25 is all about its music too, really. The sound direction of 25 is one of the most epic I've ever heard. I think the last time I saw something that good was either Princess Tutu, Kaleido Star and maybe the OP of RxJ.
Yup, the music was top-notch, especially towards the end

Erio's hands were shivering, as Strada felt heavy in his hands. It wasn't just his brutality, his madness... it was his silence. He recalled how he brutally ravished her in front of him, yet in his look of madness, what came about was silence.
Not a single word was uttered from him, with a uncomprehending look from his eyes... It was like he wasn't human.
"Why!? Why are you doing this!?"
For some reason, Erio just screamed that. His heart was filled with curiosity never seen, as he looked at the man in front of him, dragging his sword across the ground akin to a ethereal being never seen.
"It's useless, foolish mortal. No matter how much you struggle, he cannot speak. No... he will not speak to you, nor anyone. He had silenced himself from this world for a reason beyond your understanding."
From behind the black knight, a gust of wind blew the sky as like a spiraling tornado, a red dragon made its presence seen as it flapped its grand wings across, as Erio felt an even more powerful pressure. Just as the dragon's sight came fully, Erio saw Freideich and Garyuu, both grabbed on the claws of the red dragon, injured just as the red dragon let go, and slammed them on the building roof Erio stood.
"Freid! Garyuu!"
"How pathetic. To think that dragons had fallen from grace, becoming pets, friends with lower creatures, devolving from the peak of what once graced the gods of the skies. Let's go, Logan. There is nothing else of worth dealing with these beings."
And like an impossible sight, the knight, called Logan by the red dragon, smiled warmly as he sheated his sword, jumping on the dragon's back... as the pair flew off, leaving a fallen sister, 2 familiars, and a young boy shaken, as if having witnessed the devil itself, as Caro and Lutecia came flying from a distance on Jiraioh, after Fried's and Garyuu's sudden loss of control when they first saw the red dragon...
SISTER SCHACH NOOOOO!!!!
*<<< probably the only Sister Schach fan in here*
To so brutally murder her like that...
And ouch... powerful and arrogant knight/dragon pair there

Spoiler for Knight and Dragon:
A Black Dragon? Awesome!
... or is it a red one? Hard to tell. Awesome either way!

And now, for all interested, a brief continuation:
Spoiler for Neither Enemy nor Friend...:
"What are you talking about?", Griffith uttered, meekly, his body still quivering as he felt cold steel against his flesh. The masked figure holding him at blade-point was about to answer when he was interrupted by a mechanical whirring preceding a slam.
Soft footsteps became audible, and in stepped a female figure, orange-haired and blue-eyed, grasping a pistol tightly in both of her hands. Lowran, his voice a pitiful whisper, muttered under his breath.
"First a masked psychopath, and now this? Oh, what next..."
As he was speaking, his urine broke- oddly unnoticed by either of the two others present- spilling effortlessly out of him.
Teana's eyes were fixated on the black-clad man standing before the cowering Griffith, and he spoke to her, about-turning slowly, his tone sounding fulfilled as if he had accomplished some unknown objective, yet deathly serious all the while.
"Snake..."
At his voice, the girl lowered her weapon slightly, and memories of her incident with N and the subsequent arrival of the man she faced soon after started coming back to her.
"You...", she replied, still keeping her guard up despite lowering her device. "You're that knife-wielder!"
Ignoring the mage's statement, the enigmatic one sighed, longingly. Teana noticed that he had still not sheathed his weapon, but, at least so far, no hostile action had been performed. Rather, the man emitted a chuckle, albeit a morose one.
"I've been waiting for you, Snake..."
Teana paused, then raised her armament back up at the figure, its ever-smiling mask being lined up in her sights as she snapped at the character.
"Who are you?"
"Neither enemy, nor friend" was the simple reply, the responding voice being somewhat raspy, yet well-educated in tone. "I am back from a world where such words are ultimately meaningless- devoid of any purpose."
Despite the mage's perplexed look, he continued on, not heeding it. "It has been a long and winding road leading to this point in time...but now, there are no further obstacles, yes?" He pointed with his free hand at her, then at himself. "You and I."
"What do you want?", Teana inquired, warily, still confused by the person's chatter.
"What I have sought for a long time, old friend...a battle to the death." His voice was meaningful, and his words were honest. Teana was puzzled further by the man calling her a friend, but still kept her firearm pointed forwards.
"What? Why is it me that you seek?" She pondered for a moment before finishing off. "What's your motive? Revenge?"
The masked one scoffed at this. "It is nothing so...trivial...as revenge", he spat. His free hand delved into the confines of his robes and unsheathed a second blade. "All I have been longing for is a fight to the death with you." He adopted a stance. "Only in that can my soul find respite, and my body find peace."
Griffith, still paralyzed by shock, summoned up the strength to speak again, in a whisper. "What's with these guys? It's...it's like in one of those movies!"
He thrust a hand forward, aiming a knife at the girl, who took a handful of paces back, her gun still at the ready. Once more, he indicated her, then himself. "I will kill you...or you will kill me."
He raised his head to look at the mage, his porcelain visage glaring at her.
"It makes no difference."
I know I skipped the ending part...but that'll be featured in the follow-up, if there is one. I also altered some dialogue, too. But, do tell me what you think.
Griffith must be feeling like running like hell.

Ah, so it was a Red dragon.
That dragon really reminded me of Neltharion. He has 'corruption' written all over him.
Quick break...and back into the high rolling battle...additionally, in honor of a recent hot blood sacrifice...
Spoiler for Aratana Bakusou!! Part H:
The brothers quickly seperated, their devices finalizing mode 3. Adorning their forearms and lower legs were the giant turbine-like devices of Mode 3.
Retsugou: Seimonjiryuu...Shippuu Houjin...
Goukon: Seimonjiryuu...Senpuu Houjin...
Sonic/Magnum: STAND BY!
R/G: Kaihou! (Release!)
Twin Cyclones expanded from the brother as magicks begans to swirl and spiral around them. With the accumulation of energies, the outer barrier began to waver from the strain of concentration.
Subaru: Hontou no ada na ga kita... (Their true nicknames have arrived...)
Teana: Minna fuserou! (Everybody down!)
Ginga: Nanoha-san, Fate-san, BARIA no kyouka wo onegaishimasu. (Nanoha-san, Fate-san, please strengthen the barrier.)
Teana: Kuruzo...Fuurai Kyoudai da! (Here it comes...the Storm Brothers!)
As if on cue, the contact zone of the two cyclones began to buck and weave.
Retsugou: Raijin...Rasensaku!
Sonic: LIGHTNING GOD DRILL!
One of the cyclones seemed to gather into Retsugou's hand, concentrating for a brief moment as lightning bolts struck and energized it as the winds spiraled out into an energized drill of lightning and wind, the lightning's energy maintaining the form as the wind's density increased. With a final heave, Retsugou threw the giant funnel at Goukon's cyclone.
Goukon: ...Fuujin...
A single hand from Goukon blocked Retsugou's attack as his own cyclone began to gather in the free hand.
Goukon: ...Rasensaku...
Magnum: WIND GOD DRILL!
Four drill points seemed to emerge from the concentrated energy ball before spinning up and slowly merging into one single funnel, which Goukon promptly slammed right into Retsugou's funnel of lightning and wind in a quick change of hands. However, the sudden change in the method of speech shocked Retsugou as he quickly dove back to the ground, avoiding the explosion of his own wind funnel as Goukon's attack impacted and dissipated against the now strengthened barrier. Goukon slowly descended, a chilling greenish and silver aura surrounding him. Out in the water, a lone figure stood on the water, watching the spar.
???: ...Goukon-sama no adorenarin suji, kiken ryouiki ni toppa... (Master Goukon's adrenaline numbers have broken into danger zone...)
The watcher pulled up another screen...
???: Retsugou-sama...sude ni rinkaiten wo toutatsu...(Master Retsugou is nearing critical point...)
Closing the screens and opening a new one to watch the sparring field in full view, the figure seemed to recline a bit.
???: Sa...dokomade noboru ka...Sonic...Magnum...(So...just how far will you climb...Sonic...Magnum...)

MORE destructive abilities between brothers... and this time, DRILL BREAKERS
And who are those figures by the water?

Hey, I'm a fan of her, too. It was only by coincidence that she and Nicholas ended up wielding weapons with a similar base, but seeing her in action has cemented me as an admirer.
25 is all about its music too, really. The sound direction of 25 is one of the most epic I've ever heard. I think the last time I saw something that good was either Princess Tutu, Kaleido Star and maybe the OP of RxJ.

Whoa....He's nasty....
Hmm, so she thinks that Fried (and probably any other dragon) has 'fallen' from their former glory...
What would she think of a half-dragon/half-human being?

And...crazy too
Here we go! to Chapter 18: Resolve, running along episode 23 and 24
Spoiler for Chapter 18: Resolve - Part 1:
Inside Scaglietti's lab, Fate is still fighting numbers 3 and 7, while Koji is busy fighting number 5, Cinque.
Maren mantains the barrier that keeps Cinque from escaping with Treize, who is watching her sister fight the white clad knight.
(We're pretty much evenly matched, my affinity with wind and defense protect me from the explosions...) He thought.
(While her constant attacks keep me from getting close enough to attack her...but...it's only a matter of time before she runs out of knives.)
(Comunications are cut, and this knight can greatly reduce the damage I deal to him...) Cinque paused.
(I have to choice but to keep fighting and wait for an opening, so I can attack her to lift the barrier.)
As the battle continues, Maren senses something...
Her ears twitch and point upwards, (What's this...an immense power has awakened, it comes from...) She tried to determine the source, (The Cradle?)
Seeing her opening, Cinque took it, (Now!) And threw a Stinger at Maren.
"Maren!" Koji shouted. [Zephyr Flash!] Air announced, putting Koji on the Stinger's path.
Koji thrust his left hand forward and Air shouted, [Panzerhindernis!]
After the explosion, the smoke faded, revealing the emerald colored barrier protecting them.
"K-Koji..." Maren said as she saw him.
"A-are you okay?" He winced a bit.
Maren nodded.
Cinque stood there, watching them, (He still has some tricks up his sleeve...)
"Hey!" Koji shouted at Cinque, "I'm your opponent here! If you want to escape, then defeat me and I promise to let you go."
"Koji..." Maren looked at him, who stood in front of her. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah...because, I won't lose..."
----------------------------
In the skies around the Cradle, a squad of Clerks arrived and met up with Hayate.
"How did it go?" Hayate asked.
"All the injured and Minawa-san have been safely taken to the Arthra and are being treated." The Clerk reported.
"Good, then assist the other squads that are engaging the drones."
"Yes, Ma'am." The captain acknowledged and led his squad to the front lines.
(Yui...you did well, now rest and wait for our safe return...) She said to herself as she looked at the Cradle.
----------------------------
At the lab's hallway, Koji and Cinque continued fighting...
After clashing one more time, the two slide back to each end of the hallway.
(I only have a few Stingers left...I have no choice but to-huh?) Cinque felt something tug her coat.
"What is it?" Cinque asked with her eye on Koji.
"Onee-san...do you need more?" Treize asked plainly.
"More? What are you talkin-" She noticed Treize holding a handful of Stingers.
"How did you?" Cinque looked at her surprised, but then understood, "I see, you're a support type..." She smiled.
(Not only do they look different, they feel different too...) She thought as she took the Stingers.
"Can you make more?" Cinque asked as she placed tem inside her coat.
Treize nodded.
Cinque turned to Koji, and replied to her, "Then make as many as you can..."
"Onee-san..."
"What?"
"I made this big one too...It'll make a big bang." She showed Cinque an enormous Stinger, as big as Koji's Air in Zweihander form. Both Cinque and Koji sweatdroped at the unnecessarily large Stinger, "Uh...I appreciate the offer, but that one is a bit too big..."
"I see..." Treize said with a hint of disappointment.
Then, regaining her composure, "Sorry for the interruption...Shall we continue?" Cinque asked.
Koji nodded to reply.
----------------------------
This shows how good Maren's senses are in Hybrid Form
Unlimited Stinger Works
Though, I think Treize should refrain from upgrading stuff that much
Oh, and these Stingers will be called Night Stingers
Methinks now that rider is the embodiment of the definition of crazy. That's one heck of an expression...

Now THAT is a KNIFE.
And the expressions of Cinque, Koji and Maren are GOLDEN.
I wonder if it will be fully used or not...if so...
And a very well-constructed piece- makes me wonder what the outcome will be. Very good- I await more in the future.
Toning down on Sweetcheesium on this one... since it has been taken over by rabid BlueCheesium. In fact, I think this is my longest single scenario for all of my OC's
Spoiler for Waiting:
“Thank You, and enjoy your meal!”
“I will thanks!”
The young girl cheerfully replied to the male clerk behind the counter as she took the take-out paper bag and the large black and white Styrofoam cup in front of her, placing them on the basket mounted in front of the touring bike she was riding on. With a kick of her legs by the pedals she rode out of the fast food joint’s drive-through lane, and into the adjacent three-lane street heading northward.
She pedaled past the primarily unoccupied streets, with most of the traffic held at bay by the all-important lunch hour. She was in high spirits today, this young vibrant woman of seventeen cruising along 66th Street, despite the high noon sun heating the dry tropical air to a sweltering 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Faster she pedaled, impatient as she was to get to her destination. For the day was good, with the bright deep blue cloudless sky above, and the dry gentle breeze that kept her cool as it blew past. And just for this day she dressed to look her best, wearing a simple, yet elegant white, single piece sleeveless frilly dress that gently swayed in the wind; and a white frilled Easter bonnet with a red ribbon on its crown she wore on her head.
For the rest of the citizens of Pinellas Park, and the counties, and states, countries and the world beyond it, it was a day like any other, another in the planet’s cycle of light and dark. A day that many would rather spend waiting for tomorrow.
It might have been the same for her too, a day filled with humdrum and the drudgery of chores. She recalled how the phone rang in her room, in the still dark wee hours of the morning only hours before. The previous day had been a stressful one for her, for reasons only she can disclose, and she had gone to bed wishing to just dream her way to the morning. Already she felt grumpy, angry even, when she sourly awakened from her dream which she clearly enjoyed, and the persistent metallic ringing was an evil nuisance. Only the need to shut up the vile device forced her to attend to whatever message it begged to deliver.
She was majorly pissed, and whoever fool had called her this early was going to taste a piece of her mind. “Matsuri Miyama here, thanks for calling so early, now bug off ass-”
“Gomen gomen! Guess I’ll call la-.”
Cancel that.
“SHINJI!!!! GOOD MORNING!!!!”
With the sound of her beloved’s voice, she leapt out of bed, her disposition turning a drastic 180, acutely cheerful and energetic, her sleepiness and grumpiness vanishing like they never existed.
“I’m sorry for that! I didn’t know it was you!” Her simple apology went, nervous embarrassment filling her voice.
On his side, he accepted her apology with a chuckle, much like his chipper self. “I should apologize as well, didn’t know it was still so early at your place. Guess I woke you up huh?”
She shook her head.
“I don’t mind now! Why are you calling so early?”
“Right, about that…”
It was his words that morning that compelled the smile she wore today, the radiant smile that drew the eyes of those on the sidewalks she happened to pass by. And she returned their attentions with a warm smile and a welcome greeting, and they responded with their own curious, yet grateful cheers. She was undeniably happy, she knew it, and she wanted to spread it around.
Turning right now upon 94th Avenue, and nearly half a mile onward to the left, was her final destination, the entrance to the Helen Howarth Community Park.
The memories came back to her as she came upon the avenue, the still vivid memories of a fateful day. Passing by the shoulder at the right of the road, she glanced at the space, in between the trees, where she reflected, and questioned the very meaning of the emotions she carried. Where despair and darkness had consumed her very being, driving her to madness. And when all seemed lost within her bottomless well of agony and pain, she found the light that brought her back from the darkness. For the first time in her life, where she felt true hope in the embrace of another, one who never gave up on her, on THEM.
Six months had passed now since then. Six long months since that bittersweet day. Since she last saw him in person. Since she last felt the embrace that saved her. His embrace, that saved her from the unbearable pain. A pain she had brought upon herself, by her stubborn and ignorant words.
Even now, the sting of her own words pained her deeply. Pain that cut deeper as she thought of the person who received them, the very person who gave his trust, hope, and love to her.
It was a contradiction she still could not explain to this day. But long ago, she had vowed never to let her logic interfere with her caring heart. To never hurt him again. He had trusted her once again through all their pain, and it was only right that she returned the favor with her heart.
Through these six longs months they had talked only thirty times, most via instant messaging and sometimes only for a few minutes, separated by their own necessary personal agendas and schedules. But she cherished them all, those thirty times spent with him, remembered every word he said to her, his words that never fail to catch her heart.
And now, with the words he gave to her this day, all she can do now was wait.
Left now she turned upon the park trail, weaving through its gently winding contours lined by the thick forest canopies. Until at last the reached her destination at the end of the trail: a very small low-lying wooden cottage, no larger than one of the nearby public park restrooms, hidden behind the trees.
She disembarked from her touring bike, securing it by chain to one of the cottage’s outer posts. Take-out bags and the large Styrofoam cup in hand, she pushed the inward swinging door open and went inside.
Visibly, there was nothing inside the cottage, just an empty space between four wooden walls, laterally arranged floor planks and ceiling. The very first time she was led here, this unusual absence of substance within had been a source of inexplicable confusion. This time, she knew better, tapping her feet twice successively on the floor planks, and then tapping once more after two seconds, then looked to her right.
Several of the interlocking floor planks in front of her seemed to sink an inch into the ground, then silently retracted outwards under the stationary planks. After seconds of shifting, the floor now revealed a large three by three meter hole, dominated by a large metal staircase leading underground.
Though she had seen the sight before, to see such a complex mechanical system in operation still left quite the impression, and also bemusement at the reason behind its sophistication. She shrugged off her thoughts on the matter as she quickly descended on the staircase, in what seem to be a bottomless descent. An imposing steel door finally met her at the bottom of the steps.
“Uncle Turing, open up! It’s me!”
The door slid open upon her request.
A spacious white windowless room lay before her, its immaculately clean matte walls and floor seemingly made from an unknown plastic polymer. The entire ceiling, several meters up, seemed to be made out of white light, providing illumination and accentuating the cleanliness of the room. For an underground facility, the air itself was refreshingly air-conditioned, maintaining a cool that nonetheless didn’t chill one’s self. After the heat that was the outside, it was certainly a welcome feeling.
At the far end of the room was a stepped platform, and by the wall was circular design engraved in its center, a smaller ring inside a much larger circle. Between them, four smaller circles lay equidistant from each other along the length of the ring in a diamond formation, each one bearing a different Greek symbol, representing Pi, Delta, Omega and Nu. In the circular space inside the array were interlocking squares, forming an octagram in the shape of the Star of Lakshmi, and another set of smaller rings lay at the middle of the array. The insides of both sets of rings were adorned with a seemingly haphazard yet elegant written script, which further added to the mystique of the array. Supposedly called a ‘Midchilda style array’, it was the core of this entire room.
And to her left, over by a far corner of the room, surrounded by a semicircular desk filled with all sorts of desktop computers, monitors, and other electronic equipment, hidden from sight yet with an unmistakable presence of someone busily working to the cacophony of keyboard strokes, was the person she was looking for. A dark skinned man around his forties, with a thin grey stubble and accompanying beard, flat top grey hair and looking at her with expectant eyes.
“Oh, Miyama, finally! You have no idea how long I’ve waited for your graces! Got what I ordered?” he spoke in a soft, yet gruff voice, of someone who had waited impatiently while still restraining his zeal.
“I got you your Big Buford, chips, - “
“And my large Banana Vanilla milkshake?“
“AND your large Banana Vanilla milkshake. Here.” She gently placed all the items on an empty spot on the desk, and watched in amusement as her uncle took out his meal, wrapped in silver foil, and made short work of his bulky double-patty hamburger, and let out a long, loud burp of satisfaction. Not that he ate like a pig – he ate quite cleanly in fact - but his extremely fast eating habit was still something she couldn’t quite stomach yet.
“Nothing like Checkers after a good day of progress!” he declared loudly, then burping one more time, much to her annoyance.
“Manners please uncle?”
“Manners? What are these, ‘manners’ you speak of Miyama?”
She sighed in hopeless frustration at her uncle. Nothing she could do about it though, she thought. Her Uncle Allen Turing had long been one to not care about most anything except his work, and his food. And speaking of his work, there was a question she wanted to ask him.
“How is it Uncle?”
For his credit, Turing knew what she was asking for. “Oh, their Matrix Projections? They’ll be up in time, don’t you sweat. I’m just debugging the software again. Even for one like myself who can’t make mistakes, you can’t be too certain!” He whimsically replied in reassurance, before returning his attention to the monitor in front of him.
The Solid Matrix Projections. Despite her mind that can easily digest and process complex scientific facts, she still had difficulty understanding the mechanics of this unusual technology. Ever since she learned the existence of this so-called 'Techno-magic' six months ago, her curious mind had tried to grasp the concepts and science of the subject, her wish to expand her horizons beyond the academics to which she had been taught.
She pondered these thoughts as she looked at the engraved array inside the room. Magic. An energy formed from transdimensional sources beyond the extent of the 11 theoretical dimensions that made up this reality. This was not the magic that she knew from fairy tales, incredibly simple, naïve and unexplainable, and from conmen, tricksters and artists that relied on slight-of-hand, and the methods of deception and misdirection to inspire awe to the unknowledgeable. This was a tangible force, an energy she could class in the same manner as light, electrical, thermal, kinetic, nuclear, and other energies known to science. Yet this was no simple manifestation of a simple force; An energy with strong links to one’s mental faculties and abilities, it was energy with near unlimited potential, seemingly able to break the various laws of thermodynamics, entropy, and even logic.
Long ago she never would have believed in the existence of such an anomaly, in fact she outright denounced the possibility of its existence. She took great comfort and pride in the absoluteness of her knowledge, in their infallibility. That she would be able to explain everything that ever happened, is happening, and will happen. Uncertainty would be a distant nightmare, and no more would she fear that which others dared not question. In the comfort of her theories, she would no longer be alone.
It was that same pride that nearly destroyed the person she loved and cherished. And she nearly lost the one more important to her than herself. For she could not understand the world in which he had inhabited, a world that was beyond the closed borders of her scientific mind.
The truth of his existence brought uncertainty in her orderly world, and she thought it was an unbelievable lie, an absurdity. She could not handle the presence of such an inconsistency, and strove to drive it out with her logical mind. And she succeeded.
But all she got for her victory was a hollow void. A chasm in her heart that tore at her soul. It brought her only great misery and suffering.
She had forsaken the warm, and tender love of someone who had cared for her, for the cold hard assurance of fact. For her own selfishness that had been her only friend, until he came along, and became her light in the darkness.
Between her cage of assurance, in the certainty of logic and the bars of limit; and the embrace of fragile emotion, she had to make a choice.
Back then, swallowed by the evening darkness, she chose the latter. And on that day, she found something greater than the bounds of her logical mind. She had discovered the unbound and unlimited tenderness, forgiveness and compassion of the loving heart. And even if he wasn’t there physically, her loneliness would never return, for he was there where it mattered. Her fragile, yet caring heart.
For this reason, she took it upon herself to learn the idiosyncrasies and methodologies of his world. But she did so not out of the need to further her own knowledge. Her need was no longer of quenching her own thirst for minor trivial figures, calculations and formulations. Her need was that of the one value she thought she had.
Understanding.
“Would you like to see him?”
Her reverie was interrupted by her uncle’s words, which confused her greatly.
“Him?”
“Shinji. At least the body I’ve prepared for him. We have lots of undeserving time to kill.”
“Oh.” Was all she could utter. It wouldn’t for her curiosity to see it though. Even if Shinji’s self was not around, his physical body was currently in her Uncle’s possession, as the one contracted to develop and build them in the first place. “I'd like to very much."
Her reply brought a sly smile to the old man’s face. “I knew you’d want to. Stand back a moment now, this could get ugly.”
A key was pressed, and suddenly the room was filled with a bright yellow flash emanating from a bright pillar of light. In less than a second, the pillar faded, to reveal an unconscious young adolescent male of around 5’2”, fair-skinned, medium-build with short black clean cut hair. He was floating an inch above the ground with his arms tucked to his side.
And naked.
Several seconds passed in silence.
“Like what you see Miyama?”
It suddenly felt very, very hot.
“Uncle!!!!! Please put some clothes on him!!!” She finally cried out as she turned her head away, her face flushed red like a tomato. Another flash of light, and slowly she turned to look. The body was now clothed a white polo shirt, denim pants and running shoes. She sighed in relief… though what was this tinge of disappointment she felt? The thought was quelled mercilessly before it could contaminate her any further.
“And here I thought you liked it.”
“UNCLE!!!”
“I give. What do you think of it then?”
For her, it was a simple question with an equally simple and honest answer.
“He’s perfect!”
The old man tried chuckling in his gruff voice, but came out more like a cough.
“Perfect? Of course he is. I am God.”
Face met palm at his words.
“But I imagined you had wanted to change a few things here and there…”
Somehow, for reasons she could not fathom in that moment, his words unnerved her deeply, more than the meaning they implied.
“Uncle what are you saying?” She asked, her question laced with great confusion.
“With a few program commands I can shape him to be your ideal man. Yes, the man of your dreams. I could design him to be as tall as you want, or shorter. Bulging muscles, or fat as a pig.”
It was incredulous. She could not believe a word of what she was hearing. What were these demented ideas her uncle was suggesting? What were these despicable suggestions he was spouting? How could he say these insidious thoughts with his nonchalance?
“We could make him more Caucasian, or even African American, like yours truly, and just as handsome wouldn’t you say? You could style his hair anyway you like. If you like, we can even manipulate his whole persona-“
WHAM!
“SHUT UP!!!!!”
The hands she had slammed on the desk shook uncontrollably, her furious cry muting all other sounds in the room.
“I won’t change a thing about him Uncle!!! None!!!”
Her fury threatened to erupt from the depths of her soul, fuming with unbridled disgust and burning anger. As she trembled her shaky voice reeked with indomitable outrage.
“I can’t believe this Uncle! Asking me to toy around with Shinji as if he was someone without his own will and his own heart! His body may have been your creation, but it will be HIS decision, and HIS will, to whether he wants to change!!
He may have his share of flaws, and he may not be the most handsome person in the entire Earth, or universe, or Ordered Space or whatever else may be out there!! But I would rather have the Shinji with his flaws than someone I molded! It would no longer be him if I changed him, it would just be a fantasy!!!
Who do you think he is?! Shinji is Shinji! He is himself, and that’s all I want from him!!”
Lightheadedness. Exhaustion. She felt herself out of breath after her fervent outburst, deflated even. Venting out the last of her anger, she inhaled deeply, the fresh air cooling her passionate soul if for only a moment. And then she looked at the recipient of her resentment.
What met her was a smug man amused, like someone who had just watched a much-loved circus.
“You done yet Miyama?” he asked coolly, an act that totally bewildered the infuriated young girl. He then stood up, revealing his rather tall stature, and walked over to her.
“I was just messing with you, no worry. Your little outburst was certainly more than I had expected. But you know, there are lots of females – and especially married ones - who would kill to have the means to change their significant others like I can with Shinji.”
The girl’s anger now drowned in the flood of confusion that took over, finding her head filled with the most ridiculous questions about this uncle of hers. Even her mind could not comprehend the workings of this brain. And she was too drained to even bother on the subject.
Then she heard his question.
“Miyama. Do you mean to tell me that no matter his nature, that you have accepted Shinji for what he is?”
Acceptance. It was the second value she had pursued alongside her quest of understanding. It was not enough that one claimed to have understood a concept. To truly acknowledge and encompass the meaning behind it, one must accept, no matter how outlandish, no matter how foreign or alien. But the acceptance she strove for was one far simpler than that. It was her acceptance of his being, no matter what. No, no matter who he may be. Acceptance, borne from her love for him. For her Shinji.
And so she answered in her soft voice filled with unwavering confidence, through her gentle smile.
“I do. I do accept him. I accept him for all that he is, and all that he is not. Even if I cannot always explain or understand his being, all I know is that I love him, no matter what.”
Turing simply smiled at her reply, his smile of a man content.
“And Shinji, do you accept Matsuri Miyama as your lawfully wedded wife?”
“UNCLE TURING!!!!!”
The old man laughed boisterously at his fidgeting niece’s flushed face, then patted her shoulder a couple of times before laying his hand on her.
“A year ago, or even half year ago, I never would have imagined you answering like you did now. It is a change I cannot explain, and I probably wouldn’t attempt to do so, but I do know this. Shinji is a good man, and I am secure in the knowledge that my little niece is in good hands. And with your unquestioning acceptance of him, I finally know that he will be cared for by your hands.
I’m very proud of you Miyama, I really am.”
She could only nod back, mouthing her thanks as she looked on at Shinji’s floating body. She touched its right hand with both their own. It was warm. But it was an artificial warmth, it felt lifeless and cold. For he was still not here, the soul of the one who would inhabit this body soon. The soul she cherished above all else.
A high-pitched beep from the desktop computers demanded their immediate attention, and Turing returned to his desk to heed. It was the sound he had been waiting for. And for the young girl, it was the sound she had been patiently and eagerly awaited, her anticipation growing as she watched the array by the platform glow in a bright orange hue.
“Transfer is almost complete. Here we go.”
Within the pillar of orange light on the platform, a dark silhouette began to appear. Slowly, its shape morphed into a recognizably slender female form. And emerging from the pillar, a pony-tailed woman dressed in her sand brown unbuttoned long sleeved denim shirt, wearing white crop-top undershirt underneath, and a matching denim miniskirt. With her confident eyes staring at the young Matsuri through clear orange visors, raising a finger to the sky in one swift motion, she proudly declared:
“Bushin Souko no Musume!! KENZAN!!”
Only to be struck down cold by a supersonic flying chalk to the forehead, courtesy of the good old doctor behind the desk.
“Behave yourself. Nobody can proclaim themselves so highly in the domain of your God, young one.”
Matsuri could only sigh and look on in resignation at the absolute randomness that was her uncle. Beside the fallen woman three adolescents materialized out of thin air, leaning at their friend on the floor with their translucent bodies. Two women, a long haired redhead, scratching her head at what just transpired; and another with short blue hair, who was trying her best to wake the woman up without success.
And the third... was the reason for this young girl’s patience today. The reason she had waited so long. Why her welcoming eyes were slowly filling with tears. The young holographic boy in front of her, with his jet black hair. Though he was yet composed of holographic streams of light, as he slowly grabbed her hands she could feel his gentle warmth spread through her. The warmth that dispelled the dark bitter cold long ago, and now filled her heart with much joy. She could not help but smile at the one she loved.
And he smiled in return.
“You’re looking nice Matsuri.”
Her wait was over.
“Thank you Shinji. Welcome back!”
Late Edit:
Couldn't describe it well in the chapter, but here's an image of what Matsuri was wearing
Spoiler for Dress:
I dont think I have said this before, but this is incredible...in real life, I would have probably hated this type of girl, but...you have just blown that line of thought out of my head. I like Matsuri now...
ANIKI!!!
I wonder if she will become a mage now?
Waiting for more.

I've got some time, so a DestinyS snippet.
Spoiler for DestinyS:
The knight in black merely made his steps known as he continued onwards, as he stepped forward, stepping on the fallen body of Sister Schach like she wasn't even there, as the glint in his eyes showed a look of craze, as he grinned like a monster hungering for blood.
Erio's hands were shivering, as Strada felt heavy in his hands. It wasn't just his brutality, his madness... it was his silence. He recalled how he brutally ravished her in front of him, yet in his look of madness, what came about was silence.
Not a single word was uttered from him, with a uncomprehending look from his eyes... It was like he wasn't human.
"Why!? Why are you doing this!?"
For some reason, Erio just screamed that. His heart was filled with curiosity never seen, as he looked at the man in front of him, dragging his sword across the ground akin to a ethereal being never seen.
"It's useless, foolish mortal. No matter how much you struggle, he cannot speak. No... he will not speak to you, nor anyone. He had silenced himself from this world for a reason beyond your understanding."
From behind the black knight, a gust of wind blew the sky as like a spiraling tornado, a red dragon made its presence seen as it flapped its grand wings across, as Erio felt an even more powerful pressure. Just as the dragon's sight came fully, Erio saw Freideich and Garyuu, both grabbed on the claws of the red dragon, injured just as the red dragon let go, and slammed them on the building roof Erio stood.
"Freid! Garyuu!"
"How pathetic. To think that dragons had fallen from grace, becoming pets, friends with lower creatures, devolving from the peak of what once graced the gods of the skies. Let's go, Logan. There is nothing else of worth dealing with these beings."
And like an impossible sight, the knight, called Logan by the red dragon, smiled warmly as he sheated his sword, jumping on the dragon's back... as the pair flew off, leaving a fallen sister, 2 familiars, and a young boy shaken, as if having witnessed the devil itself, as Caro and Lutecia came flying from a distance on Jiraioh, after Fried's and Garyuu's sudden loss of control when they first saw the red dragon...
Awesome. I wonder what you're going to do for Erio to beat this guy... if he can just own Schach like that.

What would she think of a half-dragon/half-human being?
And...crazy too
Here we go! to Chapter 18: Resolve, running along episode 23 and 24
Spoiler for Chapter 18: Resolve - Part 1:
Inside Scaglietti's lab, Fate is still fighting numbers 3 and 7, while Koji is busy fighting number 5, Cinque.
Maren mantains the barrier that keeps Cinque from escaping with Treize, who is watching her sister fight the white clad knight.
(We're pretty much evenly matched, my affinity with wind and defense protect me from the explosions...) He thought.
(While her constant attacks keep me from getting close enough to attack her...but...it's only a matter of time before she runs out of knives.)
(Comunications are cut, and this knight can greatly reduce the damage I deal to him...) Cinque paused.
(I have to choice but to keep fighting and wait for an opening, so I can attack her to lift the barrier.)
As the battle continues, Maren senses something...
Her ears twitch and point upwards, (What's this...an immense power has awakened, it comes from...) She tried to determine the source, (The Cradle?)
Seeing her opening, Cinque took it, (Now!) And threw a Stinger at Maren.
"Maren!" Koji shouted. [Zephyr Flash!] Air announced, putting Koji on the Stinger's path.
Koji thrust his left hand forward and Air shouted, [Panzerhindernis!]
After the explosion, the smoke faded, revealing the emerald colored barrier protecting them.
"K-Koji..." Maren said as she saw him.
"A-are you okay?" He winced a bit.
Maren nodded.
Cinque stood there, watching them, (He still has some tricks up his sleeve...)
"Hey!" Koji shouted at Cinque, "I'm your opponent here! If you want to escape, then defeat me and I promise to let you go."
"Koji..." Maren looked at him, who stood in front of her. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah...because, I won't lose..."
----------------------------
In the skies around the Cradle, a squad of Clerks arrived and met up with Hayate.
"How did it go?" Hayate asked.
"All the injured and Minawa-san have been safely taken to the Arthra and are being treated." The Clerk reported.
"Good, then assist the other squads that are engaging the drones."
"Yes, Ma'am." The captain acknowledged and led his squad to the front lines.
(Yui...you did well, now rest and wait for our safe return...) She said to herself as she looked at the Cradle.
----------------------------
At the lab's hallway, Koji and Cinque continued fighting...
After clashing one more time, the two slide back to each end of the hallway.
(I only have a few Stingers left...I have no choice but to-huh?) Cinque felt something tug her coat.
"What is it?" Cinque asked with her eye on Koji.
"Onee-san...do you need more?" Treize asked plainly.
"More? What are you talkin-" She noticed Treize holding a handful of Stingers.
"How did you?" Cinque looked at her surprised, but then understood, "I see, you're a support type..." She smiled.
(Not only do they look different, they feel different too...) She thought as she took the Stingers.
"Can you make more?" Cinque asked as she placed tem inside her coat.
Treize nodded.
Cinque turned to Koji, and replied to her, "Then make as many as you can..."
"Onee-san..."
"What?"
"I made this big one too...It'll make a big bang." She showed Cinque an enormous Stinger, as big as Koji's Air in Zweihander form. Both Cinque and Koji sweatdroped at the unnecessarily large Stinger, "Uh...I appreciate the offer, but that one is a bit too big..."
"I see..." Treize said with a hint of disappointment.
Then, regaining her composure, "Sorry for the interruption...Shall we continue?" Cinque asked.
Koji nodded to reply.
----------------------------
This shows how good Maren's senses are in Hybrid Form
Unlimited Stinger Works
Though, I think Treize should refrain from upgrading stuff that much
Oh, and these Stingers will be called Night Stingers
OMG! Nanoha WIN!!!
LOL at that. Treize cuteness factor has just jumped sky high.
Hey, I'm a fan of her, too. It was only by coincidence that she and Nicholas ended up wielding weapons with a similar base, but seeing her in action has cemented me as an admirer.
Glad to know there are more Schach fans! She's awesome for someone so underappreciated!

A turnaround? That's something I didn't expect
And nope. Matsuri has no linker core (or at least, a very weak one to the point of insignificance), which means she can never use magic even if she wants to. And it's best that I leave her as someone who knows about magic, but doesn't actively participate (not all the time anyway).
Amongst the sea of mages and combat personel in the TSAB, and out of it (and OC in general), I just wanted someone down-to-earth to write about

The brothers quickly seperated, their devices finalizing mode 3. Adorning their forearms and lower legs were the giant turbine-like devices of Mode 3.
Retsugou: Seimonjiryuu...Shippuu Houjin...
Goukon: Seimonjiryuu...Senpuu Houjin...
Sonic/Magnum: STAND BY!
R/G: Kaihou! (Release!)
Twin Cyclones expanded from the brother as magicks begans to swirl and spiral around them. With the accumulation of energies, the outer barrier began to waver from the strain of concentration.
Subaru: Hontou no ada na ga kita... (Their true nicknames have arrived...)
Teana: Minna fuserou! (Everybody down!)
Ginga: Nanoha-san, Fate-san, BARIA no kyouka wo onegaishimasu. (Nanoha-san, Fate-san, please strengthen the barrier.)
Teana: Kuruzo...Fuurai Kyoudai da! (Here it comes...the Storm Brothers!)
As if on cue, the contact zone of the two cyclones began to buck and weave.
Retsugou: Raijin...Rasensaku!
Sonic: LIGHTNING GOD DRILL!
One of the cyclones seemed to gather into Retsugou's hand, concentrating for a brief moment as lightning bolts struck and energized it as the winds spiraled out into an energized drill of lightning and wind, the lightning's energy maintaining the form as the wind's density increased. With a final heave, Retsugou threw the giant funnel at Goukon's cyclone.
Goukon: ...Fuujin...
A single hand from Goukon blocked Retsugou's attack as his own cyclone began to gather in the free hand.
Goukon: ...Rasensaku...
Magnum: WIND GOD DRILL!
Four drill points seemed to emerge from the concentrated energy ball before spinning up and slowly merging into one single funnel, which Goukon promptly slammed right into Retsugou's funnel of lightning and wind in a quick change of hands. However, the sudden change in the method of speech shocked Retsugou as he quickly dove back to the ground, avoiding the explosion of his own wind funnel as Goukon's attack impacted and dissipated against the now strengthened barrier. Goukon slowly descended, a chilling greenish and silver aura surrounding him. Out in the water, a lone figure stood on the water, watching the spar.

Closing the screens and opening a new one to watch the sparring field in full view, the figure seemed to recline a bit.

Explosive indeed. Though it's pretty standalone, since that's all this piece is about.

What would she think of a half-dragon/half-human being?
Feh, she's not that much different herself, since she's allying herself with a human. (( Not a regular relationship, but allies non-the-less ))
She pretty much looks down to any human (( except Logan )) and any beings who servant themselves or befriend humans, since she's an ancient dragon over thousands of years old.

Spoiler for Chapter 18: Resolve - Part 1:
Inside Scaglietti's lab, Fate is still fighting numbers 3 and 7, while Koji is busy fighting number 5, Cinque.
Maren mantains the barrier that keeps Cinque from escaping with Treize, who is watching her sister fight the white clad knight.
(We're pretty much evenly matched, my affinity with wind and defense protect me from the explosions...) He thought.
(While her constant attacks keep me from getting close enough to attack her...but...it's only a matter of time before she runs out of knives.)
(Comunications are cut, and this knight can greatly reduce the damage I deal to him...) Cinque paused.
(I have to choice but to keep fighting and wait for an opening, so I can attack her to lift the barrier.)
As the battle continues, Maren senses something...
Her ears twitch and point upwards, (What's this...an immense power has awakened, it comes from...) She tried to determine the source, (The Cradle?)
Seeing her opening, Cinque took it, (Now!) And threw a Stinger at Maren.
"Maren!" Koji shouted. [Zephyr Flash!] Air announced, putting Koji on the Stinger's path.
Koji thrust his left hand forward and Air shouted, [Panzerhindernis!]
After the explosion, the smoke faded, revealing the emerald colored barrier protecting them.
"K-Koji..." Maren said as she saw him.
"A-are you okay?" He winced a bit.
Maren nodded.
Cinque stood there, watching them, (He still has some tricks up his sleeve...)
"Hey!" Koji shouted at Cinque, "I'm your opponent here! If you want to escape, then defeat me and I promise to let you go."
"Koji..." Maren looked at him, who stood in front of her. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah...because, I won't lose..."
----------------------------
In the skies around the Cradle, a squad of Clerks arrived and met up with Hayate.
"How did it go?" Hayate asked.
"All the injured and Minawa-san have been safely taken to the Arthra and are being treated." The Clerk reported.
"Good, then assist the other squads that are engaging the drones."
"Yes, Ma'am." The captain acknowledged and led his squad to the front lines.
(Yui...you did well, now rest and wait for our safe return...) She said to herself as she looked at the Cradle.
----------------------------
At the lab's hallway, Koji and Cinque continued fighting...
After clashing one more time, the two slide back to each end of the hallway.
(I only have a few Stingers left...I have no choice but to-huh?) Cinque felt something tug her coat.
"What is it?" Cinque asked with her eye on Koji.
"Onee-san...do you need more?" Treize asked plainly.
"More? What are you talkin-" She noticed Treize holding a handful of Stingers.
"How did you?" Cinque looked at her surprised, but then understood, "I see, you're a support type..." She smiled.
(Not only do they look different, they feel different too...) She thought as she took the Stingers.
"Can you make more?" Cinque asked as she placed tem inside her coat.
Treize nodded.
Cinque turned to Koji, and replied to her, "Then make as many as you can..."
"Onee-san..."
"What?"
"I made this big one too...It'll make a big bang." She showed Cinque an enormous Stinger, as big as Koji's Air in Zweihander form. Both Cinque and Koji sweatdroped at the unnecessarily large Stinger, "Uh...I appreciate the offer, but that one is a bit too big..."
"I see..." Treize said with a hint of disappointment.
Then, regaining her composure, "Sorry for the interruption...Shall we continue?" Cinque asked.
Koji nodded to reply.
----------------------------
This shows how good Maren's senses are in Hybrid Form
Unlimited Stinger Works
Though, I think Treize should refrain from upgrading stuff that much
Oh, and these Stingers will be called Night Stingers
Nice chapter. That hueg stinger pic was awesome.
And looks like next episode will be the ultimate determinant of your Ion Canon... since Cinque's STILL missing...

He won't fight ALONE of course... I haven't finalized it, but most likely it'll be a team-up with Garyuu as well, among other things.
Not to mention plot-device. Like Zest's spear breaking so easily though it's probably pretty old itself. I'll make mine logical to the character-relevance, but it's still generally incomplete.
The only thing that's REALLY complete for these pair is their sub-plot ending.

The knight in black merely made his steps known as he continued onwards, as he stepped forward, stepping on the fallen body of Sister Schach like she wasn't even there, as the glint in his eyes showed a look of craze, as he grinned like a monster hungering for blood.
Erio's hands were shivering, as Strada felt heavy in his hands. It wasn't just his brutality, his madness... it was his silence. He recalled how he brutally ravished her in front of him, yet in his look of madness, what came about was silence.
Not a single word was uttered from him, with a uncomprehending look from his eyes... It was like he wasn't human.
"Why!? Why are you doing this!?"
For some reason, Erio just screamed that. His heart was filled with curiosity never seen, as he looked at the man in front of him, dragging his sword across the ground akin to a ethereal being never seen.
"It's useless, foolish mortal. No matter how much you struggle, he cannot speak. No... he will not speak to you, nor anyone. He had silenced himself from this world for a reason beyond your understanding."
From behind the black knight, a gust of wind blew the sky as like a spiraling tornado, a red dragon made its presence seen as it flapped its grand wings across, as Erio felt an even more powerful pressure. Just as the dragon's sight came fully, Erio saw Freideich and Garyuu, both grabbed on the claws of the red dragon, injured just as the red dragon let go, and slammed them on the building roof Erio stood.
"Freid! Garyuu!"
"How pathetic. To think that dragons had fallen from grace, becoming pets, friends with lower creatures, devolving from the peak of what once graced the gods of the skies. Let's go, Logan. There is nothing else of worth dealing with these beings."
And like an impossible sight, the knight, called Logan by the red dragon, smiled warmly as he sheated his sword, jumping on the dragon's back... as the pair flew off, leaving a fallen sister, 2 familiars, and a young boy shaken, as if having witnessed the devil itself, as Caro and Lutecia came flying from a distance on Jiraioh, after Fried's and Garyuu's sudden loss of control when they first saw the red dragon...
I've just thought of something... Is Acous/Schach a part of your motivation to quickly axe her?

No, it's to boil further drama.
After all, with Acous on the other side (( villain )), and Chrono being his enemy-counterpart, it's only right that I add an ingredient that canon supports, namely Schach.
Carim is still necessary in my story to be lolololed by Jail.

Of course of course... There's always a reason...

Purely unintentional, of course.

Too bad they haven't announced the height (three sizes too ) of the characters in StrikerS, it'd be easier to define a height of my OC characters

Nanoha, Fate, Signum, Shamal and Zafira. (sorry no Hayate but from what we've seen, she can only get her limiter released by Chrono and Carim, meaning that she would be no use in this battle, where as the limiters of the others are in the control of Hayate.)
with possible roles to be played by Tesla, Keroko and Kha...
It's either that or throw in a humongous pile of drones into the equation to better represent the manhunt.
Attached to MD6? No - but Arcasaviel Emira's worked with all of the Aces @ one time or another - so feel free to toss him (and his partner, Melinia Yoshitaka) into the fray if you need more chars... when is this anyway?

<scratches head in puzzlement> I'm trying to make sense of this - what the hell is he talking about? The only thing I can think of is... OH SNAP!
NEW MATERIAL!!!!
@Everyone:
Other than Vice, does anyone have ideas for MALE love interests for Teana? Kha-kun, I always thought Artei-san might be a good fit...
Spoiler for Shoujo-ai:
<Miyuki-san Explanation Mode Start!>
I realize that love can take just about any form, but I have an almost pathological aversion to shoujo or shonen-ai, unless the pairing is proven canon. Ex: KonokaSetsuna from Negima, or ChikaneHimeko from KnM (though I do support SoumaHimeko too).
This is a result of my religious upbringing as a Christian, where we're taught that romantic, sexual love between members of the same sex is wrong - this is why I also have something of an aversion to NxF.
Plus, I'm straight myself, and when I write, I try to stick to things that I know or experience so that I can say, "Well, this is how it happened for me."
Granted, I'm not against it - I'm just very very hesitant about doing it.
And frankly, unless AlternateS II is never gonna happen, then Subaru already has a love interest - making the TeanaxSubaru pairing moot.
A quick note - though I do not wholly support shoujo/shonen-ai, I WILL use that close dynamic. Ex: Teana and Subaru may not be lovers - but if Subaru needs comforting, then Teana would be one of my primary candidates for that comforting.
Okay, just finished watching episode 25, which has left me with enough data to start writing Rescue Mission 3.
That is, if I could figure out just what to do.
On one hand I have dramatic Keroko/Nanoha/Vivio fight, on another a chase for Quattro. Both sides have their ups and downs, with the Vivio fight draining quite a bit of the Nanoha drama and the Quattro chase severely lacking in dramatic oponents. I'll need some sleep and a good few hours to think up a working plan.
