Mirror Universe Nanoha

A treasure chest. A magically sealed treasure chest. On a marble altar. In the middle of a forest.
Yuno Non-Scrya swore colorfully at the simple... clicheness of it all, his fingers dancing like a master conductor as he magically analyzed, prodded, and finally dismantled the legion of enchantments and seals upon the chest that contained his prize. He'd been working for hours now, but it would be worth it: the Logia-Artifact believed to be within would fetch quite a nice price if he could claim it. He'd hoped to do so without any interference, but sadly a small group of local guardians had been nearby and had detected his work, sweeping in to deal with his intrusion. They'd be very skilled, prepared to face and best anything short of a demon in combat.
Yuno grinned as he glanced briefly to his right.
Fortunately, he had a White Devil at his command.
Nanoha's nude form stood a short distance away, where the crimson magical energies that raged around her would not interfere with his delicate work, swaying almost drunkenly in the wind and gazing listlessly at the fist-sized crimson orb in her hands that was Raging Heart. Her naked body was thickly coated in blood from the locals, whose butchered corpses lay scattered - often in several pieces - around the clearing. One particularly unfortunate guardian's remains were even located in no less than three separate trees!
The savagery, the bloodshed... oh, how it truly excited him to have such a minion under his control! He had indeed chosen well back then, on that tiny, miserable little backwater world where the Jewel Seeds had eluded his grasp. He'd lost quite a bit of an investment there and nearly damaged his standing with the Harlaown syndicate, but in the end it had all been worth it; he'd never believed he'd be able to so easily acquire such a willing and able host for Raging Heart's power! A little research on local entertainment, a simple illusion, a few empty words about love and justice and the planet's moon for whatever fool reason and then the Daemonhost was his. Glorious! Shame about that family of hers, though.
He could only hope that he'd be able to find a replacement so easily. The woman had been useful over the years - her power, her savagery, her exquisite body, all to use as he saw fit... but it'd been a full ten years now. No mere mortal could handle the strain of channeling an Infernal Device for long, and a Logia-Artifact ID like Raging Heart? Miss Takamachi would be lucky to see her twenty-fifth birthday, and the chances of her reaching thirty were astronomically low at best. He'd toyed with the idea of trying to breed a replacement out of her, but he hadn't expected her to last long when the notion had first come to mind and it was far too late to try it now. Ah well, he didn't particularly like children anyway.
Yuno frowned as he unraveled another ward, only to find yet a dozen more hidden underneath. "This is taking far too long!" he muttered, sneering down at the chest before him as if it were consciously hiding it's secrets from him.
"As you say, master." Nanoha instantly responded to his statement, eyes still gazing lovingly into the darkness swirling within the Stone in her hands, like a kind mother looking down at the smiling face of her child.
"I wasn't talking to you, slave." Yuno sneered, "Be silent! This is delicate work."
Nanoha merely nodded absently, still entranced by her device.
Yuno threw himself into his work with renewed vigor and perhaps a little less caution, eager to get the damn Logia-Artifact and get off this accursed planet already. He already had enough frustrations to work off on his minion tonight, he didn't need to risk breaking her again. That time eight years ago had nearly cost him the greatest asset he had outside of his own abilities and had nearly landed him in an Alhazredian prison, and he had no intention of repea-
"SCRYA!"
Yuno bit back a curse and sped up his work as fast as he dared. "Miss Testarossa. Come to try my patience yet again?"
"Your bounty's gone up again, Non-Scrya!" Fate Testarossa clenched her hands around her ebony Belkan swordstaff, face hard, an explosion of golden power erupting from her and causing her black cape to flap harshly on the artificial breeze. "I'm freeing your slave and bringing you in!"
"And yet again you make promises you never keep." He really didn't have time for this. "Nanoha? Kill them."
Nanoha turned, grinning malevolently, and paused for a moment. "'Them', master?"
Yuno would've blinked if it wouldn't have disrupted his work. Instead he smiled.
"Come without your sister this time, Fate-chan?" Yuno ignored her furious growl at his choice in honorific, "You'll regret that I think. Kill her, slave."
"Yes, my master." Nanoha raised Raging Heart before her.
"Nanoha, stop!" Fate shouted, stepping forward and extending one arm, "You mustn't call upon the Stone's power!"
Too late. With the psychic shriek of tormented souls - one female scream of agony much louder and more recognizable than the rest - Raging Heart exploded into streams of blood-red light, which flowed around Nanoha's body and congealed, blackening, then lightening into the foul-smelling and damp cloth of the crimson and white barrier jacket that clung tightly to her body, and her hair straightened and flowed into twin tails bound in thick red ribbons. Runes of crimson blood formed upon the exposed parts of her skin, of which her barrier jacket left many, and Nanoha's soul screamed once more as a pair of feathery crimson wings burst from her back.
Then, with a blast of dark energy, a portal to the Infernal realm tore it's way through space-time, the air around it distorting from both the blatant disruption of physics and the sheer searing heat emanating from the Hellgate.
Nanoha reached in, shuddering and moaning in a mixture of agony and pleasure as her flesh began to roast, and then pulled her arm back, the black shaft, crimson orb, and finally the bronze blade of Raging Heart's true form coming to rest in her hands, which sizzled from the effort of holding a weapon which still glowed hot with hellfire.
Then, the twin sounds of her physical laughter and psychic sobbing echoing throughout the forest, the White Devil hurled herself into the fray.

Threat Analysis
------------------
Threat: Old Alhazred Class-5 Infernal Device, Type 'Zodiac Stone'
Name: Zodiac Stone Scorpio
Aliases: Sacred Stone Scorpio, Demonic Gem, Raging Heart (present use), The Corrupter
Threat Level: EXTREME
Status: UNSEALED ROGUE
Hosted?: Yes
Host Name: Nanoha Takamachi
Host Aliases: The White Devil (present use), The Bloody Scourge
Host Status: Full Possession (late-stage irreversible)
Host Threat Potential: SS-SSS
------------------
Summary:
The Logia-Artifact presently known as "Raging Heart" is a Class-5 Infernal Device of Alhazred make, produced approximately four centuries ago at the height of the Belka-Alhazred War. One of thirteen 'Zodiac Stone' IDs produced by the Royal Alhazred War Department, the series was used to great effect by Alhazred mages during the middle and final stages of the war, though at heavy cost: as with most Class-5 ID, the Zodiac Stones had a very high burnout rate and consumed approximately one thousand seven hundred users over their half century of service.
While ten of the thirteen Zodiac Stones were successfully destroyed after the war (one being destroyed during the fighting itself) and further production of Infernal Devices banned as per the Treaty of Enhasa, two Zodiac Stones went unaccounted for after the cessation of hostilities and were believed lost. The Zodiac Stone 'Serpentis' has since been recovered and sealed, however the Zodiac Stone 'Scorpio' was only recently recovered by criminal subject Yuuno, formerly of the Midchildan Scrya tribe, and has since been bound to a female host, subject Nanoha Takamachi.
Oddly, subject Takamachi has survived more than ten years while under Raging Heart's influence, five times the average lifespan of a wartime Zodiac Stone host. It is believed that subject Takamachi's magical reserves and control must be quite high, an anomaly considering the non-magical nature of the subject's homeworld, Terra (largely destroyed during recovery of the Tome of the Night Sky nine years ago). Sadly, even considering the subject's unusual longevity, possession is late-stage and likely irreversible. Present estimates place the subject's remaining lifespan at approximately three to five years, at which time containment and sealing of the Zodiac Stone must be given high priority before it acquires a new host.
------------------
Recommended Course of Action: D-S---Retreat and Report/SS-O---Terminate On Sight
Addendum: The Midchildan Testarossa family has expressed interest in acquiring subject Takamachi for experimental purposes relating to exorcism techniques for use on late-stage possession subjects. The potential applications of such techniques are extremely valuable, but recovery of the subject is a hazardous venture due to the subject's very high magical power and threat potential coupled with effective magical support from criminal subject Yuuno Non-Scrya. Single combat with subject Takamachi is highly inadvisable, and it is recommended that any potential recovery efforts be made by a large squad of S+-rank knights and/or mages. Multiple previous attempts at recovery by the Testarossa family and the Mistress of the Night Sky have proven unsuccessful. Exercise extreme caution.

Threat: Midchilda Class-3 Infernal Device, Type Stave (Standard)
Name: Bardiche
Aliases: n/a
Threat Level: NULLIFIED
Status: DESTROYED
Hosted?: No
------------------
Summary:
The Class-3 Infernal Device Bardiche was a standard Midchildan stave-type ID, produced thirty years ago by subject Precia Testarossa in violation of the Treaty of Enhasa. Part of an effort to magically revive her dying daughter Alicia Testarossa, subject P. Testarossa sealed her creation shortly after producing it, likely as a result of the ID proving too untrustworthy with any revival process. Ten years ago, however, the ID was unsealed by subject P. Testarossa's second daughter, Fate Testarossa (note: see report on Testarossa family for further information), in an attempt to revive her sister.
As is to be expected of an inexperienced youth attempting to forge a contract with an Infernal Device, the attempt degenerated quickly, and while subject A. Testarossa was successfully revived both her and subject F. Testarossa were nearly consumed by the ID. Only the intervention of subject F. Testarossa's familiar prevented their deaths, though the familiar lost it's life in doing so.
Subject P. Testarossa sealed and destroyed the ID after the incident and has since made reparations to the Empire for violating the Treaty of Enhasa.

Whoa, whoa, wait. Ancient Belkan Empire made it to the present, instead of Mid-Childa/TSAB?
<s>How's that gonna affect</s> How has that affected Hayate, the Book of Darkness, Vivio, and all that good stuff, since I now see that apparently the Mistress of the Night Sky (who I presume is still Hayate) has attempted to catch Nanoha?

Summary: Produced prior to the Belka-Alhazred War, the Tome of the Night Sky was an encyclopedia of magic, produced as a training aid for members of the Imperial bloodline. Modifications to the Tome at the war's beginning transformed it into a powerful Class-5 Infernal Device, first wielded by Kaiser Ixpellia against the Alhazredian forces at the Battle of Loum. Unfortunately, as is the case with all IDs, the Tome of the Night Sky - now known as the Book of Darkness - eventually overwhelmed the Kaiser, resulting in her possession and death. Attempts by Kaiser Ixpellia's successor Kaiser Olivie to seal the Book of Darkness failed - though the ID was damaged during the attempt and forced to regularly consume souls and magical energy to maintain it's power - and the former Tome of the Night Sky escaped to prey upon the general population.
In the years after the Belka-Alhazred War, multiple attempts by both the Empire and the Alhazred Republic to capture and seal the Book of Darkness failed, often with severe casualties. The Book of Darkness changed hands repeatedly during this time, often consuming its host's soul within only a year's time , then laying dormant for periods of time ranging from days to decades before contracting another host. (Reports that the Book of Darkness was involved in the Midchilda Uprising a century ago remain unconfirmed.)
This situation was changed nine years ago when the Book of Darkness forged a contract with a Terran girl, subject Hayate Yagami. Subject Yagami reportedly sought the Book of Darkness' power to cure her ailing parents, assisting the ID in the gathering of magical energy in order to fulfill this desire. Imperial attempts to recover the Tome of the Night Sky were repulsed, including several attacks staged by a Crusader Team from the knightly Wolkenritter order and the assistance of the Testarossa family. Unfortunately subject Yagami was ultimately successful in gathering the magical energy desired by the Book of Darkness, which then took full possession of her and unleashed a devastating magical attack upon Terra (note: see report on Terra for further information on the effects of this attack upon a largely non-magical developing world).
Subject Yagami and the Book of Darkness were ultimately captured by the combined efforts of the Wolkenritter order and the Testarossa family. The Book of Darkness proved too powerful to completely seal, though it's destructive potential was vastly limited. As a punitive measure for her unlawful usage of the Tome of the Night Sky, which ultimately resulted both in the death of her parents and near destruction of her world, subject Yagami was collared and sentenced to lifelong penal service to the Empire. The Tome of the Night Sky was then re-contracted to subject Yagami in a controlled possession, and knights of the Wolkenritter order assigned as the subject's overseers.
Subject Yagami has thus served in this capacity for over eight years, and is expected to retain control of the ID for another four or five before termination will become necessary to prevent full possession.

No, that was from a more canon setting involving an Earth vs TSAB war. The TSAB doesn't exist here, and Earth had roughly 80% of it's population roasted by Hayate while she was possessed by Reinforce.
And at any rate, Jail in the mirror universe is a drug dealer.

The Sankt Kaiser, sitting in her private chambers, gave a distinctly unladylike snort as she tossed the file aside. "Well, that sure was a waste of time and ink. Should I just tell them to delete your file entirely?"
The Knight of the Crimson Wing, sprawled out across a nearby sofa (for a room only ever accessed by at most two people, there sure was an awful lot of furniture laying around), waved a hand dismissively as the other flipped through a sheaf of reports from across the empire. "And deprive the OMEGA file boxes of half their contents? Surely you jest."
The God-Empress of the Belkan Empire leaned back, rubbing her temples. "Then shouldn't we at least put Vivio down on the alias list? That fancy title is so... unwieldy to speak."
Vivio turned to briefly look at her with her mismatched green-and-crimson eyes. "Too much trouble. Then I'd have to think up a new name every few decades."
"And why exactly should you bother with that, grandma?"
Vivio - formerly known as Her Divine Majesty the Sankt Kaiser Olivie Segbrecht - merely laughed in response.

If she's by herself, Canon!Nanoha gets wiped all over the map. No "if's", "and's", or "but's". She's not sufficiently 'Super Robot'-ish to pull it off.
SRW analogy: she's a Weissritter, or an Aussenseiter (re: LOL Rapid-Fire, Wide-Area Beam Spam), but with more emphasis on defensive barriers, rather than sheer speed & agility. She's not a Grungust, an SRX, or a Cybuster (okay, maybe partial-Cybuster).
If she has backup from Fate (re: <s>Zankantou</s> Zamber Form), Hayate (re: Granzon, no argument), the Wolkenritter, and Riot Force Six, it's a lot more even; but it's still the opposition's home ground. That is a massive advantage for any competent military organization.
And a Chrono Harlaown-led STAB, tempered by almost/over a decade of constant, near-unending brush wars/guerilla-style warfare spanning dozens of realities/dimensions (in which military R&D is positively working overtime), in my mind, is gonna be damned competent, at the very least.
However! If nothing else, the STAB will be the ones visiting Nanoha's reality/dimension/world (after escaping their own from Beowulf!Fate and the Einst equivalents). In which case, yeah, they'll be the ones getting their asses handed to them, but only at the endgame.
Again, the above scenario was inspired by / ripped straight from Super Robot Taisen: Original Generations - The Inspector (2nd half of the game).
SRW analogy: she's a Weissritter, or an Aussenseiter (re: LOL Rapid-Fire, Wide-Area Beam Spam), but with more emphasis on defensive barriers, rather than sheer speed & agility. She's not a Grungust, an SRX, or a Cybuster (okay, maybe partial-Cybuster).
