Just as she finished snapping at the Fate replica, Material-D dragged Yuuno's unconscious body up from the chair and started repeatedly slapping his face again with the Paper Fan in an attempt to wake him up. "WAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUPWAKEUP!!!"
"Material-D... you need to calm down. This is not the time to panic," stated Material-S from her spot.
"First, call me 'Your Majesty'! Second, this is the perfect time to panic!!" screeched the Hayate replica with her green eyes clearly showing her agitation. "If we don't do something soon, we're going to get blown up to smithereens!! And he's the only person who knows how to operate the ship properly! Unless there's some sort of emergency panic button-"
"Ooh! Ooh!! Can I press the panic button?" asked Material-L eagerly.
"Quiet you!!" She immediately resumed trying to slap the sole male occupant awake but the only effect she has had so far was to cause his cheeks to turn red and swell up. Plus there was some bleeding from the nose thanks to a small rupture.
"Wow... her panic level's over nine thousand! Yuu-nii's nose is bleeding from all that massive damage!!"
"Yuu-nii...?" Material-S found it unusual to see Material-L warm up to someone this quickly upon all the strangers that they have encountered on their vast journey. She decided to ponder on this later as there were more pressing concerns. "Material-D, see if you can get control over the vessel and move us out of orbit. I will resume attempts to wake up Yuuno."
"Dammit, call me 'Your Majesty'!" But she didn't object to the Nanoha replica's suggestion and shoved the librarian's body in her comrade's direction before she took the seat and started trying to figure things out after placing her Paper Fan to the side. "Argh... how do I work this thing?! That peon just placed his hands down and..."
The moment her palms rested on the console, the computer began to react. "New user detected. Registering palm prints......"
"How many more cartridges do you have left?" asked the male Divider Wielder as he steadied the much larger version of his device which was still cooling down from using up that last cartridge.
"Down to the last one. Although..." She checked her skirt pockets and pulled out a bright yellow cartridge, a white cartridge and a red gem.
"Well?"
"I do have an Aura Cartridge and a Flametongue on me as well. If you don't want to use them up prematurely, you better make the last three shots count," said the woman before tossing over the white cartridge to him.
"Roger that."
"Registration complete. Synchronization complete. Welcome, Hayate Yagami."
"That name...!!" Material-D had to fight down the urge to blast this bucket of bolts straight to heaven now just for calling her that. She did take a deep breath before trying to access ship systems. "Give me control over navigation and propulsion systems."
"Unable to comply. Secondary control relays are offline." Another warning siren started ringing. "Warning! Incoming attack spell."
'Wait... what did that peasant do again?! He just cast his defensive spell through the system?!' She wasn't sure if she was doing this right but she focused herself and conjured a large defensive Belkan triangle to cover the part of the ship that was being attacked. "Panzer Schild!!"
While Material-D took care of defense, both Material-L and Material-S were wondering how to handle the unconscious Yuuno. "I admit... I do not know how to properly handle this type of situation," said the Nanoha replica.
"Hm... try kissing him on the lips! It should wake him up like in Sleeping Beauty!" exclaimed the Fate replica as the ship rocked once from the shield handling the first shot.
"...... but he's not under a magical spell. He's been rendered unconscious by the sudden unjust beating he received earlier," replied Material-S.
"It was his fault for not staying still when I told him!" shouted Material-D in defense as her shield absorbed another hit.
"Details, details! The basic story's the same. An evil witch knocks out the fair-"
"HEY!!" 'Note to self: pound that damned blue haired brat!'
"-prince and he needs a kiss from a beautiful princess to wake him up!" said Material-L with that happy childish smile on her face.
"Oh... kay..." After adjusting the unconscious librarian's body to face towards her, Material-S bent down and pressed her lips against his while carefully avoiding the blood.
"Don't forget to slip him some tongue!" shouted the Fate replica.
Material-D gave a small disdainful snort while maintaining the shield which absorbed the third shot without any major hassle. "Hmph! If I weren't stuck manning this station, I would show you how it's done!"
The moment Material-S released the unconscious Yuuno, she waited for him to wake up. However, he hardly seemed to be responding to the earlier stimulus. "I guess my kiss wasn't enough?" For some reason, she felt somewhat disappointed.
"Then lemme try!" Material-L lunged towards the librarian but was blocked off by the Nanoha replica. "What are you doing?!"
"I don't know if I did it correctly. Let me try kissing him again."
"I wanna try kissing Yuu-nii!!"
"Still holding together? How resilient..." He had to give them credit for being able to withstand the barrage from his modified Divide Zero spell, especially since it's being fired from his larger Divider. 'And I already used up the magical power in that last cartridge...'
"They really are something out of the ordinary!" squealed his partner, much to his irritation. "We've got to bring them back to Fortis! I'm sure he'll want to examine these new specimens as soon as possible!"
"You know the rules. Those who lay eyes on the scriptures of the Silver Cross must be eliminated." He held out his free hand. "Pass me that Aura Cartridge and that Flametongue."
"Aw, phooey. I wanted to find out what made those three tick," grumbled the woman before tossing those two items to the Divider Wielder. After changing his device back to normal standard size, he slipped in the Aura cartridge into the ammo chamber before snapping it shut. Then he held the red gem against the handle of the device until it melded into it, changing the blade to a bright red colour.
"Flametongue junctioning complete." He got into position and pointed his Divider up at the sky at the approximate point of where he had fired last. "Divide Zero Mark II: Blasting Zone."
And with that, an extended pillar of energy was released from the device and shot through the outer atmosphere...
"Okay, break it up you two!" growled the Hayate replica who was still synchronized to the ship systems in case of another attack. As the two bickered over kissing the unconscious Yuuno, Material-D merely wondered how she had managed to put up with this for a decade.
"Seikou-chan's not being fair! She already got one kiss!" complained Material-L while keeping her eye on the prize.
"I swear if you don't shut up about kisses, I'm gonna give you a fist to the kisser!" Before she could threaten the Fate replica some more, the computer's beeping got her attention again. "What the...?"
The viewscreen popped open to reveal a large pillar of light gathering together not too far away from the rear of the vessel. What startled Material-D was that the light seemed to be originating from the surface of the planet itself. Even Material-S was wondering what it could mean. "That's..."
"A pwetty beam saber!!" shouted the Fate replica in excitement.
"...... oh, shit," was the only eloquent response Material-D could come up with for this latest development.
