Just a few things, first using this translation of the Giga Slave bugs me

"Darkness beyond blackest pitch..."
"Deeper than the Deepest Night..."
"King of Darkness, Shining Like Gold Upon the Sea of Chaos!"
"I call upon thee and swear myself to thee!"
"Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed!"
"By the Power you and I Possess."
because it was based on the Japanese wording for the Imperfect Giga Slave. This is when Lina doesn't know the Lord of Nightamres is the Sea of Chaos. The subtitlers didn't catch that Lina added another word in the Japanese to reflect that (they did catch the change to the Ragna Blade). So the third line could be something like....

"King of Darkness, Shining Like Gold As the Sea of Chaos!"

Read all about it here: <a href='http://kanzaka.wikia.com/wiki/Giga_Slave' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://kanzaka.wikia.com/wiki/Giga_Slave</a>

Otherwise, nice job.

I wonder if Fate is smart enough to ask more about the friend and the grandfather. And Lina's probably smart enough to not say "I ended up killing the grandfather."

As in regards to what could be done with Alicia, I thought about Syphiel reviving her. An excuse for Nanoha to meet Lina's old friends.
The biggest problem there is that frazing is really... kludgy in english. It's quite possible that they noticed it and ignored it becaus it just sounds silly when spoken (or read) in enlglish rather then the original japanesse.

Another detail......even if Lina isn't anymore on the Slayers Universe, i can guess that she was revived and given a second chance on another of the three other universes among the "Four Worlds" that are linked to the Golden Sea of Chaos....that it would mean that its possibly that it existed a Ryuuzoku Lord and a Mazoku Lord on the Nanoha Verse....

Hmm... I hadn't thought about using Resurrection on Alicia. But, I thought there were limits, even in Slayers, to bringing someone back from the dead.

Hmm... Something to think about.

_________________

"You're not going to stop us from fighting?" Fate asked almost an hour after her small break-down had ended. Her face was washed and cleaned up, so no one other than Lina would know what happened.

After swallowing the coffee, Lina nodded at her. "If you want to fight Nanoha, that's fine, but just make sure that those Jewel Seeds are sealed up first, okay?" When Fate nodded, Lina smiled at her and ruffled her hair, getting a blush from the small girl. "I don't care if you fight her magically, the two of you could use some experience, but I was serious about not fighting until those Jewel Seeds were dealt with."

Fate sighed and looked at her lap. "...I need them."

Sighing, Lina wondered what she needed them for, but kept quiet. "Very well, Fate. Just ask yourself if it's worth it. Is whatever you're dealing with now worth the trouble?" Fate nodded, albeit slightly and Lina sighed softly. "Fate, it's okay to believe in someone, we all need to believe in someone, but it's not worth it if it causes nothing but misery in the end." Standing up, Lina took her glass to the sink as Fate sat there and thought about it. "But, if you think it is, I won't stop you." She looked back and smiled softly as Fate nodded at her. "But, like I said before, if you need help, don't be afraid to ask."

Fate nodded and looked as Arf came into the area. "Um..."

"I'd rather you two stick around for breakfast," Lina sighed as Fate squirmed, "but go ahead."

Fate bowed to her as she and Arf left the hotel room and disappeared into the early morning sky.

Sitting there for awhile as she looked at their retreating forms, Lina blinked as she felt arms wrap around her body.

"Must have been hard to let them go without getting all the information." She hear Shiro's voice as he kissed her on the cheek.

Sighing and leaning into his embrace, Lina shook her head slightly. "Not as hard you think it was." She would have preferred knowing what was going on, but Fate didn't seem like a bad girl, so Lina wasn't too concerned with what she was going to do next. "I'd be more concerned if she was more like me when I was younger."

Shiro chuckled at that. "It could be worse. Nanoha could be just like you."

Lina smirked at that. "Don't worry about that, when we get back, I'm going to spend every morning drilling Nanoha and that ferret."

Shiro sweat-dropped as his wife got a gleam in her eyes. "Um, dear, I don't know if they'd survive..."

"Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to teach them black or chaos magic." Lina rolled her eyes. "Just some elemental stuff, white magic, you know, the basics."

Shiro chuckled at that. "Hmm... We have a couple of hours before everyone wakes up." There was a glint in her eyes that told him that she was thinking the same thing as he was.

"Why, Shiro Takamachi, you're not thinking of taking me to bed, tying me down and doing all sorts of naughty things to my poor defenseless body, now are you?"

Smirking at her, he picked her up and carried her into their bedroom. "And how will you stop me?"

"Oh no! The vile man is going to defile a helpless maiden, whatever shall I do?" Shiro chuckled as he closed the door behind them.

(---)

A few days later...

"Your mother's crazy." Yuuno, now in his human form, panted. It hadn't taken Lina long to figure out that he had been able to shape-shift.

"Don't... Remind... Me..." Nanoha wheezed out between gasps of air.

Lina shook her head as she looked at them. "Come on, it's not that hard. Just climb to the top of these steps while carrying those water buckets on your backs." Really, she had made Amelia do worse, this wasn't anything too bad. "You kids have no stamina." She shook her head again.

"Why... This... Shrine?" Yuuno asked as he and Nanoha finally got to the top of the steps.

"Well, for one, it's not really a shrine, but more like a large open area and two, well..." Lina pointed down behind them and the two kids blanched slightly. "It's also a good three stories straight up, less likely people will bother us while I teach you two magic." She turned and walked to the center of the open area. "So, let's begin." She smiled as they nodded at her.

Later...

Lina looked at Yuuno, who was drawing something in the dirt. "What are you doing?"

"Ack!" He jumped and looked at her. "Um, sorry, I'm just having some trouble doing any of the spells you've taught me." She nodded at that, knowing that he and Nanoha were both having some trouble with it. Anything more difficult to do than a simple barrier was pretty difficult, then again, considering that she couldn't use any of their spells very easily, it made a lot of sense to her. "But, I was thinking, and, that recovery spell you taught me is a lot like my own healing spells and I was just thinking about how the energies worked and I think I've got something."

"Oh?" This was interesting, to say the least.

Yuuno nodded. "Yeah! All magic is pretty similar, even if the styles are completely different. It's just changing how you gather energy and what matrixes you put it through that can determine if you can use a technique or not. I mean, any attack spell Nanoha knows can be done by someone else of a completely different style, it just needs to be modified to fit the user's preference and style of magic, so..."

Lina watched, interested as a green circle appeared under his feet. "I can't use the magic the same way you do, but if I do it like this..." A green wave of healing energies washed over the three of them and Lina blinked a few times before looking at Nanoha, who was standing straighter than before. "Um... I don't think that was recovery."

"No, it was, just a bit different." Lina chuckled softly. "Keep practicing it though, you'll get better at it." Smiling, she ruffled his hair and he blushed softly before she turned to Nanoha and grinned at her daughter. "Hey, Nanoha, I have an idea here."

"Mom?" She blinked as Lina asked for Raising Heart again. "Sure, but you said that you couldn't use it for much."

"Maybe I can't..." Lina chuckled softly. "But I think I know a few spells that will help you out." As she held it up in the air, Lina grinned a bit. "Let's see how this thing handles a Val Flare."

Seeing the shot of pure fire launch from the tip of Raising Heart, Nanoha grinned as if she had found a buffet that would let her eat all the food she wanted. She blinked as Lina tossed it back to her. "Mom?"

"Figure out how to modify that so you can use it more effectively, Nanoha, and I'll teach you some other spells."

Moving out of the way, Lina went over to Yuuno and showed him a few more spells that she knew. What surprised her was that he took to all her white magic fairly easily. The Black Magic she knew wasn't usable in this world, she didn't know Holy Magic, so that just left elemental and White Magic. Oh well, these kids didn't need those spells anyway.

Maybe after things settled down, she would show them a spell she had come up with in the past fifteen years, but until things with Fate had calmed down, she didn't want Nanoha knowing it and accidentally using it.

And the most ironic...with Lina's current power level, she can easily cast a "Resurrection" powerful enough to revive the in-stasis Alicia......although i REALLY shudder on what she's going to do to Precia......
Err...no, she can't.

No matter her power level, Resurrection is the ultimate White Magic spell.
And Lina suck at White Magic. Really, REALLY suck at it.

No matter the amount of power she tries to sink into it, she would never be able to compensate for her abyssal potential in White Magic. Period.

And the fact that she apparently has a shard of LoN in her doesn't help at all since Chaos Magic is less then suited for healing purpose.

I wonder how Lina reacted to Yunno really being a boy in the form of a ferret.

I mean if the characters were older... it's going to be... awkward for sure.

How long till someone realizes that Lina's from another dimension?

Given LoN's there, I'm kinda surprised she's able to do White Magic at all. But then, if LoN thinks it's amusing, why not?

White magic isn't 'Good' magic in Slayers. That's Holy Magic, which is pretty much extinct due to considerable effort on the part of the Mazoku. And technically, the LoN is the source of the light and the dark. The LoN is not Good. The LoN is not Evil. The LoN simply Is.

That's mostly due to the Mazoku killing off the Water Dragon King, as well as the all known civilization close to the WDK being entrapped in a barrier. Holy magic is more of a lost art, as there are three other Dragon Kings to call power from.

Filia has Holy Magic derived from the Fire Dragon King.

And not exactly holy magic, but in the alternate canon post-Philbrizo manga(penned by Kanzaka himself) Knight of Aqualord, Lina gainned the ability to weild the powers of Airlord Valwin, the Air Dragon King.

It's extinct because the Mazoku destroyed the lore behind Holy Magic, not the source of power. Even with three deities capable of powering it out there, nobody (outside the dragons, who aren't sharing) has the slightest idea as to how to cast Holy Magic.

With the way people are talking, you all seem to think that Lina's going to end up going back to her home world. :unsure!:

________________

Miyuki pouted as she looked at the boy laying on the floor near Nanoha, both kids looked as if death had swam over them. "Mom! No fair! Yuuno's not very fun in the bath like this!" She sweat-dropped at her mother's look. "I meant him as a ferret, mom! He's cute and splashes around, it's fun."

"Uh huh..." Lina said with a flat look. "Yuuno, you were a gentleman, weren't you?"

"Uh huh." The boy nodded tiredly. "Always looked away."

"Good boy!" Lina grinned at hearing that. "Because if you weren't, I'd have to work you even harder." She laughed as both Nanoha and Yuuno groaned loudly. "Oh, come on, that Mono Volt barely had any power behind it."

"Still shocking that you'd use it." Nanoha mumbled, her hair was all frizzy from that spell.

Lina laughed at her daughter. "Nice play on words, but anyway, you should get used to it."

Nanoha mumbled something about wanting to eat and Miyuki giggled at her. "Not funny, sis."

"I can't help it, your Nano-fro is all frizzy."

"Stop watching those American shows, Miyuki." Lina shook her head. "They'll rot your brains." She was actually grateful that her family was taking the news that she and Nanoha had magic so well, though, in retrospect, she probably should have guessed the only comment would be that they wanted to know sooner.

"So, mom..." Miyuki let out a slow grin. "When can we get magic swords?"

"As soon as the Sword of Light shows up, which I doubt will happen any time soon." Though, that might have been interesting. Lina did remember something about there being more than just the Sword of Light, but those had been rumors, nothing concrete. "Then again, even if it shows up, you're not getting it." She didn't want to risk if the rumors that the Sword of Light drained its user of their intelligence being real after all.

"Aww..." Miyuki pouted at hearing that.

"If you have time to complain, you and Kyouya can spar in the dojo." Lina chuckled as she went about making breakfast for everyone.

"I think I'll go practice anyway." Miyuki chuckled as she slipped out. "Oh, mom..."

"Yes?" Lina looked at her oldest daughter, blinking. "What is it?"

"That knife of yours... Does it ever get dull?"

Lina grinned and closed her eyes. "Now that... Is a secret." She waggled a finger at Miyuki, who sweat-dropped, before Lina broke down in a fit of laughter. "Oh man, I've wanted to do that for years."

Miyuki sighed and shook her head. Sometimes she wondered about her mother.

After getting the table set up, Lina looked at Nanoha, who had rolled over and fallen asleep next to Yuuno. "...So cute." She smiled and pulled out a camera, before snapping a few photos. "Alright, you two." She shook them until they looked at her blearily. "Breakfast." She bit back a laugh as they woke up in an instant and practically teleported over to the table. Seeing her redheaded daughter and her blond friend practically drooled over the thought of food brought back memories. Oh well, Yuuno was a lot more intelligent and Nanoha a lot less destructive and tempered than the two people she was remembering.

Idly, she wondered how her friends had been doing in the past fifteen years.

Hope for your sake that you're not posting this on AS; they'd troll it to death.

Since the TSAB are dimension-hoppers, though, there's no reason she couldn't show up, or the others visit. It'd kinda explain a bit about dimensional space, too, or rather the cracks between dimensions or whatever that Precia falls/fell/will fall- not sure which tense applies here- into.

I've not read much of this idea of Lina and Nanoha... but one thing occurs to me... If LoN is present, what will happen when someone says she is a unison device.

Personally... I kind of like the idea of a Lina/Nanoha cross/fusion. It also presents a interesting stage to determine a question. Which is more corrupt, Lina Inverse, or Midchildan society?

Well, we think she may pay a visit to old stomping grounds, nothing permanent. At least introduce her family to her parents.

"As soon as the Sword of Light shows up, which I doubt will happen any time soon." Though, that might have been interesting. Lina did remember something about there being more than just the Sword of Light, but those had been rumors, nothing concrete. "Then again, even if it shows up, you're not getting it." She didn't want to risk if the rumors that the Sword of Light drained its user of their intelligence being real after all.
Hmmm... which continuity is this based on? It seems to be the novel version, where the Sword of Light was sent back to its world by Philbrizo. The rumors are referring to the other weapons of light, right? And also it can't be the anime post TRY, where it is revealed that it is possible to create at least an imperfect replica of the Sword of Light.

Lina Inverse is an individual with an alignment of "Chaotic Neutral": what she cares most about is gain for Lina Inverse.

Midchilda is an organization; if I had to pick an alignment, it would probably be "Lawful Neutral," with elements that run all over the spectrum (so, the different values of different individuals add up to hypocrisy at the institutional level). What matters most to Midchilda is their own values being paramount. I don't know if I'd call them corrupt, so much as really self-righteous and possibly bigoted against non-magical civilizations.

....The LoN its a poli-dimensional entity, that it englobates multiple Universes on its very being, all with EXTREMELY HIGH levels of Mana on them. the TSAB it hasn't even an theoretical rank designation for an entity of this scale.

Also, this ISN'T a fusion. Lina for some reason, at the end of Slayers NEXT, wasn't returned by the LoN to her world, but somehow ended on the Nanohaverse's Earth, well around 20+ years previous to the start of the first Nanoha series, met a teenager Shiro Takamichi....had some odd adventures, blew shit up, and in the process, fell for him, married him, and had two children, Ky?ya, the eldest, being around 19 on the start of the Nanoha series....and Nanoha herself.....while Miyuki, its the daughter of Shiro's sister, what they raised from little.

.....on another note....it would be hilarious, if apart of Fate....somehow NAGA's daughter ended on the Nanoha-verse, to restart the "familiar rivalry"....and make Nanoha prove that she its Lina's daughter, by getting pissed enough to Divine Buster the annoying gal's hide regularly......

They didn't inherit the infamous laugh (although maybe that's not shown on screen or severely downplayed).

Kyouya would be drooling if Shinobu ever found her mother's old travelling costume.

No Naga as anyone's mother. Heh. Sorry.

____________________

A few days later...

Blinking as the door was knocked on, Lina looked at the calendar, before shrugging. "Wonder who that is." It was almost time to make supper for her family, and she knew that Nanoha and Yuuno were going to be hungry, the poor kids had an appetite that resembled hers when she was younger. Kyouya, Shiro and Miyuki were lucky that they didn't burn through so many calories by using magic, but the younger two could still eat a lot. "Yes?" She blinked as she opened the door and saw a woman, a rather beautiful woman with green hair, in some sort of outfit, standing there and smiling at her. "Hello?"

"Mom!" She blinked as she saw Nanoha pop her head up. "This is Miss Lindy Harlaown and her son, Chrono." She indicated a boy with blue hair and a uniform as well.

Lina raised an eyebrow as she looked at her daughter and Yuuno, who was in ferret form on her shoulder. "So... Did you accidentally destroy an American military ship?" Why else would someone who looked like they were from the military bother showing up?

Nanoha turned to Lindy and smiled at her. "See?"

"I guess you were right." Lindy smiled softly at her. "May we come in?"

Lina smiled and nodded. "Sure, I was just about to start making supper."

After getting tea for her guests, Lina sat down on the couch next to her daughter and Yuuno while looking at Lindy and Chrono. "So, Nanoha, why did you bring some guests over?" Not that she was complaining, she was just curious.

"Well, um... They saw me and Fate-chan and..."

"Ah." Lina nodded at her. "That's fine." She then looked at Yuuno. "Why are you a ferret again?"

He gulped and jumped off of Nanoha's shoulder, turning back to normal. "Sorry, it's just easier to explain a ferret on her shoulder than a boy coming out of her house."

"I guess." Lina turned to Lindy and Chrono. "Let me guess, you had this really complex story you were going to tell me to keep me from being worried about her, right?"

"Well, yes." Lindy chuckled softly, at least this made things somewhat easier. "Mrs. Takamachi, I am Admiral Lindy Harlaown of the Time-Space Administration Bureau and this is my son, Enforcer Chrono Harlaown."

Nodding, Lina turned to Nanoha again. "Like I said before, did you destroy a ship or something?"

Nanoha shook her head. "Nah uh. Fate-chan and I were fighting after the Jewel Seed got sealed up and I was trying that spell you taught me and..." She blushed as she looked at Chrono, who was rubbing his arms and for the first time, Lina noticed that he had bandages on them. "Um, the Val Flare slipped a little. It didn't make anything explode, it just gave really bad burns."

Lina laughed at both that and the way that Chrono blanched from hearing that. "Well, that's pretty good. I guess I should have started you on simpler fireballs and the like." Seeing Nanoha pout, she smirked slightly. "Still, for only a few days worth of training, that's really good."

"You taught her that spell?" Chrono gasped as he looked at the woman, who grinned at him. "But..."

"It's not that hard." Lina rolled her eyes. "Just a very strong fire spell. It's not like I tried teaching her the Blast Bomb." She cleared her throat. "Anyway, Yuuno, why don't you try working that recovery spell I taught you. Nanoha, pay attention, it should help you figure out how to modify the spells I taught you" Seeing them nod, she turned her attention to Lindy. "I take it that you're here because of those Jewel Seeds?"

Lindy nodded, privately she was a little worried that someone from this world was such a powerful mage and hadn't been noticed until now. Mostly because if she was hostile or destructive, it would be pretty bad for everyone on the planet. Still, at least she didn't need to think up a cover story. "Yes. These Lost Logia, the Jewel Seeds, are dangerous things. We're not exactly sure how dangerous, but if enough of them get together, the dimensions themselves could be at risk."

Lina nodded at her. "I figured as much. That's why I told both Fate and Nanoha to only fight after the Jewel Seed was sealed up."

"Wait, you knew about them fighting?" Chrono spoke up and got a frown from Yuuno in the process. "You talked to that girl?"

Lina rolled her eyes. "Yes, I knew about them fighting and yes, I talked to that girl. What kind of mother would I be if I didn't know my own daughter's actions?"

Lindy giggled slightly. "I hope you don't mind, but we could use your daughter's help in getting the rest of the Jewel Seeds. Considering that she has experience with Miss Fate and she's a native here, I do hope you don't mind..."

"Nah, it'll be good for her." Lina smiled softly. "Though, I do have one stipulation."

Lindy blinked a few times at that. "...What?"

"I want to see the ship!"

Lindy nearly fell over at the sparkling look in Lina's eyes. "Wh, what?"

"What?" Lina shrugged at her. "You're an Admiral of some "Bureau". Considering that I've never heard of anything like that on Earth, that means that you're likely from some other world, and I want to see what the ship of an Admiral who uses magic looks like."

"Um... Sure." Lindy blinked as Lina smiled with her eyes closed and clapped her hands together.

"Excellent. We'll go after supper. You two will stay for dinner... Won't you?"

There was something about the way she said it that had Lindy on edge. "Um, sorry, I do have to keep my crew under control." She bowed slightly. "However, we do have Miss Nanoha's phone number, we can call her later and let you come see the ship then."

"Ah, okay then." Lina smiled as she stood up, along with Lindy and Chrono, who was looking at his arms in wonder. "We'll see you two around, don't be a stranger now."

As he watched Lina escort Lindy and Chrono out the door, Yuuno turned to Nanoha and whispered softly. "Your mom can be scary."

Nanoha nodded and whispered back. "Yeah, but she's so cool!"

"Yeah." Yuuno nodded as Lina looked at them and grinned, saying it was time to make supper and asking if they wanted to help. The two practically teleported, without using magic, into the kitchen to help out, causing Lina to giggle at their antics.

Have you considered the implications of Lina working in a cafe? One of anime's greatest eaters is selling pastries for a living.

Had Lina been forced to track down Clover and express her... displeasure at what he had done to her husband?

Heh. Odds are she probably cut back as she got older; she wouldn't want to get fat and unsexy, given how in love Nanoha's canon parents were, and how Lina and her canon father likely are in this.

Also, if she eats the pastries, that's that much money that she doesn't have, and if there's one thing Lina Inverse loves, it's money.

I sort of wonder how Lina would react to being informed of the method of operation of the Arc en Ciel, though; it sounds sort of similar to the Giga Slave.

No Naga as anyone's mother. Heh. Sorry.
And therefore nobody with Amelia for an aunt.

Well, what could one expect of a daughter of a mercenary swordman and sorceress who went into the merchant business?

And now... she's a sorceress married to a bodyguard swordman who went into the bakery goods business.

As for Clover... it's probably the last "Bandit Gang" Lina probably had the pleasure of blowing up.

Edit:
Actually, now that I think about it, partly the reason Lina eats a lot is her constant use of magic. (This is how Zelgadis entrapped Pokota in REVOLUTION, theorizing that Pokota had also the same diet. So the guy laid out a spread of food. Lina didn't eat because she had her own plan for tracking down Pokota.) She'd probably eats less if she uses less magic constantly.

Edit2: Oh... didn't notice Lina acknowledging the fact in the latest part.

Although, its possible that, if she works at it, she can get the extra weight from eaten pastries to settle where she wants, and relieve one of her long-standing sore points - being much less developed than Luna.
