"Commander Takamachi" a young recruit called out through the rubble of what was once the TSAB Ground Forces Headquarters. "you called for me?"

"Yes, come to the briefing room"

The two of them entered the small underground bunker, where several of the top members of the Riot Force Resistance Command were gathered.

Hayate rose from her seat around the table "Who is this young man, Nanoha?"

"This is Lt Shiro from the North Eastern division."

"And why did you bring him here? Carim asked next "You know that this is a private meeting of utmost importance. We cant allow any dissemination of information."

"He is my aide." Nanoha stated flatly "That should be reason enough." she took her seat on the table and nodded to Chrono

"I don't know what you are doing Nanoha, but this better be good." he began "Now I called you all here for a meeting to discuss the recent movement in Jail Scaglietti's forces. It seems that he is creating some kind of device here." The screen shifts over to a map of what looked like a research lab. "We don't know for certain what Jail is doing here, but the number of gadgets and terminators he has there seem to be too great to be a simple research post."

"We lost contact with one of our scouts earlier" Yuuno continued "One of them mentioned something that looked like a worm hole generator." he grimaced "its uncertain at this time if that is true but the images he gave us were quite stunning." he opens up another screen that showed a really blurry look of the said worm hole generator before the camera was shattered by an enemy machine who had discovered the scout and most likely killed him along with the destruction of the camera.

"One thing is for certain" Chrono picked back up "this MUST be destroyed. If it does not...then it could be used to wreak havoc on other worlds." he looked at Nanoha "Even as far as Earth."

Nanoha stiffened in her chair before letting out a small audible growl. "I'll lead the forces myself!" she stood in anger "Jail has already destroyed one home...I will not allow him to destroy yet another!"

The other occupants of the room looked at her and silently agreed amongst themselves.

"Alright, Nanoha" Chrono nodded "you will lead the resistance task force 1st Battalion 3rd Special Forces Group. Your objective will be to destroy or capture the device. Bring back any and all information you can on whatever it is Jail is working on."

"You don't have to tell me twice" she got up and motioned to her aide as they both left the conference room.

"Will she be ok?" Hayate asked after the girl in question left the room

"I hope so...for all our sakes" Carim answered

"First squad move in to position!!"

"I need covering fire over here!"

"The AMF field is too strong on that side, regroup across the ridge!"

"This is second platoon, we are cut off from primary forces--I say again we are cut off from primary forces!"

"We need a medic over here! MEDIC!!!"

"Air support inbound for bombing run in 3 mins!!"

"Hes dead! Come on! Keep moving!"

Chaos filled the sky and all communication bands were being overwhelmed by all the traffic that swarmed the battlefield. Nanoha and a small group of mages managed to break through the line and infiltrate the lab. Fortunately for them, the resistance was rather light seeing as how most of the terminators and gadget drones were bus fighting the main forces outside.

"Stay on your guard everyone" Nanoha whispered "they are around here somewhere."

"Commander, you should look at this" Shiro called to her

"What is it?"

"I am not sure yet" he began typing away at the screen "it seems like the worm hole that command told us about was only partially correct" he continued typing "it seems like its a time machine"

"What?!"

"Yeah, looking at the specs and everything else it seems that it is a wormhole that not only distorts space, but also distorts time."

"We have to hurry!" she grit her teeth "All units move out!"

The continued moving forward in a faster pace, trying to make their way to the central cortex to capture or shut down the machine.

"Commander" another member called "Resistance headquarters has gotten the information on the device we just discovered, they said they want us to evac immediately, they plan on leveling this place before Jail can use the device."

"Alright, all units prepare to-"

"Wait!" Shiro interrupted "My scanner just told me that a machine was just sent through the worm hole!"

"What?!"

"Yeah it just went in"

"We have to go after it!"

"Commander Takamachi" the other soldier spoke up "HQ said--"

"I know!" she shouted "That is a time machine! If we don't go and try to get the unit back then it might kill ALL of us!"

"She's right" Shiro stated "The machine is just down the hall past that door right there. If we can get to it and stop the transfer, the unit sent back will be forced to return here."

"Let's go!" Nanoha ordered

The group ran through the hallway and burst into the room only to be greeted by their enemy...Jail Scaglietti.

"Greetings...Takamachi, Nanoha" he smiled

"Jail Scaglietti..." she glared at him

"You are too late my dear" he laughed as four terminators burst into the room and started firing upon the small group. "My latest terminator has been sent, and with your death...the Resistance will FALL!"

"Shiro!" Nanoha called out as the group ducked for cover "You have to go!"

"What?!"

"Here!" she threw him an old picture "Find her and protect her!"

"I cant leave you guys here!"

"Go! That's an order!" she shouted once more. "All units covering fire!"

Shiro grit his teeth and dove into the worm hole.

*humph* "No matter" Jail said as he order another terminator to head towards the wormhole

"Excellion Buster!" Nanoha called out as she destroyed the device "I wont let you interfere anymore!"

"Bold move, Nanoha" Jail smirked "but I wonder how long that A-ranked weakling you sent will last against my newest terminator ahahahahah!!" with that the projection of him vanished.

"Please succeed, Shiro" Nanoha thought "The future of the Resistance rests in your hands..."
