Spoiler for Hail to the Chief:
Impossible.
She was a Combat Cyborg, born and bred for warfare, capable of surpassing an S-ranked mage. Without using her full abilities, she and her sister had maintained the advantage in their short duel against Fate Testarossa Harlaown. And when Fate's young apprentice had tried to counterattack, she had been the one to strike him down, taking him out with no problems: one blow that had sent Erio Mondial crashing into the water.
Then he appeared.
His visage was a terrifying sight. A giant clad in bulky green armor, his face hidden by a reflective gold-tinted visor, he fell from the sky, slamming into her and falling down to the ground, knocking her weapons from her hands and grasping on to her. She gaspes as her breath was forced out of her lungs, too shocked to take a single gulp of air, her ribs hurting and bruised, as the green-clad man fell with her, before letting go and kicking her into the ground, landing on top of her, using her body to break his fall, leaping off her and pulling out a rifle device, attempting to fire... only for his Device to refuse to function, the AMF density too strong for him to use magic.
He must be weak, she thought. I still have a-
That was when he appeared before her again, kicking her up into the air, snatching her and slamming her to the ground, somehow dislocating her joints by the time her face hit the ground. She screamed involuntarily in pain, as he produced a set of physical restraints and tied her legs and hands together, before, and drawing a strange weapon and firing it into her legs; large spikes nailing her to the concrete. For the coup de grace he drew a pistol and fired it behind her knees, the explosive rounds shatterring her kneecaps, crippling her, and she screamed and wept in pain and fear and loss: Oh my legs i don't want to be crippled help me help me please stop someone help me-
Then a voice, cold and dangerous, spoke, chilling her to the core.
"Leave my sister alone."
"I can't do that," spoke the green-clad man. "Releasing a captured prisoner is against my duty."
"Then I'll just take her by force. Tell me who you are."
"I am Master Chief Sierra-117. You are ordered to drop your weapons and surrender, or I will kill you."
"So this is what the high and mighty TSAB has come to?" snarled Tre, and Sette felt fear in her heart as she heard the Master Chief...the Demon... speak.
"I'm not TSAB."
And with that, he lunged forward, faster than both Sette and Tre expected, of a man wearing such heavy armor, his elbow thrus driving the wind from Tre's lungs in an explosive "Ooof!", him throwing her over his shoulder to the ground, hard enough to actually form an impact crater.
"I am a SPARTAN."
"This is no man. It's a demon," whispered Sette, eyes wide and awake despite the pain.
HOLY SHI-
"Then he appeared"
The GAR level on this piece is OVER 9000!!!!!! Damn, MC really makes the lesser Numbers quiver in terror

reminds me of all the Legion members that cried when Fate's new jacket was revealed. I remember looking around and going 'whats wrong with it? it looks awesome!'
Hell, when Sonic Form was brought back I was the one of the very few going 'Wow, amazing, she's wielding sword chucks! Go go fighter!' instead of oggling the Barrier Jacket.
Yup, while nice to look at Fate's old BJ wasn't exactly my taste, now older Fate's BJ with Zettai Ryouiki was more like it
And I was in the same boat over the swords as well, although I was more on the "OMG FATE IS A BANPREIOS!!!" crowd

As for the original list I don’t even think I kept it. Like I said I banged it out in like 10 minutes when I was rather tired. I’d written out the effects of all the spells first then I just went and got some random names at the end. I’m racking my brain for what that last one is supposed to mean and… I can’t remember, at all. I think the moral here might be not to write spell lists after being awake for around 18 to 20 hours...
Ok
But if you remember or you have a new name for it... pleas feel free to contact me.

Anyway, here it is. Keroko's StrikerS summary. Now excuse me while I go to sleep.
Nice. I like how the whole 'promise of flying' was linked onwards. And the Teana and Vivio links were well-done as well.
Frankly, the one thing that I don't like (( I don't think I've mentioned this before )) was how Keroko was already an instructor at 9, directly after Yami no Sho. I believe even Nanoha must've mustered up a good few years of experience before she could become one.

I personally doubt they’ve got much on something like an F-22… Plus energy is all that really matters in a dogfight
Maneuverability isn’t necessarily what matters; in fact maneuverability is acutally unimportant in most modern air combat doctrines. Thrust, climb rate, and energy management matter FAR more. After all an aerobatic stunt plane could outturn and outmaneuver an F-15 (at very low speed), but even if both only had a gun the F-15 would win almost every time for one simple reason.
Energy.
Energy is what matters in a dogfight, if you have more energy you have an advantage, energy let’s you do all sorts of things to counter superior enemy maneuverability rolls, loops, or simply pulling away, if you have a higher rate of roll then you’ve got him totally trounced. Hell more thrust even let’s you turn better, turns bleed speed and once engaged in a turn the guy that can hold it longer without losing speed has the advantage so even in a turning fight having more thrust is to your advantage as you can hold the turn longer and at maximum bank.
The other factor is roll rate in fact ever aerobatic maneuver besides a loop begins with a roll. If you can roll faster then your enemy you can react faster since you can get to maximum bank and start pulling sooner and change your direction faster as well. Modern fighters can spin like tops on their long axis…
With a pair of thrust vectoring engines one would expect something like an F-22 to do this even better. This vid also shows a rather staggering rate of climb for the F-16, again the Raptor is said to be something like a “Rocket Ship” compared to these forth generation fighters.
Basiclly Boom and Zoom trounces Turn and Burn just look at some of the top dog fighters of the last 100 years:
The F6F Hellcat
The F-4 Phantom
The Mirage Series
The F-15
And most recently the F-22
One thing they all had in common was that during their heyday they had more POWER then their opponents, and just as often their opponents were technically more maneuverable
Hellcat vs. Zero
F4s vs Mig 17, 19s, and 21s
Mirages verses the same
F-15 vs. many of the same, although by this time Russia and wised up and was fielding its own twin engine heavies with allot of thrust.
The F-22 vs. most modern “super maneuverable aircraft” (which still can’t break mach 1 with a useful combat payload)
The F-22 in particular is enlightening, most of what you hear in the news is about how stealthy it is, but allot of what you read about in exercises is how damn powerful it is. It’s not often mentioned but the F-22 flies tens of thousands of feet higher and hundreds of miles and hour faster then most fighters, this is a HUGE advantage. Even if we ignored stealth it allows them to dictate when a battle happens, increases their weapons range, lower fuel consumption, and gives them more options in a dogfight. That height in this case acutally probably renders them pretty much invulnerable we never see a Simoun climb to anywhere NEAR 60,000+ thousand feet from what I recall. In any case how are you supposed to fight something that can just level its nose throttle up and outpace you on dry thrust while you have you’re throttle is at the firewall? It also accelerates at a frightening pace as well as having a high top end speed. In fact the F-22 moves so fast that when engaging in mock dogfights they’ve declared that the “no entry” bubble around it is to be 1,000 meters instead of the normal 500 since it can change direction and close with you so quickly.
Of coruse if it somehow DID get into a close fight it would hardly he helpless…
The back flip in particular is pretty fucking impressive…
Another thing that matters far more then maneuverability is sensors, modern aircraft live and die by their avionics. You’re average Pilot in Simoun has to rely on his eyes for targeting, okay inside the visual arena, but what if the enemy is launching missiles from 50+ Kilometers? (fuck what if they WILL be). They didn’t even have radios at first! Meanwhile the F-22 has something bordering on weak AI managing it's sensor systems to produce a composite image that's easy to read and provides a wealth of tactical data. For instance a F-22 pilot can put a cursor on the icon for a friendly (or quite possibly enemy) aircraft and tell what they’re shooting at just by looking at what their radars are doing! Raptor pilots also talk to each other very little during combat one Air Force General going as far as too call it “spooky” in fact. The reason is that the data-linking between them is so tight that they simply don’t need to communicate verbally much anymore as “Hal” is updating and displaying all the relevant combat data they could want friendly and enemy positions (and type), altitude, air speed, current targets for all craft, etc.
And it can do this at ranges over 100 miles with planned upgrades pushing this to potentially over 200. F-22 Radar is so good that even when weapons are gone they normally hang around to continue feeding targeting information to other units in the flight as a mini AWACS. It’s also planned to electronic attack capabilities to the system both in the form of jamming and as a kind of “microwave electronic death ray” that could overload enemy sensors frying them permanently.
Modern Radars have look down shot down capabilities against cruise missiles and Raptor also tracked helicopters, in Alaska, while at altitude so going low is no defense either. Detecting a Simon, no matter what it’s doing is childs play, hell with upgrades it could quite possible use SAR to map the ground so even LANDING wouldn’t protect it. Modern Infrared Search and Track systems (a possible upgrade) can also spot heat signatures from many kilometers away through clouds and smoke, including people on the ground.
Once the enemy is found killing them won’t be an issue. Modern AAMs are expected to be able to reliably intercept OTHER (admittedly somewhat larger) missiles moving at speeds possibly in excessive of mach one, at low altitude, in clutter, and possibly performing defensive maneuvers. Hitting a Simon would be like plinking target drones… acutally not quite the drones probably put up more of a fight…
An AMRAAM is closing at Mach 4 at that speed its covering almost a mile a second. By the time you could even see it clearly (modern missiles all have low to no smoke engines and are painted in fairly low visibility color schemes) it would be probably less then 2 or 3 seconds from impact, you wouldn’t even have time to mutter “oh shit” before it ruined your shit. The first indication they’d probably have they’re being attacked is when the entire flight suddenly starts exploding.
So clearly they ain’t gonna fight them conventionally, but even their magic isn’t going to save them, first off it’s short range that’s shown all the time as they always approach to visual range before attempting it. Plus you can disrupt it by just flying through the trails frankly the shock front coming off a Raptor blasting past at Mach 1.5+ would probably disperse entire patterns instantly of coruse even attempting to write the pattern to start with would likely be suicide as the Jet pilot could simply glance at the bizarrely but slowly maneuver craft and blow them out of the sky…
Compared to even a fighter from say the 70s a 5th Generation Machine is a monster compared to people operating at around 1930s tech level it’s a screaming flame spewing demon from the darkest pits of hell. F-22 get Kill ratios of hundreds to ones… against modern F-15 and 16s. Frankly say two squadrons of F-22s, an AWCAS and a few tankers with a good base and a supply of missiles and SDBs could probably easily win the Battle of Britain and indeed the air war in general in a matter of months. Yes 20ish fighters and a few support craft could win the air war in Europe IMO. That should tell you something about the level of technological lopsidedness working here one which is easily the most drastic of any area compared to the past. Compounding all this is the fact that, at least in my universe, the constant air warfare means that most aircraft in Ace Combat have been upgraded out the ass and pretty much anything that was purposed for a fighter at one time has probably been done there (see the presence of the FB-22 in AC5). So these Raptors are acutally more like "Super Raptors with all the purposed upgrades (IRST, side scanning radars, upgraded main radars, helmet sights, etc) installed in them. Then we get into the fact both sides have a limited, but growing number of sixth generation fighter aircraft...
Anyway it really wasn’t going to be so much Simoun vs. Ace Combat as that would just be a slaughter it was more like Ace Combat Factions start fighting each other on Simoun's planet and the CC Simon characters get caught in the middle again. Though the Ace Combat side is acutally members of a coalition, they just provide most of the air power and so take center stage. We also have BF2142 EU providing support in the form of Titan aircraft carriers, Mithril with Mecha, and Act of War Direct actions providing more conventional (and not) troops, and then part way through both sides began to field macross variable fighters... and then things got really messy.
I totally think about this shit entirely too much.
Not at all.
But haven't you said this before? Or was it someone else? Or was it in another forum? This whole 'energy pisses all over maneuverability" thing.
But regardless, there are new enlightening points.

Hell, when Sonic Form was brought back I was the one of the very few going 'Wow, amazing, she's wielding sword chucks! Go go fighter!' instead of oggling the Barrier Jacket.
Frankly, her Sonic Form's designs, for some reason, doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. Her A's ones were good imo, but somehow her StrikerS Sonic Form just... has that little asthetics change that ruins the feeling. I dunno if it's the colors, the skirt, or something. But her regular jacket was indeed very impressive.

Frankly, the one thing that I don't like (( I don't think I've mentioned this before )) was how Keroko was already an instructor at 9, directly after Yami no Sho. I believe even Nanoha must've mustered up a good few years of experience before she could become one.
Eh? *looks back* Ah, now I see, writing mistake. I suppose they can slip through after writing for ten hours. The original line would have been '10 years have passed' but since I felt I had to describe the airport incident, it changed to 6. I just forgot to edit Rogue Squadron's six years to two years. Thanks for picking that one out.
Hmm, this makes me wonder, just when did Nanoha become an instructor? I know she became an S-rank mage seven years before StrikerS, but when did she become an instructor? I may need to tweak the years a bit more based on that...

But regardless, there are new enlightening points.
I believe that it was said before, only against me, as I was convinced manouverabillity was superior in dogfights.

Probably the combination of skirt/shorter leggings/larger assets. At least that's what made me go. "Yeah... okay, I guess the Fate fans are happy now..."
Fish can be good with sweet you know, just depends on what type of sweet you use (mayo is a good ingredient to use here)
But Sashimi in particular ?

Hehehehe.... I started at 3 PM... it's now almost 1 AM.... nearly 10 hours of watching StrikerS, writing, rewatching, writing, watching, correcting, writing, watching, writing, rewatching, writing, watching, correcting, writing, watching, writing, rewatching, writing, watching, correcting, writing, watching, writing, rewatching, writing, watching, correcting, writing, watching.....
Anyway, here it is. Keroko's StrikerS summary. Now excuse me while I go to sleep.
Spoiler for Nanoha StrikerS:
6 years have passed since the Yami no Sho incident. Keroko has been a successful instructor and leader of Rogue Squadron for two years now. The years of front-line service have hardened her skills, although not without their fare share of problems. When the four end up in the middle of a disaster at the airport, Keroko aid in the rescue of the people trapped inside the building. After the disaster, Hayate proposes the forming of a special unit, Keroko all too readily agrees with Nanoha and Fate that they won’t be left out of such a unit.
Four years later, the forming of the unit is entering its final stages. Keroko resigns as Commanding Officer of Rogue Squadron, giving the position to her second in command, Wes Janson. During the discussion of Subaru and Tiana’s transfer into the unit, Fate notes that aside from her giving advice, Tiana might benefit from training under Keroko. This startles Tiana, as she hadn’t heard that Keroko, whom she idolizes, would be transferring to this unit. Afterwards, Tiana stumbles upon Keroko, who was heading to meet with Fate and Nanoha. Tiana goes into an embarrased muttering fit, while Keroko notes that she knew they would meet again. Tiana notices that the badge of Rogue Squadron’s Commanding Officer on Keroko’s right arm that was formerly blue is now red, signifying her as a former Rogue. She asks if its true that Keroko has transferred to unit six, Keroko confirms it, and when Tiana asks why Keroko answers that a friend called for her help. She then says that she is looking forward to see how much Tiana has grown.
Keroko then meets up with Nanoha and Fate as they head of home. Nanoha looks up the files of Erio and Caro, Fate is a bit worried, but Keroko assures her that it will be fine, and that they will train them to be able to handle anything the future will throw at them.
The next day, after changing uniforms, Nanoha, Fate and Keroko go to meet with Hayate, who although happy that they are all here, wonders if Keroko is alright with this. Keroko in return assures Hayate that Rogue Squadron is now a fully operational unit, and that she is not really needed anymore.
After a short conversation with Griffith, the group goes to meet their new unit. After the meeting Keroko and Tesla head back inside the base together to gather intel on their enemies. They discuss the enemies possible motives, methods and where and how they may move next. Tesla notes how Keroko seems to be thinking more in advance these days, as opposed to her purely impulsive younger self. Keroko, slightly embarrassed by the compliment, notes that it was needed as the leader of a unit, and that it was mostly thanks to Tesla that she grew.
The following days are spend with Nanoha and Keroko training the forwards. Sometimes together, one or the other. On the day the forwards received their devices, it was Keroko’s turn to observe, summarize and log the training. After the alarm went of, signaling the arrival of a group of gadgets, the group jumped aboard the heli and set course for the berserk train. With the combined power of Nanoha, Fate and Keroko, air superiority is quickly gained.
After the first successful mission, the group returns to training. With Vita joining the fray, training starts to become more specialized. Keroko switches between trainees often, teaching Subaru the finer points of hand-to-hand combat, training Tia in mass-control and targeting and learning Erio and Caro how to recognize incoming threats and avoid them. After training Keroko joins Fate and Shari in anlalysing the remains of the Gadgets. When Fate discovers that the drones were created by Scaglietti, Shari asks Keroko if she has ever encountered him during her time in Rogue Squadron. Keroko answers that she has only heard of him, as Rogue Squadron usually send on larger scale missions, not missions to capture a single person. As they drive back to the headquarters, Fate tells them what they know of Scaglietti. Keroko notes that it isn’t much, to which Fate replies that it’s all they have. Keroko then returns that those kinds of people are usually the most dangerous.
When RF6’s next mission is to secure the auction in Hotel Augusta, Keroko joins Hayate, Fate and Nanoha inside the hotel. After the gadget’s attack, Nanoha and Keroko have a short conversation about who of them should go talk to Tiana. In the end, they decide that after Vita’s scolding, being scolded by her idol may do more harm then good, and Nanoha sets of to have a talk with Tiana. Keroko meanwhile goes to meet with Yuuno before she gets called to work again.
Later on, Vita asks whether something happened in Tiana’s past. The history of Tiana’s brother, and how he was labeled a failure, is told. Vita wonders if this isn’t exactly up Keroko’s alley, considering her experience with Rogue Squadron. But Keroko says that its not that simple, while its true that Rogue Squadron existed of mages that were considered useless by most, it was always those mages that were the ones that were scorned. Tiana fights to prove that her brother wasn’t useless. Fighting to prove yourself and fighting to prove a legacy are two different things. She concludes it by saying that in the end, Tiana should learn what could happen if she screws up at the wrong time. One way or another.
The next day, training ends with a 2-on-1 mock battle. While Keroko, Vita, Erio and Caro observe, Fate comes running. While they discuss Nanoha’s training techniques, Keroko remains silent, instead observing the battle bellow. As Subaru and Tiana begin to use dangerous maneuvers, Keroko mumbles that it’s as she thought. When Fate presses for details, Keroko tells them to keep watching. She also says that she hopes that Nanoha has the heart to do what needs to be done next.
In the end, Tiana was shot down and ended up in the infirmary. When the alarm went of, Tiana was there with the others, and after getting hit by Signum, Keroko tells Nanoha to get on board and deal with the situation on her side, she would handle this side.
When Subaru asks whether it is wrong to strive to become stronger your way, Keroko responds that there are times when it is. When pressed, Shari arrives and takes the forwards on a steamcourse through Nanoha’s past. Among the details, she also mentions Keroko’s incident with Lotte. Keroko then explains the details behind her physical situation, and the fact that Nanoha risked her life in getting her back.
Afterwards, Keroko joins Tiana at the shore, Tiana rhetorically asks whether all of this was true. Keroko confirms it, but also mentions that she herself is even worse then Nanoha. Tiana is surprised, and Keroko tells Tiana that she landed in the hospital for overdoing it at least 3 times. She also explains that the last time was the worst, and the worried faces of those she cared about made her realize that overdoing it for the good cause doesn’t always end well. Keroko asks Tiana what she is fighting for, and why she is so anxious to prove herself. Tiana answers truthfully that she wants to prove that her brother was not a failure. Keroko tells Tiana that she was fighting with a wrong goal. You can’t simply prove something like that while fighting for a legacy. Trying to become someone you’re not is impossible. She should stop trying to fight for her brother, and start fighting for herself. Tiana protests that she doesn’t want her brother to be seen as a failure by everyone, to which Keroko tells her he isn’t. Keroko explains the history behind Rogue Squadron, how those who were called failures became heroes. She tells Tiana that if her brother was alive, and people would still call him a failure, he would be flying in that Squadron right now. Keroko tells Tiana that she was never able to meet or train with her brother, and prove that he was a great mage, but now she has a chance to train with Tiana, and prove that she is a great mage. Tiana should become stronger as Tiana, not Lanster. Tiana apologizes for her behavior, to which Keroko says that she is not the one Tiana should be apologizing to. When Tiana questionly looks up, Keroko nudges her head to her side, where Nanoha is walking towards the two. Keroko leaves the two alone.
The next few days are spent training, though Tiana was still somewhat hesitant to fight for her own dreams. One evening while returning from training she asks Keroko whether she will be able to fly someday. Keroko promises her that she will on day learn to fly, and they will fly the sky together. Eventually it was decided that the test limiters of the forwards’ devices could be removed. The forwards were given the rest of the day off while the remaining members enjoyed a calm day standing by on HQ. As the subject shifted to Regius, Keroko comments that he was one of the greatest opposition to Rogue Squadron’s activities, stating that a unit of mages that have already showed to be unreliable should not be allowed such important tasks. Tesla then comments that keroko was lucky that Regius held no say over the Air Forces, to which Keroko agrees. Later on Nanoha, Keroko and Fate encounter Signum and Vita, who are about to head out to the TSAB. When Keroko asks about Tesla, Signum tells her that Tesla is already there, as they are discussing the logistics of the matter first.
When the forwards strike alarm and the group moves out, it doesn’t take long for the gadgets to arrive. While Nanoha and Fate have some difficulty against the drones mixed with illusions, Keroko fares slightly better. Her specialization in mass-targeting allows her to target every drone, which eliminates the need to differ between real unit and illusions. However, since she lacks range, she can’t cover the entire defensive line by herself. Fortunately, Hayate comes to the rescue and eliminates the gadgets with her long range artillery strikes.
Just when all seemed to be going well, an unknown enemy strikes at the heli. Nanoha manages to block, and Fate and Keroko pursue the new enemy. After a short but heavy chase, the two unknown enemies are pinned between Nanoha and Fate’s attacks. Unfortunately, they manage to escape.
The next day, after evading a certain amount of trouble with a certain young girl they picked up, Nanoha, Fate and Keroko head off to the Saint Church. Keroko, having met Carim before, was considerably more comfortable then Nanoha and Fate. Though that was easily settled, after which they continue to discuss Carim’s ability and the resulting prophesy. Later during the conversation, they come to discuss the situation of the TSAB defenses, and how Regius refuses to take the prophesy seriously and take measures. That was the true reason for forming RF6, as a last line of defense until help can arrive in case of trouble. Carim notes that while it is a dangerous and inglorious mission, she still asks for their help. Keroko states that she’s had worse then this, and Nanoha and Fate agree to help as well.
The next day, Keroko arrives home just in time to hear Subaru’s rather blunt suggestion to Vivio. After calming Vivio down and starting lunch, Vivio notes how much Keroko and Nanoha look alike. Nanoha says it’s natural, as they are sisters after all. Vivio asks if that makes Keroko her mama as well, to which Keroko jokingly says why not, never expecting to be taken seriously. Once the word was out, however, she was stuck with Vivio. Literally, as Vivio clung to her side.
Another day, another training. This time joined by Ginga. After a now ‘fair’ 5-vs-5 (depending on your point of view) forwards versus instructors match, Vivio arrived. After a bit of trouble with Vivio falling down, during which Keroko agreed with Nanoha rather then Fate, the group headed of for lunch. Later that night the four Aces were together discussing the latest part of the prophecy. They concluded that the chance that the headquarters would be attacked during the conference is great, unfortunately, only four people of RF6 could be allowed inside. Still, they would figure something out.
Seven days later, the conference is starting, and RF6 is departing. During patrol, the captains try to figure out why someone would try a terrorist attack on the TSAB. Nanoha theorizes that a weapons merchant may use it to show off; Vita says the risks are too great for such a thing, but Keroko states that she has seen madman try far more insane stunts then this.
As the attacks start, Nanoha thinks up a plan based on their old Ground Force Training Course. Keroko reacts in surprise when fate says that they haven’t used it since, and notes that Rogue Squadron uses these kind of tricks all the time on commando missions. When Nanoha explains that they have to meet up with the forwards as fast as possible, Keroko already has the fastest route.
After meeting up with the forwards, Keroko goes into the air in an effort to regain air superiority. She flies up high to get out of the AMF radius, and calls in Rogue Squadron. Though the AMF still messes with the transmission, Rogue Squadron’s home base, the dimensional ship Normandy, was close enough to receive the transmission, thanks to the actions of Wes, who stationed the ship close to Mid-Childa against orders.
With the Rogues quickly on the scene, and Keroko taking temporary command, they begin a desperate attempt to shoot the gadgets from the sky. But with the gadgets sheer numbers and Keroko still limited, the attempt becomes a slow one. In the end, they failed to clear the skies before Jail unfolded the next phase of his plan.
The day after the attack, Keroko feels an old anger resurfacing. Her anger at discovering what happened to Vivio spark the dormant powers inside of her, further increasing her rage. Knowing that she is about to seriously injure people if she doesn’t keep herself occupied, she throws herself into recovery work, pausing only to listen to Genya’s explanation of sentoukijin before throwing herself back into work again. Only when night falls does Keroko return, battered and dirty, only to find a distressed Nanoha crying on Fate’s shoulder. Keroko goes to support her sister, hugging her from behind and telling her that they will find Vivio at all costs. When Fate telepathically asks what happened to her, Keroko explains that she had to keep herself busy, otherwise she’d be blowing up whatever was close. Fate then thinks to herself that everyone must be feeling hurt after today.
The following day during the meeting, Hayate lays down the strategy. Keroko tells Hayate that Wes contacted her, and told her that Rogue Squadron is ready to move at even the slightest call. Hayate asks whether that won’t become a problem for the Rogues, to which Keroko answers that Rogue Squadron has always been a unit to give credit to their name.
The day progresses, the plans continue, but just as the key to everything begins to become clear, Jail initiates the next stage of his plan. Activating Ancient Belka’s most powerful weapon, the Cradle. As the scenes of Vivio linked to the throne of the ancient ship are transmitted, Keroko feels a resurge of hatred, and clenches her fist, digging her nails into her palms in a desperate attempt to retain some semblance of calm while glaring at the screen, hoping to kill Jail with just her eyes.
At the next meeting, a new plan is set in motion. Keroko joins Hayate, Vita and Nanoha in the attack on the Cradle. On route to the ship, Nanoha, Fate and Keroko have a small chat on Limit Breaks, and both sides emplore one another not to use them. Keroko, too, is asked not to use her Limit Break. After all, she had promised not to use Etherial Mode ever again.
As the first line comes into sight, Keroko loosens the reins she had placed to hold back her rage, and tears into the enemy drones. Now no longer limited and utilizing the fast Lancer Mode, the Ace of the Skies shows her title as wave after wave of gadgets are destroyed.
As soon as a group of mages puncture a hole in the Cradles outer hull, Vita, Nanoha and Keroko boarded the Cradle. With the entire area saturated with AMF, the battle to get further became a slow one. When the call came to split up, Vita told Keroko to stay with Nanoha. The two groups split up, and Keroko and Nanoha headed for the throne room. The two storm through the corridors, obliterating everything in their path. Even Dieci is defeated in a single shot.
As the two break into the throne room, they are greeted by Quattro, who proceeds to taunt them. As soon as her hand reaches for Vivio, however, neither Keroko nor Nanoha waste any time blasting her. Unfortunately, they hit an illusion, and the real Quattro simply proceeds with the taunting, throwing on another level as she tells them of Vivio’s true power, and transforms her into a more mature version to fight against.
This transformed Vivio proves to be a tough opponent. Though not impossible to take down, both Keroko and Nanoha are reluctant to go full out. Nanoha tells Keroko to seek out Quattro, and see if stopping her will return Vivio to normal. Keroko objects, not willing to let Nanoha fight alone, but Nanoha tells her that it’s the only way. Keroko’s instincts and experience with various ship layouts will help her find Quattro faster, and she can hold back Vivio longer then Keroko can. Keroko sighs in defeat, and the two sisters give eachother a last high five before Keroko heads off. Unknown to Quattro, Nanoha slipped a wide area search spell in Keroko’s hand during the high five.
Keroko heads off to find Quattro, but Quattro herself is not unprepared. Keroko’s instincts and experience quickly put her on the right track to Quattro, but as she starts to get close, Quattro activates one of the Cradle’s most powerful defensive platforms. A large magically powered defensive android. Keroko is quickly overpowered by this ancient defensive beast, whose armor seems almost impenetrable, and Quattro taunts her that she will never be able to save Vivio at this rate.
In retrospect, this was probably Quattro’s biggest mistake, as Keroko snaps. Filled with a rage she has not felt in a long time, Keroko activates Ethereal Mode. Suddenly, alarms go off all over Quattro’s dashboard, as the Cradle’s defensive systems warns that there is a powerful ‘Aspekt Magier’ detected. Quattro wonders what that means until she notices Keroko, whom now bears black wings, a device that now resembles a cross between a mace and an axe, and emits a lot of magic.
The defensive program tries to do its work, but the enraged Keroko disables its attacks one after the other, eventually disarming the thing, pinning it to the floor and firing an Ion Cannon Breaker at point-blank range. With the cameras disabled in the area, Quattro assumes that the idiot blew herself up. In reality, Keroko survived, though looking absolutely battered and beaten. She maintains her consciousness, however, saying that she’s not done yet, and continues towards Quattro.
Quattro meanwhile is enjoying the spectacle of Nanoha desperately trying to make a stand against Vivio until Keroko reaches Quattro. A twitch of panic shoots through her as Vita destroys the reactor, but she quickly reasserts herself and tries to get the repair systems to work. She is interrupted by the sound of footsteps behind her, and turns around to see Keroko moving towards her. Keroko is badly battered, and certainly not in a condition to fight. Quattro realizes this, and asks Keroko how she plans to fight in that state. Keroko answers that fighting her was never part of the plan. When Quattro asks what she means, Keroko lifts one side of her coat, and a pink sphere of energy flies out. Realization shoots through Quattro as she figures out what happened. Carrying a Wide Area Search spellpart, Keroko effectively became a beacon for Nanoha to lock on to.
Quattro hopefully wonders how Nanoha is going to make it down here in time, before the scanners reveal Nanoha’s true intent. Her mind flashing back to the airport, Quattro realizes that Nanoha is going to blast through the walls. She desperately turns to Keroko, asking if she is crazy enough to fire when Keroko might get caught in the line of fire. Keroko simply smiles. Quattro tries to make one last desperate dash for the exit, but fails and the beam hits Quattro dead on. Keroko was smart enough to stay out of the blast radius, and as soon as Quattro falls unconscious, she leans back against the wall and slides down. As her eyes close, she finds herself wondering if she could get away with a little nap.
A loud thumping wakes her up quickly though, as she realizes people are still fighting. Climbing up through the hole created by Nanoha’s Divine Buster. Meanwhile above Nanoha and Vivio square off with tears in their eyes as Nanoha promises to save Vivio. As the two storm at eachother, Vivio throws a punch which Nanoha catches. However, unlike Nanoha, Vivio has another free hand. With her body acting on its own accord, Vivio can only watch in fright as her other fist charges with multi-color magical energy and launches for Nanoha’s face. A dull thump echoes, however, as the second fist is caught by a black gloved hand. Both Nanoha and Vivio stare in surprise as a battered Keroko catches the fist before it could reach its target. Black energy easily eats through the multi-colored energy. Keroko tells Vivio that she does not let family die, and Nanoha activates her bind. Keroko quickly makes her distance as Nanoha blasts the Relic out of Vivio’s body.
After a short reunion, alarms go off all over the ship. Hayate arrives just in time to become trapped in the high-density AMF. They quickly pick up Quattro –under some protest of Keroko- and prepare to leave, only for the automated repair system to cut of their escape. Keroko desperately tries to find a terminal of any kind, only to find out there are none. Fortunately, Tiana and Subaru come to their aid and they make it out all right.
After the incident, which is now called the Jail Scaglietti incident, the end of section 6 is in sight. With Hayate officially dispersing the unit, it comes down the one last mock battle, with no holds barred. After the mock battle, Vivio approaches Keroko. She tells them that she has learned that just because she is Nanoha’s sister, she’s not really Vivio’s mama. Keroko is pretty surprised and saddened that Vivio brought this up, but Vivio continues, saying that she still has some of the memories of her originals life. In that life someone who reminds her a lot of Keroko was like an older sister to her. So she asks Keroko
“You remind me of someone I used to call onee-chan… Is it allright if I call you onee-chan too?”
In the later months, Keroko found the freedom of movement that she gained when she gave up her command position to her liking, so one day she arrived not in her normal white uniform, but in the black Enforcers uniform. When asked by the others, Keroko simply replies that she still has a promise to keep to Tiana. Tiana realizes that she is talking about teaching her how to fly. Keroko now serves as an Enforcer, often traveling but also checking up on her family and friends more often. She has a habit of borrowing the Normandy when she needs a ride.
Very nice integration, as always. Just as how you're expanding the good guy's side, I'll be trying to do the same for the bad guy's. And since I have to integrate more to canon, I wonder...was it said when was Vivio created or where was she before she was found in the sewers? Or how did she end up in the sewers?
Also, was it said who exactly Vivio was calling for (if I remember correctly, she was calling out a "mama") before she started calling Nanoha "mama"?
...What is wrong with me today?! I'm asking for Vivio information...
For anyone who cares, I've FINALLY updated the official timeline. Nothing none of you don't really know, but there's some new stuff apparently, like Hayate's year of Career Course completion and stuff.
And RF6's graduation is on the 28th of April, MC076.
Ah, thanks for the offer but Lowe beat you too it . I'll keep you in mind should I run across another pic I need altered .

I'll have to agree there. I generally understood why the Sonic Form design was the way it was and it made sense for her purpose of priority over speed. Her design in A's worked well. The new Sonic Form in StrikerS...just didn't feel right for the function. Although Bardiche's Riot Zamber form worked well .
It's not her that bothers me though, it's her taste in partners >.>
For someone like her, it's first in, best dressed...

Spoiler for Chao. Is. Awesome.:
It's kinda funny, actually. Between learning her true motivation, and her repeated attempts to convince Negi to join her cemented her in my mind as one of the most selfish villains in anime/manga history...topped only by 1 villain definitively (Gendo Ikari), and POSSIBLY another (Hohenheim from FMA).

[Palpatine]Good, goooood[/Palpatine]
Anyway, when she was created is not exactly clear, though she should have been 'finished' around the time she is found. Before she was found in the sewers she was in the life pod Ginga found, after all. As for how she ended up in the sewers, her Seiou powers went berserk, she destroyed the drones escorting the truck carrying her, and ran.
As for who Vivio was calling out for... well, that gets a bit trickier. In episode 26 Vivio says that 'she never had a mother, and that she was only looking for someone to protect her and let her gather magical data' Now this can be take two ways, one is that Vivio was 'programmed' to look for a mother figure. The other, and this is the theory I prefer to use, is that when she was reffering to small bits and pieces of the original Vivio's memory. In other words: The original Vivio's mother. Concidering Vivio has a few more scraps of her past (such as her name) this is not a far stretch to imagine.

Tesla: If that's true, I don't see a reason why Grandis shouldn't be allowed near Hayate. After all, Grandis seems perfectly capable of providing comfort and confidence to Hayate. That aside, the love between siblings and the love between lovers are two different kinds of love, but they are love nonetheless. Are you so cruel that you would tear Hayate's heart to pieces just to keep her for yourself, Arcas?

Tesla: *starts tapping off* One, he values the warriors honor. Two, he strives to keep any oath he utters. Three, he has a very rare and valuable skill he intends to use for the good cause.

Oh, just you try it. Orbital Bombardements are so much easier from orbit.

So, how does it feel to be in Grandis' shoes?

I disagree with the 'most' selfish part, especially since her true motive was never revealed, but the convincing Negi only made her more awesome in my mind. Even more so when she used it as an opening for an attack. She's selfish, as all villains are, but not the most selfish. Not by a long shot.
Anyway, when she was created is not exactly clear, though she should have been 'finished' around the time she is found. Before she was found in the sewers she was in the life pod Ginga found, after all. As for how she ended up in the sewers, her Seiou powers went berserk, she destroyed the drones escorting the truck carrying her, and ran.

I see, so nothing aside from what was shown in the anime. Unfortunately, there is nothing for me to work with. I still dont like Vivio, but unfortunately (j/k) Gwen will, and the only chance for her to meet Vivio would be when she is captured by Scaglietti, and then Gwen will want to save her, which cannot happen obviously.
And Erio did say that Vivio might be part of Project F, so the memories one is probably the truer of the two.
Hmm... *Looks over notes in her journal*
Some little questions here as I work on my OC here... (Who has been changed a bit... I have enough blonde OCs so I changed that...)
1. What would be a reasonably strong mage rank without being... "AMG SHE JUST BLEW UP THAT MOUNTAIN DDDD:!" kind of strong?
2. A person's magical color... Is there any sort of... 'Limit'? I think I want to try silver.
3. Do most Belkan magics even have names? XD I don't recall Signum or any of the other Wolkenritter often saying the names of some spells... Or at least I don't recall Signum saying many spell names anyway.

And since I have to integrate more to canon, I wonder...was it said when was Vivio created or where was she before she was found in the sewers? Or how did she end up in the sewers?
And it's a lot worse when it's YOU trying to glomp her! Stay back, le scum!
