The helicopter glided through the sky almost effortlessly. Nanoha looked over to Yuuno who had numerous screens surrounding him. As they got closer to Area 46 the helicopter would encounter bumps as if it were going over a speed hump. Nanoha looked at the time and saw they had been travelling for almost an hour. 'How far away is this place?' She thought to herself and as if on cue a rather annoying beeping sound went off and the helicopter stopped moving forward.
"Alright, this is as far as I can take you." Vice called out over the sound of the helicopter. "The magical waves were detected from the planet to the right of us."
The back part of the helicopter opened up giving Nanoha and Yuuno a clear view of where they needed to go. Off to the right was a blue-ish purple planet with a pattern on it similar to tree bark.
"Thanks Vice-kun." Nanoha and Yuuno said simultaneously as they neared the edge and jumped off.
Nanoha and Yuuno equipped their barrier jackets as they descended. Giving Vice a thumbs up, the helicopter turned around and made its way back while the pair headed in the opposite direction towards the planet. Yuuno had a map up on a screen to his left showing where the last magical wave was detected. There was thick fog surrounding them making it hard to see more than a few meters ahead and it gave the planet an eerie feel to it and to add to it, there were trees that blocked out any sunlight.
Yuuno sent the data that he gathered to Nanoha. "All the magical waves detected came from the east." He informed the brunette.
"Say Yuuno-kun, can you come with me?"
Yuuno saw the scared look flicker in Nanoha eyes. There was something about the place that sent chills down his spine. After Yuuno giving her a nod, Nanoha held raising heart out in front of her as they trekked through the fog. As they walked further and further the fog seemed to get worst until they were blindly walking guided by the faint light of the map. Nanoha held onto Yuuno's hand tightly afraid to get separated. They were led to open field. To their surprise the fog let up considerably allowing them the view the area around them clearly for the first time since arriving. Yuuno mentally took note of everything around him to record later when a small light caught his eye. Before he could process what it was a small blade came at him. He dodged it instinctively but then realised Nanoha was standing directly behind him.
"Protection." A female robot like voice said.
A pink barrier came up around Nanoha protecting her from the blade which shattered upon impact. The brunette turned around to face Yuuno, unaware of what just happened. Seeing Yuuno's shocked expression and the shield around her she raised a brow in confusion. Yuuno just sighed at his friend's oblivious state. The blonde stayed on high alert while Nanoha continued to stare at their surroundings.
"Look over there," Nanoha said pointing to something hanging out of a nearby tree. She walked over to it picking up the small pointy object. "Ne, Yuuno-kun, what's this?"
Yuuno's eyes widened at the sight of the thing Nanoha was holding. The object was shaped like the head of an arrow. It was long and slender coming to a point at one end. There was a red string attached to the bottom which appeared to be torn. Yuuno took it in his own hands, looking at it closer and taking in all the little details, on the side was the word 'Revenge'.
It was very much like the blade he saw before. He was about to hand it back to Nanoha when it started to glow. The light it was emitting was blinding affecting their vision. The air pressure around them grew making it hard to stand. The blinding light eventually died down and the blade had disappeared.
The sound of steel cutting through the air broke the silence. Yuuno and Nanoha had barely any time to react when blades came towards them. Nanoha put up her shield blocking the daggers from hurting them but as they came in contact with the shield they exploded causing the brunette to stumble backwards. Nanoha spotted a dark figure jump around in the tree tops and instantly took off after them.
