Spoiler for Part 4: First Requiem:

~ Part IV: A Song of Ice and Fire, A Requiem of Chaos and Wind~


I didn’t really know what came over me. Was it her voice, her presence, or her accompanying guardian beast…I don’t know. Words just didn’t come out from my mouth, despite the question she asked out of me. Standing up from my position, I gazed at her for a while and reaffirming myself as I was about to answer her question…

All of a sudden, before I could even mutter out anything…she just walked closer to me as she held my face with her hands, and gently turned my head sideways.

“I’m sorry, but I am not too used with people gazing at me like that. If you don’t mind, you may continue what you were doing earlier.”

Hearing that, I turned around to how it was, my back to her, as I continued looking at my parent’s tomb.

“About your question earlier…yes, they’re my family. My father and mother rest here, under these grounds. It has been 4 years since their death.”

“…Due…to the war?”

War. The most natural thought of assumption.

“No, they were just regular people. Neither mages nor knights, my parents were just everyday people, trying to make a living in troubled times. My father died of sickness, and mother wasn’t healthy to begin with.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. It’s just how life is.”

Even though I say that… war is indeed something saddening. War may not have been the reason, but it would be a lie to say it wasn’t a factor. This war has torn people’s lives apart. Everyone, has their own weight to carry in this war…I sometimes wish mine wouldn’t be so heavy.

I stood up, and turned sideways, with a slight glance at her. She seems to have lightened up, but I kept my balance… I didn’t want to offend her again. She looks at me with sadness, reflected in her eyes.

Strangely…I could feel that it wasn’t pity. Far from it. It felt like…anger, and sadness towards herself.

What an interesting woman.

“I don’t think we’ve been introduced, have we? My name is Saga.”

She looked mildly perplexed as she realized what I said, and bowed lightly… Had she not been wearing torn-down rags, she could’ve been mistaken for a female of noble birth. It wasn’t wholly refined, but there was a semblance of elegance to her gestures and movement.

“That was rude of me, not introducing myself earlier. This little wolf here is Zafira, and I am…”

*Zafira, don’t speak in front of him, got it?*

*Understood, princess.*

“Tiara…just Tiara.”

“Saga.”

“Tiara.”

~~~

The forest was burning. Trees up in flames, scorched down by blaze and fury. It was a scene out of the inferno of hellfire, life being burned away, without a trace of existence.

If one were to ask me what I thought of it…Magnificient.

The edges of our swords clashed. A ripple of a motion, the blade circled as both of us, engulfed in this battle, brought it closer and closer to a climax.

There she was, at what she truly is. A representation of a true sword knight…elegant, powerful, calm as the bristle of the air and yet burns with the passion of a warrior.

The sound of flames in the air, the scent of repulsive smoke, the sense of burning wood… and the silence of blades. Both of us, swords sheathed moved our distance…closer…and closer…

“Laevatein!”

“Zulfiqar!”

[Explosion!]

Once again, a simultaneous lock, as cartridges load, and accompanying…the flicker of 2 swords, as they clashed with all their power held on.

An aftershock and a stalemate. Our skills were almost a match, our swordsmanship though not completely similar, is like a counterpart. One with reliance of sharpness and lucid simplicity that shines like a burning flame, and another like the wind, non-static, but lacks a force of oppression.

If only I had armor…

My breathing was ragged. In replacement of Knight Armor, I used wind to create a breeze on my surroundings to prevent the heat and smoke, but its effects is only that much. My skins are suffering from degrees of burn, smoke is torturing my lungs, and my body is battered from the continuous fighting. It was the same for both sides, but it was obvious who had the upper hand.

Damn it. Damn it.

My reactions were weakening as Signum evaded my sword. At this rate, I’ll…

Damn IT.

All of a sudden, I felt a strange rush…it was the same feeling as the first time I was experimented. The bottled up feelings…the hate, the anger… And there it was…like a claw being born out of my sword, it reached out to Signum…and gashed her shoulder to a pool of blood.

~~~

Following my meeting with Tiara…I showed her around. A simple walk around town, to see the sights. Things were simple, and down-to-earth. Uneventful, nor did it not need to be…until I felt it…a strong resonance of fluctuating magical energy.

“This is…”

“Is anything wrong, Saga?”

“No…I’m fine.” This feeling…there’s no mistake. It’s Isdera…and Signum.

*Can you feel it, princess?*

*Yes…it’s Signum.*

“Tiara…I’ve got to go. Meeting you..was a blessing to me. Thank you. Goodb-“

She put her fingers on my lips. It was a strangely refreshing touch…wait, what the hell am I thinking?

“Will we…meet each other again, Saga?”

“…If fate determines we should, then we will.”

“Until then, Saga.”

I did not answer. I ran as fast as I could, away from sight, as I armored myself in my unconventional full-body armoring and flying high to the sky, I saw it…a small hill, kilometers away from the village…was up in flames, the entire place a burning nightmare as no smoke rose up…just a complete embodiment of black smoke and red flames.

I’ve got to stop this madness…but a passive spell to cover the entire hill radius. That’s one tough feat.

I still have to try.

~~~

Signum. Don’t die on me.

Enforcing my magical circle, my desert hood and robe rematerialized into a more profound hooded cloak that hides my presence, spawning a magical wing of energy, I teleported near the hill from which Signum’s presence is felt…and there she was. Herself, with another man…amidst a burning hill.

Expand...circle.

My magical circle, white expanded, as I recited.

~~~

“Looks like this is the final closure, Signum.”

The both of us were at our limits. My Myst sword attacked injured her seriously with a badly wounded shoulder, now still losing buckets of blood, while I have probably less than several minutes, with the severe burns and smoke in my lungs.

With a last load of cartridge, we both decided to put everything to a final strike. There was no enmity…just we, and our swords.

A last charge. A final blow. A final flash of light…

In that split-second, a barrage of staff-blades shot down from the sky, each one absorbing remnants of the flames and smoke burning the forest.

This is…General Saga’s Drei.

In another instance, a breeze flew over…as the entire forest…or rather, just the fires that were burning the forest were frozen instantly. An ice that freezes even fire…who the hell?

Saga came down and lent me his shoulder…as he looked up to the sky.

There it was…a robed figure shrouded in complete darkness, along with a muscular guardian beast in it’s human form carrying Signum and in contrast to the figure of darkness…under her was a white magical circle.

Only one person in the entire nation has a white magical circle…the Princess of the Night Sky.

“That is the Princess of the Night..Sky.”

“Saladin…”

She teleported away soon. Removing his mask, Saga asked if I was alright.

It was the first true meeting between 2 of the nation’s greatest knights…I didn’t know until much later it was actually the 2nd meeting. A painful twist of fate.

And my battle with Signum...the battle that destroyed the hill of Generia became legendary. I was given the nickname Silver Wind...just as Signum was hailed Blazing Flame General.

It's painful.

The next few parts or 2 will have multiple time-skips. So all I ask is...improvise in-between with your imaginations. Romeo and Juliet got married within a day, remember? :3

Ok we got it. I wonder how much magic that battle consumed, setting a whole hill on fire. I suppose the next time we read the OP would be "Hero's Come Back" because of the time skip?

No problem. Your profile style was what got me to write as a response after all.

Interesting take on the linker Cores though, and thus renders the previous superstition null and void

By the looks of 10 and 11, the Ion Canon appears to have been engaged by Director Ivory. Whether or not it'll hit any of the liquid Bluecheesium deposits here is what I'm waiting for. As for Lowe's Scrin Modership...

Erio: Just curious though: how much does the Church pay you?
Kha: 850 credits a month. It's pegged to my rank.
Erio: Uso! I'm a Private, but I just got 950!
Kha:
Erio: I see why the 21st grind missions so much now...
Kha: Well... Um... You see there's more to life than monetary rewards. I derive great pride and meaning from what I do, in protecting the ones I love and helping to build the Church. Pride, honor, peace of mind, and hope - things no one can take from you!
Erio: I understand now! This has been a lesson learnt well!
Kha: :nods:

In Kha's mind...

Fate: Kha I'm rather busy today so do you mind taking Erio out to lunch first? I'll catch up once I'm done with this report... Oh yes, Erio been looking for the latest book of Parry Hotters, and I heard Caro's after some new stationary. Do you mind getting those as well?
Kha: Well um...
Fate: (bambi-eyes taught by Hayate) Please...?
Kha: Of course it's okay! What do you think I was going to say? (What do you think I could've said... ^^

Kha: But raising kids proves that Man can't live on Hope alone... Good thing I'm also part of the TSAB. Basic's just as low, but at least the hazard allowance is generous.

Quote for truth... Dragon-riding Caro made Kha's [Flying Mount] canon too.

And, to a smaller extent, Erio's basically Kha when he was a shouta himself, with similarities in hairstyle, behavor, device and barrier jacket (shorts instead of jeans)...

--------------------------------------------------

And here are additional abilities for Sniper Form...

• Schnee-Kugel: used specifically to damage Linker Core without actually physically damaging its host. It doesn’t leave visible trace and is very difficult to track back; the usage of extra silencer makes the shooter difficult to spot, as well. Translated as “Snow Bullet”.

...and Panzer Faust.

• Silver Breaker: Takeru’s exclusive ability, it is one of the few abilities that can counteract jamming and binding spells. Consuming an entire magazine clip (five cartridges) and recycling residual magic, it is even stronger than Silberfalke but can only be used once with every deployment of Panzer Faust.

Urm... BFG? Ion Canon is taken after all.

And... I see the Breaker. AARON!!!

First, though, here's some useless fun facts.

Spoiler for My Character's Appearances!:

Here are some examples of how I envision my characters to look like.

Gwendolyn:



This is a character from Queen's Blade named Airi. To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no clue what Queen's Blade is... a game? ...a manga? What I do know is that I liked the character art, and specially this girl.
While I do not envision Gwendolyn to be dressed like this, I gotta admit a similar style (goth-loli maybe? ) would look very good on her. I also see Gwendolyn with her hair loose, with a ribbon at the end (like Fate-chan).
Oh, and the scythe. Hmm, for now just replace that scythe with a staff (just take out the scythe's blade ). After looking at these pictures again, though, I so want to make Leucosia's second or third form (if I do get that far) to be a Scythe. Of course, Meophist already beat us with his scythe loli.


Iris:



Blanc Niege, from Shining Tears. Probably you guys are familiar with her already.
Hmm, wow, she looks just like the Iris I see in my head, just with shorter hair (Iris' hair go down to the hips). Not much to add here. Oh, I didnt think of the headband, but what the heck, she looks really good like that, so I'll leave it now.


Natalia:



Natalia Luzu Kimlasca Lanvaldear, from Tales of the Abyss.
Now this one is a complete rip-off. What can I say? She's my favorite character in that game so it was a no-brainer for me to use her as one of my characters. That's exactly how she looks in my head, so you could say that's my Natalia's "official fanart".

If I find pictures that resemble Ashelyn and Rhea, I'll post them.

Spoiler for Episode 03 - Part 1:

Episode 03: The Inevitable Encounter – Part 1: Confidence


Ashelyn: Where are we going, Gwen-chan?
Gwendolyn: Oh! I forgot to tell you and Rhea. Sorry. I received information from Dr. Scaglietti about a Relic that was found inside a civilian house in sector 83.
Rhea: A civilian house?
Iris: The Relic was being smuggled, I guess.
Natalia: Can people be any more stupid?
Rhea: Well, this should be an easy mission.
Gwendolyn: The Bureau’s 6th Mobile Division has seized the Relic, so we’ll probably have some trouble.
Ashelyn: 6th Mobile Division… isn’t that—?
Natalia: Yeah, the one that specializes in Lost Logia cases… Ah~ I can’t wait to see who they are. I’m so excited!
Gwendolyn: *giggles* With our strength we shouldn’t have trouble dealing with them, but don’t get too confident.
Natalia: I know, I know… But, hey. Why are we running? Why can’t we just fly? We’ll get there quicker!
Iris: We don’t want to gain unnecessary attention.
Ashelyn: What, are you tired already, Lily? *teases*
Natalia: *looks at Ashelyn with killer eyes*
Ashelyn: Ahh~ Save me, Gwen-chan!

Rhea: Stop everyone!
Gwendolyn: Did you sense anything, Rhea?

Rhea kneels down and touches the ground with his left hand.

Rhea: I can feel several magical vibrations. There are five… no, six now. As long as they touch the ground, I can sense them.
Natalia: OK, Iris and I will distract them, while the rest of you retrieve the Relic. But wait for our signal.
Gwendolyn: Alright. Be sure to call me if something goe—
Iris: There’s no way we’ll lose to regular mages.
Natalia: Yeah. Let’s get this over with!
Gwendolyn: …
Ashelyn: What is it, Gwen-chan?
Gwendolyn: Oh, it’s nothing. Let’s wait until we see an opening.

The house was actually a big mansion five stories high. The TSAB’s 6th Mobile Division was guarding the mansion while waiting for reinforcements.

Subaru: Ah~ This is so boring.
Teana: Subaru! You will never become like Nanoha-san if you’re like that!
Subaru: But~ How longer do we have to wait?
Teana: If you’re so desperate you could try lifting that huge Relic yourself. I know that with your super-human strength you won’t have any problems.
Subaru: Don’t be so mean, Tea!

Vita: Where are the shrimps?
Nanoha: Erio and Caro are in the laboratory underground.
Vita: I see. I wish this Relic wasn’t so heavy. I want to go home already.
Nanoha: Ahaha~ Reinforcements should be arriving soon.
Vita: *!*
Nanoha: What is it, Vita-chan?

Approaching Nanoha and Vita were two individuals with brown cloaks and hoods that covered all their body and head.

Vita: Who are you?
Natalia: That’s not too important. But I do want to know, are you the 6th Mobile Division I keep hearing about?
Vita: How the hell did you know that?
Natalia: That’s very interesting. I didn’t expect you to be a bunch of girls.
Iris: … (Heh. Is Lily trying to provoke them?)
Vita: You—

Nanoha grabs Vita on the shoulder to stop her.

Nanoha: This area is restricted. What did you come here for?
Iris: We are just here to take that Relic.
Vita: What?!

Iris lifts her arm forward and with her command a huge gust of wind strike Nanoha and Vita blowing them away.

Nanoha: Ah~ … Vita-chan, are you OK?
Vita: What was that? She didn’t even summon a magic circle…!

Natalia: Well, I’ll leave these two to you. I will go pay those two over there a visit.

Iris looked at Subaru and Teana, who were guarding the entrance to the mansion.

Iris: Hey… could that be…?
Natalia: …

Subaru: What is going on?
Teana: Be careful, Subaru! I have a bad feeling about this.
Natalia: Hey, you there. *looks at Teana*
Teana: M-me? (A girl?)
Natalia: What is your name?
Teana: … Teana Lanster.
Natalia: …

Natalia takes off her hood, revealing her face.

Teana: *!*
Subaru: T-Tea… she… she looks just like you!
Teana: …!
Natalia: … I can’t believe I’m meeting my “sister” in a place like this.
Teana: S-Sister?! I… I don’t have a sister…!
Natalia: You don’t. … But I am a clone, so technically you are my sister.
Teana: … A… clone…?
Natalia: … To think that the “real me” is working for our enemy.
Teana: …
Natalia: Well, I didn’t come here only to tell you this. I came here to take the Relic. You two get out of here. I don’t want to hurt you.
Teana: …
Subaru: We cannot.
Natalia: …

Vita: Nanoha! You attack from the back; I’ve got the front!
Iris: Sorry, but I won’t let you do anything.

Iris: Wind Exile.

As Iris points at Nanoha and Vita, the air around them starts getting thicker and thicker. With Iris’ command, the air starts moving downward. Both Nanoha and Vita were pushed down to the ground.

Nanoha: W-What is this…? I cannot move…
Vita: That deformed magic circle… What the hell are you?
Iris: We are Relic users.
Nanoha: *!* Dr. Scaglietti…!
Iris: That’s correct. But we do not work for that bastard. We came here for our own reasons.
Nanoha: … Ugh…
Iris: So just stay there quietly. We don’t plan to hurt you.

Bardiche: Arc Saber.

Iris had to move out of the way to avoid the attack, and Nanoha and Vita were freed from Iris’ spell.

Nanoha: Fate-chan! Signum!
Fate: Nanoha, Vita. Are you OK?
Nanoha: Yeah… Be careful, everyone. She is a Relic user created by Dr. Scaglietti.
Fate: What? They were fused with a Relic? That’s insane…
Vita: Its payback time…
Nanoha: Wait, Vita-chan. You go help Subaru and Teana, please.
Fate: Signum, I’m counting on you too, please.
Signum: Understood.
Vita: Ah! But I wanted to fight this—
Signum: Vita, lets go.
Vita: … Damn. OK.
Nanoha: Ready, Fate-chan?
Fate: Of course.

Iris: Heh.

Spoiler for Episode 03 - Part 2:

Episode 03: The Inevitable Encounter – Part 2: Awakening


Teana: *pants pants* (She uses a gun-like device like me… what’s the meaning of this?)
Natalia: (Hmm. I like this gun. It’s much better than the last device I used. But still…)
Vita: Stand back, rookies, we’ll take care of her.
Signum: Leavantine!

Fate: This isn’t good…
Nanoha: I see. She manipulates the air around her to deviate our energy attacks.
Fate: Bardiche.
Bardiche: Cartridge Load. Haken Form.
Nanoha: Wait, it may be dangerous to get too close…

Iris evades Fate’s attack and pulls out her glaive. She channeled her energy to the blade and it started to glow blue. With a single slash, Iris was able to slice Bardiche’s staff in two.

Nanoha: Fate-chan!
Raising Heart: Divine Buster.

The attack was again ineffective. With Iris controlling the air around her, she can deviate the beam just enough for her to evade the attack without a scratch.

Nanoha: We need more power…!

That single moment of doubt was enough for Iris to pinpoint Nanoha’s location and trap Nanoha with her Wind Exile spell.

Iris: Don’t move. I can crush your friend with the air pressure.
Fate: Nanoha!!

Nanoha: H-Hayate…

Back in headquarters, Hayate just found out about the situation at area 83.

Hayate: Shari! Release their limiters immediately!
Shari: OK! Limiters for Nanoha-san, Fate-san, Signum-san, and Vita-chan have been released!
Hayate: Rein! We’re heading over there right now.
Reinforce: Yes, Hayate-chan!

Nanoha: Raising Heart!
Raising Heart: Flyer Fin EX.

This time Nanoha was able to escape the wind trap.

Iris: What the—
Nanoha: Now it is our turn.

And it was indeed their turn. Iris was overwhelmed by Fate’s speed and Nanoha’s much more powerful attacks.

Iris: (What’s going on?! They’re suddenly much more powerful than a minute ago! But that’s not it… These girls… They have much more combat experience than I do…!)

Back in the entrance of the mansion, Natalia started having trouble with Vita and Signum, as Vita and Signum too were much more experienced in battle than her.

Natalia: (Damn it! We’re being defeated…! With this stupid gun I cannot fight properly. It was a good idea, but…)

For some reason, Natalia’s Relic turns on and off every few seconds. At first, Natalia tried to predict when the Relic would “turn on”—that is, when the Relic would start emitting its energy—to cast spells, but it became extremely difficult, as the timing was completely random. Such method would only allow for the use of small, quick spells, too. The gun she is using helped her a bit, as it would absorb the energy emitted whenever the Relic was turned on and stored it for later use. However, a mere device could never hold the amount of energy her body was capable of handling.

Natalia: *pants pants* (If only I had control over my Relic… This is so frustrating. I cannot die here! … What’s with the turning on and off anyway… It’s as if… Wait a minute, could it be the Relic’s heart? Or maybe… its breath?)

Natalia started to match her breath with that of her Relic. Finally, her Relic reacted to her wishes. A bright red summoning magic circle was formed beneath her feet and her entire body became hot. Her right arm transformed into a dark skinned, heavy clawed monster-like arm and a pair of black wings grew from her back.

Natalia: *looking at her right arm* W-What the hell is this? Could this be the monster inside the Relic?

Her new arm and the wings looked like a dragon’s limbs.

Natalia: *laughs* No matter. I feel very good now... *licks her lips*

Spoiler for Episode 03 - Part 3:

Episode 03: The Inevitable Encounter – Part 3: Backfire


Gwendolyn: Ashelyn, Rhea, forget the Relic for now, stay here.
Ashelyn: OK… Is something wrong?
Gwendolyn: …
Rhea: Let us know if you need our help.
Gwendolyn: Thank you.

Teana: N-No way…
Vita: Is that a Relic’s true power?
Signum: This is getting out of hand. Vita, we need to finish her off quickly.
Vita: I know!

This time around, however, the two Belkan Knights could not handle the awakened monster. Natalia overpowered them in offence, defense, and speed. It’s as if she had been possessed.

Desperate, Signum launched her more powerful attack, Sturmfalken. Natalia, not aware of it, was almost hit by the attack but suddenly an extremely thick barrier was summoned between Natalia and Signum’s arrow.

Gwendolyn: Natalia! Are you OK? …W-What happened to you?
Natalia: Ah, Gwen-chan. I feel so good right now…
Gwendolyn: (Gwen-chan?) Natalia, you… … We’re retreating.
Natalia: You’ve got to be kidding me. We won the battle! Let’s finish them—
Gwendolyn: We’re retreating right now, Natalia.
Natalia: Ugh~!
Gwendolyn: Hey, what’s wrong?

Natalia let out a moan while she grabbed her right arm, which started contracting repeatedly. Each contraction caused an unimaginable amount of pain.

Natalia: A—ah~! G-Gwen… Help me…
Gwendolyn: Natalia!
Rhea: Gwendolyn-san!
Gwendolyn: Rhea! What are you doing here?
Rhea: I will take Natalia-san out of here; you go help Iris-san, please!
Gwendolyn: A-Alright… I’ll leave her to you.

Not far away from the mansion, Iris continued her battle against Nanoha and Fate.

Iris: *pants pants* I can’t believe this… I’m being beaten by regular mages…! If they would only stay still for three seconds, I could— …I know.

Iris extends the area of effect of her spell to the entire area around her.

Gwendolyn: Iris, don’t do anything reckless—!
Nanoha: Fate-chan, we have to get away from her!
Fate: Huh? O-OK!

This time, Iris didn’t just lose control over her powers. The Relic backfired and created a void around Iris with very strong winds surrounding it.

Iris: Ugh— I can’t… breathe…
Gwendolyn: IRIS!!
Ashelyn: Area of Frost.

Ashelyn’s spell causes the water cells in the air to shift, increasing in power and bending towards Earth. As a result, the temperature in the air started going down. The storm trapping Iris began to lose strength. Gwendolyn then immediately conjured a round barrier around her so she could penetrate the now weakened winds and get Iris out of the eye of the storm.

Iris: *coughs* Gwen… I messed up aga—
Gwendolyn: Don’t worry about it. Let’s get out of here.
Fate: Wait!
Gwendolyn: *stops in her tracks* …
Fate: I cannot let you go. You will have to come with—

Gwendolyn turned around to face Fate and Nanoha, eyes her eyes were filled with anger.

Gwendolyn: Iris, can you fly?
Iris: Yeah…
Gwendolyn: Ashelyn, take Iris with you and meet up with Natalia and Rhea.
Ashelyn: What about you, Gwen-chan?
Gwendolyn: I will meet you in a moment.
Iris: …
Ashelyn: OK…

Gwendolyn: Leucosia…
Leucosia: As you wish. Enchanter Fields: Magic Boost, Magic Control

With her hand facing forward, Gwendolyn started to accumulate an enormous amount of energy, into what looked to be a huge sphere of dark energy.

Nanoha: This is bad, we have to protect everyone!

Gwendolyn: Twilight Breaker!

Gwendolyn let loose one of her most powerful spells. It is a wide-area bombardment spell that shoots several beams of light in all directions, with each beam imbued with a barrier- and armor-breaking effect. The whole area was devastated by the attack. Not even the mansion was left standing. However, none of the members of the 6th Mobile Division were hurt, as Gwendolyn successfully controlled the spell.

Iris and Ashelyn, now reunited with Natalia and Rhea, await Gwendolyn’s return. Natalia’s right arm is now back to normal, and there are no signs of the wings. However, she looked extremely pale.

Iris: Rhea, Ashelyn, why don’t you both go get Gwen?
Rhea: But Gwendolyn-san told us to—
Iris: Please…
Rhea: … OK.

As Rhea and Ashelyn flew back to meet up with Gwendolyn, Iris walked near Natalia.

Iris: Are you OK?

Natalia leaned forward to hug Iris. As Natalia bit Iris’ clothes, she let out a huge moan of pain and started crying. Iris, shocked, could only hug her friend back, and started crying herself, as she could not do anything else to help her dear friend.

I have the feeling I overdid it with the battle... Too long, maybe. Well, you guys tell me. As I read through it all again before posting, I couldnt omit any parts, as there was so much I wanted to say in this episode.

Oh, and Keroko: no, I didnt try to rip Keroko off. I have other ideas for Natalia's powers.

Nope, that's not a D.Gray-man reference. I'd like to see how many people guess the correct reference. (+100 points to them! )

And, yes, this story has now entirely stepped into the fanfic domain, as this would obviously never happen in the anime.

I have a lot of ideas for Episode 04, and I would have loved to finish it tomorrow or the day after, however I will be resuming my vacations around Europe on Tuesday, so I will be gone for 3 weeks. Again I'll miss these boards. I'll probably be able to get on to check the boards every now and then, but only if the hotel has internet.

Anyway, if I get some time I will write the continuation of the story, and post Episode 04: "Rhadamanthys" (working title ) later this week.

Hope you like it, and, as always, any feedback is welcome!

Well well well! That is impressive!!! No I don't think that was overboard. The interactions here gave me the benchmark I need for the encounter I've planned. And for the record, the 21st >> the Necron Warriors because they were disorganized and nameless (thus my impression of them was cannon fodder class threats). These Relic girls are certainly going to be quite a challenge, possibly enough for Kha to use that form...

Spoiler for Meeting the Major is embarrassing or Tais/Genya interaction:

~Log Number #282 : Getting a set of restraints exchanged for another~
By Yui

I don't know if this boy is cursed or just plain unlucky. Today, Tais's jaw has recovered sufficiently enough to removed the restraints, allowing him to eat solid foods and talk again. Surprisingly, Major Genya Nakajima, Ginga's father, visited us.

*Start Audio file*

Tais: Ma.. Major Nakajima-sir!
Genya: At ease boy. Hmm.. seems like you're recovering fine. I heard that the doctors finally removed the restraints
Tais: Yes sir. Oh no, I wonder what is the major here for.. Am I going to be punished for scaring Ginga or maybe...
Genya: Relax, I'm here to apologize on Ginga's behalf since she is too embarrassed to come see you and apologize herself.
Tais: Oh.. I see. Yes! That means that I still have a chance with her! Thank you God!
Genya: ....

*Pause audio file*

I did want to intervene at this point before Tais said something he shouldn't. However it was already too late as he... well...

*Resume audio file*

Tais: ... ask the Major now for the permission to woo his daughter. What should I say... Major Nakajima, I like Ginga alot, do I have your blessings to woo her? I can promise you that I will take good care of Ginga and for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to have and to hold from this day forward, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. Or maybe...

*Pause audio file again*

...recite out loud a marriage vow. It was like watching a train wreak. You know something bad is happening but you can't do anything but watch. At any rate, Tais stopped as he realized that the medical ward was deadly silent and everyone was staring at him. That baka still did not realize what he has done and was looking around stupidly like the moron he is. Trying to regain some form of dignity from this extremely awkward situation, Major Nakajima stood up and hope Tais won't get too bored while recovering and told him that he will think about what Tias said. Although confused, Tais did something that really made me wonder if he is secretly a blonde.

*Resume audio file*

Tais: Huh? Oh Thank you for the concern Major, but I have been reading this and following the advice found inside to help pass the time.
Genya: "Common practices of Earth". Mind if I take a look? I wonder what practices do my ancestors have.
Tais: No problem sir.
Genya: ......
Genya: ......
Genya: ......
Tais: Errr... Sir, are you alright? You're turning into an unhealthy shade of purple.
Genya: ......
Tais: Sir?
Genya: ... You...

*End audio file*

The major simply lost it and starts strangling and shaking Tais's neck rather violently. It took the medical personnel a while to free Tais from Major Nakajima's clutches and at the end of it, Tais needed neck restraints since the major badly aggravated the injuries there plus a longer recovery period. I have gotten very curious now about the contents of the book that Tais borrowed as I have no idea what could have cause the major to lose his cool like that. Hopefully I can secure permission for construction of a solid holographic body soon. The suspense is killing me.
~End log~

@Erio: I love your stories, very nice. Wish i even have half your talent.

Sophia: BAKA BAKA BAKA!!! (Smack! Smack! Smack!) By S*******, I thought I'd never meet a more bigger social baka than Kha!
Kha: (looks at the heavily bandaged swirly-eyed serviceman with pity) But you didn't have to slap him with the Hayate Harisen Mk. 3...

Queen's Blade is kinda like a game-book btw. With hawt hawt girls per book.

Chronicles of Yuuno : Attachment #47

I've been a big fan of Scrya-sensei ever since the thesis presentation on the subject of historical restructuring on composition based on studied archeological context 3 years ago. A 16 year old scholar, already in a high position as TSAB's up-most database manager, and also a renowned academic in the field... I did some reseach, and found something strange. It goes like this...

Yuuno Scrya : Record of Mage Academy : Rank A of Mixed Category.

Yuuno Scrya : ( 9 years old ) : Official Mage Rank : A-Mixed

There's a bunch of classified information of when sensei was 9 for whatever reason...

*snip*

Yuuno Scrya : ( 19 years old ) : Official Mage Rank : A-Mixed

It's disheartening that sensei seemingly to have given up improving yourself, even if sensei is not an active mage. Why is that?

scrya_sensei replied :

Once upon a time, there was a young girl who wanted to pass an AAA-rank test against one short-for-his-age porn-binder oniichan so that she could meet her friend.

And another once upon a time, there was this extremely ambitious girl who wants to get promoted as soon as she can so that she can gather her clique of extremely overpowered friends together in the ultimate nepotism task force, so she took a ** rank test and passed.

The thing is...you don't need high mage ranks.

My scholarly contributions already give me multiple leeways on many things, and an A-rank is just for convinience's sake. No one asks James Bond why he didn't get himself a license to shoot rocket-launchers when he's already got a license to kill.

I'm already at the top of what I am, so why bother with unneccesary rankings?

Even if I make a name for myself as a mage, I don't think anyone would like to be called "Barrier of Barrie-"

Oops. Did I say that out loud?

Now to requote this evertime someone goes "Yuuno is useless!"

Oh no, I really fear for this tsukikomi (or was it boke? ) now, for the pink loli Velka Pentagram would drag in:

Alexandra the Great Saber (Annabelle)
Zest (Lutecia)
Fate Testarossa (Caro)
Erio der Lancer (Caro)
Kha der Kleriker (Allison)

And I really don't want the first demonstration of Kha's and Erio's 99-hit combo to be a "blue-on-blue" case.
