WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW!
Episode 1: 空への翼 Wing to the Sky
10 years has pass since Nanoha A’s and Nanoha, Fate, etc. are all grown up except for the 4 guardians. There are more characters now. In episode 01, it shows a bit of Subaru past.
When she was younger, she was happen to get trapped in the Coastal Airport and the airport was on fire. A statue nearly fell on her and Nanoha was the one who stop it and saved her. Nanoha blasted a hole in the roof to escape from the burning area. A very big hole. Off they go.. Flying in the sky..
And present..
Subaru Nakajima and Teana Lanster are currently taking the Rank ‘B’ exam. Subaru a Belka-type user. Her weapons are roller blades and a gauntlet. It is called Armed Devices if I’m not mistaken. As for Teana, she is a Mid-childa type user. Her weapon is a handgun. Both Teana and Subaru weapons are cartridge system and both are Armed Devices.
For every exam, there will be an examiner. And for this exam, the examiner so happen to be Reinforce Zwei. Don’t you think she is cute? Hayate and Fate are watching this exam on a helicopter. And let the exam begin!
Subaru and Teana splits up. Subaru to deal with the spheres in the building and Teana from the outside. Subaru first move, revolver shoot. Packed with power and works only in close range. Teana’s gun apparently has a hook in it and can hook onto almost anywhere. She is a sharpshooter.
After clearing one level, they advance to the upper level. They use the gun as a decoy while preparing to destroy the spheres. Teana’s first magic spell, Crossfire shoot, it produces 3 orbs and she has to control the direction in which they will be fired. Subaru uses revolver shoot. Thinking they cleared all of it, they let their guard down. There is still one more! Subaru, BEHIND YOU! MOVE! Teana saves Subaru by pushing her to safety and sprained her ankle while dodging the attacks and shooting at the sphere. A stray shot hit the observer camera. Nanoha decided to check the situation after the stray shot hit the observer camera.
Teana and Subaru quarrels because Teana wants Subaru to finish the exam alone but Subaru refuse. Subaru comes up with a plan. And off to the last part of the exam. The mid-range sniper sphere. Teana uses Fake Silhouette and acts as the decoy while Subaru destroys the sniper sphere. Subaru uses Wing Road to travel to where the sphere is located. Does the Wing Road looks like Fuzetsu in Shana? It does actually.
Subaru breaks the barrier and uses Divine Buster. O_O Let’s do a compare on the size and power of Nanoha’s buster and Subaru’s buster.. I’ll say Subaru’s buster is 1/100000 of Nanoha’s buster.. Maybe I’m short of a few zeros. Lol. Subaru carries Teana to the finishing line and rushes, couldn’t stop in time. With all the S+ rank mage around the area (Nanoha, Fate, Hayate), Teana & Subaru are saved! And Rein starts to pout and scolding them. Haha.. She is so cute… And finally, Nanoha arrives! Subaru starts to get emo at the end of episode 1. Lol.
