Good answers - but the people of Alhazred can't be the originals - maybe transplants from another world...
No, I'm writing DestinyS, the unofficial S4 with almost no OCs here at all. Only my villain OCs, and half the villain cast would be established characters anyway.
As for the Alhazred thing, these "Originals" (( just a temporary name reference )) refers to the fact that they carry the memories of their originals from the time of Alhazred's destruction along with their countless deaths and rebirths in new bodies each time, as they seek out their King and await the time where their revenge and restoration of their home world can be possible.
Since Nanoha is all about copypasta for plot materials, I just recycle a similar concept to the Knight's constant revivals, only difference is that they live much longer before dying, and are doing it out of their own will, choosing to suffer for XXX amount of years over countless generations, awaiting the time when they could find and awaken their King so that his Wings will guide their path.
And IF Yuuno will be the King, it'll be the whole "weight of burden vs conflict of self" character development from him, tying similarly to how he blames himself a little for the fault of S1's Jewel Seed thing. Rest assured that I won't do the "OMG MEMORY OVERRIDE" or "DARK YUUNO" bullshit. Anyway, him being the villain ISN'T fully confirmed yet either, since I'm not sure if I want apple or orange better in the case of the final villain...

For the earlier post about the possible delay, I reckoned I should have gotton more information before posting about it here. I am sorry for causing any misunderstanding to those who have read that post.
As for naming Keroko's Limit Break, may I suggest Devastator Blade/Falchion/Edge?
Or a nod towards Neltharion, Neltharion Break?
Mix and match if you like. Hope you'll find a fitting name for Keroko's Limit Break.

Athradia, TSAB Central, take your pick.
That is what I intend StargazerS to be. As with all combo works, everyone is free to post what happens to their char.
Oh and can Master Wodan appear?
But I didn't know TSAB Central is still online. Great! The only problem is, it probably isn't going to be intact for long.

So a true spoiler for once, I had not planned to reveal this yet due to wishing for surprise effects, but I needs names.
Spoiler for Current Limit Break data:
The idea was to have a Limit Break that focusses on Keroko's specialty, namely versitallity. Artherion will change into two energy blades (yes, I swayed for Fate's awesomness in episode 24 it was stronger then me. ) Keroko's Barrier Jacket becomes the ranged part by turning the two gems on her shoulders into multi-target cannons. The magical version of shoulder-mounted missile launchers, really.
However, when it came down to naming them, I ran on dry ground. For the blades, I never got further then 'Force Sabers'. Cool name, but it lacks that 'wow' effect. The Barrier Jacket... Well, I got to Impulse Form, but then I remembered episode 5.
So if anyone could give some suggestions for names, it would be very apreciated.
Hmmm... Netherstrike Warblades and Draconis Form? We're talking about Neltharion after all.

Acutally I totally ripped that off from a Novel/Anime Series Crest/Banner of the Stars. Its good space opera you should watch it if you’re into that kind of stuff. It’s got a very unique and cool way of forcing close combat too.
It also of coruse has missile spam on an almost ludicrous scale (like tens of thousands of multi-warhead weapons in a single salvo in major fleet battles) and ships that fire nuclear bombs from railguns. I did kind of find the lack of smaller secondary Railguns or missiles a bit odd, but tended to write that off as ammo space issues, the smaller ships were pretty crammed and the laser did work pretty well as a defense weapon most of then, but they where kind of useless against the enemy shields. Unlike some series though it showed actual evolution to face changing threats (ZOMG!) and later on the smaller ships began to mount down rated but still very dangerous railguns too making them much more relevant.
Steal whatever you want, I stole 90% of that from other people to begin with. Most of it is pretty obvious too...
Space combat also just happens to be something I enjoy a great deal and can rant and expound on at length though my favorite style of it is space-opera with a slight dusting of realism.
I don't really get into the whole super realistic "Relativistic kill vehicles target by independent automated drones from interplanetary range powered by torch drives, and no stealth!!!* or the super powered "AI driven ships with pico-second reaction times linked to planet blasting gatling super lasers and armored with warped space time!!!" genre like some of my peers on other boards. I tend to keep it “Old School” IE put allot of guns on the ships, make them big, cover them in physics raping energy shields (these and FTL are the big hand waivers I tend to overlook in the interests of neater battles) add a few twists to introduce some tactics and perhaps some luck into play and then stir and serve.
I prefer to think that most TSAB ships ARE fairly well armed and indeed we’ve never really seen a scene that would call for one to employ and secondary weapon systems they might have as I recall. Nor dose it seem we will anytime soon… *grumbles about the navy not showing up in time to start blasting*
I find it hard to convince of them building ships with just one ludicrously easy to avoid weapon system… If that’s truly the case they have a terminal case of stupid and I’m just going ignore the canon so my brain doesn’t shrivel up and die. Luckily canon is so god damn vague about space combat I can mold it nearly to my whim!
“No matter what enemy. No Matter what Ally. Mowing everything down with Maximum Destructive Power.”
Though I must say that that last line is supposed to end with Nanoha Takamachi.

Okay, Kha, let me see if I have this down -
Fact: the fics DestinyS and StargazerS both occur in the established fanon universe of Strike Lightning, CrosyS, Hollow/Ataraxia, I-n's, LerykS, and Kha's Counterattack.
Fact: both fics occur post-StrikerS, with enough of a time gap so that Teana can learn to fly - a few months at least.
Fact: The fics cover THE SAME PERIOD of time, with DestinyS focusing on the side of the Canon Characters, while StargazerS focuses upon the OCs - similar to what we've done with StrikerS; weaving each set of characters in and out of the timelines.
Fact: StargazerS will have the threat of a revived Zest to deal with.
Okay, now questions:
1 - What is the ultimate fate, then, of the RevivalS, AlternateS II, and OutcastS fics announced?
2 - Nighty is writing DestinyS. Who is responsible for StargazerS? (Note: To whoever is writing it, I will PM them the general outline of what can and cannot happen to my characters, or the characters given to me by other authors.)
Let me know if there are any incorrect statements.

Thanks.
the AlternateS projects is dependent on the Arcs that come out of this thread and of the canon seasons 1-3 (if 4 will be out then 4 will be included)
Luckily, The first few chapters of AltenateS II are not related to any canon timeline and are based solely on the OC, as prologues... then the slow integration of the current canon timeline and the CCs of the series... and then the pace quickens- that's why it's still in the planning stage- but still on course- i really planned AltS II to not start until i finish AltS I.
And i / may have additional projects as well...
Lyrical Phase: TracerS = on hiatus Signum-included fic, also known as 'CCS "Second Shuffle"' on ff.net
Lyrical Phase: AlterateS = planned Earth side of the StrikerS story- think Earth was quiet? WRONG- ask Arisa and Suzuka about it. Project Olympus- the Terran Combat Cyborgs debut here.
Lyrical Phase: AlternativeS = planned "in the meantime while StrikerS was happening" fic series for AlternateS OCs and more
Nanoha: The Origin = planned pre-nanoha series of events, for CC and OC alike- mainly involving the Takamachis, Hallaouns and Nakajimas- might include some of those zest 4komas for kicks.
Legends of Lyrical = a somewhat collection of made up myths and legends about midchildan and velkan magic/faith.

DIARY OF A WINDTALKER
SUMMER ARC SPECIAL, CHAPTER V
Spoiler for epic bluecheeism #1:
“After two days of outdoor and indoor activities, what do we get from this summer holiday? Nothing! I mean NOTHING! And with two days remaining, we ought to do what every holiday-goer is compelled to accomplish! It’s bathing in the hot spring! Do you listen to me, people? IT’S HOT SPRING! Therefore we are obliged to visit one of Mid-Childa’s best natural hot springs! Yes, ladies and gentlemen! IT’S ONSEN TIME! OOH-RAH!”
Hikki and Freya glared at Poseidon. “Who the hell are you talking to, Poseidon?” Hikki sneered.
“Seriously, Poseidon, you suck,” Freya jeered.
Poseidon gagged. The tiger was at loss of words to explain. Moreover, its one-man show made everyone in the hilltop picnic site stare at it in suspicious manner. Even Takeru and Aura gave Poseidon the look of “what do you think you’re doing?”, and Poseidon was immersed in the lake of shame.
“Onsen, huh?” Nove pondered and looked at Cinque. Unaware that she was being watched, Cinque continued arranging the picnic table with E’s help. Nove suddenly cackled at the thought of “doing this and that” with her revered Oneesama and blushed in furious manner.
Lutecia glanced at the Number. “Baaka.”
“Sheesh. You’re weirdo. Come, Freya.” Hikki and Freya left the motionless Poseidon and approached Frieda who was helping Nanoha with the meal. “Ms. Frieda, Miss Nanoha, can we help you with anything?”
“Oh, both of you don’t have to,” Frieda uttered. “We’re almost done with these dishes, actually.”
“But you could give us some extra hands on other works,” Nanoha said and gestured toe youngsters to a pile of plates at the other table. “Can you help us arranging the plates before the rest of them arrive?”
“Sure.”
The couple left to arrange the cutleries. Frieda and Nanoha chuckled at the intimate closeness of Hikki and Freya. “They remind me of one of my friends and his girlfriend,” Nanoha uttered.
“Who might that person be, hmm?” Frieda guessed.
Nanoha giggled. “He was supposed to come with us, but for some reasons he had to attend a meeting with the Wind Talkers at Britannia,” she said and grumbled afterwards. “That Hikki… I only wish he can learn to respect us women…”
(Hikki sneezed. “Cold, Yutaro?” Freya asked.
“I don’t think so,” the boy answered and shuddered.)
“I bet he’s feeling alone out there right now,” Frieda wondered.
“He is, though,” Nanoha said. “Widuri-chan is here. Fuuko-chan is here. Even I’m here. I just don’t want to hear news of him chasing after other women when the three of us are here.”
(Hikki shivered. “Damn it. I heard what you’re saying!”)
“Let me guess,” Frieda said and teasingly elbowed Nanoha. “You seem to be in deep admirations towards him, don’t you?”
Nanoha blushed. So did Hikki, who was forced to stop working after Freya found that he was breaking down from “heat stroke”. Frieda noticed Nanoha’s uneasy reaction and chuckled. “Come on. Tell me. It’s just between us. We’re woman, right?” she said.
“Well… I… you see… ettou…” Nanoha fiddled with her fingers, too shy to tell the gunslinger woman the exact truth. “Mou! Frieda-san, are you trying to set me up?” she squealed.
“Not really,” Frieda answered and looked at Hikki and Freya, the former was fanned by Poseidon who was heard shouting for medical help. She giggled when Hikki was knocked out cold after Widuri gave him a healing embrace (the Unison Device apologized for what she did).
“Oneechan!”
Frieda and Nanoha looked down at Fuuko and Caro. “Yes, Fuuko dear, what is it?” Nanoha asked.
“When are we going to have onsen?” Fuuko asked.
“How about tonight?” Frieda suggested. “I’ve reserved the hot spring for our use. We can go there whenever we want along our holiday here.”
“Yaay! Onsen!” Fuuko cheered and gave Caro a very tight hug. “We’re going to have onsen! Fuuko loves onsen!”
Spoiler for epic bluecheeism #2:
// after several hours of time-skip //
Hikki was as restless as ever. He had worked all day long during the picnic, and he was in the urgent need for refreshment. The rest of the children were also tired, having had spent the remaining day playing at the beach. At one corner of the room, Aura was feeding the distraught Takeru with watermelon slice; at another corner, Erio was surrounded by the likes of Cinque, Nove, Lutecia, Annabelle and Caro as they gave him a very angry look for reasons only God knows. Kha was fanning himself while sitting outside, eating watermelon with Vita and Signum. Fuuko was with her antics as usual, chasing after yarn balls and making Erio blush at the bubbly sight (it, too, made him eat Caro’s annoyed fist). Freya was sitting next to him, peacefully dozing upon his shoulder, tired.
(It was also supposed to be the children’s turn to use the hot spring but they decided to go there after dinner. Again, Erio blushed at the thought of surrounded by young and beautiful women -- he managed to eye on Aura for a while before Takeru gave him the look of a hungry, angry wolf.)
“Damn,” Hikki murmured and outstretched his arms. “This is one hectic day.” He glanced at Poseidon who was conspiring something with Zafira, E and Arf. The tiger noticed the boy and waved in silly manners to him. “Stupid. I need to go now.”
“Where are you going?” Freya asked when Hikki shrugged her off.
“To the hot spring,” he sighed and grabbed the towel. “I need to take a quick bath before dinner.” He noticed everyone inside the room stared at him strangely due to the statement. “What?”
Poseidon stepped in front of him, arms spread wide as if it would not let him proceed. “You don’t know what lies ahead of you,” it spoke (Zafira, E and Arf nodded to agree).
“Look, tiger,” Hikki hissed and prodded Poseidon’s chest. “I need a bath, and you aren’t going to step in my way. Or is it because you did something to the bamboo screen, didn’t you?”
“No! Of course not! I wouldn’t do such a devious thing!” Poseidon replied. Hikki ignored the tiger and continued walking towards the hot spring. “Yutaro! Wait! You know the ladies are in there, don’t you?” Poseidon shouted.
Hikki turned back to the tiger. “I thought they already used the hot spring,” he insisted.
Poseidon grabbed his shoulders. “Listen up, Yutaro. If you go there right now, you are in for the worst disaster you ever imagine.”
“Shut up,” Hikki said and brushed the paws off. “You just want to peek on the woman yourself.”
“For this once, listen to me!” Poseidon pleaded. “You mustn’t go there!”
“SUPREME GIBSON BUSTER!!!!”
Poseidon was launched into the air, piercing through the many layers of ceilings and floors before it disappeared in the starry sky. “Stupid tiger…” Hikki mumbled, his fist tingling in pain after delivering the hard-hitting uppercut, and headed towards the hot spring’s entrance door. “I just need to have some quick bath and…”
He stopped.
The pool was indeed occupied! And the women were all cloth-less, too!
(Beyond the corner, Zafira, Vita, Signum, Freya, Aura, Takeru, Kha, Annabelle, Caro, Lutecia and Erio peeked at him and silently cackled, with the exception of Freya who was fuming in jealously.
“We’re very sorry, Yutaro…” Zafira mumbled, hands making Buddha’s gestures and eyes crying waterfall. “We tried to tell you that Poseidon planned all this, but…”
“You and Poseidon planned this, didn’t you?” Aura asked.
The wolf stooped its head. “I’m sorry…”)
To make matters worse, Hayate was seen doing physical examination onto Widuri and the Unison Device was moaning for help, her facial expression a mixture of bliss and distress. Hikki blushed at the sight of his Servant crying for help, even as Hayate laughingly balanced her loads in her hands.
“What in the world is this atrocity?!”
The women noticed his yell. Hikki was struck in horror and immediately rushed back in. “I’m sorry! I didn’t know there’s already someone else!” he shouted from behind the sliding door. He waited, and heard devious giggles instead. “I told you! It was an accident! Poseidon didn’t tell me the hot spring’s occupied!”
“Yutaro…”
“Like I said, I didn’t mean to walk in!”
“Yutaro-kun…”
“I’m terribly sorry for interfering! I won’t tell anyone else! I swear!”
“Yu… Ta… Ro… kun…”
“Just… let me go and…”
A pair of arms seized his body from the behind, completely rendering him speechless and turning him pale white. “What’s the matter, Yutaro? Are you afraid to join us?” Nanoha asked.
Hikki’s face turned red. “But it’s not polite for a boy to join women in open bath!” he insisted. “I’ll just wait for all of you to finish your turn.”
The Ace giggled and tightened her arms around his body. Hikki shivered in fear, because he could feel her breasts comfortably pressed against his back (it was fortunate for him to wear kimono, though, or he’d suffer from involuntary hormone uprising). It was not the kind of treatment he ever expected to have, and he was caught between enjoying it and resisting it.
“Miss Nanoha…”
“Yes, Yutaro-kun?” Nanoha asked.
“Is it alright?” he mumbled.
Nanoha nodded. “We won’t do anything weird to you. We just want to give you a bit of back scrubbing. All. Of. Us,” hotly she whispered.
Hikki twitched. “You mean… you, Miss Fate, Miss Hayate, Miss Keroko, Miss Widuri, Miss Ginga, Ms. Carim, Miss Shamal and Ms. Frieda are…” The boy was knocked out cold, held tightly between Nanoha’s arms before he slipped onto the floor.
Nanoha looked at Hikki’s blissful face. “Looks like you couldn’t resist the invitation, ne?”
Spoiler for epic bluecheeism #3:
“Now, Yutaro, stay still and let me wash your back for you.”
“Y-yes, Miss Fate…”
Hikki sighed. He never thought to have the golden opportunity of sharing the same hot spring with the most gorgeous women he had ever come across. He dared not looking at them, fearing that he would stain the water with blood, fearing that he would spoil the rather good time he was having. (Widuri, Ginga, Hayate, Keroko, Frieda and Carim had finished their turn, and Fate and Nanoha were the only women left to finish the job.)
“Permission to speak, Miss Fate.”
“Yes, Yutaro?”
Hikki gulped. “Why are you and everybody else having interests towards me? I’m just a little kid, and…”
Fate giggled and poured water down his body. “Oh, really? Well, you seem to have fun watching us all the time with your camera,” she said and stepped aside off as to let Nanoha take her turn.
“Besides, Yutaro-kun, you and your naughty eyes can’t help staring at Nanoha-chan and Widuri-chan, can you?” Hayate guessed. “You so remind me of Hikki, you know. Always with his evil chance to ogle his precious Servant.”
“Hayate-sama!” Widuri squealed in embarrassment.
Hikki blushed. “Is it wrong?! It’s normal for a boy to…” He noticed Nanoha laughing at his miserable attempt to make excuses, and he submerged his head in shame. “Sorry…”
Nanoha giggled. “It’s alright. You’re just a little boy, so don’t be too tensed. Just let all tensions to go,” she said and massaged his shoulders. “There. Relax a bit. Let your mind be freed. Pretend none of us are here, and let the warm air cover your body…”
Hikki slowly closed his eyes. “Miss Nanoha…”
“Yes, Yutaro-kun?”
He shook his head. “No. I just thought I want to call you…”
The slide door was opened. Everybody turned their sight to the newcomer. It was Freya, and she looked as if she was not satisfied with what the women were doing to her boyfriend.
“F-Freya?! What the hell are you doing here?” Hikki asked.
“Yutaro…”
Without even letting him answer, Freya took off her towel, and Hikki’s eyes bulged two inches out of their socket at the explicitly delirious fan service. “You must let me scrub your back, too…” she murmured and walked into the water.
Hikki’s ears burned. “But… but why in the world…!”
“Because I’m your lover,” Freya said with a deep blush (Hikki turned from bright red to pale white at the revelation; the women gasped at the confession). “As your girlfriend, I have every right to please him.”
Nanoha moved away from the horror-stricken Hikki. “Well, then, have your time.”
“Thank you, Miss Nanoha…”
Slowly Freya approached Hikki. The rest of the women murmured something, giggling to see Hikki’s panicked reaction to the voluntary service. Hayate and Keroko, especially, silently rooted for Freya, while Widuri and Ginga blushed brightly at the thought of what the girl was going to do.
Freya halted. “You must let me…” she spoke. “Or I’ll cry…”
Hikki returned from his comatose. “Cry? In place like this? HELL NO!” He immediately stood up, forgetting the fact that he was now without a piece of string on his body; thankfully the fog covered some parts). “I won’t let you cry! Ever!”
“Will you?” Freya asked.
Hikki clenched a fist. “With this knuckle, I will pierce through the heavens and beyond tomorrow for you!”
He paused. He noticed all the women were staring at him in shock. It took him a few seconds before he realized his actual condition and quickly dived into the water. “I DIDN’T MEAN TO HARASS ALL OF YOU!” he screamed inside the water.
“Yutaro is quite a healthy boy, isn’t he?” Fate asked. “Reminds me of Erio.”
“And he looks quite cute when he blushes, too,” Keroko added.
Freya took no attention of the ladies and seated behind Hikki. “Yutaro…” she murmured his fake name and pressed her body against his back. “Do you really love me?”
Hikki twitched. “Freya… why are you asking me that question? You’ll only embarrass me in front of these ladies!”
Freya ignored him and continued pressing her chest against him (and making him jolt). “You must… tell me…”
“I… I…”
“I love you with all my heart…” she mumbled and wrapped her arms about his upper body. “If you do love me, then you must let me serve you…” (Widuri blushed bright at the mention of “serve” and hid her burning face behind the bucket). “Yutaro…”
Hikki could answer no more. Overwhelmed by the amount of information that bombarded his mind, and the immensely intimate physical contact, the boy got knocked out and sank into the steamy water. Freya got panicked and shouted his name repeatedly after she brought him to the surface.
“Looks like we’ve gone a bit too far,” Frieda uttered.
“I can’t help it when it’s just a boy,” Carim added.
Spoiler for actual truth:
Outside the perimeter, Poseidon, Zafira, Erio and E exchanged high-fives. “Mission accomplished!” Poseidon announced in whispers. “Now that Freya is occupied with that kid, we can now proceed with our next plan.”
“I’ll kill myself after this…” Zafira moaned and cried manly waterfall tears. Erio did the same and patted his wolf friend’s shoulder.
“I didn’t know hot spring watching is this fun,” E noted.
The trio felt a murderous sensation coming from behind them. They turned around, and saw themselves looking into the eyes of an angry Aura and pissed Takeru.
“You think you can ogle Oneechan that easily, eh?” Aura spoke.
“I’ll kill you if you ever lay a finger upon Frieda…” Takeru murmured.
Poseidon, Erio, E and Zafira gulped. “Takeru… Aura… can we talk?” Poseidon offered.
Alright, then. Since this next post contains massive texts and risky material, I advice all of you to prepare your tissue box.

“Onsen, huh?” Nove pondered and looked at Cinque. Unaware that she was being watched, Cinque continued arranging the picnic table with E’s help. Nove suddenly cackled at the thought of “doing this and that” with her revered Oneesama and blushed in furious manner.
Lutecia glanced at the Number. “Baaka.”
“Sheesh. You’re weirdo. Come, Freya.” Hikki and Freya left the motionless Poseidon and approached Frieda who was helping Nanoha with the meal. “Ms. Frieda, Miss Nanoha, can we help you with anything?”
“Oh, both of you don’t have to,” Frieda uttered. “We’re almost done with these dishes, actually.”
“But you could give us some extra hands on other works,” Nanoha said and gestured toe youngsters to a pile of plates at the other table. “Can you help us arranging the plates before the rest of them arrive?”
“Sure.”
The couple left to arrange the cutleries. Frieda and Nanoha chuckled at the intimate closeness of Hikki and Freya. “They remind me of one of my friends and his girlfriend,” Nanoha uttered.
“Who might that person be, hmm?” Frieda guessed.
Nanoha giggled. “He was supposed to come with us, but for some reasons he had to attend a meeting with the Wind Talkers at Britannia,” she said and grumbled afterwards. “That Hikki… I only wish he can learn to respect us women…”
(Hikki sneezed. “Cold, Yutaro?” Freya asked.
“I don’t think so,” the boy answered and shuddered.)
“I bet he’s feeling alone out there right now,” Frieda wondered.
“He is, though,” Nanoha said. “Widuri-chan is here. Fuuko-chan is here. Even I’m here. I just don’t want to hear news of him chasing after other women when the three of us are here.”
(Hikki shivered. “Damn it. I heard what you’re saying!”)
“Let me guess,” Frieda said and teasingly elbowed Nanoha. “You seem to be in deep admirations towards him, don’t you?”
Nanoha blushed. So did Hikki, who was forced to stop working after Freya found that he was breaking down from “heat stroke”. Frieda noticed Nanoha’s uneasy reaction and chuckled. “Come on. Tell me. It’s just between us. We’re woman, right?” she said.
“Well… I… you see… ettou…” Nanoha fiddled with her fingers, too shy to tell the gunslinger woman the exact truth. “Mou! Frieda-san, are you trying to set me up?” she squealed.
“Not really,” Frieda answered and looked at Hikki and Freya, the former was fanned by Poseidon who was heard shouting for medical help. She giggled when Hikki was knocked out cold after Widuri gave him a healing embrace (the Unison Device apologized for what she did).
“Oneechan!”
Frieda and Nanoha looked down at Fuuko and Caro. “Yes, Fuuko dear, what is it?” Nanoha asked.
“When are we going to have onsen?” Fuuko asked.
“How about tonight?” Frieda suggested. “I’ve reserved the hot spring for our use. We can go there whenever we want along our holiday here.”
“Yaay! Onsen!” Fuuko cheered and gave Caro a very tight hug. “We’re going to have onsen! Fuuko loves onsen!”

// after several hours of time-skip //
Hikki was as restless as ever. He had worked all day long during the picnic, and he was in the urgent need for refreshment. The rest of the children were also tired, having had spent the remaining day playing at the beach. At one corner of the room, Aura was feeding the distraught Takeru with watermelon slice; at another corner, Erio was surrounded by the likes of Cinque, Nove, Lutecia, Annabelle and Caro as they gave him a very angry look for reasons only God knows. Kha was fanning himself while sitting outside, eating watermelon with Vita and Signum. Fuuko was with her antics as usual, chasing after yarn balls and making Erio blush at the bubbly sight (it, too, made him eat Caro’s annoyed fist). Freya was sitting next to him, peacefully dozing upon his shoulder, tired.
(It was also supposed to be the children’s turn to use the hot spring but they decided to go there after dinner. Again, Erio blushed at the thought of surrounded by young and beautiful women -- he managed to eye on Aura for a while before Takeru gave him the look of a hungry, angry wolf.)
“Damn,” Hikki murmured and outstretched his arms. “This is one hectic day.” He glanced at Poseidon who was conspiring something with Zafira, E and Arf. The tiger noticed the boy and waved in silly manners to him. “Stupid. I need to go now.”
“Where are you going?” Freya asked when Hikki shrugged her off.
“To the hot spring,” he sighed and grabbed the towel. “I need to take a quick bath before dinner.” He noticed everyone inside the room stared at him strangely due to the statement. “What?”
Poseidon stepped in front of him, arms spread wide as if it would not let him proceed. “You don’t know what lies ahead of you,” it spoke (Zafira, E and Arf nodded to agree).
“Look, tiger,” Hikki hissed and prodded Poseidon’s chest. “I need a bath, and you aren’t going to step in my way. Or is it because you did something to the bamboo screen, didn’t you?”
“No! Of course not! I wouldn’t do such a devious thing!” Poseidon replied. Hikki ignored the tiger and continued walking towards the hot spring. “Yutaro! Wait! You know the ladies are in there, don’t you?” Poseidon shouted.
Hikki turned back to the tiger. “I thought they already used the hot spring,” he insisted.
Poseidon grabbed his shoulders. “Listen up, Yutaro. If you go there right now, you are in for the worst disaster you ever imagine.”
“Shut up,” Hikki said and brushed the paws off. “You just want to peek on the woman yourself.”
“For this once, listen to me!” Poseidon pleaded. “You mustn’t go there!”
“SUPREME GIBSON BUSTER!!!!”
Poseidon was launched into the air, piercing through the many layers of ceilings and floors before it disappeared in the starry sky. “Stupid tiger…” Hikki mumbled, his fist tingling in pain after delivering the hard-hitting uppercut, and headed towards the hot spring’s entrance door. “I just need to have some quick bath and…”
He stopped.
The pool was indeed occupied! And the women were all cloth-less, too!
(Beyond the corner, Zafira, Vita, Signum, Freya, Aura, Takeru, Kha, Annabelle, Caro, Lutecia and Erio peeked at him and silently cackled, with the exception of Freya who was fuming in jealously.
“We’re very sorry, Yutaro…” Zafira mumbled, hands making Buddha’s gestures and eyes crying waterfall. “We tried to tell you that Poseidon planned all this, but…”
“You and Poseidon planned this, didn’t you?” Aura asked.
The wolf stooped its head. “I’m sorry…”)
To make matters worse, Hayate was seen doing physical examination onto Widuri and the Unison Device was moaning for help, her facial expression a mixture of bliss and distress. Hikki blushed at the sight of his Servant crying for help, even as Hayate laughingly balanced her loads in her hands.
“What in the world is this atrocity?!”
The women noticed his yell. Hikki was struck in horror and immediately rushed back in. “I’m sorry! I didn’t know there’s already someone else!” he shouted from behind the sliding door. He waited, and heard devious giggles instead. “I told you! It was an accident! Poseidon didn’t tell me the hot spring’s occupied!”
“Yutaro…”
“Like I said, I didn’t mean to walk in!”
“Yutaro-kun…”
“I’m terribly sorry for interfering! I won’t tell anyone else! I swear!”
“Yu… Ta… Ro… kun…”
“Just… let me go and…”
A pair of arms seized his body from the behind, completely rendering him speechless and turning him pale white. “What’s the matter, Yutaro? Are you afraid to join us?” Nanoha asked.
Hikki’s face turned red. “But it’s not polite for a boy to join women in open bath!” he insisted. “I’ll just wait for all of you to finish your turn.”
The Ace giggled and tightened her arms around his body. Hikki shivered in fear, because he could feel her breasts comfortably pressed against his back (it was fortunate for him to wear kimono, though, or he’d suffer from involuntary hormone uprising). It was not the kind of treatment he ever expected to have, and he was caught between enjoying it and resisting it.
“Miss Nanoha…”
“Yes, Yutaro-kun?” Nanoha asked.
“Is it alright?” he mumbled.
Nanoha nodded. “We won’t do anything weird to you. We just want to give you a bit of back scrubbing. All. Of. Us,” hotly she whispered.
Hikki twitched. “You mean… you, Miss Fate, Miss Hayate, Miss Keroko, Miss Widuri, Miss Ginga, Ms. Carim, Miss Shamal and Ms. Frieda are…” The boy was knocked out cold, held tightly between Nanoha’s arms before he slipped onto the floor.
Nanoha looked at Hikki’s blissful face. “Looks like you couldn’t resist the invitation, ne?”
Spoiler for epic bluecheeism #3:
“Now, Yutaro, stay still and let me wash your back for you.”
“Y-yes, Miss Fate…”
Hikki sighed. He never thought to have the golden opportunity of sharing the same hot spring with the most gorgeous women he had ever come across. He dared not looking at them, fearing that he would stain the water with blood, fearing that he would spoil the rather good time he was having. (Widuri, Ginga, Hayate, Keroko, Frieda and Carim had finished their turn, and Fate and Nanoha were the only women left to finish the job.)
“Permission to speak, Miss Fate.”
“Yes, Yutaro?”
Hikki gulped. “Why are you and everybody else having interests towards me? I’m just a little kid, and…”
Fate giggled and poured water down his body. “Oh, really? Well, you seem to have fun watching us all the time with your camera,” she said and stepped aside off as to let Nanoha take her turn.
“Besides, Yutaro-kun, you and your naughty eyes can’t help staring at Nanoha-chan and Widuri-chan, can you?” Hayate guessed. “You so remind me of Hikki, you know. Always with his evil chance to ogle his precious Servant.”
“Hayate-sama!” Widuri squealed in embarrassment.
Hikki blushed. “Is it wrong?! It’s normal for a boy to…” He noticed Nanoha laughing at his miserable attempt to make excuses, and he submerged his head in shame. “Sorry…”
Nanoha giggled. “It’s alright. You’re just a little boy, so don’t be too tensed. Just let all tensions to go,” she said and massaged his shoulders. “There. Relax a bit. Let your mind be freed. Pretend none of us are here, and let the warm air cover your body…”
Hikki slowly closed his eyes. “Miss Nanoha…”
“Yes, Yutaro-kun?”
He shook his head. “No. I just thought I want to call you…”
The slide door was opened. Everybody turned their sight to the newcomer. It was Freya, and she looked as if she was not satisfied with what the women were doing to her boyfriend.
“F-Freya?! What the hell are you doing here?” Hikki asked.
“Yutaro…”
Without even letting him answer, Freya took off her towel, and Hikki’s eyes bulged two inches out of their socket at the explicitly delirious fan service. “You must let me scrub your back, too…” she murmured and walked into the water.
Hikki’s ears burned. “But… but why in the world…!”
“Because I’m your lover,” Freya said with a deep blush (Hikki turned from bright red to pale white at the revelation; the women gasped at the confession). “As your girlfriend, I have every right to please him.”
Nanoha moved away from the horror-stricken Hikki. “Well, then, have your time.”
“Thank you, Miss Nanoha…”
Slowly Freya approached Hikki. The rest of the women murmured something, giggling to see Hikki’s panicked reaction to the voluntary service. Hayate and Keroko, especially, silently rooted for Freya, while Widuri and Ginga blushed brightly at the thought of what the girl was going to do.
Freya halted. “You must let me…” she spoke. “Or I’ll cry…”
Hikki returned from his comatose. “Cry? In place like this? HELL NO!” He immediately stood up, forgetting the fact that he was now without a piece of string on his body; thankfully the fog covered some parts). “I won’t let you cry! Ever!”
“Will you?” Freya asked.
Hikki clenched a fist. “With this knuckle, I will pierce through the heavens and beyond tomorrow for you!”
He paused. He noticed all the women were staring at him in shock. It took him a few seconds before he realized his actual condition and quickly dived into the water. “I DIDN’T MEAN TO HARASS ALL OF YOU!” he screamed inside the water.
“Yutaro is quite a healthy boy, isn’t he?” Fate asked. “Reminds me of Erio.”
“And he looks quite cute when he blushes, too,” Keroko added.
Freya took no attention of the ladies and seated behind Hikki. “Yutaro…” she murmured his fake name and pressed her body against his back. “Do you really love me?”
Hikki twitched. “Freya… why are you asking me that question? You’ll only embarrass me in front of these ladies!”
Freya ignored him and continued pressing her chest against him (and making him jolt). “You must… tell me…”
“I… I…”
“I love you with all my heart…” she mumbled and wrapped her arms about his upper body. “If you do love me, then you must let me serve you…” (Widuri blushed bright at the mention of “serve” and hid her burning face behind the bucket). “Yutaro…”
Hikki could answer no more. Overwhelmed by the amount of information that bombarded his mind, and the immensely intimate physical contact, the boy got knocked out and sank into the steamy water. Freya got panicked and shouted his name repeatedly after she brought him to the surface.
“Looks like we’ve gone a bit too far,” Frieda uttered.
“I can’t help it when it’s just a boy,” Carim added.
Spoiler for actual truth:
Outside the perimeter, Poseidon, Zafira, Erio and E exchanged high-fives. “Mission accomplished!” Poseidon announced in whispers. “Now that Freya is occupied with that kid, we can now proceed with our next plan.”
“I’ll kill myself after this…” Zafira moaned and cried manly waterfall tears. Erio did the same and patted his wolf friend’s shoulder.
“I didn’t know hot spring watching is this fun,” E noted.
The trio felt a murderous sensation coming from behind them. They turned around, and saw themselves looking into the eyes of an angry Aura and pissed Takeru.
“You think you can ogle Oneechan that easily, eh?” Aura spoke.
“I’ll kill you if you ever lay a finger upon Frieda…” Takeru murmured.
Poseidon, Erio, E and Zafira gulped. “Takeru… Aura… can we talk?” Poseidon offered.
"My lord the foul influence of the hedonist chaos gods continues to fester on the planet!"

"Drowned in a wave of burning blood somehow ejected by the vile heretics noses!"

It couldn’t be helped that much fan service drew Slaanesh like a moth to flame and then all that spilling blood… man Khorne damn near creamed his pants. Meanwhile all the chaos and change got Tzeentch interested and all that blood laying around was just festering with disease so Nurgle was like “sweet!” the planet was doomed and it's all your fault...
WHAT IS THIS HUGE AMOUNT OF WIN GOING AT LIGHTSPEED? ONWARD TO 11000

DIARY OF A WINDTALKER
SUMMER ARC SPECIAL, CHAPTER V
Spoiler for epic bluecheeism #1:
“After two days of outdoor and indoor activities, what do we get from this summer holiday? Nothing! I mean NOTHING! And with two days remaining, we ought to do what every holiday-goer is compelled to accomplish! It’s bathing in the hot spring! Do you listen to me, people? IT’S HOT SPRING! Therefore we are obliged to visit one of Mid-Childa’s best natural hot springs! Yes, ladies and gentlemen! IT’S ONSEN TIME! OOH-RAH!”
Hikki and Freya glared at Poseidon. “Who the hell are you talking to, Poseidon?” Hikki sneered.
“Seriously, Poseidon, you suck,” Freya jeered.
Poseidon gagged. The tiger was at loss of words to explain. Moreover, its one-man show made everyone in the hilltop picnic site stare at it in suspicious manner. Even Takeru and Aura gave Poseidon the look of “what do you think you’re doing?”, and Poseidon was immersed in the lake of shame.

Slowly Freya approached Hikki. The rest of the women murmured something, giggling to see Hikki’s panicked reaction to the voluntary service. Hayate and Keroko, especially, silently rooted for Freya, while Widuri and Ginga blushed brightly at the thought of what the girl was going to do.
Freya halted. “You must let me…” she spoke. “Or I’ll cry…”
Hikki returned from his comatose. “Cry? In place like this? HELL NO!” He immediately stood up, forgetting the fact that he was now without a piece of string on his body; thankfully the fog covered some parts). “I won’t let you cry! Ever!”
“Will you?” Freya asked.
Hikki clenched a fist. “With this knuckle, I will pierce through the heavens and beyond tomorrow for you!”
He paused. He noticed all the women were staring at him in shock. It took him a few seconds before he realized his actual condition and quickly dived into the water. “I DIDN’T MEAN TO HARASS ALL OF YOU!” he screamed inside the water.
“Yutaro is quite a healthy boy, isn’t he?” Fate asked. “Reminds me of Erio.”
“And he looks quite cute when he blushes, too,” Keroko added.
Freya took no attention of the ladies and seated behind Hikki. “Yutaro…” she murmured his fake name and pressed her body against his back. “Do you really love me?”
Hikki twitched. “Freya… why are you asking me that question? You’ll only embarrass me in front of these ladies!”
Freya ignored him and continued pressing her chest against him (and making him jolt). “You must… tell me…”
“I… I…”
“I love you with all my heart…” she mumbled and wrapped her arms about his upper body. “If you do love me, then you must let me serve you…” (Widuri blushed bright at the mention of “serve” and hid her burning face behind the bucket). “Yutaro…”
Hikki could answer no more. Overwhelmed by the amount of information that bombarded his mind, and the immensely intimate physical contact, the boy got knocked out and sank into the steamy water. Freya got panicked and shouted his name repeatedly after she brought him to the surface.
“Looks like we’ve gone a bit too far,” Frieda uttered.
“I can’t help it when it’s just a boy,” Carim added.
Spoiler for actual truth:
Outside the perimeter, Poseidon, Zafira, Erio and E exchanged high-fives. “Mission accomplished!” Poseidon announced in whispers. “Now that Freya is occupied with that kid, we can now proceed with our next plan.”
“I’ll kill myself after this…” Zafira moaned and cried manly waterfall tears. Erio did the same and patted his wolf friend’s shoulder.
“I didn’t know hot spring watching is this fun,” E noted.
The trio felt a murderous sensation coming from behind them. They turned around, and saw themselves looking into the eyes of an angry Aura and pissed Takeru.
“You think you can ogle Oneechan that easily, eh?” Aura spoke.
“I’ll kill you if you ever lay a finger upon Frieda…” Takeru murmured.
Poseidon, Erio, E and Zafira gulped. “Takeru… Aura… can we talk?” Poseidon offered.
She got up to the walkway, and up the stairs, where Wolf was waiting for her, his sword on the ground.
“Hand to hand, the basis of all combat, Megane…”
“What do you mean?” she replied, confused that Wolf would disarm himself.
“Fight me without any of your so-called Devices.” he said. “It couldn’t be…” There was only one person that Sydney knew had a penchant for hand-to-hand combat so much that he would fight mages with only his hands: Yacoby Gerim. “He’s dead…he’s supposed to be. I saw him die.”
“Without any Devices….alright then. Apex, Equinox, mode release."
“[Ma’am!]”
“[Meister!]”
“Don’t worry about me, just do what I tell you to do.”
“[Alright then…]” both of them said, sounding concerned about her. Even though they didn’t like it, they followed her order anyway.
“Good…” Wolf said, kicking his sword out of the way and going into a combat stance. Sydney put away her Devices and also prepared for combat.
“Make me feel the rush of it again!” he yelled before charging at her.
Here's another try.... Same start but different ending. Any better?
Spoiler for Uh oh v2:
-This is before O’Neil’s pep-talk but after Chaos’s… well chaos
It was nearly the end of the day. Groups of mages were streaming out of the practice fields, getting ready to go home after a stressful day of training. Myristic nodded at them as he walked past; wanting to make sure they had left the rooms tidy for tomorrow.
The corridors were empty, and he had checked all but one floor. Making his way down the stairs, the unexpected force and shockwave of a magical explosion breaking through the containment barriers nearly knocked him off his feet. The corridor was bathed in a brilliant red as he raced around the corner, throwing open the door to the room.
The far wall of the room was now a singed black with hints of red in the centre, thin layers of black ash covering the room in various locations. The obliterated remains of what should be a target dummy lay smoking on the floor, the bottom half of the stand visible among the debris. In the middle of it all stood a single person. One that Myristic had never expected to find on the grounds. The top of her head was covered in ash, contrasting with the vibrant red of her hair, an uncanny match to her barrier jacket.
“Yare yare, ” Myristic said, shaking his head….. “I recall extending an open invitation to all of RF6 to use out facilities if they need to….. BUT…..Of all the rooms you had to pick, it had to be one of those reserved for the cadets, with A-rank shield generators.” The figure remained silent, bringing her left arm up to brush through her hair. “So what brings you here, other than to destroy our facilities, Keroko-taichou… or should I say…. Deathwing-sama?”
Ash fell to the floor around her as she turned; deactivating her barrier jacket, head up proud, meeting Myristic’s eyes. She held her gaze for seconds before turning away, clearly embarrassed at what she had done. “Go..gomen.”
“Well this is a side that I haven’t seen of you before…. Then again, I never expected this to happen either… so maybe it’s one of those days.”
“Not a bad day” She sighed “… more like a bad week…. It just got more and more stressful.. Although I do feel a lot better now.”
Myristic threw his head back, laughter erupting at the last comment. Soon after she joined in, filling the room with joy and happiness. “Right, let’s get this place cleaned up.”
*****
Cleaning over, they headed over to the officer quarters in silence. The entrance was lit, a warm inviting glow. As they passed under the light, Myristic noticed the ash still in her hair. “You better wash once we get up there… otherwise it’s going to be hell to get out later.”
“Eehh?” Reaching up behind her, Keroko ran her fingers through her hair before bringing them to her eyes. “Aahh mou….” She pouted at the sight… “I’m just going to borrow your shower…”
“No worries, first door on the right after you go up the stairs.”
“Thanks!” She said as she raced off.
*****
“Georashi-san…. Are you ok?” She had been in the shower for the last half hour and Myristic was starting to get a little worried.
“I’m fine.” She called, “Just trying to get it all out.”
“Do you need any help?” He asked.
“If you don’t mind…. I’ll be out in a second.”
A minute later, the door to the bath opened, Keroko stepping out, her blouse and skirt spotted with ash. Myristic turned at the sound of the door, shaking his head, “So what was the point of the shower if you’re just going to wear the same dirty clothes…?” he asked. “You can borrow one of my shirts you know.”
“Well… I considered coming out in a towel…..” Blood rushed to Myristic’s cheeks at the thought, “I can if you want…” she teased playfully.
“What happens if I asked you to make good on that….” Myristic counted. It was Keroko’s turn to blush, her red cheeks coming close to matching her hair.
“I’d kick you where it hurts and then storm out of here…” She replied as she sat down in front of him on the edge of the bed. “Here.” Reaching behind her, she passed him the brush that she had been using. “There’s just a patch that I can’t seem to shake free.”
Myristic took the brush from her hands and gently ran it through her hair, small flakes of black falling away as he pulled through. He continued for another five minutes in silence until Keroko spoke up, “Ahh that feels really good… where did you learn to brush a girl’s hair like this?” She asked.
“My sisters… also I got quite a bit of practice with the female Weavers…” He checked with his fingers for any missed fragments before announcing, “All done.”
“WAI!! Thanks!!” She jumped up from the bed using her hands to push her forward. “I’ll take you up on that offer of clothes.” With that, she disappeared again into the bathroom. Amused at her actions, that her mood had changed so dramatically in the space of 2 or so hours, he opened his wardrobe, pulling out a plain shirt.
“Hmm, I think my pants will be too large for her… now how it this going to work..” He said aloud. “I guess I can just borrow something from Mei.” He hung the shirt on the door, “There’s a shirt on the door,” he called, “Just trying to find a bottom… be back in a moment.”
*****
It took 10 minutes for him to get a skirt. Most of that time consisted of attempts by Meia to figure out who his ‘girlfriend’ was, followed by denials, that she was just a friend, nothing more. ‘Actually I’m still not sure she believes me….’ He thought. Myristic sighed… ‘I’m going to have to clear this up quick; otherwise the office is going to be really annoying next week.’ He stepped back inside his quarters to see Keroko in his shirt and nothing else, getting a glass of water. “Errrr, the skirts on the bed!” he called as a made a hasty retreat, heading back towards the door.
At that moment, he door to the room swung open, “Sir, Admiral Chrono is here to see you.” Isamu announced as they stepped inside.
“Captain, good to see you… Great news, your request for funding was…..” Chrono’s voice trailed off as Keroko walked into view, making her way to the bed.
“Thanks Myristic for all this,” she called, unaware of Chrono and Isamu standing at the door. Reaching the bed, she stopped and picked the skirt up before turning to face the door, “KYAAAAAAA.” Her cry of surprise filled the room as she ran out of sight.
“….. I think this is a bad time….. Captain… Make an appointment to see me ASAP.”
"Wait...." The door closed behind them as they made a hurried exit.." It's not what you think it is.."
"This week is just getting worse and worse......" Keroko complained around the corner.
--------------
Final thought from Myristic ‘I’m so dead on Monday….’
Final thought from Keroko ‘Can it get any worse?’
Well that was nice
Good to see there wasn't any scandals from this
MUCH better!

I’m ripped off aspects of at least a half dozen space operas in building this thing but I think it’s a damn well balanced ship all around.
Some of the tech is a little more ambiguous then I normally write about technical systems, but I didn’t want to set too many hard numbers since you can get into the "yield" (mines bigger then yours!) game if you're not careful.
He needs a plug since I'll probably rip off some of his other stuff to bulk out the fleet... (and he dose nice work)
Role: Battleship/carrier hybrid (tilted toward the former to a significant degree) Length: 960m Height: 176m Width: 480m Crew:
-Around 250 Navy crewmen that run the ship proper
-Likewise about another 250 maintainers and pilots focused on her Air Wing.
-A company of combat mages.
-In a full planetary invasion configuration or in an emergency situation she can take on up to 10,000 passengers for short durations. Air, water, and food aren’t the issue overcrowding and lack of faculties for so many people is the main limiter. Cruising Range:
Effectively unlimited it’s estimated the ship could cruiser for 20 years non-stop before it’s reactor would need fueling, heavy combat could reduce this considerably but the need to rotate crew is still the main limiting factor. Combat ability is also degraded if the ship expends its ammo supply and is forced to rely solely on its DEWs. Air Wing:
24 F-305 “Eryines” Space Superiority Fighters
12 F-309 “Hercules” Heavy Space Fighters
12 B-310 “Ursa” Space Bombers
6 DS-77 “Pelican” Dropships
12 Fighters and 6 bombers are stored armed and ready to launch as soon as a pilot boards them in the rapid deployment bays at the rear of the ship. The rest of ships are launched from the same bays being loaded in after the first wave launches the entire Wing can normally be launched in under 3 minutes assuming the pilots are nearby. Recovering is effected via a large hatch at the very rear of the ship with the fighter simply flying into the rear hanger and being arrested by a magnetized deck. (think NBSG Viper Recovery)
Offensive Systems:
The Excalibur is massively armed as befitting its role as the line ship of the defense fleets it has a range of weapons for all occasions and excellent fire control all around. These systems include… 64x 60mm Super Rapid Railguns (SRR60):
A small point defense weapon the Railguns can put out a cloud of defensive fire against anything approaching the ship from nearly any angle. Each gun can fire over 2,000 rounds per minute of several different types of ammunition. This massive rate of fire is their main advantage energy weapons are nearly universally more powerful, but none can match the sheer wall of defensive fire the railguns can project. Ammo types:
-AHEAD rounds: Explosively fused munitions set to burst in proximity to targets or at a set distance, high-tech flak rounds for the most part. Bursting the shells results in a cloud of casings directed in the original line of travel, much like a shotgun blast. The preferred load for fragging weakly defended guided weapons such as missiles, it’s effectiveness against shielded fighters is much lower and against warships the tiny spray of shrapnel is nearly useless.
-Armor Piercing: Saboted trinium darts hurled at extreme speed at targets that use direct impacts to do their damage rather more effective against fighters, but if they need direct hits. Still pretty toothless against warships though.
-Bombardment rounds: Fairly easy to figure out these are much like AP only encased in a heat shield that burns up as it enters the atmosphere rather then a discarding Sabot. A focused barrage of these can be exceedingly deadly. Each slug weighs around 2 kilogram but impacts at nearly 11,000 meters per second or something like mach 30… This gives it an impact force something like a large aircraft bomb and thousands of these can be pumped onto a target resulting in what can only be described as a meteor shower from hell… A sustained barrage can easily turn cities in a blasted hellscape nearly devoid of life outside of heavy armored bunkers.
-Naquadah rounds: The rarest and most deadly munitions Naquadah has the unique ability (when properly refined) to amplify energy pump into it be that from kinetic, thermal, or explosive sources. It can turn a simple missile into a nuclear level explosive or a nuclear bomb into a continent buster. When fired from the railgun each slug has around 2 kilotons of force assuming an impact, if it misses it dose nothing. If combined with a bombardments rounds heat shield and fired at planets with each of thethousands of round impacting with the force of a small nuclear bomb it can easily create a rolling wall of death that can sweep cities off the map. Naquadah has many uses though and shitting it away as bullets is one of the least preferred so most ships keep only a small supply of it aboard.
Medium/DP Directed Energy Weapons:
Medium sized twin mounts these weapons are in between a point defense and anti-warship cannons hence the DP or “Dual Purpose” designation. The guns can be fired both as point defense weapons and on enemy warships (mostly smaller ones) performing passably if not exceptional in either. They also have two modes (another reason behind the DP designation) the first is a continuous beam this mode is faster and longer ranged but deals damage over time, the other is a “pulse” setting that while slower focus allot of power into one shot to batter down shields or deliver a big spike of damage, it’s acutally dose slightly more damage overtime too, but it’s much slower and mostly useful at close range.
Heavy Directed Energy Weapons:
Basiclly a scaled up version of the medium mount, but it’s slower recharge and tracking speeds make it largely useless against smaller maneuvering craft. It has much higher striking power though make it fairly effective against even heavy enemy warships, like the smaller mount it has both pulse and beam modes.
16x Torpedo Tubes:
These large tubes each pack a missile the size of a small fighter armed with a dozen terminal attack vehicles loaded with Naquadah pumped nuclear weapons. The missiles are large and somewhat slow, but as they near the target they break apart and deploy the there 12 attack vehicles which are much faster and more agile. The missile is also big enough to mount some shielding and ECM systems making it somewhat harder to shot down to start with. Each tube also has one reload.
38x Multi-Purpose Missile Tubes:
Smaller then the torpedoes these tubes can fire a number of different payloads ranging from packs of short range interceptor missiles, to medium range area defense missiles, up to light anti-ship weapons. They can be reloaded from an internal magazine with a total payload of around 800 missiles, most of those being the smaller intercept and defense weapons with perhaps 100 being light anti-ship rounds.
2x 2.5 Meter (2,500 millimeter) Super-heavy Railguns:
Mounted spinally (IE fixed into the Hull and pointed forward) these paired weapons are one of the ships hardest hitters. Each Slug that weighs in at roughly 5 tons and is accelerate to around 1% simple kinetic energy alone gives them a yield of around 5 megatons, the fact most of the shells are loaded with a variable charge of Naquadah prior to firing means the yield is adjustable up to low gigatons. Despite the speed of the slugs space ships can move fast and these weapons are fairly short ranged, at least in terms of effective range. When bombing planets this isn’t an issue though and the slugs can easily be chucked from light seconds away at the target. Ammo is also limited as the shells are quite heavy and the rate of fire is glacial.
2xArc-en-ciel-M (miniaturized):
Based on an Arc-en-ciel but much scaled down to be more tactically viable these two cannons are the ships biggest sticks, but despite their much smaller size then the standard cannon are still huge energy hogs with a significant charging time. The beam is also fairly slow and can be dodged by a nimble enemy, the blast radius of about 10 kilometers sounds impressive but it’s a pittance in space, fast moving combat spacecraft can cover that distance in milliseconds at combat thrust, and thus direct hits are required and the somewhat slow propagation of the beam can make that difficult at extended range. The scaling down has also greatly reduced the space-time rending aspect and weapons of this class can often be resisted by heavy warship shielding, though damage to the shielding is normally extensive and most smaller ships are destroyed instantly by a double shot.
Defensive Systems:
Given it’s role of engaging enemy heavy warships head to head the Excalibur requires a tough jaw to go with it’s killer punch to that end the ship mounts an array of systems meant to ensure it’s survivability in combat.
Armored Hull:
The last line of defense the hull is composed of a Trinium/Naquadah composite that combines great mechanical strength with excellent energy absorption and redistribution properties. Even stripped of shielding the hull can be expected to survive at least several minutes of heavy energy or kinetic weapons fire without serious breeches.
Hull Shield:
Also commonly called a “bubble shield” this shield is projected a few meters off the hull and completely encases the ship defending it from all angles. It’s effective in that it defends from all directions at once, but it’s weak in that it’s not all that resistant to heavy impacts which can overwhelm potions of the shield and allow leakage onto the hull. It’s segmented into six sectors fore, aft, port, starboard, ventral, and lateral. Each section can be reinforced at the expense of others as needed or the entire grind can be strengthen by diverting power from other systems (most commonly drives or weapons) into it.
Unidirectional Barrier system:
A second defense system that’s able to direct two large flat shields about 400 meters around about the ship. These barriers are far stronger and harder to breech then the defense fields but can only defend a small potion of the overall sky around the vessel. Also though tougher they’re hardly invincible and can be overpowered by large hits or sustained fire, they can also be overlapped on each other to provide truly massive protection to one area of the ship, useful for attempting to deflect main gun fire.
EM Defense Field:
Projected out further from the hull this field doesn’t stop fire per se, but instead aims to defuse and blunt it before it impacts the shielding proper. It’s only effective against energy weapons fire though and it works by breaking up the containment field of various sort of beams and bolts thus weakening and diffusing the hits prior to impact. This field is also one of the reason Kinetic weapons are still popular as it’s worthless against matter like missiles and slugs.
Mics Systems: Power:
The ship is powered by a magically derived “core tap” that draws power from dimensional space, doing this takes quite a bit of power to begin with which is provided by an array of Naquada reactors, if the Core-Tap system is disabled these can also continue to power the ship at a significantly reduced level.
Engines: Sub-Space Drives:
These drives are fairly standard issue and use a combination of vectored thrust and mass manipulation to achieve high sub-light acceleration (Full military thrust is around 3,000 G acceleration) and high maneuverability thanks to integrated inertial control. Said control also keeps the crew from going splat during these maneuvers… Long Range ID (Inter-Dimensional) Drive:
The standard FTL/ID drive used by most bureau ships.
Teleporters:
Standard bureau teleporters, beam me up Scotty.
Drop Pods:
Teleports can be jammed, pods falling through the atmosphere at mach 10… not so much. When the teleporters aren’t an option and the desired LZ is too hot for dropships that’s when you use these.
“Feet First into hell!”
ECM system:
A vital bit of kit carried by nearly all warships modern ECM systems are truly wondrous or infuriating (Depending on whose shooting at who) devices. They jam, confuse, and otherwise stupefy various sorts of sensors and modern ones can even obscure infrared and visual detection to the point that engagement ranges can sometimes be close enough for the sides to see each other with their own eyes, and in large fleet battles with high levels of it about the battlefield even THEN target locks can be difficult to obtain! It also serves the purpose of largely hiding the ship from less developed planets when operating in or around them.
Sensors:
When not being jammed to hell by enemy ECM the sensor systems aboard are very capable reading license plates from orbit, sniffing out a few molecules of exhaust from tens of thousands of miles away, etc are entirely possible and often done.
History:TBW
This baby is LOADED!
Melikes thse railguns.

E's embarassment at present was only going to rise when the olive-haired man put forward a question.
"And, tell me", he stated, inquisitively, "What did you...feel...when that fellow made a move on her, hm?" Despite his older appearance, his voice contained an air of mischief. "Something must have passed through your mind, what with another person having eyes for the one you-"
"I-It isn't like that!" E lowered his head at once, his face lit up like a torch. "I mean...it's my duty to protect her and..."
He was cut off when L leaned forwards, his grin widening, yet he still kept his calm tone. "Hmmm? It seems to me that, besides your protective instinct, you feel something..else, no?"
The boy stammered, and found himself at a loss for words. J chuckled, appraisingly. "Oh, well, well..." He glanced at the other Letter besides himself and the blushing figure present in the room, namely D. "Looks like we have someone stricken with a case of..." He paused, somewhat dramatically, then continued, still retaining his smirk.
"Amore...wouldn't you say so?"
D's sole visible eye, the other concealed behind his half-mask, leapt up at the words like a dog on a bone.
"Amore...ka?"
E wheeled round to look at the partially-masked character, and J's look morphed into one of fear, noticing D's sudden apprehension of the words he had said. D had been known amongst the group for his dramatic acts when certain phrases were uttered- and love was no exception.
"...Damn."
Eh, the ending was rather...random.
This piece is still under consideration, too- but, do tell me what you all think, fellow readers.
PLease continue.

So a true spoiler for once, I had not planned to reveal this yet due to wishing for surprise effects, but I needs names.
Spoiler for Current Limit Break data:
The idea was to have a Limit Break that focusses on Keroko's specialty, namely versitallity. Artherion will change into two energy blades (yes, I swayed for Fate's awesomness in episode 24 it was stronger then me. ) Keroko's Barrier Jacket becomes the ranged part by turning the two gems on her shoulders into multi-target cannons. The magical version of shoulder-mounted missile launchers, really.
However, when it came down to naming them, I ran on dry ground. For the blades, I never got further then 'Force Sabers'. Cool name, but it lacks that 'wow' effect. The Barrier Jacket... Well, I got to Impulse Form, but then I remembered episode 5.
So if anyone could give some suggestions for names, it would be very apreciated.
'Executioner/Execution mode'?

Since Nanoha is all about copypasta for plot materials, I just recycle a similar concept to the Knight's constant revivals, only difference is that they live much longer before dying, and are doing it out of their own will, choosing to suffer for XXX amount of years over countless generations, awaiting the time when they could find and awaken their King so that his Wings will guide their path.
And IF Yuuno will be the King, it'll be the whole "weight of burden vs conflict of self" character development from him, tying similarly to how he blames himself a little for the fault of S1's Jewel Seed thing. Rest assured that I won't do the "OMG MEMORY OVERRIDE" or "DARK YUUNO" bullshit. Anyway, him being the villain ISN'T fully confirmed yet either, since I'm not sure if I want apple or orange better in the case of the final villain...

Alright, then. Since this next post contains massive texts and risky material, I advice all of you to prepare your tissue box.
DIARY OF A WINDTALKER
SUMMER ARC SPECIAL, CHAPTER V
Spoiler for epic bluecheeism #1:
“After two days of outdoor and indoor activities, what do we get from this summer holiday? Nothing! I mean NOTHING! And with two days remaining, we ought to do what every holiday-goer is compelled to accomplish! It’s bathing in the hot spring! Do you listen to me, people? IT’S HOT SPRING! Therefore we are obliged to visit one of Mid-Childa’s best natural hot springs! Yes, ladies and gentlemen! IT’S ONSEN TIME! OOH-RAH!”
Hikki and Freya glared at Poseidon. “Who the hell are you talking to, Poseidon?” Hikki sneered.
“Seriously, Poseidon, you suck,” Freya jeered.
Poseidon gagged. The tiger was at loss of words to explain. Moreover, its one-man show made everyone in the hilltop picnic site stare at it in suspicious manner. Even Takeru and Aura gave Poseidon the look of “what do you think you’re doing?”, and Poseidon was immersed in the lake of shame.
“Onsen, huh?” Nove pondered and looked at Cinque. Unaware that she was being watched, Cinque continued arranging the picnic table with E’s help. Nove suddenly cackled at the thought of “doing this and that” with her revered Oneesama and blushed in furious manner.
Lutecia glanced at the Number. “Baaka.”
“Sheesh. You’re weirdo. Come, Freya.” Hikki and Freya left the motionless Poseidon and approached Frieda who was helping Nanoha with the meal. “Ms. Frieda, Miss Nanoha, can we help you with anything?”
“Oh, both of you don’t have to,” Frieda uttered. “We’re almost done with these dishes, actually.”
“But you could give us some extra hands on other works,” Nanoha said and gestured toe youngsters to a pile of plates at the other table. “Can you help us arranging the plates before the rest of them arrive?”
“Sure.”
The couple left to arrange the cutleries. Frieda and Nanoha chuckled at the intimate closeness of Hikki and Freya. “They remind me of one of my friends and his girlfriend,” Nanoha uttered.
“Who might that person be, hmm?” Frieda guessed.
Nanoha giggled. “He was supposed to come with us, but for some reasons he had to attend a meeting with the Wind Talkers at Britannia,” she said and grumbled afterwards. “That Hikki… I only wish he can learn to respect us women…”
(Hikki sneezed. “Cold, Yutaro?” Freya asked.
“I don’t think so,” the boy answered and shuddered.)
“I bet he’s feeling alone out there right now,” Frieda wondered.
“He is, though,” Nanoha said. “Widuri-chan is here. Fuuko-chan is here. Even I’m here. I just don’t want to hear news of him chasing after other women when the three of us are here.”
(Hikki shivered. “Damn it. I heard what you’re saying!”)
“Let me guess,” Frieda said and teasingly elbowed Nanoha. “You seem to be in deep admirations towards him, don’t you?”
Nanoha blushed. So did Hikki, who was forced to stop working after Freya found that he was breaking down from “heat stroke”. Frieda noticed Nanoha’s uneasy reaction and chuckled. “Come on. Tell me. It’s just between us. We’re woman, right?” she said.
“Well… I… you see… ettou…” Nanoha fiddled with her fingers, too shy to tell the gunslinger woman the exact truth. “Mou! Frieda-san, are you trying to set me up?” she squealed.
“Not really,” Frieda answered and looked at Hikki and Freya, the former was fanned by Poseidon who was heard shouting for medical help. She giggled when Hikki was knocked out cold after Widuri gave him a healing embrace (the Unison Device apologized for what she did).
“Oneechan!”
Frieda and Nanoha looked down at Fuuko and Caro. “Yes, Fuuko dear, what is it?” Nanoha asked.
“When are we going to have onsen?” Fuuko asked.
“How about tonight?” Frieda suggested. “I’ve reserved the hot spring for our use. We can go there whenever we want along our holiday here.”
“Yaay! Onsen!” Fuuko cheered and gave Caro a very tight hug. “We’re going to have onsen! Fuuko loves onsen!”

Hikki was as restless as ever. He had worked all day long during the picnic, and he was in the urgent need for refreshment. The rest of the children were also tired, having had spent the remaining day playing at the beach. At one corner of the room, Aura was feeding the distraught Takeru with watermelon slice; at another corner, Erio was surrounded by the likes of Cinque, Nove, Lutecia, Annabelle and Caro as they gave him a very angry look for reasons only God knows. Kha was fanning himself while sitting outside, eating watermelon with Vita and Signum. Fuuko was with her antics as usual, chasing after yarn balls and making Erio blush at the bubbly sight (it, too, made him eat Caro’s annoyed fist). Freya was sitting next to him, peacefully dozing upon his shoulder, tired.
(It was also supposed to be the children’s turn to use the hot spring but they decided to go there after dinner. Again, Erio blushed at the thought of surrounded by young and beautiful women -- he managed to eye on Aura for a while before Takeru gave him the look of a hungry, angry wolf.)
“Damn,” Hikki murmured and outstretched his arms. “This is one hectic day.” He glanced at Poseidon who was conspiring something with Zafira, E and Arf. The tiger noticed the boy and waved in silly manners to him. “Stupid. I need to go now.”
“Where are you going?” Freya asked when Hikki shrugged her off.
“To the hot spring,” he sighed and grabbed the towel. “I need to take a quick bath before dinner.” He noticed everyone inside the room stared at him strangely due to the statement. “What?”
Poseidon stepped in front of him, arms spread wide as if it would not let him proceed. “You don’t know what lies ahead of you,” it spoke (Zafira, E and Arf nodded to agree).
“Look, tiger,” Hikki hissed and prodded Poseidon’s chest. “I need a bath, and you aren’t going to step in my way. Or is it because you did something to the bamboo screen, didn’t you?”
“No! Of course not! I wouldn’t do such a devious thing!” Poseidon replied. Hikki ignored the tiger and continued walking towards the hot spring. “Yutaro! Wait! You know the ladies are in there, don’t you?” Poseidon shouted.
Hikki turned back to the tiger. “I thought they already used the hot spring,” he insisted.
Poseidon grabbed his shoulders. “Listen up, Yutaro. If you go there right now, you are in for the worst disaster you ever imagine.”
“Shut up,” Hikki said and brushed the paws off. “You just want to peek on the woman yourself.”
“For this once, listen to me!” Poseidon pleaded. “You mustn’t go there!”
“SUPREME GIBSON BUSTER!!!!”
Poseidon was launched into the air, piercing through the many layers of ceilings and floors before it disappeared in the starry sky. “Stupid tiger…” Hikki mumbled, his fist tingling in pain after delivering the hard-hitting uppercut, and headed towards the hot spring’s entrance door. “I just need to have some quick bath and…”
He stopped.
The pool was indeed occupied! And the women were all cloth-less, too!
(Beyond the corner, Zafira, Vita, Signum, Freya, Aura, Takeru, Kha, Annabelle, Caro, Lutecia and Erio peeked at him and silently cackled, with the exception of Freya who was fuming in jealously.
“We’re very sorry, Yutaro…” Zafira mumbled, hands making Buddha’s gestures and eyes crying waterfall. “We tried to tell you that Poseidon planned all this, but…”
“You and Poseidon planned this, didn’t you?” Aura asked.
The wolf stooped its head. “I’m sorry…”)
To make matters worse, Hayate was seen doing physical examination onto Widuri and the Unison Device was moaning for help, her facial expression a mixture of bliss and distress. Hikki blushed at the sight of his Servant crying for help, even as Hayate laughingly balanced her loads in her hands.
“What in the world is this atrocity?!”
The women noticed his yell. Hikki was struck in horror and immediately rushed back in. “I’m sorry! I didn’t know there’s already someone else!” he shouted from behind the sliding door. He waited, and heard devious giggles instead. “I told you! It was an accident! Poseidon didn’t tell me the hot spring’s occupied!”
“Yutaro…”
“Like I said, I didn’t mean to walk in!”
“Yutaro-kun…”
“I’m terribly sorry for interfering! I won’t tell anyone else! I swear!”
“Yu… Ta… Ro… kun…”
“Just… let me go and…”
A pair of arms seized his body from the behind, completely rendering him speechless and turning him pale white. “What’s the matter, Yutaro? Are you afraid to join us?” Nanoha asked.
Hikki’s face turned red. “But it’s not polite for a boy to join women in open bath!” he insisted. “I’ll just wait for all of you to finish your turn.”
The Ace giggled and tightened her arms around his body. Hikki shivered in fear, because he could feel her breasts comfortably pressed against his back (it was fortunate for him to wear kimono, though, or he’d suffer from involuntary hormone uprising). It was not the kind of treatment he ever expected to have, and he was caught between enjoying it and resisting it.
“Miss Nanoha…”
“Yes, Yutaro-kun?” Nanoha asked.
“Is it alright?” he mumbled.
Nanoha nodded. “We won’t do anything weird to you. We just want to give you a bit of back scrubbing. All. Of. Us,” hotly she whispered.
Hikki twitched. “You mean… you, Miss Fate, Miss Hayate, Miss Keroko, Miss Widuri, Miss Ginga, Ms. Carim, Miss Shamal and Ms. Frieda are…” The boy was knocked out cold, held tightly between Nanoha’s arms before he slipped onto the floor.
Nanoha looked at Hikki’s blissful face. “Looks like you couldn’t resist the invitation, ne?”
Spoiler for epic bluecheeism #3:
“Now, Yutaro, stay still and let me wash your back for you.”
“Y-yes, Miss Fate…”
Hikki sighed. He never thought to have the golden opportunity of sharing the same hot spring with the most gorgeous women he had ever come across. He dared not looking at them, fearing that he would stain the water with blood, fearing that he would spoil the rather good time he was having. (Widuri, Ginga, Hayate, Keroko, Frieda and Carim had finished their turn, and Fate and Nanoha were the only women left to finish the job.)
“Permission to speak, Miss Fate.”
“Yes, Yutaro?”
Hikki gulped. “Why are you and everybody else having interests towards me? I’m just a little kid, and…”
Fate giggled and poured water down his body. “Oh, really? Well, you seem to have fun watching us all the time with your camera,” she said and stepped aside off as to let Nanoha take her turn.
“Besides, Yutaro-kun, you and your naughty eyes can’t help staring at Nanoha-chan and Widuri-chan, can you?” Hayate guessed. “You so remind me of Hikki, you know. Always with his evil chance to ogle his precious Servant.”
“Hayate-sama!” Widuri squealed in embarrassment.
Hikki blushed. “Is it wrong?! It’s normal for a boy to…” He noticed Nanoha laughing at his miserable attempt to make excuses, and he submerged his head in shame. “Sorry…”
Nanoha giggled. “It’s alright. You’re just a little boy, so don’t be too tensed. Just let all tensions to go,” she said and massaged his shoulders. “There. Relax a bit. Let your mind be freed. Pretend none of us are here, and let the warm air cover your body…”
Hikki slowly closed his eyes. “Miss Nanoha…”
“Yes, Yutaro-kun?”
He shook his head. “No. I just thought I want to call you…”
The slide door was opened. Everybody turned their sight to the newcomer. It was Freya, and she looked as if she was not satisfied with what the women were doing to her boyfriend.
“F-Freya?! What the hell are you doing here?” Hikki asked.
“Yutaro…”
Without even letting him answer, Freya took off her towel, and Hikki’s eyes bulged two inches out of their socket at the explicitly delirious fan service. “You must let me scrub your back, too…” she murmured and walked into the water.
Hikki’s ears burned. “But… but why in the world…!”
“Because I’m your lover,” Freya said with a deep blush (Hikki turned from bright red to pale white at the revelation; the women gasped at the confession). “As your girlfriend, I have every right to please him.”
Nanoha moved away from the horror-stricken Hikki. “Well, then, have your time.”
“Thank you, Miss Nanoha…”
Slowly Freya approached Hikki. The rest of the women murmured something, giggling to see Hikki’s panicked reaction to the voluntary service. Hayate and Keroko, especially, silently rooted for Freya, while Widuri and Ginga blushed brightly at the thought of what the girl was going to do.
Freya halted. “You must let me…” she spoke. “Or I’ll cry…”
Hikki returned from his comatose. “Cry? In place like this? HELL NO!” He immediately stood up, forgetting the fact that he was now without a piece of string on his body; thankfully the fog covered some parts). “I won’t let you cry! Ever!”
“Will you?” Freya asked.
Hikki clenched a fist. “With this knuckle, I will pierce through the heavens and beyond tomorrow for you!”
He paused. He noticed all the women were staring at him in shock. It took him a few seconds before he realized his actual condition and quickly dived into the water. “I DIDN’T MEAN TO HARASS ALL OF YOU!” he screamed inside the water.
“Yutaro is quite a healthy boy, isn’t he?” Fate asked. “Reminds me of Erio.”
“And he looks quite cute when he blushes, too,” Keroko added.
Freya took no attention of the ladies and seated behind Hikki. “Yutaro…” she murmured his fake name and pressed her body against his back. “Do you really love me?”
Hikki twitched. “Freya… why are you asking me that question? You’ll only embarrass me in front of these ladies!”
Freya ignored him and continued pressing her chest against him (and making him jolt). “You must… tell me…”
“I… I…”
“I love you with all my heart…” she mumbled and wrapped her arms about his upper body. “If you do love me, then you must let me serve you…” (Widuri blushed bright at the mention of “serve” and hid her burning face behind the bucket). “Yutaro…”
Hikki could answer no more. Overwhelmed by the amount of information that bombarded his mind, and the immensely intimate physical contact, the boy got knocked out and sank into the steamy water. Freya got panicked and shouted his name repeatedly after she brought him to the surface.
“Looks like we’ve gone a bit too far,” Frieda uttered.
“I can’t help it when it’s just a boy,” Carim added.
Spoiler for actual truth:
Outside the perimeter, Poseidon, Zafira, Erio and E exchanged high-fives. “Mission accomplished!” Poseidon announced in whispers. “Now that Freya is occupied with that kid, we can now proceed with our next plan.”
“I’ll kill myself after this…” Zafira moaned and cried manly waterfall tears. Erio did the same and patted his wolf friend’s shoulder.
“I didn’t know hot spring watching is this fun,” E noted.
The trio felt a murderous sensation coming from behind them. They turned around, and saw themselves looking into the eyes of an angry Aura and pissed Takeru.
“You think you can ogle Oneechan that easily, eh?” Aura spoke.
“I’ll kill you if you ever lay a finger upon Frieda…” Takeru murmured.
Poseidon, Erio, E and Zafira gulped. “Takeru… Aura… can we talk?” Poseidon offered.
I see young Lelouch, Kuga Natsuki, Ishida's father....what else have you got for us?
...I need a lot of tissue now....

She got up to the walkway, and up the stairs, where Wolf was waiting for her, his sword on the ground.
“Hand to hand, the basis of all combat, Megane…”
“What do you mean?” she replied, confused that Wolf would disarm himself.
“Fight me without any of your so-called Devices.” he said. “It couldn’t be…” There was only one person that Sydney knew had a penchant for hand-to-hand combat so much that he would fight mages with only his hands: Yacoby Gerim. “He’s dead…he’s supposed to be. I saw him die.”
“Without any Devices….alright then. Apex, Equinox, mode release."
“[Ma’am!]”
“[Meister!]”
“Don’t worry about me, just do what I tell you to do.”
“[Alright then…]” both of them said, sounding concerned about her. Even though they didn’t like it, they followed her order anyway.
“Good…” Wolf said, kicking his sword out of the way and going into a combat stance. Sydney put away her Devices and also prepared for combat.
“Make me feel the rush of it again!” he yelled before charging at her.
Minor Update on the Excalibur class the class history is finished, just have to work on the main ships crew and the write up will be finished. Then I'll probably write up the battle mentioned in it since this thing needs some spotlight.
Basic Details Name: Sylvia Bannes Gender: Female Birthday: 20 July Home World: Mid-childa Age: 15 (16 post StrikerS)
Physical Attributes Height: 156cm Weight: 43 kilos Eye colour: Brown Hair colour: Brown
Mage information Rank: 1st class Private Affiliations: Time-space Administration Bureau, 1039th air force unit Combat type: Range combat and support Position: Support Wing Magic system: Midchilda Official Mage Rank: Air combat A Colour of spell sigils: Silver Device: Gleipnir (Intelligent Device) Specialization: Binding and range support expert Usual garb/wear: Ground force uniform
Device: Gleipnir
Gleipnir is probably one of the more if not the most unusual intelligent device out there, simply for the fact that it is a chain like throwing weapon with jewels on each end. The chains are made of black Rune Steel, and alloy widely used in devices in Midchilda. It can magically stretch to lengths of up to 20 metres. The jewels at each end are diamond shaped rubies that move according to Sylvia’s will. She uses it as a throwing chain weapon or to bind her opponents physically, giving her more than just magical binds.
Storage mode:
Gleipnir’s storage mode is a silver chain bracelet. As Sylvia is not able to speak, Gleipnir sets up by mental activation.
Device mode:
Gleipnir’s design is simple yet elegant, black Rune Steel chains with rubies attached to the ends. The chain floats and acts according to her will, able to rush opponents at high speeds to attack or bind them.
Description: History: Born of Mid-childa, Sylvia is the child of ordinary Mid-childan civilians. Her parents wanted her to go to school, grow up, and live normally like most others despite her inability to speak since birth. But Sylvia found it all mundane and boring, and she wanted to experience an extraordinary life. A life of that is not possible by merely being a normal civilian. Against her parents’ wishes, she enlisted in one of the bureau’s air force academy as a trainee with the help of a relative who happened to be a trainer at the academy. She wanted to be like those live saving bureau mages she watched on the news all the time. The academy she went to register with found her promising and accepted her application despite clear objections and lack of backing from her parents, who were actually officers in the TSAB military as well.
After the 2 year course at the academy she graduated at the age of 14 and was recruited to the air force unit 1039. There she met Jean, who would become her best friend, and Itsuki whom she would come to respect and admire despite his many flaws. Being low ranked in the air force meant she got placed in a local emergency response squad, so she didn't get any chance actual combat experience off world.
During the JS incident, she took part in the defense of the capital. Along with the rest of the air force units, they were tasked with supporting the Ground Force mages from the air-type gadget drones. She was among those who witnessed Signum taking out 50 gadget drones with a single attack.
Personality/Habits and behaviour/Hobbies:
Sylvia is shy, quiet, and is slow in opening up to people. But this by no means meant that Sylvia was weak or timid. She was brave in her own way, and is an adventurous girl. She always wished that sheto rank up higher, and eventually become an Enforcer.
Though she can communicate telepathically with others who can also do so, she still talks a lot less than most people would. However, that isn’t the case with people who she had gradually warmed up to like Jean and Itsuki. Jean understands her best so gradually Jean became sort of like her spokesperson whenever Sylvia didn’t feel like talking. This does not mean that she is stoic or uncommunicative; it’s just that she isn't really very talkative.
Despite her shyness, she is surprisingly strong willed, stubborn, and hard to convince otherwise once she makes a decision, which is why not even her parents could stop her once she decided she wanted to be a mage.
However she is easily embarrassed, and some people can’t help but tease her just to see her expressions. Itsuki shamelessly says, “Cute girl who’s shy, quiet, and who doesn’t talk much. Her embarrassed expressions are an ever source of moe-ness~” Whatever that means, the other clerks in their unit really don’t know.
What many find interesting is that even though she's shy, he barrier jacket is a rather daring one. Most attribute it to the person who designed it as being a pervert. But this did not explained Sylvia's continued use of it. Though some will venture to say that it's probably because she's trying to build up her own confidence through little things like wearing more revealing barrier jackets. Her friends question her choice of avenue to building her confidence, but the perverts on base are not complaining.
She's a music lover, though she can’t play any instruments herself. She feels that music is a wonderful expression of one’s self. Likes to twirl her hair with her fingers whenever she is thinking. Another problem is she's often found dozing after lunch under a tree, a habit she picked up from Itsuki.
Fighting style:
A long-range combat support mage whose main specialty is binding spells, Sylvia has honed her binding spells to a level where many consider as being an expert. She supplements magical binds with prison/cage spells and physical binding with Gleipnir. She can also use Gleipnir to attack by throwing the dagger-like ends of the chain towards the opponents. The chains can also bend and move according to her will, making it very flexible and can even do slight changes in direction even in mid flight.
She prefers not to be directly involved in the thick of combat and instead hangs back and provides range support.
Barrier Jacket:
Her barrier jacket is made up of a black shirt with white lining patterns, bright red skirt, black long socks, bright red gloves, a pair of brown leather boots, and white hooded cape. The shirt is sleeveless and the skirt’s length is quite short, barely reaching her knees.
Offensive spells: Nova Charge: Controlled type battery spell. Sylvia conjures tennis ball sized magic spheres and controls them to attack her enemies. She can form and control up to 6 of them simultaneously, any more would tax her concentration and generally be more difficult to control.
Attack: B
Range: B
Control: A
Speed: B
Luna Light: Sylvia conjures a large magic sigil that rains hundreds of small and low-powered magic spheres to wreak havoc in a large radius. The individual spheres may be weak, but the entirety of the spell still holds considerable power. This is Sylvia's favorite and most powerful spell, and requires an aria to conjure.
Attack: A+ (total threat level), D (individual sphere power)
Radius: 50 meters
Speed: A+
Aria: "Jehra Yuuva Tritha, Light of heaven show your glory! Rain down from heaven and smite my enemies!"

Support/Boost/Mobility spells: Flight: Although Sylvia is part of the air force, combat is not her forte and so she doesn’t work on aerial combat. However she trains herself for evasion in the air, something she is quite good at and she always has Jean as her backup.
Area search: A spell used to read magical energies within an area.
Radius: 1 kilometre
Delayed Bind: A bind spell that captures target that moves within a certain range.
Strength: AA
Radius: 3 metres
Struggle Bind: A spell known to many bureau officers. A very powerful bind that serves as a magical ‘ground‘. It can restrict a target from using their magical capabilities. It can also dispel magical effects like Transformation Magic. Due to the concentration and intricacies of the spell, it is difficult to cast it from long range.
Strength: A
Range: C
Effect: Cancels spells in effect on the target
Ring Bind: A bind spell that creates a set of magical rings that restricts the target.
Strength: A
Range: B-
Chain Bind: A simple bind spell where chains appear to tie down the target. Number of chains possible depends on the level of control and power that the caster has.
Strength: B+
Range: A
Mystic Cage: A prison spell that can be used to encage opponents. The cage is quite durable and can effectively imprison less powerful opponents till it is dispelled. Of course it isn’t that effective on stronger opponents who can overpower the cage with their magic.
She got up to the walkway, and up the stairs, where Wolf was waiting for her, his sword on the ground.
“Hand to hand, the basis of all combat, Megane…”
“What do you mean?” she replied, confused that Wolf would disarm himself.
“Fight me without any of your so-called Devices.” he said. “It couldn’t be…” There was only one person that Sydney knew had a penchant for hand-to-hand combat so much that he would fight mages with only his hands: Yacoby Gerim. “He’s dead…he’s supposed to be. I saw him die.”

“Make me feel the rush of it again!” he yelled before charging at her.
Ah, interesting. What will the situation might be?
Just finished my third OC. Needs a lot of fine tuning though.
Spoiler for my third OC:
Basic Details Name: Sylvia Bannes Gender: Female Birthday: 20 July Home World: Mid-childa Age: 15
Physical Attributes Height: 5 feet 2” Weight: 43 kilos Eye colour: Brown Hair colour: Brown
Mage information Rank: 1st class Private Affiliations: Time-space Administration Bureau, 1039th air force unit Combat style: physical and magical binds, mid to long range combat Position: Full Back support Class: Mid type Mage Official Mage Rank: A- Colour of spell sigils: Silver Device: Yggdrasil (Intelligent Device) Specialization: long range support, bindings, and barriers Usual garb/wear: Ground force uniform
Device: Yggdrasil
Yggdrasil is probably one of the more if not the most unusual intelligent device out there, simply for the fact that it is a chain like throwing weapon with jewels on each end. The chains are black titanium and can magically stretch to lengths of up to 50 metres. The jewels at each end are diamond shaped rubies that move according to Sylvia’s will. Practical usage for the device would be as a kind of throwing chain type weapon and to physically bind opponents.
Storage mode:
Yggdrasil’s storage mode is a silver chain bracelet. As Sylvia is not able to speak, Yggdrasil sets up by mental activation.
Device mode:
Yggdrasil’s design is simple yet elegant, black steel chains with rubies attached to the ends. The chain is wound once around her waist but this is generally not necessary as the chain floats and acts according to her will, able to rush opponents at high speeds to attack or bind them.
Description/Background/History:
Born of Mid-childa, Sylvia is the child of ordinary Mid-childan civilians. Her parents wanted her to go to school, grow up, and live normally like most others despite her inability to speak since birth. But Sylvia found it all mundane and boring, and she wanted to experience an extraordinary life. A life of that is not possible by merely being a normal civilian. Against her parents’ wishes, she enlisted in one of the bureau’s air force academy as a trainee with the help of a relative who happened to be a trainer at the academy. She desired to be like a mage of the bureau that saves lives like what she saw on television all the time, and she desired to be able to speak to others through more than just hand signs. They found that her promising, and after the 2 year course at the academy she graduated at the age of 14 and was recruited to the air force unit 1039. There she met Jean, who would become her best friend, and Itsuki whom she would come to admire as an individual despite his many flaws.
Habits/Hobbies:
Loves music, though she can’t play any instruments herself. She feels that music is a wonderful expression of one’s self. Likes to twirl her hair with her fingers whenever she is thinking, similar to Eleanor’s habit of nibbling on the ends of her hair locks. Likes taking naps under a tree after lunch hours whenever she isn’t scheduled for trainings. When alone, she listens to music on a device she has which stores them by the hundreds.
Personality/Behaviour:
Sylvia is shy, quiet, and doesn’t like to stand out. Not being able to communicate with anything other than sign language for years before she learn telepathy as a mage, her communications skills are a bit lacking and she doesn’t really know what to say most of the time.
Though she can communicate telepathically with others who can also do so, she still talks a lot less than most people would. However, that isn’t the case with people who she had gradually warmed up to like Jean and Itsuki. Jean understands her best so gradually Jean became sort of like her spokesperson whenever Sylvia didn’t feel like talking.
Awfully strong willed and stubborn, she is hard to convince otherwise once she makes a decision, which is why not even her parents could stop her once she decided she wanted to be a mage.
However she is easily embarrassed, and some people can’t help but tease her just to see her expressions. Itsuki shamelessly says, “Cute girl who’s shy, quiet, and who doesn’t talk much. Her embarrassed expressions are an ever source of moe-ness~” Whatever that means, the other clerks in their unit really don’t know.
Professional Background:
Sylvia joined the 1039th air force squad after she graduated from the air force academy near central. She was paired with Jean, whom they see as the ideal person to cover for Sylvia who is a support mage, and Sylvia’s spells allow her to capture or slow opponents long enough for Jean to move in close for the kill.
Fighting style:
A long-range support specialist whose main specialty is binding spells, Sylvia has honed her binding spells to a level where many consider as being an expert. She supplements magical binds with prison/cage spells and physical binding with Yggdrasil. She can also use Yggdrasil to attack by throwing the dagger-like ends of the chain towards the opponents. The chains can also bend and move according to her will, making it very flexible and can even do slight changes in direction even in mid flight. Physically weak, she prefers not to be directly involved in combat and instead hangs back and provides range support.
Barrier Jacket:
Her barrier jacket is made up of a black shirt with white lining patterns, bright red mini skirt, black long socks, bright red gloves, a pair of brown leather boots, and white hooded cape. The shirt is sleeveless and the skirt’s length is quite short, not even reaching her knees.
Defensive spells: Iron Defence: A powerful barrier that can take quite a beating. (Strength: AA, Radius: 3 metres)
Round Shield: Standard bureau mage shield type spell. Has great durability. (Strength: A)
Support/Boost/Mobility spells: Flight: Although Sylvia is part of the air force, combat is not her forte and so she doesn’t work on aerial combat. However she trains herself for evasion in the air, something she is quite good at and she always has Jean as her backup.
Area search: A spell used to read magical energies within an area. (Radius: 1 kilometre)
Delayed Bind: A bind spell that captures target that moves within a certain range. (Strength: AA, Radius: 3 metres)
Struggle Bind: A spell known to many bureau officers. The reason for its popularity is its ability to cancel spells focused on the user’s self, such as transformation and boosts spells. (Strength: AA, Effect: Cancels existing spells on target)
Diamond Cage: A prison spell that can be used to encage opponents. The cage is quite durable and can effectively imprison less powerful opponents till it is dispelled. Of course it isn’t that effective on stronger opponents who can overpower the cage with their magic. (Strength: A+, Targets: one person)
You know the feeling some times when you feel that there is something wrong or missing, but you just can't quite grasp what that something is?
There just seems to be something wrong or missing with this particular OC I just made. Its probably more the latter than the former...I think. If anyone can point anything out it'll be a great help.
Interesting OC you have there, Aeon. The idea of Sylvia being mute is quite an idea you have come up with since she still can communicate through telepathy, which is something I haven't thought of until you put it here. Being nit-picky here but since Sylvia being a shy person, would she go with a mini-skirt as part of her BJ since that will definitely grab attention among people.
Since she's considered a expert in her field of support, perhaps you could raise her rank to a mixed forces rank of A+ since it wasn't specified what kind of rank she currently holds.
my 2 cents
