History Fanfic / FutureTense

** Bardiche has all the upgrades up to [[Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce Force]], as well as new mode which gives Fate either [[DualWielding two scythes]], [[DoubleWeapon a stick with one scythe coming from both ends in opposite directions]], or a [[MagneticWeapon rail gun.]]

* CloningBlues: Downplayed example. Nanoha's clone doesn't consider herself worthless like Vivio and Fate did, as she remembers that she also considered them people. She is, however, uncertain if she should consider herself a different person, like Fate does, or if she is just continuing her life, like Zest. As such, she takes the pseudonym of Seikou, Nanoha's grandmother, as a means of also avoiding unwanted attention, but she still considers herself "Nanoha". [[spoiler: This foreshadows the methods used to clone her.]]

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership / AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: Hayate is the most powerful mage in the TSAB, and also its supreme leader with a power ranking exclusively for her. [[TheDragon Fate, being her right hand woman]], leads the Enforcers, TSAB's elite soldiers. On the rebels side, there's Nanoha, who ascended into leadership simply by being the only person who can fight them on equal terms.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority / AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Hayate is the most powerful mage in the TSAB, and also its supreme leader with a power ranking exclusively for her. [[TheDragon Fate, being her right hand woman]], leads the Enforcers, TSAB's elite soldiers. On the rebels side, there's Nanoha, who ascended into leadership simply by being the only person who can fight them on equal terms.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Hayate doesn't do anything but send her minions to kill Seikou until the final chapters. When the two finally meet, she shows Seikou just why [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority it was needed to create a new rank just for her.]]

* AntiVillain: The former heroes. They have very good reasons for acting that way.

* FanNickname: Clonoha

* TimeyWimeyball: [[spoiler:Discussed in verbatim.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The fic draws characters and references from almost all sources of the franchise, including the [[VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable PSP games.]] However, it is only necessary to watch at least until [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS StrikerS]], but preferably until ''[[AudioPlay/StrikersSoundStageX Sound Stage X]]'' to have a good understanding of the story. The rest will make you understand a lot of references, [[VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable but it would]] be [[Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaViVid very good to at]] least [[Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce know the other stories' premises]]. While there are some original characters, there are maybe five or six who are plot relevant.

* StunGuns: Averted with most of the TSAB personnel, as they will shoot to kill.

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Sette and Subaru die smiling during the final battle.]]

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedEvil: Inverted, Rio, a member of the rebel faction ends up fighting Nove, who is a member of Teana's team. Anyone who has read Vivid would know that Rio is one of Nove's apprentices.

* APupilOfMineBeforeHeTurnedEvil: Inverted, Rio, a member of the rebel faction ends up fighting Nove, who is a member of Teana's team. Anyone who has read Vivid would know that Rio is one of Nove's apprentices.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Hayate
** Fate qualifies too, since she is now [[RankInflation rank SSS]].

* CharacterNameAlias: Both Nanoha and Fate use at different points the [[FanNickname fan nicknames]] of the [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable Materials]]: Seikou and Rai. Seikou was the name of Nanoha's grandmother. Rai is the name of Fate's subordinate and the last of her adopted children.

* ImportantHaircut: The Nanoha-clone cutting off her long hair, stating that she cannot be the Nanoha she was cloned from. Uno, helps her style her hair to look like [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable Material-S.]]

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The fic draws characters and references from almost all sources of the franchise, including the [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable PSP games.]] However, it is only necessary to watch at least until [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikerS StrikerS]], but preferably until ''[[AudioPlay/StrikersSoundStageX Sound Stage X]]'' to have a good understanding of the story.

** Bardiche is incredibly damaged following Fate's battle with Seikou, so she has to carry around a spare device called [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable Vulnificus]]. [[spoiler: Or not, since the one who was in charge of repairing Bardiche was the BigBad herself, who later used Vulnificus to control Fate's unconcious body through electrical impulses. So maybe Bardiche could be repaired.]]
** Raising heart is [[spoiler: consumed by Jail's Clone new creation, [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable Luciferion]]]]

* ArmyOfTheDead: [[spoiler: The Mariage compose a part of the rebel's army, courtesy of an awakened [[AudioPlay/StrikerSSoundStageX Ixpellia]] who has now control of her soldiers and is willing to use them to protect her friends and loved ones.]]
