Chapter 2: A Knight on the Town

"The same thing we'll be doing every night from now on," Zafira's keen ears picked up Hayate's voice drifting down the hall from the bedroom, causing him to pause. "Try to take over the world's... orgasms!"

"Ooh, I like that idea," Shamal purred, causing the guardian beast to wonder what was going on.

But it was Signum's voice that really confused him. "A-are you sure this is... really such a... g-good idea?"

He could barely believe his ears. [Signum? Stuttering with a demure voice?] It was so unlike the self-assured Blazing Commander he had served all these years. What was going on? As quietly as possible, he tiptoed down down the hall and glanced into the crack of the slightly open doorway, his eyes widening at the scene.

"It's a perfect idea," a naked Hayate insisted, reclining lazily in bed between an equally naked Shamal and Signum, silvery and squiggly coils wrapped around them. "I never knew this could feel so gooood. It's our responsibility, no duty, to bring this feeling to everyone. To unite everyone in the dimensional sea with pleasure! And this lost logia of yours, Shamal, will be the key to achieving universal peace through orgasm!"

Zafira made it a point to let as many people know as possible that he was a wolf; not a dog, or a poodle, or a "cutie widdle puppykins" as the oversized woman next door used to refer to him (usually followed by squeezing and rubbing his face with her cheeks). As a wolf, he had a keen gut instinct for danger; A highly tuned "Fight or Flight" warning system that wasn't based on any logical processes. When it said "jump," he cleared the treetops. And right now, it had gone far past "Flight!" and zoomed somewhere into the neighborhood of "Shit's 'bout to get real; get the fuck out of Dodge!"

Before the slive of pizza had dropped from his mouth and hit the floor, the guardian beast had cleared the front door and made it several blocks down the street, ducking into a darkened side alley to catch his breath. He wasn't sure why he was panting so hard, or why adrenaline was surging through his body. But his keen nose picked out the definite odor of women in heat, and he remembered well the smell of Nanoha and Fate when that other lost logia had changed them. He could barely believe it, but he had long trusted his senses, and they were now screaming: "your mistress just became a sex freak!"

"Zafira, is that you?" Chrono questioned, pausing in the alley entryway. "What are you doing out here?"

The guardian beast turned and blinked and Chrono and Amy standing there, somewhat perturbed that he didn't detect their approach, but figured it was because his internal alarm was still ringing over the situation back home. He opened his mouth to tell them, but he suddenly wondered if he could really tell them what he had scene and heard, and instead spit out: "Uh, I'm just... out for a night jog!"

The pair glanced at each other, and then Amy stated, "Well, we were in the neighborhood and decided to stop by Hayate's house and see you guys. We brought a cake!"

"No!" he blurted suddenly. "You can't do that!"

Chrono raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"

For some reason, Zafira was feeling quite unable to actually articulate his feelings. "Because, uh... well... that is..."

"Honey, why don't you go ahead and I'll take care of him," Chrono suggested with a sigh. "It's probably something a little guy talk can take care of."

"Alright, don't be too late!" she told him with a smile, moving off and waving.

Chrono waved back, then strode over to the befuzzled guardian beast, and through an arm over his shoulder. "Now why don't you tell me exactly what happened? And start from the beginning."

Zafira eyed the other man, and decided to take a chance, leaning over to whisper into his ear. As the human-looking wolf explained, Chrono's eyes grew bigger and bigger.

"Hayate, what's going?" Vita questioned, approaching the door. "Zafira ran out of here really fast... and..." She froze in place, mouth continuing to work up and down, but no sound emerging.

Hayate sat up and stretched, her ample chest bobbing free of the blanket. "Well, we can't have that. Signum, Shamal, would you two be dears and go retrieve him?"

"As you wish, Mistress Hayate," Signum declared, her tone taking on a more respectful and deferential note.

The two nude Wolkenritter members hopped out of bed and strode past Vita, armor forming around them. Although the hammer knight, having seen countless battlefields filled with corpses and creatures summoned from the depths of hell, she could barely process the scene of Hayate naked in bed with Signum and Shamal. Or maybe it was the nonchalant way they were treating the "we just had three-way sex!" event. For the moment, there didn't seem to be anything that Vita could think of that could possibly shock her further.

Naturally, she was wrong.

Hayate lazily slid out of bed, totally naked as she sashayed over to the still-gaping hammer knight. Nudity wasn't the issue; it was the eight or so metal tentacles emerging from somewhere on Hayate's back, wriggling around seemingly on their own. Vita's eyes were drawn to them, almost hypnotically, and she swallowed nervously after Hayate put a finger on the smaller girl's chin and gently pushed her jaw shut.

Hayate smiled lavishly. "Now, let's see what we can do about you before we step outside..."

Vita gulped and took a hesitant step backward as Hayate continued to advance...

"Haaayaaateee!" Vita whined.

"You know you like it," her mistress cooed, adjusting the floppy ears on Vita's bunnygirl suit.

Because while Hayate had become a nymphomaniac, she still had some standards.

"Did you really  have to change my armor to... this!?" Vita complained, gesturing at the fishnet stockings. She crossed her arms over the black corset hiding her non-existent chest, feeling oddly exposed and uncomfortable.

The mistress of the Wolkenritter smiled. "But it looks so good on you! And I thought you liked rabbits."

And after all, she was still Hayate.

"Wait wait, let me see if I got this straight," Chrono stated in a disbelieving tone, eyes now half-lidded. "You think Hayate has become a sex maniac due to a lost logia, has already seduced Signum and Shamal, and plans to use said lost logia to spread orgasms to everyone on Mid-Childa?"

Zafira nodded quickly. "We have to get out of here and warn everyone!"

Chrono rubbed his temples. "Um, right. I think we better get you checked out."

"I'm not crazy!" Zafira insisted, grabbing Chrono's hand and beginning to pull. "But we have to get out of here and get help, fast!"

"I'm afraid we can't let you go anywhere," Signum stated, descending from the sky and landing behind Zafira.

"Thank you for finding him, Chrono," Shamal added with a smile, landing behind the man. "The poor dear is probably just having a bit of trouble coping, and has probably said some silly things."

Chrono chuckled. "You can say that again. He said something about you guys having a lost logia with plans to use it to seduce everyone on Mid-Childa, haha."

"Yes, that is quite silly," Shamal agreed, wrapping her arms around him from behind, trailing her fingers across his chest. "We only plan to start with Mid-Childa. Oh, and Hayate is sending me a telepathic message, telling me she would like you to come with us; she already has Amy. Just think, all of us can get so much better acquainted... naked."

"Sh-Shamal?!" Chrono exclaimed, suddenly feeling a variety of conflicting emotions.. "I'm s-sorry, but I'm a married man..."

"Oooh, that's okay, Hayate tells me Amy is fine with it," Shamal countered, then giggled as her right hand went lower. "And you can't hide your arousal from Klarer Wind's sensors."

"Ack," Chrono commented intelligently, noting that she couldn't possibly be using her device's sensors to detect that.

"Now why don't you two strong boys cum with us," Signum lamely punned, reaching for Zafira.

"You'll never take me alive!" Zafira roared, activating his magic, absolute terror motivating his actions. "Iron Yoke!"

White spikes shot up from the ground and walls, forcing the two women to jump back, while other spikes created a solid cone-like pyramid over the two men. Signum immediatley jumped back in, slashing with her sword to shatter the cone, but found it empty, revealing a large  hole instead.

"They went underground!" Signum exclaimed, diving into the opening. "After them!"

"I'll track them!" Shamal added, following. "Klarer Wind has a reading!"

Quiet descended once more upon the alley once the women had left on their chase,which continued for a few brief moments, before a pair of garbage cans rocked slightly. The lids opened just a crack, as a pair of eyes from each scanned the area.

"I think they're gone," Chrono declared with a relieved sigh. "Good thinking with that hole."

Zafira pushed his lid farther off, gingerly rising while glancing around, as if afraid the two women would be back. "Well, I did intend to escape underground. But your quick teleport was smart thinking."

Chrono joined him on the street. "I also duplicated our magic signatures and sent them off on an automated flight through the tunnels. It was a double cast, something I've had to use a few times when I wanted to throw someone off my trail."

"Still, it was quick thinking," Zafira commended him. "Now we need to... where are you going?"

"Amy might be in danger," Chrono replied, glancing around the corner into the street, making sure the coast was clear. "I have to save-"

And was quickly pulled back by Zafira's strong arms. "Are you mad?! You can't! She's lost to you; Hayate has her now!"

"Don't say that!" Chrono shouted back. "I-I won't believe it! I can still-"

The slap echoed in the alley, but Zafira only allowed the other man to reflect on it for a moment before grabbing the front of his shirt with both hands. "Get a hold of yourself, man! You're no good to us like this! If you go over there now, Hayate will just recall Signum and Shamal and capture you, too. You'll be trapped in an orgy of human female flesh!"

Chrono paused to thoughtfully consider that. "Hmmm...."

Zafira didn't hesitate; the second slap was harder. "Snap out of it!"

"Oh, uh, right, we have to save them," Chrono stated in an almost monotone voice, nodding. "So we'll need more firepower if we're going to take them down. Let's head back to the Bureau and recruit some more mages!"

Zafira agreed, and the two quickly headed off.

"[I'm so sorry that we lost them,]" Shamal sent telepathically and apologetically. "[Chrono is very clever.]"

"[No matter,]" Hayate replied, now soaring at low altitude above the night sky. "[Keep looking for now,; sooner or later, they will fall into our hands. I have Vita, Rein, and Agito searching for a suitable Pleasure Palace while I start the original plan... and I think I see a good place to start.]"

"[Understood, Mistress,]" Signum replied, signing off.

"Are you okay back there?" Hayate inquired.

Amy pauses to remove the silvery tentacle from her mouth and smile, not bothering to wipe the drool from her chin. "I'm so - oooh - gooood. I never knew it could be like - Aaah! - this! How did you - nnng! - end up like this?"

One tentacle was thrusting up under Amy's short skirt, panties having long since been lost back at the house, while another pair massaged her freely bouncing chest. The rest of the eight tentacles emerging from Hayate's back side helped support her passenger.

"I'm not really sure, it just kinda happened," Hayate admitted, then began to descend. "Hold on, I'm going down!"

"Promises, promises!"Amy giggled, and then shivered as the vibration function was activated.

"Honestly," Teana huffed as the pair walked along. "Just because you wanted to celebrate your 18th birthday by legally being able to drink alcohol, does not mean you had to get so drunk!"

"I'm not trunk!" Subaru insisted, a bit unsteadily as she leaned on her friend for support. "And if I'm old enough to fight, I'm old enough to drink!" She thumped her chest for emphasis, then giggled. "I'm just a weeee bit tipsy, that's all!"

"Sure, you are," Teana replied with a sigh, but there was a small smile on her face. Perhaps tonight she might....

But that thought was put on hold as a figure stepped out into their path. "Teana, Subaru, I'm glad I caught you!"

Subaru squinted as the pair paused,  moved her face closer, and then broke out into a grin. "Heeeey, it's Hayate! Come to celebrate my 18th birthday, toooo?"

"18, you say?" Hayate enthused, licking her lips. "That makes you legal, congratulations! Allow me to give you your present!"

Teana stared.

Some part of her mind noted that Hayate didn't seem... all there. Another part of her mind pondered whether it had something to do with the strangely hypnotic squiggly mass of tentacles behind their former Riot Force Six leader. Something Subaru apparently hadn't quite noticed yet. But before she could begin to formulate an inquiry as to their reason for being, several of them shot forward. She tried to push Subaru away and jump out of he way, but one of her ankles were ensnared and that tripped her up.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Teana demanded to know, trying to pry herself loose, wondering why she couldn't gather any magic at all.

"Whatever it is, you won't get away with it!" Subaru admonished the brick wall, then blinked and turned toward Hayate. "You can lock us up, or interrogate us, or torture us, or-"

"I just plan to take your virginity," Hayate explained sweetly.

Subaru stared. "NOOOOO! I'LL SAVE YOU, TEA!" Hayate might have underestimated the combat cyborg's strength, for Subaru promptly tackled the other woman. "TEA, RUN! YOUR LIFE IS AT STAKE! YOU MUST LIVE!"

The action did loosen the tentacle's hold on the orange-haired woman long enough for Teana to get loose. "I-I'll go get help!" she yelled as she bolted into a nearby empty office building for cover, hoping it had a back entrance.

Hayate finally compensated, multiple tentacles pulling Subaru off with increased strength, and turned her gaze towards the door the other woman had taken, while exhaling in frustration. "Dammit, cock-blocked!"

"Subaru, you idiot!" Teana seethed silently as she ran through the halls, blinking the wetness from her eyes while looking for a door on the other side. "You just had to play the hero. You better be alright..."

She turned a corner and found an unlit exit sign, feeling relief; she was almost out! Her magic seemed to be coming back, too. But as she reached for the handle, a hi-pitched screech echoed through the hallway.

"Kiiiiyaaaa!"

"Subaru?" Teana questioned, glancing around.

"I'm merely accessing the building's intercom system," came Hayate's voice. "If you want to save your friend, I suggest you come back. Otherwise..."

"N-no!" came the cyborg's obviously distressed voice again. "N-not that! Anything but... A-a-aaaah!"

[She's being tortured...] the gun mage realized, a quivering uncomfortable feeling form in her gut while wincing at the next scream. She glanced toward her hand on the door handle, noticing it was shaking. [She saved me, but now...]

"Oh god!" came Subaru's panicked and stress-filled cry. "Oh god! Oh go-mmmmph!"

"Well, what is it to be, junior Enforcer Lanster?" Hayate purred. "If you want to find us, we're in the large amphitheater on the first floor."

The gun mage grit her teeth, then turned and ran down the hall, remembering passing a sign that indicated something about an amphitheater. She just couldn't leave Subaru to... whatever it was Hayate was doing to her. Her resolve was made firm even as she made a promise to herself; both of them would walk out of here, or they'd go down together.

[Just be alright, you big dummy!] Teana commanded inwardly, throwing open the doors and pointing her gun inside, ready to take Hayate out with a crack shot.

But there was only a single individual laying on the stage, with no sign of her former section six commander.

"Subaru!" Teana exclaimed worriedly, quickly sprinting down the ramp and then leaping up onto the stage. She knelt down and cradled her best friend's head. "Speak to me! What happened? Where is Hayate?"

"Oh Tea..." the cyborg gasped in a hoarse voice, tears in her eyes. "It was... it was..."

"Shh, it's oka-" Teana started to say, before noticing the odd look on her friend's face.

"...sooo gooooood," the cyborg finished saying in a voice that greatly resembled a moan.

The gun mage blinked. "Subaru? Wha-eek!"

Strong cyborg arms snaked up and yanked her would-be rescuer down. Normally, Teana would have been a bit disturbed by the sudden lip lock she was pulled into, even though she had partly grown used to the sexual harassment over the years that Subaru passed off as friendly teasing. However, the stroking knee between her legs seemed a bit much this time around.

"...ooobaru, ahp it!" Teana insisted against Subaru's lips, but she was no match for the cyborg's great strength.

"Oh, just go with it, Detective Lanster," came Hayate's teasing, extremely satisfied voice. "You are about to enter a world of wonderful excitement and pleasure!"

Subaru released the lip lock, and Teana was mildy disturbed to see an almost vacant lustful look in her friend's face. "Join uuuuus, Teeeaaaa; it's bliiiiiiiissssss..."

The orange-haired girl manage to free an arm as Subaru's face came down, but she may as well have been trying to push back a bulldozer. This time, Teana managed to breathe through her nose... when she remembered to. For some reason, she had blanked out a bit during the french kiss, and only recalled her situation when she felt a hand massaging her right breast.

"S-Subaru!" Teana protested weakly, gasping for breath when her lips were released, only to realize with horror that her shirt was being pulled up. "H-hey!"

Subaru giggled and licked her lips. "Don't worry, I'll make this easy for both of us!"

Clothes began to fly despite the gun mage's protestations. "W-whoa! Hey! Careful with that bra! ...n-no wait, not my pant... aaah!"

In the next instant, bare female flesh rubbed against bare female flesh, and Teana felt an involuntary moan escape her lips while Subaru's mouth eagerly suckled away at her left breast and nipple.

Wait, moan?

Teana blinked, her mind in a haze, feebly pushing against Subaru's head as the blue-haired girl lovingly licked the erect teat. She grit her teeth as Subaru took in as much of Teana's breast as she could, letting it slowly slide out against her teeth, before closing firmly on the nipple and sucking hard. All the while, the cyborg's other hand roughly-yet-tenderly fondled and massaged Teana's right breast.

When her entirely-too-horny friend finally let the left breast slide out, Teana found herself strangely panting, staring at the other girl. Subaru gazed back with a grin, licked her lips once more, then leaned down and started in on the right breast. Strange and addictive feelings surged throughout her body under Subaru's wet tongue lashing assault, amplified by the cold air tingling her now very-moist and erect left nipple.

The hands shoving against Subaru's head was initially to get her to stop, but before Teana even realized it, it had become a push to get Subaru to go lower, to quench a funny tingle that had begun to burn between twitching thighs. Her body seemed to be moving of it's own accord, trying to dampen whatever it was that had started, even as she felt a cool breeze brush against another type of dampness between her legs. Teana felt her cheeks burn, whether through embarrassment or something else, she didn't know. She found it hard to think, and what thought she did manage, was torn between trying to hide what was happening down below... and wanting Subaru to go there.

The choice was taken out of her hand, as Subaru seemed to take the hint and began kissing down Teana's belly, much to the latter's horror. "S-Subaru...!"

Thighs tried to clamp shut, but they fared no better than her arms; Subaru easily pulled legs open, smiled, then dove in. Teana's back arched and her eyes widened as she encountered feelings she never knew existed. One of those feelings was now screaming at her that she wanted something *in* there, although she didn't know what. Subaru's moist and continued stimulation of a point just above, was driving every intelligent thought from her mind, reducing her to base instinctual reactions. Fortunately, Subaru obliged, spreading Teana's extremely wet quivering pussy lips, and then slowly sliding a finger in partially, working back and forth lightly a few times.

In response, Teana's hips nearly surged upwards of their own accord to further trap the exploring digit, further arching her back and turning her head upside down. That upside down viewpoint allowed her to see a grinning Hayate sitting in a chair, legs spread, right hand eagerly working between her thighs while the left worked a breast, hanging out from her partially open barrier jacket. Hayate noticed the gaze and smiled wider, then made a show of lifting her right hand and licking her fingers slowly, then lowering it again to spread her own pussy wide, as if to tease or entice. Strangely, Teana found herself staring into the opening, a barely coherent thought running through her mind wonder if that's what she herself looked like at the moment.

An "A-a-aaa-ah!" escaped Teana's lips as she found the finger probing her, suddenly push deeper inside, while Subaru's lips locked around the bared clitoris. Even though Teana knew she was being watched, she strangely no longer cared. Or rather, she couldn't spare any time or thought to care; all that mattered was driving this feeling before her, pushing it to a conclusion she could barely comprehend.

Her hands went to grab Subaru's hair in response to the powerful sucking on her clitoris, sending shock waves of tingling radiating from her groin. It was an anxiety that made her want to run or jump or move or something, and yet all she could do was involuntarily thrust her hips upward and hold on.

And then Subaru added a second finger, now thrusting them in and out, and Teana finally lost it; a powerful wave rocked her body and sent almost every single muscle into a spasm. Her vision blacked out, and when she came to, panting, Subaru was grinning at her and licking her lips.

"You're so cute when you scream," the cyborg giggled.

Teana immediately felt her cheeks began to burn. "What? I d-didn't..."

"You did," Hayate confirmed from behind. "She's a screamer. I don't think I've yet heard one that long and loud, though...."

Teana froze, now realizing that, somewhere, on the fringes of her consciousness, she may have been screaming but not entirely aware of it. She promptly bopped Subaru on the head.

"W-well, it's your fault!" she accused angrily. "What did you think you were... h-hey!"

Smooth, silvery tentacles had wrapped themselves around her wrists and ankles and lifted her up into the air. She found Subaru hovering in front of her, suspended the same way, still grinning.

"Don't worry, this will be fun!" the naked cyborg enthused.

Teana's eyes were drawn from Subaru's pert, large, and heaving breasts, to the small blue triangle near her spread legs, and the puffy lips immediately below. She swallowed, noticing the glistening from the inner thighs, and Teana wondered if she looked the same way. She definitely felt a moist wetness covering her groin and inner thighs whenever a breeze tickled that area. She somehow thought she should feel ashamed or embarrassed, but she didn't. She was more concerned about the way that silvery metallic tentacle was stroking her.

Wait a minute... it wouldn't.... "H-hey, what!?" ...would it?

Subaru was pulled close and trapped Teana's lips with hers, which distracted the natural orange-haired woman from the moment the tentacle made it's way in. Subaru's body was rubbed against hers, breasts pushing rolling around each other, as the movement began... and once more, Teana's mind went away, as drool leaked from a slowly forming vacant and ecstasy-filled smile.

A lone motorcycle hurtled down the road, but Vice wasn't in too big of a hurry; he was still debating his evening plans. [Hmm, reheated chicken breasts and then Krisa Does Clanagan? Or that frozen dinner and Roga Does Ruivera?] He paused his thoughts as his headlight began to illuminate a pair of somethings waving in the distance. [Is that...?]

He pulled up and stopped. "Chrono? Zafira? What are you two doing out here at this time of night?"

"There's no time to explain, we need you to take us to the Bureau right away!" Chrono told him urgently, jumping onto the seat behind him.

Vice glanced back, confused. "What's the big emergency?"

Zafira turned into puppy form and and hopped in front of him. "We have reason to believe Hayate is about initiate mating with all of Clanagan."

Vice blinked while looking down at the small, grey wolf pup. [Is he confusing Hayate with Krisa?] "Uhh..."

"I'm not sure if that's what is going on, but there is something strange at work," Chrono clarified from behind. "I'll explain as we mmph!"

"Explain as you what?" Vice questioned, looking back, only to find Chrono covered by some green sheet.

Shamal glanced down over her shoulder with a big smile. "Hi!" She then made a face and giggled. "Oh! Chrono! So this must be what Amy experiences!"

"Mmmmmph!" Chrono commented intelligently.

Before Vice could question further, he promptly found his vision obscured and a fleshy iron vice locked around his head. He also found that, with something smooth pressed up against his face, he had a hard time finding oxygen.

"Hmm, you are right, Shamal, there is something oddly... intriguing about venturing into battle without without panties," Signum commented, tightening her thighs as her captive desperately struggled for air.

Shamal beamed, keeping balanced upon her own captive whle magical binds snapped into place on them. "Isn't it?"

The guardian beast immediately leapt off the bike, avoiding the bind spell, and assumed human form. "Release them at once!"

"Oh, Zaffy, don't be such a party pooper," Shamal teased, then shivered. "Ooh, Chrono, Your nose that hit the spot; do it again!"

Zafira grew distressed as Chrono and Vice's struggles gradually grew still, and he took action. "Steel Yoke!"

The two women leapt off the men as the white whip lashed out, cutting the air above the two men's heads as they collapsed onto the bike, but Zafira was still worried. He knew he couldn't take on both Signum and Shamal at the same time without backup, and by the way they licked their lips at him, they knew the outcome, too.

But suddenly, binds snapped into place on both women.

"What?!" Shamal exclaimed. "Since when did Zafira know binds?"

"I... do," Chrono gasped weakly, lifting his head slightly. "Zafira... drive."

The guardian beast didn't exactly have a license to drive, but he had watched people before, and with Vice out cold and Chrono barely conscious, it was up to him. He leapt onto the bike, gunned it, and took off trying to keep the two other men balanced right in front of him, his well-honed flight or flight responses back in control once more.

"[We're so sorry, Hayate,]" Shamal sent telepathically with a saddened sigh. "[They did it to us again. By the time we found the motorcycle, it was being controlled by magic and driving on it's own. They must have ditched it elsewhere.]"

Hayate let out a breath of disappointment, as several girls moaned in pleasure, suspended by her growing mass of silvery tentacles.  "[Don't worry too much about it. At this point, I don't think they can do much, although I dearly do want to bring them into this. Return to base for now. I'll need your help converting the TSAB ground headquarters.]"

"Oh.. oh... oh!" a nude Lucino gasped, holding onto an equally nude Shari's head between her breasts; but even those sounds didn't quite make Hayate happy at the moment.

"They got away again?" Amy guessed, stepping into the room. She didn't wait for the other woman to reply. "My husband is quite smart, and Zafira isn't tempted by human women." She allowed a smile to show. "But when you dropped me off before going after Teana and Subaru, I had an idea as to how to wedge their little partnership apart, so I made a quick call." She turned and nodded to the figure in the doorway.

Hayate's lips grew into a smile, as a curious-looking Arf stepped into the room.

Alto, face buried between Lucino's legs, picked that moment to let loose a muffled orgasm.

"Take it easy and breathe," Chrono commanded, helping a coughing Vice to a sitting position in an empty parking garage.

Zafira stood guard nearby, but there was no sign of pursuit.

"Man...I never thought... or imagined..." the pilot/sniper tried to say as he got his voice back. His eyes briefly unfocused as thoughts ran back to a certain moment, forcing Chrono to slap him back to reality.

"Get a hold of yourself!" the Bureau Admiral barked. "We're going to need your help to get through this!"

"Um, yeah, right," Vice commented in a tone that almost suggested he might have gotten ahold of himself in a slightly different manner.

"If it were not for Chrono, they would have had us," Zafira stated gruffly, still peeking over the railing.

"Yeah, um, how did you manage to keep conscious after... that?" Vice queried, curious. "I could barely breathe."

This time, it was Chrono's turn to let his gaze temporarily unfocus as he mumbled, "Practice. Lots of practice." He grabbed his arms and shivered. "Have you ever tried to find time to breathe and keep your mouth on a small slippery target with your head in a vice that's only getting tighter while everything is wildly thrashing around you? And keep it up for 10 minutes or more? It's... horrible."

The other man and the guardian beast stared at him.

Chrono blinked at them and then, realizing what he was saying, shook his head. "Never mind. The point is we can't get caught, at least until we understand what we're dealing with, and now that we have a free moment, I think it's time Zafira explained."

"I'm not entirely sure," he confessed. "But I think their changed attitudes and personalities has something to with a lost logia." His eyes suddenly brightened while he slammed a fist into his palm. "That's it! This has happened before, although it was classified top secret and I was sworn to secrecy, only to reveal on a Need-To-Know basis."

Vice cleared his throat. "Well, I think I can safely say that I think we need to know."

"Anything you can tell us, Zafira, won't be held against you," Chrono assured him. "What is it?"

The guardian beast met the other two mens' gazes. "I can do you one better, and take you to someone who more intimately knows the details, and can possibly help us stop it."

Chrono and Vice glanced at each other, wondering who that could be.

A certain bi-spectacled man looked up from reading the newspaper and shivered.

"Yuuno-kun?" Nanoha questioned, glancing over from the kitchen while Fate paused the TV. "What is it?"

He gave them a perplexed look. "I'm not sure. I just got a cold feeling all of a sudden."

Will Chrono, Vice, and Zafira reach Yuuno? Even if they do, will he have a way to save them? Or will the universe be conquered by Hayate's mighty tentacles of pleasure? Tune in next time!
