Subaru Yagami's brown hair fell into her eyes as the teen soared through the air, Raising Heart in staff mode. She was dressed in a short brown skirt, split up one side, along with stockings, black boots and gloves and a matching brown jacket with gold trim. The staff felt good in her hands, warm and oddly alive, even as she could feel the low level telepathic communion going on between them. Knowledge from the gem flowed in her mind as she took off over Tokyo bay, seeing the sunken ruins deep beneath the waves.
Alicia Testarossa swept in fast, the blond haired young woman flying up in her black leotard and cape, her weapon Bardiche in sword mode. “Jet Zamber!” she yelled, swinging for Subaru as she dodged swiftly.
“Reverent Buster!” Subaru yelled, the staff glowing as it fired off a powerful stream of pink energy that tore Alicia's cape.
“Nice,” Alicia agreed, racing in as she gestured to fire off a burst of electricity, “Lightning!”
“Round Shield!” Subaru managed to throw up a barrier, the lightning dancing across it then moved aside before Alicia could attack, “Flash Move!”
Alicia ducked as Subaru nearly took her head off with a rapid swing of Raising Heart. She punched her back, forcing Subaru away, then the other woman signaled for a break as they both hung in midair, panting tiredly.
“Do you want to try out that, now?” Alicia asked once they both caught their breaths.
“No time like the present,” Subaru agreed a little weakly. Reaching the height she wanted Subaru pointed the staff downward as she concentrated, free magical energies from all over the area pouring in. “Reverent,” she yelled, pointing her staff at the sphere of energy, “BREAKER!”
The energy bolt from the staff hit the sphere and was multiplied many times, blasting into the water spectacularly yet also mostly harmessly. The pulse of power faded away in moments, leaving the young woman panting softly for breath.
“Well done,” Alicia congradulated her.
“It wasn't as powerful as Raising Heart showed me,” Subaru frowned, floating as the energies faded away.
“Nanoha Takamachi had a incredible magical potential,” Alicia shrugged, “personally I'm surprised you could even generate this attack so quickly. Plus, we didn't throw around a lot of combat energy, so there wasn't much for you to draw on.”
“Thanks,” Subaru smiled back.
Fate hefted Bardiche, the weapon in it's usual scythe mode. “Did you want to spar a bit longer, or...?” she asked mildly.
“No more sparing, please,” Subaru begged mildly, “I'm already hurting.”
Alicia laughed, “Hey, you got in a few good hits on me this time.”
“I'm getting there,” Subaru conceded, “not bad for a few weeks practice.”
Alicia checked the chronometer she had added to her costume's wristband, noting that it was nearly time. “Instead of scrapping more,” she said, “why don't we go meet the others early?”
“Sounds like a plan,” Subaru agreed as they both soared off.
Not long after receiving Raising Heart Subaru had been offered a transfer to Tokyo Center High, and Alicia had also chosen to attend, for various reasons. In truth Alicia wasn't used to dealing with people, having been raised in the remote realm of El Hazard among scholars and mystics, and was using the school to become more socialized. Of course Subaru was happy to have her there too,and the young women were becoming fast friends.
Also attending TCH was Erica Tenoh, the daughter of two of the powerful Senshi who watched over Crystal Tokyo, and Catrine a hardsuit pilot whom Alicia had trained against. Both young women had extended the hand of friendship to them both, and they were becoming a regularly seen group around town.
“So, how does it feel to be a citizen of the realm?” Subaru teased as they flew into town, staying above the level of flying vehicles and below the altitude for sub-orbital craft.
“Not much different than before,” Alicia admitted wryly as they flew along. “I was faintly surprised when the city paid me for assisting with that fire....”
The two waved to Nadesico Kinomoto, who was apparently flying somewhere on the coast, then they headed to one of the popular entertainment districts of the city. The two girls descended to street level, dropping down to the pavement, then in a burst of light shifted out of their barrier jackets into regular clothes.
“Does this look all right?” Alicia asked a little nervously, her long skirt flowing around her legs, matched with a ruffled blouse. It was surprisingly cute for such a seemingly tough woman, only marred by the black glove bearing the Bardiche gem.
“It looks fine,” Subaru reassured her, the young woman wearing a simple trousers and shirt combo, with Raising Heart on a chain around her neck.
The two young women hurried through the crowds, Subaru keeping a eye on Alicia as she did so. She felt protective of the other girl, somehow, even though she knew Alicia was more experienced than she was. Maybe it was the unearthly quality that Alicia had?
“Hey!” Erica Tenoh waved hello, the black haired young woman standing by a bubbling fountain in the busy square. Beside her Catrine was sitting on the edge of the pool, her short blue hair framing an attractive face.
“How did your practice go?” Catrine asked as they trotted up, the young woman smiling at them a bit nervously.
“Fairly well,” Alicia smiled, “Subaru is getting better and better.”
Subaru got the sense that Catrine was a bit uncomfortable with Erica being their friends, which she supposed she could understand. Catrine viewed herself as being relatively normal compared to the two of them, and wasn't sure she could compete with Alicia and Subaru. Not that they were competing, but Catrine didn't know that.
“Or Alicia's just letting me get in a few hits,” Subaru offered mildly. She smiled at Catrine, “I hear you're sparring with Alicia, too? That's pretty impressive.”
“It's not so much,” Catrine smiled back a bit more warmly.
“So what did you want to do today?” Erica asked them as they all began to move as a group through the plaza.
Embarassingly Subaru's stomach chose that moment to growl. “Uhm, could we grab some lunch first?” she asked sheepishly.
Catrine chuckled warmly, then she looked at Erica. “Do you know anyplace...?” she asked slyly, giving her girlfriend a wink.
“I think I have just the place in mind,” Erica agreed as she led them through the busy streets.
The night club was not what Subaru had in mind when she suggested lunch, but she gamely followed Erica into Arisugawa's Locket. She had heard descriptions of the place, but the reality was much more than she had expected.
First of all, despite it being midday the place was packed with women. There were ladies of all shapes and sizes, colors and even several species, all packed into the busy club. The costuming was strange and bewildering, with everything from street clothes to uniforms, and even costumes of other eras and far away places.
They skirted the busy dance floor, Alicia pausing as she saw something. “Is that a Library over there?” she blinked.
“Yup,” Erica lead the way, presumably from having been there before, “you can check it out once we get Subaru fed.”
They passed the thankfully unused kareoke stage and headed for the tables set up off to one side, thankfully just as a group got up to go. Catrine quickly grabbed a seat before anyone else could, and the rest took their places around the table.
“Nicely done,” Subaru congradulated her.
“Thanks,” Catrine grinned as a waitress came up to their table.
“Hello, I'm May,” the bosomy brown haired woman smiled warmly, “welcome to Arisugawa's Locket. What can I get you?”
“What's the lunch special today?” Erica asked curiously.
They listened to May rattle off dishes, then they ordered. She was soon off, the maid garbed woman cutting through the crowd with ease, then soon returning with the trays of food and soft drinks for them all.
“Thank you very much,” Subaru said politely.
“Enjoy your meal,” May beamed, then hurried off.
“Is this place run by the same Lord Arisugawa who serves as a general in the Queen's Court?” Alicia asked as they ate.
“Juri Arisugawa, yes,” Catrine said, nodding eagerly. “She was a companion of Sailor Moon in the Twenty First century, and gained immortality from the demi-god Dios.”
“I never heard that,” Subaru noted as she ate, “I thought she had some kind of power to revolutionize the world, or some such.”
“Is revolutionize even a word?” Erica joked.
Alica chuckled, “Apparently so.”
Catrine gave Erica a scolding look. “Apparently Juri hired several immortals and long lived beings for her staff, and the place has been open steadily since the Twenty First century,” she told the others eagerly, clearly a fan.
“Mostly steadily,” Erica corrected, “it closed temporarily during World War Three, as well as during the Black Moon crisis.”
“Still, it's a hell of a accomplishment,” Subaru noted thoughtfully, munching on her food with the hunger of a still growing teenager.
“Indeed,” Alicia started, then froze as she met the gaze of a older blonde haired woman in the crowd.
Said older blond looked equally stunned, seeing as she looked like a elder sister to Alicia, plus about fifteen years. “Nanoha, look!” she exclaimed, pointing at Alicia.
“Wait, what...?” Subaru started as the gen around her neck flared to life.
“MASTER,” Raising Heart exclaimed as the two older women hurried over.
“Holy...,” Erica started, her eyes widening. Turning to the three girls she added, “Did I mention this bar time travels a bit?”
“No, you didn't,” Alicia said weakly as she met her elder sister's eyes.
“My name is Nanoha Takamachi,” the brown haired woman said as she looked at the girl who looked just like a young Fate, as well as the girl wearing her device, Raising Heart.
“Subaru Yagami,” she offered her hand, “and this is....”
“Alicia,” Fate breathed out, “but how....?”
“It's a long story,” Alicia said as they grabbed seats and everyone sat down.
