Sonic: Knight of the Night Sky
Chapter 1
Innocent Starter, it was a chance meeting

-Earth: Uminari City: Night Time-
-Insert: "Chiisana Negai" Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's OST-

It was the first day of December in this Japanese city. Snow fell and the temperatures were low but the spirit of the holidays lightened up the city. One peace-loving adventurous hedgehog named Sonic, found himself here amongst this city. He only just recently succeeded against his enemy Doctor Eggman a few days ago, but little did he know what was to happen next. He seemed to be lost in his thoughts when he accidentally bumped into a young girl in a wheelchair and caused her to drop her groceries.

Young Hayate Yagami, a cute, kind-hearted, cheerful orphan and also the mistress of the Book of Darkness, an age old device containing 666 pages, used for the storage of knowledge and spells. While Hayate knew of the Book's power, she also knew that to fill the pages, innocent people would have to be hurt for their cores to be absorbed into the book, and while although enough wouldn't be absorbed to kill the person, Hayate thought that any harm to others was unacceptable. Though despite being cheerful, she used it to hide the pain the Book was causing her. On this night, as usual, Hayate was gathering groceries to cook supper for the Wolkenritter, when someone bumped into her, which caused her to fall off her chair and drop said groceries.

"Ow..." Hayate groaned.

"Ah! Gomen (sorry in Japanese)!" the voice of the one who jostled her apologized, when she turned around, blue eyes met green as she saw Sonic. After a brief moment the hedgehog gathered up the girl's groceries, apologizing at double-speed as he went.

"No, it's okay.. I wasn't paying attention... ano... could you help me up?"

"Uh.. sure" Sonic agreed and lifted the girl up to her wheelchair.

After a brief awkward moment of silence Hayate giggled "Guess we both didn't pay attention to where we were going."

"Yeah.." Sonic rubbed the back of his head

"I'm Yagami, Hayate.. what's your name?"

"Sonic, Sonikku ze hejihoggu" the hedgehog greeted with a thumbs up.

Hayate let out a soft giggle "Very cute... do you live around here?"

"Not really... I like to travel around a lot" Sonic said, then let out a sneeze

"You don't sound too good, its going to get colder out here, if you like you can stay at my house until you're over that" Hayate offered

"You don't have to do that, I'll be fine. It's just a minor cold" Sonic tried to argue his way out.

"It's no trouble to me, really. Come on." Hayate wheeled herself away. Sonic, seeing no reason not to, followed her to her house

-Yagami Residence-

Hayate and Sonic soon arrive at her home, door was unlocked and the lights were on. They went in.

"Tadaima (I'm home)" Hayate announced

"Welcome back!" Shamal said from the kitchen, with a pan of boiling water on the stove.

"Where's Signum, Vita and Zafira?" Hayate questioned

"They're running a few errands.." Shamal answered and left the kitchen for a brief moment, she looked surprised when she saw Sonic "Who's this? A new friend?"

"This is Sonic, we sort of ran into each other at the grocery store, and he sounded like he was getting a cold from being out there so I thought he could stay here so he doesn't get sick"

"Ah.. that's very kind of you, Hayate-chan.. I'm Shamal Yagami, a relative"

"Nice to meet you" Sonic said, but then he suddenly smelt something, "Uh.. is something burning?"

-Insert: "Miscasting" Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's-

"Oh! Not again!" Shamal rushed back into the kitchen, leaving the hedgehog and brunette to just look at each other, Shamal's voice cried from the kitchen "The pot's on fire!"

Sonic pushed Hayate into the kitchen to be greeted by the humorous sight of Shamal panicking over a small pot of stew that caught flame some how.

"This happen a lot?" Sonic asked with a few hints of humor in his voice

"I'm usually the one who does the cooking." Hayate answered. After a few minutes the fire was put out, Hayate informed Shamal kindly, "I can cook the dinner tonight, don't worry."

"I'll help" Sonic offered, "How many are we cooking for?"

"With you makes six."

"Okay! Let's do it then." the duo started to cook the stew for the other Wokenritter who were to come back sometime soon.

In the midst of cooking the front door opened again "Tadaima" Vita's voice announced as she, Signum and Zafira returned.

Shamal was the first to welcome them back "Welcome back Vita-chan."

"Where's Hayate-ojou-sama (mistress in this context)" Signum asked

"She's cooking in the kitchen and she has an unusual guest"

"How unusual?" Vita asked

"I'll introduce you." Shamal directed the three to the kitchen where Hayate and Sonic were still cooking

"Ah.. Welcome back. You can just sit down, we'll have dinner out in a little bit" Hayate told them.

"I'm Sonic, nice to meet you, we sort of met by accident at the store" the hedgehog added,

The Wolkenritter took their seats at the table and had a mental conversation amongst themselves.

'What do you think about him?' Signum asked Shamal

'Well he seems nice enough.. I don't think he's a familiar though, he's too independent, and there's something else other than magic in him. Some unusual power' Shamal answered

'You think we can use this power to fill the book?' Vita asked

'Maybe, but I don't think we should try it.. she seems attached to him already, and if we attack him for this power, she won't let us live it down.'

'So, for now, we leave him alone' Zafira concluded.

'Agreed..' Signum said, at that point Hayate and Sonic finished everyone's stew and served it.

"What are your names? I didn't get them..." Sonic asked

"Vita" the small red-head introduced herself

"Signum" followed by the young woman with purplish-pink hair

"Zafira" the blue wolf finished.

The six had a rather peaceful time eating together surprisingly

"Oy.. blue boy, how did you meet Hayate?" Vita asked

"Well.. we sort of ran into each other at the grocery store, I was in there getting some travel snacks and we just met outside.. and I sort of knocked into her.." Sonic answered, bad move on that because 3 sets of eyes were glaring at him, a sight that unnerved the hedgehog, "Um.. "

"Ah.. you can calm down, I didn't get hurt.. I didn't notice him either" Hayate bailed him out of that situation. The Wolkenritter merely settled for suspicious glares.

After their dinner, Sonic helped clean up the table and the dishes, and afterward sat down on a couch to relax, when he did so he caught notice of a rather peculiar book, it looked like an old brown book that gave off a strange vibe to the hedgehog, being curious he took a look at it. After a brief few moments he gave up and walked away.

Little did the curious hedgehog know that this book was known as the Book of Darkness, and as the hedgehog gazed at it, the book' itself was also analyzing him. The "Will" of it gained a particular interest in the blue creature. When Sonic left the book alone after deciding to keep an eye on it, the "Will" made sure to keep an eye on him, hoping he keeps the master (Hayate) safe.

So for the next few days Sonic occupied the guest room at Hayate's house, while the Wolkenritter were out doing their "errands" (aka trying to fill the book's pages behind her back) with the Book slowly and unwillingly draining Hayate of her life, it had it's own wish that Sonic could keep her safe, and as she got worse, Sonic spent more time helping her. Sonic never had any knowledge of Magic and like Hayate, was unaware of the Wolkenritter's workings. Hayate found herself attached to Sonic as he helped her through her pains, on her spare time, she and Sonic designed some armor and weapons for him, while he was unaware of magic, he saw Hayate's designs as a way to get close to her and keep her happy. Sonic was not blind, although Hayate was cheerful around him, he knew she was in pain, and several nights when the others weren't home, he wouldn't leave her alone. Sometimes even sharing the bed if he thought it would help.

-music less-

A few weeks pass and it's the week before Christmas Eve. Hayate's condition got so worse to the point that she collapsed, Sonic was scared for her life when he found her. Knowing that he had to be quick, the hedgehog hoisted the brunette over his back and ran full-speed to the Hospital where she was a regular to because of her condition. To keep suspicions away, Sonic acted under like a very convincing plush animal that Hayate never let go of. The Wolkenritter stayed by the side of their master and her new friend. On December the 23rd, Hayate's friend Suzuka (9-year old, long purple hair) decided to spend some time, and she introduced Hayate to Nanoha and Fate.

-Insert: "Besaid Island" FFX-

Nanoha and Fate were pleased to meet a mutual friend of Suzuka's, and Hayate was pleased to meet them as well. Sonic, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself, still acted like a plush doll, though unknown to him, the two visitors were able to find something odd about him.

'Ne, Fate-chan.. Don't you sense something about that animal Hayate-chan has?' Nanoha asked mentally

'Yeah.. it's almost like it's alive... something strange about it.. we can't dwell on it now, we can surprise her for Christmas eve since she's a friend of Suzuka's'

'Yeah..' Nanoha agreed.

Now on Sonic's side, he was happy for Hayate meeting new friends, he liked to see her happy and not in pain.

Nanoha and Fate's visiting hours were up and they went home with Suzuka in tow.

"Sonic-kun.. what do you think of them? They seem like good friends to have" Hayate asked

"Yeah.. It's nice to see you with friends.. I get the feeling the others don't have too many... but they seem to have gotten used to me being around"

"Are you going to leave? You said you like to adventure."

"Maybe.. I think I'm already in one.. I can't just stop on this one now to go on another." Sonic answered, then thought to himself 'I'm not going anywhere until I'm sure Hayate is safe.. I will protect her happiness as much as I can.'

It was Christmas Eve and the Wolkenritter (with the Book of Darkness) remained by Hayate's side, in their minds, they knew the book was killing her for each day it wasn't completed, and it's only a matter of time before she dies, they didn't want that. Suddenly in the evening, Nanoha and Fate came in for a visit, and were shocked to see the Wolkenritter there.

'Fate-chan.. they are..' Nanoha said

'I know.. and Hayate must be their master, and the master of the Book of Darkness.. The one the book will kill upon its completion, we can't let it kill her.' Fate noted.

The duo and the Wolkenritter had a slight confrontation, but instead of talking out loud, they took to the mental communications.

'She is your master.. isn't she?' Fate asked Signum.

'Hai.' came the reply she got.

'And the blue creature?'

'He has had no involvement or knowledge in our work and neither does our ojou-sama.' Signum answered.

That very night it was settled that they were to fight. When the time came everyone left, leaving Sonic and Hayate in the dark and alone. The hedgehog had his own suspicions, but instead of acting on them, he stayed near the one person who's most important through all this, Hayate.

-"Run" FFX OST-

Nightfall and darkness descended on the hospital, suspense and worry unnerved Hayate, but Sonic remained by her side all the time. All of a sudden they found themselves almost literally pulled by a set of glyphs that transported them magically to the very roof of the hospital, where they saw what appeared to be Nanoha, wearing a white dress outfit and wielding a staff that had a long silver pole with a gold ¾ circle encasing a large red orb, and Fate, wearing a black swimsuit and near leg-high black socks and plated boots, a pink mini-skirt and a black cloak, also wielding an unopened Halberd like staff with it's head black. Signum was nearing unconsciousness with her sword device near her hands, as was Vita, Shamal and Zafira. What was noticeable was a dark-blue pyramid that floated in mid-air.

"Nanoha" was about ready to end Vita's life and force the Book of Darkness to absorb her and the other Wolkenritter's Linker Cores (which is what the book absorbs to fill its pages). An action that would no doubt complete the book and force the brunette to awaken it's power. "Nanoha" had a dark tone to her voice when she talked "Mistress of the Book... When we finish your knights.. we'll go after your blue friend over there (indicating Sonic)."

Hayate was scared and also confused as to why Nanoha and Fate, friends of her friend Suzuka, would do something as horrible as what they were about to do. Sonic, however, had something else in his mind, suspicions, like what was in the pyramid, and why to him, something was off about the duo, he only met them once, but to him they seemed too nice to do something that horrible. A conclusion was reached, "Nanoha and "Fate" were not who they say they were.. and that thought alone got Sonic into action.

The next few moments were a surprise to everyone. Sonic quickly broke free of Hayate's grasp and ran into action. He took several steps then leaped up for that pyramid.

"Sonic-kun!" Hayate called after him..

"O-oy.. what's that blue boy... thinking?" Vita thought out loud.

In mid-air, Sonic curled up into a ball and rolled at blazing high speeds, practically turning himself into a projectile. The blue blur spun and made contact with the pyramid-like structure, using his sharpened quills, he practically became a saw that cut the pyramid in half through the direct middle. Upon his landing he spotted Signum's blade and went for it with his speed.

The Pyramid that was just sawed in half by Sonic opened up to reveal the real Nanoha and Fate, what was different about Fate though is that her cloak was off.

"What was that?" Fate asked

"I don't know.. but it freed us" Nanoha answered.

The copies were shocked at how their Crystal Cage could have been broken so easily, the fake Nanoha asked in surprise "How did you escape?", but their answer never came as Sonic appeared out of nowhere through his speed with an angry look on his face.

"Leave Hayate alone, fakers!" Sonic barked and held Laevatein high and quickly but accurately sliced downwards and then two more times in an X-like motion which sent the surprised mages into the gate with a harsh impact. The impact forced the false mage's guises to drop. Revealing twin blue-haired men wearing white masks and matching cloaks.

One of them growled in anger "You made a big mistake interfering."

The blue hedgehog didn't think too much on the threat and countered with a taunting raspberry gesture.

"Oh.. you little- GAH!" the other one was interrupted by pink chains and yellow binds, the source of those were the real Nanoha and Fate.

"Blue creature.. Sonic, right? Go help your friend, we'll handle these two." Fate requested.

Sonic didn't need to be told twice as he returned Signum's device and went back to Hayate's side and allowed her to hug him for comfort. The Wolkenritter, while beaten and bruised, managed to get up to their knees and watch what the masked twins' next move would be.

"We surrender" the twin on the left said

"Our objective was to send the girl into a panicked state." The other added

With the Wolkenritter starting to recover from their injuries, Hayate's panic was gone thanks to Sonic, only replaced by mere confusion as to what was happening, but at least she wasn't panicking,

Several minutes later, a young teenaged boy in a black jacket outfit arrived and cast a light blue magic circle at the feet of the masked individuals, chains came out from the circle and bound them tight.

"Struggle Bind" the teen, named Chrono explained, "Powerful binds that even counter transformations"

The bind was true to its design when it forced the masked men out of their transformation once more, revealing their true selves to be twin, cat-eared girls in black jacket and skirt outfits.

"Aria and Lotte Liese... Familiars of Admiral Gil Graham.. I assume you're here doing what he ordered?" Chrono asked

"Yes... but he also told us that if we failed and something like this happened, we were to give in" Aria answered.

"We didn't expect interference from that blue creature over there" Lotte explained and pointed to Sonic and Hayate.

Enforcer Chrono turned and noticed the presence of the two, determining that Hayate was the master of the Book of Darkness, he filed that detail away for the moment and focused on the wounded Wolkenritter, just as he was about to heal them, two more mages showed up, one a nine year old boy with sandy brown hair, wearing a brown cloak and tan shirt and shorts outfit with a green and cream colored tunic over it. The other a 16 year old (in apperance) girl with fiery red hair with dog ears and tail to match, her outfit was rather skimpy and revealing mid-drift baring sleeveless shirt with a opening to display her cleavage, very short shorts that didn't even go to her knees, and black cloaks on her shoulders and attached to her waist. The girl, identified as Arf, went to help Fate, while the boy, identified as Yuuno, assisted Chrono in healing the Wolkenritter's injuries. In a matter of minutes everyone was up and recovered.

Now all the while, Hayate was relieved because of the Wolkenritter being fine and all, the only thing getting to her is pure confusion which she voiced by trying to get some attention to her and Sonic, "Ano... what just happened?"

Chrono turned his head to face the brunette and hedgehog duo, then turned to Signum, "I assume she's the master of the book? We didn't know there was another knight.. we thought you were the only ones."

"Hayate is our mistress.. The blue hedgehog is not one of us.. She met him by chance a few weeks ago. He had no knowledge or involvement in our activities" Signum answered.

"Alright then.." the enforcer strolled up to the duo, "I'm Enforcer Chrono Harlaown of the Time-Space Administration Bureau."

"Yagami, Hayate" Hayate introduced herself.. still a bit confused.

'So.. this is the Master of the Book... if we let it complete, it would have killed her.. but who's this one.' Chrono thought to himself as he turned his attention to Sonic, whom Hayate was still using as a plush animal, "You.. blue kid.. what's your name?"

"Sonic the Hedgehog... Eh... pardon me one second" Sonic rushed off and came back with Hayate's wheelchair and put her in it

"Arigatou, Sonic-kun.. What's going to happen?" Hayate asked

"We've determined that there's something in the book of yours that could have killed you when it was complete." Chrono answered..

"Demo, it was already draining her while it was incomplete" Signum argued.

"Let me finish.. had the book been completed tonight, under the circumstances of the Twins' plan, it would have been disastrous.. Thankfully with the intervention of Mr Hedgehog, that didn't happen"

"Oy. oy.. don't call me "mister"! It's Sonic!" Sonic argued back.

A soft chuckle escaped Chrono "As I was saying.. We take everyone and the book to the Asura to get it analyzed and its problem fixed."

"Okay... Sonic, you coming too?" Hayate asked

"Yeah.. I'm not going to leave you, I promise" Sonic announced. With that, Chrono arranged for a mass-Dimensional-Transfer spell to the Asura

-Asura-
-Insert: "Via Purifico" FFX-

After a somewhat safe landing.. Sonic and Hayate almost lost their lunch because they haven't quite gotten used to that yet... the Twins were taken into a questioning area, the Book of Darkness was getting examined by Mary from the engineering department. Sonic, Hayate and the Wolkenritter waited with Chrono, Fate, and Arf in the lobby.

Boredom hit the hedgehog pretty as he sat and waited, Nanoha tried to converse with him in wait "Ano... Sonic, was it?"'

"Yeah.. that's my name."

"Where are you from? I lived on earth all my life and haven't seen anyone like you around."

"There isn't really too much of anyone like me around.. I come from a string of islands isolated from the rest of the world.. though they are close to Japan"

"What about your family? Any brothers or sisters?"

"Nope.. none related.. I only have a friend who's like a younger brother to me."

"I'm sorry..." Nanoha looked down

"Oy.. it's fine.. I learned to be independent" Sonic assured her,

A female voice came out from the intercom "Enforcer Chrono, we found the issue with the Book.. Could you and it's Master come here?"

"On our way, Mary.." Chrono answered, signaling for Hayate, Sonic and the Wolkenritter to follow him.

-Engineering Room-

Chrono and the others met up with his mother, Lindy, who happened to be the admiral of the ship. After explaining a few things like Sonic, they went in to see what Mary from engineering has found out.

Mariel Atenza was waiting for them, the teenage girl had green hair, yellow eyes and wore glasses, a TSAB blue uniform and a white labcoat.

"Mary.. what did you find out?" Lindy asked

"The existing Defense Program in the book is corrupted. It made it so that if the book was completed it would kill its Master.. and even uncompleted it would've killed her if left unchecked. We do have Defense Programs that the Ground forces use, I could have one installed to replace the current one.. but we will need authorization from the current Master"

"How do I give the authorization?" Hayate asked

"I'm going to start the installation for the new Defense Program, you need to get the book to recognize it as an update and replace the older one. We're lucky we managed to catch this before it was complete.. You just need to activate its Administration Control."

"So what happens to the older program? The one that was corrupted?" Sonic asked

"It'll get erased when the new one comes in, but that's what the administration authorization is for. And if the Book was completed, the Defense Program could have killed her."

"Okay.. How do I get the control on?" Hayate asked

"It follows your commands since your its Master. Give it the command for the Administration Control and I'll start the installation." Mary said as she went to a computer.

"Okay.." Hayate said, "Administration Control on!"

"Online" came the distinctly feminine voice from the book.

"An updated Defense Program has been prepared, install it" Hayate requested

"Beginnen" the book acknowledged as the pages turned (Commencing).

Mary started the installation, "So far so good..."

"Alles andere, Meister?" The Book inquiried (Anything else, Master)

"Ano..." Hayate thought of something..

"Does the book have a name?" Sonic asked.

"No.. it's been a long time since one's been recorded... why?" Lindy asked.

"Well I was thinking. Since Hayate's going to be its master and survive its completion, it should have a name since it's hers now."

"Hmm. Okay... Register new name." Hayate ordered

"Geben Sie den neuen Namen" The book requested (Enter New Name)

Hayate gave some thought to the naming of her device "Blessed Wind, Reinforce."

"Namen akzeptiert, bitte rufen sie mich "Reinforce" von jetzt an" The book confirmed (Name accepted, please call me Reinforce from now on)

A few chimes came from Mary's computer, "Ah! The installation was a success. I think it's safe to fill the book now."

"How many pages are left to fill?" Hayate asked.

"About... 50" Mary answered after counting.

"I have an idea for those." Sonic spoke up and stood, "I think I know a way to safely fill it.. hang on.." the hedgehog pulled out a sky-blue emerald that gave off a faint glow.

"Sonic, what are you doing?" Hayate asked

"Just watch." The hedgehog closed his eyes and soon six other emeralds joined this one as they revolved around him.

"Oy.. I can feel his power rising" Vita said, "What's he doing?"

"Just wait for it.." Sonic allowed the emeralds to glow and coat him an a light aura, his fur turned golden yellow, and his eyes red, quills standing up, he became Super Sonic, "There... Lets see if this works" the hedgehog sent some of his power into the book itself, and one by one, the pages were filling all the way until the last of the 666 pages. Seeing his work done, he dismissed his super form and waited with Hayate to see what was going to happen next.

The book glowed a silverish color as it sent itself flying into Hayate, making her absorb it, giving herself that glow, when it was all done, the book came back out and floated there for a few brief moments.

"Hayate! Are you alright?" Sonic asked

"I'm... fine! I'm not hurt or anything.. I feel the book's power.. and its knowledge.." The young girl answered, her legs were still paralyzed though.

Their attention was on the book as it opened up, and a person literally appeared from inside it. A tall, slim and beautiful woman with long, flowing silver hair, and red eyes. She wore black boots with socks of different length, her right going well above her knee and her left just above her ankle. In addition to black fingerless gloves and a black sleeveless shirt and short skirt combination, gold line across her waist and two more in an x pattern across her chest.

"I am the Master Program of the Tome of the Night Sky.. Or as I'm now called, "Reinforce"." The woman introduced herself politely, "Hayate-ojou-sama.. I'm the one who was responsible for your condition.. gomen... With the Tome filled and the new Defense Program in place and working properly, I will work to help undo the damage it's done.. as well as continue to serve you as a Storage Device."

"It's alright, Reinforce... arigatou." Hayate said, already forgiven the woman... her attention, however, was on the woman's large breasts.

Reinforce caught notice of that very quick, but didn't seem to mind "I see where you're looking, Hayate-Ojou-sama (mistress in context).. unlike the General of the Raging Fire, I don't feel too embarrassed by it (cue Signum blushing up a storm)... and if you want.. feel free to touch them."

"Maybe later" Hayate replied, knowing full well there's a time and place for everything, everyone else in the room didn't seem to mind and shrugged it off...except for one person...

"Ano.. touch what?" Sonic asked innocently, getting a very awkward pause moment..

'Is he really that dense?' came the thought that ran through everyone elses minds, with sweat-drops.

'Hayate-ojou-sama... he really is, isn't he?' Reinforce sent mentally

'Sadly, yes... okay! When this is over, we're going to a hot springs spa and taking him with us!' Hayate declared to the other Wolkenritter, after figuring out how to mindspeak from Reinforce.

"Nothing, Sonic-kun... Reinforce, what else can you do?" Hayate asked.

"Apart from now having a physical form, I also bear the knowledge and spells the Tome had when it was completed, as do you. I am also capable of acting as a "Unison Device" for you. We can harmonize for better mana control and I can further lend you assistance." the silver-haired woman answered.

"So, do I get outfits like theirs?"

"Yes, and you can design your own Knight Armor to protect yourself. You also have inherited the skill "Shūshū Kōshi" (Collect and Use) which I also have, because of the linker cores absorbed from the book, we have access to the abilities and powers of those mages."

"I know it'll be difficult to master them all, so I hope you can help me Reinforce." Hayate requested

"I shall do all in my power to assist you." Reinforce complied, then turned her attention on Sonic, "Now as for you."

There was a major size difference between the two, the poor hedgehog kept trying to look up to make eye contact, "Yes?"

To save him the trouble, Reinforce held her tome and knelt down to the hedgehog's eye level, "You've done so much for the Knights and my Ojou-sama.. we are very grateful for all of it. If not for your help, I'm not sure what would have happened. You should be rewarded for your courage."

The hedgehog showed quite a bit of modesty from what he was told, he put his right hand behind his head and looked down "You don't have to do that, I just couldn't stand and watch Hayate suffer any more pain."

"You also saved the Knights from their death. I insist you accept what I have to give you. I can sense so much potential and skill in you. It just needs a way to be brought out. Please accept this." Reinforce opened the tome, a dark-purple glow came from it, and the space between the two was filled by a triangle of sorts, with sigils at each angle and one in the middle, inscriptions were contained in lines that formed the outer triangle, then from each angle also lines that intersected the middle one (The Belkan Triangle). The Triangle gave off a glow as an object rose from the middle of the triangle. A weapon was summoned, it took the form of a medium-length double-edged sword, the hilt and sword itself was very much similar to Signum's Laevatein, except, it's cartridge loader took the form of a revolver and its dark-blue hilt slightly resembled a gun, the hand-guard was attached just after the revolver loader, at this base was twin crescent moon emblems intersecting each other, one light blue, the other a golden color. When the device was completed, Reinforce presented it to Sonic, "Please, accept this weapon as your device."

The hedgehog nodded and gripped the device firmly, suddenly a light-blue Belkan triangle appeared at his feet as well, "What's going on?" and suddenly armor appeared on him, his shoes remained the same, but his gloves became silver and fingerless, and the armor materialized was a light-blue breastplate that just barely went past his shoulders, and was lined by golden trims, to match the breastplate was light-blue shorts with the same trims, and finally a golden cloak extended just to his waist, "Whoa..." the hedgehog was surprised.

Hayate realized something "That's just like the designs we went over a few weeks ago"

"Indeed, when my Tome gave you it's power and knowledge, it also "copied" the designs for the hedgehog's device and armor and kept it for reference." Reinforce explained.

"Meister, bitte geben sie mir einen namen" The newly created device requested of Sonic in a female language (Master, please give me a name)

Sonic thought long and hard in consideration for the name of his new device, finally he came up with one "Freiewind" (Free Wind in German)

"Namen akzeptiert, bitte rufen sie mich "Freiewind" von jetzt an" the newly named Freiewind confirmed.

The hedgehog nodded, "Okay... ano... how can I turn this off? So I'm not carrying it around?"

"Order it to release it's mode" Reinforce answered.

"Okay... Freiewind, Mode Release!" Sonic ordered and in a matter of seconds his armor disappeared and his sword turned into a pendant of a mini version of it that hung on his neck, "Whoa!"

"Also.. because your device was created by myself and the Tome, you have access to the same spells as Hayate-ojou-sama." Reinforce added, "Although I have a request... please continue to be her friend"

"Eh?" Sonic was confused

"I think she means that you have already done so much, and we're not sure what could happen if you suddenly left on another adventure" Hayate explained.

The hedgehog gave a sincere smile "Don't worry.. I'm not going to leave ya.. right now this is the adventure I'm in.. I won't leave you. I promise."

"Sonic.. do you promise and swear your friendship and loyalty to Hayate-ojou-sama as her friend and protector? And agree to help her as her knight?"

"Sure.. why not.. It could be fun." Sonic knelt down, "I promise Hayate, I will always protect you."

The brunette was surprised, but giggled it off "Kawaii (cute).. alright. Then, as the Mistress of the Tome of the Night Sky, I accept your friendship and protection, Sonic, the Knight of the Night Sky."

"Okay." Sonic stood up, "so, what's next?"

"The crimes the knights have already done are minimum, but they can't be overlooked.. But, seeing as the situation was resolved.. I see no problem in organizing a probation term where you are on call to perform services for the Time-Space Administration, and if it interests you, you can join when the probation time is up." Admiral Lindy said, "Until then, you can go about your lives"

Hayate, Reinforce, the Wolkenritter and Sonic left the room and encountered Nanoha and Fate outside, after explaining what happened and about Reinforce and Sonic's device they decided to return back to Japan. As for Nanoha, she made it certain to tell her friends and family about the TSAB, planning to have Admiral Lindy explain the magic parts.

As for Lindy and Chrono, the case of the "Cursed Book of Darkness" or "Tome of the Night Sky" brought back some personal memories of Admiral Clyde Harlaown, Lindy's husband and Chrono's father, died about 10 years ago when securing the book. Chrono talked to the Lieze twins and their master, Admiral Gil Graham; their plan was to let the book complete and then freeze it with the Intelligence Device Durandal's ice. Graham was pleased that it didn't have to come to that, and decided to continue to support Hayate with his funds as he went into a peaceful retirement.

After finally arriving back at the Yagami residence, Reinforce temporarily took up the guest bedroom with Sonic, Vita slept with Hayate and Signum with Shamal.. Zafira rested on the couch. Marking for the first night that the Yagami household can rest peacefully knowing Hayate's condition can only improve. Little did they know that their next adventure wasn't too far away.

-Omake: Hayate and Sonic's ears-

Hayate sat in her wheel-chair, looking at Sonic's ears curiously, "Ano.. Sonic, your ears... can I touch them? I'm curious"

"Uh.. okay.." Sonic agreed and let Hayate play with his ears, he didn't seem to mind, while Hayate found them interesting.

"They flick and bounce.. cool! Not as big as what I usually like to feel up, but they are cool" Hayate commented.

"Uh.. Thanks?"

-Ending Theme: "Spiritual Garden" Tamura Yukari, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's-
(Visual comes in this release)

The scene opens to a picture of Sonic, Hayate, Reinforce and the Wolkenritter laying on a flowery field peacefully
Otona ni nattemo, wasurenai my love...meguriaeta hi wo (Even after I become an adult, I won't forget the day we met by chance, my love..)

The scenery changes to showing a grassy hill with flowers in front of the view and the frame of the scene (border) gets lined up with flowers (cue credits)
Ichizu ni hana kono basho de kimi wo zutto sagashiteita (In this garden where flowers bloom wholeheartedly, I was looking for you)
Yakusoku wo oboeteru? my love... daisuki na egao (Do you remember our promise, my love? I love your smile.)

Sonic is shown pushing Hayate in her wheelchair and walking, and Nanoha is shown walking ahead of them slightly with her arms behind her back (we see them from a side angle) they stop, look up and aside then they fade out.
Himitsu no tobira ga hiraita ano hi (The day that door of secrets opened,)

Now Sonic is shown pushing Hayate in her wheelchair walking again this time with Fate in front of them (again side view except they are walking to the right)
Chiisa na shiori chou wo oikaketeta (I was chasing a small, white butterfly,)

Now showing Sonic and Hayate (in wheelchair) standing still with Fate also holding Hayate's chair, (she's holding the right handle, Sonic's holding the left)

Miichi ni mayoi nakitakatta (And when I was lost on my path and wanted to cry,)

Same set up only Nanoha's holding Hayate's chair in-place of Fate
'Hontou no negai' ya, 'hontou no omoi' wo (were you the one who taught me of)
Kimi ga oshiete kureta no ka na (my "true wishes and feelings"?)

Sonic again walks Hayate in her wheelchair from left to right solo
Yasashii kimochi ni mamorarete (I was protected by your gentle feelings.)
Kitto zutto amaeteta ne (I'm sure you were spoiling me the whole time.)

Showing Sonic standing still holding Hayate's wheelchair again, the brunette points to another direction and Sonic pushes her quickly in that direction.
Taisetsu ni shite kureta my love... (I will always keep you precious to me, my love...)
Minna, wasurenai (I won't forget anyone)

The scene and music ends with Sonic and Hayate stopping in front of a tree looking across to Nanoha and Fate.
