I doubt will act this rude towards Hayate, i also doubt that Nanoha of all people ends up without any chocolates so this is very suspicious, who on earth Vita can be giving the chocolate?
...suddenly the image of a ferret pops up in my mind xD.
You figure Yuuno had to make an impression on Vita in their one and only fight, because of her inability to leave a physical impression in him.
She's thousands of years old, a Belkan Knight, equipped with a powerful Armed Device, and she'd just taken out of his friends. She's a big deal -- a Horseman of the Apocalypse -- and he's smallfry; a nine-year old brat without any kind of Device at all. Easy pickings. There's nothing that she and Graf Eisen can't destroy.
Despite this, she doesn't get through his defenses. Embarassing and frustrating. And we all know how Vita deals with a frustrating target: Pop a cartridge and hit it harder.
There's no way she didn't do it, either. Because MORE frustrating than the fact that he's completely blocking her every attack, AND that despite having nothing but barriers, he has the nerve to constantly get up in her face to keep her engaged (seriously, watch the colored flight-lines in that episode; he rushes her everytime she rushes him)...
But he's not even paying her his full attention! He's taking her so lightly that he's fighting her WHILE trying to crack her imprisoning barrier! HER, the Iron Hammer Knight!
So yeah, she's going to pop a cartridge, use Rocketform, do whatever it takes to show this punk-ass brat not to make a fool of her.
But he comes out of that fight without even a scratch! Something that not even Fate, with Bardiche, was able to say after her fight with Signum. He certainly fared better than Nanoha did against Vita.
Just imagine if Yuuno DID have his own Device, like a copy of Shamal's rings. He might actually gain an attack like Axel Shooter (or Shamal's wind-attacks from "Battle of Aces"), and who KNOWS how strong his defenses would be then. Not to mention having Shamal's portal-trick, and how the pendulum form would help his own scrying and forced-teleportation powers.
There's no ulterior motive to the shape, okay! It's just because of the occasion. Just. The. Occasion! So don't misunderstand this!Today's Valen-something-or-other, right? Since it's you after all, nobody gave you anything, right? It can't be helped, so just have this.
