Something I've written months ago and still writing it now from time to time, posted in ff.net but I would also think that I might make things interesting and challenging myself here in Beast Lair, plus I thought I want to make a difference. I'm no skilled writer like Five X and Heroslayer but I do what I can do.
Disclaimer:
Characters in Fate Stay Night and Nanohaverse don’t belong to me.
Notes
This fic takes place in the a crossover timeline [both Nausverse and Nanohaverse]. Thus, it explains the changes with their respective timelines. Oh, and this will be following Fate Route.
Heroic DeedIt’s a very strange thing to wonder that an action of one person can change your life forever. The same goes well with Nakajima Subaru, daughter of Major Nakajima Genya of the 108th Battalion of TSAB (Time-Space Administration Bureau).
In the future, this powerless girl will grow up to be an enforcer of Riot Force 6,
This is how she meets her friend and reliable mage partner, Teana Landster,
This is how she meets her fellow enforcers, Caro Ru Lushe and Erio Mondial,
This is how she reunites with one of her idols, Takamichi Nanoha,
This is how she first meets her fellow combat cyborgs for the first time in her life,
This is how she creates a powerful bond with her intelligent device, Mach Caliber,
This is how she surpasses her own sister, Nakajima Ginga,
This is how she fights like her mother at the end of the JS Incident, Nakajima Quint,
This is how she meets her new sisters, Nakajima Cinque, Deicei, Nove and Wendi,
This is how she will eventually meet the former Dark Ruler of Galea, Ixpellia,
This is also how she will meet the young man in dire need of rescue, Touma Avenir,
And most importantly, this is how she realizes her dreams of saving people.
However, what people don’t know that a huge part of her dream of stems not from the moment The ace of aces rescued her from the blazing inferno, but during a much more earlier time on that same day when a man in red appeared in her life.
[Scene Break]
A year has passed since that day.
Now, Nakajima Subaru is no longer the same weak and crying girl from before. She is now a young woman applying for the TSAB Ground Forces courses. This 15 year old girl can finally fight for herself. Equipped with her rollerblades and Revolver Knuckle, she aces through the examinations, fulfilling her dream to save people just like how her ‘hero’ saved her. If possible, she wants to meet her ‘hero’ again and say thank you to him. It wasn’t an easy journey, as she admits that she trains vigorously every day. Many times she has been defeated by her own weakness, fatigue and the daily routine she has partake herself into.
However, it never dampens her spirit to be just like her hero and Takamichi-san.
Teana Landster, on the other hand is an opposite of what Subaru is. Unlike her roommate, her reason for joining is merely to prove to herself that she is indeed qualified to be an enforcer and also to prove that her family’s magic is not as useless as it perceives. Needless, to say, this girl is very hardworking and very determined to reach her goal. Before, she failed to enter the Captain Air Force due to dropping out air combat training and recently join the ground forces where she first meets her roommate. With her own custom device, she will surely ace through Ground Forces.
That is if her partner can keep her head in the game.
During their time together as team-mates, Teana learned a few things about her. One, she’s a complete klutz. Why? It’s because she’s the reason why the instructor keeps berating them over her ‘mistakes’. It was so bad that even she wonders if she is taking their training seriously. Two, that Nakajima girl is trying so hard to be her friend, forget trying it’s more like forcing her to be her best friend. Another thing is that her roommate admires Takamichi Nanoha, the person responsible for her rescue in a big fire; told by the said girl’s sister, Nakajima Ginga.
Normally, she doesn’t really care about her roommate’s life story but she can’t help feel that there is one shred of information missing……How on Mid-Childa did she even last that long inside the blazing flames? The smoke alone could’ve finished her off before her ‘hero’ arrived.
It is a mystery until today, at least.
“Nah Subaru what’s this on the table?”Teana Landster, Subaru’s roommate asked after stumbling upon an old notebook lay on the said girl’s desk out of curiosity with small portions of what seems to be newspaper cuttings sticking out. After flipping a few pages, she notices that there were all about a similar incident published from different newspapers. The articles inside seems to be familiar somehow……….
“Old newspaper clippings; why?”Subaru on the other hand, just walked out of the bathroom, with a towel covering her head; indicating that she has just finished taking a shower. The only reason she’s not freaking out on her classmate for going through her stuff is mostly because she doesn’t want to be punished again by Tea……….
“All of them are about a fire incident from last year. Any reason in particular you’re collecting them?” She eyed her with a suspicious look, assuming that the incident should at least traumatize the girl. What Subaru didn’t know is that her roommate is actually curious on why such specific event are kept as if they are no different than a scrapbook filled with pictures of Takamichi Nanoha she found on Subaru’s desk. Plus, she expects nothing more than something like this from her roommate anyway. Her admiration for her hero is getting a bit too far; but recording the details of the incident that took place in her life may be a bit too much of being a fanatic over The Ace of Aces and not to mention slightly disturbing. Then again, this is something what her roommate will actually do anyway.
“I was there Tia.” The look on Teana’s face changed; now, she looks guilty since the older sister did mention of the incident that took place. “Hero-san saved me and ah-” Too late, Subaru accidently let it out.
“Hero-san?” She gave her a look. “Takamichi-san you mean? You’re calling her hero-san?” Deep down she feel like laughing at how childish her roommate is, but then again The Ace of Aces has indeed saved people before and it’s no wonder that many people will actually refer to her as a superhero.
“Well......No……I mean……Takamichi-san did save me but Hero-san-well-he-” She stuttered frantically. It also doesn’t help that her face flushed due to her stuttering.
Wait, hero-san and Takamichi-san are two different people? A male at that? Teana on the other hand sighed, knowing what to do to make her roommate talk. There’s something wrong with this picture and she’s going to find out………
People outside their dormitory could’ve sworn that they heard the Nakajima girl cried in horror inside her own room. Fully aware that the identity of her roommate is Teana Landster, everything else clicks; making sense that the cry of help is nothing more than a cry of being punished for her silly antics.
And so, Subaru reluctantly (after being pinched at the cheek very very hard) told her the entire truth.
[Scene Break]
The entire place is filled with hot burning flames, incinerating everything it touches into ash.
However, what is most dangerous than the flames is the smoke emitted strangles any living thing from breathing trapped inside the ensnaring inferno. This is no different for the young combat cyborg Nakajima Subaru.
“Gin-Nee….” She pleaded for her sister to save her. In these last moments, She regretted running off everywhere across the airport, trying to find her sister instead of asking an adult to help her before the fire broke out. She can feel herself choking from the smoke, her consciousness leaving her in a matter of seconds.
The last thing she sees before she’s beginning to pass out is the sight of an ominous tall figure standing, with burning hot flames in the background. He was dressed in red clothing, with armor. His hair is as white as snow; she vaguely remembers seeing it on television back home about a documentary about one of the newly-explored worlds by TSAB that experience wintertime all year around. His physical height surpasses or at least matches her father, making him look intimidating. He has the most vicious looking eyes she’s ever seen in her entire life; tears nearly fell from her own as she feels scared of what is going to happen to her.
If it desire for her death that is………………
With gentle and care, the ominous figure scoop her from the ground and begin walking (limping, judging by the speed he’s going). She can tell it’s a he based on what she suspects as a muscular body as he held her closer to him. Young Subaru couldn’t see much, but what she can remember and what she will always remember is that the he had a smile on his face, as he saves her from her apparent doom.
Together, the both of them limp away from this blazing inferno.
[Scene Break]
Teana listen to the story with full attention.” Nah, Subaru did you ever found out about this ‘hero-san’ of yours? She asked, feeling slightly awkward saying it as she finds it childish. Although she has to admit that her roommate has a very interesting story to share. Never would she expect there was more to the story of what happened the klutzy girl other than just a repeat of the same tale where The Ace of Aces saving her from the flames. Now it all makes sense on why she was able to last so long.
Now, regarding this ‘hero-san’ of hers, Teana’s brain immediately interprets that he was either a victim from the said incident, rescuing the child version of her roommate by pure instinct or he is a Time Space Administration Bureau officer, assigned for search and rescue. However, it is most likely that the man is the latter since the color of red is part of the uniform assigned for the TSAB officers aerial division. Though Subaru's description of his attire contradicts this. The only logical explanation that she can relate with her ‘he is a TSAB offcier’ theory that she can think of is that he’s either wearing a custom uniform, indicating that he is a high ranked mage or he is from a military organization from a non-administrated world; if not a mercenary or a bounty hunter. No one with normal jobs would want to wear armor right? Still, there is one more factor before she can convince herself that her theory is correct; is he even a mage in the first place? Why didn’t he cast a barrier to protect them from the smoke and flames? Or fly out of there? Loss of Device? Or he just simply can’t cast any spells? Who is this ‘hero’ person?
“I never did found out who he was….” Nakajima Subaru, normally a very genki girl feels down as if her loved one has just died.
“What happened?” The pigtailed girl asked. From her point of view, the sight of her purple-haired roommate’s current emotion is indeed unexpected (She’s always energetic, much to her annoyance).
“He vanished right before my eyes…..” She lamented the final moments she shared with him. Back then, hero-san somehow literally disappeared as if he was never there in the first place.
She can still remember how he tried to limp faster, forcing his body to comply.
She can still remember how he grits his teeth harder as he limps forward; every step taken felt heavier than the last.
She can still remember how his kind eyes turn back to what seems to be murderous set of eyes before, filled with anger and scorn towards something; something that young Subaru does not understand.
She can still remember how he suddenly shouts out of the sudden, scaring her. The words were foreign to her, but have the meaning of discord and hate.
She can still remember how gentle he was placing her down on the ground, his mouth went silent from the string of curses and his murderous eyes literally vanished instantly.
She can still remember how he seems to vanish before her eyes, turning into sparkling dust bit by bit.
Last but not least, she can still remember the last time he look at her with that honest-looking smile on his face; yet filled with sadness and regret, as if saying goodbye to her.
The ensnaring flames somehow look less scary compared to watching him disappear, her hands wish to touch his face, to hug him and won’t let go. Maybe just maybe she will be gone from this place along with him.
And he vanishes to oblivion, leaving her alone.
