Just helping a little with my uncanny nit-picking powers Sonic xD:
Spoiler for AkiO's ...part of a complete breakfast:
Be carefull with the kind of explanation/phlebotinum you'll use to turn Nanoha into a combat cyborg. It's supossed combat cybprgs are made from birth because they're clones genetically modified to theyr bodies won't reject the bionic implants and other cyborg enhacements which means not everyone can be a combat cyborg, specially adult women who wasn't received any kind of treatement for the such.
Not saying it's impossible, tough, cause in the realm of fanfiction everything is possible (for the better or the worst xDU). I'll wait to see the method you'll choose to pull off that, it'll be interesting xD

Nit-picking powers?
Spoiler for Cereal is always part of a balanced breakfast:
The cyborg conversion thing already happened.. in mine some higher ups from TSAB authorized it.. asset protection it seems.. Surely if they had the technology to synchronize cyborgs with devices, and cybernetic implants were possible.. it's not too far of a stretch to have some scientists be able to convert Nanoha into one.. also it's also "Experimental"
What Aki is referring to is that in the canon, a human body will reject a cybernetic implant that is inherently "better" than what it's replacing. A cybernetic implant that's basically a match--a simple replacement--can be accepted by the body, but something on the level of the combat cyborg's implants will be rejected by the body, which is why they need to be grown specifically from them from near birth. What Aki's saying is that you need proper justification to give combat cyborg upgrades to a fully grown human like Nanoha.

Spoiler for Response to Rising Dragon:
Well the way I figure.. yeah while the body can reject the implants.. there are certain cases where the body has to adapt or was in a position where the implants or in my case. complete conversion had to be used.. and in mine.. they made her into a cyborg because of an incident where she strained her body too hard. and she was also close to dying.
Location: Somewhere over the rainbow, in a house dropped on an ugly, old woman.
Spoiler for response to the response conversation:
Haven't read the fic in question, but according to StrikerS, you CAN give a normal human stronger cybernetics. The body will most likely reject it, but we deal with rejection on Earth. It means taking pills to suppress the immune response. So, it's doable, but not without significant cost.
Mhhh... could work like Kaijo said, some science fiction works about Cyborgs or cybernetics enhacements on non-prepared humans depict the possibility for those to work on normal people but only with constant treatement and things like heavy medication as Kaijo said. I0ve also watched some cyborgs being in the need of having their blood filtered or receiving outright blood transfusions due to blood poisoning coming from the bionic implants. You can play a bit with that if you want to add to the drama xD

Spoiler for If AkiO's are for kids than whats the adult equivalent?:
This is also part me wanting to be a bit original and unique with the turning Nanoha into a cyborg bit.. I stride to be creative and unique. So it's kinda part of plot device having Nanoha turned into a cyborg.. now the reason why her parts aren't being rejected was because her injury left her weakened and almost dead.. so immunities would be weakened.. Well part of it's injury.. the injury was bound to happen at some point... in my story there was a major catalyst to it.. bottom line I wanted to be original with it.
"I'm home!" Vivio yelled as she walked in through the front door a couple of hours later. "Arashi came with me, mama!"
"Hey, nee-san!" Arashi waved as he saw his sister in the kitchen. Kicking off his shoes, he groaned as he sat down in the kitchen. "Vivio, if you don't keep your friends from trying to get me join in your sparring..."
"What?" Vivio grinned at him. "I think it's funny."
Arashi shot her a dirty look, pointed a finger at her and smirked as Vivio yelped as ice formed down the back of her shirt. "Hey! No fair!" Yelling, the blonde girl ran forward and tackled Arashi out of the chair. "I'll get, ack!" Vivio yelped as she suddenly found herself on her back and Arashi grinning down at her. "...How'd you do that?"
"I'm older, bigger and dad makes me learn this stuff." Arashi rolled his eyes as he tried standing up, only to find Vivio grabbing his legs and causing him to fall onto his back. "Oww!" He sat up and glared at his niece. "What the heck?!"
"Alright you two!" Nanoha yelled at the two of them while looking down at them, frowning softly. "If you're going to go fight, go outside. Vivio, go get changed, and Arashi," she sighed as her daughter stopped wrestling with Arashi and ran to get changed, "what are you doing here?"
"Your house is closer to the school." Arashi answered her. "I was almost late this morning, so I was wondering if I could spend some time here."
Nanoha raised an eyebrow as her brother stood up. "You sure? Wouldn't you rather live with mom and dad, not with your sister?" Nanoha didn't mind her brother staying over, but the house could feel crowded some days as it was.
"Mom's got Dieci and Cinque with her, plus the shop, and dad can't teach me much of my Chaos magic." Nanoha sighed when Arashi looked at her pouting softly, "so, nee-chan, can I..?"
"Yeah, I'll send Miyuki over to get your clothes and we'll get you a room for the week, okay?" She sighed when her brother hugged her. "You're welcome, kiddo." Smiling, Nanoha rubbed his back before patting him twice. "Come on, I'll get you a room set up and talk to mom."
"Thanks." Arashi let go and followed her to a guest room. "Hey, nee-chan, how are things here anyway?"
"Well, they're about to get more exciting soon." Nanoha grinned as she walked, causing Arashi to blink in confusion. "What?" She asked as she turned and saw him looking at her in confusion.
"Uh, what do you mean by that?" Arashi asked, looking around slightly nervously. "Did Ixy lose control again? Or did Miyuki try and cook again?"
"I'm not that bad!" Nanoha had to fight back the urge to laugh as Miyuki rounded the corner and tackled their little brother, pinning him to the ground. "You take that back about my cooking! I've never done anything worse than burn the food before!"
"..What about that one time you tried to cook octopus?" Arashi asked, causing Miyuki to blush heavily and growl.
"We weren't going to talk about that ever again." Miyuki, Arashi and Nanoha all shivered from that memory and looked around for a moment. "Alright, anyway, I'm not that bad of a cook, and no, Ixy didn't go crazy again."
Arashi blinked and looked at Nanoha. "Don't tell me that you, Yuuno, Fate and Miyuki are all going to the beach again." He groaned, remembering the last time they were there. "I don't think they want you to play volleyball anymore."
"Vita-chan's the one who spiked the ball, that girl has no control over her strength when she gets excited." Nanoha grumbled and shook her head. "No, but it's not a bad idea."
"One of you is gunna marry Yuuno, right?" Arashi smirked as both of his older sisters suddenly froze up and looked around nervously. "What? I like him."
"Um..." Nanoha looked at Miyuki, who sighed and nodded to her. "It's a work in progress."
Arashi just blinked, wondering what Nanoha meant by that.
(---)
Lina sighed as she heard Nanoha's voice. "Alright, thanks. I'll get his clothes ready tonight then." Sighing, she hung up the phone and looked around, grateful that there was no one inside at the moment. "Shiro!"
"Yeah?" He and Cinque both popped their heads out of the kitchen, an identical look of confusion on both of their faces. "What's up?"
"Looks like Arashi's going to live with Nanoha for most of the semester, since her house is closer to school." He nodded and she smiled at Cinque. "Anyway, Cinque, why don't you take the next couple of days off?"
Cinque would blink, but her eye-patch was keeping that from happening easily. "Um, why?"
"You've been putting a lot of hard work lately, so I want you to have some fun, or at least hang out with your other sisters, okay?" When Cinque nodded and slipped into the back, Lina sighed and leaned against the counter, crossing her arms over her chest and looking down. "...Shiro? Is it normal to worry about your children, as well as everyone else because of an image you had in a dream?"
Shiro walked out of the kitchen and blinked in confusion. "I'm not sure what you mean, Lina."
Grimacing, Lina reached up to touch her left eye, "it's just, I had this dream, I think it was a vision... There was fire, someone with a sword in her hand, a lot of dead bodies and screaming, lots of screaming."
Shiro frowned softly. "Any clues?"
"Other than she had long hair and a body to die for?" Lina smirked at her husband, "no, nothing. The sword looked broken to me. The last thing I remember was someone saying something... 'Never forget, it's always the little things' and then I woke up."
Shiro had no idea what to say or do in this situation. He wasn't a mage, he didn't have the ability to foresee the future at all.
All he could do was be there for Lina if something happened and hope that it didn't.
Listening in, Arf frowned and wondered just what that was about before deciding to talk to Fate about it. If their mother was worried about something, then it would be a good idea to talk to someone before it was too late.
She couldn't help but be worried. After all, her mother never got worried about anything, or at least, she never admitted out loud so freely, so if she was doing that now...
Arf decided she would talk to Fate later tonight before going to bed.
(---)
"Hey!" A female voice spoke up as the door opened. "We're back."
"Fate! Yuuno!" Nanoha smiled as she greeted the two of them happily. Walking over to them, she hugged them both. "Mmm! Missed you two so much."
"We were only gone for a few days, Nanoha." Yuuno protested lightly, but still hugged her back. He had missed her too.
"Hey boss, should we tell her about those tribal women that tried to kidnap you from Fate?"
Nanoha raised an eyebrow and laughed at the look the two of them had. "Must have been some adventure."
"Yeah, though I think boss really should be more careful around certain women, he ended up with..."
"Thoth," Yuuno growled at his device, "finish that sentence and I will find a way to wipe out all of the porn on you."
"Not the porn! Anything but that! Sorry boss, I'll be good."
"Better." Yuuno grumbled and looked at Nanoha's amused face. "Trust me, it wasn't as much fun as it should have been."
Fate only frowned and walked into the house, her frown leaving her face as she saw Arashi turn the corner. "Hello, brother."
"Hi!" Arashi smiled at her before blinking. "You upset with Yuuno or something?"
"Or something." Fate admitted, sighing heavily. "The last..."
"Fate-mama!" Fate was interrupted and looked up, smiling as Vivio ran up, an ecstatic look on her face. "How are you?!"
"I can't really complain," Fate smiled as she stretched lightly, wincing as her back let out a popping noise. "So, Arashi, how long are you going to stay with us?"
"At least until the semester is over," he answered while waving to Yuuno, who was walking into the house more, "your house is closer to the school than mom's house is."
Fate nodded and smiled at Vivio. "How about you, Vivio? How was your first day today?"
"Great!" Vivio grinned at Fate. "Rio and Corona have the same classes as I do, and even Ixy's going to school with us."
"Come on, let's eat supper." Nanoha smiled as she walked over to the stove. "There's plenty here, so let's eat."
"Alright!" Nanoha wasn't sure what was more interesting, that everyone said it at the same time, or that Fate was among the louder ones there.
(---)
"AHHH!" Vivio smiled as she leaned back in her chair and patted her belly. "Yummy!"
Nanoha fought back an urge to laugh as she finished up her meal. Even if Vivio wasn't a Takamachi by blood, she certainly ate as much as one. "Anyway, Vivio, I have a surprise for you."
Vivio's eyes widened as she and everyone migrated into the living room. "What is it?"
Nanoha walked over to the couch and pulled out a box from behind the far corner.
"You got Vivio a box?" Arashi asked, before doubling over as his niece elbowed him in the stomach. "Oh, come on! That was a joke!"
"Not funny!" Vivio stuck her tongue out at him. Turning back to Nanoha, she blinked as the box was opened up and inside... "A bunny?"
The bunny twitched and suddenly floated up, causing Vivio to let out a yelp and jump behind Arashi suddenly. "Ack! Ixy's gone from people to bunnies!"
"Not really," Nanoha laughed softly, "it's actually a new device." Vivio blinked as the bunny looked around. "Before you ask, I told Shari that if it acts anything like Thoth, she and I would have words about it."
"Oh, come on, I'm not that bad!"
No one in the room bought it for a moment.
"So, what's it for?" Arashi asked as Vivio walked over to greet her device. "I mean, Vivio's pretty tough even without a device."
"Let's just say that this one's special." Nanoha nodded to Vivio. "Come on, let's go outside."
Miyuki watched as Fate, Nanoha and Arashi followed out after Vivio, leaving her alone with Yuuno. "It's been awhile since we were alone," the smile on her face had him gulping slightly. "Oh come on, I just ate, I'm not going to bite."
"I'd hope not." Yuuno admitted, smiling at her.
Three seconds later, Miyuki's lips met his. Even if Yuuno wasn't too surprised by the kiss, it was rather sudden and it took him a couple of seconds to react.
Miyuki closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of Yuuno hugging her while returning her kiss. It didn't last long, which she was sad for, but understood why as they broke it. "Welcome back."
Yuuno smiled as she sighed and rested her head on his shoulder. "Thanks, Miyuki."
There was a flash of light outside and Yuuno and Miyuki both stood up, wondering what it was. Walking to the door, they both stared in shock at what they saw.
(---)
Vivio closed her eyes as a magic circle surrounded her and her new device. "Owner name, Vivio Takamachi, style Belkan with Mid-Childa Hybrid," she opened her eyes and looked at her device before nodding, "device name registration, Sacred Heart, nickname Chris."
Behind her, Nanoha gasped as she heard that. Why would Vivio name the device after her Raising Heart?
"Sacred Heart... SEEET UP!" Vivio let out a loud yell as she and Sacred Heart were engulfed in light.
When the light died out, Vivio stood there still, however, instead of the young ten year old girl standing there, a blonde girl in her late teens stood there, her long blonde hair was tied to the side in a ponytail. Her body was covered in a deep blue body suit that had a dark jacket covering her shoulders and arms, on her hands were armored gloves that she flexed with her fingers. "Wow! Mama!" Vivio turned and smiled at Nanoha and the rest of her family. "It worked!"
Nanoha smiled as well. "Alright!"
Arashi just stared at his niece, well, he was trying to, but he was a little distracted by how tight that body suit was around her backside and... His eyes widened as he saw her chest jiggle with her movements. '...Wow...' Vivio was going to grow up and look like that? And why was he so interested in what she would look like when she got older anyway?
Fate blinked and looked at Nanoha and then at Vivio before sighing. "I hope there's a good reason why Vivio looks like an adult now." She smirked when both Nanoha and Vivio looked at her nervously and giggled softly. "We've got time."
The only reason Fate wasn't freaking out about Vivio being an adult and looking like she did four years ago when she fought Nanoha was mostly because she didn't see Vivio in her Saint Kaiser form directly, only in images and descriptions from Raising Heart.
Well, that and all the weird stuff that had happened in her life kept her from reacting too negatively anyway.
Vivio becoming an adult with her new device didn't get anywhere near weird enough for her to start worrying about it yet.

Bad jokes run in the family?
I was going to complain Arashi is too young to start deciding by himself to start living with Nanoha instead of Lina... and then I remembered this is aNanoha crossover.
I see Miyuki is joining Shamal's cooking ranks
Does anyone call the old Belkan ruler "Ixpelia" anymore? At this rate evn the history books are going to put Ixy as her name.
(No one in the room bought it for a moment.) *notes that even Vivio and Arashi are in the room right now*
"I'm home!" Vivio yelled as she walked in through the front door a couple of hours later. "Arashi came with me, mama!"
"Hey, nee-san!" Arashi waved as he saw his sister in the kitchen. Kicking off his shoes, he groaned as he sat down in the kitchen. "Vivio, if you don't keep your friends from trying to get me join in your sparring..."
"What?" Vivio grinned at him. "I think it's funny."
Arashi shot her a dirty look, pointed a finger at her and smirked as Vivio yelped as ice formed down the back of her shirt. "Hey! No fair!" Yelling, the blonde girl ran forward and tackled Arashi out of the chair. "I'll get, ack!" Vivio yelped as she suddenly found herself on her back and Arashi grinning down at her. "...How'd you do that?"
"I'm older, bigger and dad makes me learn this stuff." Arashi rolled his eyes as he tried standing up, only to find Vivio grabbing his legs and causing him to fall onto his back. "Oww!" He sat up and glared at his niece. "What the heck?!"
"Alright you two!" Nanoha yelled at the two of them while looking down at them, frowning softly. "If you're going to go fight, go outside. Vivio, go get changed, and Arashi," she sighed as her daughter stopped wrestling with Arashi and ran to get changed, "what are you doing here?"
"Your house is closer to the school." Arashi answered her. "I was almost late this morning, so I was wondering if I could spend some time here."
Nanoha raised an eyebrow as her brother stood up. "You sure? Wouldn't you rather live with mom and dad, not with your sister?" Nanoha didn't mind her brother staying over, but the house could feel crowded some days as it was.
"Mom's got Dieci and Cinque with her, plus the shop, and dad can't teach me much of my Chaos magic." Nanoha sighed when Arashi looked at her pouting softly, "so, nee-chan, can I..?"
"Yeah, I'll send Miyuki over to get your clothes and we'll get you a room for the week, okay?" She sighed when her brother hugged her. "You're welcome, kiddo." Smiling, Nanoha rubbed his back before patting him twice. "Come on, I'll get you a room set up and talk to mom."
"Thanks." Arashi let go and followed her to a guest room. "Hey, nee-chan, how are things here anyway?"
"Well, they're about to get more exciting soon." Nanoha grinned as she walked, causing Arashi to blink in confusion. "What?" She asked as she turned and saw him looking at her in confusion.
"Uh, what do you mean by that?" Arashi asked, looking around slightly nervously. "Did Ixy lose control again? Or did Miyuki try and cook again?"
"I'm not that bad!" Nanoha had to fight back the urge to laugh as Miyuki rounded the corner and tackled their little brother, pinning him to the ground. "You take that back about my cooking! I've never done anything worse than burn the food before!"
"..What about that one time you tried to cook octopus?" Arashi asked, causing Miyuki to blush heavily and growl.
"We weren't going to talk about that ever again." Miyuki, Arashi and Nanoha all shivered from that memory and looked around for a moment. "Alright, anyway, I'm not that bad of a cook, and no, Ixy didn't go crazy again."
Arashi blinked and looked at Nanoha. "Don't tell me that you, Yuuno, Fate and Miyuki are all going to the beach again." He groaned, remembering the last time they were there. "I don't think they want you to play volleyball anymore."
"Vita-chan's the one who spiked the ball, that girl has no control over her strength when she gets excited." Nanoha grumbled and shook her head. "No, but it's not a bad idea."
"One of you is gunna marry Yuuno, right?" Arashi smirked as both of his older sisters suddenly froze up and looked around nervously. "What? I like him."
"Um..." Nanoha looked at Miyuki, who sighed and nodded to her. "It's a work in progress."
Arashi just blinked, wondering what Nanoha meant by that.
(---)
Lina sighed as she heard Nanoha's voice. "Alright, thanks. I'll get his clothes ready tonight then." Sighing, she hung up the phone and looked around, grateful that there was no one inside at the moment. "Shiro!"
"Yeah?" He and Cinque both popped their heads out of the kitchen, an identical look of confusion on both of their faces. "What's up?"
"Looks like Arashi's going to live with Nanoha for most of the semester, since her house is closer to school." He nodded and she smiled at Cinque. "Anyway, Cinque, why don't you take the next couple of days off?"
Cinque would blink, but her eye-patch was keeping that from happening easily. "Um, why?"
"You've been putting a lot of hard work lately, so I want you to have some fun, or at least hang out with your other sisters, okay?" When Cinque nodded and slipped into the back, Lina sighed and leaned against the counter, crossing her arms over her chest and looking down. "...Shiro? Is it normal to worry about your children, as well as everyone else because of an image you had in a dream?"
Shiro walked out of the kitchen and blinked in confusion. "I'm not sure what you mean, Lina."
Grimacing, Lina reached up to touch her left eye, "it's just, I had this dream, I think it was a vision... There was fire, someone with a sword in her hand, a lot of dead bodies and screaming, lots of screaming."
Shiro frowned softly. "Any clues?"
"Other than she had long hair and a body to die for?" Lina smirked at her husband, "no, nothing. The sword looked broken to me. The last thing I remember was someone saying something... 'Never forget, it's always the little things' and then I woke up."
Shiro had no idea what to say or do in this situation. He wasn't a mage, he didn't have the ability to foresee the future at all.
All he could do was be there for Lina if something happened and hope that it didn't.
Listening in, Arf frowned and wondered just what that was about before deciding to talk to Fate about it. If their mother was worried about something, then it would be a good idea to talk to someone before it was too late.
She couldn't help but be worried. After all, her mother never got worried about anything, or at least, she never admitted out loud so freely, so if she was doing that now...
Arf decided she would talk to Fate later tonight before going to bed.
(---)
"Hey!" A female voice spoke up as the door opened. "We're back."
"Fate! Yuuno!" Nanoha smiled as she greeted the two of them happily. Walking over to them, she hugged them both. "Mmm! Missed you two so much."
"We were only gone for a few days, Nanoha." Yuuno protested lightly, but still hugged her back. He had missed her too.
"Hey boss, should we tell her about those tribal women that tried to kidnap you from Fate?"
Nanoha raised an eyebrow and laughed at the look the two of them had. "Must have been some adventure."
"Yeah, though I think boss really should be more careful around certain women, he ended up with..."
"Thoth," Yuuno growled at his device, "finish that sentence and I will find a way to wipe out all of the porn on you."
"Not the porn! Anything but that! Sorry boss, I'll be good."
"Better." Yuuno grumbled and looked at Nanoha's amused face. "Trust me, it wasn't as much fun as it should have been."
Fate only frowned and walked into the house, her frown leaving her face as she saw Arashi turn the corner. "Hello, brother."
"Hi!" Arashi smiled at her before blinking. "You upset with Yuuno or something?"
"Or something." Fate admitted, sighing heavily. "The last..."
"Fate-mama!" Fate was interrupted and looked up, smiling as Vivio ran up, an ecstatic look on her face. "How are you?!"
"I can't really complain," Fate smiled as she stretched lightly, wincing as her back let out a popping noise. "So, Arashi, how long are you going to stay with us?"
"At least until the semester is over," he answered while waving to Yuuno, who was walking into the house more, "your house is closer to the school than mom's house is."
Fate nodded and smiled at Vivio. "How about you, Vivio? How was your first day today?"
"Great!" Vivio grinned at Fate. "Rio and Corona have the same classes as I do, and even Ixy's going to school with us."
"Come on, let's eat supper." Nanoha smiled as she walked over to the stove. "There's plenty here, so let's eat."
"Alright!" Nanoha wasn't sure what was more interesting, that everyone said it at the same time, or that Fate was among the louder ones there.
(---)
"AHHH!" Vivio smiled as she leaned back in her chair and patted her belly. "Yummy!"
Nanoha fought back an urge to laugh as she finished up her meal. Even if Vivio wasn't a Takamachi by blood, she certainly ate as much as one. "Anyway, Vivio, I have a surprise for you."
Vivio's eyes widened as she and everyone migrated into the living room. "What is it?"
Nanoha walked over to the couch and pulled out a box from behind the far corner.
"You got Vivio a box?" Arashi asked, before doubling over as his niece elbowed him in the stomach. "Oh, come on! That was a joke!"
"Not funny!" Vivio stuck her tongue out at him. Turning back to Nanoha, she blinked as the box was opened up and inside... "A bunny?"
The bunny twitched and suddenly floated up, causing Vivio to let out a yelp and jump behind Arashi suddenly. "Ack! Ixy's gone from people to bunnies!"
"Not really," Nanoha laughed softly, "it's actually a new device." Vivio blinked as the bunny looked around. "Before you ask, I told Shari that if it acts anything like Thoth, she and I would have words about it."
"Oh, come on, I'm not that bad!"
No one in the room bought it for a moment.
"So, what's it for?" Arashi asked as Vivio walked over to greet her device. "I mean, Vivio's pretty tough even without a device."
"Let's just say that this one's special." Nanoha nodded to Vivio. "Come on, let's go outside."
Miyuki watched as Fate, Nanoha and Arashi followed out after Vivio, leaving her alone with Yuuno. "It's been awhile since we were alone," the smile on her face had him gulping slightly. "Oh come on, I just ate, I'm not going to bite."
"I'd hope not." Yuuno admitted, smiling at her.
Three seconds later, Miyuki's lips met his. Even if Yuuno wasn't too surprised by the kiss, it was rather sudden and it took him a couple of seconds to react.
Miyuki closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of Yuuno hugging her while returning her kiss. It didn't last long, which she was sad for, but understood why as they broke it. "Welcome back."
Yuuno smiled as she sighed and rested her head on his shoulder. "Thanks, Miyuki."
There was a flash of light outside and Yuuno and Miyuki both stood up, wondering what it was. Walking to the door, they both stared in shock at what they saw.
(---)
Vivio closed her eyes as a magic circle surrounded her and her new device. "Owner name, Vivio Takamachi, style Belkan with Mid-Childa Hybrid," she opened her eyes and looked at her device before nodding, "device name registration, Sacred Heart, nickname Chris."
Behind her, Nanoha gasped as she heard that. Why would Vivio name the device after her Raising Heart?
"Sacred Heart... SEEET UP!" Vivio let out a loud yell as she and Sacred Heart were engulfed in light.
When the light died out, Vivio stood there still, however, instead of the young ten year old girl standing there, a blonde girl in her late teens stood there, her long blonde hair was tied to the side in a ponytail. Her body was covered in a deep blue body suit that had a dark jacket covering her shoulders and arms, on her hands were armored gloves that she flexed with her fingers. "Wow! Mama!" Vivio turned and smiled at Nanoha and the rest of her family. "It worked!"
Nanoha smiled as well. "Alright!"
Arashi just stared at his niece, well, he was trying to, but he was a little distracted by how tight that body suit was around her backside and... His eyes widened as he saw her chest jiggle with her movements. '...Wow...' Vivio was going to grow up and look like that? And why was he so interested in what she would look like when she got older anyway?
Fate blinked and looked at Nanoha and then at Vivio before sighing. "I hope there's a good reason why Vivio looks like an adult now." She smirked when both Nanoha and Vivio looked at her nervously and giggled softly. "We've got time."
The only reason Fate wasn't freaking out about Vivio being an adult and looking like she did four years ago when she fought Nanoha was mostly because she didn't see Vivio in her Saint Kaiser form directly, only in images and descriptions from Raising Heart.
Well, that and all the weird stuff that had happened in her life kept her from reacting too negatively anyway.
Vivio becoming an adult with her new device didn't get anywhere near weird enough for her to start worrying about it yet.
Me: Remind me to beat the morality into Hayate, Thoth, Kyrie and Sein if anyone of them is the root cause of Arashi becoming the Jiraiya of BTF.
Hayate: We're not that bad.
Sein: Yeah!
Odin: Can I join the beatdown if that happens?
Kyrie: Oh kinky!
Odin: Great... Ruby is enough for me... I don't need another one with fetish.
Mariemeia: Oh Vivio... What size are those melons?
Tear: Can we just cut the melon references?
Kaguya: What's wrong of being WELL endowed? *Made her bust bounce.*
Reia: Just don't let Hayate nor Sein grope Vivio in front of Nanoha... For their own sake.
Me: I don't know... But why I got a feeling of a 3-way catfight if something goes wrong in that household...*Points at Nanoha's house.*
Odin: The same reason why a Coordinator, a Vampire, a Yuki-Onna, a Succubus and a masochist Witch trying to have my undivided attention.
Iris: Let's hope that the future is not as bad as the upcoming paradox seeker have seen before.

There's an option for him to be in the receiving end of a Buster, you know... :P

After getting everyone inside, Fate, who was sitting on the couch next to Miyuki, who was next to Yuuno, looked at Nanoha and Vivio with her arms crossed under her breasts. "Well?" She wasn't too worried about Vivio being in adult mode, but this wasn't something that had been discussed earlier.
Nanoha sighed and rubbed the back of her head. "Honestly, I wasn't sure if it would work. Besides, this was a gift for Vivio, the fewer people that knew, the bigger chance that it would be a surprise."
"I'd say it's a surprise," Yuuno looked at Nanoha and Vivio, "I thought that most devices wouldn't work for her." He looked at Thoth, "or did she need a device like Thoth here?"
Nanoha rubbed her forehead. "No, the device shouldn't be like Thoth, but, remember that I fought Vivio back on the Saint Cradle?" Both Yuuno and Fate nodded and looked back at Vivio. "Well, when the fight was over, her Linker Core still had that Relic fused with it."
Fate blinked at that, "but, shouldn't she be able to go into this form naturally then?"
Vivio shook her head. "The relic was kind of... Um..."
"Shut off," Nanoha supplied for Vivio, "it was there, but it didn't have a way to turn on properly. Apparently the Relics need the Cradle to work, and since it's gone..." Nanoha trailed off, letting the others figure it out for themselves. "So, Shari's been studying the Relics for awhile and figured out how to get a specialized device to activate them. And Vivio's new device is the end result of that research."
"Well," Vivio closed her eyes and a moment later she was back to being a ten year old girl, floating next to her was Sacred Heart, "see? It's not exactly the same as what happened before. And thanks to Sacred Heart, I don't need to worry about someone controlling me like that ever again."
"Yeah," Nanoha nodded at the unspoken question, "if someone tries to use the Relic to control Vivio, Sacred Heart has a shut-off mode that will cut power to the Relic and stop people from trying to take control of her."
Yuuno looked at Vivio, then at the device before nodding and looking at Nanoha, "I doubt it's perfect, but I'm willing to trust Shari on this." He sweat-dropped at the looks he got from Fate, Nanoha and Miyuki. "Even if she helped build Thoth and we all know that she can be crazy, she knows what she's doing."
"True..." Nanoha nodded slowly, "alright, what about you two?" She asked her sisters, hoping they wouldn't be too upset about all of this.
Miyuki shrugged at Nanoha and Vivio. "Just more weirdness in my life. I mean, it's not like the time you decided to bring home some aliens from another world into our home." She grimaced as Fate elbowed her in the stomach. "What I'm saying is," she gave Fate a flat stare in response, "it's not as bad as some of the things that I've seen, so I'm okay with it."
Fate threw her hands in the air and shook her head slowly. "Well, it's not like I can change your mind on this, so," she smiled at Vivio, "just don't use this to cause problems, okay?"
Vivio nodded and smiled at her. "Sure, Fate-mama."
Arashi tapped his chin as he looked at Vivio. For some reason, he just wanted to see Vivio in that more grown-up form again. He then slapped his forehead and groaned to himself. What the heck was he thinking?
(---)
Nove stretched as she walked through the late night streets. Sure, there wasn't much to do at the gym today. Tomorrow would be more interesting, since Vivio was going to be around with her friends. That was always more fun than sparring against people who didn't really treat Strike Arts as anything more than a hobby. "Urgh, I swear..."
"Do you now?" A new voice spoke up and Nove spun around, her eyes widening as she looked at the green-haired person looking down at her from on top of a light pole. Nove blinked as she looked closer at the person, the black visor across the eyes had her gulping slightly. "...Don't tell me that you're a Mariage." Sure, the person on top of the pole didn't look exactly like those Mariage that Ixpellia created before, but at the same time, the visor was bringing up bad memories.
"No, I am not," the person said with a soft voice before jumping off of the light pole and landing on the ground to turn and face Nove. "Would you prefer that I take the mask off?"
Nove smirked at the masked person and took in the appearance a bit more, the green hair was long and done up in a single loose ponytail, the jacket was white and actually looked pretty durable as it covered the person's entire upper body, including the arms, looking down, Nove raised an eyebrow at the white and green pants the person was wearing before taking in the person's fingerless gloves. "You know, it's a bit rude to appear out of nowhere with a mask on your face. I'm just a girl walking out alone at night, how do I know you aren't someone who wants to rob me or something?"
The person actually blushed lightly and reached up and removed the mask, revealing a purple and blue eye staring back at Nove. "I would not do such a thing. I saw how you moved and..."
"You're a stalker?" Nove stared in slight shock. "I mean, I know I'm good looking, and people hit on me all the time, but if you wanted to go on a date with me, you could have just asked." Nove was a little surprised that the mysterious person in front of her started blushing even more. "Though, if you wanted to take me on a date, I should warn you that I can be a bit of a problem..."
"That's not why I'm here." The person said, sounding flustered. "I want to challenge you to a fight."
Nove blinked and let out a loud sigh. "Just a fight? That's good. I don't typically get asked out on dates by strangers." She smirked as the person just seemed to twitch. One thing Nove found odd was that the person's voice was fairly soft. 'Almost like Otto.'
"Are you going to put on some protective armor or weapons?" The person asked Nove. "I must apologize, I seem to have forgotten my manners. You may call me the Emperor."
Nove blinked and stared at the Emperor. "...Are you going to put on metal boots that cover your shins and a big armor that has a cape in the back?"
The Emperor blinked in confusion. "I'm not sure what you mean by that," Nove watched as her soon-to-be opponent shifted to a wider base, legs spread slightly apart for balance, one arm pulled back as the hand was balled into a fist and the other arm was in front of the person, fingers pointed forward seemingly loosely, "however, I wish to find out where my strength compares to others."
Nove chuckled as she tapped her right foot on the ground behind her, her hands in her pockets. "And challenging me will help you find out, huh?"
The next thing the Emperor knew, Nove's knee was slamming into her arm and the redhead was already following it up with an electrified punch towards the Emperor's head. Nove watched as her opponent leaned backwards and did a flip kick, catching Nove in the small of her back and sending her backwards. "Very nice."
"Tch," Nove grimaced from the discomfort her hips were sending to her brain. "Well then, guess I don't have a choice, Jet Edge!" He called while pulling out a gem that was similar to Subaru, Ginga and Quint's devices in looks.
"Set up!"
It had been a gift to her after the events that ended six months ago. Quint never wanted to find out that her daughters had gotten hurt simply because they didn't have a device and a barrier jacket to protect them.
Nove wasn't sure she would ever get used to being naked from the transformation, even if it was only for a brief moment as a single body suit wrapped around her torso, leaving her shoulders bare and going down to her hips, covering her rear and crotch instantly, a short-sleeved jacket covered her shoulders as her gun knuckle covered her right hand and her roller blades covered her feet, stockings ran from her feet up to the middle of her thighs before straps went across the front of her legs up to the belt that snapped around her mid-section.
The Emperor nodded at Nove's change of appearance. "Good, I do not wish to harm you too much."
Nove snorted at her. "You want to test your strength against people? Why pick a fight with random strangers? Why not join an arena or something?"
The Emperor sighed softly. "It's not that, while I wish to prove myself, I do not wish to become famous for doing so."
"So, you break the law to do that?" Nove asked, anger starting to boil up. "Listen, if you want to fight with me, that's fine, but just stop picking fights with random people. One day that'll get you killed."
"If that is the case, then I deserve it." Nove twitched as she heard that.
"Stupid brawling idiot!" Nove growled at the Emperor. "Just stop this! Come with me, I'll show you nice places where you can fight to your hearts content and get stronger at the same time."
"Thank you for your kindness, but," the Emperor suddenly dashed forward so fast that Nove was hard pressed to follow the movements, "the answers I want are not to be found on a public stage!" A punch to Nove's face had her staggering back and the follow-up punch to Nove's stomach had her coughing hard. Jumping up and back, Nove grimaced and rubbed her stomach while landing on the ground some feet away from her opponent. "The kings of Ancient Belka, I must prove to be their superior, so that destruction can never come again to the land around me."
Nove twitched and glared at the Emperor. "That's it? Seriously? Ancient Belka's long dead, and the remnants that still exist are trying to live a peaceful life! What gives you the right to try and disrupt that?!" Nove rushed in at the Emperor, punching forward and grimacing as the Emperor managed to punch with enough force to drive her back.
"Then I must test the kings. If they are weak, then they shall perish."
"YOU IDIOT!" Nove screamed, finally losing her temper. "Don't you dare think for one moment that you'll be able to hurt those two!" She pointed her Gun Knuckle at the Emperor, who's eyes widened as a blue gas was launched from Nove's weapon. Jumping back as the gas expanded, Nove's opponent was suddenly jerked backwards as Nove's feet slammed into their stomach as Nove drove them both to the ground with a loud crash.
The Emperor grimaced in pain and shock, only to snap their eyes open and stare at Nove, who was blushing and jumped off her opponent. "You... You just..."
"Ah, sorry about that, my hand slipped, didn't mean to grab you between the legs." Nove's face was almost as red as her hair. "Well, I was curious if you were a boy or a girl, but now I have my answer."
"That answer may not be the one you think it is." The Emperor stood up and took a deep breath to try and calm down, as well as get rid of the blush that happened because of Nove's accidental groping. "I think I shall have to end this."
"Heh..." Nove smirked and rushed in. "It's not that simple!" Jumping up, the redhead spun and connected with her green haired opponent's arm, only to flip over the Emperor and smirk as she looked at her opponent's surprised face. Putting both hands on the ground, Nove spread her legs and rotated, spinning her body fast enough that her opponent was unable to do anything but roll away when Nove's legs knocked her opponent to the ground. Nove continued to spin until she was standing on her hands, her legs were still spread for balance as Nove walked forward on her hands, spinning her body as the Emperor got up and was forced to block her attacks.
"What is this?" Nove ignored the question as she suddenly rolled forward and slammed an elbow into the Emperor's face, knocking her opponent back.
"Capoeira," Nove smirked as she stood up and looked at her downed opponent. "Well, a variant of it anyway, so, do you give up?" She sighed as her opponent stood up with narrowed eyes. "Look, it doesn't matter, I'm going to beat you, so..."
"Is that a fact?" The Emperor said and shifted stances again. "I thank you for teaching me so much in this fight. I have a long way to go before I am the best, but I shall win now."
Nove narrowed her eyes and jumped up into the air before diving downwards with a kick. "You really think so? You little, over-confident..." She growled as her foot clipped the shoulder of the Emperor, who merely twisted away from the blow. "What the?" Nove's eyes widened as she found herself on the ground, wrapped up in chains.
"I told you, I was going to win... Take the name "Ingvalt" to heart as I win." Nove watched in some horror as Ignvalt's fist was pulled back with energy spiraling around it. "Hao... Dan... Ku..." Nove's eyes widened as an extremely powerful punch struck her in the stomach, her tongue hung out of her mouth as all the air was driven out of her lungs with one strike. "KEN!"
The last thing Nove knew was a powerful build up energy struck her body from that fist, exploding outwards and destroying her outfit, leaving her naked as she hit the ground and bounced away from Ingvalt before crashing into a fence rail.
Looking at Nove's naked form, Ingvalt turned and walked away. "You were very strong, to force me to use that technique..." Still, it wasn't perfected yet. After all, Nove shouldn't have ended up naked like that.
Spoiler for Notes:
I didn't mention Ingvalt's gender on purpose.
Also, it's been awhile since anyone lost their clothes in a fight.

"Yeah," Nanoha nodded at the unspoken question, "if someone tries to use the Relic to control Vivio, Sacred Heart has a shut-off mode that will cut power to the Relic and stop people from trying to take control of her."

Arashi tapped his chin as he looked at Vivio. For some reason, he just wanted to see Vivio in that more grown-up form again. He then slapped his forehead and groaned to himself. What the heck was he thinking?

"Do you now?" A new voice spoke up and Nove spun around, her eyes widening as she looked at the green-haired person looking down at her from on top of a light pole. Nove blinked as she looked closer at the person, the black visor across the eyes had her gulping slightly. "...Don't tell me that you're a Mariage." Sure, the person on top of the pole didn't look exactly like those Mariage that Ixpellia created before, but at the same time, the visor was bringing up bad memories.
"No, I am not," the person said with a soft voice before jumping off of the light pole and landing on the ground to turn and face Nove. "Would you prefer that I take the mask off?"
Nove smirked at the masked person and took in the appearance a bit more, the green hair was long and done up in a single loose ponytail, the jacket was white and actually looked pretty durable as it covered the person's entire upper body, including the arms, looking down, Nove raised an eyebrow at the white and green pants the person was wearing before taking in the person's fingerless gloves. "You know, it's a bit rude to appear out of nowhere with a mask on your face. I'm just a girl walking out alone at night, how do I know you aren't someone who wants to rob me or something?"
The person actually blushed lightly and reached up and removed the mask, revealing a purple and blue eye staring back at Nove. "I would not do such a thing. I saw how you moved and..."
"You're a stalker?" Nove stared in slight shock. "I mean, I know I'm good looking, and people hit on me all the time, but if you wanted to go on a date with me, you could have just asked." Nove was a little surprised that the mysterious person in front of her started blushing even more. "Though, if you wanted to take me on a date, I should warn you that I can be a bit of a problem..."
"That's not why I'm here." The person said, sounding flustered. "I want to challenge you to a fight."
Nove blinked and let out a loud sigh. "Just a fight? That's good. I don't typically get asked out on dates by strangers." She smirked as the person just seemed to twitch. One thing Nove found odd was that the person's voice was fairly soft. 'Almost like Otto.'
"Are you going to put on some protective armor or weapons?" The person asked Nove. "I must apologize, I seem to have forgotten my manners. You may call me the Emperor."
Nove blinked and stared at the Emperor. "...Are you going to put on metal boots that cover your shins and a big armor that has a cape in the back?"
The Emperor blinked in confusion. "I'm not sure what you mean by that," Nove watched as her soon-to-be opponent shifted to a wider base, legs spread slightly apart for balance, one arm pulled back as the hand was balled into a fist and the other arm was in front of the person, fingers pointed forward seemingly loosely, "however, I wish to find out where my strength compares to others."
Nove chuckled as she tapped her right foot on the ground behind her, her hands in her pockets. "And challenging me will help you find out, huh?"
The next thing the Emperor knew, Nove's knee was slamming into her arm and the redhead was already following it up with an electrified punch towards the Emperor's head. Nove watched as her opponent leaned backwards and did a flip kick, catching Nove in the small of her back and sending her backwards. "Very nice."
"Tch," Nove grimaced from the discomfort her hips were sending to her brain. "Well then, guess I don't have a choice, Jet Edge!" He called while pulling out a gem that was similar to Subaru, Ginga and Quint's devices in looks.
"Set up!"
It had been a gift to her after the events that ended six months ago. Quint never wanted to find out that her daughters had gotten hurt simply because they didn't have a device and a barrier jacket to protect them.
Nove wasn't sure she would ever get used to being naked from the transformation, even if it was only for a brief moment as a single body suit wrapped around her torso, leaving her shoulders bare and going down to her hips, covering her rear and crotch instantly, a short-sleeved jacket covered her shoulders as her gun knuckle covered her right hand and her roller blades covered her feet, stockings ran from her feet up to the middle of her thighs before straps went across the front of her legs up to the belt that snapped around her mid-section.
The Emperor nodded at Nove's change of appearance. "Good, I do not wish to harm you too much."
Nove snorted at her. "You want to test your strength against people? Why pick a fight with random strangers? Why not join an arena or something?"
The Emperor sighed softly. "It's not that, while I wish to prove myself, I do not wish to become famous for doing so."
"So, you break the law to do that?" Nove asked, anger starting to boil up. "Listen, if you want to fight with me, that's fine, but just stop picking fights with random people. One day that'll get you killed."
"If that is the case, then I deserve it." Nove twitched as she heard that.
"Stupid brawling idiot!" Nove growled at the Emperor. "Just stop this! Come with me, I'll show you nice places where you can fight to your hearts content and get stronger at the same time."
"Thank you for your kindness, but," the Emperor suddenly dashed forward so fast that Nove was hard pressed to follow the movements, "the answers I want are not to be found on a public stage!" A punch to Nove's face had her staggering back and the follow-up punch to Nove's stomach had her coughing hard. Jumping up and back, Nove grimaced and rubbed her stomach while landing on the ground some feet away from her opponent. "The kings of Ancient Belka, I must prove to be their superior, so that destruction can never come again to the land around me."
Nove twitched and glared at the Emperor. "That's it? Seriously? Ancient Belka's long dead, and the remnants that still exist are trying to live a peaceful life! What gives you the right to try and disrupt that?!" Nove rushed in at the Emperor, punching forward and grimacing as the Emperor managed to punch with enough force to drive her back.
"Then I must test the kings. If they are weak, then they shall perish."
"YOU IDIOT!" Nove screamed, finally losing her temper. "Don't you dare think for one moment that you'll be able to hurt those two!" She pointed her Gun Knuckle at the Emperor, who's eyes widened as a blue gas was launched from Nove's weapon. Jumping back as the gas expanded, Nove's opponent was suddenly jerked backwards as Nove's feet slammed into their stomach as Nove drove them both to the ground with a loud crash.
The Emperor grimaced in pain and shock, only to snap their eyes open and stare at Nove, who was blushing and jumped off her opponent. "You... You just..."
"Ah, sorry about that, my hand slipped, didn't mean to grab you between the legs." Nove's face was almost as red as her hair. "Well, I was curious if you were a boy or a girl, but now I have my answer."
"That answer may not be the one you think it is." The Emperor stood up and took a deep breath to try and calm down, as well as get rid of the blush that happened because of Nove's accidental groping. "I think I shall have to end this."
"Heh..." Nove smirked and rushed in. "It's not that simple!" Jumping up, the redhead spun and connected with her green haired opponent's arm, only to flip over the Emperor and smirk as she looked at her opponent's surprised face. Putting both hands on the ground, Nove spread her legs and rotated, spinning her body fast enough that her opponent was unable to do anything but roll away when Nove's legs knocked her opponent to the ground. Nove continued to spin until she was standing on her hands, her legs were still spread for balance as Nove walked forward on her hands, spinning her body as the Emperor got up and was forced to block her attacks.
"What is this?" Nove ignored the question as she suddenly rolled forward and slammed an elbow into the Emperor's face, knocking her opponent back.
"Capoeira," Nove smirked as she stood up and looked at her downed opponent. "Well, a variant of it anyway, so, do you give up?" She sighed as her opponent stood up with narrowed eyes. "Look, it doesn't matter, I'm going to beat you, so..."
"Is that a fact?" The Emperor said and shifted stances again. "I thank you for teaching me so much in this fight. I have a long way to go before I am the best, but I shall win now."
Nove narrowed her eyes and jumped up into the air before diving downwards with a kick. "You really think so? You little, over-confident..." She growled as her foot clipped the shoulder of the Emperor, who merely twisted away from the blow. "What the?" Nove's eyes widened as she found herself on the ground, wrapped up in chains.
"I told you, I was going to win... Take the name "Ingvalt" to heart as I win." Nove watched in some horror as Ignvalt's fist was pulled back with energy spiraling around it. "Hao... Dan... Ku..." Nove's eyes widened as an extremely powerful punch struck her in the stomach, her tongue hung out of her mouth as all the air was driven out of her lungs with one strike. "KEN!"
The last thing Nove knew was a powerful build up energy struck her body from that fist, exploding outwards and destroying her outfit, leaving her naked as she hit the ground and bounced away from Ingvalt before crashing into a fence rail.
Looking at Nove's naked form, Ingvalt turned and walked away. "You were very strong, to force me to use that technique..." Still, it wasn't perfected yet. After all, Nove shouldn't have ended up naked like that.
Spoiler for Notes:
I didn't mention Ingvalt's gender on purpose.
Also, it's been awhile since anyone lost their clothes in a fight.
Me: Whoa! A Relic Control Device for Vivio... Nice. I bet she's alot more tougher than in the canon in terms of durability and endurance.
Odin: Sure?
Me: Just a speculation. Which I wish it came thru.
Odin: Before anyone wonders, there's no gender bending curse happened here. Since this is not on Earth nor no way near a certain cursed pools in China.
Ranma: What the hell are you saying, you dummy!?
Odin: *Cast Watera at Ranma.* Are you saying something?
Ranma-Onna: Why you!?
Val: Not another one....
Mariemeia: At least Nove is NOT a one hit wonder.
Fate: Hey! Don't rubbed that my barrier jacket weakens when I enter Shin Sonic form.
Mariemeia: At least be a two or three hit wonder then, Fate.
Odin: We have a Double Entendre there, right?
Val: I dunno, Odin.
Odin: Just checking.

Location: Somewhere over the rainbow, in a house dropped on an ugly, old woman.
And for this weekend, we have... by special request from a couple of people who wanted to see me finish it...
The Perils of Lost Logia II: The 2nd Cumming
Chapter 5: Thrilling Climax
And I can't post or link to it here, so I'll just say it is in the usual place on mediaminer. If you can't find it, you can PM me or someone you think who knows for a link. Reminder that it's NSFW, and NSFHIG (Not Safe For Humanity In General).
But now, I am free! This horrible, badly punned and written fic is now done! And much like Yuuno, I think I've lost all desire for sex. Hrmmm....
For those curious, I plan to finish up the last chapter of Whipped soon.
I haven't abandoned The Fate Files, either. The first case will have 3 chapters, and I want to at least get those out, while writing G-Squad and Mirror. Can't say which will come next week, though...

Ack, I really need to get an appointment with my shrink after reading chapter 5 . You really did a good job on scarring me for life.
I will never be able to see the Yagami in an innocent light ever again.
Panting, Ingvalt grimaced in pain and ducked into an alley. "Must have... Hit me... Harder than I thought she did." There was a flash of light and Ingvalt shrank to reveal a young child with green hair in black and white clothing. "What was that attack?"
A moment later, the child was on the ground and out cold.
(---)
"Are you okay?"
"I can't move, I feel like I'm going to throw up if I do anything more than breathe and I'm butt naked. Of course I'm not okay." Nove couldn't be too upset at Jet Edge, it was just trying to help after all. "Make a call to Subaru, Ginga or Teana for me." She knew her mother was going to find out, but she really didn't want her mom to come and pick her up. And who knew what the younger two kids would say to her when they found out.
Though, she suspected that her dad would be amused more than anything else when he found out.
A few seconds later, a screen popped up in front of Nove's face. "Subaru... I..."
"NOVE!" Subaru's eyes widened as she looked at her younger sister. "What happened to you?!"
"Got into a fight, got beat up, ended up naked... And I can't move right now." The redhead gave Subaru a flat stare. "Can you come pick me up? And bring a blanket. I kind of don't want people to see me like this."
"I'll be there soon!" Nove sighed as the screen turned off and closed her eyes. She just hoped that no one came by and got a free show. She doubted she could live it down.
Five minutes later, Nove opened her eyes as she heard Subaru's voice. "Hey." She groaned as Subaru put a blanket over her. "Damn, what the hell kind of punch was I hit with?"
"I'm not sure." Subaru helped Nove up while keeping the blanket over her. "Where'd your assailant go?" She looked around, not seeing anyone.
"Up for carrying two people?" Nove asked, smirking at Subaru, who just nodded slowly.
(---)
Nove, in a loose fitting shirt and shorts, smirked as the child in front of her started to stir awake. "Well, good evening, Emperor Ingvalt..." When the child's eyes widened, she laughed before wincing and groaning. "Urgh, okay, whatever you hit me with, hurts... Einhart Stratos."
Blue and purple eyes stared at the redhead in shock. "How did..?" Einhart started to ask, but was cut off as Nove flicked a small plastic card at her.
"If you're going to do anymore brawling in the streets, I really suggest you don't carry your school I.D. with you." Nove rolled onto her back and groaned. "I have two questions for you. One, why are you trying to prove your strength like that?"
Einhart looked away and bit her lower lip. "Weakness is a sin, if you're weak, you can't protect anyone." Her eyes widened as Nove laughed at her. "What? It's true!"
Nove ignored the hurt and angry look in Einhart's eyes. "You should meet my other sisters... They'd probably disagree with you."
"How did you find me?"
Nove closed her eyes and took a deep breath as the pain finally started to subside from her body. "Remember that blue gas I shot at you?"
"How could I forget?" Einhart asked as the memory of that attack came back.
"Yeah, well, you should know that the gas was loaded with micro-tracers that cling to your clothes, skin and hair." Nove couldn't help but grin as Einhart stared at her in shock. "And the gas is pretty similar to sleeping gas, but it takes a few minutes to kick in."
Einhart twitched and glared at Nove as she spun on the bed to look at her more fully. "That was a dirty trick."
"If it wasn't a street fight like it was, I wouldn't have used it." Nove sighed at her. "Listen, Einhart, you need to stop with what you were doing before you get hurt." Einhart mumbled something that Nove didn't quite catch, causing the cyborg to sigh. "What was that?"
"I said that I wouldn't get taken by surprise again. After all, people don't really know it's me when I fight them."
"Oh yeah!" Nove shifted on the bed so that she was laying on her side. "Tell me something, just why do you use transformation magic to turn into an adult guy?"
Einhart blinked at the question like it was the dumbest thing she had ever heard. "While I can become an adult female, I figured that it would not be hard for people to know who I was if I went from a child to what I would look like as an adult, so I decided to fight all of my street fights as an adult male so no one could figure out who I was."
"Well, you probably should make your adult form have shorter hair if that's the case then," a new voice spoke up and Einhart gasped as she spun around, seeing an older teenager with short purple hair standing at the doorway. "Nove couldn't even tell if you were a boy or a girl until she..."
"Subaru!" Nove growled as she and Einhart both turned red from the memory. "Not exactly something I want to think about... But, how did you get it to be so accurate?"
Einhart looked at Nove and shrugged. "The library has lots of books, and there's the internet." She wondered why both Nove and Subaru just groaned at the answer.
(---)
"So," the older woman said as she looked at Einhart, "you're the one who beat my daughter up?" For someone who actually managed to hurt Nove so badly, the girl was rather fidgety. When she nodded, the woman sighed softly. "Well, I guess I need to increase her training. I mean, really!" She walked off towards Nove's room. "Losing in a street fight! I thought I taught you better!"
"Don't worry about mom, she can get like that when martial arts comes up." Another girl, this one was almost a carbon copy of the woman who ran off, minus a few stress lines and other indicators of age. "My name's Ginga Nakajima, you beat up Nove, Subaru brought you home, and you just met my mother, Quint Nakajima." She was glad that Aston and Cecilia were asleep right now. "Dad's not around, but..." She trailed off as she heard the door to the outside close. "Hey, Teana," she waved without looking over her shoulder.
"Ginga." Teana nodded as she walked into the kitchen. "Urgh, what a day..." She raised an eyebrow as she saw Einhart looking at her. "Subaru, did you bring home another orphan?"
"Oh, come on, Tea!" Subaru stuck her tongue out at the redhead. "I didn't do anything of the sort."
Teana sighed and nodded before smiling at Einhart. "My name is Teana Lanster, and you are?"
"Einhart Stratos." The girl replied, grabbing her dress and bending at the knees slightly. Seeing that, Subaru, Ginga and Teana all had one thought running through their heads at that moment.
'Too cute.'
Ginga shook her head and looked at Einhart and then at Subaru. "So, Subaru, what are you going to do with her? She was picking fights in public, we're just lucky no one's been too badly hurt."
"OWWW! MOM!" Nove's voice was heard coming from her room.
"Like I said, too badly hurt," Ginga ignored the yell. "Still, it's been bad enough that the police are asking questions about who's been causing fights."
"It's mostly a domestic issue, but," Subaru looked at Teana, who nodded to her.
"I'll see what I can do, but I don't think she'll get into too much trouble," Teana smirked at Einhart, who was looking back and forth silently, "after all, who wants to admit that they got beaten up by a little kid?" Teana sweat-dropped before clearing her throat, "at least a little kid that hasn't saved a few worlds before she was fourteen."
Both Ginga and Subaru nodded at that. "Better." After all, Ginga still had an urge to beat Nanoha up at times, she knew that she'd never be able to defeat the redhead in combat. And Subaru?
Well, she still idolized Yuuno and he had been there with Nanoha in every major case after all.
Teana idly wondered what would happen if Nanoha or Yuuno knew what Ginga and Subaru thought about them. She then shrugged it off and just figured they would either ignore it or find it amusing.
"So, may I leave?" Einhart blinked when she saw Ginga smirk at her. "I guess not?"
"Well, you did beat up my little sister," Ginga's grin was almost predatory, "so, I think if you have to stay here overnight and wait for Nove to get better..."
"Yeah, that's fair," Teana nodded and smiled at Einhart. "And don't try sneaking out, okay? I'd really hate to have to track you down, okay?"
Einhart sweat-dropped but nodded. Oh well, she probably did deserve this for beating up that redhead after all.
Spoiler for Author Notes:
Told you there was a reason for it.
