Nanoha: Ikinasai, Keroko-chan! Zenryoku Zenkai!!!
Aurion: Chott-

Almaria: [The defensive measures were 32.46% successful]
Nanoha/Keroko: <coughs> Oopsie...
Aurion: <covered with soot> Zenryoku Zenkai... Datto? What happened to good old regulation, huh? Takamachi kyoudai?

Aha, that was fun once in a while, but Aurion isn't supposed to be making weapons now!
He's supposed to, uh ... make some women's underclothes!

Spoiler for length:
His eyes opened.
“Where am I?” He got up from the bed and looked round, realizing he was inside the hospital. “I didn’t remember going here in the first place…” He looked at his hands. Then at his body. They had returned to their former size. He was startled; what really happened?
He remembered.
“Ah, that’s right… I used Time Halt to beat the thugs, but I forgot to unlock the limiter. And then… Freya caught my body…”
(“Yutaro! Don’t die on me!” the girl begged. “Yutaro! Yutaro!”
He smiled. “Freya…” He closed his eyes. “Thank you…”
“Yutaro? Yutaro! YUTARO!!!!”)
He frowned. “…I don’t know what really happened, but… did I have to leave Freya without saying goodbye? How foolish…” He cringed: the memories he had shared and forged with the Gemini Sister named Freya; the happiness and sadness they had shared together; the vow they had sworn together. Everything.
Everything.
“Once summer leaves, I’ll never able to retrieve the kind of memories…” He shook his head and clenched the bandage-enveloped hands on the blanket. “I’ll surely miss those days…”
“Excuse me.”
He turned around. It was a boy. “Yes?”
“You might be one of the Riot Force 6 officers, right?” the red-haired boy spoke and handed over pen and paper. “Pleased to meet you. I’m Wakamoto Yutaro. Can I have your autograph?”
“Wakamoto… Yutaro?” He was startled; he was the boy whom name he had stolen without even having a second thought! Forcing himself to laugh, he took the paper and signed it. “Well, well, Yutaro, pleased to meet you. I’m Hikki. And you seem to have the courage to pay me a visit alone. What brought you here?”
“Actually, one of your friends told me I could approach Riot Force 6 if I could befriend you,” the boy replied. “I had only heard stories of them, but to actually meet one of them this close… I’m somewhat happy.”
Hikki laughed as well. “Thanks for the thoughts, Yutaro- kun,” he spoke. “But what are you doing here anyway?”
The boy laughed again. “I had diarrhoea and was sent here. I met your friends from… what did they say again? Wind Talkers?” He became confused and scratched his head again. “What is that?”
Hikki laughed silly. “Ah, crap… it must be Azali and Faye’s doing…”
(Azali sneezed. “God bless you,” Faye spoke.)
“And you know what,” the boy continued. “Someone told me I had acquired a fan, and it’s a girl.” Here he laughed in a shy manner, scratching the back of his head to show his timidity. “So… do I have the chance to meet her right away? I’ve always wanted a girlfriend, so…”
The door opened. They looked at the coming visitor. Hikki was surprised, for it was none other than Freya. “Freya?”
The girl approached the bed. “I heard what had happened,” she spoke and put the flowers aside. “Your friends from the Wind Talkers met us and explained the whole truth behind the incident.”
Hikki gulped. “Freya…”
She shook her head. “It doesn’t matter. I’m not angry anymore. I’m not happy either, too. It’s just…” She turned away from him, not letting him see her tears. “It’s just that I was foolish to be caught in this scheme.”
“Err… excuse me, but can anyone tell me what’s going on?” the boy asked.
“I thought by loving someone, I would be shown to the reality of living as human,” she said. “I thought by in love with some, it would teach me the values of humanity. I guess I was wrong… to love someone who is not his true self…”
(Outside the ward, Frieda, Takeru, Aura, Poseidon, Cinque, Nove and E were eavesdropping the conversation. They were unsure of what they should do to clear the murky situation Freya was facing.)
“Freya…”
“Mou, it’s enough.” She was shivering. Her heart was breaking into pieces. Her emotion was crumbling into dusts. “It was my fault for not understanding human’s true nature in the first place. It was my fault for falling in love with a liar.”
The boy approached her. “I don’t know what’s really going on, but good girl shouldn’t cry randomly,” he spoke and wiped off the tears.
“What… what are you doing?” Freya mumbled and tried brushing the boy’s hand off her face. “I’m not crying. It was just dust entering my eyes.”
“Your mouth says no, but your eyes say yes,” the boy insisted and continued drying her tears.
“But… but…” She looked into the boy’s eyes, and was touched by his blatant honesty. “You…”
“It’s Yutaro,” the boy pronounced his name. “Now what’s your name?”
“Yu… Yutaro?” The boy nodded and smiled. The girl cried again, although she was smiling this time. “I’m… Freya. Pleased to meet you.”
“Ahem.”
Freya and the boy turned to Hikki. “Before I forget, can both of you come here?” They obliged and approached the bedridden Gale Whistler. He took their hands, tied a ribbon on their little fingers and clasped them together. “This should do it.”
“What are you doing?” Freya gasped.
He chuckled. “Yutaro- kun.”
“Uh, ye, Mister Hikki?”
He glanced to the boy. “You said you want a girlfriend, right? So here she is,” he spoke and shook the hands. “Take a very good care of her. Okay?”
“Really? For serious?” the boy asked.
Hikki nodded. “Isn’t a street performer’s job to make people happy with his talent?”
“Of course, Mister Hikki!” The boy turned to Freya. He grinned. “Yoroshiku na, Freya.”
Freya bashfully nodded. “H… haii. Yoroshiku… onegaishimasu.”
“Now while we’re at it,” Hikki continued and handed the boy his camera. “My congratulation present. Take it. You might find it interesting.”
The boy took the camera and was startled to see his face in many of the photos. “What… what did I just do? I thought I was hospitalized for three days!” he exclaimed. Hikki and Freya laughed at the boy’s clueless response.
(The eavesdropper sighed in relief. “Thank goodness everything’s solved, right?” Poseidon uttered and cried touched tears.
The hospital crews backed away from the tiger in horror. “That tiger talked…” one of the nurses murmured.
“Someone call the wildlife controller…” her friend added.
“I see what you did there, lady,” Poseidon spoke and scared the hell out of them.)
“You sure you don’t have to let go off the camera, Yu… Hikki?”
Hikki nodded. “Camera is replaceable. It’s the memories behind the lens that are here to stay. Right?”
“About now… I’m sorry…” She frowned again, as if realizing she had said things she shouldn’t have. “I’m sorry for saying harsh words at you.”
“What are you talking of, Freya?” He turned to her and giggled. “That’s Freya I know. Affectionate, not too aggressive, and lovely.”
Freya blushed. “Mou… stop praising me. You’ll only make me embarrassed.”
-x-x-x-x-x-
The group gathered in front of the hospital. The wheel-chaired Hikki was helped by Alexandra as he met up with them. It was time for them to go the separate way, and into the uncertain future.
“It’s been a great memory we had shared together, right everyone?” he spoke. “I must firsthand apology for all the troubles I created.”
“What are you talking of? Kid or not, you’re still welcomed to join us anytime,” Frieda said. “Of course, assuming you decide to take that secret formula again.”
“Ms. Frieda, don’t tell me you’re planning to do that again, aren’t you?” Hikki replied.
“That’s a secret,” Frieda replied and wagged a finger.
“Let’s meet again next year, Hikki- kun!” Aura said. “And make sure you don’t do anything weird to us, okay?”
“What? As in peering over you and Takeru doing this and that?” he replied and made the Gemini Sister blush in extreme manner. He ignored Aura who started to yell at him and glanced at Poseidon. “So…”
“So, Gale Whistler, this is where we’ll go our separate way,” the tiger spoke.
He grinned. “As if we won’t meet again,” he chided.
Poseidon chuckled. “Next time, I will not even hold back.”
They exchanged fists.
“Everyone,” the real Yutaro spoke and handed them some peculiar-looking tickets. “Sorry for being shameless, but in accordance to our transformation from street performers to full-time band, I’d like to invite you to our premier concert in Inland Sea Prefecture this Halloween. These are special VIP tickets, and you can’t get them anywhere else.”
Hikki took the ticket. “So the street performers have turned pro, huh? I’ll inform Riot Force 6 about this.”
“Of course we’ll still maintain our quality as what we really are,” Yutaro added. “Don’t forget to give us your fullest support.”
Hikki turned to the Numbers and the solo Letterman. “I don’t really know the three of you, but it’s been a pleasure to meet you throughout the holiday.”
E arrogantly rubbed the underside of his nose. “Don’t mind us, mister. I’m just sad for not having the chance to see some hot sister-on-sister-action--”
Nove killed E for 1500 piece of gold.
Cinque knelt next to the crippled E. “Owned.”
Freya approached Hikki, and giggled as she touched his hand. “…thank you for coming into my life. You’ve brought me happiness I couldn’t find anywhere else.”
“I’m happy to know you as well, Freya,” he replied.
“You know what? Even though you’re no longer Yutaro, I’ll still love you as always,” the Gemini Sister said. “Even though it’s a very short time, I’ll cherish every piece of memory we’ve had.”
Hikki smiled. “So do I, Freya.”
“And… before we leave…” she said and blushed. “Can I ask you for one last punishment?”
He had to laugh. “What is it this time? You and your punishment never fail to amuse me.”
“You have to!” Freya begged. “Please. You have to…”
(Yutaro asked what happened between them when Takeru patted his shoulder. “It’s something very personal that they must cherish before they separate,” the gunslinger boy spoke in philosophical manner.
“You are…?”
The boy grinned. “Takeru, but people call me Silent Bullet.”
“Silent Bullet…” Inexplicably Yutaro gave the boy a very tight hug. “How cool! Silent Bullet? What kind of people are you, I don’t care, but you are simply so cool!”
“Let me go!” Takeru screamed.)
Hikki stopped laughing. “Guess it can’t be helped, can it? Oh, well.”
Freya took a step forward. She was hesitant at first, before she bent forward and placed her lips upon his mouth. It was quick, soft, farewell kiss that startle not only Hikki but also Yutaro and everyone else.
The kiss broke off. Freya was blushing as she smiled into his eyes. “Don’t forget it, okay?” She said nothing afterwards and returned to the group, apologizing to Yutaro who was distressed by her bold action. Hikki and Alexandra bade farewell and watched as they walked down the road, and disappeared from sight.
“There goes my summer memory,” the Gale Whistler spoke.
“I’m sure you really enjoyed the vacation, didn’t you?” Alexandra asked.
He nodded. “Well, then, let’s get back to work. I’m pumped up already,” he said and lifted his arm only to yelp in pain. Alexandra laughed at his silly attempt to act cool and brought the arm down to its former position.
“Say, Alex.”
“Yes, Hikki?”
He threw his sight to the evening sky. “How about next year? I’ll take you and the Wind Talkers along.”
The Britannian girl giggled. “I’ll look forward to seeing the day.”

Ah, this is refreshing! It carries a certain amount of sad atmosphere in the first half and then fun for the second half. Nice!

Name: Sipher
Age: Unknown
Height: 31cm
Gender: Male
Hair Color: Blood red with strains of black
Eye Color: Red
Physical Description: With the exception of his eye and hair color, he has an uncanny similarity to Erio Mondial.
Device: Tome of Blood Dawn
Mage Rank: A, AA (10%), AAA (30%), S (50%), SS (70%), SSS (90%)
Magic Color: Crimson
Prefered Element: None
Magic Style: Ancient Velka
Fighting Style: Heavy mid-range support, Large to huge scale bombardment, Tactical Command.
Barrier Jacket: Similar to all Destroyers, except the linings along the edges are crimson instead of silver, and the sleeves and cloak are longer... Not suited for melee combat.
Introduction:
The only male Unison Device in existence. In addition to being the ' voice' of the Sinclairions, Sipher also acts as the Administrator General of the Destroyers, Monitoring their every progress as well as briefing their mission and assisting them if necessary.
It was rumored that it was through him that Loki was able to come up with the designs for the Stain program within all Destroyers. This rumor was further reinforced during the countless times he was able to directly manipulate most of the lesser evolved symbiotic program.
Every Destroyer ever created knows and fears, or in the case of the other generals - respects him for his power and ruthlessness. Working with him is a double-edge sword, Victory is almost certain, but you will be in five times more danger than when you do it on your own.
Personality
Ever for the Destroyers, his personalities are practically intolerable. He is,
- BEYOND Haughty
- BEYOND Perverted (only applies to female Unison devices)
- BEYOND Trigger-happy
- BEYOND Inconsiderate
- BEYOND Incorrigible
But most frowned upon them all, Sipher is the only one among them all, that has no problem leaving a comrade to die, or in some cases, killing them himself if he deems necessary.
Special Ability: Blood Pact
Special Ability: Corrupt Unison
Spoiler:
Sipher can unison with anyone who has the Stain program within them, be it Destroyer or Cataphract.
However, none of them are his 'destined' meister, which means they cannot control the process, causing all of them to change their form into this -
In this form, the Destroyer is practically a ticking time bomb, while all of his powers, ability and skills increases to insane amounts, Sipher is slowly eating away at their life, mind, and soul. For those who do break free in time, they are left traumatized for a week... Maybe more.
The most recent case is Cero, who lost his original right arm in his Unison mode in a savage fight against an ancient monster that the Sinclairion sealed away... Cthulhu. It was replaced by a blood-red arm which had to be sealed unless in combat.
This ability is only used in the most extreme of extreme FUBAR situations, the do-or-die ones. In most cases, it's the host that is in control of the body, but Sipher has provide capable of taking over if he wants to.
Another reason why Destroyers don't like working with him.
Other Information:
- Though owned by Loki, he was originally created by Odin.
- Can use all 10 dimensional-distortion spells
- Has 2 S+ ranked Knights as protection, but intending to make more...
- Likes to use quotes as the names for his own spells. Example;
- Can 'copy' other spells, though rarely uses them other than to mock the opponents.
- Had a secret relationship with the original Reinforce, and was suspected to have been involved with her corruption... But details are unknown and nobody's talking.

Oh dear, last male for the Unison-type! He's endangered! *puts a conservation sign*
But, all his abilities make him more than able to survive on his own. Very powerful, too. Would love to see him in action.

Growing up on Earth until the age of 10 where he walked into a dimensional portal that was created by the Project F explosion Shakal was working on and he somehow ended up in Mid-Childa. He wandered around the streets for a few years before he managed to join the Time-space Administration Bureau Battlion 390 where he got to learn ranged abilities.

Oh yeah is the new way of typing clearer? As in putting a title and stuff cause i personally like it myself |
Simple and nice! But, doesn't he need any support spell? Seems a lot like a Center Guard shooter type.
If you want to type clearer, you might want to fool around learning the simpler BBcode tags available first , since copying and pasting doesn't include the tags for you. They're quite easy, actually. Then, you may want to do it in Notepad directly (together with the tags) and then copying the whole thing here.
At least, that's what I did.

Actually, affiliation is confusing for me. Since Intel Dept is under TSAB, so, doesn't that make the affiliation to be "TSAB", which should be the Headquarters in the Dimensional Space? Maybe I should be more specific and write down that she works for the Navy's Intel Dept? 
And, what's kinsoku jikou desu? My Japanese is only elementary.

UPDATE TIME! Zest vs Isdera Part I.
Spoiler for Side Isdera AFTER Part I-2 : Two Old Knights:
~Side Isdera AFTER I Verse 4 : Futari no Furui Kishi~
Agito’s body levitating moved, in the direction where Zest suddenly ran off to earlier, just as she and him both sensed Lutecia’s presence, and Garyuu’s... She was in trouble. Biting her nails, Agito flew as fast as she could, despite being not as rough and fast as Zest’s extreme burst of speed...
She was extremely worried. If it was any other time, worrying about Danna wouldn’t be so troublesome, but it was only a day ever since his fight with that red knight, Vita. Even though he’s recovered slightly after some sleep and her medicine, he was only at 80%... at best.
As she saw Lutecia tending to Garyuu, she fastened her pace, just as the winds around her roughened, as she looked at the direction Lutecia was staring her worrying eyes into...
Trees being torn apart, a small crater within the center of the bewildering forest of greens in the night, as a small tornado formed itself in the center of that crater, within that small gust of dissipating golden tornado of raw magic by Zest and genuine formed gale of gust by Isdera’s magic...
Even with the deafening sounds of winds playing the the leaves shooting upwards with the spiraling night gale, a sound dwarves that, as Agito saw Zest’s spear and the other knight’s sword smashing against one another...
Isdera felt a pressuring power pushing his sword downwards from the larger, more overwhelming knight in front of him, as holding the sheathe of his sword, he drew it from his side as he slammed the spear sideways...
Stepping his left leg forward, Isdera took that moment, as he held his sword strongly as he leaped forwards, like a fierce tiger towards his prey with an overhead slash...
“Danna!”
Agito’s worrying voice reached, but there was no response... there was no need to, as holding his spear sideways, that slash was parried by the center of the spear’s rod as Zest held on... Isdera’s blade and weight pressed down on him, a gust of wind in both directions fleeting Isdera and Zest... as his legs sunk deeper into the ground, as his grip weakened, feeling his body’s weakened response... His body’s strength was weakening with each second, and in comparison to the young knight in front of him...
All he could do is rely on his experience as a Striker.
As he felt his spear slowly being overwhelmed by the pressure, he quickly let go of his gauntlet arm to hit the sword sideways, as Isdera’s strength was pushed back by the sideway attack from his fist, as the both of them leaped back for their distance...
They looked at each one’s eyes... neither moved for a moment, knowing that it was a decisive moment...
As the tornado continued blowing, creating a ring with them as the center, an unsuspecting leaf flew into the circle from the walls of the typhoon...
It was less than a second. The leaf blocked their eye-contact, but they felt the glint of each other’s eyes behind that wall of green, as the sounds of their weapons was enough proof.
[Explosion.]
A simultaneous sound of loading cartridges, the sound of steam being released in the air, and the clink of metal falling to the ground...
That was the signal.
Rushing forward, each step’s a sound to a closer resonance, a battle’s sonata playing as it started with a thrust, the edges of their blades hitting each other, the sharp peak slamming into one another, the screeching sound of metal grinding one another in molecular levels enhanced, as they put all their strength into it...
Like an repulse of energy, the blades was simultaneously pushed back together, an equal test of power. They slammed their blades again, and soon, that test of strength became a dance of blades.
It was a unorthodox dance of swords. Heavy bladed weapons of Belka, one a double handed sword and another, a heavy polearm spear... were hitting each other with high speed thrust, the masters of those weapons making those weapons look like a parry of rapiers hitting one another at an inhuman speed.
Twirling gust of wind. The old, and the ancient, spear and sword at hand, the knight's bullet fires rapidly.
Each strike closes in to break, with no thought of stopping, each blow fast and precise. Exchange of thrust so fast afterimages felt blurred. The attacks continued for both, raging. That rage is only a repitition, each strike sharp, lacking in power, but not of precision and speed.
Agito's eyes felt tired... 30 times? 50? 100? She couldn't tell... No, I doubt anyone could. It was like trying to count rains with human eyes, as the heavy rains of sword and spear pours, like a waterfall. No... like a vacuum of blades of steel. Like a thrust of light, flying lights of weapons.
"Swish. Clang. Kling. Klang. Clang!"
Steels clanging against one another, clashes like an orchestra, sparks expanding, but without any sense of heat as their battle, was vacuum-like. Amidst an tornado of magic, their exchange only served to increase that rotation, as their battle sucked in the air of surroundings.
It was like a wall telling "come in, and die in pieces."
Over a hundred blows, over and over... yet each time was the same as the last. There was no victor, no loser... just lights of an equal battle, like fireworks...It was...mesmerizing.
Agito and Lutecia could only watch, as the shadows of the 2 knights were enveloped inside that whirlwind of power, a representative of their overwhelming pressure... Agito felt a shiver as she felt a striking sense of nostalgia...
“Where...had I...seen this...before?”
Slowly, she felt the pressure of their surroundings lessened, as the air shrouding them became less and less concentrated, as the gust of wind became centralized on the dual knights.
Everything was coming about. The end of the dance of the blades as the winds of magic played its tune of climax...
A last strike of blades. That was the end just the winds holding their invisible ring was at its limits...
Their bodies unmoved, Isdera’s sword shifted to his left, Zest’s spear to the right, their muscles tensed, as they ended their charade of lancing exchange, as every power drew into this strike... their grips tightened as their eyes focused.
And once again, a sound of loading cartridges.
Which swing of the blade was first, what happened, how it started, Lutecia and Agito didn’t know. All they could see was their cage of gale breaking apart and a flash of light blinding, as they were shot by gust of winds slamming their skin, but holding their position... they waited...as the winds cleared...
Both were standing, but their breathing ragged, clearly exhausted as Isdera stood with his blade held to the ground just as Zest too... held his spear as its weight on the ground supported the old knight. The end of the dance was a draw again...
“COUGH! COUGH!! COUGH!!!”
Red. A puddle of red as one knee dropped to the ground, the other still afoot...
Zest was coughing blood once again, as his body took its toll.
“Danna!”
Agito’s cries of anxiety, worry... as the two knights started at one another... Isdera’s sword was unmoved, but Zest’s eyes did not lose its determination, as Isdera felt a burning passion that did not dwindle within that knight.
Agito, enraged, shot a barrage of fireballs off to Isdera.
“I won’t allow you to harm Danna further!!!”
Lutecia followed suit.
“Inzects.”
Once again, the attacks were futile, as the blades slashed the Inzects and the fireballs apart, dissipating their flames...
“I’ve once faced a knight with a flame akin to yours, Ancient Unison Device... but one more powerful and vivid. Your fire is strong as well, but it is not one which is meant to destroy, but one to support a stronger flame. A flame of a Lord.”
Agito was angered, taking his advice as mockery but she ignored that, as taking advantage of his unresponsive situation, went to tend to Zest, who was already standing up, holding his spear once again, ready to continue his battle.
“Danna, let me help-“
“No, Agito... stand back with Lutecia. I’m sorry, but you won’t be much of a help against him...”
“If that’s the case, then Unison should-“
“That is not good as well... With my body’s current condition, I won’t be able to use your flames effectively. Besides, if we unison now...the next time, I probably cannot...”
“Danna...”
Agito’s concern... to be concerned..that was the only thing she could do.
“Come, Ancient Belkan Knight.” Once again, the knights readied their blades, their battle far from over. Isdera sheathed his sword once again, as he accepted Zest’s nod of the battle, his legs pressing their weights on the ground, ready to draw and attack...
“Belka-Mikami-Ryuu.”
His grip reaffirmed his place on his blade, a single cartridge shooting into the air.
“Yamato! Orochi! ISSEN!”
His blade drawn, a gust of wind shot out from his sheathe of the sword, as small spirals of tornadoes shot itself out in gales of eight, from all fronts, as the eight lashed out towards Zest, like a snake of 8 striking to their prey.
Was it the end of the battle?
~Zest~
Strange... before my eyes, I can see shadows of snakes, trying to destroy me, consume me... The winds hitting my body, I feel the pain rushing through the veins... I suppose it's proof that I am still alive.
I am not afraid of death. I have many regrets in my life, many things I couldn't protect, but in the end, I am but a dead man living on borrowed time, a life that is holding on to the small flame of a dying candle.
However, even for someone like me, I still something I must do. I still have people I must protect their future!
Lutecia... Alphino's daughter.
Alphino. You'll probably hate me... Not only was I a failure as your captain, leading to your death, making your daughter alone... My stupidity dragged your innocent daughter into this mess... There is nothing I can say or do to atone for my past, but all I can do now... is to protect her. Until she can smile, until there are wings that are willing to shelter her loneliness... I must continue this struggle.
Agito...
Countless times I had asked myself... Was it a mistake? Was I wrong to listen to Lutecia's request to take her along? If only she was left there... could she had been picked up by the TSAB? Having a good knight as a Lord, living peacefully and happily, not this ragged life we're struggling through? Or would she be just another victim elsewhere? I don't know... it's impossible to tell.
However, to have many regrets does not mean to live my life pursuing those regrets to my end.
That is why I cannot die. Not yet! Not until I've finished what I should, and end my life not as Failed Relic Weapon Zest... but as Zest Gruntgieze.
WATASHI JISHIN NO SEIGI NO TSURUGI NARI!
Dakara...
[Glänzend Freilassung.] [Full Drive Start.]
"DANNA!!!!!"
This will probably be my last Full Drive.
"Ikuzo...tomo."
[Verstanden.][Understood.]
Part III will be the end of the befriending fight, and Part IV will be... it's resolution so to speak. |
