The gadgets and combat cyborgs launched an attack on Ground HQ.

The attack was brilliantly executed, paralyzing HQ within minutes.

It was as if they knew everything about the facility and its defenses.

During the battle with the combat cyborgs, Ginga-san
was kidnapped, and Subaru was badly wounded.

And with its forces deployed, the defenseless Section Six HQ was
destroyed, with the remaining members left gravely wounded.

Erio and Caro were shot down, and Vivio was kidnapped.

It's the worst possible situation. What's going to happen to us?

And what about Subaru?

We're on the scene above the TSA Ground HQ,
which was attacked by terrorists yesterday.

There's been no announcement from the TSA regarding the details of
the incident, the damage to the facility, or the number of casualties.

There seems to have been a message from the responsible
group immediately after the incident,

But the TSA Public Relations Division has said
that it'll only release it after detailed analysis.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Have you been able to contact him?

The line's been changed.

And the research facility is empty.

We've given him more than enough funding up until now, so why?

Where's Auris?

She's working on a counterplan.

She's discussing matters with the security
division and the other parties involved.

Lieutenant Colonel Yagami, a pleasure to see you.

Major Auris, may I speak to you for a moment later on?

There's something I want to ask you.

I have a conference now. I'll contact you when I'm free.

Yes ma'am.

Wings, Once Again

It's a mess.

Vice-captain Sighum, how were things at the hospital?

All the wounded members have made it through the worst.

Is that so?

I'm glad.

Where's Captain Takamachi?

Inside.

How is she?

The same as always.

She's performing her work well.

Once she'd confirmed that Vivio was kidnapped and that the wounded
members were taken care of, she hasn't even taken a break.

Really?

I'll take care of this.

You get to the hospital too.

But.

Go see her.

Yes ma'am.

Nanoha-san, it's Tiana.

What is it?

Vice-captain Signum has taken over for me.

I'm going to the hospital for a while.

Okay.

Captain Fate should be heading there as well.

All right.

May I tell the others what you told me earlier?

Sure.

If you think it'll cheer them up, tell them.

I'll leave the choice to you.

Understood. I'll be back later.

Take care.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I was in charge while you were gone, and I still couldn't protect them.

It's not your fault, Shari.

Don't cry.

About Vivio, how am I going to apologize to Nanoha-san and everyone?

Don't force yourself.

You were hurt really badly.

I'm fine.

Compared to Zafira, my wounds were light.

Zafira shielded me from the worst of it.

Me too.

Rein protected me.

If 1 hadn't been in a unison with Rein, I would be dead now.

I heard from Mary-san.

Rein-chan will wake up tonight.

But Zafira will take awhile to fully recover.

And Vice-kun.

Even if he's through the worst, for a long time he'll...

Tia.

I brought you some snacks.

None of you have really eaten, right?

Thank you very much.

Thanks, Tia.

You can move your arm now.

The nerve cables got fried, so I can't move it well yet.

They say it'll be back to normal in a few days.

I see.

How much have you told the kids?

About Gin-nee's and my birth, and that stuff.

Sorry to keep it from you.

I'm the one who told her not to tell you, that she should
keep the truth about her body a secret for a while.

Not at all.

Erio-kun.

Subaru-san, do you want some hot soup?

They're selling it at the cafeteria. I'll get some.

We'll be back.

Tia, I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

For running ahead instead of listening to Nanoha-san and me?

Or that you got yourself badly hurt and made everyone worry?

A bunch of stuff.

You better apologize to Mach Caliber later too.

She's in pretty bad shape.

Hey, Ginga-san's still alive, right?

I think she can come back from that level of damage.

They were talking about recovering the
Type Zeros. I don't think they will...

Kill her, right?

Then you've got a chance to save her.

Nanoha-san was saying that, she thinks that after this, we'll be changing
our mission from looking for the Relics to chasing after Scaglietti.

What happened to Ginga-san bothers me too.

But if Section Six is going to act, then we can save her as a team.

Erio and Caro, the Captains and Long Arch are upset, too, that they
lost what was important to them and that they couldn't protect it.

So this time we won't fail them.

We'll protect them and take back what was stolen.

We'll save her.

Everyone.

So what did you want to ask me?

About Lt. General Regius Gaiz's work.

A large portion of that information is classified.

There's very little I can tell you as an individual.

Can I just ask?

Well, where I should begin?

Start with the "Combat Cyborg Incident" that you were in charge of.

Including Ginga and Subaru if you can, and their mom.

The basic idea behind the combat cyborgs was
to produce a humanoid combat machine.

This research has been around for a long time.

And by a long time, I mean since the old era.

A mechanical weapon created in the form of a human.

The idea's been developed on many planets and in many forms.

But there aren't many examples of it actually working.

Then the project underwent a dramatic evolution.

It was only 25 years ago.

The combination of machinery and biotechnology is nothing special.

Artificial organs and bones have been around for a long time.

But...

The function of those is to compensate for lost ability,
a long way from strengthening that ability.

There are also problems with rejection and maintenance during long use.

But the combat cyborgs were different, you see.

Those bastards got around that problem by screwing
around with the genetic code of their subjects.

During birth, they would become the base for the combat cyborgs.

They are children, but modified, able to accept mechanical body parts.

He created technology to allow that to happen.

That would be Jail Scaglietti.

Eleven years ago, back before I knew that
the man named Scaglietti was involved,

My wife was investigating the incident as a Ground Forces mage.

She managed to shut down an illegal research facility and capture
some of the test units that had gone out of control.

Subaru and Ginga were experimental combat cyborgs that
my wife saved while she was following the incident.

We couldn't have kids.

She said that their faces and the color of their
hair and eyes were like hers somehow.

Anyway, she said that she was going to raise
them as our daughters, as humans.

There were some issues with maintenance, cooperation
with research, and the technology involved,

But they were both raised as normal girls.

They were both fairly old when she died.

They said that she died during a secret mission.

The truth about the way she died is still a secret.

I think she saw something she shouldn't have and
went somewhere she shouldn't have been.

I'm glad she died the way she wanted, investigating a crime.

But I'd promised her that I'd raise Ginga and Subaru well.

Well, I kept looking into it. I figured one day I'd
have a chance to accuse those responsible.

Yagami figured that the combat cyborgs would get
involved with the matter she was dealing with,

And she asked me to help with it.

That's one smart little girl!

Well, that's about all there is to say about my wife and kids.

All that's left is the joint investigation.

M
a'
am?

Yes'sir.

Combat cyborgs, artificial mages,

Both of them are technologies that Lt. General
Regius tried to develop for the TSA to use.

That was a long time ago.

A power that could be mass-produced in a stable environment.

If you could avoid having it shut down for ethical violations and decrease
the cost via mass production, it's actually a very feasible plan.

Was Lt. General Regius continuing that project in secret somewhere?

Scaglietti was the ideal person to entrust that job to.

If he wasn't an illegal researcher, there's no doubt he'd go down
in history as one of the greatest geniuses of all time.

I suspect that he arranged for Scaglietti to be offered
a plea bargain and then waited for the right time.

It's possible to set up a situation where Scaglietti would
mass-produce artificial mages and combat cyborgs,

And Ground Forces HQ would discover this and make it public.

If that were the case, upon being discovered, it would also be simple
enough to incorporate whatever was left into experimental usage.

Somewhere in there, it's also possible for an investigator who
got too close to discovering the truth to have an accident.

And additionally gaining several excellent artificial mage samples.

I'll ask you to refrain from telling me any more of your foolish delusions.

I'm merely interested in your opinion.

You've been in the TSA for ten years, right?

That's right.

The Lt. General has been in the TSA for forty years.

And ten years ago, when you were causing your knights
to commit crimes out of fear for your life,

And when that source of the power that has raised
you up to a lieutenant colonel at your age,

The Lost Logia, The Book of Darkness, that
fused with you was taking many lives,

The Lt. General was working to keep the peace.

I won't deny the crimes I have committed,
nor those of The Book of Darkness.

But if there's a hidden truth here, I will bring it to light.

That's my job now.

If you wish to investigate us, then either bring
an investigative permit or a warrant.

Then we can talk.

I will, definitely.

There was a message from the Council earlier.

An emergency summoning will be held concerning your conduct.

Einherjar's operation is to be suspended as well.

It's an emergency! Continue the operation!

Have the hearing put off!

I'm not going to be his puppet!

I'm the one who was controlling them!

If he's going to go against us, then I'll destroy him!

I'll attend to it immediately.

Also, there's something I'd like you to confirm immediately.

What?

This is an image of the unknown that was heading towards HQ yesterday.

An aerial mage stopped him, but this man...

Lieutenant General.

Lieutenant General!

Lieutenant General!

Sir!

Sir!

Sir.

I'm okay how.

Sorry.

I made you worry.

I'm sorry, sir. It's my fault for not being useful.

You did well.

That red knight was a good one, including her use of her unison device.

You're stronger than her!

If you'd been at your best and if I'd been more useful, she'd be no match!

This is my best now.

And you did your best as well.

Hey, Agito?

Can I have another glass of that medicine you made for me?

Knight Zest, it's Uno.

You seem unwell.

Don't worry about me.

You don't need me, or the Relics anymore, do you?

That's not true.

There are a few things I have left to do, that's all.

Then I'll die.

I don't think I'll interfere with your plans.

That's very sad.

Even if there's a difference between the artificial
mages and the combat cyborgs,

We should be friends.

I'm different from even you.

I've died once, and now I'm just a dead man living for
a short time before he returns to the land once again.

Miss Lutecia finished her examination and tuning earlier.

She should be able to return to you soon.

I see.

Get well soon.

Sir, I brought your medicine.

Sei.

How's Cinque-nee?

Her basic frame has been badly damaged, it seems.

That girl, the second Zero, her IS Vibration Shatter is extremely effective
against the electrical components in our bodies and frames.

Of course, I'm sure it's pretty strong against
normal objects or people as well.

A clean hit from that would be the end of any of us.

Nove-chan's right arm is going to need a lot of surgery too.

I see.

I'm fine, but Cinque-nee got hit with a bunch of them.

Our original was born in a different way than us.

There's no doubt that she's made from the Doctor's
technology, but we don't even know who made her.

I don't really care about that, and it doesn't really matter.

That girl with the headband who did this
to Cinque-nee, I'm going to destroy her!

Don't destroy her! We need to recover her.

And the orange-haired illusionist too.

If I hadn't been so busy dealing with her...

We know, we know.

Let's get her next time.

Quattro, the Doctor is calling.

Yes. Sei-chan, keep an eye on Cinque-chan, okay?

On it!

Miss Lu!

I'm Number 11, Wendi!

This is Number 8, Otto, and Number 12, Deed!

So this is your mom, huh?

So it seems.

Seems?

I don't remember her.

Once we find the appropriate Relic core, she will be revived, right?

That's what the Doctor says.

If we find Number XI, she'll wake up.

And that if she awakens and becomes my mom, then I'll have a heart.

Hayate.

Verossa!

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I bet even you are a little down, huh?

Well, I guess so.

It was a major failure, having Ginga and Vivio kidnapped.

Several of my members were hurt.

But we'll take back what was stolen.

And this time I'll protect them.

So even if she's down, she's still up for the job.

Pretty nice.

As the master of The Book of the Night Sky,
and as the head of Section Six, it's natural.

But are you sure about this?

Since you and Chrono-kun asked for it, I managed to get permission.

We need an HQ so that the staff will have somewhere to live.

And considering what's coming, a mobile HQ is better.

Asura, we'll need you to do your best for us for
just a little while longer before you go to sleep.

Nanoha?

Fate-chan.

What are you doing out here?

Thinking about Vivio?

Yeah, I couldn't keep my promise.

I said I'd be her mother, that I'd protect her.

But I couldn't be by her side.

I couldn't protect her.

I'm sure she's crying now.

Nanoha.

When I think about her crying alone, and that maybe she's sad
or hurt, my body shakes and I feel like I'm about to go crazy.

I want to go save her right now!

But I...

It's okay.

Vivio is definitely okay.

Let's save her together.

Okay, there we go.

Don't be scared.

Vitals are fine.

Magic power stabilized.

Transplant preparations complete.

Good timing.

The princess knows what's about to happen to her.

Mama! Mama!

Mama! Mama!
You can cry all you want, but nobody's going to come save you!

You can cry all you want, but nobody's going to come save you!

Now then, let's begin.

We shall now give the Mark of the King to the Saint.

Vivio, you shall be my masterpiece!

Mama!
