Posted the first chapter of TTG on FF.Net, and since I'll be updating every day I guess there's no need for me to post a link here. No changes (Though I spotted a few grammatical errors, but that could always wait).

Fate smiled as she and Yuuno sat on the benches, waiting for the dimensional planes to touch down. "It's been almost a year, hasn't it?"

"Yeah." Yuuno nodded, looking up and hoping to see which planes the two were going to touch down on. "Amazing that they actually wanted to go through with the basic training."

"I'm not surprised." Fate leaned back, closed her eyes and smiled softly. "They're surrounded by people like us, who enjoy using our magic, they look up to us and wish to emulate us." Opening one eye, she looked at Yuuno. "Or did you not notice how much Caro was watching you every time she saw you spar and train?"

"To busy teaming up with you and Nanoha against Signum, Vita and Hayate." Yuuno gave her a flat look as she giggled. "If I remember right, you ended up in just your underwear, Vita had just a bra on, Hayate ended up naked and Signum and Nanoha were all bloodied up from trying to bludgeon each other to death."

"I seem to recall that you were pinned under a giant rock Hayate summoned." Fate giggled, though her face was completely flush at that memory. "What was wrong? Too distracted from the nudity to get out?"

"Well, I sure couldn't complain about the sight." Yuuno grinned at her, causing her to lightly punch him in the arm. "Besides, I'm sure that you would have stared at me if I ended up naked."

"Nah, if she wanted to stare at you naked, boss, she would get Nanoha and they'd ask you to join them in the bath."

"I would not." Fate turned away, blushing hard. "I'm a perfect lady in the bath."

Yuuno stared at her, before smirking at the other blonde. "Sure you are, that's why you asked Thoth for pictures of myself and Nanoha on the beach."

Fate turned to look at him sharply, her face completely red. "How did you know?" Yuuno turned away and coughed. "...You tricked me."

Yuuno turned back to look at her and smirked. "Yeah, I did." He blinked as she narrowed her eyes and suddenly lunged forward. "Ah..." He gulped as she pinned him under her. "Fate, ah..." Dammit, why were her breasts so soft and yet so heavy in just the right way?

"Remember what happened last time you teased me?" Fate leaned in, before surprising Yuuno when she kissed him on the lips lightly.

Yuuno blinked at Fate and blushed as she pulled back and got off of him. "...Um..." If she would react like this more often, maybe he would tease her more often.

"Fate-san!" Fate looked up and Yuuno sat up as they heard that voice.

"Erio!" Fate smiled as she stood up and waved to the boy, who ran towards her as fast as he could. One thing that Fate found interesting was the long bundle wrapped on his back. "I'm surprised that he got that through security."

"Bureau clearance, likely." Yuuno muttered softly, "plus your mom is really good at designing stuff that hides metal from being scanned. How do you think she's able to carry that dagger of hers everywhere?"

Blinking in confusion, Fate wondered what he meant by that, but shrugged it off as Erio stopped just in front of them, grinning at them. "Fate-san!" As soon as Fate stood up, Erio jumped forward and hugged her tightly, smiling as she hugged him back. "Mmmm! Missed you!"

"Missed you too, Erio." Fate smiled as she hugged him back. "Been taking lessons from Caro on how to butter someone up?"

Erio let go of the hug and shook his head. "Nah, haven't seen her since we left home." Grinning, Erio rubbed his hands together as his eyes seemed to glow in delight. "I hope Signum-san, Vita-san and Reinforce-san will keep their promise."

Fate sweat-dropped and scratched her cheek idly. "I'm sure that they will."

"Hey, boss, where's your midget?"

Yuuno blinked and looked around. "...I'm not sure."

"Bardiche?" Fate frowned softly. "Has any new planes come in yet?"

"Yes, sir, one just landed."

Erio blinked and pointed down the air port. "I'll go and get her." Before either of them could stop him, the boy ran off, causing Fate to sigh softly.

"Those kids..." She trailed off and shook her head as Yuuno followed behind her.

"Not that you're any different at times." Yuuno looked at Fate as she walked in front of him. He wasn't sure if it was his own hormones or Thoth's influence, but a large part of him wanted to reach out and grab Fate's rear end while she was walking. Thankfully, despite those urges, he had more control over himself.

Besides, he didn't want to have to take on Fate, Nanoha and Vita in a three-on-one fight again. He was still sore from the thought of that.

Fate turned back to look at him and had a small grin on her face. "You know... If we get a chance, we should play beach volley ball again."

Yuuno nodded, the game was fun, and seeing the girls in their swimsuits bouncing around on the beach was rather lovely.

Regardless of what anyone would say about Yuuno, he was a guy and the women around him were all incredibly beautiful, he couldn't help but look at them when they were in eye-catching swim wear.

(---)

"Caro..." Erio called out as he got to an escalator near where he saw Caro's plane touch down. "Private Ru Luche-Scrya!"

"Here!" Erio turned around to see Caro, in a white hooded cloak over a small pair of brown pants and shirt while lugging a giant, compared to her, duffel bag. "I'm, eeek!" She tripped over her own feet and lurched forward.

Erio's eyes widened. "Caro!" Everything suddenly slowed down for the boy as he used a spell that he was only taught once. The boy seemed to turn into a bolt of energy and he zipped up the escalator, bouncing off the sides as fast as he could, before reappearing at the top of the stairs and grabbing Caro before she fell off the stairs. Wrapping his arms around her, he spun so that he would land on his back and she would land on top of him, he grimaced as he felt his bundle push hard into his back. "Nnngh! You okay?" He blinked as his hands seemed to, somehow, end up grabbing her right on her chest to two very small and soft mounds.

Caro winced slightly. "Um, Erio-kun..." She got off of him and crossed her arms over her chest. "You squeezed too hard."

"Sorry, didn't mean to, you okay?" Erio looked at her in concern.

"KU!" A familiar Dragon popped out of the big duffel bag, before flying out and slamming its head into Erio's forehead. "Ku!"

"OWW!" Erio fell over and rubbed his forehead. "OWW! Dang it! Stupid attack Dragons!"

Caro giggled softly. "I'm sorry, Fried, bad Dragon. And Erio, it's okay, I'm okay, you just surprised me." Standing up, she smiled as Fried landed on her head before offering a hand to Erio. "Did you learn a lot?"

Erio nodded and grabbed her hand to stand up. "Yeah. Learned a lot, and grandma mailed this to me." He pointed to the bundle on his back. "Said that I earned it and can keep it if I promise to be a really good knight. How about you? Did you learn a lot?"

Caro nodded and grinned. "Uh huh! I even met a new Dragon summon! Now I got three!"

Erio's eyes lit up at that. "Awesome!" He then sweat-dropped lightly. "Just don't teach it to slam my head."

"Sure." Caro smiled and turned her head as she heard her name. "PAPA!" Her eyes lit up when she saw Yuuno step off the escalator and kneel down.

For a moment Erio thought that Caro used a sonic move with how fast she moved to hug Yuuno as tightly as she could. She moved so fast that Fried found himself laying on the ground, stars spinning around his eyes.

"PAPA!" Caro cried out happily, tears leaking out of her eyes. "Missed you!"

"Missed you too, Caro, missed you too." Yuuno smiled as he hugged her while rocking back and forth softly.

Two points: 1) To busy teaming up(...) -> Too busy (...)

2) Assuming Voltaire is the Caro's second summon, I wonder who is this third summon.

D'awww...Erio and Caro can be so adorable. Even though we know deep down that they've been corrupted by Lina, Fate, Yuuno, and Suzuka (or was it Alisa? =w=).

Also, Yuuno and Fate need to get a room. With Nanoha. Or Arf. Or Hayate and Reinforce. Or Vita, Shamal, and/or Signum. Or all of the above. XP

He blinked as his hands seemed to, somehow, end up grabbing her right on her chest to two very small and soft mounds.

Caro winced slightly. "Um, Erio-kun..." She got off of him and crossed her arms over her chest. "You squeezed too hard."

"Sorry, didn't mean to, you okay?" Erio looked at her in concern.

"KU!" A familiar Dragon popped out of the big duffel bag, before flying out and slamming its head into Erio's forehead. "Ku!"

"OWW!" Erio fell over and rubbed his forehead. "OWW! Dang it! Stupid attack Dragons!"

Caro giggled softly. "I'm sorry, Fried, bad Dragon. And Erio, it's okay, I'm okay, you just surprised me." Standing up, she smiled as Fried landed on her head before offering a hand to Erio. "Did you learn a lot?"

Erio nodded and grabbed her hand to stand up. "Yeah. Learned a lot, and grandma mailed this to me." He pointed to the bundle on his back. "Said that I earned it and can keep it if I promise to be a really good knight. How about you? Did you learn a lot?"

Caro nodded and grinned. "Uh huh! I even met a new Dragon summon! Now I got three!"

Erio's eyes lit up at that. "Awesome!" He then sweat-dropped lightly. "Just don't teach it to slam my head."

"Sure." Caro smiled and turned her head as she heard her name. "PAPA!" Her eyes lit up when she saw Yuuno step off the escalator and kneel down.

For a moment Erio thought that Caro used a sonic move with how fast she moved to hug Yuuno as tightly as she could. She moved so fast that Fried found himself laying on the ground, stars spinning around his eyes.

"PAPA!" Caro cried out happily, tears leaking out of her eyes. "Missed you!"

"Missed you too, Caro, missed you too." Yuuno smiled as he hugged her while rocking back and forth softly.

Me: One thing for certain, Yuuno's right.

Elane: About what?

Me: About being male and being surrounded with beautiful ladies will really make any male look at them.

Val: Did Lina taught Hidden Weapons Technique to Erio? Because it's one of the few ways to bypass security.

Odin: It's gonna be a tough training season for kids soon.

Three days later...

It was a fairly cool day as the wind blew through her short hair and caused her headband to flick around behind her. Pounding her right fist into her left palm, she bounced on her roller blades as she did some quick punches into the air in front of her.

"Subaru." Her partner said from behind her as she finished checking on her gun-like device. "If you don't calm down, you'll break your skates."

"Nah uh!" Subaru turned to face Teana, who was wearing a brown one-piece dress-like outfit. Subaru, herself, was in a halter top that was covered by a white jacket, short shorts that covered her hips and nothing else, and had knee pads on to protect her knees from what she was going to put them through. "You know that mom made sure that my roller blades are better than what we had in training."

"That's fine, but why did she give you one of her gauntlets anyway?" Teana asked as she looked the glove over. "I know it was a graduation present, but..."

"Mom's getting different ones for herself and gave Gin-nee one and me the other one, said that it would help us more."

Teana rolled her eyes and blinked as a large screen appeared in front of them.

"Oh!" A silver-haired, blue-eyed girl appeared on screen and smiled at them. "Are you two here to take the B-Rank test?"

"Yes, sir!" Both of them stood to attention.

"Good." She smiled at them. "Just to make sure, it's one Private Subaru Nakajima?"

"Yes!" Subaru nodded at the screen.

"And Private Teana Lanster?"

"Yes, sir!"

"I am Sergeant Major Reinforce Zwei Yagami." She saluted the two of them. "And I will be your supervising officer for today." She held up a finger while smiling. "Your mission is to go through the obstacle course," a small map appeared on screen, showing the area and a line giving the general path, "if you follow this path, you'll eventually end up where I am. You have to not only get to me before time is up, you'll have thirty minutes, but you also must take out all security drones and marked targets."

An image of small spheres appeared on the screen, as did some glass, full-body figures appeared on screen, some had red circles, others had blue triangles. "You are to only destroy the red circles, any others will count against you."

"Yes!"

Rein smiled at them. "Well, good luck and don't get hurt."

(---)

High above them, in a helicopter, Vita, in a brown suit jacket and miniskirt, yawned softly while cracking an eye open. Her long braided hair was over her shoulder as she held her arms behind her head. "So, how long is this?"

"About thirty minutes." Hayate, in a similar outfit, everyone who was sitting in the helicopter had on a similar outfit, signifying that they were from the same military branch, replied and looked at her. "And you shouldn't be so casual."

"Sorry, just a touch bored, I'd rather be back at base..." Vita trailed off at the look Hayate gave her. "I swear, I would have been good, I just wanted to get to know the place better."

"You would probably spend your time looking for the best make-out places when you weren't on duty."

"Signum!" Vita sat up, twitching and looking at the seat next to hers. "You'd be a lot more fun if you pulled Laevantein out of your butt more often and went on some dates or something."

Signum rolled her eyes at Vita. "I'm more comfortable not indulging your bad habits, thank you very much."

"That's not what you said a couple weeks ago." Vita shot to Signum telepathically and smirked as the pinkette blushed hard.

"Vita, stop teasing Signum, Signum, stop baiting Vita, or I'll make the two of you suffer through Shamal's newest attempt at fancy cooking." Hayate had a tight grin on her face as the two turned away from each other, settling down. Some days, Hayate wondered how the heck Lina was able to deal with five kids, two grandchildren and the various guests that lived at her house for so long.

"Hmm, looks like they've split up." The last person in the helicopter said. "It'll be interesting to see what they can do alone."

"That girl needs a better gun." Vita commented as she looked at Teana while leaning to the side in her chair. "She reloads it too often and it's barely a storage device."

"Not everyone can afford a good quality device, Vita." Hayate replied, getting a nod from Vita.

"Oh, I know, I'm just saying that she won't last long in a real fight with a device like that." Vita didn't know why graduates weren't given upgraded devices at the very least. Even if it was a custom job, Teana's device was barely adequate for someone of C rank, much less the B rank she was aiming to get in this test.

"It's too bad that she's not a B rank mage." Signum commented softly. "She would have gotten a back-up weapon in case something happened to her device."

"Oh yeah, those Shine Swords." Hayate nodded at that. "Why haven't they only been given out to B rank mages anyway?"

"Mostly politics," Fate shook her head and sighed, "understandable concerns, however, about the chance of low-ranking, and thus not loyal, mages and knights leaving the Bureau for mercenary work would be a bad thing, plus it's not an emergency situation."

Vita watched, slightly bored, as Teana and Subaru met up again and started to take off towards the next set of obstacles. "I say we just fire whoever thought up that obstacles was a good way to test the level of someone and just get someone who's A rank to fight against these rookies." It made much more sense to her. "What? I wasn't allowed to be a knight until I beat my master in the past, Fate needed to fight against Chrono to get her AAA license, it makes a lot more sense than just doing something stupid like this."

"I never made the rules, and I guess people thought it was becoming too easy to get higher ranked." Hayate shrugged at Vita and watched as Teana and Subaru disappeared into the second part of the course. "Hmm, I wonder what they'll do here."

Vita shrugged at that. "Hmm, I wonder how much they know of magic other than Mid and Belkan?"

She got her answer a moment later when the area was quickly frozen due to Freezing Bullets from Teana, only to shatter when Subaru punched it with all her might. "Not bad." Vita could appreciate something like that, if only because she had been frozen more than once by her friends.

A moment later, the camera broke and Vita sighed heavily. "Dammit, that was the only thing entertaining."

(---)

Minutes later...

Subaru stood on the top of a building that was several hundred yards in front of her. "I can't fly, and I can't fight at long range, all I really have are my fists and my mother's fighting style." She closed her eyes before snapping them open, a determined look crossing her features. "But!" A Belkan triangle appeared under her feet and for some reason, she thought she was hearing dramatic music being played. "I can't let that stop me. I will be strong, stronger than even mama is. Wing... ROAAAAD!"

A blue strip of magic shot out in front of Subaru that didn't stop until it slammed into the building that was her target. "Let's GO!" The gears on her gauntlet started to spin as she rushed forward as fast as possible. Reaching the wall where her Wing Road was stopped, she punched forward, shattering through the stone wall and saw multiple copies of Teana, due to the latter's skill in illusion magic, standing around a large, ball-like machine thing.

Punching forward, she let out a yell as the shield was holding strong against her attack. "NNNGGGGGAAAAAHHH!" She let out a scream as she was able to open her gauntlet-covered fingers and push through the barrier, before grabbing it and pulling back, shattering it into pieces. When the thing fired at her, she was forced to do some back flips to get away from it. "Now, to keep you from moving!"

A blue triangle appeared under her and Subaru grinned as she called up her secret weapon. The only downside to the spell was that she wasn't sure if she could pull it off correctly or not. Especially since the last time that she did it, it exploded in her face. That had been one long and painful trip to the emergency room for that. "Strike... CHAIN!"

Two blue chains with sharp tips shot up through the ground around the fat ball, floating upwards until they were above it before slamming down, through it, at an angle and crossing past each other on the inside, forming an 'X' pattern and anchoring itself to the floor.

"With a single blow... DESTROY!" Subaru let out a screech as a ball of flame formed in her left hand and a blue magic sphere appeared in her right. "Flame..." She tossed the fireball upwards gently before rolling back a few centimeters back and lobbing the blue sphere forward. "Sphere..." Subaru quickly spun around in a complete circle and rushed forward, her right hand covered in energy before she lashed out with her fist, connecting with the ball of energy as it and the fireball connected at that moment. "BREAKER!"

As the energy built up, Subaru's only hope was that this wouldn't explode in her face like it did last time.

Her worries were unfounded as a jet of pure flame shot out, hitting the large drone and expanded, instantly incinerating it and engulfing the Teana images.

"Alright!" Subaru grinned at her work. "That worked and..." Her eyes widened as the wave of fire came right at her. "EEEK! Running, running!" Turning around, she shot for the hole that she created on her way there. "Wing Road!" She wasn't as good as her mother or Ginga at creating this move on the fly, but at the moment, she didn't have a choice.

When the road appeared under her feet, she was thankful that she didn't screw it up.

When the building exploded moments later, Subaru wondered if maybe that spell wasn't meant for close quarters.

(---)

Minutes later...

Reinforce Zwei looked at the time and nodded. "Still thirty seconds, they still have time." Granted, not a lot and if they didn't hurry...

Her thoughts trailed off as she looked down the highway. "Ah! I see them!" She smiled as the last target between them and the end was destroyed. "Good, now they just have to..." She sweat-dropped as they started to pick up speed. "Get across the finish line. I just hope they have good breaks."

She sighed as she heard them screaming loudly. "Guess they don't." Well, it was going to suck, having to fail them just because they were too reckless, though, at their current pace, they might make it across the finish line before time was up. "Mouuu... They did good too." She pouted, before blinking as several blue chains appeared between her and the two girls as they zoomed past the finish line. "Huh?"

Rein Zwei blinked several times as the chains managed to slow the girls down enough to keep them from crashing into the wall behind her.

"See? Told you I could make breaks!" Subaru said, giggling softly. "And they didn't hurt either." She yelped as Teana cracked her on the head with her gun. "Oww! Tea! What was that for?!"

"Scaring me half to death!" Teana said as she gingerly hobbled away from Subaru. "Dang twisted ankle." Why did that have to happen while she was doing the test? Why couldn't it happen some other time? Like, never.

Subaru just rubbed the spot where Teana hit her and giggled nervously.

"Well, I have to admit," a male voice spoke up, causing Subaru and Teana to turn to face the newcomer, "that was quite the interesting use of a chain bind."

"Yuuno-san." Subaru said, her face flushing, before she shook her head and saluted the man who saved her life.

Teana mentally groaned, if Subaru started to act like a fan girl now, they might be failed just for that.

She just hoped not.

"As for your test," Reinforce Zwei looked at the two of them, before smiling, "you did pass, but I'd like it if you two would be more careful out there, okay?" She smiled as their eyes lit up in joy. "Yuuno, you want to tell them the other news?"

Subaru and Teana both blinked as Yuuno smiled at them. "Well, Rein is right, there is one other piece of news... Teana Lanster," he frowned as he saw her favoring her right ankle, "Rein, can you heal her ankle for her?"

"Sure!" The small device zipped over to Teana and had her sit down so she could heal the damages properly.

"And you, Subaru Nakajima, are both invited to join the new Riot Force that myself and several others are making up." Both girls blinked in surprise and Yuuno smiled at them. "How about it? Care to join an elite group of the military? It's a one-year gig, and when you're done, you'll be almost assured to get a high ranking position in any division after you're done."

"SURE!" Subaru was overjoyed and her eyes sparkling in happiness. "Tea!"

Teana smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I'd like that."

Yuuno smiled and looked up as a helicopter came down towards them. "Well then," the door opened up, revealing Hayate, Vita, Signum and Fate, "welcome to the Riot Force."

She closed her eyes before snapping them open, a determined look crossing her features. "But!" A Belkan triangle appeared under her feet and for some reason, she thought she was hearing dramatic music being played. "I can't let that stop me. I will be strong, stronger than even mama is.

Rein smiled at them. "Well, good luck and don't get hurt."

(---)

High above them, in a helicopter, Vita, in a brown suit jacket and miniskirt, yawned softly while cracking an eye open. Her long braided hair was over her shoulder as she held her arms behind her head. "So, how long is this?"

"About thirty minutes." Hayate, in a similar outfit, everyone who was sitting in the helicopter had on a similar outfit, signifying that they were from the same military branch, replied and looked at her. "And you shouldn't be so casual."

"Sorry, just a touch bored, I'd rather be back at base..." Vita trailed off at the look Hayate gave her. "I swear, I would have been good, I just wanted to get to know the place better."

"You would probably spend your time looking for the best make-out places when you weren't on duty."

"Signum!" Vita sat up, twitching and looking at the seat next to hers. "You'd be a lot more fun if you pulled Laevantein out of your butt more often and went on some dates or something."

Signum rolled her eyes at Vita. "I'm more comfortable not indulging your bad habits, thank you very much."

"That's not what you said a couple weeks ago." Vita shot to Signum telepathically and smirked as the pinkette blushed hard.

"Vita, stop teasing Signum, Signum, stop baiting Vita, or I'll make the two of you suffer through Shamal's newest attempt at fancy cooking." Hayate had a tight grin on her face as the two turned away from each other, settling down. Some days, Hayate wondered how the heck Lina was able to deal with five kids, two grandchildren and the various guests that lived at her house for so long.

"Hmm, looks like they've split up." The last person in the helicopter said. "It'll be interesting to see what they can do alone."

"That girl needs a better gun." Vita commented as she looked at Teana while leaning to the side in her chair. "She reloads it too often and it's barely a storage device."

"Not everyone can afford a good quality device, Vita." Hayate replied, getting a nod from Vita.

"Oh, I know, I'm just saying that she won't last long in a real fight with a device like that." Vita didn't know why graduates weren't given upgraded devices at the very least. Even if it was a custom job, Teana's device was barely adequate for someone of C rank, much less the B rank she was aiming to get in this test.

"It's too bad that she's not a B rank mage." Signum commented softly. "She would have gotten a back-up weapon in case something happened to her device."

"Oh yeah, those Shine Swords." Hayate nodded at that. "Why haven't they only been given out to B rank mages anyway?"

"Mostly politics," Fate shook her head and sighed, "understandable concerns, however, about the chance of low-ranking, and thus not loyal, mages and knights leaving the Bureau for mercenary work would be a bad thing, plus it's not an emergency situation."

Vita watched, slightly bored, as Teana and Subaru met up again and started to take off towards the next set of obstacles. "I say we just fire whoever thought up that obstacles was a good way to test the level of someone and just get someone who's A rank to fight against these rookies." It made much more sense to her. "What? I wasn't allowed to be a knight until I beat my master in the past, Fate needed to fight against Chrono to get her AAA license, it makes a lot more sense than just doing something stupid like this."

"I never made the rules, and I guess people thought it was becoming too easy to get higher ranked." Hayate shrugged at Vita and watched as Teana and Subaru disappeared into the second part of the course. "Hmm, I wonder what they'll do here."

Vita shrugged at that. "Hmm, I wonder how much they know of magic other than Mid and Belkan?"

She got her answer a moment later when the area was quickly frozen due to Freezing Bullets from Teana, only to shatter when Subaru punched it with all her might. "Not bad." Vita could appreciate something like that, if only because she had been frozen more than once by her friends.

A moment later, the camera broke and Vita sighed heavily. "Dammit, that was the only thing entertaining."

(---)

Minutes later...

Subaru stood on the top of a building that was several hundred yards in front of her. "I can't fly, and I can't fight at long range, all I really have are my fists and my mother's fighting style." She closed her eyes before snapping them open, a determined look crossing her features. "But!" A Belkan triangle appeared under her feet and for some reason, she thought she was hearing dramatic music being played. "I can't let that stop me. I will be strong, stronger than even mama is. Wing... ROAAAAD!"

A blue strip of magic shot out in front of Subaru that didn't stop until it slammed into the building that was her target. "Let's GO!" The gears on her gauntlet started to spin as she rushed forward as fast as possible. Reaching the wall where her Wing Road was stopped, she punched forward, shattering through the stone wall and saw multiple copies of Teana, due to the latter's skill in illusion magic, standing around a large, ball-like machine thing.

Punching forward, she let out a yell as the shield was holding strong against her attack. "NNNGGGGGAAAAAHHH!" She let out a scream as she was able to open her gauntlet-covered fingers and push through the barrier, before grabbing it and pulling back, shattering it into pieces. When the thing fired at her, she was forced to do some back flips to get away from it. "Now, to keep you from moving!"

A blue triangle appeared under her and Subaru grinned as she called up her secret weapon. The only downside to the spell was that she wasn't sure if she could pull it off correctly or not. Especially since the last time that she did it, it exploded in her face. That had been one long and painful trip to the emergency room for that. "Strike... CHAIN!"

Two blue chains with sharp tips shot up through the ground around the fat ball, floating upwards until they were above it before slamming down, through it, at an angle and crossing past each other on the inside, forming an 'X' pattern and anchoring itself to the floor.

"With a single blow... DESTROY!" Subaru let out a screech as a ball of flame formed in her left hand and a blue magic sphere appeared in her right. "Flame..." She tossed the fireball upwards gently before rolling back a few centimeters back and lobbing the blue sphere forward. "Sphere..." Subaru quickly spun around in a complete circle and rushed forward, her right hand covered in energy before she lashed out with her fist, connecting with the ball of energy as it and the fireball connected at that moment. "BREAKER!"

As the energy built up, Subaru's only hope was that this wouldn't explode in her face like it did last time.

Her worries were unfounded as a jet of pure flame shot out, hitting the large drone and expanded, instantly incinerating it and engulfing the Teana images.

"Alright!" Subaru grinned at her work. "That worked and..." Her eyes widened as the wave of fire came right at her. "EEEK! Running, running!" Turning around, she shot for the hole that she created on her way there. "Wing Road!" She wasn't as good as her mother or Ginga at creating this move on the fly, but at the moment, she didn't have a choice.

When the road appeared under her feet, she was thankful that she didn't screw it up.

When the building exploded moments later, Subaru wondered if maybe that spell wasn't meant for close quarters.

(---)

Minutes later...

Reinforce Zwei looked at the time and nodded. "Still thirty seconds, they still have time." Granted, not a lot and if they didn't hurry...

Her thoughts trailed off as she looked down the highway. "Ah! I see them!" She smiled as the last target between them and the end was destroyed. "Good, now they just have to..." She sweat-dropped as they started to pick up speed. "Get across the finish line. I just hope they have good breaks."

She sighed as she heard them screaming loudly. "Guess they don't." Well, it was going to suck, having to fail them just because they were too reckless, though, at their current pace, they might make it across the finish line before time was up. "Mouuu... They did good too." She pouted, before blinking as several blue chains appeared between her and the two girls as they zoomed past the finish line. "Huh?"

Rein Zwei blinked several times as the chains managed to slow the girls down enough to keep them from crashing into the wall behind her.

"See? Told you I could make breaks!" Subaru said, giggling softly. "And they didn't hurt either." She yelped as Teana cracked her on the head with her gun. "Oww! Tea! What was that for?!"

"Scaring me half to death!" Teana said as she gingerly hobbled away from Subaru. "Dang twisted ankle." Why did that have to happen while she was doing the test? Why couldn't it happen some other time? Like, never.

Subaru just rubbed the spot where Teana hit her and giggled nervously.

"Well, I have to admit," a male voice spoke up, causing Subaru and Teana to turn to face the newcomer, "that was quite the interesting use of a chain bind."

"Yuuno-san." Subaru said, her face flushing, before she shook her head and saluted the man who saved her life.

Teana mentally groaned, if Subaru started to act like a fan girl now, they might be failed just for that.

She just hoped not.

"As for your test," Reinforce Zwei looked at the two of them, before smiling, "you did pass, but I'd like it if you two would be more careful out there, okay?" She smiled as their eyes lit up in joy. "Yuuno, you want to tell them the other news?"

Subaru and Teana both blinked as Yuuno smiled at them. "Well, Rein is right, there is one other piece of news... Teana Lanster," he frowned as he saw her favoring her right ankle, "Rein, can you heal her ankle for her?"

"Sure!" The small device zipped over to Teana and had her sit down so she could heal the damages properly.

"And you, Subaru Nakajima, are both invited to join the new Riot Force that myself and several others are making up." Both girls blinked in surprise and Yuuno smiled at them. "How about it? Care to join an elite group of the military? It's a one-year gig, and when you're done, you'll be almost assured to get a high ranking position in any division after you're done."

"SURE!" Subaru was overjoyed and her eyes sparkling in happiness. "Tea!"

Teana smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I'd like that."

Yuuno smiled and looked up as a helicopter came down towards them. "Well then," the door opened up, revealing Hayate, Vita, Signum and Fate, "welcome to the Riot Force."

Spoiler for Comments:

Yes, this was basically copy+paste from canon with some changes.

I decided to not show anything other than what was different.

*Shrug*

Take it or leave it, but I saw no point in just showing what you can see in canon anyway.

StrikerS episode 1 if you forgot.

Me: That's one way of slowing down, like a fighter plane returning back to it's carrier.

Odin: I suppose that She won't be Gai's disciple but Kamina's disciple instead.

"I'm... Surprised." Teana said as she, Subaru, Rein and Yuuno were in the helicopter with Signum, Vita, Hayate and Fate. "That you would accept us so easily."

"Don't be," Signum looked at her. "You were recommended to us by your old teacher, and seeing you and Nakajima out there, I think you do have some potential." Teana blushed at that, she wasn't used to getting such praise from her superiors.

"Course," Vita smirked at the two rookies as she leaned against the side of her chair, "you two aren't anything too special yet."

"Vita!" Hayate yelled at her, causing Vita to look away. Sighing, Hayate looked at Teana and Subaru. "Despite her frank words, she means well. As for you two, you'll be joining two others to learn from some of the best ever." For some reason, Subaru and Teana could have sworn that the light was dimming around Hayate and her eyes seemed to flash as she grinned at them. "Of course, we'll have to have you two try on lots of different outfits first and foremost!"

"They won't be as cute as Caro and Erio were."

"Of course not," Hayate grinned while cupping her chin, "I think I'll go for the sexy look on the two of them, really get some mileage out of what possible service shots I can get away with."

Signum just sighed as Teana seemed to get afraid of Hayate. "Just relax, she won't do that, unless you get out of line, then you'll have to worry." She mentally snorted as the two nodded to her. Idly, Signum wondered how fun it would be to see the two get really nervous at the thought of making Hayate angry.

It was almost enough to make her laugh.

Subaru was going to say something when a building outside caught her attention, turning her head, her eyes widened at the sheer size of the building. "Woah!"

Fate smiled at Subaru's reaction. "That's the Riot Force headquarters."

"Is that thing eighteen stories tall?" Subaru blinked, she had been in a lot of tall buildings, but seeing two tall buildings, side by side scrawling upwards, was rather impressive.

"Twenty four stories tall, four stories under ground." Yuuno spoke and looked at her curiously. "It's not that large, is it?"

"Most Bureau buildings aren't more than eight stories tall, this thing dwarfs them." Subaru looked at him. "The Ground Forces headquarters is, I think, twenty five stories tall, but it's just one building, this is two side by side!" She blushed when he smiled and nodded at her.

"This is true. Guess I got used to seeing buildings that were at least this tall all the time back on Earth."

Seeing Subaru turn away and try to hide a blush on her face, Teana felt the urge to sigh heavily. 'Just because she's talking to the guy she practically built a shrine over...' She thought to herself, looking out the window and idly wondering what Sein was doing. Even if it had been a long while since she had seen the other girl, they were friends and the fact that Sein had disappeared with a note saying that she was sorry about leaving and that Teana had been right about her brother really did hurt.

Even if it gave her new determination. If this group could help her just find out who murdered her brother, she'd feel a lot better about her lot in life.

"Anyway," Fate spoke up to the group, "I hope it's not too sudden, but as we're in a state of chaos at the moment, myself and your other superiors would like to do some training with you two and the other two who will be joining you."

"Not at all." Subaru grinned at Fate. "I'd love to!" She looked at Teana, who could only nod as well.

"Yes, I wouldn't mind it either."

Teana wished she could take that back a moment later when she felt the air literally start to get heavy with anticipation. There wasn't a change on anyone's face or body posture, but for some reason, Teana felt like she was going to hate the next few days.

(---)

Later in the day...

'Hate', Teana decided as she tried to pick herself up from being knocked around by Vita again, 'is too weak of a word.'

The only comfort Teana had from all of this was that Subaru was also picking herself off the ground from trying to beat the same redhead, who was still in that long-sleeved red jacket and black pants. One thing that Teana found completely unfair was that Vita was completely unarmed and tossing them around so easily.

A quick glance to the side had Yuuno facing off against a small pink haired girl named Caro and a short redheaded boy named Erio. One thing that Teana found weird was that Caro, despite being in the same gray training pants and white shirt combination that everyone but Vita was in, had this weird smile on her face.

Well, Erio did as well, but that spear in his hands looked rather weird, way different than any standard Bureau spear she had ever seen.

"Oi, you two done already?" Vita shook her head in disgust. "Really, this is all you can do? I could have beaten the two of you stupid when I was eight years old, not that it's too hard, considering the lack of intelligence you two have."

Vita grinned as Teana and Subaru both stood up, anger clouding their faces. "Wow, I think I hit a sore spot," she turned her head to look back at Signum and smirked, "think they're mad?"

"Perhaps." Signum smirked as Vita twisted to avoid a punch from Teana and held up a hand to casually block a shot from Teana.

"Lesson one, kiddos, psychological warfare is something that we all deal with. Whether its to get someone mad, terrified or disheartened, we all deal with it and use it to our advantage." Vita grabbed Subaru by her pants, pulled up hard, causing the girl to let out a scream of pain as her underwear was pulled up hard against her crotch and between her butt-cheeks before tossing her into Teana at such high speeds that they created a deep trench in the ground. "Really, we've only been out here for about," she turned to look at Signum again, "how long?"

"Twenty minutes, Vita." Signum rolled her eyes as Teana and Subaru, the latter reaching into her pants to adjust her panties, stood back up.

Subaru didn't get a chance to fix her underwear completely as several flying metal spheres came rushing towards them.

"Twenty minutes?" Vita turned back to smirk at the girls as they moved to avoid her attack. "Come on, those two kids can last longer than you two have!"

"Why..." Teana asked as she ducked another attack. "So hard?"

Vita smirked at them as she flew right at them. "This," the next thing Teana knew, Vita's fist was in her stomach, causing her to fly off her feet and into the air.

"Tea!" Subaru cried out, before letting out a yelp of pain as Vita grabbed her panties directly and yanked them up, driving them against her crotch and ass more tightly.

"Is to get a gauge of what sorry weaklings we're working with." Vita had a nasty grin on her face as she held out her arm and caught Teana with ease. "Take the rest of the day off and relax."

Signum raised an eyebrow as she walked over to them. "Went a little hard on them, didn't you?"

"Oh please, you and I both know that our spars with each other are a lot worse than that." Vita rolled her eyes and turned to look at Subaru and Teana's shocked faces. "Get used to it, kiddos, you two will probably hate us when we're done, but you're going to be amongst the best when we're done."

"As sad as it is," Signum continued to speak as she noted Erio get knocked away by Yuuno's shield and Caro ended up with her feet frozen to the ground, keeping her from moving, "we don't have time to mess around with you two. Training from tomorrow out will be closer to your level, but still punishing at the same time."

The two nodded at that. "But, it was so short and..."

Signum shook her head, interrupting Teana. "Push you too hard and your body won't be able to respond, so, you two, take some time and jog back to headquarters, get washed up, eat and get plenty of rest, okay?"

Vita rolled her eyes after all of the rookies had left. "They've got some potential. If they were normal B ranks, they wouldn't have lasted ten minutes."

Signum nodded and looked at Yuuno. "What do you think?"

"They've improved," he said, thinking about Caro and Erio, "at the very least, they forced me to actually take a couple of steps back and fight back for once."

Vita grinned at that. "Well then... This isn't a waste of time after all, I might have some fun then..."

"...You're not going to wear nothing but a thin tank-top and tight shorts again, are you?" Signum asked, getting a smirk from Vita at that. "...At least wear a bra this time."

"Oh, come on..." Vita started to walk away with her hands crossed over the back of her head, her long, braided hair bounced off her rear as she walked. "I think that everyone enjoys it when I'm like that." She turned to see both Yuuno and Signum looking away from her. "Heh, got'cha."

"Yuuno..." Signum narrowed her eyes as she called out Laevantein. "I think we need to... Punish Vita."

"Ja!"

"Sounds good to me." Yuuno grinned as he activated Thoth's real form.

"Does it involve lots of chains, no clothes and lots of fun?"

Vita called up Graf Eisen and smirked at them. "Bring it on. Let's go, Eisen!"

"Jawol!"

(---)

Hours later...

Nanoha frowned as she saw Yuuno, Signum and Vita, all three of them in extremely tattered and dirty clothes, walk through the doors. "...You had a three-way and didn't invite me?! How could you?!"

Considering that Vita's top threatened to tear open, Signum looked like her clothes would disintegrate and Yuuno's pants looked like a wild animal got at them, it didn't take long for the rumors to start flying.

[NorthernFallout]

So, I’m used to horror, gore and action. I’ve never written romance. Ever.

So here is a romance short. Set after Force, somewhere. And no gore. I’m totally serious. Very short, too.

Ergo, I have no idea what I’m doing.

Spoiler for As It Should Be:

It had been a month of hard work and late hours. Cases had been closed and criminals had been arrested. It never really seemed to calm down, no matter how much effort they put into it. For Erio, who had just about finished the last report in the huge pile in front of him, a vacation awaited him the following day. The feeling of having accomplished a lot of work, and knowing that a reward was waiting for said work, had kept his spirits high the past weeks.

“Erio, are you done?”

He peaked his head up as he signed the last report. Fate was standing in the doorway. “Yes, Fate,” he said and put the report in the pile. “All done for today.”

“Thanks for your hard work, Erio. Looking forward to tomorrow?”

“Very much.” He stood up at his desk and stretched. “It’s going to be good to get away from this. If only for a few days.”

“I can imagine,” Fate said and checked her watch. “I’m sorry, I need to be somewhere. Call me if anything comes up, alright?”

Erio nodded. “I will, Fate.”

She left, leaving Erio to clean up his desk and put on his coat. The weather outside had shifted from sunny to the beginning of rain. Heavy clouds had moved in during the afternoon, threatening to unleash rain upon Cranagan, just as the weather report had said that morning.

He picked up his umbrella next to the door as he left the office. He just had one stop before heading home, and her office was just down the hall. He leaned the umbrella on his shoulder as he walked, letting his happy mood show. As he arrived at the office he peaked inside.

“Caro.”

She turned around at his voice. She had been putting on her coat as he had uttered her name. “Erio! Are you done for today?”

“Yes. Should we go?”

“Yeah.”

She joined in beside him as they walked through the floor and called for the elevator. They chit-chatted between themselves while they waited. When the elevator arrived they continued their chat on the way downward, Caro giggling at the joke Erio had just told. On the ground floor they joined the groups of people leaving for the day as well, waving and chatting with fellow mages. Once they said their goodbyes, they emerged onto the parking lot where they took a left, towards the outskirt of the city.

Their respective apartments were close to each other, so they always joined up on the way home, which they had for such a long time that neither of them could remember when they hadn’t. Erio had come to think about it earlier. In fact, he had thought about it months before and had come to a decision. He even had a feeling that Caro had come to a decision too. He’d been close to her long enough to see the hints in her behaviour. But even if he knew that, he didn’t know how to say it.

As they walked along the pavement, neither of them speaking, lost in their own thoughts, the clouds began to grow darker. Anticipating rain at any second, Erio folded out his umbrella, but Caro didn’t do the same.

“Caro, don’t you have your umbrella with you today?”

She sighed and shrugged. “It got so hectic this morning I forgot all about it. Silly me,” she finished and giggled.

Erio saw the first drip of the rain on the pavement in front of him and shifted the umbrella to his other hand, covering himself and Caro.

“Thanks,” she said as the rain started to spatter against the fabric over their heads. Soon it got worse and hail started to fall. They had begun to jog at that time, trying to avoid the worst of what was to come. The umbrella didn’t help much against it, not with the wind that had also started to increase.

“Where did this come from?” Erio mumbled and peered ahead of them. “I see a bus stop up ahead. Let’s take cover there until the worst has passed.”

Caro nodded beside him and they jogged up to the small bus booth, where Erio lowered his umbrella and shook it. It was drenched, similar to how the lower parts of their pants were. The water dripped from them as they sat down on the bench. They shook their clothes and emptied their shoes which had been filled with water.

Meanwhile the rain continued to fall and the wind screamed around them as it passed among the buildings. It had come so sudden and strong. Erio had seen storms gathering at a few minutes notice, but that had been on Supools. On Cranagan it had to be a rare occurrence.

“What are you going to do on your vacation?” Caro asked, rustling him from his thoughts.

“I don’t really know. Just relax, I guess. It’s just for a few days anyway.”

Caro was fidgeting with her hands. “I wish I was free too...”

“Yeah...”

They both fell quiet again and Erio felt uneasy. They didn’t talk a lot when they were together usually, but today he felt more pressure. Trying think of something to say he turned his head and noticed she was shivering. She was wearing lighter clothing than he was and the water had gotten through easier. He started unbuttoning his jacket.

“Oh, I’m OK,” Caro said, noticing him, “I don’t need-”

“You’re shaking.” Erio finished removing his jacket and put it over her shoulders. “It might help a bit.”

“Thank you, Erio...”

That awkward silence again. Erio felt the tension between them and tried to find the words to break it.

“How long have we known each other?” he asked.

Caro pondered for a moment, then smiled. “More than ten years, I think. A long time... Erio, why do you ask all of a sudden?”

“I was just wondering because I couldn’t remember the last time we weren’t together.”

Caro fell quiet and fidgeted with her hands again. A minute passed where nothing was said, the sound of the rain being the only thing that filled the bus booth. Eventually she moved a bit closer and placed her hand on his. She didn’t look at him. She kept looking down into the ground as if pondering what to do next.

“Caro...” Erio whispered.

“Erio, I...” She stopped and took a deep breath. Erio waited until she spoke again. “I think, starting some years ago, I hid what I felt. From myself. I should have said something sooner, but... I don’t know why I did, Erio.” She turned to him, her cheeks flushing a faint red, and looked him deep in the eyes. “Erio, I lo-”

He went for the kiss, then. He stopped her mid-sentence with a very soft, but long, kiss, merely touching her lips with his. Caro, whose hand still lay on Erio’s, slid her fingers into his, intertwining them. They stayed like that for a full minute before relinquishing their hold. Erio was the first to break the silence.

“I love you too, Caro,” he whispered and smiled at her. “I think I always have, but, like you, I hid it.” Caro giggled and hugged him, allowing his arms to slide around her waist in a tight embrace.

They sat there as the clouds began to move away from the city, taking the rain and wind with it. Soon only the sound of dripping water remained, along with the small puddles on the empty street. The warmth that had accumulated during the day had gone away, leaving them with a chill akin to a day in autumn.

They let each other go and stood up. Both of them were blushing hard and no words were said between them. All they did was clasp each others’ hands and resume their walk home.

I am now embarrassed. I need to cleanse myself now *goes to write gore and laughs manically*

Cute, very cute.

That's all I need to say on that.

The next morning...

Teana rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as she, Subaru, Caro, that small Dragon of hers and Erio, all walked out onto the training field. Her eyes widened and the tiredness in her mind cleared in an instant as she saw who was waiting for them. "Instructor Zelgadis!"

The man nodded at her while he had his arms crossed over his chest. "Good to see you this morning as well, Teana Lanster, Subaru Nakajima," he looked at the two shortest people on the field and raised an eyebrow, "and you two are?"

"Erio Mondial," the boy with the bundle strapped to his back saluted Zelgadis.

"Caro Lu Ruche-Scrya," the girl with pink hair and a small Dragon floating next to her saluted him. "This is Fried."

"Ku."

Zelgadis smirked and looked at the woman by his side, "you have anything to say, Nanoha?"

Turning, Nanoha smiled at them. "Well, yesterday, they went up against Yuuno and Vita in training," Nanoha smiled lightly as she saw the four of them look down, "but that was just to get an idea of where they're at."

Zelgadis nodded as a city seemed to materialize over the water. "Well, today's early training will be easy," he smirked at them as they looked up at him, "your mission today... Is to defeat me."

The four stared as Zelgadis jumped upwards and flew into the holographic city.

"Is he serious?" Teana looked at Nanoha, who merely raised an eyebrow at them.

"I think he is, you might want to hurry." Nanoha smiled as the four of them disappeared into the virtual city. "...And now, for the fun part." She chuckled softly and floated upwards above the city. "This might be interesting." Idly she wondered how they would take it, before shrugging it off.

If they couldn't handle this level of training they probably would never be ready for anything truly dangerous.

Like Vita when she was going through PMS.

(---)

Zelgadis had his eyes closed while he hovered a few inches off of the ground. His arms were crossed over his chest as he mentally sought out each of the trainees. 'Let's see, Erio is behind me, Subaru just in front of me, both out of sight, that's good, Teana is...' His thoughts trailed off and he grinned before spinning around and pointing right at where Teana was hiding. "Flare Arrow!"

Hearing Teana yelp and jump out of the building, Zelgadis was glad that the holographic city was full of abandoned and decayed buildings.

It made it easier to watch the buildings explode from various spells.

"Fried, Blast Flare!" Zelgadis turned his head to see the small Dragon fire a ball of flame at him.

He merely chuckled as the fire dissipated against his barrier before turning as Erio popped out and zipped right at him. "Diem Wind!" There was no point in ripping out the large spells yet, these kids needed to get a handle on things first.

Zelgadis was surprised that Erio managed to avoid the attack by jumping straight up. "Levitation, huh?"

"Subaru, now!" Erio called out and Zelgadis turned his head to see Subaru rushing right up at him.

"Revolver..." Subaru pulled her arm back to strike at Zelgadis, who was merely smirking at her. Just as Subaru was beginning to wonder what that was about, she was bombarded from above with several pink spheres that crashed down around her, causing her to lose her balance and have to jump to the side to keep from being blown up.

"Even the most simple of tasks can suddenly become difficult if something unexpected happens." Zelgadis turned and suddenly took off running at a speed that left most people astonished. "Like if your enemy decides to target one of your group instead of anyone at random." He jumped off the ground and ran across a wall before flipping and landing on his feet behind Teana, who had been ducking into an alley to get more cover.

Teana could only stare as Zelgadis grabbed her forehead, his hand glowing a soft blue color. "I have one of your teammates, if you all surrender, I won't flash freeze her skull." While holding Teana by her forehead, he walked out into the street to show off his prized catch. "So, tell me, what do you do?"

Subaru growled and clenched her fists. If only she knew what to do she could... Her thoughts trailed off as she got an idea and held up her hands. "Well, I don't think I can..."

Erio was kneeling and chanting softly. "Earth below me, submit to my will..."

Subaru snapped her hand out and Zelgadis found a chain wrapped around his neck tightly, pulling on him. "Chain bind!"

"Dug Haut!" Erio cried out and grinned as the ground under Zelgadis shook and a stone spike shot up, forcing him to let go of Teana and take a step back.

Not wasting any time, Teana took a few steps back before turning and firing at him, what shocked her though was that he kicked the stone spike, causing it to fall and become a shield that blocked her attack with ease. Her eyes widened as the stone spike suddenly levitated upwards and Zelgadis was revealed looking just fine, no chain around his neck at all.

Smirking at them, he nodded, pleased at them. "Very good teamwork there, all of you."

"How come Nanoha-san interfered?!" Subaru yelled as the mage in question descended down and sat on the spike that Zelgadis was levitating.

"Because you're going to have enemies who appear out of nowhere and will strike you down without warning." Nanoha said, her eyes narrowed as memories of what Gaav did to her came back to her mind. "Despite this, you four were still able to function, even with one member in jeopardy of being killed, that's good."

Making the stone spike fly backwards and forcing Nanoha to get off of it, Zelgadis smirked at them. "But, we're not done yet. Let a little praise get to your head and you won't last more than a few minutes here!"

(---)

"So, how are they doing?" Signum asked as she walked up behind Reinforce, who merely turned to look at her.

"Could be worse." She nodded at the pinkette. "Don't you have a mission?"

"Yes, a simple one, Testarossa and I shall be back in three days."

Reinforce nodded at her. "Be careful out there, Signum." She knew Signum wouldn't need to be, but she still worried about her family.

"I'll be fine, Reinforce." Signum turned to walk away. "But... Thank you for worrying about me."

As she watched Signum leave, Reinforce called up a screen and looked at who was out. 'Let's see, Vita is meeting up with those two, they'll be here by this afternoon...'

This Riot Force was looking more interesting by the moment.

(---)

That afternoon...

"Ugh, more training..." Teana groaned as she stretched her legs out.

"Could be worse," Erio spoke up as he lay his spear, which was unwrapped, to the side, "we could have to clean the kitchen up."

Nodding, Teana sweat-dropped heavily. "I guess so... What is that spear, I never saw anything like it in training."

Erio blinked and looked at it, smiling. "Oh, you wouldn't. Grandma gave me that spear, said that I earned it after I decided to go get some basic training... Plus it likes me."

"Likes you?" Teana blinked at that as Erio nodded and gripped his spear after he was done stretching. "How?"

"I don't know," Erio scratched his head, "but I can tell that it likes me."

"That's weird," a new female voice spoke up and Erio, Teana, Caro and Subaru turned to see two new girls walking towards them, "I always thought that Fried liked you, since he headbutted you so often."

"Arisa-mama!" Caro squealed in joy and ran towards the short-haired blonde, hugging her tightly. "What are you doing here?"

Arisa hugged Caro back tightly. "Well, I'm here to use my magic more effectively, plus I didn't want to miss out on seeing you again." She smiled as Caro blushed and buried her face into Arisa's stomach. "And Suzuka here just wanted to come with and be part of the group."

Suzuka waved at them. "Hello." She smiled at them peacefully.

For some reason, Teana was really starting to wonder about this Riot Force division that she was a part of. "...Why do I have the feeling that things aren't as they appear around here?"

"It's probably a good idea to think that." A female voice said as two people walked up behind Suzuka and Arisa.

"M...Mom?!" Subaru stood up, her eyes wide at the sight of her mother in the same training outfit the rest of them had on.

Quint smirked at Subaru. "Good to see you too, dear, but don't think I'll go easy on you."

"Thankfully the afternoon's easier than the morning for you guys." A familiar and almost unwelcome voice said as Vita came into view.

Whatever Subaru was going to say died on her lips as she practically choked on her tongue. Vita was in a very tight black tank top that seemed molded to her very nice breasts and biker shorts that revealed all of her curves while keeping some places amply covered. The image was made worse due to the fact that every step had Vita's breasts bouncing in just the right way that radiated raw, primal sexual energy.

"Tea..."

"Yeah?" Teana asked as she got Subaru's telepathic message. "What is it?"

"Is it possible to orgasm just from looking at someone?"

Teana's face went completely red and her eyes white as she got that message. "...Why do you ask?"

Instead of answering, Subaru fell to her knees and twitched slightly, causing Vita to blink and sigh heavily.

"Usually they wait until I kiss them before creaming their panties." She muttered to herself before snapping her fingers. "Subaru, stay there for a moment, the rest of you, follow Quint out to the training field."

"Yes, sir!"

"That's ma'am to you!"

"Yes sir!" Vita twitched as everyone said that in unison before running off to the training field. After they were gone, she walked over to Subaru, who was staring at her, before kneeling and looking at her right in the eyes.

"Listen and listen well, girl, I don't date jerks, weaklings or my underlings, got it?" Vita grabbed Subaru's chin to keep her looking up instead of at her breasts. "If we're off duty, I don't mind the thought of having some fun, but since we're not, you've got to keep yourself in check, got it?"

"But... You're..."

Vita rolled her eyes before snorting. "I was teasing you, let's just get it straight, Subaru, while I think that you're very good looking, right now, you're a weakling and you're my subordinate. I'm not going to ruin anything for either of us by dating or having fun with you anytime soon, do you understand?" When Subaru didn't react, Vita squeezed Subaru's jaw. "Do you?!"

"Yesh..." Subaru looked like she was about to cry when Vita let go of her jaw and stood up.

"Good, just remember that for the future." Vita walked off, leaving a confused Subaru laying on the ground. "Oh yeah, go change your panties before they get stained."

Watching Subaru stumble off, Vita rolled her eyes and sighed. She hated to turn the girl down, but it would hurt her future in the long run if they were having fun together at any time in the near future.

The sooner Subaru learned that, the better.

Spoiler for Comments:

Just to keep the active cast down, people will be rotating in and out on missions regularly.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

So here is a romance short. Set after Force, somewhere. And no gore. I’m totally serious. Very short, too.

Ergo, I have no idea what I’m doing.

Spoiler for As It Should Be:

It had been a month of hard work and late hours. Cases had been closed and criminals had been arrested. It never really seemed to calm down, no matter how much effort they put into it. For Erio, who had just about finished the last report in the huge pile in front of him, a vacation awaited him the following day. The feeling of having accomplished a lot of work, and knowing that a reward was waiting for said work, had kept his spirits high the past weeks.

“Erio, are you done?”

He peaked his head up as he signed the last report. Fate was standing in the doorway. “Yes, Fate,” he said and put the report in the pile. “All done for today.”

“Thanks for your hard work, Erio. Looking forward to tomorrow?”

“Very much.” He stood up at his desk and stretched. “It’s going to be good to get away from this. If only for a few days.”

“I can imagine,” Fate said and checked her watch. “I’m sorry, I need to be somewhere. Call me if anything comes up, alright?”

Erio nodded. “I will, Fate.”

She left, leaving Erio to clean up his desk and put on his coat. The weather outside had shifted from sunny to the beginning of rain. Heavy clouds had moved in during the afternoon, threatening to unleash rain upon Cranagan, just as the weather report had said that morning.

He picked up his umbrella next to the door as he left the office. He just had one stop before heading home, and her office was just down the hall. He leaned the umbrella on his shoulder as he walked, letting his happy mood show. As he arrived at the office he peaked inside.

“Caro.”

She turned around at his voice. She had been putting on her coat as he had uttered her name. “Erio! Are you done for today?”

“Yes. Should we go?”

“Yeah.”

She joined in beside him as they walked through the floor and called for the elevator. They chit-chatted between themselves while they waited. When the elevator arrived they continued their chat on the way downward, Caro giggling at the joke Erio had just told. On the ground floor they joined the groups of people leaving for the day as well, waving and chatting with fellow mages.

That awkward silence again. Erio felt the tension between them and tried to find the words to break it.

“How long have we known each other?” he asked.

Caro pondered for a moment, then smiled. “More than ten years, I think. A long time... Erio, why do you ask all of a sudden?”

“I was just wondering because I couldn’t remember the last time we weren’t together.”

Caro fell quiet and fidgeted with her hands again. A minute passed where nothing was said, the sound of the rain being the only thing that filled the bus booth. Eventually she moved a bit closer and placed her hand on his. She didn’t look at him. She kept looking down into the ground as if pondering what to do next.

“Caro...” Erio whispered.

“Erio, I...” She stopped and took a deep breath. Erio waited until she spoke again. “I think, starting some years ago, I hid what I felt. From myself. I should have said something sooner, but... I don’t know why I did, Erio.” She turned to him, her cheeks flushing a faint red, and looked him deep in the eyes. “Erio, I lo-”

He went for the kiss, then. He stopped her mid-sentence with a very soft, but long, kiss, merely touching her lips with his. Caro, whose hand still lay on Erio’s, slid her fingers into his, intertwining them. They stayed like that for a full minute before relinquishing their hold. Erio was the first to break the silence.

“I love you too, Caro,” he whispered and smiled at her. “I think I always have, but, like you, I hid it.” Caro giggled and hugged him, allowing his arms to slide around her waist in a tight embrace.

They sat there as the clouds began to move away from the city, taking the rain and wind with it. Soon only the sound of dripping water remained, along with the small puddles on the empty street. The warmth that had accumulated during the day had gone away, leaving them with a chill akin to a day in autumn.

They let each other go and stood up. Both of them were blushing hard and no words were said between them. All they did was clasp each others’ hands and resume their walk home.

I am now embarrassed. I need to cleanse myself now *goes to write gore and laughs manically*

LOL, I totally didn't read your note before the fic, so when I read it I kept cringing at how cute it was and expecting something absolutely terrible to happen as I kept reading further and further. Imagine how surprised I was when I reached the end and everything was still fluffy with kittens!

Cute fic, I love how they're comfortable with silent moments. That really shows me how close they are to each other more than any other kind of action . Great job!

"Well, I'm here to use my magic more effectively, plus I didn't want to miss out on seeing you again."

The first part of the sentence sounds weird ("I'm here to learn to use/practice using")

I know Erio and Caro are important characters in canon Strikers but there's something wrong by them being in BtF's Riot Force division: their parents are Fate, Yuuno and Arisa, who in turn are heavily influenced by Lina (particularly Fate) and her conviction children shouldn't be soldiers so young (they being reincarnations of the Mazoku/Shinzoku from the other staff being irrelevant here).

Subaru snapped her hand out and Zelgadis found a chain wrapped around his neck tightly, pulling on him. "Chain bind!"

"Dug Haut!" Erio cried out and grinned as the ground under Zelgadis shook and a stone spike shot up, forcing him to let go of Teana and take a step back.

Not wasting any time, Teana took a few steps back before turning and firing at him, what shocked her though was that he kicked the stone spike, causing it to fall and become a shield that blocked her attack with ease. Her eyes widened as the stone spike suddenly levitated upwards and Zelgadis was revealed looking just fine, no chain around his neck at all.

Smirking at them, he nodded, pleased at them. "Very good teamwork there, all of you."

"How come Nanoha-san interfered?!" Subaru yelled as the mage in question descended down and sat on the spike that Zelgadis was levitating.

"Because you're going to have enemies who appear out of nowhere and will strike you down without warning." Nanoha said, her eyes narrowed as memories of what Gaav did to her came back to her mind. "Despite this, you four were still able to function, even with one member in jeopardy of being killed, that's good."

Making the stone spike fly backwards and forcing Nanoha to get off of it, Zelgadis smirked at them. "But, we're not done yet. Let a little praise get to your head and you won't last more than a few minutes here!"

"So, how are they doing?" Signum asked as she walked up behind Reinforce, who merely turned to look at her.

"Could be worse." She nodded at the pinkette. "Don't you have a mission?"

"Yes, a simple one, Testarossa and I shall be back in three days."

Reinforce nodded at her. "Be careful out there, Signum." She knew Signum wouldn't need to be, but she still worried about her family.

"I'll be fine, Reinforce." Signum turned to walk away. "But... Thank you for worrying about me."

As she watched Signum leave, Reinforce called up a screen and looked at who was out. 'Let's see, Vita is meeting up with those two, they'll be here by this afternoon...'

This Riot Force was looking more interesting by the moment.

That afternoon...

"Ugh, more training..." Teana groaned as she stretched her legs out.

"Could be worse," Erio spoke up as he lay his spear, which was unwrapped, to the side, "we could have to clean the kitchen up."

Nodding, Teana sweat-dropped heavily. "I guess so... What is that spear, I never saw anything like it in training."

Erio blinked and looked at it, smiling. "Oh, you wouldn't. Grandma gave me that spear, said that I earned it after I decided to go get some basic training... Plus it likes me."

"Likes you?" Teana blinked at that as Erio nodded and gripped his spear after he was done stretching. "How?"

"I don't know," Erio scratched his head, "but I can tell that it likes me."

"That's weird," a new female voice spoke up and Erio, Teana, Caro and Subaru turned to see two new girls walking towards them, "I always thought that Fried liked you, since he headbutted you so often."

"Arisa-mama!" Caro squealed in joy and ran towards the short-haired blonde, hugging her tightly. "What are you doing here?"

Arisa hugged Caro back tightly. "Well, I'm here to use my magic more effectively, plus I didn't want to miss out on seeing you again." She smiled as Caro blushed and buried her face into Arisa's stomach. "And Suzuka here just wanted to come with and be part of the group."

Suzuka waved at them. "Hello." She smiled at them peacefully.

For some reason, Teana was really starting to wonder about this Riot Force division that she was a part of. "...Why do I have the feeling that things aren't as they appear around here?"

"It's probably a good idea to think that." A female voice said as two people walked up behind Suzuka and Arisa.

"M...Mom?!" Subaru stood up, her eyes wide at the sight of her mother in the same training outfit the rest of them had on.

Quint smirked at Subaru. "Good to see you too, dear, but don't think I'll go easy on you."

"Thankfully the afternoon's easier than the morning for you guys." A familiar and almost unwelcome voice said as Vita came into view.

Whatever Subaru was going to say died on her lips as she practically choked on her tongue. Vita was in a very tight black tank top that seemed molded to her very nice breasts and biker shorts that revealed all of her curves while keeping some places amply covered. The image was made worse due to the fact that every step had Vita's breasts bouncing in just the right way that radiated raw, primal sexual energy.

"Tea..."

"Yeah?" Teana asked as she got Subaru's telepathic message. "What is it?"

"Is it possible to orgasm just from looking at someone?"

Teana's face went completely red and her eyes white as she got that message. "...Why do you ask?"

Instead of answering, Subaru fell to her knees and twitched slightly, causing Vita to blink and sigh heavily.

"Usually they wait until I kiss them before creaming their panties." She muttered to herself before snapping her fingers. "Subaru, stay there for a moment, the rest of you, follow Quint out to the training field."

"Yes, sir!"

"That's ma'am to you!"

"Yes sir!" Vita twitched as everyone said that in unison before running off to the training field. After they were gone, she walked over to Subaru, who was staring at her, before kneeling and looking at her right in the eyes.

"Listen and listen well, girl, I don't date jerks, weaklings or my underlings, got it?" Vita grabbed Subaru's chin to keep her looking up instead of at her breasts. "If we're off duty, I don't mind the thought of having some fun, but since we're not, you've got to keep yourself in check, got it?"

"But... You're..."

Vita rolled her eyes before snorting. "I was teasing you, let's just get it straight, Subaru, while I think that you're very good looking, right now, you're a weakling and you're my subordinate. I'm not going to ruin anything for either of us by dating or having fun with you anytime soon, do you understand?" When Subaru didn't react, Vita squeezed Subaru's jaw. "Do you?!"

"Yesh..." Subaru looked like she was about to cry when Vita let go of her jaw and stood up.

"Good, just remember that for the future." Vita walked off, leaving a confused Subaru laying on the ground. "Oh yeah, go change your panties before they get stained."

Watching Subaru stumble off, Vita rolled her eyes and sighed. She hated to turn the girl down, but it would hurt her future in the long run if they were having fun together at any time in the near future.

The sooner Subaru learned that, the better.

Spoiler for Comments:

Just to keep the active cast down, people will be rotating in and out on missions regularly.

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Reia: O-kay.... Even Excel-neechan CAN'T make anyone climax by just looking at her....

Me: I shall repeat thy words again: DAMN! YOU! HAYATE!!!!!

Odin: Her and her perverted thought have corrupted Vita.

Sarah: Did Erio received the "Ragudo Mezegis" from Lina, who keeps them as ornament?

Me: I dunno but one thing is certain. The Strikers will have a nasty crash course in mazoku combat.

Val: If Riksfalto got a wind of this training, I think we all know who's the new instructor for the anti-mazoku training.

Thanks for the comments. I had no idea how it turned out, other than it made even me go ngh. So something clicked in the process. Also:

I totally wanted a reaction like this. Now I'm proud!
