dramadramaduck | Aftermath

[It was a nice night, as Hayate stayed up that night reading. The party had been amazing and she was all smiles. As the night ticked over however, a soft purple glow alerted her to the motion at her bedside.]

Turning around, she gaped at the book that had been chained up glowing, pulsing with what seemed to be veins. A foreign language spoke from the book, but it clearly resounded in Hayate's head as Japanese: I'm breaking the seal. As it did so, the chains snapped and the book flared to life, flipping pages as it proclaimed two words: Start Up.

A pink glow issued forth from the book as a glowing sphere emerged from Hayate's chest. It floated up into the book where it was swallowed up.

Then, something else happened. Forms resolved from magic circles as a group of people appeared; one blonde, one pink haired. One small and red haired, and a muscular blue haired man with ears.]

Signum: We are the Wolkenritter, your servants. We are here to fulfill your every desire master.

[There was more but there was an audible thump from Hayate's bed. The red head looked up from her kneeling position and said,] Hey.

Signum: Be quiet, Vita.

Vita: But Signum... she passed out.

[Hours later, the Camera actually opens to Hayate in a hospital bed, as she's typing on the computer that one of her Wolkenritter had provided her.]

Hi everyone, sorry for this but uh... I passed out last night after the party. But don't worry, my relatives came to visit me! And guess what: they're staying with me now!

I'll get pictures up of them later, but they're all really nice, and they're from Germany too. I'll introduce everyone later. And don't worry, they were simply concerned I fainted so they brought me to the hospital.

Everyone, thank you for the birthday party though. And don't worry, I'm fine, really!

[She never realized her legs were finally beginning to re-paralyze.]

Are you sure you're alright Hayate-chan? I mean, you're in the hospital and stuff and passing out isn't normal.

[She blinks for a moment, before frowning.]

I didn't know that you had family in Germany.

I'm fine, I'm fine! I just had a bit of a surprise, and my family over-reacted.

[Hayate rubbed her head, grinning. While Nanoha would find it completely unbelievable, she decided to go for a half-truth.]

Well, I didn't find out until last night actually. They showed up at my door and I completely passed out from surprise!
