Nanoha reacted quickly as well. Not long after receiving Tomoyo's call, she swiftly arrived at the site where the Seed of the Holy Stone's magical power had erupted. Fortunately, the thing that had fused with the Seed of the Holy Stone this time seemed to be nothing more than an ordinary vine. Other than growing wildly out of control, it showed no unusual behavior.
If this had been Nanoha from before, she probably would have stopped to consider what to do. But her recent combat training had not been for nothing. After learning the target's situation from Tomoyo, Nanoha decisively fired a Divine Thunder Strike from afar, piercing straight through the entire plant. She then immediately locked onto the Seed of the Holy Stone that flew out through the opening.
The entire process flowed without pause, and she looked incomparably dashing.

But at that moment, something unexpected suddenly happened.
"Nanoha, someone is rapidly approaching your position. They're moving very fast!"
Although Tomoyo was busy filming, she had not forgotten to monitor the surroundings. Almost the instant the magical reaction erupted, she caught the signal on the screen.
"They're heading for the Seed of the Holy Stone. Recover it quickly!"
"What?"
Hearing Tomoyo's warning, Nanoha was startled. She immediately accelerated and flew toward the sealed Seed of the Holy Stone before her.
No sooner had Nanoha flown in front of the Seed of the Holy Stone and extended her staff to retrieve it than a figure suddenly burst out from the forest
