Cinque looked at Erio as he stood there bleeding fairly freely. "...There are others?"
"Of course there would be others with that power." Mr. Snuggles struggled against the binds holding him to the ground. "How do you think I ended up on the other side of the universe and on Sette's head in the first place?"
Erio suddenly coughed several times and had to put his hand over his mouth as blood came rushing out. "What?"
"Erio-kun!" Caro gasped as she saw the blood. She rushed over to the boy and looked at him fearfully as he fell to his knees, groaning in pain. Turning, she glared at Cinque, who was walking away from them and moving to Mr. Snuggles. "What did you do to him?"
"You know about this power," Cinque said softly, "you know how terrifying it is then. I've already hit him with some of it, and I worry that if I use too much more that I'll seriously injure him."
"Kurr!" Cinque looked as Fried stood up and growled at her.
"Fried, no!" Caro gasped, her eyes widening as Fried opened his mouth to breath fire at Cinque. She could only watch in horror as there was a swish of golden light and three knives buried themselves into Fried, two on the roof of his mouth and one into the soft flesh under his jaw. "FRIED!"
"Do not worry, I did not put any power to those." Cinque said as she charged up another knife and cut Mr. Snuggles free with ease. "He is hurting, but with some care he will be fine." She turned back to look at Caro. "I do not like fighting, it makes it hard to keep myself from losing control."
Mr. Snuggles hopped up on Cinque's shoulder as the cyborg turned away from Caro. "Take care of them, Caro, next time, I'm going to show that boy just what I can do when I'm mad."
"And what would that be?" A new voice had Cinque stopping and looking up to see Signum looking down at her with narrowed eyes. "Because I think that you're going to need to come with me."
"Signum!" Caro cried out, scared for Erio and Fried.
"Heal them, I shall deal with these two." Signum looked down and blinked as she didn't see Mr. Snuggles on Cinque's shoulders anymore. "...Where is that cat?"
"Looking for his master." Cinque said as she threw several knives at Signum, who held her hand out to block them with her barrier.
"No!" Caro's voice rang out as a pink beam shot out of her fingertips, shooting the knives and knocking them out of the air. "Don't block her knives! They're dangerous!"
Signum looked at Cinque and finally took notice of her left eye. "...Chaos?"
"Yes." Cinque said as her hair flashed gold for a moment and she swiped her hand upwards, dozens of knives snapped into creation from nowhere and flew at Signum, who merely dashed to the side to avoid them.
"I see." Signum said as she landed on the ground and pointed Laevantein at Cinque. "You must be defeated then."
Cinque narrowed her eyes at Signum and held her hands to the side. "Do try." A twitch of her hands brought out two more knifes, which she threw at Signum. Her eyes widened as Signum rushed in and batted the knives to the side with her weapon.
"This will only hurt a moment." Signum said as she held Laevantein up high. She wasn't going to kill the girl, that wasn't needed, but knocking her out was perfectly acceptable, even if it looked like she was about to commit murder in cold blood.
As Signum brought her hand down, her chest suddenly felt cold as Cinque smiled and raised her left hand up to grab Laevantein by its blade, stopping the hilt mere inches from hitting her on the head. "What are you doing?" Signum's eyes widened as the edge cut deeply into Cinque's hand. "Stop, or you'll lose your hand."
"I.S. Rumble Detonator." Cinque said as a gear-like circle appeared under her feet.
Before Signum could wonder what that was, her sword shook in her hand before erupting with enough force to send Signum flying away, screaming in pain. As she flew through the air, Signum groaned as she found herself twisting in mid-air, forcing her to land on her shoulder and slide down the street, before tumbling head over heels several times before crashing into a mail box.
Groaning as she slowly sat up, Signum let out a whimper of pain as she tried to assess how much damage had been done to her body. Trying to open both of her eyes only had her screaming in pain from something in her right eye. Keeping that one closed, she opened her left eye and looked down at herself. Her left arm was torn up and bleeding badly with asphalt and metal sticking to it. Her legs were badly skinned and bleeding, but she doubted anything was really wrong with them, other than some metal that was sticking out of her legs at that moment. Her right hand though...
Grimacing, Signum raised her head up and raised her left hand slowly as she called up a view screen back to base.
"This is Signum Yagami, I need a medical team to my location, stat. I'm badly injured, Laevantein's been destroyed and I'm missing most of my right hand."
"...WHAT?!"
"You heard me, Lucino Lilie."
Lucino stared as she saw Signum's face on the screen, the woman was bleeding badly through several cuts on her face and neck, and there was some metal jammed into Signum's eye socket. "Sending emergency evac crews in now."
(---)
Cinque groaned as she hit the ground hard, tumbling side over side as she flew away from that blast. She looked at her left hand and groaned as she saw the bloody stump and metal wires coming out of her arm. "Never thought I'd be so happy to be so short." She muttered to herself as she started to stand up. Her outfit was torn up, both the body suit and the long coat that she wore, her hair was a mess and what was left of her hand hurt tremendously.
Cradling what was left of her hand, Cinque stumbled away, grateful that her hand wasn't bleeding too fast.
Still, her whole body hurt, and running was out of the question at that moment. Groaning painfully, she fell to her knees as what felt like liquid fire was pouring into her arm. Looking at her hand, she screamed as she saw her hand being put back together, bones, wires, and flesh. "GAH!" She had almost forgotten how painful regeneration was.
Still, it didn't look like there was anyone around her. "Annnngh..." She bit her lip and slowly stood up, looking around, before finding an alley. Groaning in pain, she limped over and into the alley way, before finally collapsing when she got pretty far into it.
The last thing she wanted was to be captured while her hand was regenerating.
(---)
"Teana..."
Teana turned to see Nove standing only a few feet from her, holding an unconscious Subaru, who was still in her barrier jacket, by her panties. "Nove... What's wrong with Subaru?"
"Just some sleep gas, it'll wear off in about ten hours or so. I'll take Wendi, you can have Subaru." Nove narrowed her eyes as Teana shook her head. "Why?"
"Even if I hate it, she's under arrest." Teana looked at the way Nove was holding Subaru and grimaced slightly. "She's going to be walking funny... So, I'd say that you're under arrest for sexual harassment of a Bureau member."
Nove rolled her eyes. "If I was doing that, she'd have no shorts or underwear on and my face would be soaked, you don't see any of that, so, it's not that." She smirked as Teana blushed at her comment. "Then again, you should meet Sirius..."
"You know that guy, huh?" Vita said as she dropped down on the street to look at Nove and Teana. "I'm still good to go, you might be as well, but you should let her go. I'm still mad about my hat getting sliced up." She pointed Graf Eisen at Nove. "That super-fast sister of yours isn't going to get up any time soon."
Nove blinked at Vita. "Uh... You sure?" When Vita blinked at her in confusion, Nove scratched her chin. "Tre-nee's very tough. If you didn't tie her down, she's probably going to be up in less than ten seconds."
Vita's pupils shrank at that. "...What?" There was no way that her opponent was going to get up so fast, not after she hit Tre so hard.
"But, I just want Wendi back, I'll give you back this one if you give me back Wendi."
Teana narrowed her eyes at Nove. "Listen you..." She stopped as she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning, her eyes widened as she saw Sein, partially phased through the street. "Sein, what are.." The next thing Teana knew, Sein's hands were on her face and the petite cyborg's lips were pressed up against hers, causing Teana's eyes to widen in shock. Mere moments later, Sein's tongue found its way into Teana's mouth, causing the girl's mind to go into complete shock.
Vita stared at that. "What the hell?"
That seemed to snap Nove out of her daze and she rushed forward and grabbed Wendi from Teana so violently that Teana's shoulder seemed to snap loudly. Wincing at the sound, she threw Wendi and Subaru over her shoulders and took off as fast as she could.
"HEY!" Vita turned and growled as she took off into the air. "Get back here with those two!"
Sein broke the kiss, smiling at Teana's stunned look. "Sorry, had to." She dropped through the ground again, leaving Teana to stare ahead, stunned, though her face was slowly turning red as her brain rebooted.
It took a few moments more, before Teana growled loudly. "DAMMIT, SEIN!"
(---)
Nove came to a screeching halt as she saw Nanoha blocking her path. "Dammit." Turning her head, she grimaced as she saw Vita behind her.
"Turn over Subaru and you'll get to come in under your own power." Nanoha said as she pointed Raising Heart at Nove. "If you don't, I will use force on you."
Before Nove could respond, a large bladed weapon passed through the air, in between Nove and Nanoha.
"I think you should leave us." Tre said as she stood in mid air, her arms crossed under her breasts, her face had a large red mark on it and it looked like she was standing in mid-air painfully. Next to her, Sette had caught the metal blade and was slightly hunched over, clutching the mark Signum gave her, and on her shoulders, Mr. Snuggles looked at them.
"That knight that hurt Sette is likely hurt, if that explosion and screaming that I heard was any indication."
Vita paled as she heard that. "Signum? What happened?!"
Mr. Snuggles shrugged and looked back at her. "I dunno, but she was against Cinque. Too bad she's using a metal sword, that's like a big exploding bird or something for Cinque."
"Vita... Go make sure Signum's okay, I'll deal with these guys."
"By yourself?" Tre smirked as Vita took off, searching for Signum. "I might be hurt, but Sette and I can deal with you."
Nanoha narrowed her eyes at Tre. If it was just Tre and Sette, she could probably deal with them. Nove would be a little problematic, but she had two people, so it wasn't likely that she would help out. "Yes, I do think I'll deal the two of you by myself."
Tre just smirked and snapped her fingers. Before Nanoha could respond, a green sphere surrounded her completely. "Meet Otto..."
"Storm Overload."
Nanoha gasped and let out a scream as she was bombarded on all sides by powerful Ray Storms.
Nove looked at Tre. "What about Cinque?"
"Sein's getting her, we need to get out of here before Testarossa gets up here." Tre chanced a look down and was grateful that Fate was helping Caro heal Erio and Fried instead of coming up to help them out. "Both Testarossa and Takamachi would be too much for all of us."
"Do not worry." Otto said as she dropped in, looking at Nanoha, who was still screaming as more of her Ray Storm Overload pounded the redheaded mage. "I brought a telepad."
"If I wasn't carrying Wendi and Subaru, I'd kiss you." Nove grinned as she saw Otto blush. "Get us out of here."
"Yes." Otto said as she activated the pad, causing the four cyborg girls and one cyborg cat to disappear completely.
Moments later, the energy bombarding Nanoha ceased and the girl groaned as she slumped and slowly fell out of the air. "Nnngh... Damn sneak attacks..." What was worse was that Nanoha could tell that the attack was being held back, and it still felt like she was about to die from it.
(---)
"Got you." Sein grinned as she hugged Cinque. The grin turned into a grimace as she saw the girl's bloodied hand and its half-regenerated state. "Come on, let's get that healed."
Cinque nodded as the two of them phased through the street. "Hurts..." She whimpered as she sank into the ground.
(---)
Vita stared as she saw the damage to Signum's body. "...Signum..." She fell to her knees as Signum could only twitch slightly. "...Where was Rein?"
"Sent... Her... Back..." Signum groaned painfully. "Glad... I... Did... Don't want... her hurt like this." She coughed and groaned.
"SHUT UP!" Vita screamed at Signum, tears falling down her face. "Don't talk right now! We'll fix you right up, okay?" When Signum smiled, despite the blood on her lips, Vita growled at her. "Don't you DARE give up on me, Signum! Just stay conscious! We'll get some help here!" Her eyes widened as she saw Signum's good eye slowly shut. "NO! Don't you DARE! Don't you DARE go to sleep! Stay awake! Signum... SIGNUM!"
Me: Paging Lamia Loveless... Your Expy just took a page from one of your lines...
Odin: *Palmface.*
Val: Ouch... I don't know how Signum will recover from that... Even I'll be down for a while from that kind of injury.

Spoiler for Obligatory Time Warp Episode Redux:
Twenty nine years. With the life expectancy of Mid Childa, most would view that age to be barely midlife. Indeed, at such at age, most would be busy working hard, raising families, and seeking to better themselves. It was a time to not only behave like an adult, but also teaching the next generation how to do the same. It became her dream to be a teacher, to pass down wisdom and spurn creativity. Before she became twenty, she achieved that dream. Together, with her beloved friends and family, she lived a wonderful life. So why did she, of all people, have to die?
The doctors had said only a few years would be lost as a result of her pushing her body beyond her limits. Years ago, just after that terrible injury, she cleared her debt with hard work and willpower. We all thought she would live well into the future, that despite the scars, she would be fine.
Takamachi Nanoha, Captain, Senior Combat Instructor for the TSAB Armed Forces (among other positions), died at the age of twenty nine. Cause of death: catastrophic organ failure. The doctors were wrong: it was not years, but decades. She was survived by her daughter, Takamachi Vivio, age sixteen.
The memory of her mother’s funeral was still vibrant in her mind, haunting both her dreams and waking moments. Some thought her strong enough to continue working through it all. She still went to class, still trained hard at the gym, and still proved to be every bit the daughter of Takamachi. In reality, she was weak, unable to heal completely from the tragedy. This would probably explain why she was currently standing in front of an ancient device, two years later.
“Discovered in zero-zero-fifty-one of the Mid Childan calender, scientists of all sorts have been unable to completely unravel what this thing does,” a friendly voice recited from behind her. “There is, of course, an underlying fear that this will just blow up and destroy existence as we know it.”
“That’s what they think of everything categorized as ‘Lost Logia,’ Yuuno-san,” Vivio turned around to see an old family friend, as well as her current guardian. Yuuno Scrya looked well, all things considered. He too was devastated at Nanoha’s death, burying himself in work to escape the pain. He, along with a certain Enforcer and a high-ranking officer in the Bureau, were the most affected by the tragedy. He looked like he had aged ten years in two.
“Yes, well, it’s for good reason. Even a single Jewel Seed could cause a dimensional catastrophe, let alone a collection of them.”
“Instead they were used to power Gadget Drones.”
“Curious, I’ll admit, but it nevertheless made those things dangerous to encounter, especially in an AMF field,” Yuuno shrugged, stepping up to the device. “Something this big is bound to have the potential to do something amazing or catastrophic. It’s up to me to find out.”
Amazingly, perhaps ironically, the death of his closest friend brought about a change within him. From bookworm to field agent, Yuuno had returned to the field. To his name, he had discovered remnants of three lost civilizations, no less than four ancient grimoires and tomes, and a number of priceless (and powerful) artifacts. And the Infinite Library was still rather clean and tidy.
“Apparently, it’s called ‘Njama Kifaa’ by the locals, and your guess is as good as mine as to what that means,” the former librarian shrugged.
It was a strange looking thing, but then again, many ‘lost technologies’ were. At least it lacked anything crystals, which someone in the past must have had some fetish for. The device was the size of a large van, with an indecipherable console-like thing facing the two explorers. All sorts of modern devices and scanners were set up around it, none of which gave any sort of useful data.
Really, it looked like a giant computer like those used on Earth in the 1990s. Heck, even the console-like thing looked like a keyboard. So Vivio poked a button.
[Line of Ancients detected.]
And that was when everything blew up. Figuratively. Lights all over lit up; sounds and noises filled the cavern. A screen sprang to life on the machine, unknown and lost words streaming by at a rapid rate. Vivio, staring at all the chaos, could only hear a whisper in her head.
[Genetic markers - Approved. Welcome, you who hold the blood of Kings]
What in the world was going on...?
[Child of Kings, what is thy desire?]
“Vivio, what did you do?!”
“I don’t know! It just started up and--- I can hear something in my head! I don’t know what it is!”
[You have awakened me. Know that I but a simple interface of the Akashic.]
“Wait. It says... it’s an interface? An interface with something called the Akashic.”
“The Akashic? As in the Akashic Records? The Mind of God?!” Yuuno managed to look worried, amazed, and utterly shocked all at once. Such an amazing, terrifying discovery. A record of all existence and power, the holy grail of knowledge, to borrow an Earth saying..
Vivio, on the other hand, stared at the strange machine.
[I know what you seek: a mother lost. Do you wish to save her?]
Her breath caught in her throat. How long had she lay sleepless in bed, her mind filled with impossible wishes and hopes. Yet, here, right in front of her, a possibility? Reason and emotion clashed terribly within her, but Vivio could not stop the words from slipping through her lips.
“Yes.”
[This wish, I can grant. Prepare yourself.]
The machine began to hum ominously as motes of light began to swirl around the girl. This was decidedly disturbing for Yuuno. “Vivio, what’s going on? Talk to me, please!”
Vivio, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, standing still as the orbits of light spun faster around her. “It said it would grant my wish. It’s taking me to Mama, to a time where I can save her.”
“Don’t be foolish! We don’t even know what this thing can actually do! The costs of this ‘wish’ could be enormous!” Yuuno struggled to get closer, but some strange barrier kept him back. No matter how hard he pushed, he could not step up. Magic failed him, leaving the man to stare helplessly as Vivio was taken from him, just as suddenly as Nanoha was.
“Yuuno-san... I’m going. Don’t worry about me, and...” Vivio gave Yuuno a sad smile. “I’m sorry.”
And in a flash of blinding light, she was gone.

Vivio could feel the sarcastic side of her grow stronger.
Well, here she was. Uminari City. Springtime. 2005.
And completely naked.
A fine start.

*drops in*
Nice . I really got the emotional impact of the premise even though you used very sparse narrative on it. And man, Vivio...are these Akashic Records a genie's lamp or a monkey's paw? I guess we'll have to see if Vivio gets her heart's desire, or if she has indeed destroyed all creation @_@.
If Vivio activated something just by touching it, I can't help but imagine... Six-year-old Vivio is holding Nanoha's hand as they visit Uncle Yuuno at work. The hall is cluttered with rows of stored Lost Logia.
Nanoha: "Now, Vivio, mama has to talk to Uncle Yuuno, okay? Stay here and don't touch anything, can you promise me?"
Vivio: *nods enthusiastically* "Okay!"
Nanoha: *talks with Yuuno*
Vivio: *fidgets, then gets bored. Wanders over to the closest huge Logia*
Vivio: "Cau...Cau-ti-on...Ex...explo...expo-sive? Expose? But it's covered right now..."
Vivio: "Okay, I'll help--" *grabs onto the nearest part to pull off the covered Lost Logia* The huge fireball was large enough to light up Cranagan City's nightscape.
Utter silence.
Nanoha: "VIVIO! What did I tell you about touching things?!?"
Cinque looked at Erio as he stood there bleeding fairly freely. "...There are others?"
"Of course there would be others with that power." Mr. Snuggles struggled against the binds holding him to the ground. "How do you think I ended up on the other side of the universe and on Sette's head in the first place?"
Erio suddenly coughed several times and had to put his hand over his mouth as blood came rushing out. "What?"
"Erio-kun!" Caro gasped as she saw the blood. She rushed over to the boy and looked at him fearfully as he fell to his knees, groaning in pain. Turning, she glared at Cinque, who was walking away from them and moving to Mr. Snuggles. "What did you do to him?"
"You know about this power," Cinque said softly, "you know how terrifying it is then. I've already hit him with some of it, and I worry that if I use too much more that I'll seriously injure him."
"Kurr!" Cinque looked as Fried stood up and growled at her.
"Fried, no!" Caro gasped, her eyes widening as Fried opened his mouth to breath fire at Cinque. She could only watch in horror as there was a swish of golden light and three knives buried themselves into Fried, two on the roof of his mouth and one into the soft flesh under his jaw. "FRIED!"
"Do not worry, I did not put any power to those." Cinque said as she charged up another knife and cut Mr. Snuggles free with ease. "He is hurting, but with some care he will be fine." She turned back to look at Caro. "I do not like fighting, it makes it hard to keep myself from losing control."
Mr. Snuggles hopped up on Cinque's shoulder as the cyborg turned away from Caro. "Take care of them, Caro, next time, I'm going to show that boy just what I can do when I'm mad."
"And what would that be?" A new voice had Cinque stopping and looking up to see Signum looking down at her with narrowed eyes. "Because I think that you're going to need to come with me."
"Signum!" Caro cried out, scared for Erio and Fried.

"Teana..."
Teana turned to see Nove standing only a few feet from her, holding an unconscious Subaru, who was still in her barrier jacket, by her panties. "Nove... What's wrong with Subaru?"
"Just some sleep gas, it'll wear off in about ten hours or so. I'll take Wendi, you can have Subaru." Nove narrowed her eyes as Teana shook her head. "Why?"

Nanoha narrowed her eyes at Tre. If it was just Tre and Sette, she could probably deal with them. Nove would be a little problematic, but she had two people, so it wasn't likely that she would help out. "Yes, I do think I'll deal the two of you by myself."
Tre just smirked and snapped her fingers. Before Nanoha could respond, a green sphere surrounded her completely. "Meet Otto..."
"Storm Overload."
Nanoha gasped and let out a scream as she was bombarded on all sides by powerful Ray Storms.
Nove looked at Tre. "What about Cinque?"
"Sein's getting her, we need to get out of here before Testarossa gets up here." Tre chanced a look down and was grateful that Fate was helping Caro heal Erio and Fried instead of coming up to help them out. "Both Testarossa and Takamachi would be too much for all of us."
"Do not worry." Otto said as she dropped in, looking at Nanoha, who was still screaming as more of her Ray Storm Overload pounded the redheaded mage. "I brought a telepad."
"If I wasn't carrying Wendi and Subaru, I'd kiss you." Nove grinned as she saw Otto blush. "Get us out of here."
"Yes." Otto said as she activated the pad, causing the four cyborg girls and one cyborg cat to disappear completely.
Moments later, the energy bombarding Nanoha ceased and the girl groaned as she slumped and slowly fell out of the air. "Nnngh... Damn sneak attacks..." What was worse was that Nanoha could tell that the attack was being held back, and it still felt like she was about to die from it.
(---)
"Got you." Sein grinned as she hugged Cinque. The grin turned into a grimace as she saw the girl's bloodied hand and its half-regenerated state. "Come on, let's get that healed."
Cinque nodded as the two of them phased through the street. "Hurts..." She whimpered as she sank into the ground.
(---)
Vita stared as she saw the damage to Signum's body. "...Signum..." She fell to her knees as Signum could only twitch slightly. "...Where was Rein?"
"Sent... Her... Back..." Signum groaned painfully. "Glad... I... Did... Don't want... her hurt like this." She coughed and groaned.
"SHUT UP!" Vita screamed at Signum, tears falling down her face. "Don't talk right now! We'll fix you right up, okay?" When Signum smiled, despite the blood on her lips, Vita growled at her. "Don't you DARE give up on me, Signum! Just stay conscious! We'll get some help here!" Her eyes widened as she saw Signum's good eye slowly shut. "NO! Don't you DARE! Don't you DARE go to sleep! Stay awake! Signum... SIGNUM!"
A harder try asked Teana and a harder try Teana got.
Also, it's just me or BtF!Nanoha needs Vivio even more than canon!Nanoha?
Teana narrowed her eyes at Nove. "Listen you..." She stopped as she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning, her eyes widened as she saw Sein, partially phased through the street. "Sein, what are.." The next thing Teana knew, Sein's hands were on her face and the petite cyborg's lips were pressed up against hers, causing Teana's eyes to widen in shock. Mere moments later, Sein's tongue found its way into Teana's mouth, causing the girl's mind to go into complete shock.
Vita stared at that. "What the hell?"
That seemed to snap Nove out of her daze and she rushed forward and grabbed Wendi from Teana so violently that Teana's shoulder seemed to snap loudly. Wincing at the sound, she threw Wendi and Subaru over her shoulders and took off as fast as she could.
"HEY!" Vita turned and growled as she took off into the air. "Get back here with those two!"
Sein broke the kiss, smiling at Teana's stunned look. "Sorry, had to." She dropped through the ground again, leaving Teana to stare ahead, stunned, though her face was slowly turning red as her brain rebooted.
It took a few moments more, before Teana growled loudly. "DAMMIT, SEIN!"
My brain has shut down....... the yuri kissing shut my brain down..... *nosebleed and pale white from loss of blood*
Twenty nine years. With the life expectancy of Mid Childa, most would view that age to be barely midlife. Indeed, at such at age, most would be busy working hard, raising families, and seeking to better themselves. It was a time to not only behave like an adult, but also teaching the next generation how to do the same. It became her dream to be a teacher, to pass down wisdom and spurn creativity. Before she became twenty, she achieved that dream. Together, with her beloved friends and family, she lived a wonderful life. So why did she, of all people, have to die?
The doctors had said only a few years would be lost as a result of her pushing her body beyond her limits. Years ago, just after that terrible injury, she cleared her debt with hard work and willpower. We all thought she would live well into the future, that despite the scars, she would be fine.
Takamachi Nanoha, Captain, Senior Combat Instructor for the TSAB Armed Forces (among other positions), died at the age of twenty nine. Cause of death: catastrophic organ failure. The doctors were wrong: it was not years, but decades. She was survived by her daughter, Takamachi Vivio, age sixteen.
The memory of her mother’s funeral was still vibrant in her mind, haunting both her dreams and waking moments. Some thought her strong enough to continue working through it all. She still went to class, still trained hard at the gym, and still proved to be every bit the daughter of Takamachi. In reality, she was weak, unable to heal completely from the tragedy. This would probably explain why she was currently standing in front of an ancient device, two years later.
“Discovered in zero-zero-fifty-one of the Mid Childan calender, scientists of all sorts have been unable to completely unravel what this thing does,” a friendly voice recited from behind her. “There is, of course, an underlying fear that this will just blow up and destroy existence as we know it.”
“That’s what they think of everything categorized as ‘Lost Logia,’ Yuuno-san,” Vivio turned around to see an old family friend, as well as her current guardian. Yuuno Scrya looked well, all things considered. He too was devastated at Nanoha’s death, burying himself in work to escape the pain. He, along with a certain Enforcer and a high-ranking officer in the Bureau, were the most affected by the tragedy. He looked like he had aged ten years in two.
“Yes, well, it’s for good reason. Even a single Jewel Seed could cause a dimensional catastrophe, let alone a collection of them.”
“Instead they were used to power Gadget Drones.”
“Curious, I’ll admit, but it nevertheless made those things dangerous to encounter, especially in an AMF field,” Yuuno shrugged, stepping up to the device. “Something this big is bound to have the potential to do something amazing or catastrophic. It’s up to me to find out.”
Amazingly, perhaps ironically, the death of his closest friend brought about a change within him. From bookworm to field agent, Yuuno had returned to the field. To his name, he had discovered remnants of three lost civilizations, no less than four ancient grimoires and tomes, and a number of priceless (and powerful) artifacts. And the Infinite Library was still rather clean and tidy.
“Apparently, it’s called ‘Njama Kifaa’ by the locals, and your guess is as good as mine as to what that means,” the former librarian shrugged.
It was a strange looking thing, but then again, many ‘lost technologies’ were. At least it lacked anything crystals, which someone in the past must have had some fetish for. The device was the size of a large van, with an indecipherable console-like thing facing the two explorers. All sorts of modern devices and scanners were set up around it, none of which gave any sort of useful data.
Really, it looked like a giant computer like those used on Earth in the 1990s. Heck, even the console-like thing looked like a keyboard. So Vivio poked a button.
[Line of Ancients detected.]
And that was when everything blew up. Figuratively. Lights all over lit up; sounds and noises filled the cavern. A screen sprang to life on the machine, unknown and lost words streaming by at a rapid rate. Vivio, staring at all the chaos, could only hear a whisper in her head.
[Genetic markers - Approved. Welcome, you who hold the blood of Kings]
What in the world was going on...?
[Child of Kings, what is thy desire?]
“Vivio, what did you do?!”
“I don’t know! It just started up and--- I can hear something in my head! I don’t know what it is!”
[You have awakened me. Know that I but a simple interface of the Akashic.]
“Wait. It says... it’s an interface? An interface with something called the Akashic.”
“The Akashic? As in the Akashic Records? The Mind of God?!” Yuuno managed to look worried, amazed, and utterly shocked all at once. Such an amazing, terrifying discovery. A record of all existence and power, the holy grail of knowledge, to borrow an Earth saying..
Vivio, on the other hand, stared at the strange machine.
[I know what you seek: a mother lost. Do you wish to save her?]
Her breath caught in her throat. How long had she lay sleepless in bed, her mind filled with impossible wishes and hopes. Yet, here, right in front of her, a possibility? Reason and emotion clashed terribly within her, but Vivio could not stop the words from slipping through her lips.
“Yes.”
[This wish, I can grant. Prepare yourself.]
The machine began to hum ominously as motes of light began to swirl around the girl. This was decidedly disturbing for Yuuno. “Vivio, what’s going on? Talk to me, please!”
Vivio, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, standing still as the orbits of light spun faster around her. “It said it would grant my wish. It’s taking me to Mama, to a time where I can save her.”
“Don’t be foolish! We don’t even know what this thing can actually do! The costs of this ‘wish’ could be enormous!” Yuuno struggled to get closer, but some strange barrier kept him back. No matter how hard he pushed, he could not step up. Magic failed him, leaving the man to stare helplessly as Vivio was taken from him, just as suddenly as Nanoha was.
“Yuuno-san... I’m going. Don’t worry about me, and...” Vivio gave Yuuno a sad smile. “I’m sorry.”
And in a flash of blinding light, she was gone.
---
Vivio could feel the sarcastic side of her grow stronger.
Well, here she was. Uminari City. Springtime. 2005.
And completely naked.
A fine start.

...I am intrigued. I hope that there is more to come. This looks very interesting and I am very curious as to how Vivio will deal with younger versions of everyone.
Cinque looked at Erio as he stood there bleeding fairly freely. "...There are others?"
"Of course there would be others with that power." Mr. Snuggles struggled against the binds holding him to the ground. "How do you think I ended up on the other side of the universe and on Sette's head in the first place?"
Erio suddenly coughed several times and had to put his hand over his mouth as blood came rushing out. "What?"
"Erio-kun!" Caro gasped as she saw the blood. She rushed over to the boy and looked at him fearfully as he fell to his knees, groaning in pain. Turning, she glared at Cinque, who was walking away from them and moving to Mr. Snuggles. "What did you do to him?"
"You know about this power," Cinque said softly, "you know how terrifying it is then. I've already hit him with some of it, and I worry that if I use too much more that I'll seriously injure him."
"Kurr!" Cinque looked as Fried stood up and growled at her.
"Fried, no!" Caro gasped, her eyes widening as Fried opened his mouth to breath fire at Cinque. She could only watch in horror as there was a swish of golden light and three knives buried themselves into Fried, two on the roof of his mouth and one into the soft flesh under his jaw. "FRIED!"
"Do not worry, I did not put any power to those." Cinque said as she charged up another knife and cut Mr. Snuggles free with ease. "He is hurting, but with some care he will be fine." She turned back to look at Caro. "I do not like fighting, it makes it hard to keep myself from losing control."
Mr. Snuggles hopped up on Cinque's shoulder as the cyborg turned away from Caro. "Take care of them, Caro, next time, I'm going to show that boy just what I can do when I'm mad."
"And what would that be?" A new voice had Cinque stopping and looking up to see Signum looking down at her with narrowed eyes. "Because I think that you're going to need to come with me."
"Signum!" Caro cried out, scared for Erio and Fried.
"Heal them, I shall deal with these two." Signum looked down and blinked as she didn't see Mr. Snuggles on Cinque's shoulders anymore. "...Where is that cat?"
"Looking for his master." Cinque said as she threw several knives at Signum, who held her hand out to block them with her barrier.
"No!" Caro's voice rang out as a pink beam shot out of her fingertips, shooting the knives and knocking them out of the air. "Don't block her knives! They're dangerous!"
Signum looked at Cinque and finally took notice of her left eye. "...Chaos?"
"Yes." Cinque said as her hair flashed gold for a moment and she swiped her hand upwards, dozens of knives snapped into creation from nowhere and flew at Signum, who merely dashed to the side to avoid them.
"I see." Signum said as she landed on the ground and pointed Laevantein at Cinque. "You must be defeated then."
Cinque narrowed her eyes at Signum and held her hands to the side. "Do try." A twitch of her hands brought out two more knifes, which she threw at Signum. Her eyes widened as Signum rushed in and batted the knives to the side with her weapon.
"This will only hurt a moment." Signum said as she held Laevantein up high. She wasn't going to kill the girl, that wasn't needed, but knocking her out was perfectly acceptable, even if it looked like she was about to commit murder in cold blood.
As Signum brought her hand down, her chest suddenly felt cold as Cinque smiled and raised her left hand up to grab Laevantein by its blade, stopping the hilt mere inches from hitting her on the head. "What are you doing?" Signum's eyes widened as the edge cut deeply into Cinque's hand. "Stop, or you'll lose your hand."
"I.S. Rumble Detonator." Cinque said as a gear-like circle appeared under her feet.
Before Signum could wonder what that was, her sword shook in her hand before erupting with enough force to send Signum flying away, screaming in pain. As she flew through the air, Signum groaned as she found herself twisting in mid-air, forcing her to land on her shoulder and slide down the street, before tumbling head over heels several times before crashing into a mail box.
Groaning as she slowly sat up, Signum let out a whimper of pain as she tried to assess how much damage had been done to her body. Trying to open both of her eyes only had her screaming in pain from something in her right eye. Keeping that one closed, she opened her left eye and looked down at herself. Her left arm was torn up and bleeding badly with asphalt and metal sticking to it. Her legs were badly skinned and bleeding, but she doubted anything was really wrong with them, other than some metal that was sticking out of her legs at that moment. Her right hand though...
Grimacing, Signum raised her head up and raised her left hand slowly as she called up a view screen back to base.
"This is Signum Yagami, I need a medical team to my location, stat. I'm badly injured, Laevantein's been destroyed and I'm missing most of my right hand."
"...WHAT?!"
"You heard me, Lucino Lilie."
Lucino stared as she saw Signum's face on the screen, the woman was bleeding badly through several cuts on her face and neck, and there was some metal jammed into Signum's eye socket. "Sending emergency evac crews in now."
(---)
Cinque groaned as she hit the ground hard, tumbling side over side as she flew away from that blast. She looked at her left hand and groaned as she saw the bloody stump and metal wires coming out of her arm. "Never thought I'd be so happy to be so short." She muttered to herself as she started to stand up. Her outfit was torn up, both the body suit and the long coat that she wore, her hair was a mess and what was left of her hand hurt tremendously.
Cradling what was left of her hand, Cinque stumbled away, grateful that her hand wasn't bleeding too fast.
Still, her whole body hurt, and running was out of the question at that moment. Groaning painfully, she fell to her knees as what felt like liquid fire was pouring into her arm. Looking at her hand, she screamed as she saw her hand being put back together, bones, wires, and flesh. "GAH!" She had almost forgotten how painful regeneration was.
Still, it didn't look like there was anyone around her. "Annnngh..." She bit her lip and slowly stood up, looking around, before finding an alley. Groaning in pain, she limped over and into the alley way, before finally collapsing when she got pretty far into it.
The last thing she wanted was to be captured while her hand was regenerating.
(---)
"Teana..."
Teana turned to see Nove standing only a few feet from her, holding an unconscious Subaru, who was still in her barrier jacket, by her panties. "Nove... What's wrong with Subaru?"
"Just some sleep gas, it'll wear off in about ten hours or so. I'll take Wendi, you can have Subaru." Nove narrowed her eyes as Teana shook her head. "Why?"
"Even if I hate it, she's under arrest." Teana looked at the way Nove was holding Subaru and grimaced slightly. "She's going to be walking funny... So, I'd say that you're under arrest for sexual harassment of a Bureau member."
Nove rolled her eyes. "If I was doing that, she'd have no shorts or underwear on and my face would be soaked, you don't see any of that, so, it's not that." She smirked as Teana blushed at her comment. "Then again, you should meet Sirius..."
"You know that guy, huh?" Vita said as she dropped down on the street to look at Nove and Teana. "I'm still good to go, you might be as well, but you should let her go. I'm still mad about my hat getting sliced up." She pointed Graf Eisen at Nove. "That super-fast sister of yours isn't going to get up any time soon."
Nove blinked at Vita. "Uh... You sure?" When Vita blinked at her in confusion, Nove scratched her chin. "Tre-nee's very tough. If you didn't tie her down, she's probably going to be up in less than ten seconds."
Vita's pupils shrank at that. "...What?" There was no way that her opponent was going to get up so fast, not after she hit Tre so hard.
"But, I just want Wendi back, I'll give you back this one if you give me back Wendi."
Teana narrowed her eyes at Nove. "Listen you..." She stopped as she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning, her eyes widened as she saw Sein, partially phased through the street. "Sein, what are.." The next thing Teana knew, Sein's hands were on her face and the petite cyborg's lips were pressed up against hers, causing Teana's eyes to widen in shock. Mere moments later, Sein's tongue found its way into Teana's mouth, causing the girl's mind to go into complete shock.
Vita stared at that. "What the hell?"
That seemed to snap Nove out of her daze and she rushed forward and grabbed Wendi from Teana so violently that Teana's shoulder seemed to snap loudly. Wincing at the sound, she threw Wendi and Subaru over her shoulders and took off as fast as she could.
"HEY!" Vita turned and growled as she took off into the air. "Get back here with those two!"
Sein broke the kiss, smiling at Teana's stunned look. "Sorry, had to." She dropped through the ground again, leaving Teana to stare ahead, stunned, though her face was slowly turning red as her brain rebooted.
It took a few moments more, before Teana growled loudly. "DAMMIT, SEIN!"
(---)
Nove came to a screeching halt as she saw Nanoha blocking her path. "Dammit." Turning her head, she grimaced as she saw Vita behind her.
"Turn over Subaru and you'll get to come in under your own power." Nanoha said as she pointed Raising Heart at Nove. "If you don't, I will use force on you."
Before Nove could respond, a large bladed weapon passed through the air, in between Nove and Nanoha.
"I think you should leave us." Tre said as she stood in mid air, her arms crossed under her breasts, her face had a large red mark on it and it looked like she was standing in mid-air painfully. Next to her, Sette had caught the metal blade and was slightly hunched over, clutching the mark Signum gave her, and on her shoulders, Mr. Snuggles looked at them.
"That knight that hurt Sette is likely hurt, if that explosion and screaming that I heard was any indication."
Vita paled as she heard that. "Signum? What happened?!"
Mr. Snuggles shrugged and looked back at her. "I dunno, but she was against Cinque. Too bad she's using a metal sword, that's like a big exploding bird or something for Cinque."
"Vita... Go make sure Signum's okay, I'll deal with these guys."
"By yourself?" Tre smirked as Vita took off, searching for Signum. "I might be hurt, but Sette and I can deal with you."
Nanoha narrowed her eyes at Tre. If it was just Tre and Sette, she could probably deal with them. Nove would be a little problematic, but she had two people, so it wasn't likely that she would help out. "Yes, I do think I'll deal the two of you by myself."
Tre just smirked and snapped her fingers. Before Nanoha could respond, a green sphere surrounded her completely. "Meet Otto..."
"Storm Overload."
Nanoha gasped and let out a scream as she was bombarded on all sides by powerful Ray Storms.
Nove looked at Tre. "What about Cinque?"
"Sein's getting her, we need to get out of here before Testarossa gets up here." Tre chanced a look down and was grateful that Fate was helping Caro heal Erio and Fried instead of coming up to help them out. "Both Testarossa and Takamachi would be too much for all of us."
"Do not worry." Otto said as she dropped in, looking at Nanoha, who was still screaming as more of her Ray Storm Overload pounded the redheaded mage. "I brought a telepad."
"If I wasn't carrying Wendi and Subaru, I'd kiss you." Nove grinned as she saw Otto blush. "Get us out of here."
"Yes." Otto said as she activated the pad, causing the four cyborg girls and one cyborg cat to disappear completely.
Moments later, the energy bombarding Nanoha ceased and the girl groaned as she slumped and slowly fell out of the air. "Nnngh... Damn sneak attacks..." What was worse was that Nanoha could tell that the attack was being held back, and it still felt like she was about to die from it.
(---)
"Got you." Sein grinned as she hugged Cinque. The grin turned into a grimace as she saw the girl's bloodied hand and its half-regenerated state. "Come on, let's get that healed."
Cinque nodded as the two of them phased through the street. "Hurts..." She whimpered as she sank into the ground.
(---)
Vita stared as she saw the damage to Signum's body. "...Signum..." She fell to her knees as Signum could only twitch slightly. "...Where was Rein?"
"Sent... Her... Back..." Signum groaned painfully. "Glad... I... Did... Don't want... her hurt like this." She coughed and groaned.
"SHUT UP!" Vita screamed at Signum, tears falling down her face. "Don't talk right now! We'll fix you right up, okay?" When Signum smiled, despite the blood on her lips, Vita growled at her. "Don't you DARE give up on me, Signum! Just stay conscious! We'll get some help here!" Her eyes widened as she saw Signum's good eye slowly shut. "NO! Don't you DARE! Don't you DARE go to sleep! Stay awake! Signum... SIGNUM!"
Ouch, just ouch. Signum really drew the short one against Cinque. Well, everyone sort of got their asses handed to them. Good call on releasing Rein though.

“Discovered in zero-zero-fifty-one of the Mid Childan calender, scientists of all sorts have been unable to completely unravel what this thing does,” a friendly voice recited from behind her. “There is, of course, an underlying fear that this will just blow up and destroy existence as we know it.”
“That’s what they think of everything categorized as ‘Lost Logia,’ Yuuno-san,” Vivio turned around to see an old family friend, as well as her current guardian. Yuuno Scrya looked well, all things considered. He too was devastated at Nanoha’s death, burying himself in work to escape the pain. He, along with a certain Enforcer and a high-ranking officer in the Bureau, were the most affected by the tragedy. He looked like he had aged ten years in two.
“Yes, well, it’s for good reason. Even a single Jewel Seed could cause a dimensional catastrophe, let alone a collection of them.”
“Instead they were used to power Gadget Drones.”
“Curious, I’ll admit, but it nevertheless made those things dangerous to encounter, especially in an AMF field,” Yuuno shrugged, stepping up to the device. “Something this big is bound to have the potential to do something amazing or catastrophic. It’s up to me to find out.”
Amazingly, perhaps ironically, the death of his closest friend brought about a change within him. From bookworm to field agent, Yuuno had returned to the field. To his name, he had discovered remnants of three lost civilizations, no less than four ancient grimoires and tomes, and a number of priceless (and powerful) artifacts. And the Infinite Library was still rather clean and tidy.
“Apparently, it’s called ‘Njama Kifaa’ by the locals, and your guess is as good as mine as to what that means,” the former librarian shrugged.
It was a strange looking thing, but then again, many ‘lost technologies’ were. At least it lacked anything crystals, which someone in the past must have had some fetish for. The device was the size of a large van, with an indecipherable console-like thing facing the two explorers. All sorts of modern devices and scanners were set up around it, none of which gave any sort of useful data.
Really, it looked like a giant computer like those used on Earth in the 1990s. Heck, even the console-like thing looked like a keyboard. So Vivio poked a button.
[Line of Ancients detected.]
And that was when everything blew up. Figuratively. Lights all over lit up; sounds and noises filled the cavern. A screen sprang to life on the machine, unknown and lost words streaming by at a rapid rate. Vivio, staring at all the chaos, could only hear a whisper in her head.
[Genetic markers - Approved. Welcome, you who hold the blood of Kings]
What in the world was going on...?
[Child of Kings, what is thy desire?]
“Vivio, what did you do?!”
“I don’t know! It just started up and--- I can hear something in my head! I don’t know what it is!”
[You have awakened me. Know that I but a simple interface of the Akashic.]
“Wait. It says... it’s an interface? An interface with something called the Akashic.”
“The Akashic? As in the Akashic Records? The Mind of God?!” Yuuno managed to look worried, amazed, and utterly shocked all at once. Such an amazing, terrifying discovery. A record of all existence and power, the holy grail of knowledge, to borrow an Earth saying..
Vivio, on the other hand, stared at the strange machine.
[I know what you seek: a mother lost. Do you wish to save her?]
Her breath caught in her throat. How long had she lay sleepless in bed, her mind filled with impossible wishes and hopes. Yet, here, right in front of her, a possibility? Reason and emotion clashed terribly within her, but Vivio could not stop the words from slipping through her lips.
“Yes.”
[This wish, I can grant. Prepare yourself.]
The machine began to hum ominously as motes of light began to swirl around the girl. This was decidedly disturbing for Yuuno. “Vivio, what’s going on? Talk to me, please!”
Vivio, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, standing still as the orbits of light spun faster around her. “It said it would grant my wish. It’s taking me to Mama, to a time where I can save her.”
“Don’t be foolish! We don’t even know what this thing can actually do! The costs of this ‘wish’ could be enormous!” Yuuno struggled to get closer, but some strange barrier kept him back. No matter how hard he pushed, he could not step up. Magic failed him, leaving the man to stare helplessly as Vivio was taken from him, just as suddenly as Nanoha was.
“Yuuno-san... I’m going. Don’t worry about me, and...” Vivio gave Yuuno a sad smile. “I’m sorry.”
And in a flash of blinding light, she was gone.

Vivio could feel the sarcastic side of her grow stronger.
Well, here she was. Uminari City. Springtime. 2005.
And completely naked.
A fine start.

Perhaps a little too summarized, but otherwise could be epic.
As she walked into her secret base, Levi chuckled to herself as she put Reinforce down on one of the examination tables. "You are something else, aren't you?" Reinforce didn't answer, not that Levi minded, since the device was still unconscious. "Something that even my master was worried about, so much so that he kidnapped your master." She snorted as light bent around her hand before forming into a dagger. "What does that matter anyway? That's old history now. But you have a secret, don't you?" Levi grinned as she put the flat of the dagger against Reinforce's throat. "Just one little twist and then I would just have to press down, and you couldn't stop me..." Levi chuckled before slipping it into Reinforce's shirt. "You're just lucky that I'm not into dead bodies like that."
As she pushed the knife through Reinforce's shirt, she raised an eyebrow as she cut through a dark colored bra. "Interesting, so you're treated that well, huh?" Snorting, she continued down, cutting through Reinforce's shirt, before starting on her pants, cutting them in half, before cutting down each pant leg. Levi grinned as she looked at her handiwork, before slapping herself on the forehead. "Whoops, forgot your arms..." A couple quick motions had Reinforce's outfit completely cut open, exposing the silver-haired woman to Levi completely. "Lovely..."
"Master Levi..." Quattro's voice came to her mind.
"What is it Quattro?" Levi snorted as she dissolved the dagger and picked up Reinforce off of the table. Carrying the nude device over to some straps that were hanging down, she grinned as she mentally commanded the straps to wrap around Reinforce's arms at her elbows, keeping her suspended in the air.
"Should I send a Megah in to deal with clean up of the Riot Force? There's only three that are there that are still active."
"Is Lutecia there?" Levi asked as she commanded two more straps to rise from the ground and wrap around Reinforce's ankles and spread her legs.
"She's with me, in the lab, why?"
Levi narrowed her eyes and smirked as she heard Quattro let out a scream. "Just what is she doing there? If she's not on the battlefield, it takes too much effort to send a Megah in."
"She," Quattro panted, before groaning, but what caught Levi's attention was that it was a groan of pleasure, "she's showing me some gratification."
Levi smirked as she closed her eyes. "Using her to please you, huh? Good job."
"Not that hard, you should see her..." Levi blinked as Quattro sent her a mental picture of what Lutecia was going through.
"Excellent... Two at once, huh?" Chuckling, Levi broke the connection to Quattro and focused on Reinforce. "Time to wake up..." Lightly patting Reinforce on her cheeks, Levi smirked as the device groaned and slowly opened her eyes. "Ah, good, you're finally awake."
"...What..?" Reinforce's eyes snapped open completely as she stared at Levi and her mind rebooted completely. "You!"
"Oh, I wouldn't try to use magic," Levi shook her finger as she felt Reinforce trying to access her power, "I'm still strong enough to cancel anything, and we both know without your master, you can't use your strongest spells." She smirked as she saw Reinforce stop powering up. "Good girl." She laughed as she patted Reinforce's breasts, causing the device to flush, but the anger she felt and tasted was just sweet.
"What do you want, Alicia?" Reinforce let out a sharp cry of pain as Levi squeezed her breast tightly and gave it a harsh squeeze.
"It's Levi now, you useless twit." Levi narrowed her eyes at Reinforce before letting go of her breast. "But, ah well, you're wondering what I want..." She snapped her fingers and held her hand out. Reinforce looked up and stared in mute horror as several syringes floated over to Levi. "Eat your heart out Yoda." Reinforce stared at her and Levi rolled her eyes. "I did spend enough time on Earth in my existence to see those movies, you know." Plucking a needle out of mid-air, Levi lifted Reinforce's left bare breast up and put the needle into the soft flesh and injected the fluid into Reinforce. "As for what I want..?" Levi grinned as Reinforce hissed heavily. "Several things, really... Revenge against that clone for one." After the fluid was injected fully, Levi pulled the needle out and threw it behind her, where it crashed against the far wall. "For another thing, I want revenge on this whole reality for everything that's happened." Levi grabbed another needle and did the same thing to Reinforce's right bare breast.
Reinforce grunted and squirmed. "What else? And what are you doing to me?" She grunted as Levi chuckled and walked around behind her.
"What else? My dear, you are curious, aren't you?" Levi chuckled and ran her hands along Reinforce's butt, down to her legs and up again, grinning as she saw Reinforce's rear bounce just slightly. "You're quite sexy, for someone who used to be human."
"What?" Reinforce asked, before yelping as a needle was sunk into each butt-cheek at the same time.
"Oh, you don't know?" Levi smirked as she injected more of the weird fluid into Reinforce. "There are no Unison Devices from before Ancient Belka. However, the Tome of the Night Sky, later the Book of Darkness, comes from Al Hazard... But, my master said that when he turned the Tome of the Night Sky into the Book of Darkness, it had a silver-haired woman that was its control point. That was you, wasn't it?" Levi asked while pulling the needles out of Reinforce's rear end.
"So... What if I was?" Reinforce panted as Levi walked around her, chuckling softly.
"That means... And I might be wrong, but..." Levi looked up and smirked at her. "You were once human. A human who gave up her humanity to be turned into a Unison Device to fight against my master from so long ago."
"So..." Reinforce panted, wondering why her body felt weird at that moment. "What good does that do you?"
"Oh, nothing, except that it is possible," Levi slinked up to Reinforce and leaned her head onto Reinforce's left bare breast. "And if it's possible..." A leer came to the blue-haired Mazoku's face as she stuck her tongue out and licked Reinforce's nipple. "Mmm.." Levi grinned as Reinforce shuddered in revulsion. "If it's possible..." Levi smirked as she stepped away, looking up and down Reinforce's body. "I want to know..." She snapped her fingers and the remaining needles returned to the table and several tubes came down out of the ceiling. "Just how to turn people into Unison Devices."
Reinforce's eyes widened as more tubes dropped down near her head. "What are you..?" She looked at the fact that these ones had suction cups on them rather nervously.
"Alas," Levi floated up and put the suction cups on Reinforce's temples, "I'm afraid," Levi smirked as two more tubes dropped down with suction cups on them, "you probably won't survive what I have planned."
Reinforce tried to ignore the way that the suction cups were attached to her breasts. "What do you mean? If you want to kill me, then just do it."
Levi rolled her eyes and walked behind Reinforce. "If I did that, I wouldn't get your delicious data..." She gave Reinforce's butt a harsh slap, causing Reinforce to yelp in pain. "And now, my dear... I could go fast, but doing so would kill you, and I don't wan that, so..."
Reinforce hissed as she felt a tube get pushed into her from behind. "Stuff.. Isn't supposed... To go into that place." She gasped as Levi slapped her ass again.
"Quiet you." Levi chuckled at her. "If you're wondering what I'm doing, it'll become quite obvious... Soon enough." She laughed as Reinforce gasped and twitched. "I need your data, which means I need to drain it from you." Levi walked out in front of Reinforce and sat down on a chair, grinning as a screen popped up in front of her. "My dear, Reinforce, I'll be stripping you of your data now... But, as I said before, if I went quickly, you'd be dead, and I don't want that..." Levi chuckled as she heard Reinforce groan painfully. "But, this is much slower and far more painful to you. And when you're done... Your mind will be completely blank, my personal servant... And a new power source for the start of my new army."
Levi grinned, her eyes shining brightly as she held her hands in front of her, her fingers were slightly curled, as if she had a ball in them. "This world, and all worlds..." An image of people walking down the street were slowly replaced by hundreds of Megahs in their place in her mind. "Will be MINE!"
A soft chuckle came to her lips, before she couldn't hold back any more and her shoulders started to shake as the soft chuckle became a soft laugh and Levi put her hand on her forehead as her laughter picked up in volume and intensity. Eventually, Levi lost it completely and threw her head back and let out an extremely loud laugh from deep inside of her body.
"You suck." Reinforce muttered, causing Levi to stop laughing. "You do a horrible Iori Yagami impression."
Levi glared at Reinforce, who grinned at her. "Just for that..." She walked up to Reinforce and put a hand on her belly. "I think I'm going to have... So much fun with you." The glare on her face disappeared as she smirked. "Maybe I'll turn you into my personal pleasure toy before I turn you into a new power source?"
As Levi felt Reinforce's belly and slowly moved her hands down, the device closed her eyes and tried to keep a tear from escaping her eyes. 'I'm sorry, Hayate, I wasn't strong enough.' She just hoped that she could see her family again.
That was all she could hope for at this moment.

Reason: As much as I agree with you, let's not rehash what caused this thread to be closed last year.
Can it be possible that those that don't like Nanya's fic not show your hypocrisy by actually reading it?
For now, any more meta posting on the subject will be edited/deleted so let's just chill out.
That's hypocritical? That doesn't make sense from a literary critique point of view.
If their critiques are more flames than an actual critique, then that would be the offense, not that they read it and feel compelled to review it. People can read and review as they wish, their motives are their own. Flames are bad. Enforce an existing rule instead of making up some eh.

The context here was in fact flaming, not a critique (you can't see that anymore because the comment was edited out). It is nothing but the continuation of grudge matches from long ago that I already warned would not be permitted on this Forum. Of course, reviews and criticism are fine.

Odin: And some people never ever learns to appreciate you efforts, no?
Me: The suspense is killing me... I wanna know more and Ignore those J@ck@sses how read your story and say they hate it due to the new contents.

Groaning as she smelled something unusual, Subaru opened her eyes and groaned. "What happened?" She tried to sit up but found it impossible for a few reasons.
One, she was strapped to a table with metal locks over her wrists, keeping her arms pinned down at her sides, metal locks on her ankles, which forced her to laying flat on the table, and a large metal lock over her stomach, pinning her down. Two, her head was still dizzy and she was having a hard time thinking clearly. Three, her crotch and ass hurt, like she had suffered an Atomic Wedgie for hours. And finally...
"Why am I naked?!"
"Had to make sure that you didn't have anything on you that could cause a problem." A familiar female voice said to her.
"Nove!" Subaru turned her head to see Nove sitting at a nearby table. "What's going on?! Where am I?!"
"I don't know." Nove said softly. "I was going to give you to Teana and take Wendi from her, but I ended up taking you with, and I'm not sure why I even bothered." In Nove's hands was a container of some sort and she took a drink from it. "You're at the secret headquarters of your worst enemy."
"I knew it! You're working for that bulldog that tore Gin-nee's pants that time!" Nove turned to look at Subaru weirdly. "I knew that dog was evil, but trying to kill me like this..."
"...You're an idiot." Nove grumbled as Subaru laughed at her. "Just what was up with that!?"
Subaru sweat-dropped as Nove came closer to her. "Ah, trying to not freak out about the fact that I'm naked and helpless right now?" She tried to move her arms and legs but found it to be impossible. "What is this stuff?"
"You're not breaking out, those things can hold Sette when she loses her temper." Nove reached in and flicked Subaru on the forehead. "And trust me, you aren't anywhere near as strong as she is." When Subaru continued to struggle, Nove crossed her arms and turned around to sit on the table. "I just don't see it. I don't see how it can be true." Nove turned her head and blinked in surprise as Uno came into the room. "Un-nee, what are you doing here?"
"Just checking on our guest, and Nove, if you want to leave a butt-imprint on her arm, just keep sitting on it. Though, if you have to sit on her, I'd think her breasts would be more comfortable." Uno smirked as Nove jumped off of the table, blushing hard. "Now then, miss Subaru Nakajima..." She narrowed her eyes at the nude cyborg. "Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about you. Type Zero cyborg or not, I could hack your mind, wipe out everything that makes you who you are and have you be nothing more than an emotionless fighter." Snapping her fingers, Uno gave a tight smile as a headband with three wires popping out of it lowered from the ceiling. "Wouldn't be hard. Complete personality wipe while I dig in your head for memories." She snapped the headband onto Subaru's forehead and smiled at the girl's terrified look. "Imagine if you will, no personality, your I.S. active and attacking your former friends... Your sister... And your mother."
"Un-nee, what are you..?" Nove looked at Uno with some fear on her face, not only because of Uno's rather harsh behavior, but also because she was afraid that Uno would do that to Subaru.
"Do you really think any of us can trust her? The instant she's free, she'll attack the two of us, run naked through the base until she finds an exit and then leave." Uno tapped her chin. "Though, I'm sure that Wendi and Sein would love to see her running naked, she is rather cute." She cleared her throat and started typing at a keyboard that appeared in front of her. "Anyway, time to do some data, personality and history draining from you." When Subaru whimpered, Uno smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, it will only hurt for a second, then you won't feel anything anymore."
"Un-nee! Stop it!" Uno looked at Nove, before gasping as Nove jumped up and kicked her right in the face, sending her crashing against the wall. "Don't you dare hurt my sister like that!"
"S...Sister?" Subaru blinked in confusion, though she was thankful for Nove for saving her. "Wait, you were..."
"Good kick, Nove." Uno stood up and rubbed her jaw. "That hurt, you know." She grumbled as she walked back towards the table and raised an eyebrow as Nove took a defensive stance in front of Subaru. "Calm down, Nove. I was just testing you."
"Huh?" Nove blinked as Uno chuckled. "Un-nee! It's not funny! You nearly..."
"I know, I wanted to see your reaction." Uno smirked at her. "Though, I didn't expect you to kick me in the face. Anyway, Subaru Nakajima, meet your younger sister, Nove."
Subaru looked at Nove, and then at Uno, and frowned in confusion. "I don't see it."
"Yes, yes, well..." Uno smirked at Subaru. "I could let you up, before Sein comes in here. If you can't fight back, who knows how far she'll go?" She laughed as Nove and Subaru had identical knowing expressions on their faces. "Or maybe you'd like that?" Subaru shook her head and Uno shrugged at that. "A pity," she reached into her coat jacket and pulled out a blue outfit, "it may be a bit small, but it should fit you."
"Um..." Subaru looked at it. "It's one of those outfits you guys wear, right?"
"Eh, an older one," Uno shrugged at Subaru, "so, you can either put it on and look like you belong, stick around here for a little while, or I'll just have Quattro do to you what I was going to do."
"You can't, Un-nee!"
Uno took a deep breath and looked at Nove. "Nove, I'm not making this threat because it's a good thing, I'm doing this because it's needed to keep all of you safe and alive. After all, what's to stop her from leaving here and sending a signal to the Bureau to have them come in and finish things off?"
"I wouldn't..." Subaru gulped at the look Uno gave her. "But I..."
"Every time we were looking for certain Lost Logia to help Miss Lu's mother, you and your Riot Force was there, stopping us." Uno narrowed her eyes, anger on her face. "Ever since we cut ties to the brains, we knew that the Bureau would come for us. You really think I'm going to let the Bureau kill my little sisters because they're so dangerous?" Subaru gulped as Uno grabbed the table and shook with fury. "I would rather die than let my sisters be put on trial and then eliminated for the crime of being created on the Bureau's orders!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Subaru protested, whimpering. "I was on a day off and we found a little girl with a Lost Logia, then Nove and someone else showed up and things went crazy. I swear!" Tears were leaking out of her eyes as Uno glared at her.
"You don't know who that girl is, do you?" Subaru shook her head quickly and Uno snorted before pulling out a small remote and pushing a button. "Nove, if she tries to run..."
"Don't worry, I can stop her." Nove grinned as Uno gave Subaru the outfit.
Uno nodded as Subaru put the outfit on. "Now, hold still..." She pulled out a collar and slipped it around Subaru's neck, before locking it into place with a click. "That's an explosive shock collar." Uno smirked at Subaru. "You thought I trusted you? You're an idiot. Try and leave or attack anyone, you'll be shocked. Try and use magic, you'll be shocked. Try to do a combination of those, it'll explode and take your head off."
Subaru gulped and nodded. "I'll be good." She turned to walk away and yelped as Uno slapped her butt.
"I have to admit," Uno smirked as she looked at Subaru, "a slightly tighter outfit is more flattering, even though it shows off a lot more detail. Now get out of here!"
Subaru nodded and followed behind Nove, her steps hesitant and meek.
Uno sighed softly and closed her eyes. "Sorry, Nove, didn't mean to scare your sister like that, but I can't trust the Bureau, at all."

Jail smiled as he saw Subaru and Nove a minute later. "Ah, Nove! How are you? And this must be your sister, Subaru then?" He blinked as Subaru nodded rather meekly. "Something wrong?"
"Explosive shock collar." Nove grumbled softly. "Plus Un-nee got mad at her." Jail nodded as he heard that and looked at Subaru, who looked down. What he did next shocked Subaru, but not Nove. In fact, Nove almost expected Jail to do what he did next.
The scientist took a step forward and pulled Subaru into a hug. "Calm down, Subaru." He rubbed her back and smirked as she stiffened in the hug. "Uno is very protective of her younger sisters, and we do have good reason to be afraid of the Bureau right now." He sighed softly as he held the distraught cyborg, who was slowly relaxing in his hug. "I just wish I knew why you were trying to stop us from perfecting our ability to fight against Mazoku."
Subaru blinked and pulled back, looking up at him in confusion. "...What are you talking about? The Riot Force that I work for was designed to train mages to be able to fight against Mazoku."
Jail and Nove both stared at Subaru in shock.
BTW, this story now has over 500,000 words to it.

My fics Due to certain things, I am not here, find me over on TFF.
Groaning as she smelled something unusual, Subaru opened her eyes and groaned. "What happened?" She tried to sit up but found it impossible for a few reasons.
One, she was strapped to a table with metal locks over her wrists, keeping her arms pinned down at her sides, metal locks on her ankles, which forced her to laying flat on the table, and a large metal lock over her stomach, pinning her down. Two, her head was still dizzy and she was having a hard time thinking clearly. Three, her crotch and ass hurt, like she had suffered an Atomic Wedgie for hours. And finally...
"Why am I naked?!"
"Had to make sure that you didn't have anything on you that could cause a problem." A familiar female voice said to her.
"Nove!" Subaru turned her head to see Nove sitting at a nearby table. "What's going on?! Where am I?!"
"I don't know." Nove said softly. "I was going to give you to Teana and take Wendi from her, but I ended up taking you with, and I'm not sure why I even bothered." In Nove's hands was a container of some sort and she took a drink from it. "You're at the secret headquarters of your worst enemy."
"I knew it! You're working for that bulldog that tore Gin-nee's pants that time!" Nove turned to look at Subaru weirdly. "I knew that dog was evil, but trying to kill me like this..."
"...You're an idiot." Nove grumbled as Subaru laughed at her. "Just what was up with that!?"
Subaru sweat-dropped as Nove came closer to her. "Ah, trying to not freak out about the fact that I'm naked and helpless right now?" She tried to move her arms and legs but found it to be impossible. "What is this stuff?"
"You're not breaking out, those things can hold Sette when she loses her temper." Nove reached in and flicked Subaru on the forehead. "And trust me, you aren't anywhere near as strong as she is." When Subaru continued to struggle, Nove crossed her arms and turned around to sit on the table. "I just don't see it. I don't see how it can be true." Nove turned her head and blinked in surprise as Uno came into the room. "Un-nee, what are you doing here?"
"Just checking on our guest, and Nove, if you want to leave a butt-imprint on her arm, just keep sitting on it. Though, if you have to sit on her, I'd think her breasts would be more comfortable." Uno smirked as Nove jumped off of the table, blushing hard. "Now then, miss Subaru Nakajima..." She narrowed her eyes at the nude cyborg. "Quite frankly, I don't give a damn about you. Type Zero cyborg or not, I could hack your mind, wipe out everything that makes you who you are and have you be nothing more than an emotionless fighter." Snapping her fingers, Uno gave a tight smile as a headband with three wires popping out of it lowered from the ceiling. "Wouldn't be hard. Complete personality wipe while I dig in your head for memories." She snapped the headband onto Subaru's forehead and smiled at the girl's terrified look. "Imagine if you will, no personality, your I.S. active and attacking your former friends... Your sister... And your mother."
"Un-nee, what are you..?" Nove looked at Uno with some fear on her face, not only because of Uno's rather harsh behavior, but also because she was afraid that Uno would do that to Subaru.
"Do you really think any of us can trust her? The instant she's free, she'll attack the two of us, run naked through the base until she finds an exit and then leave." Uno tapped her chin. "Though, I'm sure that Wendi and Sein would love to see her running naked, she is rather cute." She cleared her throat and started typing at a keyboard that appeared in front of her. "Anyway, time to do some data, personality and history draining from you." When Subaru whimpered, Uno smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, it will only hurt for a second, then you won't feel anything anymore."
"Un-nee! Stop it!" Uno looked at Nove, before gasping as Nove jumped up and kicked her right in the face, sending her crashing against the wall. "Don't you dare hurt my sister like that!"
"S...Sister?" Subaru blinked in confusion, though she was thankful for Nove for saving her. "Wait, you were..."
"Good kick, Nove." Uno stood up and rubbed her jaw. "That hurt, you know." She grumbled as she walked back towards the table and raised an eyebrow as Nove took a defensive stance in front of Subaru. "Calm down, Nove. I was just testing you."
"Huh?" Nove blinked as Uno chuckled. "Un-nee! It's not funny! You nearly..."
"I know, I wanted to see your reaction." Uno smirked at her. "Though, I didn't expect you to kick me in the face. Anyway, Subaru Nakajima, meet your younger sister, Nove."
Subaru looked at Nove, and then at Uno, and frowned in confusion. "I don't see it."
"Yes, yes, well..." Uno smirked at Subaru. "I could let you up, before Sein comes in here. If you can't fight back, who knows how far she'll go?" She laughed as Nove and Subaru had identical knowing expressions on their faces. "Or maybe you'd like that?" Subaru shook her head and Uno shrugged at that. "A pity," she reached into her coat jacket and pulled out a blue outfit, "it may be a bit small, but it should fit you."
"Um..." Subaru looked at it. "It's one of those outfits you guys wear, right?"
"Eh, an older one," Uno shrugged at Subaru, "so, you can either put it on and look like you belong, stick around here for a little while, or I'll just have Quattro do to you what I was going to do."
"You can't, Un-nee!"
Uno took a deep breath and looked at Nove. "Nove, I'm not making this threat because it's a good thing, I'm doing this because it's needed to keep all of you safe and alive. After all, what's to stop her from leaving here and sending a signal to the Bureau to have them come in and finish things off?"
"I wouldn't..." Subaru gulped at the look Uno gave her. "But I..."
"Every time we were looking for certain Lost Logia to help Miss Lu's mother, you and your Riot Force was there, stopping us." Uno narrowed her eyes, anger on her face. "Ever since we cut ties to the brains, we knew that the Bureau would come for us. You really think I'm going to let the Bureau kill my little sisters because they're so dangerous?"

Me: And the Trara-bubu came.
Odin: Commence head banging to the nearest solid object.
Val: I wonder what will Jail and the rest will do now that Subaru stated that RF6 is made to fight the same threat as they're preparing to face.

. I really got the emotional impact of the premise even though you used very sparse narrative on it. And man, Vivio...are these Akashic Records a genie's lamp or a monkey's paw? I guess we'll have to see if Vivio gets her heart's desire, or if she has indeed destroyed all creation @_@.
