Author's notes:

The prologue is just a summary like thing and just clue you in on what is leading up to the story so some of it is not after the Strikers. The real story will start in chapter one. Also, this is my first Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha FanFic so if I mess up or anything please be understanding. I could use any advice/suggestions/comments so please review and tell me what you think.

Thanks for reading and enjoy (hopefully).

P.S. If you think there should be any pairing(s) in this FanFic then please tell me as soon as possible before I write the first chapter.

A single figure stands in the heavens on one of the cloud platforms, looking down and watching.

Within a building that was engulfed in flames a single girl with short blue hair was wondering around in the room calling. Many firefighters tried and tried but the flames were too strong and could not get inside.

"Father… Sister…"

BOOM!

And on her side a wall explodes and threw her to the floor. Her small body skidded across the floor but finally stopped in front of a large, tall statue of an angel.

"AH! It hurts! It's hot! I don't want this! I want to go home!" The little girl cried out to no one in particular but at the same time to anyone, everyone.

Then, as fate would have it the angel's statue's base cracked and lent forward, ready to crush the small girl under its weight. Finally, it snapped and went down to end the small girl's life.

"Someone save me!"

The small girl saw this and cowered in fear. Seconds before it could crush the girl a bright pink light wrapped itself around it and prevented the accident.

"Thank goodness I made it in time! I've come to save you." The small girl's savior, another girl in white with two pigtails said.

The figure from the heavens smiles at what happened but another figure comes out and sees that.

The newly arrived figure frowns. "Are you observing the humans again? What good is it? They are such weak creatures!"

The figure that was watching the girls answered. "Yes, I was watching them. It allows me to understand them and, by no means, are they as weak as you assume. They can do great things if given the chance."

At that last comment the newly arrived figure was angered. "What?! Don't tell me! You want to let them stop him?! You want to let simple humans with silly little magic sticks try to stop HIM?! You're crazy!"

"Why not? And it's not like I have already decided yet. I will continue to watch them and keep in mind that it is also their world as much as it is ours."

The angered figured huffed. "Well even if you want to let them do our jobs as observers of time and try to stop HIM, who was once an angel, an observer of time, like us but has fallen, it won't work. They are too weak and HE could crush them just like that!" And the figure snapped to make a point.

The figure who was watching the two girls raises her eyebrows in an amused fashion. "Oh? Is that so?" And then smirked, "Even if HE is strong I don't think he could beat them is they had the powers of a god."

The other figure's jaws dropped. "You plan to give them THAT?! You know that it would be breaking the rules to directly interfere with the mortal world!"

"Directly interfere? Did I say I would? I am simply just following orders to find someone suitable to be the new owner of IT. Is that so wrong?"

"No it wouldn't but they would have to pass the tests and trials of IT to gain ITS powers, without your help."

"Of course, that is why I am watching the humans to find worthy candidates, before it's too late. You too should know that when HE is finished with earth he would come here right?"

"I… I know. Do as you wish, you're one of the three guardian angels, I'm just one of the observers."

"Thank you for understanding, Rei."

"I-It's nothing! S-so which one are you looking at? The small blue hair one? I don't think she has what it takes. The one in white is just too nice and the…"

The guardian angel cut the angel Rei off with a gentle smile. "Rei, you can just go on and on about this can't you? But I can tell you now that if you think the one in white is too nice… well…" The guardian chuckled. "You'll be surprised to know that she has a famous nickname."

"So? Is she called the saint of nice-nice or something?" Rei asked.

The guardian angel was amused. "Hmmm…. I think it was something along the line of… of white…hmm…"

Rei mentally laughed. White? White? You're joking right?! What can it be? White grace? White magical girl? White angel? Even if she's called angel she's not as strong as one!

"Ah, yes I remember! It's white devil!"

"White devil?! That girl in white with the two pigtails?! No way!"

"It's true. I've been watching her and some others and to tell you the truth I think the name suits her. She's now just about 15 or so and she's in the military as an instructor or something. At the age of about 9 she, having never before seen magic, sealed a jewel seed with a newly attained device. And if you remember that a jewel seed is a lost logia made by the people of Al-Hazard, the people who we, the angels, gave knowledge of magic and technology to. Then about six months later she and her friend, who also sealed many jewel seeds at the same age as her, battled and won against The Tomb of the Night Sky, another artifact made by the people of Al-Hazard from the knowledge we gave them."

"That girl did that?! At nine?! Impossible!"

"Well, it seems like you won't believe me no matter what I say so why don't you come and watch them with me? I think that the girl in white and the one in black are good candidates." The guardian angel motioned for Rei to come.

"Which one in black? The white one I can understand but which black one?" Rei got closer and looked down.

"That one, the blonde one, she's the friend of the 'White Devil' that I said fought for the jewel seeds with the 'White Devil on even terms and later helped her with the Tomb of the Night Sky."

"What?!" Rei sighed. "Sure, I'm not even going to question you anymore and just watch."

The two angels watched as the 'White Devil' use a single blast to get out of the building.

Time passed, about four years later, and the Guardian angel was pleased with what she saw when the candidates she chosen defeated their enemies in order to protect what was dear to them. Rei, the observer angel, eventually accepted that they were barely acceptable, but nonetheless acceptable.

However, after their fight and victory they sustained injuries that were not so favorable. Nanoha Takamachi, while using her blaster system, put too much strain on her body and was told by many that if she used it again she might never be able to fly or even walk again. Fate Testarossa Harlaown, being the outcome of 'Project F', was slowly and painfully losing her powers, her health is degenerating and she knew that if she continued using her powers so much she might die.

Even though the two of them are not the only candidates for what the angels had in mind, they certainly stood out. When the guardian angel saw that they were in danger of losing their powers it made her come up with a plan to help them.

Now a new chapter in the candidates' lives will be written. Their story will unfold and the chains destiny will move into place.

Next time on Trials of Time:

Many things happened after the Scaglietti Incident.

Good and bad.

The mages tried to return to their normal lives.

That did not work.

They tried to hide the fact that they were not the same as before.

They tried to act normally.

Many were fooled by their supreme acting skills but some were not.

Stressed out by their acting, emotions rise up and let lose.

Will they overcome their weakness and be able to pass the angels' trials?

Or will they fail and lose their powers and lives?
