I may not have been a big Macross fan that time, but guess you can say the idea of a man who can control a mech with his guitar was too cool to pass up on...

Wonder why Rhythm Edge was a guitar?

*runs*

...

So that means... With my introduction of Nanoverse Valkyries...

*imagines TSAB digging up a VF-1 meant to be linked to Rhythm Edge*

Keikakudoori...?

Except that... the shy-moe types tend to be thrown in your face a hellalot more. >_< not to mention the fans keep badgering for more even if they add nothing to the story arc *cough*Nodoka*cough*



And there we come to the core: It's all subject to personal opinion. Shy-moes are definetely in the 'too much' area for me. They make me want to grab the manga and yell 'Grow a frikin spine!' while shaking it. I think its because I'm surrounded by girls who basically defy the shy-girl type.

Yes the line is very subjective.

Which reminds me, what kind of moe is Sakura Mato? Shy Moe? Gentle Moe? Psycho Moe AKA Dark Sakura...?

I have to admit, the fight against Jail made me like her a bit more. Mainly because it showed her getting outright pissed.

I prefer to call that Righteous Fury.

I wished that scene was done better though. I got Precia vibes from it because it seemed a little out of place compared to Fate's normal demeanor.

Wait that WAS the point, wasn't it?

At least I'll cover a bit more on Fate's side in Rebuilt, as to why she's so annoyed with the Doctor.

As for Nanoha... I'm putting the White Devil mode that was removed from the DVD release back.

Well, at least Fate got pissed before. Nanoha..didn't even flinch when shooting at Quattro for touching Vivio. This is going to make attempts at drawing her angry alot more difficult in the future.

My conclusion upon watching that: Put nicely, she's like all of those heroes who believe the opponent may be remotely good. I had a more cynical first thought, but it's probably from why Nanoha doesn't really appeal to me while Hayate and Fate are fighting for top spot (hence creating the love Triangular in Cente Gravia)...

While the exact nature of the changes to StrikerS is still very much up in the air, I'm considering switching things up so Alex is the one to take down either Jail or Quattro while in the throes of this calm fury, during which he nails them to the wall with projected pseudomatter swords and in a calm-yet-psychotic voice, tells them exactly where and how they screwed up and how he's going to enjoy dragging out the last few minutes of their lives in retribution for the pain and suffering they've caused everyone, especially Vivio and Hayate.

Go after Jail, and you'd interrupt not only Fate's battle, but Kha's as well...

But it's your timeline, go on ahead.

Spoiler for Super WHAT?!:

"Gaaah!"

"Nanoha!" Fate screamed as her friend got knocked into a nearby building. The debris and dust cloud from the impact obscured her view, preventing her from seeing how she was.

"Ug...I-I'm alright," manged the brunette as she pulled her way out of the pile of rubble in the building. Her once white Barrier Jacket was torn in several places and covered in dirt but she showed no signs of major injuries.

Breathing a sign of relief, Fate turned back to the perpetrator. They had been deployed to this world to investigate unusual energy readings that had appeared all over the planet. Its sudden appearance suggested that it wasn't native to this world, leading to the possibility that it was caused by a Lost Logia. The three of them arrived safely on the planet and it seemed peaceful with close similarities to Earth. That was when they detected a high concentration of the unusual energy. They thought they would be prepared for any threat that they would encounter based on the technology levels as well as inter-dimensional smugglers and pirates.

Grahhhh!

Her quick reflexes saved her from being at the wrong end of that energy beam. The source of the attack was huge. It appeared to be some kind of mechanical construct with two simple, yet dragon looking heads. Perhaps it was based off of the mythical hydra? Whatever it was, it had to be almost 20 meters tall with its bulky appearance. Besides its two heads, it only had a pair of legs to move and a tail. The mecha fired again, aiming its energy attack from each head at separate targets. Fate and Hayate quickly dodged the attacks and counterattacked with their own spells.

Photon Lancer.

"Mistilteinn!"

Their attacks connected with the slow moving mechanoid, causing it to explode in a large explosion. The trio wasted no take to gather and assess the sudden change in their situation.

"What do you think that thing was?"

"I don't know, Hayate-chan. Do you think it was after that energy concentration we detected?"

Fate glanced down at the burning remains, "Maybe. But the question is where did it come from? It doesn't seem like this world could construct such a complex mechanoid. Think it could be inter-dimensional terrorists?"

Before any of them could ponder the situation any more tje ground around them began to rumble.

"Wh-what's going on?" questions Hayate as she quickly looks around for signs of hostiles.

Movement to the east caught her attention. Something was coming straight at their location. The large dust cloud showed it was either something huge or a large group. Her second guess was right. At least three dozen large creatures came into view. Each easily the same height as the one they just took down. No two were alike. Some were humanoid in shape holding various scaled-up melee weapons. Others looked partially organic with animal-like attributes with two or three looking like they could fly with their wing-arms.

Nanoha brought up Raising Heart, "This doesn't look good." Both her friends nodded in agreement and prepared for the oncoming attack as the creatures stormed forward. "Here they co-"

"Thunder...BREAK!!"

A large bolt of lightning slams into the closest mechanoid, instantly destroying it. The three mages quickly scan for the source of that attack. That was when they saw three craft in the air diving straight at the enemy lines.

"Change! Getter ONE!"

The three craft lined up, the red one in front followed by the white and then yellow one. Then they seemed to almost morph their appearance. They flew into one another and then arms and legs were clearly visible as well as a head. A bright red cape unfurled from its back. Where the three craft were now stood a large, tri-colored mechanoid.

"Getter TOMAHAWK!"

It pulled a handle out of its shoulder and a large blade almost seemed to grow out of it. Hefting the weapon back, it flew straight into the other mechanoids and cleaved one in two. In the air the three mages stared with mouthes wide open.

"What..." began Nanoha.

"is..." stepped in Fate.

"going on?" finished Hayate.

Master! Unknown approaches from the rear.

They whipped around thinking it was another wave of the hostile creatures only to see two objects in the air flying towards them. The first looked almost like the second humanoid that arrived except bigger and with larger shoulders. Not to mention the massive scythe it was holding looked very ominous. Next to it was an almost pure black one. It looked larger than the other one, with a set of large, red wings on its back as it flew. The duo flew right over their heads towards the battle below.

"Turbo Smasher PUNCH!"

The large black one raised its arms and literally fired them at the enemies. The duel fists easily tore through several before landing back on the black mechanoid's arms. More explosions erupted across the enemy's lines as the second tri-colored one used it's scythe to cleave the limbs off its opponents before thrusting it's chest out.

"Getter BEAM!"

A red beam shot out from its waist and carved across the terrain. Any of the opposing mechanoids that got caught in its path exploded, showering the field with their smoldering remains.

It was then they noticed that the large black one was gone. Up above the battle they saw it along with a smaller black and white one. This one looked almost like a simpler version, maybe an older version.

"Breast BURN!"

"Fire BLASTER!"

The red fins on both their chests lit up and fired a beam of extreme heat across the remaining combatants. Several tried to scramble away, but to no avail as they literally melted on the spot and exploded. As the smoke cleared, a single humanoid shaped one took off in the direction it had come from.

"Koushiryoku BEAM!"

A yellow beam shot out of the large black one's eyes and punctured two holes through the escapee. Like the ones before it, it exploded from the damage. The three Bureau mages remained hovering in place as the victors slowly walked over to their location. All eyes looked up at their towering forms.

"So much for this being an easy mission," mumbles Nanoha.

*RUNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*

I get the feeling that Hayate dearly wanted to leverage RF6 into something more permanent but she'd used up all her political capital for setting up and RF6's results didn't quite justify things.

It's like Mobility Six, the SEAL counterterrorist team setup in the early 80s, who pretty mych were a temporary taskforce, though in their case when Mob Six was disbanded it was replaced with SEAL Team Six, the larger bigger more dedicated counterterrorist SEAL team.

That said, in real life task forces get disbanded all the time. Take a look at Task Force 121, or Task Force 145.

And also... quite frankly I doubt Hayate and Carim had enough clout to keep the Aces massed in one area for long.

Basically? Comes down to politics. The RF6 idea was a good concept, but it cost too much political capital to setup and maintain, and the results didn't really justify keeping it open and running. And also, remember that Carim was Hayate's main backer and she supported RF6's formation to deal with the threat in the prophecy; once said threat in prophecy is gone all indications are that Carim wanted to go back to the status quo.

I intend to change this in a project tentatively called Task Force Six, which will involve RF6 with small dets of SPOCC personnel... like 1 squad of the Assault Platoon, one of the flights (either Sword or Lance), and some members of SOPCC. Oh and Warthogs. Even if they're unarmed. Can't fight hogs.

Yes, we're getting Felix/Vita. No chief or Johnson though. They're a bit too badass to blend in. :P

As I was reading down the list, I felt that there was a possibility of a bigger force being created from the ashes of Riot 6, and viola you proposed TF6. While I don't know what the structure would be like, but would you mind me referencing it in the future lolis' profiles?

It's because when I first wrote their profiles, they were attached to Riot 6, which was disbanded. Having Task 6 as the mother organization of the FRONT will be more canonical, but permission will lie with you.


@Tk: Points taken. I did say I wanted to unshaft everyone, and politicians, bias and would be one of them.

But there's one interesting point. How come there was no rival force to Riot 6 in canon? These were attacks mounted on Midchilda soil, shouldn't the FBI equivalent be responding more, and not some crack squad that can only handle 1 incident at a time hogging all the action? Can this be explained in canon, or will this be a point I need to fix in Rebuilt?
