I really hate retelling seasons, not a lot can be changed too often. =/
Still, here's the next part.

Lindy sighed as she thought about the last week. Ever since they had gotten to Earth, they had just let Nanoha and Yuuno deal with the Jewel Seeds and Fate. Interestingly enough, whenever they caught a glimpse of Nanoha or Fate together, the two didn't even bother fighting each other for the Jewel Seeds like she thought they would.
"I guess that's one good thing about this." Lindy said to herself, sighing softly.
"I still don't know about letting them have free reign on this matter." Chrono shook his head, but he trusted his mother's judgment. "Anyway, Amy, have you found anything out?"
The short haired girl turned to him and nodded. "Yeah. I've got all sorts of data on Precia Testarossa, not that much on her daughter, but considering what I found, it's not surprising." Sighing, she turned to Lindy. "Admiral, are you going to allow that woman on this ship?"
"Well, I don't really see the harm, if she just wants to see it." Though, Lindy wasn't sure why the woman wanted to look at the ship, but she didn't see any harm in doing so.

Lina nodded as she saw Yuuno and Nanoha both finally complete some basic spells. Though she wasn't surprised, both of them were incredibly intelligent, made teaching them magic a lot easier. Hell, the most complicated things she had taught them had been Val Flare to her daughter and some of the more potent healing spells she knew to Yuuno.
Still, for a couple of kids, it was pretty impressive over-all. "So, how many more of those Jewel Seeds are left?"
Nanoha shook her head and looked at Yuuno. "I think there's, what? Six?"
Yuuno nodded. "Yeah, the Bureau thinks that they're in the ocean. Between us and Fate, they haven't had a chance to really activate." Though he was pretty sure if Lina hadn't been running them ragged, they probably would have gotten all of them by now. Or maybe not, Lina had been drilling them on various tactics on dealing with a superior opponent, both in power and skill.
Lina nodded and sighed softly. "Wish I had more time to teach you two some better magic." She then shrugged. "Still, between what you've learned from me and what your device knows, Nanoha, you should be okay against that Fate girl."
"Actually, I've got some ideas with your magic, mom." Nanoha smiled as Raising Heart shifted to shooting mode. "It's a little weird, but..."
"Divine..." Raising Heart intoned as Nanoha pointed to the sky. "Flame..."
Lina and Yuuno both blinked as Nanoha's magic circle appeared under her. "Nanoha, what..."
"Buster!"
Lina and Yuuno both flinched slightly from the gout of flame that erupted from the tip of Raising Heart. Even thought it wasn't pointed at them, they could still feel the heat emanating from the staff.
"Wow, I never taught her that." Lina muttered, covering her eyes.
"Nanoha, what was that?!" Yuuno gasped after the spell abated. It was pretty hard to breath there for a bit, almost like the oxygen around them was being sucked away.
"Well, Raising Heart told me that mom's Val Flare and her Divine Buster combined could be a really powerful attack, so we worked on calculations all week and came up with this."
As Nanoha and Yuuno both got excited over the thought of that, Lina frowned slightly. 'That was no Val Flare in strength, that was closer to a Rune Flare, or even a Vice Flare.' The thought was slightly worrisome, since those were two of the strongest fire spells around, only the Blast Bomb was worse, and no human could cast that without magic amplification.
Still, the two were more mature than she was at their age, so she wasn't going to worry about it too much. "Nanoha."
"Yeah, mom?" Her daughter blinked at her and she smiled softly.
"Never cast that in enclosed quarters, okay? You might accidentally kill everyone around you."
Nanoha nodded, she really didn't intend to cast this in close quarters anyway.
