SM/Nano. A long time ago, there were great warriors of magic and skill. They werea group that was known as Riot Division Six. This group was only one of many among a military power in the time Space Administration Beaureu. But these warriors were (mostly) human, an thus died after a period of time. Hundreds of years passed, the TSAB collapsed from internal strife. Most of the technology and knowledge from the time was lost. Centuries later Some of the relics from that age were found by a young girl who had dreams of reuniting a war torn galaxy. Her name was Serenity I.
I know what you may be thinking, but no, This doesn't involve the Crystal or the senshi being related to the Nanoha universe in any way. It's simply a way of explaining the rise of the SM, the senshi and crystal being Serenity's ideas.
Skip forwards several millenia, to modern day Japan. The senshi have just defeated (BBEG Pharoah 90 onwards). They are, however, unaware of extremely powerful ancient artifacts that are floating around Tokyo. It's amazing what sentient weapons can achieve with a few gentle mental nudges, eh?
Now I know you're groaning, saying "But Not, that's just a bad excuse to give the senshi devices!" There's a twist. Leftover daemon eggs (ballantly ripped from Shritistrang). They posses the ID's and armed devices. The devices sentience allows them to crush the daemon's instincts and take control of the humanoid body. Just in time for a bunch of girls in fukus to show up and shout about love and justice. Some dialogue later we've got the now semi-human devices working with the senshi.
Another twist; because they were only really magic amplifiers They can't really throw around that much power on their own. So they have to act like unison devices and combine with the senshi. Just imagine the armoured senshi, Raising Heart Moon being a little triggerhappy, Mercury Cross taking potshots while trying to co-ordinate the other senshi, Mars with Levantine going chop happy, Juptiter/Strada trying to get the hang of the jets and the spike on her arm, Venus Assault bouncing around the battle field making mistake with her sayings while the old british sounding Bardiche trying to correct her, Uranus and Neptune Calibers pulling a love love attack, Hotaru with Hayate's armour, wings and all, and Setsuna with a BIG hammer for when she needs to correct the timestream.
Mostly I want to see it for something along the following dialogue:
"We've got to move quickly, Bar! Good news is Usagi's found some girl with armour like yours, but with yellow metal and red gems. Bad news is they've got about a half dozen (insert season's generic enemy here) to take care of without backup!"
"I don't think you have to be quite so worried. The girl sounds quite a bit like Raising Heart, ans she isn't exactly known for-" *Pink light bathes the area as a resounding boom is heard, both quickly fading* "...restraint. Alright maybe we should go quickly, to be damage control."
There are times for magic, there are time for martial arts, and there are times for giant Tiger-Dragon Robots that have both.
Beware the Otaku. He commands a mech that can unleash 123632 gigatons. Thats the equivalent of shooting Chicago, and knocking down ever building from Colorado to Maine.
