Wow. No complaints here. Then again, this chapter has completely taken away any trace of my ability to comment justly, due to common interests...
You got Caladbolg Zwei correct, even managed to bring the mental image of Archer out intact. *makes characterization notes* Looks like the Cleric-Knights weren't on-site when the collapse happened though. Cant' blame them; the TSAB were practically asking for their absence.

Lots of it. And of course multiple OC involvement was great. Quote:
Keroko proves again why he's the master of canon integration with Uomo. His history's flawless as far as I can tell and much kudos for a tough job well done. ..though I got the reaction after reading the first two lines of his profile.

Somewhat. At least on Kyou's side. Nanoha isn't as meek as Ryou, but Keroko is fiercely protective of Nanoha. Quote:

I'm laughing, so I'd say mission acomplished. You know... this chapter made me realize just how evem more alike Keroko and Nanoha are at the moment. The only difference is that where Gravemind messes with Nanoha using words, Neltharion's essence messes with Keroko's raw emotions. So alike. >_< Quote:
Good. You fell for the trap then. :3 |

Nova and Hikaru, for those who haven't seen the MKR anime, are two halves of the same coin. Nova is literally the dark half of Hikaru's heart, who shows up in the second season, spawned from the guilt Hikaru felt at being forced to kill Esmeraude at the end of the first. The two are fairly evenly matched, but eventually Nova returns to Hikaru's heart at the end of the second season. It's this "returning to the heart" business that creates the parallel, the difference being that she doesn't just cease to exist when she unites with Hikaru or Rico. In this timeline, Hikaru was a soldier in the Belkan war machine centered around Arcadia. Early in her career, she narrowly missed being fried by a blast from an Arc en Ciel, and escaped the experience with a body so saturated with magical energy that her cellular structure decayed much slower than normal, extending her lifespan by about 30 years. Eventually Hikaru rose through the ranks, and near the end of the war she became a general and was assigned a unison device, Nova. Arcadia fell to Mid forces while Hikaru's division was engaged with the fleet over [insert name of random planet here]. When Hikaru learned that her homeworld had burned while she was away from home, she resigned her post, returned home, and began using her powers to try to help with reconstruction... which is hard to do when you've got hundreds of cities the size of New York in ruins and very little equipment to rebuild with. Nova was retained by the Belkan military as their property, and didn't catch up with Hikaru until about 3 weeks after her death, a long ways down the line. Fast forward 60 years or so, to right around 0052. Hikaru, now in the waning years of her life, adopts a child abandoned by uncaring parents and raises him as her own. The boy turns out to have a fire affinity, so to keep him from accidentally lighting stuff on fire, Hikaru begins to teach him to control his powers around the time he turns 6. When Rico is 13 years old, Hikaru finally passes away, leaving Rico to fend for himself. A few weeks later, Nova turns up and decides (with some prodding from Rico) that since her original meister isn't around any more, she's going to lend her assistance to Hikaru's legacy. Nova's teleportation magic is what allows Rico to go world-hopping (which should be relatively simple, considering that Fate did it unaided in season 1), and you know the rest of the story from there.

Since your UD is from Ancient Belka, it is more likely that she'll make it through, but we need to work on the details a bit. The below timeline for example has me confused: Quote:
Also, on the subject of teleportation magic, Fate had the nifty advantage of being a AAA mage and actually having the coördinates. Why do you think the TSAB troops, and even Teana and Hayate, used ship-born teleporters if it was easy just to pop in and out wherever you want? |

ReBuild of Katrina? Nah..
~~~~~~ Spoiler for Katrina:
Backstory explaining Katrina's link to Jail, as well as Quint and the Alphinos. Spoiler:
--- A placeholder for the revised version of the original profile. I got tired of referring to three separate posts for one profile and decided to make changes to the old one while I was at it. A list of the changes.

Awesome trap is awesome Thanks. Quote:
Of course, when enough Spawn congregate on a planet, they'd start turning the resident Cerberate (which is the control center of Spawn in this dimension) into a Proto-Gravemind form, and then *poof* there goes your control over them (the biomass on World 52 was a proto-Cerberate). Unless you can repeatedly kill the Ceberates before they begin to evolve, anyway, then you can have indefinite control over them. Quote:

I've done an alternate scenario in my mind once where Nanoha never met Keroko until RF6's return trip to earth, Keroko was at the point of complete collapsing. Very tragic story, that. Quote:

Well I acutally have four of them and a magical hacker in my fic… they don't get much spotlight until the third chapter though, working name: SNAFU.

A verbal warning is basiclly always the first response though, and acutally you basiclly have to give at least one warning as if you don't tell them what to do and just attack they can argue they weren't resiting since they hadn't been given an order to desist and that it was assualt. The exception is if they attack you in which case hostile intent and will to resist is assumed and you can fight back, even then though many officers even if the act is aggressive will still give some chance to submit. (See any number of videos with cops yelling "drop the gun" basiclly once he pulled that they could probably shot him if he even vaugely pointed it at them and be right, but they'll tend to hold fire unless it really looks like he's going to use it.) A good example is a video I saw (but can't find on the web) where two guys from a truck fight with an officer first they talk trash after the officer tells them to lay down on the ground, then the attack and scuffle but the officer breaks away and draws a baton and orders them to get on the ground again. They back off but keep talking trash and then one of them gets a shovel from the truck and starts to advance toward him and only then dose he acutally draw his gun on them. (showing there level of intelligence they still give in, but they do back off and not try to attack anymore and he basically holds them at gun point until more officers arrive.) Basically force is NEVER the first option at least in a law enforcement setting and a verbal warning is pretty much mandated. That said use of force is a bit of a, sometimes contradictory, legal minefield (though it tends to favor the cops in all but the most previous abuses). Even so someone that makes a habit of attacking first and asking questions or trying to reason later is going to come under scrutiny as a potential legal liability. Quote:
