Well, like I said, it needs to be rewritten.
Not sure when I'll get to it, though, since I have a number of other things I'm wanting, and kind of needing, to work on.
*****Sunday*****
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!”
Hayate smiled from where she stood. In the center of the room, Nanoha was smiling sheepishly, thanking Subaru and Teana for their gift. Next to her are Fate and Vivio, the Enforcer explaining something to the young child, who looked a bit confused.
Signum was talking with Vice, while Shamal seems to be discussing something with Shari and Mariel. Vita was eating something, along with Rein and Agito. Oddly, Zafira seems to have disappeared. Though with Arf’s absence, it wasn’t that hard to guess where the Guardian Beast could have been.
Chrono was talking with Verossa, Carim and Schach. Well, more like glaring at Verossa, who had indeed try to flirt with Fate earlier. Although for some reasons Hayate got the impressions that Chrono had been glancing at Carim, while the blond Knight have a faint blush on her face. Must be her imaginations.
Then her eyes came across Yuuno. The man was drinking alone at a table, a soft smile on his face. His eyes was roaming around the room, occasionally stopping at the Ace of Aces before moving on.
Hayate was glad that he came. If there ever was someone who can qualify for being even MORE of a workaholic then Nanoha, then Yuuno is that person. Honestly, she had lost count of how many times he had collapsed, only to return to work the next day. Sure, he still takes the occasional vacation, but more than once he had stayed overnight to finish his work. Thankfully, Arf had told her that it doesn’t seem to be the case lately.
One thing that intrigued her, however, was Yuuno’s reaction. It was… lackluster. He had forgotten about Nanoha’s birthday before, but he would usually panic and start to reschedule most of his work. But he wasn’t like that when she told him about it last Friday. If she didn’t know any better, she would have thought that Yuuno wasn’t even bothered by the fact that he forgot his crush’s birthday.
She could tell that something had changed within her friend. His gaze didn’t linger as long as before, his eyes don’t held the same wistful look it once does. It was as if his interest in Nanoha has waned.
Then the Queen saw Chrono sitting down opposite to Yuuno. For a while, they sat nothing. Chrono then sat something, which judging by Yuuno’s face, was either a scathing remark or a teasing one. Sighing, Hayate make her way over, hoping to stop the Admiral from going overboard. As she approaches, however, she overheard their conversation.
“I just hope she won’t get mad about this.” Yuuno muttered to Chrono
Silence follows his statement, before Yuuno widens his eyes.
“Wait, you didn’t tell her?” Yuuno asked
“No, I didn’t. I thought you did” Chrono replied.
“You were the one who organized this trip!” the blond glared at his friend.
“And you’re her most frequent visitor.” Chrono retorted
“Who’s she?” Hayate asked nonchalantly. She just couldn’t help herself and she grinned at how Yuuno jumped a bit.
“It’s patient #202, Hayate.” Chrono glared. “And keep it down. It’s still being kept a secret.”
“Sorry.” The brunette smiled sheepishly, before her face turned serious. “What is it?”
“We can’t tell you much, but the short version is that we found one of Jail’s bunkers. Unfortunately, only she knows the password, so we were supposed to bring her there.” The blunet answered with a whisper.
“I see… “Hayate muttered, before frowning “And how is Yuuno involved in all of this?”
“He drafter me because of my expertise on Lost Logia” This time, it was the librarian who answered her. “Apparently, before Jail started on acquiring the Cradle, he used to collect ancient artifacts.”
Hayate nodded. Then a teasing grin make it way onto her face.
“Don’t worry Yuuno! I’m sure she’ll forgive you.”
“Are you sure?” Yuuno asked, a bit suspicious at Hayate’s grin.
“Yup! You’re her husband, after all!” Hayate declared, though thankfully it’s drowned by the sounds.
Yuuno choked on his drink. Chrono merely smirked. “True. With the way you kept visiting her, even when she yelled at you not too, the description fits.”
“YUUNO!” Before Yuuno can form a response, Nanoha called him over, her hand holding a book. “I can cook you know!”
Chuckling, Yuuno walked to his oldest friend, ignoring Hayate and Chrono in the process.
*****Next Day*****
Breathes In. Breathes Out. In. Out. In. Out.
Yuuno chanted in his head as he rides the elevator. Glancing down, he checked the large bag that he had brought with him. Hopefully, this would help him stave of her wraths.
When he arrived at the front door, the Librarian was rather puzzled by the guards.
“Here to see her, prof?” The one on the right grinned.
“Yeah.” Yuuno nodded. “It’s something wrong?”
“It’s nothing sir.” The one on the left replied. He remained stoic, but Yuuno could have sworn the man was trembling lightly. Nodding to them, he enter the room.
“Good morning Due” Yuuno greeted.
“Yo.” He frowned a bit when he saw her form tensing up.
“Due, what’s wrong?” Yuuno asked with a concerned tone. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” She replied stiffly.
Yuuno frowned. Walking around, he sat down in front of Due. “Are you sure?”
“I-I said I’m fine!” Strange. She’s stammering now. Deciding to check her temperature, Yuuno leans in and touches her forehead with his.
“Your temperature feels normal” Yuuno muttered to himself “So why is your face all red? Are you sure you’re not…Ow!”
Yuuno’s question was cut off when Due headbutted him. Then she grabbed the pillow and start hitting him with it.
“Ow! Hey, cut it out! Ow! That hurt, you know!” Yuuno feebly tried to defend himself from her attacks, but it’s rather hard with her enhanced strength
“Shut up shut up shut up!”
“Ow ow ow! Okay, that’s it! Chain Bind!” A green circle form up, and from it chains shot out and wrapped around the other blond
“H-h-hey, w-what the? L-l-let me g-go!” Due squeaked.
“Not until you calm down.” Yuuno replied, massaging where Due had hit him with the pillow.
“T-this isn’t f-funny, you know!” Due shouted. “Le-ummmph!”
“Shhh, keep quiet!” the librarian whispered, clamping one hand over her mouth. Honestly, if this keeps up people might get the wrong idea.
“You don’t want…” Yuuno trailed off and blinked, as the former Number had apparently fainted.
“Great, now she fainted.” Sighing, Yuuno decided to tuck her in. Figuring that he can apologizes to her later, Yuuno took the content out of the bag and placed it next to her.
Sorry Lhklan, I can't really comment on it because I (Please don't hate me for this...) never really liked Yunno or having known dead canon characters 'revived'. As such, I just glance through the chapters, not caring if there are plot holes or more description could be used.
Alright, here's chapter three
Spoiler for Left alone, abandoned by love chapter 3:
"Let me introduce them formally this time. We will be having three people temporarily working with us." Nanoha extended her hand to Ginga and Kiran while saying, "Master Sergeants Nakajima and Aora from the 108th Battalion. Based on their individual skills they will be Stars 5 and Lightning 5 respectively." She then turned to Mariel, "and Mariel Atenza, the head of engineering, part of the main branch's engineering division."
Ginga and Kiran saluted to the forwards, both saying, "Nice to be working with you."
"Nice to work with you too," came their response.
"I will be performing maintenance on your devices, so feel free to see me any time regarding them, ok?" said Mariel with a thin smile.
"Ok!"
Vita then stepped forward and said in her strict tone, "Since introductions are over, shall we begin this morning's practice?"
"Yes!"
---
"Amazing… you guys do this every morning?"
"A battle with the captains may be a bit special but…"
"It's mostly something like this."
"They need to push us right to our limits so that we'll be ok if we're deployed."
"It's rather tough."
"And, after practicing, we eat a lot, rest up, and then we're completely restored."
"I see."
"Ginga, Kiran, are you able to keep going?" asked Nanoha.
"Uhh, I rather not spar with you again…" Ginga replied, half laughing.
"Hehe, sorry to give you nightmares but it's not me. I realized that the forwards still do not know Kiran's battle style so I was wondering if you could spar with him one on one. The two of you are on par so the observation should be worth it."
"Oh… I'm fine if Kiran is."
"I'm good."
---
Ginga dashed forward, slamming a storm tooth into the air as Kiran used his water jets to burst backwards. She kept up the attack as he continued to jet around the field. She then loaded a cartridge, which increased her speed enough to get in front of Kiran while he was in mid-air.
"You can't dodge this now!" she yelled as she pushed down her knuckle bunker.
"Fine, I won't." Watch beeped as the ice on his feet disappeared and appeared on his arm. The ice cannon formed on his left hand as he slammed into the knuckle bunker. It resulted in an explosion which pushed the two back. Ginga rode her wing road to stop while Kiran formed the water jets again as he fired them against the ground.
"How? The last time we clashed my knuckle bunker was stronger than your ice cannon."
"I learnt a new trick called conversion. Notice that my arm had more shards that time because instead of pumping the liquid into both arms I pumped it to one only. It increases my attack by a little but I lose versatility since I only have one weapon."
"That won't stop me!" Ginga cried as she charged again. Kiran decided to go on the offensive and created his twin ice swords, parrying her attacks while trying to get one in.
---
"Those two really are on par…" Subaru said as the tenth minute passed without any hits. Her stomach growled and her face turned red.
"I guess it's really time for lunch then. Ginga, Kiran, stop for now."
"Yes Captain Takamachi!"
"I said stop, which means you can call me Nanoha now…"
"Sorry Nanoha!" The two walked back to the railing as Subaru formed a telepathic connection with Ginga.
"Gin-nee, how long did your last mock battle with Kiran last?"
"I forgot, but I know that it ended in a similar fashion to this."
Teana entered the conversation, starting with, "speaking of which, I didn't see him use any protective spells. Which means he's like Erio?"
"I guess you could say that he fulfills the position of a wing back…"
"His partner is also a female… Gin-nee! Are you going out with him?"
"Subaru! He barely talks to me outside of work. I don't even know if he considers me a friend…"
"He's just like Tea when we started. I'm sure he'll warm up."
"Don't drag me into this!"
---
"What are you going to do?" asked Erio as he saw Caro hover her carrot over his drink.
"I'll eat it," she replied with a sigh of defeat. The others at the table laughed as Kiran pushed in his chair and left the table.
Teana noticed the missing person and asked, "Eh, where did Kiran go?"
"Oh, he must have left already. He was never one to chat with anybody…" Ginga said as she exhaled deeply.
While Kiran was walking down the hallways he sped up the digestion of food by using the elemental liquid. He then entered his new room at Riot Force Six. He didn't see anybody around so he decided to get started. "Watch, activate code 155." Watch lit up the specified code as the gravity around him increased to 5.5 times of the norm.
---
"Watch, is it time for your maintenance? You're not processing the data as fast."
"Sorry master, I will pick up the pace."
"If you're tired just say so. I know that I'm pushing you every night and since you don't have an internal skill like me you need maintenance at least five times a year."
"I'm not. I will cope just – just fine."
"Ok, you're going," Kiran said as he undid the strap and went to Mariel. As he approached her he saw Ginga and Subaru leaving with her.
"Hello Kiran," greeted Mariel as she exited the door. "Is anything the matter?"
"Umm, I see you're busy with Ginga and Subaru. I'll come back later."
"No, not at all. I've read about your device and it seems that it requires quite a bit of maintenance. Are you sure you don't want to upgrade it?"
'If your new AI didn't take up so much freaking space that it would require a totally new frame I would,' Was the thought but Kiran just replied, "No, thank you. I especially like this device. It was a present from somebody special."
"Alright, you can have him back at eleven."
"Thank you very much."
---
Kiran walked into his room after his shower. As he opened the door he saw a red-haired boy on the lower bunk.
"Erio? Is this your room as well?"
"Yes, Kiran. I'm so thrilled that I finally have a roommate!"
"Uhh, yeah…"
"Which bunk would you like? I'm fine with either."
"So am I. You make the decision." Kiran put down his bag and went to the door. "I'll be out for a while." With that, he left the room and thought to himself, 'Great, if I train until I collapse now Erio will probably freak out and they'll stop me from doing it.' He went to the stimulation area and saw Teana there, practicing her marksmanship.
"Oh hi Kiran," she chirped as she wiped her sweat off. "Here for some extra training as well?"
"Yes but I'll be at the other end. I wouldn't want to disturb you."
"Wait, you don't have your device! How do you plan on practicing without it?"
"I guess Master Sergeant Rein didn't tell you. I don't use magic at all. All my builds are from my internal core which stores the elemental liquid. When Watch is back I'll send you the information to make it clearer."
"Ahh, there's no need." With that, Kiran walked to the other side.
---
At five minutes after eleven, a knock was heard on Mariel's door.
"Come in!"
"Sorry for being late Mariel."
"Oh it's you Kiran. No matter, I know that Watch also serves as a normal watch so it's a bit hard for you to tell them without him. He's in the camber on the far left." Kiran walked to him and strapped Watch on.
"Thank you again." Before Mariel could respond, the door was closed.
---
"Kiran, you're back," Erio said as he continued to sit on the floor with a puzzled look on his face.
"Oh hello Erio," he greeted back. "I thought you would be asleep by now."
"I was talking to Caro a few minutes earlier, but now I can't decide which bed to sleep on…"
"What? Just pick any, I'm fine with either."
"I'm also ok with any…"
"Fine, I'll take the top bed then," Kiran said as he climbed into it and slept. Erio did as well on the lower bed.
---
"Numbers! Tomorrow we will retrieve the Saint King and begin our domination with the Saint's Cradle!" Jail Scaglietti's voice and crackle resounded throughout the whole laboratory as the numbers stood in front of him and readied their weapons.
The doctor then began to brief the numbers individually on their parts. When he came to Cinque, Nove and Wendi, he told them to wait as he got their newest member to join them. The regeneration camber opened and Ni stepped out.

@Lhklan
As you said, everybody prefers different things so I don't mind.
Spoiler for After 'Left alone, abandoned by love':
I'm even thinking of doing a prequel to explain more which will contain even lesser CCs
Don't count on it, I've been playing with it for about half a month and the first chapter isn't even halfway done. Still revamping my first story...
@Craxuan
I think somebody said Lhklan's native language was not english so you can't really blame him for them

"I swear, if you sneak up on me one more time, I might just ask Verossa to stole something as blackmail." Carim complained to the man beside her.
"Sorry to disappoint you then." Chrono said. "I doubt I have anything worth taking"
"Well... I am interest in one your possession..." Carim smiled, advancing on the Admiral.
"Carim?" Chrono raised an eyebrow. The normally calm Knight was blushing, and unless he's mistaken, she seemed to be nervous..
"Then again..." the blond put one hand Chrono's chest. "Heart are not to be bought, but to be stolen, they say" Then she leaned in.
Chrono's eyes widened, but before he can say anything, Carim have already ran away.
Spoiler for Fixed?:
"I swear, if you sneak up on me one more time, I might just have to ask Verossa to steal something to use (may be redundant) as blackmail," Carim complained to the man beside her.
"Sorry to disappoint you then," Chrono said. "I doubt I have anything worth taking."
"Well... I am interested in one your possessions..." Carim smiled, advancing on the Admiral.
"Carim?" Chrono raised an eyebrow. The normally calm Knight was blushing, and unless he was(not sure) mistaken, she seemed to be nervous... (not sure about ".." in comparsion to "...")
"Then again..." the blond put one hand Chrono's chest. "Hearts are not to be bought, but to be stolen, they say." Then she leaned in. (maybe the last two could combine to - "Hearts are not to be bought, but to be stolen, they say," as she leaned in. - if you meant that her actions were simultaneous.)
Chrono's eyes widened, but before he could say anything, Carim had already run away. (if you prefer "ran" the structure would be -Carim already ran away. -)
Red for corrections, bold for comments.
I really hope they are correct

I've read too many fanfics from fanfiction.net concerning those kind of statements...
You're welcome
For any of my readers seeing this, there will not be any romance in "Left alone, abandoned by love". I don't really have a romantic bone so I won't dabble in it.

Hmm, I guess it's kind of redundant but I did not want to change his style too much. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the comma at the end be a full stop since there isn't any specified tone or action taken during the statement?
If I was doing this mine would be, "You know what they say, hearts are not meant to be bought, but stolen."
