Hayate grunted as Reinforce's punch slammed into her barrier with such force that it shattered in one hit. Hayate's eyes widened as a knee was driven into her stomach so hard that the air was driven out of her lungs. Hayate stumbled back and stared as Reinforce didn't give her a chance to recover as the silver haired device lashed out with a punch that struck Hayate in the cheek and sent her bouncing across the room. "NNnngh..." Hayate looked at Reinforce as she stood there, looking at her emotionlessly. "Why?"
"Hayate," Reinforce muttered as Hayate cuddled against her in bed. "Come on, time to get up for school."
"Nah uh... You're comfy," Hayate muttered as she buried her face into Reinforce's breasts.
Sighing, Reinforce reached down and pulled on Hayate's panties, pulling them up and getting a yelp from Hayate as she sat up and adjusted her underwear. "It got you up."
"Mouu... I'm either going to have to buy thongs or sleep naked." Hayate grumbled as she got out of bed and twitched at how her underwear was still uncomfortable.
Reinforce blushed as she looked at the teenage girl. "...I wouldn't mind seeing you in a thong."
"Reinforce," Hayate murmured as she stood up. "I'll save you." A small circle formed in front of her as she took a deep breath. "I won't let you down."
Reinforce narrowed her eyes and rushed forward, pulling her arm back and punching forward at Hayate, who wasn't there as she zipped to the side. "Why do you keep calling me that?" Reinforce asked as she stood to her full, and rather impressive, height. "I am the Book of Darkness."
"No you aren't!" Hayate yelled as a white triangle formed under her feet. "Don't you remember, Reinforce?! I took that name away and gave you your new name!" When Reinforce raised her right hand balled it into a fist, Hayate shuddered and charged up her own attack. "Fine then! I won't lose! I can't lose! Claiomh Solais!" Hayate snapped her staff down and a blue-white beam of magic lashed out at Reinforce, who held up a hand to block the attack.
"Is that all?" Reinforce asked and stared at the book in Hayate's hands. "That is..." Before she could continue, she closed her eyes, bit her lip and groaned as her body shook. When they opened up, there was no recognition or emotion in them anymore.
"Fire Flash!" Several basketball sized spheres of fire erupted from the Tome of the Night Sky out towards Reinforce, who narrowed her eyes and stomped a foot on the ground, a wall of ice erupted out of the ground and dissipated the fire in an instant. Reinforce crossed her arms over her chest before thrusting them out, shattering the ice and creating four dark spheres around her in an instant.
Reinforce's eyes widened as she saw the five white rings in front of Hayate as she charged up her spell. "Nightmare." Reinforce whispered and held her hand out as the spheres erupted out towards Hayate, who countered with her Hręsvelgr spell.
The effects of the two spells colliding with each other was remarkable as they exploded outwards in a corona of black and white energy, lashing out at the two Belkan users and sending them crashing to the far ends of the room.
Hayate shook her head and looked at Reinforce, who, despite that, looked completely unaffected. "Please, don't you remember me?"
Reinforce drew her right arm across her body and snapped her fingers as several thousands of points of light erupted around her body. "Scatter, you points of light, rend the skies and my enemy like blades, Zenbonzaru." As Reinforce called up that spell, she noticed that Hayate was holding her hand up to create a barrier in an attempt to block whatever was going to come her way. Reinforce snapped her fingers again before pointing at Hayate and the points of light suddenly shot across the room so fast that Hayate was caught flat-footed as her barrier was shattered like glass, and her legs, arms, shoulders and even stomach were pierced with dozens upon dozens of small energy beams.
As her body shook from the impacts, Hayate could only stare with wide eyes as her mouth was forced open and a mixture of saliva and blood escaped it. She let out a cry of pain as she fell to the floor, blood dribbling out of each wound.
Reinforce took one step forward, before grunting as her magic pulsed, sending her to her knees and forcing her to grab her head as her eyes widened as an image came to her.
"Zwei, be careful." She sighed as she watched her daughter, in her full-sized form, running through the mud puddles and make a mess out of herself. "What am I going to do with you?"
"This is fun!" Zwei grinned at her before slipping and falling to her butt and kicking up mud, covering herself with it. "...I fell."
"Yes, yes you did." She sighed as Zwei got up and ran around the yard with her arms spread, pretending to be an airplane and making fake sounds. She shook her head and sighed softly, glad that her daughter was able to live in such a peaceful time.
Reinforce snarled and stood up as the bolts on her neck let out another whine of noise. "What are you trying to do to me?" She looked at Hayate, who was forcing herself to a sitting position. "Enough of your games." Reinforce balled her right hand into a fist as black energy spiraled around it. "My name is... The Book of Darkness, and you are my enemy."
"Reinforce." Hayate flew up to get back to her feet. "Please, remember me." Her eyes watered as she saw the energy spiraling around Reinforce's fist. "You don't, do you?"
"You are my master's enemy, that is all I need to know." Reinforce rushed across the room at high speed, letting out a yell in the process.
"I'm sorry, then." Hayate murmured as she charged up her spell. "A.C.S. Driver!" Her body became covered in energy as she rushed forward, Schwertkreuz, her staff with a golden cross, was held under her, pointing forward as though it was a spear. When Reinforce got close, she lashed out with her punch, which connected with Hayate's staff, creating an explosion that sent Hayate crashing to the gound where she bounced a couple of times before sliding to a stop against the wall. Looking up, she gasped as Reinforce came out of the dust cloud, looking more dangerous than ever.
It may have had something to do with the fact that Reinforce's right arm was now looking more like a tentacle that reached down to her legs. "You are... My enemy..." Reinforce pointed her tentacle arm at Hayate, who gasped as the tentacles shot out quickly and wrapped around her legs, arms, around her chest and stomach, binding her. "I am... The Book of Darkness..." Dark lightning crackled around Reinforce's left arm. "Fall, into the Void of Darkness, and disappear."
Hayate could only stare as Reinforce rushed at her. "Reinforce... I... I..." Reinforce was upon her in a moment, her arm crackling with energy as she punched forward. "I love you, Reinforce." For an instant, Hayate thought she saw Reinforce's eyes widen with recognition, before they hardened again.
Hayate closed her eyes and waited for the end to come.
As her fist sailed forward, Reinforce could swear that everything was moving in slow motion. When Hayate closed her eyes, she was suddenly replaced by a small girl in a wheel chair who curled up to her, a wolf, and a redheaded girl who was just as small while a tall pink-haired woman and a blonde woman sat behind them. In the small girl's lap was a tiny, blue-eyed version of herself.
When a loud crack and explosion happened, Hayate cringed, fearing the worst. When she felt no pain, she opened her eyes to see Reinforce looking at her, her left arm extended fully and embedded into the wall behind her. "Reinforce?" She asked softly.
"You did something to me, didn't you?" Reinforce asked as the tentacles on Hayate's body started to tighten and wind around her, causing Hayate to cry out in pain. "I have memories that I shouldn't have."
"M...Memories?" Hayate asked, before Reinforce pulled her arm out of the wall and tossed Hayate away, her right arm remained in its tentacle form as she watched Hayate bounce across the floor, her hat falling off of her head in the process. "Please! Tell me! What memories?"
"False memories that you obviously implanted." Reinforce held her left hand up high, her index and middle finger extended, before slowly lowering it down, a red line followed her fingers downwards. "Let this be your end."
Hayate pointed Schwertkreuz at Reinforce. "Red Dagger!" Dozens of red daggers shot out from Hayate's staff and she gasped as they erupted when they got close to Reinforce, who now had her fingers pointing down and was raising them up, but this time to her right side slowly.
"A spell of that level will fail to overcome this, you will fall into nothing."
Hayate narrowed her eyes and fought the urge to cry as she held her staff up and a triangle appeared under her feet. "Then... Astral... Shattering..." A black ball of energy formed in front of it as Reinforce had, by this time, drawn her hand straight across to her left side and was moving it downwards towards her right foot. "BREAK!" Hayate swung her staff down and the ball shot forward, before splitting into eight smaller balls and each one rushing forward, smashing into the aria that Reinforce was creating, shattering it and causing the final ball to slam into the device's stomach and driving her against the wall.
Reinforce shook her head and stared as Hayate created a triangle aria in front of her while holding her staff high in the air as magic started to spike. "...You're a Belkan Mage Knight?" Reinforce hunched over and her hair covered her eyes as her shoulders shook. "Now I see. That's why you could put those false memories into my mind." A black triangle appeared under her feet as a black sphere formed in her left hand. Reinforce looked up and rushed forward, the ball of energy crackling and pulsing as she did so.
"I'm sorry, Reinforce... Whistle! Echo of lasting closure! Ragnarok!" Hayate swung her staff out as a large white beam rushed at Reinforce, who slid to a stop and thrust her hand out at it.
"Diabolic Emission."
Hayate watched as the two spells connected, before shrinking to a pinpoint and erupting into a dome of white colored energy that consumed the entire room for a moment and sending Hayate crashing into the far wall while Reinforce was slammed onto the ground.
Reinforce grunted as she struggled to stand up. "I am... The Book of Darkness, I will..." Reinforce let out a groan as she forced herself to her feet. As she stood up, Reinforce was forced to hunch over as she panted and groaned while her skin seemed to sizzle from that last attack. "I will..." She had to bite her teeth as the screws in her neck made a drilling noise and her body shook as whatever was in it forced her to keep standing and fighting.
Groaning and making noises that no one could understand, Reinforce shuddered, held her tentacle arm out and shot the tentacles out at Hayate again, or at least, where Hayate used to be as they slammed into the wall harmlessly. Recalling the tentacles, Reinforce looked around the room, before a strange pink light filled the air. Turning and looking up, Reinforce stared at the sphere in front of Hayate.
"Now, Reinforce, let me show you what you took from Nanoha-chan and taught your daughter and myself!" Hayate glared down at Reinforce, who stared in shock. Before Reinforce could move, she found herself wrapped up in binds around her arms and legs. "Bind overture!" Hayate cried out as more binds wrapped around Reinforce's thighs and torso, pinning her tight. "And Overload!" Hayate nodded as binds wrapped around the bolts on Reinforce's neck, pulling back, but not ripping it off. "Reinforce, this power that I learned glows with an awesome power, the pink light tells me to defeat you, just like you taught me! Take this! All my sorrow! My pain! And all of my love for you!"
Reinforce could only stare in shock as the ball of energy got bigger and bigger as more and more magic pooled into it.
"STARLIGHT BREAKER!!"
When Hayate swung her staff down, there was a single moment of pure silence, before the ball erupted into a torrent of pink energy that slammed into Reinforce, putting a huge dent into the floor as the device cried out in pain as she was bombarded with more magic that she thought was possible. The metal clams around her neck started to crack and splinter into pieces.
"Now! Break through! Go! Go! GOOOO!!" Hayate screamed as the energy continued to cascade down on Reinforce.
When the energy finally dissipated, Reinforce was laying on her back, completely naked, the remnants of the metal bolts lay scattered on the ground.
"Reinforce!" Hayate flew to the tall device and gasped at how still she was. "Come on! Reinforce..." Tears welled up in her eyes as Reinforce made no motions at all. Hayate grabbed her left hand, since her right one was still, for some reason, a tentacle, "please, Reinforce." She squeezed the hand between hers. "Get up..." Tears started to leak out of Hayate's eyes. "Come on, Reinforce... I love you. Get up. This works in the movies! Come on!" When Reinforce's hand slipped limply out of Hayate's grasp, she started crying hard, "no! You can't die! I'm your mistress! I'm your lover!" Hayate grabbed Reinforce in a tight hug, sobbing hard. "You're my wife! Don't you dare... Don't you DARE LEAVE ME ALONE!"
After several moments, Hayate slumped, Reinforce wasn't responding at all. "REINFOOOOORRRCCCCEEEE!!!" Hayate screamed out to the heavens, letting her sorrow be known to all that could hear her. Hayate hugged Reinforce tightly, trembling and sobbing as her tears fell onto Reinforce's hair, splashing onto it and soaking it.
"Unisono macht neu starten."
Hayate gasped as she heard the Tome of the Night Sky speak those words and watched as Reinforce's body suddenly glowed white, before shrinking and disappearing. "Rein..." She felt a shiver run down her spine as she felt the familiar power of Reinforce unisoning with her.
Hayate grabbed her book and hugged it tightly, rocking back and forth as she continued to cry, this time out of happiness.
