In this great big world,
there are thousands, millions of people...
...and there are even more meetings and partings.
This is the story of a small incident and an encounter.
We met in the spring of my third year in school.
It was a small encounter but a precious one.
This is the story of our beginning.
You shouldn't be here!
Go back! To where you belong!
Enchanting sound, transform into light.
Trap the abomination into the seal circle!
Preparing to seal.
Jewel Seed: be sealed!
I must... chase after it.
That was one weird dream.
I'm Takamachi Nanoha, the youngest of a family of five, and I'm a perfectly average third grader.
Good morning!
Nanoha-chan.
Nanoha, over here! Over here!
Suzuka-chan, Alisa-chan, good morning.
Morning.
Good morning, Nanoha-chan.
Even something like this is extremely important.
It helps everyone live their lives in safety.

As you can see, there are all sorts of jobs.
What kind of job do you want to have when you grow up?
It might be a good idea if you started thinking about that right now.
My future...
What I want to do...
I'm not even sure if I have any dreams for my future.
That's what my daily life is like.
It's not safe here, so you should stay out.
Y-Yes, sir.
Hey, this was in my-
Excuse me, what happened?
Well, the barge and boat are wrecked. We're cleaning things up now.
Oh, they are?
This is a bit much for a prank.
We had the police come by and take a look.
Is this the place I saw in my dream last night?
Help me...
Nanoha-chan?
Suzuka-chan, did you hear something just now?
Hear something?
Sorry, excuse me for a bit.
Its wounds aren't deep, but the poor thing seems to be fairly weak.
Doctor, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
This is a ferret, right? Do you think it's someone's pet?
Do you really think it's a ferret? If it is, it's an unusual breed.
Anyway, it looks like it could use some rest for a while,
so do you want me to look after it until tomorrow?
Yes.
Please take good care of him.
And... send...
Can you hear me?
Can you hear my voice?
This voice...
Please listen to me.
Whoever is listening to this... I beg of you.
Please help me.
Please...
Makihara Animal Clinic
There's that sound again!
What? What on earth is that thing?
You came for me.
Um, what's going on? What's happening?
I have a favour to ask of you.
Help me. Just for a little while.
Please, I'll definitely repay the favour.
This isn't the time to be talking about repaying me, right?
At my current magic levels, I can't stop that thing.
But, if it's you...
Magic levels?
What should I do?
Take this.
Hold it in your hands, then close your eyes and clear your mind.

Repeat after me:

Grant your magic upon my hands.
Raising Heart, set up!
Stand by ready, set up.
What incredible magic levels.
Welcome, New User.
Um, nice to meet you.
Your magic level
qualifies you to use me.
May I select the optimum configuration for the Barrier Jacket and the Device?
Um, for now, yes.
All right.
Stand by, Ready
Barrier Jacket setup
It worked.
How much do you know about magic?
Nothing! Nothing at all!
Then I shall teach you everything.
Please do as I say.
R-Right!
Flier Fin.
Um, what's that? Some kind of creature?
No, it is not a living being.
It is an entity from Lost Logia.
Protection!
Your magical powers are impressive.
Incredible. She's even better than I expected.
With your magic levels, you'll be able to stop that thing.
Now, work with Raising Heart to invoke a seal.
To seal, either get closer
and invoke the Sealing Magic...
...or use more powerful magic.
Um...
Imagine you're about to strike.
Don't make it sound so easy!
Hold out your strongest hand.
O-Okay.
Shoot the Bullet!
Shoot!
It got away.
I can't catch up.
If those things go near a lot of people, they-
That ray I used earlier... Can I make it reach farther?
If that is what you desire.
That's right.

I don't believe it. A Seal Cannon?
That girl...
She called up a barrage mode?
Shoot in Buster Mode.
Immediate fire when target is locked.
Nice shot!
She sealed them... with one blast.
These are Jewel Seeds.
Touch them with Raising Heart.
Like this?
Internalize. Numbers: 18, 20, 21.
Are you all right?
I'm okay, I think...
I don't know if you will believe me,
...but I'm not of this world. I come from another planet.
What you used just now was "magic,"
a technology used on my world.
Those creatures you fought for me were dangerous ancient relics from my world,
Lost Logia, "Jewel Seeds."
Jewel Seeds?
They will run rampant at the slightest provocation, and will act violently, just as you saw.
They are highly dangerous energy crystals...
You're kidding.
What's something like that doing in our neighbourhood?
I'm afraid... I'm the one to blame.
[Caring For Your Ferret]
I was working at an archaeological dig in my home town... and found them in an ancient ruin.
I told the Administration Bureau to take them and keep them safe.
But it seems that the dimension ship I arranged to transport them... had an accident en route.
Twenty-one Jewel Seeds have been scattered across this world.
I have only been able to recover the three that you helped me with.
I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet.
My name's Nanoha, Takamachi Nanoha.
And I am Yuuno, Yuuno Scrya.
Yuuno-kun.
Non-administered planet #97. Local designation: Earth.
The items that Mother is searching for, the Jewel Seeds. They're here.
Yes, sir.
[Seishou Grade School]
Raising Heart, can you hear me?
Yes I can hear you.
All that flashy stuff yesterday... that was all you, right?
Yes, mostly.
You must be very powerful.
But unfortunately, I can do little on my own.
In a sense, I'm merely a vehicle.
Without a driver, I cannot fully display my capabilities.
Is there a chance that I'll be able to be your driver?
If that is what you desire... and you are willing to put in the work...
See ya. Today is practice day for me and Suzuka.
We'll be off.
Sure, train hard.
Yuuno-kun. Can you hear me?
Yes, Nanoha.
You see, about those Jewel Seeds yesterday...
This signature-
Bardiche.
Get set.
Barrier Jacket! Setup!
Axe Form.
Nanoha... Nanoha!
Don't go yet. Wait until I get there.
I can't.
People and animals might get caught in the crossfire.
I did just fine last night.
I have Raising Heart with me again today, so I'm sure that I'll be okay.
Raising Heart, I'm going to work hard and build up experience.
So tell me! What do I need to do?
I will do everything in my power.
Stand by, ready.
Raising Heart. Set up!
Jewel Seed: Be sealed.
Sealing.
Scythe Form!
Jewel Seed: Be sealed.
Um... excuse me! Wait.
Um...
Are you also looking for those? For Jewel Seeds?
Don't come any closer.
No, I...
I just want to talk.
I want to ask if you're also a mage and why you're looking for Jewel Seeds.
Fire!
Scythe Slash!
Wait! I don't want to fight you!
Then stay clear of me and the Jewel Seeds.
I'm trying to tell you, it's Yuuno-kun who's after those Jewel Seeds, not-
Arc Saber!
Protection!
Saber Explode!
I'm really sorry.
Internalize Number 16!
The next time we fight, I might not be able to hold back.
Give up on the Jewel Seeds.
Nanoha.
Yuuno-kun.
Nanoha...
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
Thank you, Yuuno-kun.
I'm... okay.
Wide area search, quadrant 4 complete.
Arf, thanks for the good work.
Fate.
Sorry to keep you working so late. How are things on your end?
I found an unactivated one a while ago.
I think I can search this whole area tonight.
Thanks.
I only have the one that I sealed this evening.
I see.
And what was the idea with these two that you encountered?
You don't think they're DAB, do you?
I don't think we've done anything yet that would put them on our trail.
I don't think they are.
For one thing, she couldn't even use magic properly.
I see.
Anyway, if it comes down to it, I'll knock those two on their butts!
Don't worry about a thing, Fate!
Thanks, Arf.
Nanoha, are you sure you're all right?
I'm fine, so let me help with your Jewel Seed collecting.
Raising Heart is giving me all sorts of pointers too.
So please, Yuuno-kun.
Teach me how. Teach me the best way to use magic.
Mama, what's for lunch today?
Hm, what should we have?
I know, I know! Rice omelets!
What, again?
Aw, but they taste so yummy! Right?
I suppose they are. Oh all right.
Yay!
Thanks for waiting!
Mama!
Do they have lots of jam inside?
You bet.
Yay! Mama, I love you!
Studying in Progress!
Don't come in!
Inside the heart of every mage, including both me and you,
there is a magic generating organ called a Linker Core.
Imagine that you're breathing in with your Linker Core,
collecting and condensing the magic in the air.
That is magic application.
Commencing Image Training.
Speed and power are essential in combat, but there are more important things.
Do you know what it is?
The desire to not lose?
Good answer, but what else?
Um...
Wisdom and tactics.
How to fly and shoot, and the theory and practice of aerial combat.
I will teach you these things.
You can't come again today, Nanoha-chan?
No, sorry!
It's no big deal. It's important, right?
Sorry.
If you're going to apologize, it'd be nice if you'd at least explain what's going on.
Alisa-chan...
I'm sorry.
See you. Come on, Suzuka.
Sorry, Nanoha-chan. See you tomorrow.
I think it's around here somewhere...
Yes, the signature is definitely...
...coming from around here.
But we can't pinpoint its exact location.
It's a little reckless,
but I'll fire off a magic stream and force it to activate.
Is that a good idea?
I'll be fine.
After all, I'm tough.
She's doing a forced activation in the middle of town?
Wide area barrier!
Raising Heart!
Please!
Stand by, Ready.
Found it.
They see it too, Fate!
Glaive Form. Get set!
Nanoha, seal it before they can!

You did it, Nanoha. Hurry, grab it!
As if!
You're a-
I won't let you stand in Fate's way!
I knew it... A Familiar!
I didn't get a chance to introduce myself earlier.
I'm Nanoha. Takamachi Nanoha.
Third grader at Seishou Private University's affiliated grade school.
Scythe Form!
I thought I told you to give up on the Jewel Seeds.
You say that, but you also haven't answered my question, have you?
You haven't told me your name either!
Why are you collecting Jewel Seeds?
They're dangerous!
Quit your yapping!
Cannon Mode Stun Setting.
Shoot!
If you have a plan for them, then fighting and competing over them will be inevitable.
But, I don't want to fight someone without knowing why!
I'll tell you my side of the story too.
So tell me!
Why do you need Jewel Seeds?
I'm just trying to-
Fate, you don't have to answer her!
Our job is to bring back the Jewel Seeds, remember?
Nanoha!
I'll be okay!
I'm sorry. Return form, Bardiche.
Yes, sir.
Fate?
Fate, don't! It's too dangerous.
Stop... Stop... Stop...
Stop... Stop...
Stop.
Fate!
Yuuno-kun, will Raising Heart be okay?
Yes. I'm running her auto regeneration functions at full right now.
I'm sorry, Raising Heart...
Sorry Fate. Hang in there a while longer!
I'm fine. Thanks, Arf.
Nanoha?
Oh, Yuuno-kun.
What's the matter? Why are you up so early?
Oh, I was just thinking...
You know, Yuuno-kun.
I'm... I'm worried about that other girl.
That girl who was called "Fate?"
Yeah.
That girl's eyes looked so lonely, somehow.
And when she shot me, she said she was sorry.
I'm sure there has to be some reason.
A reason why she's fighting and why she wants Jewel Seeds.
I want to talk to her.
So to do that, I'll-
A souvenir? Sweets you mean?
I'm not so sure that this stuff will put her in a good mood.
Me neither, but it's the thought that counts.
Dimensional transference... Destination: The Garden of Time.
Dimension Administration L Class Dimensional Cruiser Arthra
What's our status, everyone?
Is the fight going smoothly?
Yes ma'am. We're right on schedule.
There hasn't been any overt activity since that minor dimension quake.
It looks like the two mages who are our prime suspects have gone to ground at the moment.
Arthra Chief Administrator Commissioned Officers' Aide Amy Limietta
Dimension Administration Bureau Admiral Captain of the Arthra Lindy Harlaown
Even if it was a small one on a non-administered planet, we can't turn a blind eye to someone setting off a dimension quake.
Dimension Administration Bureau Commissioned Officer Chrono Harlaown
Yes ma'am. Let's wrap this up quickly.
These are Jewel Seeds all right. No doubt about it.
Yes, Mother.
I'd love to compliment you on a job well done, but...
What did I tell you to do?
Um you...
Did I or did I not tell you to go collect all 21 Jewel Seeds?
They are of vital importance to my research.
And in spite of all the time you've had, you've only managed to collect just three of them?
What's that?
Um, this is for you, Mother.
If you had time to buy this, surely you had time to do as you were told.
I'm sorry!
I'm disappointed, Fate.
You leave me no choice but to punish you.
Yes.
Why?! Why is she doing this?
We brought her exactly what she told us to bring.
Those Jewel Seeds are absolutely vital to make my dream come true.
Yes.
Now make sure that you don't let me down.
Yes, Mother...
And so the changing shape of the moon in the sky is the result...
...of how light from the sun hits it.
This way, we only see the side.
Bardiche, how are you?
Recovery complete.
You sense it, don't you? I can, too.
Yes. It's close by.
Nanoha.
Yuuno-kun.
Raising Heart, you're all better now, right?
Condition green.
Will you work with me again?
All right, my Master.
Get set.
Um... Fate... -chan?
Fate Testarossa.
I just want to talk with you, that's all.
I won't let you have the Jewel Seeds.
Neither will I.
I want to ask you the reason why.
Why are you collecting Jewel Seeds?
Why do you have such a lonely look in your eyes?
If I win... will you tell me all about it?
That's enough!
Officer Chrono Harlaown, Dimension Administration Bureau.
The DAB?
Now then. Would someone mind explaining what's going on here?
Fate! We're retreating.
Fate?
Fate!
Fate! Fate!
Don't!
Don't shoot them!
Officer Chrono, well done.
My apologies, Captain. One group got away.
That's all right.
I want to know exactly what's going on.
Bring those two aboard the Arthra.
Roger.
Yuuno-kun, where are we?
We're aboard a Dimension Administration Bureau dimension ship.
You there. Disengage your Barrier Jacket.
Okay.
You too.
That isn't your original form, I take it?
Oh, now that you mention it...
It's been a long time since I let you see me in this form. Isn't that right, Nanoha?
Yuuno-kun, you've been a regular boy this whole time?!
Huh? What?
Didn't I first appear to you in this form?
For the time being, perhaps we could sort out that other matter first?
Y-Yes, of course.
Go on in.
Y-Yes, sir!
Ah, I see...
So you were the one who uncovered those Lost Logia, the Jewel Seeds, right?
Yes ma'am.
Excuse me, but what is "Lost Logia?"
I suppose it wouldn't help... if I called them remnants of a "lost world," would it?
You know that many worlds exist in our space-time continuum, right?
Among those are worlds that evolved too far, and not in a good way.
When one has science or technology that evolves too far and destroys itself,
there are dangerous relics left behind afterwards.
We use the general term "Lost Logia" for them.
That's right.
These are items that we of the DAB and the Protective Organization must strictly oversee.
And you and your friend here are looking for them.
They are energy crystals of the dimensional interference type.
This dangerous type is known to use the magic they're infused with as a catalyst to trigger a dimension quake.
When you and that other girl fought each other, and caused a tremor and flash of light, that was a dimension quake.
Just a single Jewel Seed has that kind of power.
The impact of a mass of them triggered all at once would be incalculable.
If there were a large scale dimension quake, or even worse, a dimensional fissure, it could easily eradicate a planet or two.
We must prevent that at all costs.
For that reason, we are hereby taking charge of the Jewel Seed retrieval.
Both of you should just forget about all this and go back to your respective worlds.
But we-
Now, I don't expect this to sit well with you, coming out of the blue like this...
So why don't you two talk things over tonight,
and then we'll get a fresh start tomorrow?
Don't even think about it if the DAB's got involved.
There's nothing we can do anymore.
We'll be fine.
No we won't!
They might even find this place at any moment!
That evil old witch.
She's your mother, but she always treats you like garbage.
Don't lift another finger to help that crazy-
Don't insult my mother.
I will! I mean, I'm worried about you, Fate.
Fate, you're my Master,
and you're the most important girl in the whole wide world to me.
You took me in when I'd been abandoned by my pack.
You made me your Familiar.
And you've been so kind to me all these years.
I can't bear to see you cry or even sad!
I'm sorry, Arf.
But... even though that's right,
I still want to make Mother's dream come true.
And that's why Nanoha and I want you to allow us to assist you.
Assist "us," eh?
To say nothing of my own,
I believe that Nanoha's magical ability will prove to be a most effective asset to you.
We ought to prove most useful in retrieving Jewel Seeds as well as in countering those girls.
I see. You've thought this through.
Sure, why not?
M-Moth- I mean, Captain?!
We'll let you help.
It always pays to have an ace up your sleeve.
Isn't that right, Officer Chrono?
Y-Yes, ma'am!
I've caught it! Nanoha!
Restrict Lock
That's right! With the proper use of Bind, you can stop fast moving opponents,
which also allows you to strike with major spells!
Both of them are quite elite.
It's no use. I just can't find them.
Our opponents are pretty skilled, too.
With help from those skills, the two Jewel Seeds that "we" located have been taken as well.
They're formidable.
No luck here either, huh?
Looks that way.
But, we can still collect them.
And so, this is our tenth day after being brought aboard the Arthra.
We've obtained four Jewel Seeds.
And our best guess is that Fate and her friend... have got three.
There's just no sign of the remaining seven, is there?
We've expanded our search region to non-land areas.
Emergency!
Giant magic signature detected on ocean surface in search region!
The Jewel Seed is probably in the sea around here.
I can't get a fix on its exact location,
so I'm going to fire a magic stream into the sea to force-activate it, and then capture it.
But Fate, that's-
Found them. It's the last seven.
Let's go, Bardiche.
Yes, sir!
That girl is reckless beyond belief.
Fate-chan!
Um, I need to go down there right away.
That won't be necessary.
If we leave her to her own devices, she'll get herself killed.
And if she doesn't, we'll hit her when she's used up all her power.
Prepare for capture!
Roger.
But...
Scythe Form!
Fate! Fate!
This may seem cruel to you, but it's our best option.
But she'll...
Nanoha. Go.
I'll open a gate for you, so you go and save her.
But what about you, Yuuno-kun?
Just go.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Takamachi Nanoha is hereby disobeying orders and acting on her own!
Now transporting us inside her barrier!
Let's do this, Raising Heart!
All right!
Wind in the sky. Stars in the heavens.
A shining light upon my arms.
An indomitable spirit in my heart!
Raising Heart, set up!
Stand by, Ready.
Don't get in Fate's way!
You have it all wrong!
We didn't come here to fight you two!
Yuuno-kun?
I don't believe it! What do you two think you're doing?
I'm sorry!
I'll apologize properly for disobeying orders afterwards.
But I can't just stand by and do nothing!
For now, we have to stop the Jewel Seeds.
If we do nothing, they might fuse and this could grow into a situation that we can't cope with.
We have to stop them.
You and I have to provide support.
Fate-chan!
Help me. Let's stop the Jewel Seeds.
Divide energy.
Charging.
Charging completed.
It's an even split right down the middle.
Yuuno-kun and Arf-san are stopping them for us.
So now's our chance!
We'll seal them all on the count of three!
Cannon Mode.
I think I finally figured it out.
I know what I want to tell Fate-chan...
What I want to talk to her about...
Glaive form setup!
Bardiche?
Divine Buster, full power!
We can seal them away in one blast, right?
Of course, Master.
One, two...
Thunder...
Divine...
...Rage!
...Buster!
Incredible! All seven were completely sealed in one blast!
That was the most reckless work I've ever seen!
But, it was amazing though.
I finally figured out what I wanted to say to you, Fate-chan.
I want to talk about all kinds of things with you...
...and tell you all kinds of things.
I want you to be my friend.
A dimensional interference?
High order magic from another dimension is coming towards this ship and the combat area.
Incoming!
What? ETA six seconds?!
Mother!
Fate-chan!
Get out... of my way!
Three?!
They're escaping! Seize them!
It's no use! The electric shock just knocked all of our sensors offline!
Obeying instructions and orders is a rule meant to protect the group as a whole.
By making independent decisions and taking independent actions, you might have put the people around you at risk.
You understand that, I take it?
Yes ma'am.
Normally, you would be punished severely for this.
But in light of the fact that there was a risk of a runaway fusion event,
I've decided to overlook it just this once.
This will not happen a second time.
Understood.
We're sorry.
Well then, now comes the difficult part.
Chrono, do we have any leads on the perpetrator?
Yes ma'am. Amy, put it on the monitor.
Sure thing!
Oh dear!
Indeed. She's a Midchilldan mage just like us.
Precia Testarossa.
And that girl, Fate's-
During the fight, I heard her say "Mother."
Mother and daughter, eh?
Precia was employed as the head of development at Midchillda's energy corporation.
But it looks like she quit after there was an accident.
There are court records from the trial.
How could you have just stood there when you had such a golden opportunity?
I'm... sorry.
Fate, you're so cruel.
Are you that eager to break your poor mother's heart?
I doubt that Ms. Precia or Fate, after expending magic of that magnitude,
will be able to do anything for a while.
You two should get some rest too.
But I-
Go show your family and friends a happy, healthy smile.
Yes ma'am.
Fate! Fate!
Fate!
Just nine of them...
With just these, I can't reach Alhazard.
I don't have much time left.
You're her mother and she's your daughter, right?!
She tries so hard for you! She works herself half to death for you!
How can you do such horrible things to her?!
You're a nuisance. Disappear.
I'm sorry, Fate...
Wait just a little while for me.
Fate. Wake up, Fate!
Yes, Mother.
These nine Jewel Seeds that you got for me...
...are not enough.
Go collect some more. For your mother's sake.
Will you do that for me, Fate?
Yes, Mother!
Nanoha-chan!
I'm glad you're feeling better!
I am. Thanks, Suzuka-chan.
You too, Alisa-chan. Sorry for making you worry about me.
Well, I'm just glad that you're feeling better.
I see, so you have to go again.
It must be tough.
Yeah, but it'll be okay.
What about after school? Can you hang out?
Yeah, no problem!
Want to come over to my house, then? I just got a new game.
Wow, really?
Oh, that reminds me. I found a hurt dog last night and took it in.
A dog?
Yeah. It was really big, and its fur was orange.
It was a breed that I'd never seen before.
And it had a red jewel right here, on its forehead.
I knew it! It's you, Arf-san!
You, huh?
How did you get hurt like that? Is Fate-chan okay?
Uh-oh. Is she okay?
Her injuries might be bothering her.
Why don't we let her rest?
Yuuno, it's dangerous.
It's okay, Yuuno-kun will be fine.
Nanoha... I'll hear what she has to say.
Come on, let's have a snack.
If you're here, that means those people are watching as well.
I'm the Commissioned Officer of the Dimension Administration Bureau, Chrono Harlaown.
If you are honest with us, we won't do anything to harm you.
Tell us about yourself. And your mistress.
I'll tell you. Everything.

Nanoha, did you hear all that?
Yes, I heard everything.
This makes the capture of Precia Testarossa our top priority.
What do you want to do, Takamachi Nanoha?
Well, I...
I want to help Fate-chan.
For one thing, I still haven't got an answer yet when I told her that I wanted to be her friend.
I see.
Arf, are you all right with this?
Nanoha, was it?
You're under no obligation to help me, but I beg of you.
Help Fate.
It'll be okay. You can count on me.
What kept you, Nanoha?
Look, we're about to go to the next zone! We've been waiting for you.
Sorry, sorry!
Take that.
Yes!
Here!
This mission to rescue Fate... What do you have in mind?
I have a few ideas about that.
It'll be okay if it's here, right?
Come out, Fate-chan.
Fate! Let's stop this!
If you keep doing everything that woman tells you to do, you'll-
I know that... But even so,
I'm her daughter!
You can't stop Fate-chan... and I want to stop her.
This is all about Jewel Seeds.
Release Jewel Seeds!
So let's make a bet.
We each bet all of the Jewel Seeds that we own.
After it's over...
Everything will start.
Our story hasn't even begun yet.
So to show you the real me, let's get started.
Our first and last, real fight!
Looks like a battle is going to start, huh?
Is the combat zone secured?
I've set up a double barrier extending into the sky and layered training structures.
They won't be seen, so they can cause as much damage as they want.
But, that's kind of unusual for you to agree to such a big gamble.
Nanoha winning would be the ideal outcome here,
but it doesn't really matter which of them wins.
So when Nanoha's buying us time by fighting Fate,
I guess I should get ready to trace her return destination.
We're counting on you. Don't let her get away.
Roger that!
But... Are you sure we shouldn't tell Nanoha-chan?
About Precia Testarossa's family...
...and the accident?
Nanoha winning would be the best for us.
For now, I don't want to burden Nanoha with any distractions.
Nanoha!
Photon Lancer!
Fire!
Divine Shooter!
Shoot!
Scythe Form!
Shoot!
Thunder Bullet!
Fire!
She's more advanced than you.
You won't beat her easily.
My wisdom and tactics are going full tilt.
I even came here with an ace up my sleeve.
All we have to do is to go in there with the desire to not lose. Right?
All right, Master.
If I'm beaten here, I won't be able to help Mother.
We won't be able to go back to how things used to be.
I know I've made you suffer terribly...
...but even now, you are the most precious thing in the world to me.
You are my treasure.
Mama, will you be at work late again today?
I'm sorry.
You've always been so lonely because of me.
But once I'm done with this development work,
we'll be able to take a long vacation, just the two of us.
I promised her that before she started school...
...we'd spend time together.
Miss Testarossa.
The test of the new reactor will be held in ten days.
Wait a minute! The test was scheduled for next month!
It's been decided.
But it's a new design! There's a chance of a meltdown.
The main office is sending extra manpower.
This matter is settled, Chief Testarossa.
Well, we'll be handling the safety protocols.
If this test doesn't go without a hitch, confidence in the company will take a hit.
Mama...
Mama, will you always be working this much?
There's a test next week, honey.
Once that's done, I'll be able to take a little break.
Honest?
You bet.
Can we go on a picnic?
We can go anywhere you want.
You promise?
I promise.
Yes. I was being selfish and caused trouble for Mother.
I remember everything that day to the day of the accident as clearly as if it were yesterday.
The place where mother worked...
...sparked a flash of light.
The next thing I knew, as I was waking up, I saw Mother looking down at me, crying.
She said that I'd been hurt in the accident and had been asleep for a long time.
Look, this is your room.
Rest for a while, and when you are better, whether it's a picnic or the amusement park,
I'll take you anywhere you want.
But aren't you busy with work?
It's fine. Everything is fine now.
Mama?
It's nothing. It's nothing at all.
Everything is fine, Alicia.
Alicia.
What do you think, Alicia? Is it good?
That's not my name.
Mother, I'm Fate.
You're so adorable, Alicia.
I'm not- It doesn't matter.
I'll win!
I'll win, and I'll go back...
...to Mother!
A Grounding Bind... and it looks like she's-
Fate!
Phalanx...
Smash her to pieces!
Spark...
...End.
Can you move, Master?
I'm good to go, Raising Heart.
Cannon Mode!
A Bind? When did she-?
Divine... Buster!
She has to be at her limit as well...
If I can just endure this, I can-
Starlight Breaker!
I will gather all the unused mana that we've been scattering around...
A focus bombardment...
This is what Raising Heart and I came up with.
With some wisdom and tactics, my final ace!
Let's see if you can take this!
This is me going all out at full power!
Starlight Breaker!
Fate-chan!
I'm so sorry. Are you okay?
Can you move?
That's enough, Fate.
I'm done with you!
High order magic detected.
Magic wavelength is Precia Testarossa!
Dimension skipping bombardment is being directed into the combat area!
Nanoha-chan, Yuuno-kun.
Mother?
Fate-chan!
Spell firing location has been pinpointed!
Spatial coordinates... confirmed!
Teleportation coordinates set.
Boarding squads, move out from transference ports!
Your mission is to take Precia Testarossa into custody.
Intruders detected!
Many intruders now in garden.
It can't end yet...
I have to keep my promise to my daughter...
Move out!
Precia Testarossa, you are under arrest for violations of Time-Space Administration Law,
as we have suspicion of attacks against DAB vessels.
What the-?
Stay away from my Alicia!
Alicia.
I don't know if I'll be able to make it there with just nine Jewel Seeds.
But I don't care; I'm putting an end to it.
To the time I've had to endure since losing my little girl,
and of treating that doll replacement as my daughter.
Are you listening?
I'm talking about you, Fate.
I went through all the trouble of giving you her memories...
...but you are only identical to her on the outside.
You're useless and utterly worthless, my little doll.
At the time of the first accident,
Precia lost her biological daughter Alicia Testarossa.
There was a magic reactor meltdown, which was caused by safety management lapses.
Alicia was caught in the blast.
Ever since, Precia's research has focused on...
...the creation of artificial life more advanced than Familiars.
And technology to resurrect the dead.
Special clone technology designed to imprint memories.
Project Fate.
You're right. You're exactly right.
But it was no replacement for what I had lost.
Imitation life is just an imitation.
Alicia looked sweeter when she smiled.
She could be self-centred sometimes, but she always did as she was told.
Alicia was always kind to me.
Fate, you aren't my daughter.
You're just a failure.
So, I don't need you anymore.
Go wherever you want. Just get out of my sight!
Let me tell you something that might interest you, Fate.
Ever since I made you, every single moment, I've despised you.
Fate-chan!
Fate...
This is bad! Look at this.
I'm getting multiple magic signatures from inside the compound.
Magic signatures are all Class A!
Totals 60... 80... Still climbing!
Precia Testarossa, what in the world are you up to?
We're setting out on a journey!
To the eternal city, Alhazard.
I'll use this power to go there and take it back.
Take it all back!
A dimension quake!
Anti-quake defences!
Nine Jewel Seeds activated! Intensity is increasing!
Wave coefficient magnifying!
We're looking at a dimensional fissure.
Alhazard, the forgotten city... A land where secret, forbidden arts are hidden.
Does she hope to use those secret arts to call the lost soul back to her?
It's not her! It's not! It's just not her!
The memory imprinting worked flawlessly!
She is carrying Alicia's memories, no doubt about it.
But it's not her.
Her dominant hand is the same, her magical ability, and even her personality.
What went wrong? Why isn't she her?
This girl isn't Alicia...
She's just a botched product.
Alicia's body is still perfectly intact.
Her soul has left it, that's all.
A way to retrieve Alicia's soul... that's what I have to find.
I'm about to go down a path that's taboo.
What I need is a tool that I can send out to do my work for me.
Of course, of course that's the answer!
I simply need to raise that girl, that fake, and use her to do what I need.
I'll create an instructor as well.
Good morning Master.
Um, have I always been a newborn kitten?
I have no memories whatsoever about myself.
That doesn't matter.
Familiar Linith. Your job is to care for and educate my daughter.
Raise her to be a first class mage.
Young miss, what's your name?
It's Fate, Fate Testarossa.
So how's the girl- How's Fate doing?
She's certainly your daughter.
With the proper training, she will become a mage of the highest calibre.
There's no time.
Raise her so that I can send her to the outside world as soon as possible.
Precia...
Are you sure you can't arrange to at least spend a little more time with her?
Fate never says much herself, but seeing how much she loves you... it's just so sad.
Don't make me repeat myself! Do as you're-
Precia!
I don't have much time left.
Linith? Is this a-
Yes, this is your device. His name's Bardiche.
It's an axe?
It's an axe, it's a spear, and it's even a flashing blade that will slice through everything.
It's good to meet you, Bardiche.
Precia?
Precia, where are you?
Precia?
Precia!
Precia. Are you all right?
So you saw it.
I know about all the research you've conducted, as well as the technologies you're looking for now.
Precia, no matter how badly we wish for it, the dead don't come back.
It's the same with time that's been lost.
Alicia's accident was a tragedy,
but here and now, you have Fate to-
What do you know about it?
What do you know about me and Alicia?!
I don't know anything.
You were the one who made me forget!
But, there's one thing that even a familiar that was born a lynx knows!
It's still not too late to turn back!
I was always absorbed in my work...
I was never able to show Alicia the love she deserved, not even once.
Once I was done with work, once the day I'd promised her finally arrived,
I had always planned to give Alicia all my time and all my love!
But then-
I don't have any love to lavish on that failure!
I don't, do I?
Your duties, as well as your life as a familiar...
...will end when Fate's training as a mage is complete.
Go complete Fate's training and disappear.
Dimension quake magnitude is steadily increasing!
Abnormal activity in the garden's power core!
Is she trying to overload the reactor to make up for the output she's missing?
You know what that is, right, Yuuno? Watch out for these holes.
Imaginary space. It's a region where you can't cast spells.
Flying spells won't work, either.
If you fall, you'll plunge head over heels forever.
Roger.
We'll split into two teams.
You seal the reactor on the top level.
What about you, Chrono-kun?
I'm going to stop Precia!
I'm going to carve a path to her right now!
I'll head out too.
I'll try to control the progress of the dimension quake in the garden.
I'm worried about those kids so I'm going to go help them for a bit.
I'll be back soon, okay?
Mother never paid...
...any attention to me...
...not even once.
It was Alicia whom she missed, not me.
I'm nothing but...
...a failure to her.
Maybe I should have never been born.
Arf... and this girl...
What was her name again?
I'm sure that she told me...
We fought again and again.
I... did some terrible things to her.
And in spite of that, she spoke to me... She even called me... by my name.
Again.
And again.
Bardiche.
My story. Our story.
They haven't even begun yet?
Get set.
I hadn't thought of that.
You've been at my side this whole time. Haven't you, Bardiche?
You hate the idea of things ending like this, too, don't you?
Yes, sir.
I don't know if we'll be able to pull it off... but let's both give it our best.
Recovery complete.
Our story hasn't even begun.
tsuyosa wo motomete tatakai tsudzukete
Seek for the strength to keep on fighting
So to show you the real me...
hakanai yowasa ni kidzuku koto remember

There were also things that couldn't be said well but

Don't be long for our meeting, the courage shining in my chest

It's a jumbo mode. It's got heavy defences.

Aiming to erase the escape route
But... if we work together...

Don't ever show a tear-stained face of the pain you were giving up to.

With our power, we will overcome reality
Stand by! Ready!

Don't be long for our meeting, the courage shining in my chest
Thunder Smasher!
omoi gakenai hodo ni ookiku tokihanatareta
Could be released unexpectedly
Divine Buster!
unmei ni makenai youni issho kenmei ugokidasou
I'll get going as hard as I can, so I won't lose to fate
One. Two...
keisan chigai no tenkai ga mirai wo kirihiraite yuku
The development of a miscalculation is going to open up the future
Fate-chan...
Fate! Fate.
Arf... I'm sorry that I worried you.
Just a little more.
Precia Testarossa.
It's over. I'm suppressing the dimension quake.
Your reactor will be sealed any moment now.
My officer is bearing down on your location.
Alhazard, the forgotten city... The technology that lies hidden there.
All those things should have been lost for ages.
You're wrong. Alhazard exists to this day.
And the lost path to it is in the gaps between dimensions.
Let's say that the path does exist.
What would you do there?
I'll get her back.
I'll take back my Alicia's past and future.
I'll take back...
...everything that went wrong in this world!
Don't act like you don't know this!
No matter what spell you cast, you can't regain the past!
Mother!
What did you come here for?
Get out of my sight.
You're of no more use to me.
I came here because there's something that I wanted to tell you.
Maybe it's true that I'm just a failure and a fake.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be Alicia or live up to your expectations.
If you tell me to go away, I'll go far, far away.
But ever since you gave me life, to this day... and for the rest of my life, one thing is certain.
I want to make you smile, Mother.
My desire to make you happy is real.
Those are my real feelings. The feelings of Fate Testarossa.
Pathetic.
Captain, it's no use! The garden is crumbling!
Chrono-kun, you and the others have to escape.
It'll collapse any second. There's no time!
Roger that!
Fate Testarossa! Fate!
I'm going. I'm going with Alicia.
Mother...
I told you already, right?
I told you that I hate you!
Mother! Alicia!
Alicia.
Alicia, is there anything that you want for your birthday?
Let me think... I want a baby sister.
If I had a sister, I wouldn't be lonely while you're away, and we could do all sorts of stuff to help you.
Well that's true, but...
I want a sister. Promise me, Mama.
I've always been this way, haven't I?
I never notice things until it's too late.
Alicia... Mother!
Fate!
Fate-chan! Chrono.
We're getting out! Amy, find us a route!
Roger.
The Garden is collapsing.
Officer Chrono has got the mages back on board.
All hands are safe!
Dimension quake has stopped. No fissure detected.
Roger that.
Chrono-kun...
Is something the matter?
Where are Fate-chan and Arf-san?
I'm sorry. The two of them are material witnesses in this case.
They're being kept in isolation. I can't authorize you to see them.
In any case, it won't be like this forever, so just be patient for a while. Okay?
Okay.
I've brought you some dinner.
Let's eat together.
Fate is a key figure in this case.
I doubt she's going to be acquitted.
However, she didn't know the truth.
It might sound harsh, but she was just being used as a tool.
Extenuating circumstances may be taken into account.
At the very least, we'll try to get her a suspended sentence.
Thank you, Chrono-kun.
The thing is, trials like this can drag on forever.
That's right. Six months at the very least.
But they can last two or three years, or even longer.
Still, if you behave yourselves during that time under the care of your legal guardian,
you'll be able to lead fairly normal lives.
Legal guardian? Who?
That would be me.
Captain of the Arthra, Lindy Harlaown. I am now your legal guardian.
I look forward to our time together, Fate-san, Arf.
And, that's how the "Jewel Seed Incident" ended for the time being.
But the one thing that hasn't ended...
The one thing that worries me...
...is that girl with the pretty and kind eyes.
DAB
Yes? Hello?
Oh, Nanoha-chan? Sorry for calling so early.
That's okay.
According to Fate-san's training schedule, she's set to go to our HQ next week.
Ma'am?
So, before then, I thought maybe... for a little while, you could...
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am!
I'll be right there!
Nanoha? What's up?
They said we can see Fate-chan for a little while.
I see.
She said that Fate-chan wants to see me!
Fate-chan!
We'll wait over there.
Sure, thanks.
Thank you.
There was so much that I wanted to talk to you about.
It's weird.
But when I saw your face, I forgot everything I was going to say.
I... You're right.
I can't get the right words out, either.
Still, I was glad...
...that you were so honest with me.
Yeah, I was hoping that we could be friends.
But, I guess you're leaving right after this, huh?
I suppose so. It's going to be a long trip.
We'll see each other again, right?
It's a little sad, but this will finally help me to be my true self.
I asked you to come so that I could give you an answer.
The words you said to me... You said you wanted to be friends.
I wanted to tell you... If I'm able to... If you will have me...
But I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
So I want you to teach me.
What do you do to become friends?
It's easy.
Becoming someone's friend is really simple.
You say their name.
At first, that's all you need.
Not "You" or "Hey there." Not stuff like that.
You look the person right in the eye and you call that person by name.
I'm Takamachi Nanoha!
Call me Nanoha.
Nanoha.
Yep. That's right!
Nanoha.
Thank you, Nanoha.
Nanoha.
Yeah.
You have warm hands, Nanoha.
I think I learned something.
If your friend is crying, you feel sad, too.
Fate-chan!
Thank you, Nanoha.
We're going our separate ways for now, but I know we'll meet again.
When we do, is it okay if I call you by your name?
When I'm missing you, I am sure I'll call your name.
So I want you to call my name, too.
If you're ever in trouble...
I'll be the one to help you.
That girl of yours...
Nanoha is a really sweet kid, isn't she?
Look at that big smile on Fate's face.
It's time. Are you ready to go?
Fate-chan!
It's not much to remember me by, but it's all I have.
Then let me give you mine, too.
Thank you, Nanoha.
Fate-chan...
We'll meet again.
Yeah, I know we will.
Thank you. You take care too, Arf-san.
I will. Thanks for everything, Nanoha, Yuuno.
I should say goodbye, too.
I hope I'll see you soon too, Chrono-kun.
Sure.
Bye bye. Until we meet again.
Chrono-kun.
Arf-san.
Fate-chan.
Nanoha?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I know we'll be seeing each other again soon.
