Satashi, you've been using "manor" instead of "manner" for quite a few chapters now. Please do something about it.
I don't want to do anything about it T_T
It's the auto suggestion and me just not knowing it was wrong I don't mind pointing out constant mistakes as long as it's polite.
Okay let's see here:
Yes that part was rushed, as is all my parts. It's a downfall of doing "On the fly" writing. I'm sorry it wasn't very well done, but I can't really do anything about it since I don't proofread. I'll try and be better but this is still a "multiple shorts" story. I am, however, re-doing this story to post as a real fanfic once it is done. angel is betaing it for me slowly (she's in finals).
The guy that vivio was filming with was Space. Mark is a new person. :3
I'll comment about why Lina is on the set in next part. She was with her parents but just ran off for a moment (and got scolded for it hehe)
No more teasers or previews for True Lies chapter 1. It's currently being beta'd and will probably be posted this weekend if everything turns out alright.
Now, what I wanted to say is that it didn't turn out as I thought. Canon-references still exist, but the canon-TECH that exists is in some cases inconsistent. Now, I don't care that deeply about that, as I write what I want, but I'm truthfully trying to make it at least somewhat according to canon in other areas.
When it comes to the characters, some faults still exists. I consider True Lies to be a pretty deep AU, as it is about~ 10 years after StrikerS, which givs me some free reign. My biggest problem atm is ranks and such. I've decided to keep them as they are and come up with an explanation later for anyone who really wants detail.
Also, people change during the years; perhaps something happened, they met someone special or they just changed on their own. Thanks to the 10 year jump, it gives me more to expand upon their personalities, shaping them as I believe they would turn out in this TL version.
I'm always for canon support, in anything. But for True Lies, I have to take out the boundaries a bit, to fit the story.
And for FotR..well, the situation is unchanged. True Lies took most of my ideas this time, but I promise I will release FotR Final before christmas. Not even I want to wait to release it after New Year's.
Vivio pushed up her glasses lightly on her nose and began flipping through the papers in front of herself. “Okay let's see... Here,” She showed Syn a sheet and scooted closer to her. “Right here, this is my basic 'will do' list. It says...well, what I'm comfortable with doing. I can edit it once or twice during my contract but this really outlines my upcoming work. The less I have on here, the less money I will bring in. I need to be lenient with it.”
Syn nodded and looked at the list and the check marks next to the words. “Um, what's this mean?” She pointed and got a small giggle along with the answer. “Oh, okay...” she fidgeted in her seat.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“... A little but not bad. I'm just... you know, saying that my girlfriend will be doing this stuff. It's kind of weird more than being upset.”
Vivio nodded in understanding. “Would you feel more comfortable with it if you saw me doing it?” She got blinked at. “I have my videos, I can show them to you. You watched a few didn't you?”
“Just your solo scenes and webcam recordings.” Syn gave her a light lopsided smile. “I'm comfortable with it, just still weird to me. Anyway, let's see... Strip clubs?”
“Like I was at the other night.”
“... Okay, what's 'advertising' consist of?”
“Being recorded using things for new items or wearing something for a photo shoot. Like if a company released a new line of fetish clothing they would ask me to model in it. That will more than likely be a sex scene that's photographed, just so you know.”
“You're okay with that?”
Vivio shrugged. “Part of the job. No difference in that and being filmed in video.”
“Okay, I guess that's true...What's this mean?” She pointed to another line.
“I said no, so don't worry about it.” Vivio stuck out her tongue and got a giggle.
“You're so calm and easy going about this...”
“I hope you will be later on as well.”
“... What's away 'entertaining'?”
“If I go on the road somewhere to meet some important people, I would 'service' them sexually.”
“Is that legal?”
“That's why it's called servicing. It implied bringing them drinks, talking, entertaining and the like, but you really know what it means.”
“Basically it means they'll send you to seal deals? You're okay with that?”
“I will entertain them, it doesn't mean I will do sexual things. If I'm advertising a new sex toy and they want to watch me use it, I don't mind. I'll say no if I don't want to do something... I'll probably be wearing nothing or sexy lingerie though. That okay?”
“Well, I trust your judgment...” Her words trailed off as she thought about what she just said. “Yeah... Yeah, you know what?”
“What?”
“I trust you.” Syn handed the papers back to Vivio. “Do what you do, I'll support you.”
Vivio looked at her for a few moments before she leaned forward and hugged her. “That's the best thing you could say to me.” She got and amused pat on the back and squeezed her one more time before pulling away. “Well then, is there anything you want to ask about?”
“What's different about this and what you do now?”
“Basically more work. I will go around promoting things, do more videos, guest star on other company's videos, and the like. I've already got almost three hundred subscribers to my webpage now, it went up dramatically since my last video.”
Syn nodded and could tell that her girlfriend was proud. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you. Ohhhh, so much to think about now.” Vivio quickly began flipping through the contents of the folder and signing her name to them. “I can't wait to get started!”
“You can't wait to have sex?”
Vivio stuck out her tongue. “Let me see your computer.” The request gained her Syn's laptop after a few moments of waiting for it to be brought to her. “Here, this is your user name and password to my website. I'll save it for you.”
Syn shook her head. “Why do I need that, I have the real thing here.” She wrapped her arms around Vivio and looked over her shoulder at the page. This time she didn't feel her stomach turn but instead felt a small sense of satisfaction that her girlfriend was doing so well in her life all of a sudden. “Hey...” Her arms tightened lightly and she nipped at Vivio's neck. “How about you give me some time right now?”
“Three hundred dollars for the first hour.” Vivio told her casually while closing the laptop. “Just kidding.” She kissed Syn's cheek. “Later, I need to do something first.”
“What?” The blue haired one frowned when Vivio stood up.
“Clean your apartment, it's a mess in here.” She went to the kitchen area and lifted up a plate laying on the counter, grimacing as long stands of left over food stuck it to the platter underneath it. “Where are your cleaning supplies?”
“Don't I have a say in this?” Syn countered her.
“No.” Vivio smiled and looked over at the girl walking to her. “Mou, Syn, you're still so touchy.” She blushed as hands slipped under her shirt and body made her take a few steps backwards to lean against the wall. “Ngghhnn... Let me clean first.”
“I'm jealous,” Syn whispered to her, trying to get the girl's pants unbuttoned. “They get to see you do their wildest dreams and all I got was a lap dance that drove me crazy all night long.”
“Mou, okay...” Vivio grabbed Syn's shoulders and pushed her back until she fell down onto her bed. “But we do it my way.” She smirked and turned on Syn's radio. The station was changed until she found a suitable song to dance to and she smiled at her eager looking girlfriend. “This is a special case, because I'm happy.” She informed her as her hips swayed to the music. “But since I'm working on my time off, you have to as well.”
“What do you mean?” Syn watched the blond move.
“You're cooking me dinner.” Slowly she pulled off her shirt and dropped it onto the floor to show a simple white bra. Syn's hands went up to touch her but were quickly and gently slapped away. “No touching until I say you can.” A cat like grin spread over her face as her already unbuttoned pants fell to the floor to show white stockings, garter belt, and panties. One hand went up behind her head and the other rested on her hip to pose. “Like?”
“Very.” Very breathed out as she was straddled and rubbed on. “Can I touch...?”
Vivio breathed into Syn's ear and spoke into it huskily, suddenly grinding her body against hers. “No...” She licked her earlobe and sucked on it, pinning Syn's hands to the bed.
~**~
Syn answered her phone quickly, flipping it open so the ring tone wouldn't wake up the girl sleeping on her bed. Although her treat had lasted the better part of half an hour, she felt rather flustered that she wasn't allowed to touch her not even once during it but at the same time knew that Vivio was just teasing her. “Hi mom,” she greeted the phone contently. “Hm? I'm not doing anything... No, Vivio is taking a nap, she stayed up really late. I'll have to talk quietly.” She paused and sat down next to her girlfriend, who was sleeping peacefully. “Thanksgiving? Sure I'll come. Never pass up free food that you don't have to cook... I don't think she is doing anything, no.” Syn smiled fondly. “I'd love to invite her to come over to meet you and dad.” Her hands threaded through the blond's hair and she had to repress a giggle when the girl didn't even stir from the motion. “Who else is going to be there?” Syn pulled the covers over Vivio's body so she wouldn't catch a cold. “Oh, some important people? Sounds neat, I'd like to meet them. What division are they in?” Syn smiled down at her girlfriend while listening. “Sixth mobile Division, what a bland name.” She laughed softly. “Go ahead and make plans for us to be there, I'll invite her when she wakes up.”

~**~
Vivio slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes, inhaling a pleasant scent through her nose. Syn had her back turned to the girl and was busy cooking, humming to herself as she stirred the contents of something that Vivio couldn't see. Red and green eyes looked around to find her earlier disregarded clothing during her lap dance and put them on as quietly as she could to avoid the embarrassment of having Syn see her naked again. Once covered she walked to the kitchen area and was smiled at. "Hey," Vivio yawned out the word before wrapping her arms around her girlfriend from behind. "How long did I sleep?"
"Almost three hours." Syn put a cover on her skillet and leaned back against Vivio's chest. "Hey, what are you doing for thanksgiving?"
"I have a shoot tonight for my webpage, but I can set it to automatically update on the day itself so nothing really."
"A Thanksgiving special?" Syn almost laughed. "What, are they going to stuff you or something?"
"Yes, with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, salad-" She stopped her joking when Syn did start laughing at her. "But really, it's nothing big, shouldn't take more than an hour to shoot it."
"What are you going to do?"
"Want to come watch?" Vivio hugged her. "It may be a bit much, but you can meet some of my friends before we do the shoot."
"I'll go meet your friends, I don't know about watching." Syn patted Vivio's hands. "I'll watch the recording of it with you okay?"
"That's fine, you can stay in my dressing room while we shoot it, I have a TV in there." Vivio nodded to herself. "Oh, why did you ask anyway?"
"My mom and dad want to meet you." Syn gripped the skillet in front of herself with one hand and took the lid off with the other so she could flip the contents around. "I'd really like it if you came to my home for Thanksgiving?"
"Oh wow... okay, I'm a bit nervous though... who will be there? Am I going to meet all of your family?"
"No, just my parents and a few higher-ups from their work that they are friends with. Something about a gathering of friends that they haven't seen in a while and all that. I won't know them either so we can just stick together off to the side."
"Okay, that's good." Vivio kissed Syn's cheek. "When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow, so we can drive down there and be in time for dinner, then thanksgiving day after, stay that night, and come back. Is that too long?"
"No, I can go a while without updating my page since I'm doing that one tonight." She smiled happily. "I'm looking forward to it."

Syn looked around nervously as she was handed a guest ID card to walk around the studio with Vivio. "I feel weird," She whispered to her friend once they were away from the receptionist. "It's like everyone who looks at me wants to bend me over a table and go to town on me."
"As fun as that would be to watch, don't worry about it."
"Wait," Syn cut her off. "You'd like to see that?"
"Hm? Yes, that would be rather erotic." She stuck out her tongue at her friend, not positive if Syn was sure if she was serious or not. "But really, everyone here is professional. They don't need to skirt chase, their job is to have sex." She waved at some of her friends who were walking from a set.
Syn was still looking at her from the corner of her eyes. "Okay, if you say so... It's still a little creepy. Gah, I'm sorry that was rude."
"Syn doesn't think before speaking, I'm used to it by now." Vivio elbowed her playfully before opening the door that had her name on it. "Here's my dressing room. Short tour, there's my couch, my vanity, my shower, and my clothes."
The blue haired girl whistled lightly. "It's huge." The single room was indeed big enough for everything mentioned and still be comfortable to lounge in. "They treat everyone really nice here, huh?"
"Well, the normal ranked people don't have rooms, they just come here, do their thing, and leave."
"So since you're a star you have a room?"
"Well, I have paper work to do and-"
"Whoa, you have paperwork?" Syn blinked.
Vivio looked offended. "Of course! I'm under contract labor, I have to do all my own taxes, sign forms of release for the recordings, schedule my filmings, talk to people, sometimes we have employee cookouts so people gather in my dressing room to hang out in-"
"Okay, I get it." Syn rolled her eyes. "Forgive me for not knowing."
"Well that's why I asked you here." Vivio sniffed at her and crossed her arms.
"Yeah..." Syn sighed. "Sorry, it's just weird knowing that you're about to go and have sex with someone. I'm okay with it, but it's still a little awkward." Before she could go on a knock at their door made them pause. Vivio bid them to come in and before Syn could react, a small child ran past her and hugged Vivio's legs.
"Vivio!" The girl greeted happily as she was holstered up to be balanced on the older woman's hips.
Vivio smiled at the small red haired girl. "Why hello there, Lina."
"Lina!" a new voice coming into the room made everyone look to see a blond haired girl with crystal blue eyes. "Don't run off like that, and use your manors."
Lina pouted slightly. "Yes Mama."
Vivio walked over to the woman and grinned. "Hey Krissy, how're you?"
"Great, we're about to go to Mark's parent's for thanksgiving."
Vivio smiled and pulled Syn over to her with her free hand. "that sounds really wonderful Krissy, I'm going to my girlfriend's place this year. Syn, meet Krisslanza. Krissy, meet Syn."
Syn nodded at her. "Nice to meet you."
"Oh, Syn!" Krisslanza smiled brightly. "Vivio has told us so much about you, it's great to finally meet you!" The blue haired girl blinked. "Oh you are quite a cute little thing! Way to go Vivio!"
"Krissy!" Vivio scolded her, blushing brightly. "Don't tell her that, it's embarrassing." She glanced at Syn lightly and then averted her eyes. Lina decided that she wanted down at that moment so Vivio sat her down onto her feet.
"Hey everyone," A new voice made them look at the door once again, this time seeing a guy.
Krisslanza giggled. "Honey, meet Syn, she's the girl Vivio rants about being head over heels in love with all the time."
"KRISSY!"
Syn felt her lips turn up slightly and nodded at the man walking over to them as he reached down to pick up his daughter and smile brightly at the child. "Nice to meet you."
Vivio is bluuuushhhing!~
and it IS quite surprising to know that Vivio has paperwork. XD

*sniffle* That's so sad. Short-term memory failure is even worse in some ways that having her be comatose or something, since Fate has to watch Nanoha forget her over and over.
*snicker* That's all I can say! Especially the extra! Chrono and Yuuno need some (boys') love, too!
BWAHAHAHAHA! And yet...it seems like I just read something similar somewhere...
This was just a gag (though I admit, I had actually thought up the spouse-in-law bit for use in the real fics), so I'm committing myself to nothing. But I do fully intend to write more...it's just that the Vivio fics kept pushing at me to get written!
*pounds head on nearby wall at the punchline*
You're trying to kill me, aren't you? (another Fate-as-dad reference...)
Actually, I think I know what Satashi was talking about--most of the fic is a funny story about an aging Fate and Nanoha and the jokes that go along with that, then the final gag heads off in a completely different direction, so it's not set up quite right. But it's still funny, and quite cute.
Heh, Vivio sounded just like Nanoha in the opening few paragraphs. I liked the scenes with Lina, Krissy, and Mark--it's fun to see Syn getting to interact with Vivio's co-workers and families on a "normal person" kind of basis, and getting to see how they're able to keep their family lives together is valuable information for her to absorb.
I have to say, though, that this isn't the best-written of chapters overall; it reads kind of first-drafty. There's the manor/manner thing; and Vivio's use of "friend" to refer to Syn rather than something more intimate like "girlfriend" or "lover" or "sweetheart"; and there's the phrase "higher ranked" to refer to the stars with more status...it just seems excessively formal; and Mark's "Hey, everyone," should be "Hey, everyone." instead since a separate sentence follows. Things like that...it just reads a little roughly, like you were trying to finish it quickly and get it posted.
I certainly care, speaking as an author--I may not like to hear it, but if I've been making a recurrent error I definitely want to be told.
That's a good point...while it's clear that Lina was under Krissy's supervision and had just broken away from her for a moment, if I was a parent taking my child with me to that environment, I'd want to keep a tight hold on her to make sure that she didn't accidentally blunder somewhere she shouldn't go.
And...yesterday, I posted the crack-fic "What's in a Name, Anyway?" (that's the one where Nanoha realizes that Fate's job title, uniform, weapon, and general appearance don't really suit the whole concept of "good guy"...) as the third chapter of "Vivio's Happy Family Magical Theater" and promptly racked more hits for a single story in a 24-hour period than I've ever before received at fanfiction.net...within the first twelve hours. It's crazy. So in celebration, I wrote an equally cracky sequel!
Or maybe it's just the medication from my wisdom-tooth surgery Tuesday talking. That's possible too.

"I just can't believe it," Nanoha stammered. Clearly, the Ace of Aces was having difficulty adapting to the idea that her treasured Fate-chan was apparently as much of a Minion of Evil as when they'd met ten years ago. "How did I miss this? Why didn't anybody tell me the TSAB was an oppressive regime ruling the dimensions with an iron fist?"
"We all thought you knew," Fate answered helplessly. "I mean, why else did you think they let me off after my trial without punishment? Good pre-trained recruits are hard to find!"
"But...but...what about when we saved Hayate and stopped the Book of Darkness? Or the whole incident with Jail Scaglietti? I mean, we were heroes...weren't we?"
"Do you realize what letting whole worlds get blown up does to your tax base? What's so heroic about efficient resource management? And...just because we're not nice doesn't mean we're crazy."
"Mou..."
"Should I have Yuuno find you a copy of that Evil Overlord List from the Infinite Library?"
"Fate-chan!" Nanoha wailed.
"Nanoha..." Fate reached out a hand to her, but Nanoha flinched back.
"I...I'm sorry, Fate-chan. I just need some time..."
"I'm still the same person I've always been, Nanoha. I really do love you."
"I know, I just..." She shook her head, then turned and ran off, leaving a stricken Fate standing in the street, staring after her with glistening eyes.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Fate sighed heavily as the door to the apartment she and Nanoha shared slid open. It had been a very long afternoon; reducing one's beloved to tears over lunch could do that to a day. Oddly, she noticed that the lights were on, but dimmed to around thirty percent.
"Nanoha? Are you home?"
"Mmmmf."
The sound was muffled and came from the bedroom. It wasn't a crying-into-the-pillow kind of sound; maybe she'd fallen asleep and Fate's arrival had woken her up. At least she hasn't moved out, Fate thought with relief, and followed the sound. When she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks, mouth sagging open.
Nanoha lay spread-eagled on the bed, the light of the dozen or so candles burning around the room painting her skin bronze. A great deal of that skin was revealed, because all she wore besides a strategically ripped camisole were lengths of crimson silk cord tied in intricate patterns across her body and securing her ankles to the bedposts. The muffled voice had been because she had another length of cord between her teeth; it was tying her wrists together and to the headboard and she was using her mouth to tighten off the last knot.
"N-Nanoha?"
The Ace of Aces gave her head one last twist, pulling the cord tight, then spat it out.
"Hi, Fate-chan!"
"What are you doing?"
Nanoha blinked.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm the innocent maiden kept at the mercy of the cruel Enforcer, who's going to use my nubile young body to satisfy all of her perverse lusts!"
LOl. hahahahahahaha. XDXD
Nanoha is soooooo coool!!!

Spoiler for Bless the Broken Road: The Grand Illusion:
Chapter 2: The Grand Illusion
“I wonder how Nanoha’s been lately…”
Amused, Kyouya glanced at Miyuki as the pair sat in a taxi, on their way to Elise’s apartment to meet up with their friend and younger sister. The plan was to explore the city together for awhile before going to visit Fiasse. “She comes home to visit every holiday.”
“I know, I know. But we’ve never seen her here, right? Maybe she acts differently.”
“Maybe, but I doubt it. Nanoha’s always been very steady and dependable.”
Miyuki shrugged and shifted slightly in her seat, retrieving a photograph from her pocket; it was bent around the edges but still in good condition, and for a few minutes the older siblings studied the image captured by the camera. The image had been sent to the Takamachi family last year, on Nanoha’s birthday, along with a letter from their youngest child and separate notes from her two caregivers. The photo had been shot in a park; Nanoha and Fiasse sat side-by-side while Elise sat in front of Nanoha, no doubt coaxed reluctantly into the position by her two companions. Nanoha had flung her arms happily around Elise’s neck, grinning into the camera. Fiasse had one hand soothingly on Elise’s shoulder and the other braced on Nanoha’s back, most likely to keep her upright, a laugh lighting up her face. A small, amused smile curved Elise’s lips slightly as she braced one hand on Nanoha’s shoulder to keep the younger girl steady, her other arm hugging Kuon to her chest.
“She seems happy, if it’s worth anything,” Kyouya murmured at last.
The door clicked open, the key Elise had sent by mail weeks earlier fitting perfectly as Miyuki and Kyouya stepped into the apartment. It was smaller than the house they shared with their parents, but it was clean and well-kept. It was also quiet. “Must be out,” Kyouya murmured as Miyuki darted from his side across the living room; he raised a brow and shook his head before calling after her, “No snooping while they’re gone, Miyuki.”
“I’m not going to snoop! I’m just curious, is all.”
“Curious. Right, right…”
Miyuki spun easily on her heel, sticking her tongue out playfully at her older brother as she darted through the living room, somehow miraculously missing all the pieces of furniture and not ending up flat on her face.
Miyuki claimed it was the skill of a trained swordsman.
Kyouya just figured she was lucky.
“Still, that’s weird.” He frowned, scanning the room. “Elise gave me a call while we were still on the plane, but she didn’t mention anything about going out.”
“Maybe something came up?”
Kyoua mulled the thought over as Miyuki poked her way through the apartment, scanning bookshelves and being a general snoop. She figured that as Nanoha’s older sister, she had the right to be nosy when it came to the details of her younger sibling’s life. She would have gone upstairs, but doing so would have attracted Kyouya’s attention and earned her a scolding. He still treated her like a child sometimes, though he was technically only two years older than her.
“Huh? Who is… oh! Kyouya, Miyuki!”
Miyuki’s streak of good luck ended abruptly as she yelped, jumped back, lost her balance, and tripped right over the couch with a loud crash.
A small sandy-colored fox raced down the stairs, her tail waving and the bell on her collar jingling softly; as she ran she was bathed in a golden glow, and by the time she’d reached the bottom of the stairs she’d achieved a human form, with fox ears and a tail. “Ah, are you alright? I didn’t mean to startle you, Elise told me that you guys would come but she and Nanoha had some target shooting…”
“It’s fine, don’t mind her. Miyuki overreacts a lot.”
With a groan of misery, Miyuki slowly staggered to her feet, rubbing the back of her sore head. “Mou, Kyou-chan, you’re so mean to me…” She blinked several times, looking at Kuon. “You’re… Kuon-san, right? Nanoha mentioned you, and you’re in pictures.”
The fox familiar smiled, giving a small bow. “That’s right. Kuon, at your service. You must be Kyouya and Miyuki.” She straightened up, flicking an ear briefly as she studied the two older siblings, Miyuki making her way back to Kyouya’s side, albeit moving slower than she’d been before. Kyouya frowned. “You can’t… possibly be Nanoha’s familiar, could you? Because according to the TSAB…”
“Oh! Oh, no.” Kuon shook her head. “I live here, but I’m not Nanoha’s familiar. I’m Fiasse’s.” She laughed sheepishly. “It’s… kind of a long story, actually, and I still don’t like talking about it after all these years.”
There was a moment of silence; then, Kyouya cleared his throat. “Um, you said Nanoha and Elise were out…?”
“Yeah.” Kuon nodded at the door. “Nanoha went to get some groceries with Alisa, then when she got back Elise took her to the shooting range. They’re probably still there.” She perked up. “Actually, I’ll take you there! Just give me a minute, Elise always says I need to be on a leash when I’m out…”
And with that, the fox familiar scampered down the hall.
Kyouya and Miyuki exchanged looks.
“… Why do I feel the urge to call her Kyon?” Miyuki whispered.
“Onee-sama, one more time? I think I’ve almost got it down.”
“No.”
“But I’ve only done it twice! I feel fine, I swear! Can’t I—“ “No.”
With a groan of misery Nanoha lowered her gun, glaring accusingly at Elise as Raising Heart flashed in its place on her beloved Beretta. A thin sheen of sweat shone on her forehead and her breathing was slightly more ragged than it had been before, but otherwise she was none the worse for wear; Elise couldn’t help but note that she wasn’t shaking anymore. She’s making some progress, at least, the blonde mused, ignoring the younger girl’s glare.
She stepped closer, gently prying the gun from Nanoha’s hands. “It’s already warm. I know you can feel it.” She frowned, looking at the brunette disapprovingly. “One more shot, and not only will you be drained, but your hands will be burned.”
“That’s not true! How am I supposed to know if I don’t even—“
Not even bothering to let Nanoha finish her sentence, Elise reached out and gave the fifteen-year-old’s ear a quick, hard twist. Nanoha yelped and immediately forgot about her gun, jerking back as her hand flew up protectively to shield her ear. “Ow! Owowowowow! Let go!”
Shaking her head, Elise released Nanoha’s ear. “You’ve always caved so easily to that,” she murmured, sliding her free hand into her pocket, Nanoha’s gun hanging loosely from her fingers. “It used to be easier when you were a kid.”
“But I’ve almost got it.” Nanoha rubbed her sore ear and grimaced. “Divine Sniper is the only one still giving me trouble.”
“Nanoha, one of these days you’ll master it. But until then, we follow your restrictions.” Elise held the gun out to her younger counterpart. “I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to see you die yet.”
Nanoha winced slightly; her eyes flickered before she sighed and took the gun from Elise. “Mou, no fair, saying things like that,” she murmured. “I don’t like worrying you so much, Onee-sama.” She gave a quick twist, and with a soft click Raising Heart rolled in the palm of her hand before floating up to the black ribbon around her neck. “Sorry, Raising Heart. Only a short session today. Onee-sama’s orders.” “Not to worry, my master.”
“Not my orders, for the last time.” But Elise’s lips quirked slightly.
Nanoha snorted and rocked back on her heels, tossing her hair back behind her shoulders as her eyes gleamed mischievously. “You still enjoy enforcing them, though,” the brunette teased. Elise raised a brow before setting down the gun.
“For the record, you were warned.”
In a fluid surge of motion, Elise caught the younger girl in a headlock. Nanoha let out a squeal of surprise and delight, struggling against the blonde’s strength, but Elise had a firm grip on her and wasn’t willing to let go. “O-Onee-sama!”
“Say uncle.”
“No!”
“Uncle, uncle, uncle.”
Elise all but sang the words, her eyes gleaming playfully as Nanoha grunted and twisted, still not capable of freeing herself. This was the side that seemed to be reserved for Nanoha and Nanoha alone; something about the younger girl always unlocked the mischief bubbling beneath Elise’s calm mask, kept tightly under lock and key whenever she was with others. With Fiasse it was released as gentle bickering, playful words shot back and forth. Under Nanoha’s hands, though, it came out unleashed in a way that delighted the brunette. It was Nanoha’s little secret, and she treasured it dearly.
But right now, she was willing to admit she was in over her head.
“Okay, okay!” Her voice was breathless from laughter and trying to escape Elise’s grasp. “Uncle, uncle! Let go!” “Uncle,” Raising Heart echoed cheerfully, and Nanoha could have sworn there was a hint of teasing in her mechanical voice.
Smirking, Elise tousled Nanoha’s hair gently before releasing the other girl, and Nanoha had been struggling so fiercely that she stumbled back and fell on her butt with a yelp and a thud. Elise raised a brow, her lips quirking.
“Graceful, Nanoha,” a voice called from the doorway. “Very graceful.”
Nanoha’s head snapped around; her eyes widened and lit up with delight as Kyouya and Miyuki walked towards them, Kuon tugging eagerly at the leash. “Onee-chan! Onii-chan!” With a laugh of delight the fifteen-year-old shot up and threw herself into her older siblings’ arms.
If this was the closest she could ever get to coming home, it would be more than enough.
If this was the closest Fiasse Crystera could ever get to sticking her middle finger at the world, it would be more than enough.
“Ma’am, may I recommend against the course of action you are about to take?”
Fiasse smiled slightly, adjusting her shawl to keep it straight and quickly sweeping her hair back into her customary ponytail, set higher than Elise’s. “You could,” she said calmly, “but I can’t promise I’ll listen.” “You haven’t changed a bit.” Sweet Song almost sounded exasperated.
“Sweet Song, the agreement between the TSAB and my family has stood strong for fifteen years. They don’t bother our personal problems, and we don’t bother theirs.” The smile on her face slowly slipped to the frown. “Whoever wants my mother’s diary, that’s a personal problem. And besides that, Nanoha and Elise…”
She trailed off for a few minutes, standing in contemplative silence. Shaking her head, Fiasse walked across the room and opened her office door, closing it behind her loud enough to attract Iria’s attention. “Iria, I’m going out,” Fiasse called over her shoulder as she breezed past the older woman. “Don’t wait for me.”
“Wait, what about the meeting with the TSAB? They’re arriving today to speak with you.”
Fiasse scowled.
“They’re a little too late to speak with me about anything. They should have said something fifteen years ago.”
Iria said nothing, just closed her eyes as Fiasse headed down the halls of the school, looking for the nearest exit. The change in her pocket clinked softly; she had enough for a taxi cab into the city.
It would be enough.
Outside, a tree branch bent slightly, as if beneath some weight of a person bathed in shadows. As Fiasse walked out to the main path, the tree rattled and a few leaves drifted soundlessly to the grass as her mystery pursuer followed in her footsteps.
“Nanoha mentioned something about learning how to handle a gun in the video letters she sent home.” Miyuki sipped absently from her can, watching her sister play with Kuon among the trees of the deserted park. It was midday and relatively empty, a good place to waste some free time. Elise had let Kuon of the leash, much to the little fox’s delight, and she and Nanoha were now darting through the park in a carefree game of hide and seek. Or maybe it was tag. It was hard to tell.
Elise, Miyuki, and Kyouya had taken residence on a park bench, Miyuki drinking a can of Pepsi while Kyouya chose coffee. Elise shrugged quietly and leaned back, her shoulder brushing Kyouya’s. “There’s no law against it,” the blonde said quietly. “She’s a hard worker and she learns fast. Plus, it’s an easy way for her to still use some form of magic, even if it’s not what she was used to.”
Kyouya paused, his cup at his lips as he glanced at Elise out of the corner of her eye. “Magic?”
“It’s perfectly safe. She isn’t even using half of what she used to.” Nanoha tackled Kuon, and the two rolled through the grass, giggling and wrestling. “I know her limits, Kyouya, don’t look at me like that.”
Miyuki sighed, elbowing her brother softly as she swallowed a mouthful of Pepsi and making him cough as coffee went down the wrong pipe. “He’s worried. Sorry. It’s just…” Her voice softened slightly, mindful of Nanoha, and the three instinctively leaned in closer. “Shamal-san said her Linker Core sustained permanent damage from the injury. It shrunk down drastically and never managed to recover. That’s why she can’t handle the level of magic she was before.”
“I still don’t totally understand exactly what happened.” Elise frowned, narrowing her eyes. “I got a copy of the report when I started teaching her how to shoot, but the only word I’m familiar with is Linker Core and how it’s linked to magic. And that’s just vaguely.”
“Simply put, the thing that drove itself through her chest attacked her in two ways.” Kyouya took a long sip of coffee to drown out the hot, brotherly surge of anger. “Physically, of course, it stabbed her through the chest. But magically, it also got a good grip on her Linker Core and, more or less, tried to rip it out of her body. The magical damage she sustained from that would have killed her if the wound didn’t. Thankfully, Vita-san was able to get the damn thing off before it succeeded, so all it did was yank out a good portion of her Linker Core. Not enough to kill her, but it weakened her.”
Elise shuddered and looked up; Nanoha met her gaze and grinned, waving at her cheerfully before Kuon, in human form now, tackled her back to the grass and instigated another round of wrestling. For a moment the three adults gazed at her, watching her play; slowly they all relaxed again. “By the way, Elise,” Kyouya began conversationally. “Has Nanoha expressed a… interest in anyone since she came here?”
Miyuki giggled quietly, stifling it behind her hand as Elise raised a brow. For a moment the blonde said nothing; then she smirked and shrugged, putting her hands back behind her head and closing her eyes. “It’s becoming quite a problem, actually,” she said mildly, opening one eye to observe Kyouya. “I’m running out of places to hide the bodies.”
Kyouya’s eyes widened and he choked on his coffee, doubling over as he was hit by a coughing fit. Miyuki howled with laughter, clutching her stomach with her arm and Elise smirked, opening her eyes and straightening up. “Breathe, Kyouya,” she ordered, thumping the man on the back. “I’m just joking. People have shown an interest in Nanoha, but she isn’t returning it at all.” She frowned contemplatively. “Actually, sometimes it feels like she’s already fallen for someone, but she feels she can’t have them now.” She shrugged.
Kyouya and Miyuki exchanged knowing looks. Suddenly, the dark-haired man chuckled. “Actually, speaking of falling for someone you can’t have—“
“Oi!” Blushing, Miyuki whacked Kyouya on the shoulder. “Quiet, you!”
“No worries, ‘Yuki.” Elise chuckled, observing her friend with gentle eyes. “I already know about it.”
“E-eh? Y-you do? Wait! How did you—“
Suddenly Kuon sat bolt upright, her ears swiveling forward. Nanoha frowned. “Kuon?”
Kuon trembled.
“Fiasse’s in trouble.”
Suddenly, Elise was glad that she’d decided to keep Nanoha’s gun with her.
The blow rocked the ground beneath Fiasse’s feet; she couldn’t keep her balance even if she tried and she fell, skidding against the pavement of the sidewalk. Her hair band snapped and her hair flowed freely down her back as she braced herself on her elbow, panting, her face darkened red and black by bruises.
“Ma’am!”
A soft laugh made her head snap up, and Fiasse narrowed her eyes as the young man knelt on the lamp post, smirking. He was a familiar; she could tell by the look of him, with the ears and tail of a tiger. His golden eyes gleamed and he clenched his fingers. “You know,” he began lazily, his tail waving in the air behind him, “if you just gave us the diary like we asked, we wouldn’t have to do this.” He paused, tilted his head to the side, laughed again. “But then, this is just me.”
He disappeared in a blur of orange and black, and Fiasse’s heart pounded against her ribs. Gasping still, she reached up and gripped Sweet Song tightly, closing her eyes as the small purple gem in the center of the cross flashed. “No harm shall fall on the child born yesterday,” she sang, her voice soft but sure.
“Prepare yourself, ma’am.”
“The enemy brought on the northern winds…” Her eyes snapped open as Sweet Song flashed a brilliant, dark royal purple. “… Shall not be allowed to pass!!”
Wind surged up and forward, swirling around her; the tiger familiar’s eyes widened, but he was going too fast to slow his descent on her. “What the hell?”
“ARMOR SHIELD!”
He crashed headlong into the bubble-shaped wind that encompassed the young songstress, was ripped brutally to the side by its strong cold current and thrown none too gently into a nearby park bench, which he tipped right over. Grimacing Fiasse slowly sat up, narrowing her eyes and trying desperately to weigh her options. The park was empty, thankfully; no innocents would get caught in their battle. Guess I have no choice but to stay on the defensive for now, she thought, her muscles tensing as the tiger familiar sprang over the broken bench, blood running down his face.
“You little bitch!” His voice was a high-pitched roar of fury, and Fiasse was suddenly reminded of an evil little boy that had had his favorite toy taken away. With a snarl he surged towards her and she grimaced, bracing for the impact that was sure to come. She wouldn’t be injured—yet—but maintaining Armor Shield took up a great deal of her energy.
Heh… and I never even got to see…
The sound of a gunshot made her head whip around, eyes wide; whoever had fired was a good judge of speed, at least somewhat, as the tiger was thrown to the side, blood spurting from an injury in his shoulder.
“Damn.” Nanoha scowled, lowering her gun. “I was aiming for his head.”
“We’ll work on target shooting later,” Elise promised, yanking one of her own guns free. “Fiasse! Are you okay?”
Straightening up, Fiasse smiled weakly and nodded; with the distraction Armor Shield faded away, and Miyuki surged forward to cradle her close, gently stroking the older woman’s cheek. Her blue eyes darkened dangerously. “You’re bleeding.”
“Just a scratch.” Fiasse rested her head against Miyuki’s chest. “How did you know I was in trouble?”
“Kuon.” Kneeling on her other side, Kyouya jerked his head at the familiar, who had assumed a stance between the Takamachi siblings and Elise and Nanoha. “Fiasse, what the hell have you gotten into this time?”
Fiasse laughed weakly. “I don’t even know.”
Nanoha let out a soft sigh of relief, rubbing Raising Heart between her fingers as the device flashed impatiently. “Down girl,” she whispered. “As you wish, my master.”
“Nanoha.” Elise spared her younger counterpart a quick look. “Remember your limits.”
“Mou, Onee-sama!”
The tiger familiar was nowhere to be seen. Elise frowned, slowly scanning the area with her eyes. “Where the hell is that bastard?” she murmured, and straightened up. “Stay with Fiasse,” she ordered Nanoha. “I’m going to try tracking him down. He isn’t getting off that easily.” Nanoha nodded, and Elise set off. Narrowing her eyes, Nanoha tightened her grip on her gun and shifted so she was standing between her friends and the rest of the open park. At the sound of Fiasse’s voice, she looked back. “What was that, Fiasse-chan?”
“We can’t stay here.” Fiasse gritted her teeth, struggling to stand. “If the TSAB agents have arrived yet, they’ll feel the magic I released and come here.”
Nanoha stiffened; her eyes widened and she nearly dropped her gun as her fingers went limp. “The TSAB?” she whispered, and dread slowly crept into her eyes.
As if right on cue, she felt the tingling that announced the arrival of another being via teleportation, and she could only stare in a kind of helpless disbelief as Chrono Harlaown materialized in the air, eyeing the group with a cold glare. “That’s us,” he said calmly. “We got worried when you weren’t in your office, Crystera-san.”
Fiasse bit her lip and said nothing. Chrono slowly swept his eyes over the small gathering. “Well,” he murmured, “some familiar faces here I see, and…” His voice faded away; his eyes widened. “Nanoha?” he croaked.
Nanoha could say nothing. If Chrono was here, then that had to mean—
Another tingle, twice as strong as before; two people were arriving now.
“Heh, I feel kind of sorry for Yuuno-kun. Poor guy looked downcast when we said he couldn’t come along.”
“He isn’t a combat mage, Hayate-chan. Having him come along would make no sense, especially since this is just a small problem…”
They couldn’t be here.
But they were.
Barely even breathing, Nanoha watched as Yagami Hayate and Fate T. Harlaown materialized, one on either side of Chrono. Her throat tightened up; her heart clenched painfully. Hayate was giggling quietly, while Fate’s eyes gleamed with quiet amusement.
She’s beautiful.
Hayate saw her first; she blinked several times as if to make sure her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her before opening her mouth, obviously intent on getting Fate’s attention, as the blonde was currently looking at Kyouya, Kuon, Miyuki, and Fiasse with curious eyes. Nanoha shook her head furiously, but it was too late.
For the first time in four years, blue eyes met burgundy.
“Na… Nanoha?”
Nanoha swallowed. She couldn’t move. “Fate-chan.” Her voice was weak, barely above a whisper, and for a long moment the two stared at each other, neither sure of what to do now. The gun slipped through her fingers, dangling freely now.
For the two of them, time seemed to freeze.
Unfortunately, for everyone else, this wasn’t the case.
“Nanoha! BEHIND YOU!!”
Elise’s shout jerked Nanoha out of her reverie and she whirled around, eyes wide, just in time to see a blur of orange and black, teeth bared in a feral grin and long claws extended.
The tiger familiar narrowed his eyes; he snorted softly before yanking his hand free, blood dripping from the tips of his claws.
With a choked gasp, her stomach spurting blood and staining her shirt dark red, Elise sagged into Nanoha’s arms. Her weight pulled the younger girl down to her knees, and Nanoha let out an anguished cry. Elise’s gun lay behind the familiar, dropped in her haste to reach the younger girl. “Crap…” Elise grimaced, resting her head against Nanoha’s shoulder. “I… always forget… how it hurts…”
With a growl the tiger familiar turned away. There were too many people for his taste; better to retreat now and get yelled at. Fury! The female shriek in his head made him cringe. Where the hell are you? You didn’t get into trouble again, did you?! You know what our mistress said about doing things behind her back! Relax, Glory. He grimaced, scratching the back of his neck. I didn’t do anything bad. I’m coming home now. Tell Blaze to calm down, too.
Hey, it’s your ass that gets skinned, not mine.
I love you too.
With his back turned, the tiger couldn’t see what Nanoha was doing; in one fluid motion, still supporting Elise, the brunette yanked Raising Heart off the ribbon and clicked her into place on the gun. Elise winced, blinking groggily as she was bathed in pink light. She heard Nanoha’s breathing hitch and grow ragged, her body still exhausted from practice at the target range, her body beginning to shake; but her eyes were blank, narrow, and her grip on the gun was tight and true, aiming right at the tiger’s back.
It would only take one shot.
“Nanoha.” Elise’s hand came up, covered hers. “Don’t. You’ve reached your limit. Your Linker Core can’t take much more.” She coughed, but stayed focused on her charge. “Nanoha. I know you hear me. Stay with me, kid.” Her voice softened, was almost gentle. “Come back now. Lower the gun, Nanoha.”
There was a flash of dark orange; blinking, everyone looked up, only to discover the tiger was gone.
Slowly, Nanoha closed her eyes; she inhaled deeply and lowered the gun, releasing a shuddering sigh as her magic circle faded away into nothingness. Her body was still trembling and her breathing was still unsteady, but she hadn’t fired. “That’s my girl,” Elise whispered, smiling tiredly.
“How did you get here so fast?” Nanoha’s voice was anguished; she released the gun and turned her hand, clasping fingers with Elise. “You were all the way behind him.”
“That’s for me to know and you to never find out.”
Fate glanced to the side as Chrono clicked his device off. “I just got in contact with the ship,” he said emotionlessly. He motioned briefly to Elise. “She’ll be treated in the medical center. You’re all coming with us.”
No one said anything.
Fate couldn’t tear her eyes off Nanoha. The brunette was cradling an older woman in her arms, and there was a softness to her voice she’d never heard before as she spoke in low tones, a gentleness to her eyes that she’d never seen.
The four-year-old gash on her heart throbbed painfully against her ribs.
How much have you changed, Nanoha?
Looking forward to more interactions between Nonaha and Fate.
And a tiger familliar, thats interesting.

Botan Jungle
Vita walked inside the temple, it was dark, like a big vault, Kai grabed a torch who was hanging on the wall, and shaking 2 stones against each other, he set fire on it
"You better find what you are looking quick... this place gives me a bad spine"
"Me too... okay, I'll jus look around and if there isn't nothing who could call my atention, we just leave"
"That's a good idea" Kai added
Vita and Kai started to chek the big hall in wich they were, it looked like a tyoical temple, wall of stone, pillars on the middle holding the roof, all covered with dust and spyderwebs
"There is nothing here that could...!" Vita remained silent when she saw that wall
"What? Is something wrong?" Kai asked, but Vita didn't answered, she remained silent looking at the wall, Kai the reaper aproached with the torch, illuminating the wall to see better, it was a serie of images grabed on the stone
"It's... it's true... I... I have a sister!" Vita said with a tear rolling down her check
"What? What are you saing?"
Vita took the torch from Kai's hands and aproached it to the first image
In it there was some kind of staff, with the image of an eye at it's top, behind the staff there was a city covered with flames
Vita move the torch to the second image
In it, there was an old man speaking to some kind of Dragons
Vita then moved the torch to the third image
In it, at the left corner, an image of a girl with exactly the smae hair style as Vita, but with a strange tatoo on her left arm, and in the other corne, another girl with the same hairstyle, with another tatoo but this one on the right arm
Finally, Vita moved the torch to the fourth image
In this one, the girl who resembled Vita and the other girl who was just like her, were each one holding a sword and runing at the top of a pyramide, at the top of the pyramide, was the same staff of the first image covered with fire
"One... one of these two girls must be me... the other is... is my sister... and... and what is this staff?"
"The Master Light" Kai replied
"What?!" Vita asked because she remembered that Leviathan said something about 'The Master Light'
"The forbidden staff... this thing is the most powerfull lost logia that has ever existed"
"How... powerfull?" Vita asked
"You don't know? The Master Light is the responsable for the destruction of the old Belkan Imperie"
"But... buta what does it have to be with me? Waht is all this? Whar does all this mean?!"
Suddenly, fire set on all the torchs on the hall, the big chamber was now totally illuminated, out of no were, a big group of menas appeared and surrounded Kai and Vita, they were strange warriors with a blue costume ninja-like, they were wearing helmest with a shape who resembled some kind of Dragon, all of the warriors were armed with swords
"Get her!!!" OIne of them screamed and all the attackers charged against Vita and Kai
"What the...?!" Kai pulled out his staff and sword, really quickly and entered in combat with the warriors, Vita grabed Graff Eissen and did the same
"Look! Is she! She's Vita!" One of the warriors screamed
"Do not let her reach the main chamber!" Other one comanded
Vita sumoned her silver balls projectiles and shooted them against the enemies, she meerly hited 2, these guys were really quickly, the released a pair of attacked before jumping away in order to engage combat again
Kai was also having troubles to deal with them, he swinged his staff several times to made them jump away, if he managed to catch one, he quickly cutted his neck with his sword
"Who the hell are these guys?!" Vita asked whil smashing one against the floor, breaking his neck
"I don't know, but they move like assasins!" Kai added protecting himslef from a sword slash
"Behind you!" Vita jumped just over the head of Kai, in order to smash a warrior who was just gonna attack Kai from above
"Thanks" Kai said
"You own me one" Vita sadi, Kai quickly launched his staff against Vita, the weapon passed just at the side of her neck, when Vita turned, she saw that the Staff was impaled on the chest of a warrior who was just behind Vita
"Here you go, my debt is alredy paid" Kai said
After some seconds, all the misterious attackers were alredy dead, Vita put Garff Eissen down and cleaned the blood who was cming out of the bit slash at her check
"It seems that these guys know me... but how could they?" Vita asked
"Worse... it seems that they were waiting for you" Kai said while grabing his staff again
"That's... that's imposible!"
"Yes... it sounds totally ridiculous, but you heared them"
Vita couldn't answer, Kai was right, those warriors called Vita by her name
"Something tells me that our answers are at the main chamber of this Temple" The mage added
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Krimsom Forest
"I won't ask you again! Were is Marksellus?!"
Positron asked one more time about this misterious girl, but Zaphira had no idea of hwat the hell was this guy talking about
"Look, I don't want any trouble, I... I don't even know how I came here in the first place"
"Don't try to make fun of me Tarrephan!" Positron added
"Tarrephan? And what is that?" Zaphira asked, he wasn't sure why but the word "Tarrephan" sounded quite familiar to him
Positron didn't answered, he sumoned a starne light to his hands and he then launched it against Zaphira as a projectile
"AGHHHHH!!!" Zaphira hited the ground, the ligh was electricity and it burned a small poart of the skin on his chest, It hurted like hell
"Maybe this will refresh your ideas Tarrephan, this is your last chance, Were is Marksellus? Were is the mdallion?!"
Zaphira inmediatly standed up and with a jump, he kicked Positron on the chest and launched him against the ground
"Don't take me as a dumb enemy mate!"
"In that case...2 Positron said while standing up "You'll die!"
The craeture sumoned more electricity on his hands and launched it against Zaphira, the wolf evade the attack this time, jumping away and then jumping againt to kick Positron the same way, the creature also blocked the attack this time, managing to grabb Zaphira's leg before he could conect the kick and launching him against a tree
"You are good Tarrephan, but not as good as the prince of the escarbatrons"
Zaphira ignored the words of the 'Escarbatron' and he standed up to conect a hit aginst his foe, Positron blocket the hit with his arms, but the impact was so strong that he was launched away
Angry, Positron standed up and launched another electric projectile against Zaphira, the wolf sumoned a shield to protect himself
"Look... this is ridiculous, I don't even know you!" Zaphira insisted, tring to put an end to the fight
"Save your words for your ancestors when you meet them Tarrephan!" Positron opened his wings, her body got fulled with electricity, starting from hir horn to his feets, he turned himself into a living projectile who charged against Zaphira, the wolf sumonned again his shield, but Positron broke it and smashed his body, Zaphira was launched against a tree and the impact was so strong that the tree was broke in two
"Now... let's put an end to this" Positron raised his hands, in the middle of them, a ball of electricity started to be formed, it started to turn big and big, in less than a minute, it was bigger than Positron
"Die Tarrephan!" Positron yelled
"Sorry... I have thinsg to do better than that" Zaphira inmediatly standed up and conected a hit on Positron's stomach and another one to his ches, the creature was launched against a tree, Zaphira then jumped and with another powerfull hit, he smashed the enormus ball of electricity who was launched against Positron
Zphira falled over one knee, tired for the battle, hurted and shacking, Positron also standed, he look at Zaphira and then he said
"The victory is your Tarrephan... for now, but when we meet agaon on the battlefield, you won't be so lucky" He then jumped between the trees and disapeared in the middle of the green forest
"What... the hell was that?" Zaphira asked to himslef while tring to stand up, but before he could rise his head he felt a strong hit on the back of his head, who made him fall unconcious
Another BtBR short, hopefully cuter and funnier than "This Is The Way (A Heart Breaks)". Timeline wise I say this lil' guy occurs after Nanoha gets her gun, but before she pulls the trigger in "This Is The Way (A Heart Breaks)". So she's still learning her limits and whatnot.
Spoiler for They have insurance for this, right?:
“Um, Elise, not that I don’t trust your judgment… but do you think it’s a good idea for Nanoha to shoot with Raising Heart without something to reinforce the target?”
Elise glanced over her shoulder at Fiasse, who sat on a bench watching the twelve-year-old practice. She’d picked up shooting at an amazingly quick pace, and was chomping at the bit to try using magic with her bullets now that Elise had gotten a report confirming that she was capable of it. Kuon was curled in Fiasse’s lap, purring softly as the golden-haired songstress stroked her back.
“We don’t know her limits until she tries, right?” Elise shrugged, turning back to her charge with arms crossed loosely over her chest. “Besides, the report said she can’t handle half the magic she used to. How bad can it be?”
Fiasse wisely chose not to speak up.
A pink light bathed the room as the magical circle formed beneath Nanoha’s feet; she exhaled softly and opened her eyes, wincing a little as the gun warmed in her hands. “Ready, Raising Heart?” “Whenever you are, my master.”
Nanoha grinned before lifting her voice in a familiar shout.
“Divine Buster!!”
The bullet shot from the gun, a trail of pink sparks flying in its wake; it slammed headlong into the target with all the speed of a missile, shaking the wall to its core.
Elise’s jaw dropped as the bullet drilled through the target and into the wall with a loud THUD, unable to bury itself any further into the thick concrete. Nanoha slowly lowered her gun, wincing slightly as the target crashed to the ground and snapped in half. She looked back nervously at Elise and smiled. “Nyahaha… um… my bad?”
And...yesterday, I posted the crack-fic "What's in a Name, Anyway?" (that's the one where Nanoha realizes that Fate's job title, uniform, weapon, and general appearance don't really suit the whole concept of "good guy"...) as the third chapter of "Vivio's Happy Family Magical Theater" and promptly racked more hits for a single story in a 24-hour period than I've ever before received at fanfiction.net...within the first twelve hours. It's crazy. So in celebration, I wrote an equally cracky sequel!
Or maybe it's just the medication from my wisdom-tooth surgery Tuesday talking. That's possible too.
Spoiler for Dating Evil!Fate (wanders into semi-NSFW territory):
"I just can't believe it," Nanoha stammered. Clearly, the Ace of Aces was having difficulty adapting to the idea that her treasured Fate-chan was apparently as much of a Minion of Evil as when they'd met ten years ago. "How did I miss this? Why didn't anybody tell me the TSAB was an oppressive regime ruling the dimensions with an iron fist?"
"We all thought you knew," Fate answered helplessly. "I mean, why else did you think they let me off after my trial without punishment? Good pre-trained recruits are hard to find!"
"But...but...what about when we saved Hayate and stopped the Book of Darkness? Or the whole incident with Jail Scaglietti? I mean, we were heroes...weren't we?"
"Do you realize what letting whole worlds get blown up does to your tax base? What's so heroic about efficient resource management? And...just because we're not nice doesn't mean we're crazy."
"Mou..."
"Should I have Yuuno find you a copy of that Evil Overlord List from the Infinite Library?"
"Fate-chan!" Nanoha wailed.
"Nanoha..." Fate reached out a hand to her, but Nanoha flinched back.
"I...I'm sorry, Fate-chan. I just need some time..."
"I'm still the same person I've always been, Nanoha. I really do love you."
"I know, I just..." She shook her head, then turned and ran off, leaving a stricken Fate standing in the street, staring after her with glistening eyes.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Fate sighed heavily as the door to the apartment she and Nanoha shared slid open. It had been a very long afternoon; reducing one's beloved to tears over lunch could do that to a day. Oddly, she noticed that the lights were on, but dimmed to around thirty percent.
"Nanoha? Are you home?"
"Mmmmf."
The sound was muffled and came from the bedroom. It wasn't a crying-into-the-pillow kind of sound; maybe she'd fallen asleep and Fate's arrival had woken her up. At least she hasn't moved out, Fate thought with relief, and followed the sound. When she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks, mouth sagging open.
Nanoha lay spread-eagled on the bed, the light of the dozen or so candles burning around the room painting her skin bronze. A great deal of that skin was revealed, because all she wore besides a strategically ripped camisole were lengths of crimson silk cord tied in intricate patterns across her body and securing her ankles to the bedposts. The muffled voice had been because she had another length of cord between her teeth; it was tying her wrists together and to the headboard and she was using her mouth to tighten off the last knot.
"N-Nanoha?"
The Ace of Aces gave her head one last twist, pulling the cord tight, then spat it out.
"Hi, Fate-chan!"
"What are you doing?"
Nanoha blinked.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm the innocent maiden kept at the mercy of the cruel Enforcer, who's going to use my nubile young body to satisfy all of her perverse lusts!"
LOL, nice short, the second scene was unexpected.
...But this is not the end, right? Where is my sequel?
I hope you keep writing this kind of fic. And congratulations for your achievement at ff.net.
Vita walked inside the temple, it was dark, like a big vault, Kai grabed a torch who was hanging on the wall, and shaking 2 stones against each other, he set fire on it
"You better find what you are looking quick... this place gives me a bad spine"
"Me too... okay, I'll jus look around and if there isn't nothing who could call my atention, we just leave"
"That's a good idea" Kai added
Vita and Kai started to chek the big hall in wich they were, it looked like a tyoical temple, wall of stone, pillars on the middle holding the roof, all covered with dust and spyderwebs
"There is nothing here that could...!" Vita remained silent when she saw that wall
"What? Is something wrong?" Kai asked, but Vita didn't answered, she remained silent looking at the wall, Kai the reaper aproached with the torch, illuminating the wall to see better, it was a serie of images grabed on the stone
"It's... it's true... I... I have a sister!" Vita said with a tear rolling down her check
"What? What are you saing?"
Vita took the torch from Kai's hands and aproached it to the first image
In it there was some kind of staff, with the image of an eye at it's top, behind the staff there was a city covered with flames
Vita move the torch to the second image
In it, there was an old man speaking to some kind of Dragons
Vita then moved the torch to the third image
In it, at the left corner, an image of a girl with exactly the smae hair style as Vita, but with a strange tatoo on her left arm, and in the other corne, another girl with the same hairstyle, with another tatoo but this one on the right arm
Finally, Vita moved the torch to the fourth image
In this one, the girl who resembled Vita and the other girl who was just like her, were each one holding a sword and runing at the top of a pyramide, at the top of the pyramide, was the same staff of the first image covered with fire
"One... one of these two girls must be me... the other is... is my sister... and... and what is this staff?"
"The Master Light" Kai replied
"What?!" Vita asked because she remembered that Leviathan said something about 'The Master Light'
"The forbidden staff... this thing is the most powerfull lost logia that has ever existed"
"How... powerfull?" Vita asked
"You don't know? The Master Light is the responsable for the destruction of the old Belkan Imperie"
"But... buta what does it have to be with me? Waht is all this? Whar does all this mean?!"
Suddenly, fire set on all the torchs on the hall, the big chamber was now totally illuminated, out of no were, a big group of menas appeared and surrounded Kai and Vita, they were strange warriors with a blue costume ninja-like, they were wearing helmest with a shape who resembled some kind of Dragon, all of the warriors were armed with swords
"Get her!!!" OIne of them screamed and all the attackers charged against Vita and Kai
"What the...?!" Kai pulled out his staff and sword, really quickly and entered in combat with the warriors, Vita grabed Graff Eissen and did the same
"Look! Is she! She's Vita!" One of the warriors screamed
"Do not let her reach the main chamber!" Other one comanded
Vita sumoned her silver balls projectiles and shooted them against the enemies, she meerly hited 2, these guys were really quickly, the released a pair of attacked before jumping away in order to engage combat again
Kai was also having troubles to deal with them, he swinged his staff several times to made them jump away, if he managed to catch one, he quickly cutted his neck with his sword
"Who the hell are these guys?!" Vita asked whil smashing one against the floor, breaking his neck
"I don't know, but they move like assasins!" Kai added protecting himslef from a sword slash
"Behind you!" Vita jumped just over the head of Kai, in order to smash a warrior who was just gonna attack Kai from above
"Thanks" Kai said
"You own me one" Vita sadi, Kai quickly launched his staff against Vita, the weapon passed just at the side of her neck, when Vita turned, she saw that the Staff was impaled on the chest of a warrior who was just behind Vita
"Here you go, my debt is alredy paid" Kai said
After some seconds, all the misterious attackers were alredy dead, Vita put Garff Eissen down and cleaned the blood who was cming out of the bit slash at her check
"It seems that these guys know me... but how could they?" Vita asked
"Worse... it seems that they were waiting for you" Kai said while grabing his staff again
"That's... that's imposible!"
"Yes... it sounds totally ridiculous, but you heared them"
Vita couldn't answer, Kai was right, those warriors called Vita by her name
"Something tells me that our answers are at the main chamber of this Temple" The mage added
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Krimsom Forest
"I won't ask you again! Were is Marksellus?!"
Positron asked one more time about this misterious girl, but Zaphira had no idea of hwat the hell was this guy talking about
"Look, I don't want any trouble, I... I don't even know how I came here in the first place"
"Don't try to make fun of me Tarrephan!" Positron added
"Tarrephan? And what is that?" Zaphira asked, he wasn't sure why but the word "Tarrephan" sounded quite familiar to him
Positron didn't answered, he sumoned a starne light to his hands and he then launched it against Zaphira as a projectile
"AGHHHHH!!!" Zaphira hited the ground, the ligh was electricity and it burned a small poart of the skin on his chest, It hurted like hell
"Maybe this will refresh your ideas Tarrephan, this is your last chance, Were is Marksellus? Were is the mdallion?!"
Zaphira inmediatly standed up and with a jump, he kicked Positron on the chest and launched him against the ground
"Don't take me as a dumb enemy mate!"
"In that case...2 Positron said while standing up "You'll die!"
The craeture sumoned more electricity on his hands and launched it against Zaphira, the wolf evade the attack this time, jumping away and then jumping againt to kick Positron the same way, the creature also blocked the attack this time, managing to grabb Zaphira's leg before he could conect the kick and launching him against a tree
"You are good Tarrephan, but not as good as the prince of the escarbatrons"
Zaphira ignored the words of the 'Escarbatron' and he standed up to conect a hit aginst his foe, Positron blocket the hit with his arms, but the impact was so strong that he was launched away
Angry, Positron standed up and launched another electric projectile against Zaphira, the wolf sumoned a shield to protect himself
"Look... this is ridiculous, I don't even know you!" Zaphira insisted, tring to put an end to the fight
"Save your words for your ancestors when you meet them Tarrephan!" Positron opened his wings, her body got fulled with electricity, starting from hir horn to his feets, he turned himself into a living projectile who charged against Zaphira, the wolf sumonned again his shield, but Positron broke it and smashed his body, Zaphira was launched against a tree and the impact was so strong that the tree was broke in two
"Now... let's put an end to this" Positron raised his hands, in the middle of them, a ball of electricity started to be formed, it started to turn big and big, in less than a minute, it was bigger than Positron
"Die Tarrephan!" Positron yelled
"Sorry... I have thinsg to do better than that" Zaphira inmediatly standed up and conected a hit on Positron's stomach and another one to his ches, the creature was launched against a tree, Zaphira then jumped and with another powerfull hit, he smashed the enormus ball of electricity who was launched against Positron
Zphira falled over one knee, tired for the battle, hurted and shacking, Positron also standed, he look at Zaphira and then he said
"The victory is your Tarrephan... for now, but when we meet agaon on the battlefield, you won't be so lucky" He then jumped between the trees and disapeared in the middle of the green forest
"What... the hell was that?" Zaphira asked to himslef while tring to stand up, but before he could rise his head he felt a strong hit on the back of his head, who made him fall unconcious
Albert Kipper, better known as Big Al, was sitting in his troopship alongside with General Alphonse Jericho, the general in charge of initiating the orbital platform project. The troopship plunged into the atmosphere of Mid-Childa, ionization building up outside of the troopship. “Alphonse, after today, what say we go get some grub at the local café? I’ve never tried their food before,” Big Al said. Alphonse nodded but remained silent, his face was serious and grim. He combed back his white hair and reloaded his handgun.
“Maybe you should stop thinking about food for once, Albert Fatso. We’re here for an important project, not to eat at a buffet,” Alphonse said. “Don’t be such a sour puss, Alphonse. Even we need some rest once in a while,” Big Al said. Albert came from a medium class family while Alphonse was once a poor farm boy. Albert took the best out of life and that attributed to his cheerfulness while hard work and surviving in a competitive society made Alphonse a man suitable for being a general. Albert was a good negotiator and it is because of him that he persuaded the Mid-Childans to agree with the defense project.
They were friends since high school at Texas, USA. Albert was always the one persuading people to make friends with Alphonse and comforting him while Alphonse was Albert’s protector from bullies as he was strong. However as years went by, they rarely saw each other until now. Albert was happy to see him and so was Alphonse but he never showed any emotions. The troopship landed in front of the Capital Defense HQ and the compartment door opened. Guards on both sides of the ship saluted with the Mid-Childan officers waiting at the very end of the line, which was the entrance of the building. “Well then Alphonse, you do the speaking while I back you up if you need any help. Don’t sweat it, you can do it,” said Albert with a smile. Alphonse returned his smile with a rare smile of his. He rarely cracked a smile.
From afar, Signum was leading a group of security personnel in a guarding duty. She stopped to see the Primary Defense Minister and watch him follow a man in front of him. Signum gave a short laugh after seeing a man that fat. “I heard he was fat but not that fat,” she said to herself. She saw light flares coming from nearby buildings. There were Terran and Mid-Childan snipers posted in the buildings as ordered by Hayate. Signum didn’t understand why Hayate asked for the extra security but she dared not question her. Maybe she had her reasons. “Signum,” someone called out. Turning around, she saw Vita with Caro and Erio. “These two are still not sure where should they be posted,” Vita said. Signum pointed at the entrance of the HQ courtyard. “You two were supposed to be there 10 minutes ago,” Signum said sternly.
“Sorry, Miss Signum. Caro woke up late and I had to wait for her,” explained Erio, his voice deeper than it was when he was younger. “Yeah well, I don’t take excuses so go man your posts,” said Signum. The two saluted and went off. Just then, Nanoha came running by. “Sorry I’m late guys, did I miss anything?” she asked. “That Fat Al just arrived and Miss Hayate just posted snipers on every building. The death threat seems moot and no one seems to be attempting to assassinate him,” said Signum. “Whatever it is, she has her reasons and I’m sure it’s a good one,” Vita said.
Turning to Nanoha, Vita smiled at her. “What did you do last night?” she asked. “I…uh, got into a fight,” Nanoha said. “No, I mean after you went to bed,” Vita said. Nanoha shrugged and said nothing. “Uh…look, it’s private so I’m not telling,” Nanoha said with a blush. She quickly went towards the HQ entrance and stood her post. “Heh, that was a big reaction from her,” Vita said with a satisfied smile. “Speaking of big reaction, what were you doing at Altier’s house yesterday?” Signum asked. Vita’s face became redder than Nanoha’s. “I get it; you were doing that ‘thing’ with him, didn’t you? Vita, someone is not gonna be pleased besides Miss Hayate. A certain someone reading this now is gonna get sad,” Signum said. “Hey, I did nothing with Altier and I’m not dating him! He just asked me over for dinner!” Vita yelled at Signum. “Now who has the big reaction?” Signum smiled.
Nanoha saluted as Big Al passed by. Two of the troops following behind looked at Nanoha and whispered something to each other. At that very moment, Nanoha thought she saw familiar names on the two troopers’ name tags. One looked like it had the word ‘Shiro’ and the other looked like ‘Miyuki’. She was suddenly reminded of her elder siblings whom she left after getting a job at the TSAB. The two passed by and following behind them was the mysterious Captain Lance Valentine. Lance made a gesture to Nanoha to tell her to be careful. Nanoha didn’t understand Terran military hand signs because the mages seldom use hand signs in battle and were never practiced. However when Lance pointed at a building, she vaguely guessed what he meant.
After Big Al entered along with General Alphonse, Nanoha proceeded with her guarding duty. Two Terran troopers came up to her. “Are you Nanoha Takamachi?” one of them asked. Nanoha nodded and saw their name tags. Shiro and Miyuki Takamachi…could it be that the two are her siblings? “Nanoha, it’s us,” the one named Shiro answered. Two of them took of their helmets and there stood two familiar faces. “Shiro nee-san, Miyuki nee-san, it’s you!” Nanoha squealed in delight. She hugged the two of them and the two did like wise. “Nanoha, where were you all these years? We thought you were gone forever,” Miyuki said. “No, I’ve been working here as a combat instructor and now I’m a senior member of the TSAB. What are you two doing here?” she asked.
“We’re secret agents assigned to protect Albert. I told them this armor isn’t really necessary and it’s slowing my movement but the military won’t listen,” Shiro said. “What do you mean?” Nanoha asked. “We are sword fighters and we move at a fast pace so the extra armor is going to weigh us down,” Miyuki said. “Well Nanoha, join us for lunch later and we can talk about the good old times we used to have…though I’m not exactly that old,” said Shiro. The two waved her goodbye and went into the HQ to do internal guarding.
Security was clearly slacking as noon arrived. No one was allowed for any breaks but some still took the chance to nap, flirt, and read magazines or listen to the radio. Subaru and Teana were one of them and Signum did not stop them because she was also resting. “Tia, what do you have in mind?” Subaru asked Teana. “Let’s see…I’m dreaming of a white ice cream,” she sang in parody of a Christmas song. “With some sprinkles that I used to love,” Subaru continued. The two laughed despite the scorching heat. Caro and Erio still stood guard outside the courtyard gates, watching the weather news. “It’s going to be a scorching summer here on Mid-Childa and citizens are looking for a getaway paradise of snow, namely Planet-67 or perhaps the northern tip of Mid-Childa where the Daylson Snow Mountains are located. Air tickets to Daylson have now reduced to 1500 credits and everyone is looking forward to the summer holidays where they can go to a winter paradise. It seems like temperatures have risen to a record breaking 35 degrees and boy is it scorching even with air-conditioners,” the reporter said while wiping her forehead.
“Erio…I feel faint,” Caro groaned before falling. Erio caught her and fanned her with a pocket battery-powered fan. “You really need some rest, Caro. I better get you to a shady area,” he said. Vita was throwing water onto herself to cool her down while Nanoha just fainted onto the ground. “Geez, can’t you stand a little heat?” Vita said. She threw water onto Nanoha’s face and dumped a bucket of ice onto her body. “Man, this weather is worse than that on Earth!” someone yelled. “It’s an urban area, you noob. The buildings here are absorbing the heat and there is nothing you can do about it. So, stop your whining and get your ass off the ground,” another voice sounded.
Vita shook her head and continued pouring water onto herself. Overhead in the skies, Vice was scouting the area along with some Terran gunships. “This is a pretty hot day, don’t you think?” Vice asked through the COM. “Yeah, it’s so hot that I can just melt like a snow man,” one gunship pilot responded. “I could sure use some ice cream or perhaps a day off at the North Pole,” said another. “How about we all go get some ice cream after we’re done with our patrolling?” offered Vice. He heard approvals by the Terran pilots through the COM. It was already 3 p.m. and Vice looked down towards the entrance of the HQ. Good, the talks were finished and that means they can get some good rest after this. “Hey guys, I think we should get our bibs ready because it’s ice cream time!” someone yelled.
Then, it happened. Sniper shots rang everywhere and everyone leapt to their feet. “Assassination!” a soldier yelled and everyone equipped themselves. Big Al heard the shots and quickly took cover behind a trooper with a bullet shield. “They must be after me!” he yelled. General Alphonse tried to spot for the assassins but he could not see anything out of the ordinary. “Shiro, Miyuki, search and destroy!” he said. The two nodded and went out. “Get a grip of yourself, Al. Take this rifle and try defending your own life if we can’t help you. Get ready to head for the troopship,” Alphonse said. More shots rang out and soldiers along with mages were shot in the head. “Where are the snipers you posted, Hayate?!” Alphonse asked aloud while looking at Hayate. “I have them hidden in a nearby building,” she hurriedly explained. “Only one building?” Alphonse asked again. Yes was the reply and that got Alphonse worried.
“They must have killed the snipers in the buildings and took over the place,” said Alphonse. “All gunships in the sky, blast the windows now!” he yelled over the COM. There was no need for that because before the gunships moved, Voltaire appeared and blasted the entire building and destroyed it. “Nice job, Caro,” Erio said. Caro just smiled at Erio. Suddenly, more shots rang out and this time, they were staccatos of assault rifle shots. Erio got a good glimpse of them. The anarchists were fighters in red armor and its design is a cross between a mage’s Barrier Jacket and a Terran’s Nano Armor. They were chanting Belkan slogans that only German soldiers and Belkan historians knew what they were babbling about. Crossfire ensured and both sides were locked in a heated combat, literally. The anarchists also have mages though they use Terran weaponry more often.
“I can’t believe it, how did they learn how to manufacture our weaponry?” one exasperated soldier asked. A missile blew up the troopship just as Big Al almost reached it. “Damn, now there is no way I can return back to Earth!” he said. “Fate.T.Harlaown here, I’m arriving with reinforcements so try to hang on!” a voice sounded through Big Al’s earpiece. Moments later Fate arrived with Altier and a platoon of mages. “This is what I feared most,” Altier mumbled. “Leviathan, let’s go kick some ass,” he said to his device. “Yes sir!” the device replied.
Since there were no tanks, the Terrans relied on the Mid-Childans for fire support. One stray shot hit Nanoha’s left arm but she ignored the pain and continued fighting. “Big Al, over here!” Vita yelled to Albert. She beckoned him to enter Vice’s helicopter which was not far from him. He nodded and ran for it, with a shield trooper covering his side. Once he entered, Vice took of without getting a single shot. “The target is safe!” Vita yelled to Nanoha and Alphonse. After two hours of battle and hundreds of casualties later, the battle stopped. All the anarchists were dead and the survivors were tending to the wounded.
“This is bad but the worse is yet to come,” said Hayate. “A video mail just arrived in my inbox and the leader of the anarchists is called Arin Faustina. She insists that we stand down and prevent further bloodshed by dissolving the current government so they can make way for the next Saint King,” she said grimly. “What if we don’t want to?” asked Nanoha. Hayate gave her a dark look and shook her head. “War is imminent.”
Take up arms, comrade! You'll be the next soldier in line.
I really wouldn't mind doing a lemon about that... hmmmm....

Those last two quotes seem to go together, don't they?

Spoiler for They have insurance for this, right?:
“Um, Elise, not that I don’t trust your judgment… but do you think it’s a good idea for Nanoha to shoot with Raising Heart without something to reinforce the target?”
Elise glanced over her shoulder at Fiasse, who sat on a bench watching the twelve-year-old practice. She’d picked up shooting at an amazingly quick pace, and was chomping at the bit to try using magic with her bullets now that Elise had gotten a report confirming that she was capable of it. Kuon was curled in Fiasse’s lap, purring softly as the golden-haired songstress stroked her back.
“We don’t know her limits until she tries, right?” Elise shrugged, turning back to her charge with arms crossed loosely over her chest. “Besides, the report said she can’t handle half the magic she used to. How bad can it be?”
Fiasse wisely chose not to speak up.
A pink light bathed the room as the magical circle formed beneath Nanoha’s feet; she exhaled softly and opened her eyes, wincing a little as the gun warmed in her hands. “Ready, Raising Heart?” “Whenever you are, my master.”
Nanoha grinned before lifting her voice in a familiar shout.
“Divine Buster!!”
The bullet shot from the gun, a trail of pink sparks flying in its wake; it slammed headlong into the target with all the speed of a missile, shaking the wall to its core.
Elise’s jaw dropped as the bullet drilled through the target and into the wall with a loud THUD, unable to bury itself any further into the thick concrete. Nanoha slowly lowered her gun, wincing slightly as the target crashed to the ground and snapped in half. She looked back nervously at Elise and smiled. “Nyahaha… um… my bad?”
Elise groaned.
“That’s coming out of my paycheck, isn’t it?”
Fiasse laughed quietly.
“Definitely isn’t coming out of mine.”
The phrase "How bad can it be?" is one that should never be asked concerning the concepts of "Takamachi Nanoha" and "property damage." Elise now understands this lesson!
(Since I have a vested interest in seeing you keep progressing with BtBR, I like to see you writing shorts like this, incidentally; I find that doing that kind of thing with regard to my own stories helps to maintain my own interest in things as well as better fleshing out the characters so that I'm more comfortable writing about them in the main-line story.)
It's the auto suggestion and me just not knowing it was wrong
That could explain all the weird word choices I sometimes see in your fics...
So now you know, do be careful when deciding among the choices auto suggestion gives you next time. Do ask Angel to check if you've made wrong word choices elsewhere while betaing.

I'll comment about why Lina is on the set in next part. She was with her parents but just ran off for a moment
Lina should not have been allowed anywhere inside of the studio buildings. Because, if you can be sure about anything about a movie studio (even an AV one), they'll have posters of their productions on the walls for people to see. And you do not want kids to see the posters of these productions.
Perhaps you should consider moving the encounter with Lina to outside the building. That would require reshuffling the timeline, but I strongly feel that's better than letting her run loose inside the studio even briefly.

Angel does a great job on betaing, if I messed up pretty bad, she probably didn't have time to beta that chapter. Each time she does it, I note it at the end. Also remember that none of my post are beta'd

However when Lance pointed at a building, she vaguely guessed what he meant.
After Big Al entered along with General Alphonse, Nanoha proceeded with her guarding duty. Two Terran troopers came up to her. “Are you Nanoha Takamachi?” one of them asked. Nanoha nodded and saw their name tags. Shiro and Miyuki Takamachi…could it be that the two are her siblings? “Nanoha, it’s us,” the one named Shiro answered. Two of them took of their helmets and there stood two familiar faces. “Shiro nee-san, Miyuki nee-san, it’s you!” Nanoha squealed in delight. She hugged the two of them and the two did like wise. “Nanoha, where were you all these years? We thought you were gone forever,” Miyuki said. “No, I’ve been working here as a combat instructor and now I’m a senior member of the TSAB. What are you two doing here?” she asked.
“We’re secret agents assigned to protect Albert. I told them this armor isn’t really necessary and it’s slowing my movement but the military won’t listen,” Shiro said. “What do you mean?” Nanoha asked. “We are sword fighters and we move at a fast pace so the extra armor is going to weigh us down,” Miyuki said. “Well Nanoha, join us for lunch later and we can talk about the good old times we used to have…though I’m not exactly that old,” said Shiro. The two waved her goodbye and went into the HQ to do internal guarding.
Security was clearly slacking as noon arrived. No one was allowed for any breaks but some still took the chance to nap, flirt, and read magazines or listen to the radio. Subaru and Teana were one of them and Signum did not stop them because she was also resting. “Tia, what do you have in mind?” Subaru asked Teana. “Let’s see…I’m dreaming of a white ice cream,” she sang in parody of a Christmas song. “With some sprinkles that I used to love,” Subaru continued. The two laughed despite the scorching heat. Caro and Erio still stood guard outside the courtyard gates, watching the weather news. “It’s going to be a scorching summer here on Mid-Childa and citizens are looking for a getaway paradise of snow, namely Planet-67 or perhaps the northern tip of Mid-Childa where the Daylson Snow Mountains are located. Air tickets to Daylson have now reduced to 1500 credits and everyone is looking forward to the summer holidays where they can go to a winter paradise. It seems like temperatures have risen to a record breaking 35 degrees and boy is it scorching even with air-conditioners,” the reporter said while wiping her forehead.
“Erio…I feel faint,” Caro groaned before falling. Erio caught her and fanned her with a pocket battery-powered fan. “You really need some rest, Caro. I better get you to a shady area,” he said. Vita was throwing water onto herself to cool her down while Nanoha just fainted onto the ground. “Geez, can’t you stand a little heat?” Vita said. She threw water onto Nanoha’s face and dumped a bucket of ice onto her body. “Man, this weather is worse than that on Earth!” someone yelled. “It’s an urban area, you noob. The buildings here are absorbing the heat and there is nothing you can do about it. So, stop your whining and get your ass off the ground,” another voice sounded.
Vita shook her head and continued pouring water onto herself. Overhead in the skies, Vice was scouting the area along with some Terran gunships. “This is a pretty hot day, don’t you think?” Vice asked through the COM. “Yeah, it’s so hot that I can just melt like a snow man,” one gunship pilot responded. “I could sure use some ice cream or perhaps a day off at the North Pole,” said another. “How about we all go get some ice cream after we’re done with our patrolling?” offered Vice. He heard approvals by the Terran pilots through the COM. It was already 3 p.m. and Vice looked down towards the entrance of the HQ. Good, the talks were finished and that means they can get some good rest after this. “Hey guys, I think we should get our bibs ready because it’s ice cream time!” someone yelled.
Then, it happened. Sniper shots rang everywhere and everyone leapt to their feet. “Assassination!” a soldier yelled and everyone equipped themselves. Big Al heard the shots and quickly took cover behind a trooper with a bullet shield. “They must be after me!” he yelled. General Alphonse tried to spot for the assassins but he could not see anything out of the ordinary. “Shiro, Miyuki, search and destroy!” he said. The two nodded and went out. “Get a grip of yourself, Al. Take this rifle and try defending your own life if we can’t help you. Get ready to head for the troopship,” Alphonse said. More shots rang out and soldiers along with mages were shot in the head. “Where are the snipers you posted, Hayate?!” Alphonse asked aloud while looking at Hayate. “I have them hidden in a nearby building,” she hurriedly explained. “Only one building?” Alphonse asked again. Yes was the reply and that got Alphonse worried.
“They must have killed the snipers in the buildings and took over the place,” said Alphonse. “All gunships in the sky, blast the windows now!” he yelled over the COM. There was no need for that because before the gunships moved, Voltaire appeared and blasted the entire building and destroyed it. “Nice job, Caro,” Erio said. Caro just smiled at Erio. Suddenly, more shots rang out and this time, they were staccatos of assault rifle shots. Erio got a good glimpse of them. The anarchists were fighters in red armor and its design is a cross between a mage’s Barrier Jacket and a Terran’s Nano Armor. They were chanting Belkan slogans that only German soldiers and Belkan historians knew what they were babbling about. Crossfire ensured and both sides were locked in a heated combat, literally. The anarchists also have mages though they use Terran weaponry more often.
“I can’t believe it, how did they learn how to manufacture our weaponry?” one exasperated soldier asked. A missile blew up the troopship just as Big Al almost reached it. “Damn, now there is no way I can return back to Earth!” he said. “Fate.T.Harlaown here, I’m arriving with reinforcements so try to hang on!” a voice sounded through Big Al’s earpiece. Moments later Fate arrived with Altier and a platoon of mages. “This is what I feared most,” Altier mumbled. “Leviathan, let’s go kick some ass,” he said to his device. “Yes sir!” the device replied.
Since there were no tanks, the Terrans relied on the Mid-Childans for fire support. One stray shot hit Nanoha’s left arm but she ignored the pain and continued fighting. “Big Al, over here!” Vita yelled to Albert. She beckoned him to enter Vice’s helicopter which was not far from him. He nodded and ran for it, with a shield trooper covering his side. Once he entered, Vice took of without getting a single shot. “The target is safe!” Vita yelled to Nanoha and Alphonse. After two hours of battle and hundreds of casualties later, the battle stopped. All the anarchists were dead and the survivors were tending to the wounded.
“This is bad but the worse is yet to come,” said Hayate. “A video mail just arrived in my inbox and the leader of the anarchists is called Arin Faustina. She insists that we stand down and prevent further bloodshed by dissolving the current government so they can make way for the next Saint King,” she said grimly. “What if we don’t want to?” asked Nanoha. Hayate gave her a dark look and shook her head. “War is imminent.”
Take up arms, comrade! You'll be the next soldier in line.
Looooong chapter
Correct me if I'm wrong, Nanoha's Brothers?
“War is imminent” That phrase is a clasic

Why did I made this?... Just for fun!
Happy Nightmare -vs- Syn
Spoiler for The way to World War Vita:
Who will win? XP
On a random note, Today is a year since I joined Animesuki Forums
Well, Nanoha noob here. I've written fanfiction on and off for a few yuri series. I've been a fan of Nanoha for sometime, but recently I have had the itch to write for it.
I got attacked by a plot bunny in Fon Filia when I made a typo. This was the result. I guess it'd be considered crack. 25 tomorrow x_x;
Spoiler for Granny Christmas Carol:
"Mou, makeup isn't doing it anymore." Nanoha complained again into the mirror. Fate had long since retired, but never let life get her down. Nanoha stayed in the military longer, but they promised to vacation twice a year. Once for them and once for family. This time they would vacation on Earth for Christmas. Vivio had grown up to be quite the catch and it wasn't surprising she'd have kids.
"Aw, but my precious students need me at my best!" She smiled and accented it with a fist jab.
"They need you to be healthy, not young. As I need you to be healthy and not young."
"Mou, I'm still young at heart." Nanoha pouted.
"Yes, you are, now let's get our things together. Christmas wouldn't be the same without those brownies we baked all day. Chrono is waiting as well, and you know how much you love to tease my brother."
Nanoha stuck her tongue out only to get it grabbed. "MAaahahha" Nanoha couldn't laugh, so she just kissed the finger and they were on their way.
Chrono was there with his wife and kids. Nanoha ran up to him and gave him a big hug. "Your hair is splendid today, brother-in-law."
"Your hair dye smells wonderful, sister-in-law." They elbowed each other jokingly.
"Vivio is bringing the kids, hard to believe she'd get five of them." Nanoha's eyes were stars.
"Five? I heard three last time." Amy smiled. Her own kids had grown up, but they were with their own families and friends this year on Midchilda.
"Yeah, this year will be quite a bit of fun. Wish I could keep up with them." Fate laughed, "Its not like training forwards, rugrats take it all out of you."
"I know what you mean," Nanoha nodded and then realized what that could imply, "Ah... I mean... not that." Even the bad memories became good with age.
"It's OK, c'mon." Fate took her arm and they walked to the transporter.
--
Earth was always a great place to raise a family and Japan was dear to Nanoha and Fate's hearts. Vivio could nearly pick any planet she wished within the alliance, but she knew her choice was made for her. The cherry blossoms, the friends and extended family, sake, that is what raising a new family is all about.
Fate opened the door and let Nanoha walk in ahead of her. "We're home!" Nanoha shouted. Her voice was well aged, but always as friendly.
"Gramma!" A few of the older kids ran up to her. Nanoha hugged them one at a time. "Grampa!" They hugged Fate next.
"What?" Fate blinked. Chrono and Amy couldn't stop laughing.
Vivio soon walked over with a kid in her arms sucking a pacifier. "Sorry, Fate-mama, they overheard me on the phone yesterday." Vivio tried to laugh it off incidentally mimicking Nanoha at that moment.
Aww that was cute. I can't believe Vivio has that many kids. I hope to see more of you around.

Vita walked inside the temple, it was dark, like a big vault, Kai grabed a torch who was hanging on the wall, and shaking 2 stones against each other, he set fire on it
"You better find what you are looking quick... this place gives me a bad spine"
"Me too... okay, I'll jus look around and if there isn't nothing who could call my atention, we just leave"
"That's a good idea" Kai added
Vita and Kai started to chek the big hall in wich they were, it looked like a tyoical temple, wall of stone, pillars on the middle holding the roof, all covered with dust and spyderwebs
"There is nothing here that could...!" Vita remained silent when she saw that wall
"What? Is something wrong?" Kai asked, but Vita didn't answered, she remained silent looking at the wall, Kai the reaper aproached with the torch, illuminating the wall to see better, it was a serie of images grabed on the stone
"It's... it's true... I... I have a sister!" Vita said with a tear rolling down her check
"What? What are you saing?"
Vita took the torch from Kai's hands and aproached it to the first image
In it there was some kind of staff, with the image of an eye at it's top, behind the staff there was a city covered with flames
Vita move the torch to the second image
In it, there was an old man speaking to some kind of Dragons
Vita then moved the torch to the third image
In it, at the left corner, an image of a girl with exactly the smae hair style as Vita, but with a strange tatoo on her left arm, and in the other corne, another girl with the same hairstyle, with another tatoo but this one on the right arm
Finally, Vita moved the torch to the fourth image
In this one, the girl who resembled Vita and the other girl who was just like her, were each one holding a sword and runing at the top of a pyramide, at the top of the pyramide, was the same staff of the first image covered with fire
"One... one of these two girls must be me... the other is... is my sister... and... and what is this staff?"
"The Master Light" Kai replied
"What?!" Vita asked because she remembered that Leviathan said something about 'The Master Light'
"The forbidden staff... this thing is the most powerfull lost logia that has ever existed"
"How... powerfull?" Vita asked
"You don't know? The Master Light is the responsable for the destruction of the old Belkan Imperie"
"But... buta what does it have to be with me? Waht is all this? Whar does all this mean?!"
Suddenly, fire set on all the torchs on the hall, the big chamber was now totally illuminated, out of no were, a big group of menas appeared and surrounded Kai and Vita, they were strange warriors with a blue costume ninja-like, they were wearing helmest with a shape who resembled some kind of Dragon, all of the warriors were armed with swords
"Get her!!!" OIne of them screamed and all the attackers charged against Vita and Kai
"What the...?!" Kai pulled out his staff and sword, really quickly and entered in combat with the warriors, Vita grabed Graff Eissen and did the same
"Look! Is she! She's Vita!" One of the warriors screamed
"Do not let her reach the main chamber!" Other one comanded
Vita sumoned her silver balls projectiles and shooted them against the enemies, she meerly hited 2, these guys were really quickly, the released a pair of attacked before jumping away in order to engage combat again
Kai was also having troubles to deal with them, he swinged his staff several times to made them jump away, if he managed to catch one, he quickly cutted his neck with his sword
"Who the hell are these guys?!" Vita asked whil smashing one against the floor, breaking his neck
"I don't know, but they move like assasins!" Kai added protecting himslef from a sword slash
"Behind you!" Vita jumped just over the head of Kai, in order to smash a warrior who was just gonna attack Kai from above
"Thanks" Kai said
"You own me one" Vita sadi, Kai quickly launched his staff against Vita, the weapon passed just at the side of her neck, when Vita turned, she saw that the Staff was impaled on the chest of a warrior who was just behind Vita
"Here you go, my debt is alredy paid" Kai said
After some seconds, all the misterious attackers were alredy dead, Vita put Garff Eissen down and cleaned the blood who was cming out of the bit slash at her check
"It seems that these guys know me... but how could they?" Vita asked
"Worse... it seems that they were waiting for you" Kai said while grabing his staff again
"That's... that's imposible!"
"Yes... it sounds totally ridiculous, but you heared them"
Vita couldn't answer, Kai was right, those warriors called Vita by her name
"Something tells me that our answers are at the main chamber of this Temple" The mage added
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Krimsom Forest
"I won't ask you again! Were is Marksellus?!"
Positron asked one more time about this misterious girl, but Zaphira had no idea of hwat the hell was this guy talking about
"Look, I don't want any trouble, I... I don't even know how I came here in the first place"
"Don't try to make fun of me Tarrephan!" Positron added
"Tarrephan? And what is that?" Zaphira asked, he wasn't sure why but the word "Tarrephan" sounded quite familiar to him
Positron didn't answered, he sumoned a starne light to his hands and he then launched it against Zaphira as a projectile
"AGHHHHH!!!" Zaphira hited the ground, the ligh was electricity and it burned a small poart of the skin on his chest, It hurted like hell
"Maybe this will refresh your ideas Tarrephan, this is your last chance, Were is Marksellus? Were is the mdallion?!"
Zaphira inmediatly standed up and with a jump, he kicked Positron on the chest and launched him against the ground
"Don't take me as a dumb enemy mate!"
"In that case...2 Positron said while standing up "You'll die!"
The craeture sumoned more electricity on his hands and launched it against Zaphira, the wolf evade the attack this time, jumping away and then jumping againt to kick Positron the same way, the creature also blocked the attack this time, managing to grabb Zaphira's leg before he could conect the kick and launching him against a tree
"You are good Tarrephan, but not as good as the prince of the escarbatrons"
Zaphira ignored the words of the 'Escarbatron' and he standed up to conect a hit aginst his foe, Positron blocket the hit with his arms, but the impact was so strong that he was launched away
Angry, Positron standed up and launched another electric projectile against Zaphira, the wolf sumoned a shield to protect himself
"Look... this is ridiculous, I don't even know you!" Zaphira insisted, tring to put an end to the fight
"Save your words for your ancestors when you meet them Tarrephan!" Positron opened his wings, her body got fulled with electricity, starting from hir horn to his feets, he turned himself into a living projectile who charged against Zaphira, the wolf sumonned again his shield, but Positron broke it and smashed his body, Zaphira was launched against a tree and the impact was so strong that the tree was broke in two
"Now... let's put an end to this" Positron raised his hands, in the middle of them, a ball of electricity started to be formed, it started to turn big and big, in less than a minute, it was bigger than Positron
"Die Tarrephan!" Positron yelled
"Sorry... I have thinsg to do better than that" Zaphira inmediatly standed up and conected a hit on Positron's stomach and another one to his ches, the creature was launched against a tree, Zaphira then jumped and with another powerfull hit, he smashed the enormus ball of electricity who was launched against Positron
Zphira falled over one knee, tired for the battle, hurted and shacking, Positron also standed, he look at Zaphira and then he said
"The victory is your Tarrephan... for now, but when we meet agaon on the battlefield, you won't be so lucky" He then jumped between the trees and disapeared in the middle of the green forest
"What... the hell was that?" Zaphira asked to himslef while tring to stand up, but before he could rise his head he felt a strong hit on the back of his head, who made him fall unconcious
Renders
Spoiler for Positron:
Question: Did I alredy posted Positron's render?
Wow, looks like whatever I did to piss off Positron was big, because Zafira got the heat. I'm wondering what a Terrephan is. The temple sounds freaky, it looks like Vita is going to finally discover something. Yes, you did already post Positron's render.

I can see Suzuka being Neptune and Arisa being Uranus, but I think Vivio should be Saturn, I don't know, it just makes more sense to me. Carim is so crackish, that it just might work.

Syn looked around nervously as she was handed a guest ID card to walk around the studio with Vivio. "I feel weird," She whispered to her friend once they were away from the receptionist. "It's like everyone who looks at me wants to bend me over a table and go to town on me."
"As fun as that would be to watch, don't worry about it."
"Wait," Syn cut her off. "You'd like to see that?"
"Hm? Yes, that would be rather erotic." She stuck out her tongue at her friend, not positive if Syn was sure if she was serious or not. "But really, everyone here is professional. They don't need to skirt chase, their job is to have sex." She waved at some of her friends who were walking from a set.
Syn was still looking at her from the corner of her eyes. "Okay, if you say so... It's still a little creepy. Gah, I'm sorry that was rude."
"Syn doesn't think before speaking, I'm used to it by now." Vivio elbowed her playfully before opening the door that had her name on it. "Here's my dressing room. Short tour, there's my couch, my vanity, my shower, and my clothes."
The blue haired girl whistled lightly. "It's huge." The single room was indeed big enough for everything mentioned and still be comfortable to lounge in. "They treat everyone really nice here, huh?"
"Well, the normal ranked people don't have rooms, they just come here, do their thing, and leave."
"So since you're a star you have a room?"
"Well, I have paper work to do and-"
"Whoa, you have paperwork?" Syn blinked.
Vivio looked offended. "Of course! I'm under contract labor, I have to do all my own taxes, sign forms of release for the recordings, schedule my filmings, talk to people, sometimes we have employee cookouts so people gather in my dressing room to hang out in-"
"Okay, I get it." Syn rolled her eyes. "Forgive me for not knowing."
"Well that's why I asked you here." Vivio sniffed at her and crossed her arms.
"Yeah..." Syn sighed. "Sorry, it's just weird knowing that you're about to go and have sex with someone. I'm okay with it, but it's still a little awkward." Before she could go on a knock at their door made them pause. Vivio bid them to come in and before Syn could react, a small child ran past her and hugged Vivio's legs.
"Vivio!" The girl greeted happily as she was holstered up to be balanced on the older woman's hips.
Vivio smiled at the small red haired girl. "Why hello there, Lina."
"Lina!" a new voice coming into the room made everyone look to see a blond haired girl with crystal blue eyes. "Don't run off like that, and use your manors."
Lina pouted slightly. "Yes Mama."
Vivio walked over to the woman and grinned. "Hey Krissy, how're you?"
"Great, we're about to go to Mark's parent's for thanksgiving."
Vivio smiled and pulled Syn over to her with her free hand. "that sounds really wonderful Krissy, I'm going to my girlfriend's place this year. Syn, meet Krisslanza. Krissy, meet Syn."
Syn nodded at her. "Nice to meet you."
"Oh, Syn!" Krisslanza smiled brightly. "Vivio has told us so much about you, it's great to finally meet you!" The blue haired girl blinked. "Oh you are quite a cute little thing! Way to go Vivio!"
"Krissy!" Vivio scolded her, blushing brightly. "Don't tell her that, it's embarrassing." She glanced at Syn lightly and then averted her eyes. Lina decided that she wanted down at that moment so Vivio sat her down onto her feet.
"Hey everyone," A new voice made them look at the door once again, this time seeing a guy.
Krisslanza giggled. "Honey, meet Syn, she's the girl Vivio rants about being head over heels in love with all the time."
"KRISSY!"
Syn felt her lips turn up slightly and nodded at the man walking over to them as he reached down to pick up his daughter and smile brightly at the child. "Nice to meet you."
I like that little outburst about paper work, Syn has a lot to learn about this business. Lol nice, Kriss is in this. Lina seems a bit out of place, but she's there for a reason.

It's crazy. So in celebration, I wrote an equally cracky sequel!
Or maybe it's just the medication from my wisdom-tooth surgery Tuesday talking. That's possible too.
Spoiler for Dating Evil!Fate (wanders into semi-NSFW territory):
"I just can't believe it," Nanoha stammered. Clearly, the Ace of Aces was having difficulty adapting to the idea that her treasured Fate-chan was apparently as much of a Minion of Evil as when they'd met ten years ago. "How did I miss this? Why didn't anybody tell me the TSAB was an oppressive regime ruling the dimensions with an iron fist?"
"We all thought you knew," Fate answered helplessly. "I mean, why else did you think they let me off after my trial without punishment? Good pre-trained recruits are hard to find!"
"But...but...what about when we saved Hayate and stopped the Book of Darkness? Or the whole incident with Jail Scaglietti? I mean, we were heroes...weren't we?"
"Do you realize what letting whole worlds get blown up does to your tax base? What's so heroic about efficient resource management? And...just because we're not nice doesn't mean we're crazy."
"Mou..."
"Should I have Yuuno find you a copy of that Evil Overlord List from the Infinite Library?"
"Fate-chan!" Nanoha wailed.
"Nanoha..." Fate reached out a hand to her, but Nanoha flinched back.
"I...I'm sorry, Fate-chan. I just need some time..."
"I'm still the same person I've always been, Nanoha. I really do love you."
"I know, I just..." She shook her head, then turned and ran off, leaving a stricken Fate standing in the street, staring after her with glistening eyes.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Fate sighed heavily as the door to the apartment she and Nanoha shared slid open. It had been a very long afternoon; reducing one's beloved to tears over lunch could do that to a day. Oddly, she noticed that the lights were on, but dimmed to around thirty percent.
"Nanoha? Are you home?"
"Mmmmf."
The sound was muffled and came from the bedroom. It wasn't a crying-into-the-pillow kind of sound; maybe she'd fallen asleep and Fate's arrival had woken her up. At least she hasn't moved out, Fate thought with relief, and followed the sound. When she reached the door, she stopped in her tracks, mouth sagging open.
Nanoha lay spread-eagled on the bed, the light of the dozen or so candles burning around the room painting her skin bronze. A great deal of that skin was revealed, because all she wore besides a strategically ripped camisole were lengths of crimson silk cord tied in intricate patterns across her body and securing her ankles to the bedposts. The muffled voice had been because she had another length of cord between her teeth; it was tying her wrists together and to the headboard and she was using her mouth to tighten off the last knot.
"N-Nanoha?"
The Ace of Aces gave her head one last twist, pulling the cord tight, then spat it out.
"Hi, Fate-chan!"
"What are you doing?"
Nanoha blinked.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm the innocent maiden kept at the mercy of the cruel Enforcer, who's going to use my nubile young body to satisfy all of her perverse lusts!"
LOL. I love how Nanoha is so shocked. I like how this is what comes to Nanoha's mind. I definitely want a sequel.

Spoiler for They have insurance for this, right?:
“Um, Elise, not that I don’t trust your judgment… but do you think it’s a good idea for Nanoha to shoot with Raising Heart without something to reinforce the target?”
Elise glanced over her shoulder at Fiasse, who sat on a bench watching the twelve-year-old practice. She’d picked up shooting at an amazingly quick pace, and was chomping at the bit to try using magic with her bullets now that Elise had gotten a report confirming that she was capable of it. Kuon was curled in Fiasse’s lap, purring softly as the golden-haired songstress stroked her back.
“We don’t know her limits until she tries, right?” Elise shrugged, turning back to her charge with arms crossed loosely over her chest. “Besides, the report said she can’t handle half the magic she used to. How bad can it be?”
Fiasse wisely chose not to speak up.
A pink light bathed the room as the magical circle formed beneath Nanoha’s feet; she exhaled softly and opened her eyes, wincing a little as the gun warmed in her hands. “Ready, Raising Heart?” “Whenever you are, my master.”
Nanoha grinned before lifting her voice in a familiar shout.
“Divine Buster!!”
The bullet shot from the gun, a trail of pink sparks flying in its wake; it slammed headlong into the target with all the speed of a missile, shaking the wall to its core.
Elise’s jaw dropped as the bullet drilled through the target and into the wall with a loud THUD, unable to bury itself any further into the thick concrete. Nanoha slowly lowered her gun, wincing slightly as the target crashed to the ground and snapped in half. She looked back nervously at Elise and smiled. “Nyahaha… um… my bad?”
Elise groaned.
“That’s coming out of my paycheck, isn’t it?”
Fiasse laughed quietly.
“Definitely isn’t coming out of mine.”
Haha, very cute and funny. Lesson learned: Don't underestimate Nanoha's firepower.

Albert Kipper, better known as Big Al, was sitting in his troopship alongside with General Alphonse Jericho, the general in charge of initiating the orbital platform project. The troopship plunged into the atmosphere of Mid-Childa, ionization building up outside of the troopship. “Alphonse, after today, what say we go get some grub at the local café? I’ve never tried their food before,” Big Al said. Alphonse nodded but remained silent, his face was serious and grim. He combed back his white hair and reloaded his handgun.
“Maybe you should stop thinking about food for once, Albert Fatso. We’re here for an important project, not to eat at a buffet,” Alphonse said. “Don’t be such a sour puss, Alphonse. Even we need some rest once in a while,” Big Al said. Albert came from a medium class family while Alphonse was once a poor farm boy. Albert took the best out of life and that attributed to his cheerfulness while hard work and surviving in a competitive society made Alphonse a man suitable for being a general. Albert was a good negotiator and it is because of him that he persuaded the Mid-Childans to agree with the defense project.
They were friends since high school at Texas, USA. Albert was always the one persuading people to make friends with Alphonse and comforting him while Alphonse was Albert’s protector from bullies as he was strong. However as years went by, they rarely saw each other until now. Albert was happy to see him and so was Alphonse but he never showed any emotions. The troopship landed in front of the Capital Defense HQ and the compartment door opened. Guards on both sides of the ship saluted with the Mid-Childan officers waiting at the very end of the line, which was the entrance of the building. “Well then Alphonse, you do the speaking while I back you up if you need any help. Don’t sweat it, you can do it,” said Albert with a smile. Alphonse returned his smile with a rare smile of his. He rarely cracked a smile.
From afar, Signum was leading a group of security personnel in a guarding duty. She stopped to see the Primary Defense Minister and watch him follow a man in front of him. Signum gave a short laugh after seeing a man that fat. “I heard he was fat but not that fat,” she said to herself. She saw light flares coming from nearby buildings. There were Terran and Mid-Childan snipers posted in the buildings as ordered by Hayate. Signum didn’t understand why Hayate asked for the extra security but she dared not question her. Maybe she had her reasons. “Signum,” someone called out. Turning around, she saw Vita with Caro and Erio. “These two are still not sure where should they be posted,” Vita said. Signum pointed at the entrance of the HQ courtyard. “You two were supposed to be there 10 minutes ago,” Signum said sternly.
“Sorry, Miss Signum. Caro woke up late and I had to wait for her,” explained Erio, his voice deeper than it was when he was younger. “Yeah well, I don’t take excuses so go man your posts,” said Signum. The two saluted and went off. Just then, Nanoha came running by. “Sorry I’m late guys, did I miss anything?” she asked. “That Fat Al just arrived and Miss Hayate just posted snipers on every building. The death threat seems moot and no one seems to be attempting to assassinate him,” said Signum. “Whatever it is, she has her reasons and I’m sure it’s a good one,” Vita said.
Turning to Nanoha, Vita smiled at her. “What did you do last night?” she asked. “I…uh, got into a fight,” Nanoha said. “No, I mean after you went to bed,” Vita said. Nanoha shrugged and said nothing. “Uh…look, it’s private so I’m not telling,” Nanoha said with a blush. She quickly went towards the HQ entrance and stood her post. “Heh, that was a big reaction from her,” Vita said with a satisfied smile. “Speaking of big reaction, what were you doing at Altier’s house yesterday?” Signum asked. Vita’s face became redder than Nanoha’s. “I get it; you were doing that ‘thing’ with him, didn’t you? Vita, someone is not gonna be pleased besides Miss Hayate. A certain someone reading this now is gonna get sad,” Signum said. “Hey, I did nothing with Altier and I’m not dating him! He just asked me over for dinner!” Vita yelled at Signum. “Now who has the big reaction?” Signum smiled.
Nanoha saluted as Big Al passed by. Two of the troops following behind looked at Nanoha and whispered something to each other. At that very moment, Nanoha thought she saw familiar names on the two troopers’ name tags. One looked like it had the word ‘Shiro’ and the other looked like ‘Miyuki’. She was suddenly reminded of her elder siblings whom she left after getting a job at the TSAB. The two passed by and following behind them was the mysterious Captain Lance Valentine. Lance made a gesture to Nanoha to tell her to be careful. Nanoha didn’t understand Terran military hand signs because the mages seldom use hand signs in battle and were never practiced. However when Lance pointed at a building, she vaguely guessed what he meant.
After Big Al entered along with General Alphonse, Nanoha proceeded with her guarding duty. Two Terran troopers came up to her. “Are you Nanoha Takamachi?” one of them asked. Nanoha nodded and saw their name tags. Shiro and Miyuki Takamachi…could it be that the two are her siblings? “Nanoha, it’s us,” the one named Shiro answered. Two of them took of their helmets and there stood two familiar faces. “Shiro nee-san, Miyuki nee-san, it’s you!” Nanoha squealed in delight. She hugged the two of them and the two did like wise. “Nanoha, where were you all these years? We thought you were gone forever,” Miyuki said. “No, I’ve been working here as a combat instructor and now I’m a senior member of the TSAB. What are you two doing here?” she asked.
“We’re secret agents assigned to protect Albert. I told them this armor isn’t really necessary and it’s slowing my movement but the military won’t listen,” Shiro said. “What do you mean?” Nanoha asked. “We are sword fighters and we move at a fast pace so the extra armor is going to weigh us down,” Miyuki said. “Well Nanoha, join us for lunch later and we can talk about the good old times we used to have…though I’m not exactly that old,” said Shiro. The two waved her goodbye and went into the HQ to do internal guarding.
Security was clearly slacking as noon arrived. No one was allowed for any breaks but some still took the chance to nap, flirt, and read magazines or listen to the radio. Subaru and Teana were one of them and Signum did not stop them because she was also resting. “Tia, what do you have in mind?” Subaru asked Teana. “Let’s see…I’m dreaming of a white ice cream,” she sang in parody of a Christmas song. “With some sprinkles that I used to love,” Subaru continued. The two laughed despite the scorching heat. Caro and Erio still stood guard outside the courtyard gates, watching the weather news. “It’s going to be a scorching summer here on Mid-Childa and citizens are looking for a getaway paradise of snow, namely Planet-67 or perhaps the northern tip of Mid-Childa where the Daylson Snow Mountains are located. Air tickets to Daylson have now reduced to 1500 credits and everyone is looking forward to the summer holidays where they can go to a winter paradise. It seems like temperatures have risen to a record breaking 35 degrees and boy is it scorching even with air-conditioners,” the reporter said while wiping her forehead.
“Erio…I feel faint,” Caro groaned before falling. Erio caught her and fanned her with a pocket battery-powered fan. “You really need some rest, Caro. I better get you to a shady area,” he said. Vita was throwing water onto herself to cool her down while Nanoha just fainted onto the ground. “Geez, can’t you stand a little heat?” Vita said. She threw water onto Nanoha’s face and dumped a bucket of ice onto her body. “Man, this weather is worse than that on Earth!” someone yelled. “It’s an urban area, you noob. The buildings here are absorbing the heat and there is nothing you can do about it. So, stop your whining and get your ass off the ground,” another voice sounded.
Vita shook her head and continued pouring water onto herself. Overhead in the skies, Vice was scouting the area along with some Terran gunships. “This is a pretty hot day, don’t you think?” Vice asked through the COM. “Yeah, it’s so hot that I can just melt like a snow man,” one gunship pilot responded. “I could sure use some ice cream or perhaps a day off at the North Pole,” said another. “How about we all go get some ice cream after we’re done with our patrolling?” offered Vice. He heard approvals by the Terran pilots through the COM. It was already 3 p.m. and Vice looked down towards the entrance of the HQ. Good, the talks were finished and that means they can get some good rest after this. “Hey guys, I think we should get our bibs ready because it’s ice cream time!” someone yelled.
Then, it happened. Sniper shots rang everywhere and everyone leapt to their feet. “Assassination!” a soldier yelled and everyone equipped themselves. Big Al heard the shots and quickly took cover behind a trooper with a bullet shield. “They must be after me!” he yelled. General Alphonse tried to spot for the assassins but he could not see anything out of the ordinary. “Shiro, Miyuki, search and destroy!” he said. The two nodded and went out. “Get a grip of yourself, Al. Take this rifle and try defending your own life if we can’t help you. Get ready to head for the troopship,” Alphonse said. More shots rang out and soldiers along with mages were shot in the head. “Where are the snipers you posted, Hayate?!” Alphonse asked aloud while looking at Hayate. “I have them hidden in a nearby building,” she hurriedly explained. “Only one building?” Alphonse asked again. Yes was the reply and that got Alphonse worried.
“They must have killed the snipers in the buildings and took over the place,” said Alphonse. “All gunships in the sky, blast the windows now!” he yelled over the COM. There was no need for that because before the gunships moved, Voltaire appeared and blasted the entire building and destroyed it. “Nice job, Caro,” Erio said. Caro just smiled at Erio. Suddenly, more shots rang out and this time, they were staccatos of assault rifle shots. Erio got a good glimpse of them. The anarchists were fighters in red armor and its design is a cross between a mage’s Barrier Jacket and a Terran’s Nano Armor. They were chanting Belkan slogans that only German soldiers and Belkan historians knew what they were babbling about. Crossfire ensured and both sides were locked in a heated combat, literally. The anarchists also have mages though they use Terran weaponry more often.
“I can’t believe it, how did they learn how to manufacture our weaponry?” one exasperated soldier asked. A missile blew up the troopship just as Big Al almost reached it. “Damn, now there is no way I can return back to Earth!” he said. “Fate.T.Harlaown here, I’m arriving with reinforcements so try to hang on!” a voice sounded through Big Al’s earpiece. Moments later Fate arrived with Altier and a platoon of mages. “This is what I feared most,” Altier mumbled. “Leviathan, let’s go kick some ass,” he said to his device. “Yes sir!” the device replied.
Since there were no tanks, the Terrans relied on the Mid-Childans for fire support. One stray shot hit Nanoha’s left arm but she ignored the pain and continued fighting. “Big Al, over here!” Vita yelled to Albert. She beckoned him to enter Vice’s helicopter which was not far from him. He nodded and ran for it, with a shield trooper covering his side. Once he entered, Vice took of without getting a single shot. “The target is safe!” Vita yelled to Nanoha and Alphonse. After two hours of battle and hundreds of casualties later, the battle stopped. All the anarchists were dead and the survivors were tending to the wounded.
“This is bad but the worse is yet to come,” said Hayate. “A video mail just arrived in my inbox and the leader of the anarchists is called Arin Faustina. She insists that we stand down and prevent further bloodshed by dissolving the current government so they can make way for the next Saint King,” she said grimly. “What if we don’t want to?” asked Nanoha. Hayate gave her a dark look and shook her head. “War is imminent.”
Take up arms, comrade! You'll be the next soldier in line.
The beginning was a little confusing because both names started with "Al". That whole thing about the weather being hot seemed like a random filler. Oh yeah, Nanoha's siblings names are Kyouya and Miyuki not Shiro and Miyuki. Shiro is her father. Calling him Shiro nee-san is wrong too, that means sister. You can say nii-chan... I think. That battle though was pretty intense. Last line is pretty ominous.
@EvilRick: That picture is pretty epic. I'm sure that Syn will win. Yay for a year at AS!
Vivio pushed up her glasses lightly on her nose and began flipping through the papers in front of herself. “Okay let's see... Here,” She showed Syn a sheet and scooted closer to her. “Right here, this is my basic 'will do' list. It says...well, what I'm comfortable with doing. I can edit it once or twice during my contract but this really outlines my upcoming work. The less I have on here, the less money I will bring in. I need to be lenient with it.”
Syn nodded and looked at the list and the check marks next to the words. “Um, what's this mean?” She pointed and got a small giggle along with the answer. “Oh, okay...” she fidgeted in her seat.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“... A little but not bad. I'm just... you know, saying that my girlfriend will be doing this stuff. It's kind of weird more than being upset.”
Vivio nodded in understanding. “Would you feel more comfortable with it if you saw me doing it?” She got blinked at. “I have my videos, I can show them to you. You watched a few didn't you?”
“Just your solo scenes and webcam recordings.” Syn gave her a light lopsided smile. “I'm comfortable with it, just still weird to me. Anyway, let's see... Strip clubs?”
“Like I was at the other night.”
“... Okay, what's 'advertising' consist of?”
“Being recorded using things for new items or wearing something for a photo shoot. Like if a company released a new line of fetish clothing they would ask me to model in it. That will more than likely be a sex scene that's photographed, just so you know.”
“You're okay with that?”
Vivio shrugged. “Part of the job. No difference in that and being filmed in video.”
“Okay, I guess that's true...What's this mean?” She pointed to another line.
“I said no, so don't worry about it.” Vivio stuck out her tongue and got a giggle.
“You're so calm and easy going about this...”
“I hope you will be later on as well.”
“... What's away 'entertaining'?”
“If I go on the road somewhere to meet some important people, I would 'service' them sexually.”
“Is that legal?”
“That's why it's called servicing. It implied bringing them drinks, talking, entertaining and the like, but you really know what it means.”
“Basically it means they'll send you to seal deals? You're okay with that?”
“I will entertain them, it doesn't mean I will do sexual things. If I'm advertising a new sex toy and they want to watch me use it, I don't mind. I'll say no if I don't want to do something... I'll probably be wearing nothing or sexy lingerie though. That okay?”
“Well, I trust your judgment...” Her words trailed off as she thought about what she just said. “Yeah... Yeah, you know what?”
“What?”
“I trust you.” Syn handed the papers back to Vivio. “Do what you do, I'll support you.”
Vivio looked at her for a few moments before she leaned forward and hugged her. “That's the best thing you could say to me.” She got and amused pat on the back and squeezed her one more time before pulling away. “Well then, is there anything you want to ask about?”
“What's different about this and what you do now?”
“Basically more work. I will go around promoting things, do more videos, guest star on other company's videos, and the like. I've already got almost three hundred subscribers to my webpage now, it went up dramatically since my last video.”
Syn nodded and could tell that her girlfriend was proud. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you. Ohhhh, so much to think about now.” Vivio quickly began flipping through the contents of the folder and signing her name to them. “I can't wait to get started!”
“You can't wait to have sex?”
Vivio stuck out her tongue. “Let me see your computer.” The request gained her Syn's laptop after a few moments of waiting for it to be brought to her. “Here, this is your user name and password to my website. I'll save it for you.”
Syn shook her head. “Why do I need that, I have the real thing here.” She wrapped her arms around Vivio and looked over her shoulder at the page. This time she didn't feel her stomach turn but instead felt a small sense of satisfaction that her girlfriend was doing so well in her life all of a sudden. “Hey...” Her arms tightened lightly and she nipped at Vivio's neck. “How about you give me some time right now?”
“Three hundred dollars for the first hour.” Vivio told her casually while closing the laptop. “Just kidding.” She kissed Syn's cheek. “Later, I need to do something first.”
“What?” The blue haired one frowned when Vivio stood up.
“Clean your apartment, it's a mess in here.” She went to the kitchen area and lifted up a plate laying on the counter, grimacing as long stands of left over food stuck it to the platter underneath it. “Where are your cleaning supplies?”
“Don't I have a say in this?” Syn countered her.
“No.” Vivio smiled and looked over at the girl walking to her. “Mou, Syn, you're still so touchy.” She blushed as hands slipped under her shirt and body made her take a few steps backwards to lean against the wall. “Ngghhnn... Let me clean first.”
“I'm jealous,” Syn whispered to her, trying to get the girl's pants unbuttoned. “They get to see you do their wildest dreams and all I got was a lap dance that drove me crazy all night long.”
“Mou, okay...” Vivio grabbed Syn's shoulders and pushed her back until she fell down onto her bed. “But we do it my way.” She smirked and turned on Syn's radio. The station was changed until she found a suitable song to dance to and she smiled at her eager looking girlfriend. “This is a special case, because I'm happy.” She informed her as her hips swayed to the music. “But since I'm working on my time off, you have to as well.”
“What do you mean?” Syn watched the blond move.
“You're cooking me dinner.” Slowly she pulled off her shirt and dropped it onto the floor to show a simple white bra. Syn's hands went up to touch her but were quickly and gently slapped away. “No touching until I say you can.” A cat like grin spread over her face as her already unbuttoned pants fell to the floor to show white stockings, garter belt, and panties. One hand went up behind her head and the other rested on her hip to pose. “Like?”
“Very.” Very breathed out as she was straddled and rubbed on. “Can I touch...?”
Vivio breathed into Syn's ear and spoke into it huskily, suddenly grinding her body against hers. “No...” She licked her earlobe and sucked on it, pinning Syn's hands to the bed.
~**~
Syn answered her phone quickly, flipping it open so the ring tone wouldn't wake up the girl sleeping on her bed. Although her treat had lasted the better part of half an hour, she felt rather flustered that she wasn't allowed to touch her not even once during it but at the same time knew that Vivio was just teasing her. “Hi mom,” she greeted the phone contently. “Hm? I'm not doing anything... No, Vivio is taking a nap, she stayed up really late. I'll have to talk quietly.” She paused and sat down next to her girlfriend, who was sleeping peacefully. “Thanksgiving? Sure I'll come. Never pass up free food that you don't have to cook... I don't think she is doing anything, no.” Syn smiled fondly. “I'd love to invite her to come over to meet you and dad.” Her hands threaded through the blond's hair and she had to repress a giggle when the girl didn't even stir from the motion. “Who else is going to be there?” Syn pulled the covers over Vivio's body so she wouldn't catch a cold. “Oh, some important people? Sounds neat, I'd like to meet them. What division are they in?” Syn smiled down at her girlfriend while listening. “Sixth mobile Division, what a bland name.” She laughed softly. “Go ahead and make plans for us to be there, I'll invite her when she wakes up.”
Spoiler for PornStar!Vivio pt.51:
~**~
Vivio slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes, inhaling a pleasant scent through her nose. Syn had her back turned to the girl and was busy cooking, humming to herself as she stirred the contents of something that Vivio couldn't see. Red and green eyes looked around to find her earlier disregarded clothing during her lap dance and put them on as quietly as she could to avoid the embarrassment of having Syn see her naked again. Once covered she walked to the kitchen area and was smiled at. "Hey," Vivio yawned out the word before wrapping her arms around her girlfriend from behind. "How long did I sleep?"
"Almost three hours." Syn put a cover on her skillet and leaned back against Vivio's chest. "Hey, what are you doing for thanksgiving?"
"I have a shoot tonight for my webpage, but I can set it to automatically update on the day itself so nothing really."
"A Thanksgiving special?" Syn almost laughed. "What, are they going to stuff you or something?"
"Yes, with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, salad-" She stopped her joking when Syn did start laughing at her. "But really, it's nothing big, shouldn't take more than an hour to shoot it."
"What are you going to do?"
"Want to come watch?" Vivio hugged her. "It may be a bit much, but you can meet some of my friends before we do the shoot."
"I'll go meet your friends, I don't know about watching." Syn patted Vivio's hands. "I'll watch the recording of it with you okay?"
"That's fine, you can stay in my dressing room while we shoot it, I have a TV in there." Vivio nodded to herself. "Oh, why did you ask anyway?"
"My mom and dad want to meet you." Syn gripped the skillet in front of herself with one hand and took the lid off with the other so she could flip the contents around. "I'd really like it if you came to my home for Thanksgiving?"
"Oh wow... okay, I'm a bit nervous though... who will be there? Am I going to meet all of your family?"
"No, just my parents and a few higher-ups from their work that they are friends with. Something about a gathering of friends that they haven't seen in a while and all that. I won't know them either so we can just stick together off to the side."
"Okay, that's good." Vivio kissed Syn's cheek. "When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow, so we can drive down there and be in time for dinner, then thanksgiving day after, stay that night, and come back. Is that too long?"
"No, I can go a while without updating my page since I'm doing that one tonight." She smiled happily. "I'm looking forward to it."
Spoiler for PornStar!Vivio Pt.52:
~**~
Syn looked around nervously as she was handed a guest ID card to walk around the studio with Vivio. "I feel weird," She whispered to her friend once they were away from the receptionist. "It's like everyone who looks at me wants to bend me over a table and go to town on me."
"As fun as that would be to watch, don't worry about it."
"Wait," Syn cut her off. "You'd like to see that?"
"Hm? Yes, that would be rather erotic." She stuck out her tongue at her friend, not positive if Syn was sure if she was serious or not. "But really, everyone here is professional. They don't need to skirt chase, their job is to have sex." She waved at some of her friends who were walking from a set.
Syn was still looking at her from the corner of her eyes. "Okay, if you say so... It's still a little creepy. Gah, I'm sorry that was rude."
"Syn doesn't think before speaking, I'm used to it by now." Vivio elbowed her playfully before opening the door that had her name on it. "Here's my dressing room. Short tour, there's my couch, my vanity, my shower, and my clothes."
The blue haired girl whistled lightly. "It's huge." The single room was indeed big enough for everything mentioned and still be comfortable to lounge in. "They treat everyone really nice here, huh?"
"Well, the normal ranked people don't have rooms, they just come here, do their thing, and leave."
"So since you're a star you have a room?"
"Well, I have paper work to do and-"
"Whoa, you have paperwork?" Syn blinked.
Vivio looked offended. "Of course! I'm under contract labor, I have to do all my own taxes, sign forms of release for the recordings, schedule my filmings, talk to people, sometimes we have employee cookouts so people gather in my dressing room to hang out in-"
"Okay, I get it." Syn rolled her eyes. "Forgive me for not knowing."
"Well that's why I asked you here." Vivio sniffed at her and crossed her arms.
"Yeah..." Syn sighed. "Sorry, it's just weird knowing that you're about to go and have sex with someone. I'm okay with it, but it's still a little awkward." Before she could go on a knock at their door made them pause. Vivio bid them to come in and before Syn could react, a small child ran past her and hugged Vivio's legs.
"Vivio!" The girl greeted happily as she was holstered up to be balanced on the older woman's hips.
Vivio smiled at the small red haired girl. "Why hello there, Lina."
"Lina!" a new voice coming into the room made everyone look to see a blond haired girl with crystal blue eyes. "Don't run off like that, and use your manors."
Lina pouted slightly. "Yes Mama."
Vivio walked over to the woman and grinned. "Hey Krissy, how're you?"
"Great, we're about to go to Mark's parent's for thanksgiving."
Vivio smiled and pulled Syn over to her with her free hand. "that sounds really wonderful Krissy, I'm going to my girlfriend's place this year. Syn, meet Krisslanza. Krissy, meet Syn."
Syn nodded at her. "Nice to meet you."
"Oh, Syn!" Krisslanza smiled brightly. "Vivio has told us so much about you, it's great to finally meet you!" The blue haired girl blinked. "Oh you are quite a cute little thing! Way to go Vivio!"
"Krissy!" Vivio scolded her, blushing brightly. "Don't tell her that, it's embarrassing." She glanced at Syn lightly and then averted her eyes. Lina decided that she wanted down at that moment so Vivio sat her down onto her feet.
"Hey everyone," A new voice made them look at the door once again, this time seeing a guy.
Krisslanza giggled. "Honey, meet Syn, she's the girl Vivio rants about being head over heels in love with all the time."
"KRISSY!"
Syn felt her lips turn up slightly and nodded at the man walking over to them as he reached down to pick up his daughter and smile brightly at the child. "Nice to meet you."
Spoiler for PornStar!Vivio pt.53:
Vivio stood closer to Syn to introduce them. "Syn, this is Mark, he's the one I'm going to be filming with today."
"Oh." Syn nodded again and watched Mark talking with his daughter.
Krisslanza nodded to confirm it before turning to Vivio again. "Vivio, would you mind if I watched after Lina in your dressing room? The day care is closed for the thanksgiving weekend already and I need to get back to my job soon, I'm on my dinner break."
"Sure! Syn is going to be in here too so you can get to know each other." She looked at the still open door when someone poked his head in to speak with them.
"Guys, set two is ready. Eyes, please change into your outfit, it's on your vanity." With that the man left them once more to continue his rounds.
Mark waved at them after swapping his daughter back to her mother once more. "I'll see you then, Eyes." He left the three girls as well and closed the door behind him.
Vivio walked to her vanity and opened the box, pulling out a black skirt and a matching 'buisness woman' top. "Seems like I'm going for the secretary look today." She began changing clothes while Syn watched her curiously. "Are you positive you don't want to watch, Honey?"
Syn shook her head. "No thank you. You go do your thing and I'll be here when you get back." Vivio finished changing and hung up her casual clothes. On the way out she kissed Syn's cheek and smiled at her one last time before hurrying out of the room. Once the door was closed again the blue haired girl looked over at the mother/daughter combo sitting in front of the now turned on Television. "So, you known Vivio a while?"
Krisslanza nodded and left the channel on something her daughter would like. "I met her a few years ago while I was waiting on Mark to finish a scene. I was talking about how hard one of my college classes was after the shoot and she overheard me. After a while she offered her help with it because she seemed to know a lot about the subject. After that we ate lunch together and really hit it off. Poor thing was so scared about her new job and didn't know anything about it so I kind of explained how it worked. Although I'm not into the business, my husband is so I knew enough."
"Was it hard for you to accept it all?" Syn sat down next to her and looked down at the quiet child watching cartoons. "Sorry this must be weird."
"Oh no, you're going through the same thing I did." Krisslanza smiled at her happily. "No, it was really hard at first. But you have to separate work from home. I'm sure Vivio has talked to you about that?" She got a nod. "Mark loves me more than anyone else in the world." She fondly touched her wedding band. "His work doesn't mean anything, it's just what he does. Same with Vivio. Did you know she refused to work for almost a month when you two broke up?"
Syn flinched. "Really?"
"Mmhmm, she came to work to try to but she ended up staying in her dressing room crying. I talked to her a while to help her through it and she eventually got better. you have no idea how much she talks about you. Can't shut her up."
Syn felt a small smile tug at her lips. "That's interesting, what does she say?"
I was going to reply to your previous post when you posted your latest chapter, rendering my reply redundant. But there's new things to talk about!

Given that this studio wasn't her first stint with a prono producer by then, I doubt her expression would be scared. Either she would hide it under a poker face, or - my impression from what she said to Syn before - she would feel resigned to her fate.

Syn does need talks like this to proceed with her relationship with Vivio, lots more. I'm curious, have you done any research into the issue for this fic? You're dealing extremely mature issues here and you could write with confidence if you did.

Has it been that long since they broke up, then got back together? Maybe I somehow overlooked them, but I missed any time references since the breakup. I completely didn't realize months had already passed between ch29 and here, it felt like weeks, tops. If you didn't have any, you should add some when there's a significant time-gap between chapters.
Quote:

Oookay, if Vivio's been blabbing that much, then it's certain that the gossip papers already know about Syn being her girlfriend. In fact, if she's been blabbing that much, it's surprising no one blurted to Syn that she was dating a pornstar even before ch29.
Solid chapter as usual. For me, the attraction of your works has always been passion. You're at your best when making the characters feel emotions. Keep it up!
Looks like another word choice error. I suggest "look after" instead. "watched after" doesn't exist.
I thought it sounded okay... must be my dialect from the south showing through >.<

Well, Vivio wasn't in a "adult film entertainment" studio, she was paid to be recorded for some local guys. Maybe I should change that when I re-do the story to make it more clear.

Yup, I researched a lot! I read a few "Diary of porn stars" and stuff. I don't plan out what I write much, but I have a general idea and then review it so I can make it right. Like how much a girl makes in the "champagne room" how much they make for scenes, how they manage their webpages, relationship issues, ect.

Has it been that long since they broke up, then got back together? Maybe I somehow overlooked them, but I missed any time references since the breakup. I completely didn't realize months had already passed between ch29 and here, it felt like weeks, tops. If you didn't have any, you should add some when there's a significant time-gap between chapters.
A month and a half passed since they broke up and got back togehter. Almost two weeks of that, Vivio was floored with the flu. I think that was stated in the little shorts bouncing between the two.

Oookay, if Vivio's been blabbing that much, then it's certain that the gossip papers already know about Syn being her girlfriend. In fact, if she's been blabbing that much, it's surprising no one blurted to Syn that she was dating a pornstar even before ch29.
She even told her video diary and updated webpage that she was dating someone. She just never said "Syn Virage". Just as some people call Vivio "Eyes" and some call her "Vivio"..... or how some people call her "Hayate" (oooh foreshadowing!)

Solid chapter as usual. For me, the attraction of your works has always been passion. You're at your best when making the characters feel emotions. Keep it up!
Thanks! The constructive reviews from you help a lot ^_^ I'm glad you can point out my constant errors and such, I really apreciate things like that ^_^ keep it up please!
Vivio pushed up her glasses lightly on her nose and began flipping through the papers in front of herself. “Okay let's see... Here,” She showed Syn a sheet and scooted closer to her. “Right here, this is my basic 'will do' list. It says...well, what I'm comfortable with doing. I can edit it once or twice during my contract but this really outlines my upcoming work. The less I have on here, the less money I will bring in. I need to be lenient with it.”
Syn nodded and looked at the list and the check marks next to the words. “Um, what's this mean?” She pointed and got a small giggle along with the answer. “Oh, okay...” she fidgeted in her seat.
“Are you uncomfortable?”
“... A little but not bad. I'm just... you know, saying that my girlfriend will be doing this stuff. It's kind of weird more than being upset.”
Vivio nodded in understanding. “Would you feel more comfortable with it if you saw me doing it?” She got blinked at. “I have my videos, I can show them to you. You watched a few didn't you?”
“Just your solo scenes and webcam recordings.” Syn gave her a light lopsided smile. “I'm comfortable with it, just still weird to me. Anyway, let's see... Strip clubs?”
“Like I was at the other night.”
“... Okay, what's 'advertising' consist of?”
“Being recorded using things for new items or wearing something for a photo shoot. Like if a company released a new line of fetish clothing they would ask me to model in it. That will more than likely be a sex scene that's photographed, just so you know.”
“You're okay with that?”
Vivio shrugged. “Part of the job. No difference in that and being filmed in video.”
“Okay, I guess that's true...What's this mean?” She pointed to another line.
“I said no, so don't worry about it.” Vivio stuck out her tongue and got a giggle.
“You're so calm and easy going about this...”
“I hope you will be later on as well.”
“... What's away 'entertaining'?”
“If I go on the road somewhere to meet some important people, I would 'service' them sexually.”
“Is that legal?”
“That's why it's called servicing. It implied bringing them drinks, talking, entertaining and the like, but you really know what it means.”
“Basically it means they'll send you to seal deals? You're okay with that?”
“I will entertain them, it doesn't mean I will do sexual things. If I'm advertising a new sex toy and they want to watch me use it, I don't mind. I'll say no if I don't want to do something... I'll probably be wearing nothing or sexy lingerie though. That okay?”
“Well, I trust your judgment...” Her words trailed off as she thought about what she just said. “Yeah... Yeah, you know what?”
“What?”
“I trust you.” Syn handed the papers back to Vivio. “Do what you do, I'll support you.”
Vivio looked at her for a few moments before she leaned forward and hugged her. “That's the best thing you could say to me.” She got and amused pat on the back and squeezed her one more time before pulling away. “Well then, is there anything you want to ask about?”
“What's different about this and what you do now?”
“Basically more work. I will go around promoting things, do more videos, guest star on other company's videos, and the like. I've already got almost three hundred subscribers to my webpage now, it went up dramatically since my last video.”
Syn nodded and could tell that her girlfriend was proud. “Congratulations.”
“Thank you. Ohhhh, so much to think about now.” Vivio quickly began flipping through the contents of the folder and signing her name to them. “I can't wait to get started!”
“You can't wait to have sex?”
Vivio stuck out her tongue. “Let me see your computer.” The request gained her Syn's laptop after a few moments of waiting for it to be brought to her. “Here, this is your user name and password to my website. I'll save it for you.”
Syn shook her head. “Why do I need that, I have the real thing here.” She wrapped her arms around Vivio and looked over her shoulder at the page. This time she didn't feel her stomach turn but instead felt a small sense of satisfaction that her girlfriend was doing so well in her life all of a sudden. “Hey...” Her arms tightened lightly and she nipped at Vivio's neck. “How about you give me some time right now?”
“Three hundred dollars for the first hour.” Vivio told her casually while closing the laptop. “Just kidding.” She kissed Syn's cheek. “Later, I need to do something first.”
“What?” The blue haired one frowned when Vivio stood up.
“Clean your apartment, it's a mess in here.” She went to the kitchen area and lifted up a plate laying on the counter, grimacing as long stands of left over food stuck it to the platter underneath it. “Where are your cleaning supplies?”
“Don't I have a say in this?” Syn countered her.
“No.” Vivio smiled and looked over at the girl walking to her. “Mou, Syn, you're still so touchy.” She blushed as hands slipped under her shirt and body made her take a few steps backwards to lean against the wall. “Ngghhnn... Let me clean first.”
“I'm jealous,” Syn whispered to her, trying to get the girl's pants unbuttoned. “They get to see you do their wildest dreams and all I got was a lap dance that drove me crazy all night long.”
“Mou, okay...” Vivio grabbed Syn's shoulders and pushed her back until she fell down onto her bed. “But we do it my way.” She smirked and turned on Syn's radio. The station was changed until she found a suitable song to dance to and she smiled at her eager looking girlfriend. “This is a special case, because I'm happy.” She informed her as her hips swayed to the music. “But since I'm working on my time off, you have to as well.”
“What do you mean?” Syn watched the blond move.
“You're cooking me dinner.” Slowly she pulled off her shirt and dropped it onto the floor to show a simple white bra. Syn's hands went up to touch her but were quickly and gently slapped away. “No touching until I say you can.” A cat like grin spread over her face as her already unbuttoned pants fell to the floor to show white stockings, garter belt, and panties. One hand went up behind her head and the other rested on her hip to pose. “Like?”
“Very.” Very breathed out as she was straddled and rubbed on. “Can I touch...?”
Vivio breathed into Syn's ear and spoke into it huskily, suddenly grinding her body against hers. “No...” She licked her earlobe and sucked on it, pinning Syn's hands to the bed.
~**~
Syn answered her phone quickly, flipping it open so the ring tone wouldn't wake up the girl sleeping on her bed. Although her treat had lasted the better part of half an hour, she felt rather flustered that she wasn't allowed to touch her not even once during it but at the same time knew that Vivio was just teasing her. “Hi mom,” she greeted the phone contently. “Hm? I'm not doing anything... No, Vivio is taking a nap, she stayed up really late. I'll have to talk quietly.” She paused and sat down next to her girlfriend, who was sleeping peacefully. “Thanksgiving? Sure I'll come. Never pass up free food that you don't have to cook... I don't think she is doing anything, no.” Syn smiled fondly. “I'd love to invite her to come over to meet you and dad.” Her hands threaded through the blond's hair and she had to repress a giggle when the girl didn't even stir from the motion. “Who else is going to be there?” Syn pulled the covers over Vivio's body so she wouldn't catch a cold. “Oh, some important people? Sounds neat, I'd like to meet them. What division are they in?” Syn smiled down at her girlfriend while listening. “Sixth mobile Division, what a bland name.” She laughed softly. “Go ahead and make plans for us to be there, I'll invite her when she wakes up.”

Vivio slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes, inhaling a pleasant scent through her nose. Syn had her back turned to the girl and was busy cooking, humming to herself as she stirred the contents of something that Vivio couldn't see. Red and green eyes looked around to find her earlier disregarded clothing during her lap dance and put them on as quietly as she could to avoid the embarrassment of having Syn see her naked again. Once covered she walked to the kitchen area and was smiled at. "Hey," Vivio yawned out the word before wrapping her arms around her girlfriend from behind. "How long did I sleep?"
"Almost three hours." Syn put a cover on her skillet and leaned back against Vivio's chest. "Hey, what are you doing for thanksgiving?"
"I have a shoot tonight for my webpage, but I can set it to automatically update on the day itself so nothing really."
"A Thanksgiving special?" Syn almost laughed. "What, are they going to stuff you or something?"
"Yes, with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, salad-" She stopped her joking when Syn did start laughing at her. "But really, it's nothing big, shouldn't take more than an hour to shoot it."
"What are you going to do?"
"Want to come watch?" Vivio hugged her. "It may be a bit much, but you can meet some of my friends before we do the shoot."
"I'll go meet your friends, I don't know about watching." Syn patted Vivio's hands. "I'll watch the recording of it with you okay?"
"That's fine, you can stay in my dressing room while we shoot it, I have a TV in there." Vivio nodded to herself. "Oh, why did you ask anyway?"
"My mom and dad want to meet you." Syn gripped the skillet in front of herself with one hand and took the lid off with the other so she could flip the contents around. "I'd really like it if you came to my home for Thanksgiving?"
"Oh wow... okay, I'm a bit nervous though... who will be there? Am I going to meet all of your family?"
"No, just my parents and a few higher-ups from their work that they are friends with. Something about a gathering of friends that they haven't seen in a while and all that. I won't know them either so we can just stick together off to the side."
"Okay, that's good." Vivio kissed Syn's cheek. "When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow, so we can drive down there and be in time for dinner, then thanksgiving day after, stay that night, and come back. Is that too long?"
"No, I can go a while without updating my page since I'm doing that one tonight." She smiled happily. "I'm looking forward to it."

Syn looked around nervously as she was handed a guest ID card to walk around the studio with Vivio. "I feel weird," She whispered to her friend once they were away from the receptionist. "It's like everyone who looks at me wants to bend me over a table and go to town on me."
"As fun as that would be to watch, don't worry about it."
"Wait," Syn cut her off. "You'd like to see that?"
"Hm? Yes, that would be rather erotic." She stuck out her tongue at her friend, not positive if Syn was sure if she was serious or not. "But really, everyone here is professional. They don't need to skirt chase, their job is to have sex." She waved at some of her friends who were walking from a set.
Syn was still looking at her from the corner of her eyes. "Okay, if you say so... It's still a little creepy. Gah, I'm sorry that was rude."
"Syn doesn't think before speaking, I'm used to it by now." Vivio elbowed her playfully before opening the door that had her name on it. "Here's my dressing room. Short tour, there's my couch, my vanity, my shower, and my clothes."
The blue haired girl whistled lightly. "It's huge." The single room was indeed big enough for everything mentioned and still be comfortable to lounge in. "They treat everyone really nice here, huh?"
"Well, the normal ranked people don't have rooms, they just come here, do their thing, and leave."
"So since you're a star you have a room?"
"Well, I have paper work to do and-"
"Whoa, you have paperwork?" Syn blinked.
Vivio looked offended. "Of course! I'm under contract labor, I have to do all my own taxes, sign forms of release for the recordings, schedule my filmings, talk to people, sometimes we have employee cookouts so people gather in my dressing room to hang out in-"
"Okay, I get it." Syn rolled her eyes. "Forgive me for not knowing."
"Well that's why I asked you here." Vivio sniffed at her and crossed her arms.
"Yeah..." Syn sighed. "Sorry, it's just weird knowing that you're about to go and have sex with someone. I'm okay with it, but it's still a little awkward." Before she could go on a knock at their door made them pause. Vivio bid them to come in and before Syn could react, a small child ran past her and hugged Vivio's legs.
"Vivio!" The girl greeted happily as she was holstered up to be balanced on the older woman's hips.
Vivio smiled at the small red haired girl. "Why hello there, Lina."
"Lina!" a new voice coming into the room made everyone look to see a blond haired girl with crystal blue eyes. "Don't run off like that, and use your manors."
Lina pouted slightly. "Yes Mama."
Vivio walked over to the woman and grinned. "Hey Krissy, how're you?"
"Great, we're about to go to Mark's parent's for thanksgiving."
Vivio smiled and pulled Syn over to her with her free hand. "that sounds really wonderful Krissy, I'm going to my girlfriend's place this year. Syn, meet Krisslanza. Krissy, meet Syn."
Syn nodded at her. "Nice to meet you."
"Oh, Syn!" Krisslanza smiled brightly. "Vivio has told us so much about you, it's great to finally meet you!" The blue haired girl blinked. "Oh you are quite a cute little thing! Way to go Vivio!"
"Krissy!" Vivio scolded her, blushing brightly. "Don't tell her that, it's embarrassing." She glanced at Syn lightly and then averted her eyes. Lina decided that she wanted down at that moment so Vivio sat her down onto her feet.
"Hey everyone," A new voice made them look at the door once again, this time seeing a guy.
Krisslanza giggled. "Honey, meet Syn, she's the girl Vivio rants about being head over heels in love with all the time."
"KRISSY!"
Syn felt her lips turn up slightly and nodded at the man walking over to them as he reached down to pick up his daughter and smile brightly at the child. "Nice to meet you."
Spoiler for PornStar!Vivio pt.53:
Vivio stood closer to Syn to introduce them. "Syn, this is Mark, he's the one I'm going to be filming with today."
"Oh." Syn nodded again and watched Mark talking with his daughter.
Krisslanza nodded to confirm it before turning to Vivio again. "Vivio, would you mind if I watched after Lina in your dressing room? The day care is closed for the thanksgiving weekend already and I need to get back to my job soon, I'm on my dinner break."
"Sure! Syn is going to be in here too so you can get to know each other." She looked at the still open door when someone poked his head in to speak with them.
"Guys, set two is ready. Eyes, please change into your outfit, it's on your vanity." With that the man left them once more to continue his rounds.
Mark waved at them after swapping his daughter back to her mother once more. "I'll see you then, Eyes." He left the three girls as well and closed the door behind him.
Vivio walked to her vanity and opened the box, pulling out a black skirt and a matching 'buisness woman' top. "Seems like I'm going for the secretary look today." She began changing clothes while Syn watched her curiously. "Are you positive you don't want to watch, Honey?"
Syn shook her head. "No thank you. You go do your thing and I'll be here when you get back." Vivio finished changing and hung up her casual clothes. On the way out she kissed Syn's cheek and smiled at her one last time before hurrying out of the room. Once the door was closed again the blue haired girl looked over at the mother/daughter combo sitting in front of the now turned on Television. "So, you known Vivio a while?"
Krisslanza nodded and left the channel on something her daughter would like. "I met her a few years ago while I was waiting on Mark to finish a scene. I was talking about how hard one of my college classes was after the shoot and she overheard me. After a while she offered her help with it because she seemed to know a lot about the subject. After that we ate lunch together and really hit it off. Poor thing was so scared about her new job and didn't know anything about it so I kind of explained how it worked. Although I'm not into the business, my husband is so I knew enough."
"Was it hard for you to accept it all?" Syn sat down next to her and looked down at the quiet child watching cartoons. "Sorry this must be weird."
"Oh no, you're going through the same thing I did." Krisslanza smiled at her happily. "No, it was really hard at first. But you have to separate work from home. I'm sure Vivio has talked to you about that?" She got a nod. "Mark loves me more than anyone else in the world." She fondly touched her wedding band. "His work doesn't mean anything, it's just what he does. Same with Vivio. Did you know she refused to work for almost a month when you two broke up?"
Syn flinched. "Really?"
"Mmhmm, she came to work to try to but she ended up staying in her dressing room crying. I talked to her a while to help her through it and she eventually got better. you have no idea how much she talks about you. Can't shut her up."
Syn felt a small smile tug at her lips. "That's interesting, what does she say?"
Nicely done Satashi, now i wonder what you planning now?

I don't mind pointing out constant mistakes as long as it's polite.
