Scene #6829: Summer War: Aerial Invasion

Owner	Pose
Nanoha Takamachi	It's a hot day on the island. It's particularly hot towards the edge of the large volcano that sits to the north. A number of Nobus of the Satisfaction T.R.P faction mill about in the rocky territory, keeping guard and watching for attacks from almost all directions, given they're surrounded by two of the other factions. So it's probably luck that a Nobu turns to the north and spots a glint in the sky. The Nobu squints for a moment, before bringing up a small pair of binoculars. It adjusts them for a few moments on the blurry object, before it comes into focus. An aircraft. Bearing the insignia of the Nazery faction. Zooming out a bit more, more planes come into view, heading straight towards this territory's outpost. The Nobu quickly points towards the northern sky, shouting, "Nono! Nobu! Nobuno bu buno!" More Nobus turn to look as the planes grow closer, now visible with the naked eye. One of them sounds the alarm as others begin to ready their weapons. As the fleet of transport planes soon clear the sea-side cliffs, their large rear doors open. Nobus clad in orange-red swimsuits begin to dive out with small backpacks. The backpacks soon open to unfurl their parachutes, the Nobus starting to land and gather into formations before charging forward. Skirmishes quickly begin to break out in the territory. Meanwhile, a pink streak of light rockets through the air amidst the transport planes, arcing down to a point above the quickly growing battle. Coming to a stop, Nanoha floats in the air, Device in hand as she watches the battle play out. She's not engaging herself, simply keeping an eye on the invading forces while waiting for any elite response. While a little odd, Nanoha has to admit that the strange beings have a lot of spirit.
Touta Konoe	ALERT, Area reinforcements incoming. One hostile servant detected, Caster-class "An Aerial assault?! They have an aerial assault?! Is that even fair?! We could do that?!" Upon the Nobus providing the intel of the incoming assault, Touta finds himself taking some of the pads in the MoonCell to transport to the afflicted sector. It was a rough position to defend considering there were already two factions sandwiching the sector. The Elite that comes to the scene is the one who's already proven himself capable of defending his territory so far in this war, and someone that Nanoha's come to be familiar with already. The young man, Touta Konoe. Unlike his previous appearences though he's dressed a bit more appropriately for this war. Red and black swimming trunks, a white, light-fabric hoodie that contrasted his usual black gakuran and a t-shirt underneath reading 'Salty'. Though like her he couldn't forget to bring his talking weapon companion. The Nobus drop from their plans and begin their assault on the rocky terrain. It's a violent and vicious Nobu against Nobu battle. Oh the humanity! That said, Touta hops right into the front lines swatting away Nobus as much as he can to help his troops before finally spotting the familiar face. He points his sword in the air towards her. "Nanoha, where'd you get planes from?! That's totally unfair! I mean it's super cool and everything but come on! If we're gonna do this war we gotta do it right, right?!" Even with all the complaining being said there's a bit of a giddy grin on his face as he spots Nanoha. Well, at least he's happy to see her!
Nanoha Takamachi	Nanoha idly watches from her aerial position as the Nobus battle it out below. She wonders how sentient these magical creatures are. Given what she's seen, she's guessing they're more akin to the simpler golems one of her daughter's friends creates. Rather than, say, a full familiar. Nanoha certainly hopes that's the case, otherwise this would be incredibly sad and certainly not Summer Fun worthy. Nanoha blinks as she notices some of her allied Nobu getting swatted away. She then spots Touta. Nanoha smiles at the familiar face, giving him a wave, "Ah, Touta! Kurobo! Hello." Nanoha's staff chimes, <Greetings.> As Touta enquires about the aircraft, Nanoha laughs a little, "Ehehe, I don't know? I was hanging around our HQ when one of the Nobu walked up to me with a picture of the planes. Seems like they had already organized them and wanted me to choose an attack site. So I went along with it!" Perhaps they were aware of Nanoha's aerial superiority and decided to prepare something for her? Raising Heart chimes out, <Master. It is time to fight.> Nanoha blinks then ahs, "Yes. I guess that's right!" Nanoha floats down to the ground. A clear area forms on the battlefield as Nobus move to avoid the coming clash of titans. Nanoha plants her feet into the ground, leveling her staff to point towards Touta. As an orb of pink begins to form beyond the tip, she gives him a friendly smile, "Good luck, Touta!" The attack fires, a light beam of magic blasting forward from the staff towards Touta.
Touta Konoe	"...They showed you pictures?! They didn't give us pictures!" He looks back at the Nobus in the back lines. Some Nobus who look his way turn from his gaze with a sweat going down their face. He's gonna need a talking with these guys when he has the chance. A sigh can be heard from the blade before speaking up, < Is that really the issue right now? A fair greetings to you both. It's rather unfortunate but it's just as Raising Heart's said. > Touta ends up getting reeled in by Kurobo just as Nanoha is by Raising Heart. "Hehe, guess you're both not wrong. I didn't really think we'd be fighting like this but I can't complain either way." At this point Nanoha slowly descends and the Nobus clear out, "Same to you. Better not go easy though!" She raises her staff his way and shoots her beam. Touta responds in kind ducking low as he kicks off the ground towards her, attempting to make a big impact from the start as he brings his blade into an upward slash trying to catch her from an awkward angle.
Nanoha Takamachi	Nanoha grins as Touta proceeds to charge her. She spins her staff around to guard against the swordsman's blow. The resulting impact creates a blast of air between the two. Nanoha is thrown by the force, hitting the ground and digging a small trench before she manages to flip back onto her feet and skid to a stop. Nanoha calmly stands up, giving Touta a chuckle as she says, "No chance of that." However, she doesn't make any obvious movements to attack. Though her finger wrapped around her staff does shift a little. The beam that Nanoha had fired and Touta so deftly dodged swings around. It dances between the battling Nobus before homing in to try and strike Touta from behind in a surprise attack.
Touta Konoe	The impact sends Nanoha back with significant force that even Touta can still feel his fingers tingle from the impact of the collision. "Good, I wouldn't have it any other way." Touta braces for her next move, he's not sure what to expect of her honestly. They've fought together a few times now but he's never actually seen her in much one-on-one combat so he's gotta be ready for anything. The sounds of Nobu flail up from behind him in panic, it's like they're trying to tell him something. "Guys, keep quiet I'm trying to foc- Ngh?!" Touta turns his head to realize what all the nobu'ing was about. Touta's blasted by the same attack he had dodged only moments ago and the impact lifts him off his feet. He cringes as he feels the explosive force launch him out of his stance. The best thing he could do in this instance is try to and get to the ground again. To reacquire his stance...He does no such thing. Touta decides to roll with the punches, or in this case the magical homing blast. Touma uses that explosive blast from behind to send him shooting straight for Nanoha who had been in front of him. Once again this swordsman would challenge this magical girl in his terrain! "Heads up!!!"
Nanoha Takamachi	Nanoha looks a little pleased that her remote attack was able to take Touta by surprise. Though the expression quickly becomes serious as Touta comes blasting in off the end of that attack, using it to close the distance. Nanoha stands her ground against his charge. Until she doesn't. At the last moment, Nanoha jumps away in order to avoid the blow. She's not entirely successful, Touta's blade slicing through her Barrier Jacket and drawing a little blood. Nanoha winces as she arcs through the air, but she doesn't let the injury distract her. Raising Heart's cartridge slide throws itself back twice, the heavy thunking sounds signalling the release of two of those mana infused rounds. As Nanoha lands on the ground again, a spell circle quickly appears beneath her. She raises her staff into the air above her, calling out, "Axel Shooter!" A dozen orbs of pink appear floating in the air around Nanoha, energy crackling between them. But they don't act until Nanoha finishes, "Avalanche Shift!" The orbs begin to fire beams off repeatedly. The beams rise up into the air, before raining down on Touta's location. The resulting explosions saturate the ground, blow holes into the rocky terrain and sending a few Nobu on the edge flying from the force of the blasts. Though they quickly get back up and continue their battle after some Nobus of annoyance are sent Nanoha's way.
Touta Konoe	Touta finds himself able to land another solid blow against Nanoha. He thinks at first she gets away pretty well but even Touta can see as the red spills from her jacket. While this was war he still doesn't want to go /that/ far. Even with Theurgus he felt somewhat better about going at her for the fact she was really bleeding and could ...Do whatever it was she was doing. But Nanoha with how powerful she was, was still just human. "Hey, Nanoha you alr-" He forget just how powerful she is actually as she bombards him with her Axel Shooter. Seeing them coming is one thing, but even as he tries to dodge the first one he finds caught in a rapid bombardment that detonate around him with no way of evading. Nobu go flying to and fro, but Touta being the center of the blast doesn't. "Revolution!!!" The smoke built up from all the explosions begin to spin like a little typhoon before dispelling, Most of Touta's hoodie is completely blown to bits with his 'Salty' shirt torn blasted to shreds. Touta's face is covering in immence scratches and bruises but thanks to Nanoha's magic he doesn't seem to be experiencing too much fatal wounds...Though maybe that isn't a good thing with how her magic works. Instead of applying more physical damage the immortal's impacted in a way he's usually not affected by exhaustion. Perhaps a more subtle way to deal with an immortal? He won't say! A smile appears on his face once the smoke dissipates, and the rocky terrain under his feet begins to crumble. "Grasp the earth...Grasp the..." And before even finishing the boy's body darts off appearing a blur to the eye as he darts about. He dashes from point a to b, b to c, so on and so forth trying to find another opening to which when he does he flings himself back at Nanoha for an overhead strike with his blade. Preparing to amplify it's weight to make the attack even more fatal...Though he's using the back of the blade at least...
Nanoha Takamachi	Nanoha obviously notices Touta's concern over her injury. So once her bombardment lightens up and reveal Touta once more, she gives him a smile, "I've fought numerous battles. I've suffered many injuries in the past." Some particularly bad. "I'll be fine." While Nanoha's bombardment has lightened, the orbs she had summoned for her attack remain floating in the air around her. As Touta launches into an incredibly fast speed, moving from one point to the next, Nanoha tries her best to keep up. But she soon loses track of her opponent, creating an opening for him to charge in. Chime, <Wide Area Protection> The domed barrier of pink appears around Nanoha as her partner comes to the rescue. Touta's blade strikes the barrier with a flash of light as the spell stops its progress. However, the quickly erected barrier quickly cracks under the pressure. But it provides just enough for Nanoha to spin around and raise her staff up. The barrier shatters into sparkles of light, Touta's blade continuing down to hit Nanoha's staff. The Mage winces in pain at the force, the ground beneath her cratering. She's forced down to one knee as she visibly struggles under the heavy sword. Nanoha is not in much of a position to launch a new attack. Thankfully the remainder of her last one still floats around her. Diverting just enough of her concentration, she sends the orbs flying in between the two fighters and then straight towards Touta's chest. They quickly explode with enough force to send Touta flying, if he doesn't avoid it. But being that close, Nanoha is also caught on the edge of the blast. She too is thrown, bouncing across the ground a couple of times. Nanoha soon stands once more, smoke rising from the charred parts of her Barrier Jacket. She's starting to look a little worn, but still strong.
Touta Konoe	Nanoha's protection spell proves just how effective it is against Touta's blade, being able to fend off a sword intended to shatter magical barriers with just brute force alone. The fact it lasts through the duration of the attack truly shows just how skilled and capable this combat mage really is. Though when it comes to a clash of sheer physical force once more, Nanoha can definitely tell that this kid hasn't been kidding around when he says he's not human. The impact of the striking taking a toll against her as she finds herself on a knee. It's thanks to her quick thinking and preparation that she's able to knock back Touta even when she's in a downed state. Being so close it's definitely difficult to dodge though Touta seems to have a way to try and handle the situation. The boy extends out his right hand as one of the first orbs comes towards him and before they explode...Absorbs them? Yes, that's what happens out of nowhere what looks like a black miasma swirls from his palm and swallows the first few orbs as they come and it seems like he's just about ready to do the same to the others. Luck seems to be on Nanoha's side though. The next few detonate before getting into Touta's apparent absorption range and the blast ends up knocking him back off his feet. The blast also sends him blasting to the ground as the hula-hoop he had been spinning since getting out of that little smoke typhoon stops spinning. Maybe she sees it and maybe she doesn't but all of a sudden Touta explodes again! It's so sudden and she definitely didn't have anymore of her orbs to launch. For a moment though it looked like one of her orbs had ended up popping out of his arm again as he fell...But who's to say? The blast definitely doesn't leave Touta unscathed though as he slowly picks himself up it looks like he's lost an arm... "Uuugh, that wasn't fun..." As he realizes his own injuries though he can't help but try to lighten the mood just a little, "Guess you're not the only one who's suffered injuries huh,hehe?" Perhaps it's in poor taste but he thought that joke was a killer. "Still...If that's the case I guess we both just gotta keep fighting through the pain. And that's definitely something I can do!" Picking up his sword again, Touta resumes the assault. This time magnifying the weight of his blade and using it to create a make-shift ranged attack as he slams it into the ground to kick up boulders towards Nanoha. If they actually do any damage he'll be surprised but he's got another attempt in mind.... "ONE-HUNDRED THOUSAND FOLD!!!" The boy shouts his attack but he's still way too far to connect from this distance with a bladed attack. And that's when Nanoha might realize between the gaps in those incoming rocks of something else flying her way. Touta's black katana shoots through the air like a missile. This kid just launched his sword at her!!!
Nanoha Takamachi	Nanoha is somewhat confused by what just happened. Like Touta is with her, she's not entirely familiar with his abilities. She's also surprised with how much damage he took by that last blast. Is it something to do with him absorbing her magic? That would make some sense. Depending on how that particular ability works. Either way, Nanoha does look a little apologetic, even while knowing Touta's a tough one to keep down, "Sorry about that!" But Touta seems determined to continue through his injuries. It's a familiar feeling to Nanoha, who nods in agreement, "Yes, I think we can keep going for a while!" As Touta prepares his next attack, Nanoha is already in the process of preparing her own. Once more the cartridge system at the neck of her staff slides back. CA-CHUNK. CA-CHUNK. CA-CHUNK. This time the power visible flares up around Nanoha as she levels her staff towards Touta, "Let's go, Raising Heart!" Chime, <Alright. My Master. Strike Flame.> A blade of concentrated mana projects out from the tip of the staff. Four wings of light flash into existance from the staff's head. As Touta's blade strikes the ground, unleashing a blast of debris towards her, she calls out, "ACS Driver!" Raising Heart chimes in response, <Charge.> Rocket flames burst out the bottom of the staff, the wind quickly whipping around Nanoha. She then suddenly blasts forwards, flying straight towards the rain of debris, surrounded in an aura of pink. As Nanoha reaches the it, the debris doesn't even get a chance to strike her as the power of her attack obliterates all of it. She's able to spot the thrown sword in time, using her impressive agility in the air to roll out of the way at the last moment, letting the blade slice through the air beside her. Nanoha then returns to her course, streaking straight towards Touta, the ground ripping up beneath her as she does so. With her staff held forward, the mana blade primed to pierce right through her target, Nanoha flies right into Touta.
Touta Konoe	Nanoha not only avoids his blade, she demolishes Touta. It all happened so quickly as he watched it. One moment he thought he was gonna catch her off guard only to realize that she was the one who still had a trick up her sleeve all along. Raising Heart prepares it's cartridge system, the magic in her staff flares wildly that even through the debris Touta realizes something is going on, Raising Heart's voice rises again. Before he can even really question what she's up to he can see her speeding past the debris, past Kurobo, her wand's blade aimed at him as the rockets ignite only increases the speed at which she charges him. There's no way to absorb the attack in his position and no time to dodge. There's only one thing he can do... Touta lowers his stance, getting into as balanced of a posture as he possibly can. He grits his teeth and in the next moment he feels the impact. Nanoha's blade pierces right through his chest. With the blade already piercing through him, with his non-dislodged arm he grips at Raising Heart trying to keep in from plunging any deeper in and sapping anymore of his strength. His legs doing everything they can to keep themselves stabilized on the grab, literally trying to hold fast as they're up against that of rockets. The ground beneath his feet crumbles as they make a path, the soles of shoes wear and tear before only his tooth gripping the earth remain. The Nobus on both sides do anything they can to avoid becoming bowling pins to this disastrous turn of events! Whatever he does though he just can't seem to stop the force that is Nanoha Takamichi though!!! "Return!!!" If he can't stop her with one hand though, he'll need to stop her with two. Somewhere on this battle field there's a Nobu poking at a detached arm, and before its eyes it watches as that arm goes flying across the battlefield to re-attach itself to Touta. The moment it reattaches itself there's no thought about it, he uses that fist with the type of strength he uses to wield his blade as he slams it into Nanoha hoping to break her off course and stop her momentum. Otherwise...This could very well be the end!
Nanoha Takamachi	Nanoha is in a similar situation to Touta. Her attack continues as she pushes him forward. She can't let go of her staff or risk losing control. Nor can she do much to dodge. So she has no choice but to take the punch head on while she prepares for what's to come. The fist smashes Nanoha in her side, the force throwing her off course and sending her into a tumble. The blade and magic wings vanish as Nanoha hits the ground and bounces a few times. She accidentally lands atop a poor Nobu. Taking a moment to recover, she climbs off the smaller magical creation and asks, "Sorry! Are you okay?" The allied Nobu 'Nobu's at Nanoha, before rushing off to rejoin the battle. Nanoha proceeds to stand, though a little more slowly than after previous attacks. She's looking a little wobbly. But there's still a lot of determination in her eyes. And power too. Evidenced by the spell circle that forms on the ground beneath her. As she stares down Touta with with those determined eyes, she calls out, "Blaster One." CA-CHUNK. CA-CHUNK. CLAK. The magazine ejects from the neck of the staff. Nanoha reaches back to pull out a new one, sliding it into place quickly with practiced ease. The slide resets and eats another cartridge. CA-CHUNK. Two objects appear floating in the air beside Nanoha, with a shape similar to the head of her staff. They quickly split up, forming an equilateral triangle between themselves and Nanoha. With Touta at the center. Spell rings appear beyond the tips of Nanoha's staff and the two remote bits as Nanoha starts, "Photon-" Magic gathers beyond the rings, growing in size quickly. Nanoha barely has to wait but a few moments before she finishes, "Smasher!" The three identical spells are unleashed, moderately sized beams of pink blasting forward from all of them to converage on Touta's location.
Touta Konoe	Touta finds himself doing something he rarely does after an attack...Catch his breath. Touta's use to having to take huge chunks of damage, but he's built to handle that. What he's not built for is her magic that just keeps draining him mentally and physically. It's putting an actual hindrance to even someone that's built to take a hit, "Nanoha! You alright over there?!" Before he even receives an answer he can already see her picking herself up to help out a Nobu. It brings a smile on his face though. You're way too much! It's a good thing I didn't face you in the MECC, I think you'd have knocked me out then...But...I wanna...Think I've grown a bit since then though so..." He wants to keep progressing. But that is not a leisure he has. Nanoha's spell takes time to charge and Touta tries rushing back over to his hoop that fell to the ground. He looks like he's desperate for it even. If he has it he figures he can absorb the attack again instead of having to deal with the insane mental and physical drop from her attack. Though he's so exhausted already he can't even show off that speed from before. Nanoha unleashes her triple bound spell and Touta's forced into a dive towards his hoop. The boy doesn't make it... Touta finds himself face first into the floor. It almost even looks like he's knocked out for a moment. The little meat miracle finds himself pushing himself back onto his feet still. Though he looks dead on his feet, and not in the living dead / vampire sorta way. Though he's still forcing a smile as he looks like he's about ready to keel over, "Yeah, I think that would have definitely done me in...And honestly...I'm already tapped out. So I feel really cheap about this..." The exhausted boy raises the same palm he had absorbed her attacks with prior, it's trembling trying to maintain itself up, but it's aimed right at Nanoha to... "/SABLE SIDESTICK!!!/" ...Do nothing. It was a bluff. All of it. The reason to run where he was, wasn't to get his hoop. He knew that there'd be no way he'd get Revolution going before she hit him, so his goal was simple. Position Nanoha inbetween his blade and himself. Upon Touta's call the blade immediately flies through the air in a single flight path back towards him, and now with Nanoha in between the two he intends to have it slam into her from behind as it tries to return back to Touta. It's a bit of a gamble considering she dodged once before, but one was always most vulnerable after landing a blow...Plus...He might kinda wanna see if he can pull off the same thing she had done with her first attack. He might be a little petty like that...
Nanoha Takamachi	Sable Sidestick? Wasn't that the name that Touta keeps trying to call- <Master!> Too late. Nanoha turns at the warning, but not fast enough to react to seeing the blade flying towards her. It strikes her head in the side of the head, which is knocked hard to the side by the blow. Nanoha's body soon quickly follows as she falls over to the ground. The battling Nobus are stop and stare at the fallen Nanoha. There's silence on the battlefield... ... Rustling. Nanoha's arm scrapes across the rocky ground. She places her hand against it, slowly pushing herself up. She seems rather wobbly as she stands once more. As she does so the ribbon holding her ponytail up tears, floating off on the wind and letting her hair fall down straight. Nanoha is looking very, very beat up. Her Barrier Jacket is torn in several places, cut in another. On her side, a bruise can be seen forming where Touta punched her. And she's breathing fast from the physical exertion she's been put through for this fight. Nanoha manages to give Touta smile, despite her state, saying "I don't know... I saw the MECC... There were a lot of powerful people... I don't think I would have made it as far as you..." Nanoha definitely seems worn out. But she STILL has power! And her smile shows she's having too much fun to give up now. Recovering her senses, Nanoha plants her feet into the ground. A spell circle forms. She swings her staff around to point towards Touta, magic starting to gather beyond it. However, it looks to be charging slower than before. Maybe if Touta can reach her, he can- Nanoha's remote bits swoop down on Touta from above, strands of pink trailing behind them. They quickly circle around him, trying to wrap him up in a magic bind. Chasing him if they have to. All the while, Nanoha continues to charge up her attack. A new spell ring forms around the growing orb, which is getting larger than anything she's fired so far. Nanoha starts out, "Divine..." Touta might still be able to break free of the binds using force. Providing an opportunity to avoid the coming destruction. Or not. Either way, Nanoha finally shouts, "BUSTER!" The gathered magic bursts, rushing forward in a large beam that streaks straight towards Touta. It carves a trench in the ground as it does so, ripping up earth and vaporizing it. Whether or not the beam hits Touta, it still continues onwards, creating a path through the ground and battling Nobu armies until it finally expends itself in the side of a large rocky rise. As the light from the attack finally fades, there's a large hole where the beam had drilled into the rock. All the Nobu who had been caught in the blast, on both sides, are lying on the ground in a daze. They don't look to be getting up any time soon. Nanoha wobbles.
Touta Konoe	That was it for Touta. He knows it the moment his blade finally returns back into his hand after bucking through Nanoha. The moment he feels it in his grip, it feels so damn heavy, and it's not even using any of its magic to make it that way. He's just that exhausted from this fight. So the moment he sees Nanoha get back up there's a bit of a mix of excitement and regret that wells up in him. A somber look as he stares at his opponent returning to the fight even after being beaten down so far. "Ya know, as someone who's taken a lot of hits... I gotta say...You really are tough. It's one thing to get back up again...But to smile through the tough of it...And to keep talking it up when you're exhausted...You're pretty monsterous yourself Nanoha." Maybe that sounds a bit rude but he honestly means it in the most sincere way possible. This is where the finale occurs, the bits expand out and seal him, preventing him from even attempting to charge her. But truth be told. He's got no energy to channel at this point. He's exhausted as an immortal can get. Nanoha finds herself free to charge her attack to completion and as her Divine Buster finally shoots forth, there's only one thing that Touta can do in this situation as he's pinned. He just gives her that bright, yet goofy smile that he tends to give. Touta gets sent blasting by the large beam without any sort of protection and the light consumes him as it travels up the rocky rise. The battle's clearly concluded, there's just one thing...Where's Touta? His Nobus begin scavenging around for a few seconds trying to find his body. But they can't seem to no matter where they look they just can't seem to fin the boy... "NOBUUUUUUUU!?!?!?!?!?!" The sound of a random Nobu starts running in a panic out of nowhere as it rushes towards the others. It falls flat on its face before chanting at the others. A few other Nobu go back to the original location, "Oh good...You guys found me." Touta's voice can be heard from behind a pillar of rocks. The Nobus track him by his voice and pull him out...Or well...They pull his dislodged out... Suddenly there end up being more Nobu that shout. Though it's not in panic. One starts chanting as it waves a hand in the air. Another a foot. One finds a hand a foot! There's even a squad of them that found his torso! This totally isn't awkward... "Great job guys, alright you guys mind letting me talk to Nanoha for a se- Wait, where are you taking me?! Ah?! Hold on, I'm not done ye- Hey don't play around with that! Nanoha! Sorry, I wanna talk to you when I get myself back together! It's impoooooooortant!" The boy gets dragged off in pieces as the Nobu make their mandatory retreat...Into a plane.
Nanoha Takamachi	Touta is gone. Nanoha's bits vanish into sparkles of light as they are finally dismissed. Nanoha herself collapses to a sitting position on the ground, letting her staff follow to rest across her lap. She lets out a deep breath as she relaxes, before looking down at her staff with a smile, "Well, Raising Heart. I think we-" Nanoha pauses as she hears shouting. It's Touta! Though she can't see him. No doubt carried off by her attack. She would go check on him, but she's rather exhausted after that last attack. Her mana levels almost at zero. Nanoha tilts her head as she listens to the shouts, confused as to what's happening. Finally they get distant and stop. Nanoha blinks, looking at her Device, "I wonder what that was about?" Raising Heart simply chimes with an unsure tone. Nanoha shrugs and just sits there, intending to rest for a while before she returns. And in the background behind Nanoha, the Nazery Nobu all give out cheers of 'Nobu!' as they charge into the abandoned outpost. The old flag is pulled down and a new one rises to take its place!
