficult these past several years, but together, we can all build something better. I can see myself and Kha, Nanoha and-" Fate blushed and stopped herself. "Oh, nevermind." When Vivio tilted her head and gave her a questioning look, Fate rapidly changed the subject. "Eto... how about you get started on dinner, and I'll wake up Nanoha?"

"Uh... sure," Vivio said, seeing through the weak effort. She nodded nontheless. "I'll get to it."

Together, the two walked back downstairs, Vivio slightly trailed behind. Fate and Vivio got along far better than Nanoha and Vivio; the two kept some form of contact over the years, as sometimes Fate's missions would send her off for months at a time. As Vivio's home life spiraled downward and out of control, taking her with it, Fate was one of the things keeping her from jumping over the edge.

But there was a wall; Vivio knew it, and she wasn't sure Fate did - but the two would never really be as close as they would like. Years of nothing but letters and phone conversations would do that. They could laugh, talk, and love each other dearly... but Vivio would never tell Fate of her days at school, or how she was feeling, or anything like that... well, not willingly.

Vivio, lost in thought, made her way to the kitchen and grabbed some veggies to make dinner with. Without any clear indication on what to make, she instead focused on a particular vegetable and listened in on the conversation behind her as she cut it.

Fate knelt at the side of the couch, gently pushing Nanoha's shoulder. "Hey, Nanoha-chan... time to wake up..." The body stirred, slowly, much like a tired adolescent, as Nanoha slowly rolled over, her uniform wrinkled as she moved about on it. Slowly, Nanoha opened her eyes and stared dully at Fate. "Ah, hello, Nanoha-chan."

"...hello, Fate-chan," Nanoha said quietly. "It's nice to see you again." Nanoha smiled in such a way that Fate couldn't tell if she was forcing it or not. "How... are things?"

"Same as usual," Fate told her, grabbing one of the Takamachi woman's hands and squeezing it gently. "How are you? Feeling any better?" Nanoha shook her head. "Worse?"

"..." Nanoha didn't answer, instead staring at the report in her hand. "Eleven years..." she whispered. Fate sighed. "What?"

"Why do you have to stare at that, every night?" Fate asked her. "Why do you have to remind yourself of that?"
"..." Nanoha looked away. "I... I don't know... because when I do... it lets me know that..." she shrugged. "There's nothing I can do..."

"I just... don't get it, Nanoha-chan." Fate stood up. "Because of one thing, you let yourself go... do you even care about her, anymore?"

"I do!" Nanoha blurted. "Really! I... But I..."
"Ow!"

Fate's head snapped up. "Shit..." she cursed under her breath, nearly toppling over herself to check on her daughter. Nanoha simply continued to lay there, her mind shutting down by reflex.

"It hurts!" Vivio whined. The knife she was using to cut with lay on the kitchen floor, spattered with blood, as Vivio's own right index finger bled rapidly, a clean cut along the top from just below her fingernail to just above the middle knuckle. Fate opened the cabinet and tossed stuff around, searching quickly for a bandage while simultaneously handing Vivio a clean dish towel.

"Apply pressure," she said. "It'll stem the bleeding till I find- ah!" Finding a set of large bandages, she pulled them out and ripped one open rapidly. Taking Vivio's hand, Fate wrapped up the finger with the bandage, applying pressure on it as she did. "We might need to take you to a doctor, Vivio; that's a large cut." she told the girl. "Are you feeling alright?"

"I... I think so..." Vivio stared at her finger as Fate let go, sighing with relief. Staring at the bandage, she couldn't help but feel amazed that Fate had literally dropped the conversation to help Vivio, despite being such a small part of her life. "Fate-mama, you didn't-"

"Oh, bother," Fate chided, patting her daughter on the head. "Look, I'll make dinner, you relax, okay?" Vivio nodded, looking ashamed of herself. "Look, Vivio-chan, it's nothing to be upset about, okay?"

"I... I guess..." Vivio sighed. "Hey, I'm gonna call one of my friends before dinner."
"Okay. I'll shout for you when its ready."

Vivio turned and walked out of the kitchen, cradling her injured finger and wondering why had she done what she did. When she had heard Nanoha's cry that she did care about Vivio, it was like... like something snapped, the young mage decided. Like she needed to see if Nanoha was telling Fate the truth. So she raised the knife into the air and-

Vivio's eyes met Nanoha's.

Nanoha's were full of fear and regret.
Vivio's... were simply disappointed. Huffing, Vivio stalked back up to her room. Nanoha watched the girl go before burying her head under her hands, disappointed in herself. In the kitchen, Fate sighed, feeling the tension behind her swell. I'll help them fix things. she vowed as she began dinner preparations. Even if it's the death of me, those two will reconcile, and we can close this chapter of their lives. They're my family, too!

TSAB Headquarters, Unknown Room

"It appears that things are nearly set."
"Indeed."

A room of the HQ cloaked in shadows. Only the lights of monitors and a faint blue glow emanating from a shard of glass hanging from the ceiling illuminated the room. Within the room, six figures draped in Barrier Jackets shaped like cloaks sat on a hexagonal table, each one a different color.

The green one spoke first. "The outbreaks are getting to the point where we can't contain it."
The blue one was next. "So what? Let the Spawn spill out. The chaos may serve our purpose in the long run. If we can bring it out sooner, then all the better."

"There's still a problem," The violet one interjected, bringing an image of three familiar girls. "These two, Takamachi and Yagami, may pose a threat if they find out."

"You can forget about Takamachi," One in white said. "But Yagami is powerful, and Georashi is also a threat..."
"Indeed, as is Testarossa's daughter," An image of Fate was brought up. "I will compile a list of other threats to our Project."

"Very good," Their leader said: a mage cloaked in yellow. "Project OMEGA must go off without a hitch if we are to acheive total control," Looking at one of the others, he said, "Do you have it?"

"Yes, sir," The one in brown answered, pulling out a cage. Inside, with gnashing teeth and bound arms, an Infection Form hissed at the group. "We are in the process of studying it. If we can control the Abomination..."

"Then we will be one step closer to acheiving our goals... and it will be ours!" The one in yellow said. "The Belkan Prophecies spoke of the mythical City on the Hill, and soon, with the help of the monsters and Project OMEGA, we will be crowned its kings!"

"...or better than kings... Gods."
