P.S - It's a long shot, but has anybody read a manga that was recently out, entitled...

"PANDORA HEARTS"

Pretty much As I think "Five Minutes" is indicating, he finished OCS sometime around the airport fire, and completed his A-rank promotion exam about the same time (Wiki claims that all officers have to be a minimum of A-rank), but he was in the Order since it almost began, which means that he's spent around ten-fiteen years being Paperwork's bitch. And since Ivanovich hates and despises paperwork, and is the Sergeant Major... well, you get the idea.

Though at the present, he still does a lot of the Sergeant Major's paperwork, despite being Assault Platoon Leader (really an oversized Section, but Platoon sounds better - heck, USMC ANGLICO platoons are really 6-man teams). Regardless of what the TSAB thinks, in the OFM, Sergeant Major = Right Hand of God. Especially when the Sergeant Major is *cough*Johnson*cough*

Oh, yeah. I have ideas about that which I'm gonna discuss with Kagerou... but yes, it comes up alot. And occasionally when Franz least wants to deal with the issue...

Spoiler:

Franz knelt behind a boulder and snarled angrily at the guntank-type Gadget Drone (as the Gundam-loving Intel Puke had called it), and slapped a hand against his ear (which didn't do much to increase telepathic comm fidelity, but was an ingrained habit).

"This is Hammer Alpha, I need air support and I need it now! Target will be lased! Air unit, do you copy?"

"Air inbound, Hammer Alpha," replied the pretty voice that made his heart do uncomfortable things when he heard it. "Uh... Bruder?"

"...ja, Naomi?"

"...do you love me?"

"Ja," repiled Franz curtly, leaning out from the boulder and ducking back, narrowly missing a beam that would have taken his head off.

"Really? Hontou ni? Truly? Zettai ni? Absolu-?"

"Ja, ja, ja!"

"Do you really-"

"Oh for God's sake, Naomi, I'm being pinned down by enemy fire! If you don't get your cute tight little ass over here and get me some air support, I'm not going to be around to tell you I love you! GET HERE NOW, PRIVATE!"

"...yes, sir," replied the young girl, subdued.

Leaning out and sneaking another look at the Gadget Drone, Franz wondered whether it would have been better to have had his head shot off instead.

And you live in around this timezone in Asia eh?

Lol yeah. Right now, it's a few months after the fire and Hayate's big idea of Riot Force 6, so Nanoha is S+ vs Franz A+. The only area he outguns her is in HOT BLOOD. Hell, he outguns almost everyone in Riot 6 in terms of Hot Blood, but since almost everyone around can pwn him, I guess it balances. Hot Blood for Franz doesn't give him any attack bonuses... (in fact, it lowers his defence and adds "Priority Target +200" on him, which is why nobody wants to stand next to him. )

Sweet! Now that means I gotta work on Franz's skills and Ivanovich's profile/skillset as well.

lol, talk about a one-sided rivalry...

"Come on! We won't see each other for a few more months!"
"...it's too much to hope I'll never see you again, correct?"
"Damn right! Come on, let's fight like Real Men!"

Can't wait for the continuation.

It's part of her "Friendship through Force" philosophy: she kicked the shit outta him, which brought down his relationship barriers, and caused him to humble himself to accept her friendship. Once that was done, she basically moved all the way into Close Friend in one fell swoop.

Though Franz doesn't dare put the moves on her because Naomi threatened to castrate him if he ever attempted to "defile Nanoha-oneechan". Though that might have been jealousy speaking... as for Glen's POV...

Glen: "Franz, if you dare try and go on a date with any of those Aces, I will personally confine you to a fate worse than death."
Franz: "You mean castrate me?"
Glen: "Thank you for reminding me about that option, I will keep it in mind. No, what I had in mind was..."
Frans: "Oh God." *shuddering*
Glen: "You. Desk. Thirty Years. Unlimited Paper Works."
Franz: "...goddamnit."

Spoiler for Five Minutes to Lose, Pt.2:

Present Day, Riot Force 6 Cafeteria

"So that's why you weren't surprised when Subaru copied your Divine Buster," mused Teana thoughtfully, looking shrewdly at Nanoha and Franz. "It had already been copied."

"That's right," smiled Nanoha. "Franz-kun and Colonel von Long were the first people to copy Divine Buster... although they DID ask permission first," she continued, smiling reasurringly at an embarrassed Subaru, who looked as if she wanted to sink into the floor and die. "Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It wasn't as powerful though..."

"I don't call you 'Beamspam-chan' for nothin'," shrugged Franz. "Now, that was the first time I'd used Divine Buster outside of the firing range, and lemme tell you, the feeling of firing it for real as compared to a range... totally different experience.

"Now, I could finally see the true difference in our power: this was just a few months after the airport fire, so Beamspam-chan was already S+, while I'd just made A+ around six months prior, so the result was obvious. There was no way in hell I could touch her; all my Divine Buster did was absorb and retard some of Nanoha-chan's fire, but not much, so I whipped out Round Shield and called upon my hot blood..."

======
Four Years ago,
TSAB Proving Grounds

"Nanoha will win."

Vita spoke with such assurance and confidence, she could have swayed anyone to her thinking, even with such a simple statement. As it stood though, about the only person who thought Franz had a snowball's chance in hell of beating Nanoha was, well, Franz. The only real question was how long he'd last.

"I still say he'll lose in 3 minutes. That's my wager."

"4 minutes and 30 seconds, liebchen," retorted Glen. "One must be precise in one's target selection. He'll last no longer than that. Speaking of which, what does the loser owe the winner?" His eyebrows raised fractionally as Emili whispered in his ear, and the look he turned on her spoke volumes; Emili matched his gaze and smiled coyly, and Glen smiled internally as well. Regardless of who wins, it's a win-win situation.

11-year-old Naomi was upset that nobody was supporting her brother...but...well... it was true that Nanoha-oneechan was so much cooler than Franz.

"He never learns," sighed Signum, shaking her head. "Though I knew that already..."

Franz had fared no better against Signum, either.

"It's the biggest joke in the Order," mutter Glen sourly. "Seven years ago, Erick tells me to "finish his training." Seven years later, and he still isn't done. My life is a cartoon."

"Oh, shut up, baka," laughed Emili, and she kissed him.

"...guess it's not all bad, though," mused Glen, when he finally came up for air.

======

As he fell to the ground, Franz's mind raced through his options, the hot blood in his veins giving priority to the most destructive plans, until it found one that might work...

"Cortana, Sonic Move."

[Da, Comrade.]

Jack flickered away from Nanoha's Divine Buster, barely missing the giant pink beam; throwing himself against another ruined building, skidding down along the outer wall...

[Burst Jump.]

Powered by magic, he jumped up and away, heading right towards Nanoha, Cortana shifting into katana form; he chambered another two cartridges and yelled his incantation: "PLASMA LANCER!" Eight glowing arrows shot forward towards Nanoha; Franz began praying to Guiness that they'd hit...

And snarled as Nanoha calmly evaded all eight arrows with the briefests of movements and a smile on her face. The arrows retargeted and charged Nanoha, as he ordered "Blitz Rush,"... and cursed as Nanoha's Accel Shooter shot down all his arrows.

Franz had forgotten that Nanoha was Fate's best friend... and thus knew the counters to all her friend's attacks. Attacks which he had copied.

"Don't underestimate me!" he roared. "I didn't get where I am by sitting on my ass! I'll show you the golden path of battle that all great men travel! Heaven or Earth, it makes no difference! The purity of my heart gives me the strength of ten men!"

"Not your Device?" called Nanoha teasingly.

"...uh, well, that too," admitted Franz,bringing up his sword to guard against Nanoha's Accel Shooter, deflecting magenta energy orbs, as his left hand snaked towards the black pistol in the holster on his belt. He flew through the air, coming closer and closer...

"Barrett Shot!"

His hand lifted the Pistol Device and it automatically chambered a cartridge; focusing magic at the barrel exit, Franz focused and squeezed the trigger. The hammer came down and fired the cartridge; the slide rocked back, ejecting the empty shell casing, as the compressed magical energy flowed through the barrel into the ball of magic at the exit, giving the spell the energy it needed; like a shot of NOS to an engine. 4 magical shots rang out, as Jack past Nanoha and squeezed the trigger again, firing another four-shot spell at her; as he reached the apex of his jump and began falling, he looked down...

To see Nanoha deflecting all 8 shots off Round Shield, and point Raging Heart at him.

"Magnum Shot!" he called, squeezing his trigger, firing single shots at Nanoha, who paused her attack to form a smaller shield, catching and deflecting his shots. Magnum Shot was similar to Barrett Shot, but instead of firing a 4-round burst, poured all its power into a single shot, which gave it AA-rank power, but also gave strong recoil, which was strong enough to push Franz back and slow his fall; he stowed his pistol and frantically loaded a pair of cartridges into Cortana, chambering cartridges as he came closer and closer, as Nanoha casted Active Guard, slowing him down further as she prepared her attack.

Which was when Franz finished loading cartridges and began his speech.

"Don't underestimate me! This is the golden path of battle that all great men travel! The Magma of my heart! My Young Blood on FIRE! Who do you think I am?! GIGA! DRILL! BREAKEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

=====
Glen facepalmed, his free hand twitching, as Emili sighed and patted his shoulder, and Naomi hid behind Emili, her face beet red. Fate and the Volkenritter looked at themselves, Franz, and then at Glen, who raised a hand.

"Don't. Ask."
=====

Nanoha blinked and dropped her attack, as Raging Heart chanted Protection Powered, catching the giant energy drill that glowed and pulsed madly; sparks flew as the giant drill tried to drill into her barrier, and Franz had a wildly triumphant look on his face, a look of 'I have you now"...

Before Nanoha smiled sweetly at him.

[Barrier Burst.]

"Fu-"
=====

Barrier Burst operated on similar principles to the reactive armor used on Earth and Erusia: a controlled detonation that threw the explosive force outwards, flinging the attacker away. The results were even more spectacular becase Franz's Giga Drill Breaker was an energy drill, and had partially "drilled" through the explosion of magic before being flung away... which meant that he had caught parts of the blast right in his face. The force was enough to stun him, and he fell from the sky; fortunately, it was only a hundred feet or so, and Nanoha was kind enough to break his fall...

By using a dozen Accel Shooter projectiles to hit him as he fell, coming up and slowing his fall.

The Erusian mage landed in a crumpled heap on the rubble, and for a moment, appeared still.

"Three minutes and 55 seconds," said Emili. "I guess neither of us win..."

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!" roared Franz, dragging himself upwards, fumbling painfully for Cortana, which lay a few feet away. His left eye was swollen shut, and blood caked his forehead and fingers, and he had to squint his right eye painfully to see through the blood. "Cortana may be gone from my hands, but I am undefeated! My back is bowed, but my head is held high! So long as this heart beats, I shall never surrender!" He raised his pistol, chambering a cartridge. "Plasma La-"

[Divine Buster, Extension.]

That was when Nanoha's final Divine Buster slammed into him, before he could even raise a shield. When the beam faded, Franz took a step, and fell face-forward.

"Winner, Nanoha!" announced Fate, and Emili checked her watch, smiling at Glen. "Four minutes and thirty seconds. You were right. Well, I guess I'd better take Naomi and go check on him."

"Ja," agreed Glen, as she picked up Franz's sister and flew off to the unmoving mage, as the others slowly made their way to him. Emili landed in a crouch in front of Franz, depositing Naomi and leaning over him.

There was one quirk that Emili had; her blue Navy uniform sported a skirt that was shorter than regulation (almost a miniskirt, in fact), with a slit that ran higher than usual. Why was this important?

Franz was rolled onto his back, and his eye blearily tracked up, moving past her boots to her white thigh socks, further up...

"A flash of blue," he murmured. "An azure cloud set against the milky sky..."

Emili gasped, her face flushing, and immediately reacted, kicking Franz into the air with a spin kick, shouting "ERASE IT FROM YOUR MIND!" and landing a 12-hit combo as he fell down and tumbled to slam into yet another piece of rubble.

"Bruder!" exclaimed Naomi excitedly. "Compared to Nanoha-neechan's Divine Buster, which hurts more?"

"Can't you ask me about something else?" groaned Franz miserably. "Goddamn mages have antisniper hax. God damn you, Beamspam."

======

Present Day, Riot Force 6 Cafeteria

"And that, kids, is the day I stopped thinking of Takamachi Nanoha as my idol and my hero... and began to think of her as my friend," smiled Franz. "Friendship through superior firepower..."

"I should have known you were here, Franz," murmured a quiet voice, and he stiffened, his eyes wide, sweat sliding down the side of his face, an Oh shit expression on his face. "Uh, hi, Sir."

Glen Schattenmann looked coldly at his apprentice and subordinate, and when he spoke, his tone was as cold as ice. "You. Paperwork. Now."

"My apologies, Ladies and gent, but I gotta run," said Franz. "Good luck to all of you. See ya, Beamspam-chan. Sir, about this, I can-"

"Now, Lieutenant."

"Yessir," replied Franz, who fled; none of the Forwards could find it in their hearts to blame him. Glen stared after him, before turning to the table and inclining his head. "Pardon me," he murmured, and swept away.

Nanoha shook her head and chuckled fondly. "Some things will never change..."

It's finished. My fingers. They hurt.

Not at all. I'm probably guilty of that.

Katrina would swallow him whole.

I don't think so, she is sleeping after all.

Well she should be 24-25 by now, you'd expect her to act her age, and maybe have a love interest by now!! *pushes Itsuki as candidate*

Itsuki will have plenty of contenders for that.

I wonder is it Vita that's starting to like hanging out with Felix or you are taking a liking to Vita. That big scary hammer must be the appealing thing. *runs*

Guys love girls who wield giant tools.

Makes me strangely proud to be the one who introduce the insane bluecheese generator to this thread.

You have your credit.

I think I know who he is, though I'm rather surprised at the sudden animosity towards him. Must have been because of that fiasco over in the FF thread.

I wouldn't say animosity, it's not on that level yet after all.

However I had a feeling that it wasn't that Leona was haxx or anything, but rather she somehow didn't hold back even in that mock combat. My guess is its not because she did it on purpose or was trying to hurt or scare them; but rather for some bizarre reason, she can't.

I had this feeling too but couldn't place it until I read your comment. There seems to be something else strange with her in that fight too.

Lies are the fabrications of men to protect their fragile heart and soul.

That's one way to see it.

Why is this being an issue suddenly? Kinda sad that differing opinions can cause people to stay away from a thread that has better content than the fluff and rabid rabbits in heat over the other side, not to mentioned I'm starting to see Legionnaires there.

It's not that big an issue yet, just that the place is a little much too sweet for some this days. And inevitably, when there's NxF, you get Legionnaires.

I'm not sure about that. If Belka is a variant that originally branched of from Mid style like canon mentioned, it would only be logical that Mid style is even MORE ancient compared to Belka.

It was mentioned brieftly back in A's but Belka, or at least the Belkan system of magic is an off-shoot of the Mid branch so Mid is pretty old. Just that the only indication of Mid being ancient was that single line and nothing along that line was ever mentioned there after.

Mm, must be interesting then! Links? :

I would recommend watching the anime first in your free time to get an idea but the fics are pretty good too IMO. Here's the link. Look for the evafanfic.org link on the left of the main page. No idea if it would suit you but look for Random1337's works to start off.

I've never said that she's a grown-up, haven't I? *goes back to check description*

Loli that kicks butt.

You make it sound so bestial.

That's just me.

And more in his mind-games, no?

As well as out-smarting his opponents.

NIGHTY!

You have my full supplication at having produced such a MOST EPIC PIECE known as Saga of Saga (yes, I've finally finished it)! Full of angst, pain, suffering, and also of love, dedication, and promises between Saga and Tiara! And not to mention some hints between Astra and Shamal and Signum and Isdera (I don't think there's any between Vita and Wira, is there?)!

I'm most touched and impressed!

Indeed we must!

The force was enough to stun him, and he fell from the sky; fortunately, it was only a hundred feet or so, and Nanoha was kind enough to break his fall...

By using a dozen Accel Shooter projectiles to hit him as he fell, coming up and slowing his fall.

The Erusian mage landed in a crumpled heap on the rubble, and for a moment, appeared still.

"Three minutes and 55 seconds," said Emili. "I guess neither of us win..."

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!" roared Franz, dragging himself upwards, fumbling painfully for Cortana, which lay a few feet away. His left eye was swollen shut, and blood caked his forehead and fingers, and he had to squint his right eye painfully to see through the blood. "Cortana may be gone from my hands, but I am undefeated! My back is bowed, but my head is held high! So long as this heart beats, I shall never surrender!" He raised his pistol, chambering a cartridge. "Plasma La-"

[Divine Buster, Extension.]

That was when Nanoha's final Divine Buster slammed into him, before he could even raise a shield. When the beam faded, Franz took a step, and fell face-forward."

"Winner, Nanoha!" announced Fate, and Emili checked her watch, smiling at Glen. "Four minutes and thirty seconds. You were right. Well, I guess I'd better take Naomi and go check on him."

"Ja," agreed Glen, as she picked up Franz's sister and flew off to the unmoving mage, as the others slowly made their way to him. Emili landed in a crouch in front of Franz, depositing Naomi and leaning over him.

There was one quirk that Emili had; her blue Navy uniform sported a skirt that was shorter than regulation (almost a miniskirt, in fact), with a slit that ran higher than usual. Why was this important?

Franz was rolled onto his back, and his eye blearily tracked up, moving past her boots to her white thigh socks, further up...

"A flash of blue," he murmured. "An azure cloud set against the milky sky..."

Emili gasped, her face flushing, and immediately reacted, kicking Franz into the air with a spin kick, shouting "ERASE IT FROM YOUR MIND!" and landing a 12-hit combo as he fel down and tumbled to slam into yet another piece of rubble.

"Bruder!" exclaimed Naomi excitedly. "Compared to Nanoha-neechan's Divine Buster, which hurts more?"

"Can't you ask me about something else?" groaned Franz miserably. "Goddamn mages have antisniper hax. God damn you, Beamspam."

======

Present Day, Riot Force 6 Cafeteria

"And that, kids, is the day I stopped thinking of Takamachi Nanoha as my idol and my hero... and began to think of her as my friend," smiled Franz.

"I should have known you were here, Franz," murmured a quiet voice, and he stiffened, his eyes wide, sweat sliding down the side of his face. "Uh, hi, Sir."

Glen Schattenmann looked coldly at his apprentice and subordinate, and when he spoke, his tone was as cold as ice. "You. Paperwork. Now."

"My apologies, Ladies and gent, but I gotta run," said Franz. "Good luck to all of you. See ya, Beamspam-chan. Sir, about this, I can-"

"Now, Lieutenant."

"Yessir," replied Franz, who fled. Glen stared after him, before turning to the table and inclining his head. "Pardon me," he murmured, and swept away.

Nanoha shook her head and chuckled fondly. "Some things will never change..."

It's finished. My fingers. They hurt.

One mistake in the first line. Subaru copied Divine Buster, not Starlight Breaker.

I like the parts where the more technical parts of the fight are explained, does have a good feeling among the humor present in the fight. Franz doing GDB was slightly surprising but kudos for bringing that into the fight as well as the Clannad reference after it ended.

For a second opinion on the translation, I'm now downloading a chinese to see.

*slaps forehead*

So I was correct! I thought I heard of my original premise somewhere, but I don't exactly trust my casual memory.

It makes more sense like this, that Belka and Midchilda grew up alongside each other but the melee one almost died out. It's like how samurai and swordsmen as mainstream warfare is unheard of. This allows for the Cradle and it's Alhazred implications to fit.

With that aside, looks like I won't be needing to rebuild Ancient Midchilda from scratch. But yeah needs more details, and I dunno how far X has gotten.

Then again, it seems our timelines have diverted, so maybe I can whip something up? But given my schedule, I'd prefer somebody else to do it.

Do do that and help us confirm it.

It's a canon statement that came from Chrono himself in A's

I think the idea was that magic had existed long before, but only during the last 150 years has its use exploded to completely replace conventional weapons.

And so what's this new idea about some "Ancient Mid"? Is it something else? Maybe I missed something.

And I thought Kha turning to Saber was unusual... there's also an alternate female version?

Kha has turned into all possible normal forms so far, including a kid and a girl. What's left now is Kharon... (I wonder if someone will get that. Hint, GL *runs*)

Dunno where I read this, though (I didnt come up with this myself)... So how is it, then?

TSAB chose magi-tech to replace conventional weapons of old eras and naturally, the most accessible one is their local Mid-childa magic system which had existed probably as long as Mid-childa was there. At the very least, it's got to be minimum no less than 500 years old around average. It didn't mean that it was created by them.

Putting into example, let's say nuclear is banned and everyone was forced to use solar. Solar already existed, but it became the one allowed tech since nuclear is banned. Something like that anyway.

Chrono did say in A's that Belka stemmed off Mid-childa.

And not to mention some hints between Astra and Shamal and Signum and Isdera (I don't think there's any between Vita and Wira, is there?)!

I'm most touched and impressed!

Thanks.

And yes, Wira is technically Vita's rival, but done so in a Zafira-manner. So on that extent, he's pretty much shafted.

An archer should stick to being a solitary warrior from a distance anyway. His beast form is more or less a supplement, and it's not like there's much to write of his character when he's in beast form.

And weird that I missed Chrono's statement... or maybe I wasnt paying much attention at the time.

My perspective of MC and Belka has just changed a lot too...I admit that this fact that MC and Belka are both from the same origin is quite a disappointment. I always thought Belka was from an "ancient civilization," much like Alhazard, and one that Mid-Childans did not understand well (hence why they had trouble reading Belkan code in A's). Oh well, no matter.

I'm not sure about that. If Belka is a variant that originally branched of from Mid style like canon mentioned, it would only be logical that Mid style is even MORE ancient compared to Belka.

Erm...wasn't Kino a guy? I'm not sure since I didn't watch it even when it came out on Animax.

As for that other thread... that has fallen to IT's forces long ago- became a temple for IT to worship Slaneesh Satashi's works, which embody IT's ideals and such.

That sounded wrong...

It makes more sense like this, that Belka and Midchilda grew up alongside each other but the melee one almost died out. It's like how samurai and swordsmen as mainstream warfare is unheard of. This allows for the Cradle and it's Alhazred implications to fit.

With that aside, looks like I won't be needing to rebuild Ancient Midchilda from scratch. But yeah needs more details, and I dunno how far X has gotten.

Then again, it seems our timelines have diverted, so maybe I can whip something up? But given my schedule, I'd prefer somebody else to do it.

Do do that and help us confirm it.

- Two lines of thought don't come into existence together at the same time- they are born of a central dogma/question/idea.

Well i was thinking of an idea... well I'm trying to implement the idea that Mid and Velka had one representation of the chief deity/divinity. *cough*Danaan*cough*

*points to above post*

- Thus, making a premise that Mid and Velka, as well as a lot of other forms, branched from one common ancestor

Spoiler for AlternateS I - It's not perfect to Canon, but can still work:

“But that was one of their more failed ventures…” Kyla quickly spoke, as not to further ignite anger and instead fuel interest. “Their real objective is to acquire all eight devices, with the hopes of bringing out the most powerful of the sealed devices- the divine staff Gospel. In legends, Gospel is known as the staff of life and death, beginning and end… and only one can use it. It has been also said that it was created from a different magic from ours and we have identified the magic used in it- Terra-type.

“‘Terra’- as in Earth?” Hayate asked.

“One and the same…”

“In Velka space- Velkadia…” Shamal began to speak. “There is a legend about the origin of our force- that it was created from another form…”

“Thank you for that information… and it is true; all magic came from Terra-type- even the ones the enemy and one of you use…”

===

“Using their abilities to the fullest and sometimes in the worst of conditions, they began to extract these stable energies and imprison them into special crystals that were created from the immense energies of the creation of the dimensions- these ‘holymetal’ crystals were then placed in devices to handle their immense power. With the schism completed and irreversible, they have managed to stabilize the cosmos due to their plan. And to maintain that compromised stability, they have hidden those devices in various parts of the cosmos, hoping that they would not be found. But with the split in the cosmos came in splits along various energies- and thus the variation of magic. From what we now know as Terra-type magic, three other ‘children’ emerged from it…” she continued, now projecting an image of the complete and true Terra-type sigil.

Aside from the intricate border Nanoha had seen, a more intricate formation was now filling the middle (where the mid was) - somehow loosely based on the Mid-type. To be more precise, it was an intricate cross, glyphs on the inner surface of the bordering circle, holding both touches of mid and velka. The cross in its drawing was itself intricate, each of the four arms unique- akin to velka. And the cross itself was encased in one of the more familiar items- the two overlapping squares of the mid formation, the tips of each just touching the inner glyph line. Then to one side and below it, two familiar drawings appeared- those were the Mid and Velka formations.

“And so the mid and velka magic stemmed from terra, both compliant and deviant forms- they signify the two aspects of combat- confrontational and ranged. But…”

Then appears the sigil from the attacker and Nanoha- on top of the terra drawing- the product was that the terra drawing was the middle of a simple web- with the mid, velka and the still unknown drawing around it.

“And this is the type that is against the Terra-type…” Kyla spoke, pointing to the fourth formation. “It is called Dei-type, from the Terran Latin word ‘deus’ which means ‘god’- also outlining the objectives of the form- to become gods. It was once was a closed from, until forty years ago, when the youngest bureau mage, Peach suddenly manifested with it.”

“Peach? Who is she?” Nanoha asked.

It's almost like Christianity and Islam If i have offended anyone, please tell me

- they have one god

- they have a 'prophet' or someone in Mid that has the same rank level as the Velkan Anointed Seiou/Saint Royal

Though:

Mid is polytheistic so the 'one god' line is replaced by 'chief god/deity/divinity'- but still almost serves the same purpose.

Mid is more focused on equal representation of faith- all are allowed to pray/interact to all divinities. That is why there are 'god interactions' (the addtion of Solty Dike- as an example) in AltS.

Velka is monotheistic, with the chief deity having 'direct contact' with the Saint Royal.

Velka is on some sort of 'caste system', with certain groups praying/interacting for a specific deity role- well might explain the groupings we have so far- the Royals (Tiara/Sakura), The Primarchs (Alistina), the Clerics (Kha), the Ritter (Wolkies, etc) and so on...

*chuckles* Yeah. I haven't seen anybody get away with Hotblood in the Nanoverse, so it seems that GAR is allowed, but not Hot Blood. Factor in the hot blooded speeches and the posing and the yelling, and you're already a beam magnet, even before the modifiers stack.

Which is why, again, Franz does not have a partner: nobody in their right mind wants to be near him. On the other hand, he's very good for making diversions...

I like the parts where the more technical parts of the fight are explained, does have a good feeling among the humor present in the fight. Franz doing GDB was slightly surprising but kudos for bringing that into the fight as well as the Clannad reference after it ended.

Lol, yeah, I screwed up on that. Thanks for your comments; I wasn't quite sure how well the tech details would be received, but this is encouraging... my description of how the pistol works is based on my observations of Teana's original pistol and my speculations on how she makes it work.

Once you think of it like this, the Cradle and all the Ancient Belka hoohaa becomes clear.

Blame Triad for that mistake.

So it's like Spanish and Italian then, in that both came from the same source...

Makes me think that the Belkans were more warlike though, what with the cartridges... and probably really liked their guns.

And all those pics of Yuiko....

*stares at his laptop keyboard*

I'm gonna havta drain this thing and bleach it to get all the blood out; my keys are getting really sticking -_-
