Okay, I ask of all of you suspension of disbelief when reading through my things. Some things may come across strange or awkward, but just try to rationalize something. I’ve trimmed down my materials for a better paced profile-fic, but in return, there’s loss of coherence at times.
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

Like hell you did. Yours is a highly powerful Lost Logia that bonded with a human. I highly doubt that the current limiter technology could really stop that effectively. But Serge in himself won't be safe.
@Nightengale: An extremely impressive fight. And I really liked how Tiara felt uncomfortable under a direct gaze. She does give an intelligent yet naive vibe that really suits her well.
And... Zafira was ordered to be quiet! Man, he's getting shafted even if it's for a reason.
Good job!
In any case, I've thought up of another profile extention, this one on Pain. I've actually thought up of three right off the bat, but I think it's best to post one at a time.
Spoiler for #47C7: Pain:
Subject: Requesting permission to modify #47C7 Pain's profile; also regarding Shamal
To: Lt. Colonel Yagami Hayate
From: Enforcer Maple
Date: 28/11/0072
I have managed to come into contact with a native of Ghast who happened to have moved away long ago. As the town itself has been completely destroyed, this information is unverifiable but I believe the information can be trusted.
The person in question talks about a local legend of the area, which talks about an ancient Belkan Knight who wields a large scythe. According to the legend, the Knight was very powerful and was unmatched among all other Knights at the time. The kingdom the Knight was a part of one day declared war upon another kingdom and used the Knight to lead the attack.
No matter the situation, however, the Knight refused to kill. Although the army won many battles, the King grew dissatisfied with the Knight. On the eve of a great battle, the King ordered the Knight to kill the enemy commander during the battle. The Knight refused, but during the battle the Knight's hand slipped and the scythe struck through the enemy commander's heart.
The King was overjoyed, but the Knight was distressed. A few days later, the Knight disappeared. It wasn't until after the King had won the war that the Knight was found. The King branded the Knight as a traitor and had him executed. After this event, the King was inflicted with a great pain from day to night until he became what was essentially a "living dead".
Apparently, the scythe that the Knight wielded was in a museum in Ghast, deactivated and behind a protective barrier, and was considered to be cursed. Its name, translated, can be either "Infinite Pain" or "Infinite Death". The person I talked to has seen it before, and from its description, I believe it's the same scythe that #47C7 Pain wields.
I am unsure of how Pain got in possession of the scythe, nor how she activated it. However, the pain that she mentions might originate from the scythe's "curse". As for now, I would like to request permission to update #47C7 Pain's profile with this information.
Additionally, I believe the best course for gaining more information about the two girls now is direct contact. For that, I would like the assistance of your Knight Shamal. From what I hear, she is well skilled in scanning magic and well versed in the teachings of ancient Belka magic. I believe in this time the two will be very helpful. If it is possible, I would like to hear from you soon. Thank you.
I just noticed it's June 3rd, my birthday. Ahh yes, "Maple" is the actual name of the character I created before, "M".
FIrst off, despite the fact that's it's June 4th where I'm in, Happy Birthday
Nice history on the scythe, and thus curse it's afflicted with. It's a bit convenient to have the Scythe suddenly "slip" like that, but hey battle fatigue does things to you And it is me, or did I think the King did deserve his slow and incredibly painful descent into madness? Despite the fact that it's just mostly superstition, it's still a good read.
Your description though makes it ripe for an unusual crossover with the Necron Arc, especially the "living dead" part and the Scythe (The Nightbringer? )

Spoiler for ...HUH!?!:
Two weeks have passed since the activation of the comet series. Zaphira had taken on his humanoid form in order to personally train one of them while the others were assigned to tackle AMF obstacle courses as a team. Today's training took Yuuki aside while the others ran the course.
Zaphira: Yuuki, today we'll be working attacking defensively.
Yuuki: Instructor, why defensively?
Zaphira: In your position, you take the brunt of the force when on defense. Most of the time, people will open up the defenses and let attacks through into the formation. The target of this drill is to attack without letting attacks past you. BEGIN!
Meanwhile, in the obstacle course...
Leticia: 5 more to the goal! Firing Tracer shots!
C.Guider: Change Friggly! Gatling!
Feena: Double Boost!
C. Core: Strike and Slash!
Mikoto: Haaaaaaaaaa!
C. Striker:Change Stunstick! Thunder Fist!
Erika: Arc Slash!
C. Buster: Change Poetic! Shockwave!
As tracer shots from Leticia caused a trail of pockmarks around the drones, Mikoto and Erika rushed the drones. Mikoto arrived first, slamming a clawhand of crackling eletricity into the hastily erected AMF field and smashed through and into the unit, causing spasms as Erika rushed in next, her hand wielding a incredibly large scythe single handedly as she slashed at the shocked drone and created an air blade edge, forcing the unit back into its own comades in a huge explosion.
Leticia: Nice job, you two.
Feena: We should be thankful for you, Leticia.
Erika: Well, that wraps up that run. Let's go check on Yuuki.
Mikoto: Ne, kaa-san, how was that run?
At the operations console where Mabiko and Shari were along with Nanoha, Mabiko and Nanoha were looking over the obstacle run and checking with previous runs for comparison.
Mabiko: The speed and power isn't much of a problem...but the main focus this time is efficiency. Mikoto and Erika, you two are the main offense and defense when Yuuki is not around. Make sure you help defend attacks going for Feena and Leticia. Feena, be careful of overusing your magic. While your melee is decent with magic, you might be a liability after too much boosting or magic bombardment. Leticia, keep that pace up. You and Feena are the command post when I'm not around. Make sure you take into consideration all of your sister's abilities and not take unnecessary risks.
As the girls chorused their replies and headed off to find Zaphira and Yuuki, Mabiko cut the connection and turned to Nanoha.
Mabiko: Your opinion, Nanoha?
Nanoha: Their teamwork is impressive as usual. And you said that their devices still have another mode, Shari?
Shari: Yes, although it's still a gamble at this stage and sealed with a password from Mabiko.
Mabiko: They still need time to grow and mature.
Meanwhile...
Yuuki: Got to think...what can I do to attack while maintaining defense...I can't keep this wall up forever...that's it! Comet Crasher, Iron Wall!
C. Crasher: Iron Wall! Change Disease!
Zaphira: Hmph, that child's play technique will stop me...hm?
The aptly named Iron Wall, latticed out from Yuuki's position and expanded to nearly cut half the training zone off. From behind the lattice, Zaphira could barely make out Yuuki launching into the air.
Yuuki:Iron Wall...SPIRAL KICK!
C. Crasher: Change Passion!
Yuuki struck the Iron Wall at full speed, but the wall did not give. Instead it began to contort into a cone around the spiral kick of Yuuki.
Zaphira: Such an attack is useless!
Zaphira sent ground spikes to pierce the contorted Iron Wall, but was shocked to find that his spikes were broken off and added into the attack by the spiraling action, reinforcing the point. Hastily setting up a Shield spell, Zaphira found himself being forced backwards as the spiraling kick continued. Finally, he managed to whittle away the point enough as he shot one hand straight through the point and grabbed Yuuki's foot and stopped her spin, dissipating the the spiraling Iron Wall as well.
Zaphira: I'm suprised. You managed to come up with an attack that both defends and returns the enemy's attack. You've finished this drill nicely.
As Zaphira dropped Yuuki to the ground, she got up and brushed herself off before bowing.
Yuuki: Arigatougozaimasu...
Suddenly, Zaphira felt the aura of the area change...
Zaphira: ...oh great...
...And was fox-piled head on as he turned around to try and stop the other four, followed by Yuuki tackling from the side to finish the foxpile.
Zaphira: Girls, I'm your instructor, dammit. I am not a snuggle buddy. Now get off me!
From her office, Hayate watched the proceeded events unfold as she monitored the Magic Levels of all 6 members of Skyfox.
Hayate: ...Mabiko's magic level is almost to the point of being a B+ rank...is she giving her power to them or is there something else she's hiding for the Lost Logia she holds...Sky Vixen or not, Mabiko, I'm going to make you talk somehow...
Whew...2 and a half days to bust so many blocks.
Zafira getting foxpiled by 5 kitsune musume has me grinning like mad After all of the fourth wall breaking he's been doing to get noticed *cough* Nightengale *cough*, I'm glad he's gaining importance with Skyfox

Spoiler for Excerpt:
"Welcome," the voice said.
Ivey stopped in her tracks, or at least stopped as much as anyone could when one was floating through zero gravity. The voice didn't sound anything like May, apart from being presumably female, and May had left her to her research alone anyway.
"Hallo," she ventured.
"Do you require any assistance?"
"Uh, no." Ivey rotated slowly along a couple of axes. "Where are you? Who are you?"
"I am a Specialized Heuristic Organized Data Access Node, serial CIT-43893," the voice said. Ivey could not quite make out a direction; it seemed to come from everywhere at once. "I have been installed into the Time-Space Administration Bureau Infinite Library as a Logistic Infinite Library Application. You may call me Lila."
"You're a program?"
"That is correct. A more commonly-used term would be 'Artificial Intelligence'."
"Huh." That was a new one. "Why're you here?"
"My task is to catalogue and index every volume of information in the Infinite Library," Lila said. There was something not quite normal about her tone of voice, a sort of aural uncanny valley that Ivey could not quite pin down. "I am also to assist any employees and authorized visitors of the Time-Space Administration Bureau in locating any data that may be required. I am eager to perform my functions with alacrity."
Ivey drifted over to a nearby console panel, and keyed in a few queries. "I thought that was the job of the IAR."
"The Information Archive Retrieval departments are still a vital part of the management and administration of the Infinite Library, but the Time-Space Administration Bureau High Command has implemented the Logistic Infinite Library Application program as backup and support. Head Librarian Yuuno Scrya has gone on specific record as complying with this change under protest, and his objections and conditions have been noted as per Directive PT-2401, clearance Procedural Restricted (Gamma Sandy)."
Large red letters flared on the screen. Ivey exited out of the search. "I see. Well, I won't be keeping you any longer. Good luck with, um, whatever it is you're doing."
"Your concern is appreciated. Please, have a nice day."
An artificial intelligence in charge of what was possibly a truly infinite amount of data, which was forced into conventional space only by a great deal of magical power. An artificial intelligence whose origins were classified as Ultra Viridian, one of the highest security levels in the TSAB, accessible only by special Supreme Command order, and even then never by any individual member of such.
A very polite artificial intelligence, Ivey realized. In fact, too polite. Almost as though it had an incredible number of programming blocks and constraints placed upon it. A necessarily powerful AI which had to be channeled in a highly specialized task...
Ah well. If anything did go wrong, the TSAB brass would probably have all sorts of failsafes in place.
Probably.
That ominous last line... I hope Lila doesn't turn into HAL for the TSAB's sake A nice take on AI though, and more Ivey!

Spoiler for Threshold and Pain:
Subject: Report on #47C6 and #47C7 - Urgent
To: Lt. Colonel Yagami Hayate
From: Enforcer Maple
Date: 24/12/0072
I imagine that Knight Shamal has already informed you of the events that have transpired, but if she had not, please make sure to read this message.
As I had stated in my previous report, I have went to gain direct contact with the subjects #47C6 Threshold and #47C7 Pain. Working together with Knight Shamal, we have found a pattern relating to thier appearences, having commonality with past large-scale battles and Lost Logia incidents.
Using this information, we have intercepted them above the sea between Reztoria and Gazaria in the 18th non-administrated world. As you may know, this was the stage of the Battle of Tides thirty years ago. Just about as soon as we found them, Threshold casted her spell limiting our abilities. While Libra and I fought, Knight Shamal scanned them. Communication with the two seemed useless as they don't seem to want to talk much other than their pain. Although we were soundly defeated in that battle, Knight Shamal has managed to get some interesting information.
First was the nature of their Linker Core. Knight Shamal detected some abnormalities with their Linker Cores. Whenever we casted spells around them, their Linker Core seems to have reacted to them. Knight Shamal suspects that this is what is causing them their pain. If their Linker Cores are reacting to our magic, it would explain why it is difficult to approach them without them noticing. Also, if this is true, the scythe's "curse" may have been nothing but a superstition.
Knight Shamal also suspects that they might be using Ancient Belka magic, although she was unable to confirm it. Of course, due to the similarities of the two types, it can be difficult to tell. Pain's scythe is of Ancient Belkan origin, so it's possible she managed to learn the magic from it, and from there the magic may have been taught to Threshold. However, information on Ancient Belkan magic is rather lacking so perhaps you can get more insight into this.
Now, the most important thing we've learned is that there's a high possibility based on patterns so far that #47C6 Threshold and #47C7 Pain will appear in Uminari city in the island nation Japan of the 97th non-administrated world at 31/12/0072 or on the eve of the new year. I don't believe we can allow a repeat of the last time the two has appeared near a populated area. Forces must be mobilized in order to protect the people there. Failure to manage this situation will result in a disaster.
That is all.
Here's an opportunity for everybody to get involved.
Setting up for a massive engagement is there? Unfortunately the situation had to be resolved rather quickly, in order to not face the wrath of the Ion Canon
Interesting take on the linker Cores though, and thus renders the previous superstition null and void

Okay, here we go:
Spoiler for surprise:
TAKERU
Nickname: Silent Bullet (given by Frieda’s colleagues)
Age: 10 in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
Birthday: January 31st
Hair colour: reddish brown
Eye colour: blood red
Height: 151cm
Weight: 45kg
Affiliation: bounty hunter
Position / rank in TSAB: none
Home world: Earth (origin: Nagano, Japan; currently residing in Kota Kinabalu)
Device: Silberkugel (Silver Bullet); (later) Little Buster
Device type: Armed Device
Device appearance: assault rifle
Magic system: Neo-Belka
Magic element: unknown
Magic symbol: triangle
Magic colour: blood red
Partner: Frieda Johansson (age: 25)
Appearance: when not wearing his Knight Armour, Takeru wears turtleneck T-shirt and black trousers. He often carries his Discman around in his waist pouch.
Personality: calm and well-mannered, Takeru has adequate sense of humour and often plays jokes with other people. Very mature for his age, he never complains of his job and mentions that it is merely his source of livelihood.
Style: Takeru is a long-range bombardment-class knight. He excels the most in precision sniping and often employs “hit-and-run” tactics that leave his targets bewildered and unaware of what hits them until it’s too late.
BACKGROUND
Takeru lives alone with his little sister Yumemi at the outskirt of the city Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia. He makes livelihood by selling homemade handicrafts and selling it at local central markets; he uses the money for his sister’s long-range education since they’re too poor to afford local schooling. Despite this, he never complains of his poverty and states that he sees it as a challenge for him to improve his life.
His life changes when he stumbles across a woman in armoured clad lying on the road leading to his home unconscious. Worried that she will be exposed to danger if left outside, he brings her home and treats her with the help of Hikari. He wonders of who the woman is or what she’s doing at his hometown.
Later that night, while attending his sister to sleep, Takeru overhears a German conversation coming from the room the woman is at. He approaches the room and sees the woman conversing with an assault rifle; thinking that the woman is a terrorist he calls the police but is immediately apprehended before he can make any call. Too frightened to fight back, Takeru can only ask the woman of what she was doing; she introduces herself as Frieda Johansson, member of the Knightly Order of the Holy Belkan Empire and she is stranded on Earth after a battle with a Visalian warrior that left her injured. She explains that she tries to communicate with Silberkugel, her Armed Device that gets Takeru misidentifies her as terrorist but the Device isn’t responding. She is worried whether Silberkugel has broken down since it is her best friend since she became a Belkan Knight. Takeru asks if he can take a look on Silberkugel. He approaches the damaged Device and examines it carefully; he is awed by the technological degree unknown to him and wonders if he can use it.
Takeru’s home is suddenly attacked by a group of aggressors Frieda identifies as Visalian warriors. Still injured from the previous battle she is unable to transform into a Knight but ignores the condition and protects the siblings from harmed by the aggressors. As the battle intensifies, Takeru suddenly hears Silberkugel’s voice inside of his head, asking him to activate it. Baffled because he mysteriously understands the Device’s German speech, he takes no chance of letting the aggressors destroying his home and calls out the Armed Device’s name.
“Come forth, Little Buster!”
In a transformation that surprises not only Frieda but also the warriors, Takeru becomes a Belkan Knight and uses Silberkugel, now renamed Little Buster, and uses his newfound ability to drive the aggressors out of his home. As the battle ends, Frieda asks Takeru how he can easily gain trust of Silberkugel when she has difficulties doing the same for seven years; Takeru simply states that the Armed Device asked him to call out its name and he just did what it asked.
Frieda later discovers that Takeru is gifted with the ability to use old and new Belkan magic, but is unaware of his talent for almost his entire life. She foresees his future as a Belkan Knight and asks him if he wants to become her apprentice. At first Takeru is reluctant to leave his current job and worried of her sister, but the woman assures him she will take full responsibility over their custody. The boy agrees but with a condition that he must be permitted to see his sister in monthly basis.
Takeru completes his training with Frieda and her fellow Belkan Knights after a year, but instead of joining them he becomes a bounty hunter, the job that later takes him travelling around the world. He entrusts his sister to Frieda and promises to return home with enough money so that he and Yumemi can go back to their real hometown in Japan. The truth is he wants to find the person responsible for ordering the Visalian warriors to attack his home and hurt Frieda; he also wants to learn the truth of his parents who disappeared after Yumemi was born.
POWERS
Sturmform: the default mode of Little Buster. It bears resemblances to the AK-101 assault rifle series. Translated as “Assault Form”.
Scharfschütze-Form: translated as “Sniper Form”, Little Buster transforms into a sniper rifle for long-range bombardment attack. It comes with viewfinder and uses specialized .300-calibre magic cartridges, and shares the characteristic of the M24 Sniper Weapon System (SWS).
Panzer Faust: Takeru uses all cartridges and transforms Little Buster into a high-powered anti-material rifle, which appearance is similar to the South African Denel NTW-20 anti-materiel rifle.
Nachladen: this is not an attack, but refers to Little Buster’s procedure of reloading cartridges.
Explosion: also not an attack; Little Buster says this when using cartridges, analogous to the English-speaking devices’ “Load Cartridge”.
Wahrnehmung: also not an attack, but refers to the ability to increase field of vision, therefore improving line of sight. This ability, translated as Perception, is most often used with Little Buster in Sniper form.
DEFENSIVE ABILITIES
Knight Armour: a blood red Templar-style dress with black frills and yellow armbands, a pair of goggles with bullet decorations on straps, and jet black boots. This suit is not just the flashy costume, but also refers to an invisible defensive field generated by the costume, reducing or eliminating any serious injury from events such as an impact with a building.
Triangle Shield: blocks all magical or physical attacks coming from one direction with a triangular barrier, much like Fate’s or Nanoha’s Round Shield.
Verbegen: this ability is often used with Sniper Form for camouflage to conceal the caster from visual contact, therefore protecting the caster from being seen by target. It is translated as “Conceal”.
Vermeidung: translated as “Evasion”, this ability increases the caster’s evasion and can dodge any oncoming attacks.
OFFENSIVE ABILITIES
Sturmform (Assault Form)
Blitzkrieg: Takeru’s first attack, it uses one cartridge to shoot up to 30 energy bullets at target. It is similar in function to standard assault rifle, except that this ability uses only one cartridge instead of an entire magazine clip.
Kugel-Regen: a variation of Blitzkrieg where the energy bullets are targeted into certain parameter, therefore pinning down anyone caught in the middle of the bombardment. Translated as “Bullet Rain”.
Scharfschütze-Form (Sniper Form)
Bruch-Kugel: the most often used ability in Sniper form, Bruch-Kugel (translated as “Breach Bullet”) functions to destroy a target’s barrier magic and expose it to follow-up attack, usually another Bruch-Kugel or other attacks. As in any sniper rifle, it must be manually reloaded.
Panzer Faust
Silberfalke: Takeru’s final attack, in the same area of strength as Nanoha’s Starlight Breaker, Fate’s Plasma Zanber and Hayate’s Ragnarok. Translated as “Silver Falcon”, it is accessible only in Panzer Faust Form.
Phew, that was so short. >_< I can only hope there's room for improvement
This Takeru... he speaks to my firearm loving side
And while I'm not sure about the name "Little Buster", I am quite impressed by Silberkugels various modes. An assault rifle, sniper rifle, and anti-material rifle?! That's a firearm lover's freaking wet-dream! Nice nice, not to mention manual reloading and awesome sniper skills
I can sorta understand why Takuru would be allowed to be a bounty hunter... I don't think a Knight has much of a salary after all

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
I don't know about "lack of coherence" in here, maybe because it's just so damn enjoyable. And the chivalry between Isdera and Signum continues to impress

He will most likely got himself into troubles if he encounters Signum (though he has slight weakness toward older woman MILF, anyone?).

I can sorta understand why Takuru would be allowed to be a bounty hunter... I don't think a Knight has much of a salary after all
Little Buster happened to be the name of Takeru's sister's teddy bear. Why Silberkugel accepted that name is beyond me
I was planning to post more of Silberkugel but time was not being nice, so what you saw is basically what I had worked on. and yes, LoweGear, anti-material rifle FTW too bad none of the Gunslinger Girls I know ever uses one
regarding the "salary" part.... Hikki: does an Ace get paid on, like, monthly basis? Or are they paid after every successful mission? Shin: nah, we just get paid as usual. Besides, what makes you think of that? Hikki: *FGSFDS* well, you see.... *imagination of Nanoha & Hayate receiving checks from superior officer takes place; both of them have the squadron patch of 6th Division, 66th Air Force Unit stitched on their sleeves* Shin: *glares* you've been playing too much Ace Combat Zero, you know... Hikki: *laughs silly & scratches his head*
BTW, Takeru is a freelancer and swears no allegiance to anyone. This means he acts on his free own accordance, and might spell trouble for him....

Is this the shouta sniper? Wow. Funny how Teresa the MC sniper prefers closer ranges than this NV sniper. But she can snipe, until Uruzu 6 tops her.
Kinda unconciliable this NV sniper, given the short ranged nature of V magics, but I guess that's why you ran out of spells. I suppose this rifle's got a "beam bayonet"? After all, Cross Mirage has one, Teresa's primary device has one, and with Little Buster being a NV device all the more should have one.
1: I see.
2: yes, Takeru is the shouta sniper.
3: I need variation. I see if I can somewhat modify Takeru's magic style a bit.

I try not to have him overpowered, but that idea looks nice to me
Scuse the not replying to several chars/stories, I'll read them later, but Meophist posted something in the episode 10 thread that got my immediate attention:

Can anyone confirm this? Because if it's true, then I can come to only one conclusion: Ivory is reading my mind!
First the dragons, now she's practically one step away from an aspect mage? What's next? Neltharion gets introduced?

Who knows... maybe they'll introduce a "DeathWing" Mid-StrikerS...
Big Brother is watching us, and they're out to steal our ideas...
@USB500:
You already have an image for Silberkugel, asides from their vague description similarities?

I think this is the one case where the Ion Canon actually did more good to its target... At least, until the next strike
Of course, we'll have to clarify that info on Caro and the Black Dragon first before we shoot ourselves in the foot
For now, I'm only pinning down ideas for Keroko on that regard. Even if its true, the black dragon she uses is not Neltharion, the aspect of the black dragons, so she's not an aspect mage. Maybe her clan could become something like a group that seperated from the aspect mages many years ago, similar to the Mid-Childa/Velka relations.
Hmm....
*scribble scribble*
I hope it's at least partially true, that would mean Keroko has something she can solo-train Caro in.
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.

-----> Heavy Machine Gun perhaps? I'm assuming of course that they only resemble those weapons, and they don't actually look like them detail wise?
And nice reference on Schnee-Kugel as well (it's description and name point to the rumored "Ice Bullet" as it's source, am I wrong?)

I cant believe I'm having so much fun writing these fanfics. Just a day (and a half I think ) after the last episode was released, here I bring you Episode 03 of my fanfic. Here are the links for Episode 01 and Episode 02, in case you have missed them.
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, with her eyes 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 towards 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 then started crying herself, as she could not do anything else to ease her dear friend's pain.
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!
-----> Heavy Machine Gun perhaps? I'm assuming of course that they only resemble those weapons, and they don't actually look like them detail wise?
And nice reference on Schnee-Kugel as well (it's description and name point to the rumored "Ice Bullet" as it's source, am I wrong?)
*sniped by CIA*
1: HMG? Well, that's a bit overpowered IMO .
You must be talking about their physical appearance, right? As a matter of fact, Silberkugel's actual appearance doesn't exactly match the pictures, but what the heck.
2: yes, it is.
the ice bullet myth has been tested by the Mythbusters and proven to be unlikely. To quote Adam: "it's myth busted."
Oh, look at the times. I have to go, otherwise I'll miss my bus. Talk to all of you later tomorrow.
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.
Hmm, nice good CC's meet evil OC's, only, wasn't it a bit to easy to get the limiters released? That can backfire quite quickly.

Psaw, it's not like I have copyright on everything featuring dragons, don't worry about it. Besides, when Keroko goes beserk, the most intelligent thing comming from her mouth are roars of fury, and her physique barely changes. You'll know what I'm talking about when I finally get A's written down. I'm currently about a third in it. Bah, stupid work.

Dunno, I did get an awefull lot of Sasuke vibes, with all the evil smirking and feeling superior, but if I have to call a reference, I'd say Valgaav. Dragon wings and arms, pain, pulsing flesh, yep definetely Valgaav.
I cant believe I'm having so much fun writing these fanfics. Just a day (and a half I think ) after the last episode was released, here I bring you Episode 03 of my fanfic. Here are the links for Episode 01 and Episode 02, in case you have missed them.
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!
Oooh character design templates, awesome! Yes, I know it's only supposed to give the general picture of what they look like, but still nice choices... and Gwen the combat Meido FTW
As a story by itself, the battle itself and the character interactions are definitely top notch, especially with Natalia's transformation. I like some of the details, inclding Iris nearly getting choked by her own spell
Unfortunately, you've just set yourself up for some massive damage by Seven Arc's ION CANON Strike If it's an alternates thing though, then there's no problem

Physical appearance yes. Since I'm quite hyped when it comes to firearms... maybe you're up for a redesign?
And unfortunately that just had to be busted, and it was such a good idea too... although the powers of Midchilda magic could be used to create a real ice bullet

I cant believe I'm having so much fun writing these fanfics. Just a day (and a half I think ) after the last episode was released, here I bring you Episode 03 of my fanfic. Here are the links for Episode 01 and Episode 02, in case you have missed them.
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!
Very nice, and I do not think you made the battle too long (with so many participants it could not be any shorter imho). I may add more comments later when I am home.
Here is something I came up with. I think I did badly as it seems rather awkward at a few parts
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.

It was a bad idea to trifle with the girl you want... but even worse to cross her father, especially the General of the 10th Battalion And now I'm also wondering what that book contained
Now, where's our daily dose of Ginga + Tenta-

Yours is a highly powerful Lost Logia that bonded with a human.
I highly doubt that the current limiter technology could really stop that effectively. But Serge in himself won't be safe.
And I really liked how Tiara felt uncomfortable under a direct gaze.
And it is me, or did I think the King did deserve his slow and incredibly painful descent into madness? Despite the fact that it's just mostly superstition, it's still a good read.
