Teana's Travels

Teana's Travels is a multi-crossover series centered on Lyrical Nanoha (specifically, on Teana Lanstar) written by DKN 117, broken up into several “Books” that cover Teana's adventures across the multiverse after leaving the TSAB due to a violent falling-out with Nanoha (specifically, this is a Divergence Fic that starts immediately after the White Devil Incident). On the way, she gathers an elite team composed of four other teen girls (Shion Sonozaki, Kaede Fuyou, Marie Swanson (aged up and used with the express permission of Lance-The-Young), and Mai Kitagawa) who left their homeworlds to escape respective tumultuous pasts there, and a fifth teen girl, Ahsoka Tano, who had nothing to escape from in the first place, all her friends & family being dead. The girls, led by Teana, become Gamma Team, and they go on to save several worlds, tackling separate problems that crop up in the realms they travel to while a looming greater threat awaits in the shadows…

The series is divided into multiple books:

Book 0: The Prologue: In the wake of the White Devil Incident, a beyond-furious Teana seals her own Linker Core and disassociates herself from the TSAB and from magic in general, using an old Forerunner destroyer she found, which she dubs Starshot, to leave Midchilda far behind and head out for parts unknown.

Book 1: Spartan: Teana arrives at the planet Reach in early-mid 2552, and rapidly gets caught up in the war plaguing this realm, helping to see it through to the end. The last chapter introduces most of Gamma Team.

Book 1.5: The Starshot swings by a galaxy engulfed in war between the heroic Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire… but they don’t stay long, only swinging by long enough for a Precursor device aboard the ship to reach across reality and resurrect a 15-year-old Togrutan girl, killed two decades earlier in the Great Jedi Purge, who becomes the sixth member of Gamma Team.

Book 2: Wings of Liberty: The Starshot reaches the Koprulu Sector, allying with Raynor's Raiders and assisting them against the corrupt Terran Dominion of Arcturus Mengsk and the reemerging threat of Kerrigan's Zerg Swarm. The author freely admits that, writing-quality-wise, this book is a piece of crap, and promises to eventually perform a total redo.

Book 3: The Starshot reaches a realm where, 16 years previous, the Phoenix League Federation fought itself free from the Sol Confederacy, and during their stay Teana & co. gain access to incredible new skills that point them in the direction of their next travels. Contains a heavily-altered and “What If” timeline of the Rejuve Verse created by "Lurking Dragon".

Rise of the Phoenixes is a side-story that covers the backstory of the Book 3 universe, showing how the corrupt Confederacy fell to the Phoenix League. Tropes for this story will be listed separately below on this page.

Book 4: Shinobi: The group arrives at Konohagakure shortly after the failed mission to apprehend Sasuke Uchiha that led to Naruto Uzumaki unleashing the dreaded 4-Tailed Form against Orochimaru and then engaging Sasuke himself. Here, Teana seeks knowledge pertaining to her mother: Sayuri Lanstar... . Along the way, the dreaded Akatsuki begin to move in earnest...

Book 5: Magistra: The gang arrives at Mahora Academy shortly after the "attack" of Count Wilhelm. Teana learns startling truths about magic, and later on the group gets embroiled in the massive pickle that Mundus Magicus soon finds itself in. Currently in-progress.

Add tropes as you spot 'em. Add character-specific ones to the Characters Page. If I, creator of this page, misplaced any, please put them in the appropriate pages.

Any major developments from the currently-in-progress book or the later section of the previous book is to be spoilered, and be un-spoilered when the book is complete and the next book is started.

Teana's Travels has the following tropes:
"Donny Vermillion: "Donny Vermillion, UNN. Your first, last, and only stop for the truth."
 * Alliteration: In Book 2, the Odin is described as a "magnificent machine of malice".
 * Amazon Brigade: Gamma Team
 * Badass Boast: Even though the team themselves have yet to use it, Gabriel Tosh comes up with one for Gamma Team: "Cry havoc, and let slip the girls of war."
 * Badass Crew: Gamma Team; also, Talon Squad, a group of Skirmishers and the most accomplished Flood-killer team in the entirety of the Covenant (and later the Sangheili Alliance).
 * BFG: Teana's M99 Stanchion
 * Boring but Practical: A few of the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities discovered by Teana. Besides the flashy and eye-damaging "Big Four", the Mangekyō can also grant telescopic sight, and the ability to see a little ways into the infrared and ultraviolet spectra; using these abilities does not damage the eyes like the primary offensive techniques of the Mangekyō do.
 * Broad Strokes: The Higurashi no Naku Koro ni timeline this Shion comes from takes place in 2011, not 1983, and Shion lost her nails for some other unexplained transgression a little while after Keiichi joined the group, not back during Satoshi's time. Also, this Mahou Sensei Negima timeline also takes place in 2011 rather than 2004. Also, the author vehemently disregards the canon data on Lyrical Nanoha characters' heights, refusing to try to accept/comprehend, among other things, Erio & Caro having heights that the author, as an American, associates with six-or-seven-year-olds.
 * The Cameo: Slender Man shows up when Mundus Magicus starts collapsing, literally feeding on the terror of the panicking masses.
 * Cool Starship: Plenty. Besides the Starshot (a 1600-meter-long Forerunner destroyer with shields and armaments enough to match most other civilizations' battleships), the group is friends with the United Nations Space Command, the Sangheili Alliance, Raynor's Raiders, the Protoss, Valerian & Warfield's section of the Dominion, and the Phoenix League, all of whom have formidable navies.
 * Cough-Snark-Cough:

Marie: cough-"Bullshit"-cough"

""...What... What... What is this I don't even...""
 * Death by Adaptation: Jun
 * Death From Above: If need be, the Starshot can fly in low and use its ventral guns to hammer enemy ground forces.
 * Demonic Possession:.
 * Empathic Weapon: The Intelligent Devices, Cross Mirage and Charon.
 * Everyone Is Bi: At least, everyone in Gamma Team and quite a few out of it.
 * Famous Last Words (only those different from canon or for OCs):
 * "Stay safe, little sis"
 * "Teana... You've come so far. Your brother would've been so proud of you. I'll tell him you said hello. I'm thankful that I got to meet you. You were like a daughter to me.
 * "Come on, you sons of bitches! I've got a bullet for each of you! Before I die, I'm sending each and every one of you to Hell!!"
 * "Earth. To finish what we started. To rid the galaxy of those who oppose him. …I feel you humans do not deserve extinction. All beings bask in the light of the Gods... but Truth's light has been eclipsed... by the darkness of his own heart... Noble Sangheili... for Truth's betrayal... I am sorry..."
 * Five-Man Band:
 * Teana: The Hero, Team Dad (rare female example)
 * Shion: The Smart Guy
 * Kaede: The Big Guy
 * Marie: The Big Guy, The Lancer
 * Mai: The Chick
 * Ahsoka: The Sixth Ranger, The Big Guy
 * Flat What: Teana's reaction to the Forerunner slipspace-altering crystal's effects.

"Marie: Huh. They are bigger than Sarah's..."
 * Foe-Tossing Charge: The Master Chief and Teana pull this on the Prophet of Regret's guards to get to the Prophet himself.
 * Groin Attack: Noble-6 pulls this on an Elite early in Book 1. Sangheili have internal genitalia, rather than external like humans, but Spartan strength means it still hurts like a bitch.
 * Hot Chicks In Badass Suits: When dressing formal, Teana and Marie prefer tuxedoes over dresses, much to the pleasure of many.
 * Hotter and Sexier: The original Mahou Sensei Negima didn't show the likely progression of Haruna's pactio with Negi. This fic, on the other hand... (don't worry; it's Work-Safe… barely)
 * Insistent Terminology: "ONI called it a 'practically-sized temporary headquarters'. Teana called it a shack."
 * It's All My Fault / My God, What Have I Done?: In Book 5, Teana has this reaction when it comes out that.
 * Ludicrous Gibs: Common during Book 1, the Halo Universe. Also, the fate of whoever or whatever gets hit by a shot from Teana's M99 Stanchion.
 * Magitek: It turns out that the Forerunners were just as skilled with magic as they were with pure tech, and regularly created machinery that ran on both. In fact, their magic system (derived from the Precursors') was eventually rediscovered and modified into the Al-Hazred system, which in turn gave birth to the Belkan and Midchildan systems.
 * Marshmallow Hell / Funbag Airbag: In Book 1.5, a spar between Teana and Ahsoka leads to a wayward Force Push knocking Shion onto Marie, with the latter's face ending up wedged between the former's boobs.


 * Mid-Season Upgrade: Cross Mirage gets two more new modes during the trip through the Library in Book 1.
 * Morph Weapon: Cross Mirage, Teana's device, has multiple forms: Longsword, pistol, full-auto plasma-bolt pistol, rifle (complete with interchangeable underslung 40mm grenade launcher or energy bayonet), 8-gauge shotgun, and particle-beam sniper rifle. Marie's Device, Charon, has its default Arm Cannon mode that can shapeshift into an arm-mounted Laser Blade.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Good job, Teana! You found a way to save Mundus Magicus without sealing Asuna away for a century! Too bad that.
 * Won't Work On Me: Two people who go up against Hidan do this to his Cursed Ritual: Mai due to her insanely powerful healing factor, and Zhal Arum because it turns out that the ritual only works on humans.
 * Oh My Gods: Teana invokes the Saint Kaiser more than once, and some of the shinobi invoke the Six-Paths Sage. Thanks to being trained by the Dark Templar, Shion has used "By the Void" at least once.
 * Rage Against the Mentor: Teana's against Nanoha kicked off the whole damn series.
 * Ragnarok Proofing: Forerunner tech, including the Starshot. Precursor tech is in less good of shape (and much rarer), but still fulfills its functions.
 * Shoot The Grenade: In the first Delta Halo chapter of Book 1: "There was one memorable moment where the Scorpion's cannon hit an active/tossed plasma grenade that was in midair, leaving the Grunt who threw it too dumbfounded by the odds of what he'd just witnessed to avoid getting ripped apart by the Scorpion's MG turret."
 * Spared by the Adaptation: Foehammer, Yayap, Grace, Will, Kurt, Holly, Miranda Keyes, and Johnson; Tychus Findlay
 * The Atoner: Every single member of the Sangheili Alliance.
 * Twitchy Eye: In Book 0, one of the few subtle warning signs that Teana was about to snap – warning signs that Nanoha and Vita, unfortunately, missed.
 * Values Dissonance: In Sangheili culture, twins are considered "sacred, blessed, a gift from the gods"; you can guess how they reacted when they learned of the torment that Shion had to go through just because she was a twin, and what the Sonozaki view on twins is (them being cursed, and tradition being that the youngest be killed at birth). (Hint: Not well)
 * Wave Motion Gun: The Starshot's particle-beam cannon. Also, some of Teana's and Marie's higher-end attacks.
 * Wrestler in All of Us: Book 1 has Teana clotheslining a Skirmisher, while Book 5 has Zhal Arum pulling a Lariat on one of Takane’s shadow-summons.

Rise of the Phoenixes has the following tropes:

 * Famous Last Words:
 * "Yes, ma'am"
 * "Wh... What have you done?"
 * "Jen... Run..."
 * "KILL YOU!! FUCKING KILL YOU!!!"
 * Nuclear Option: Used to take out the Confederate "fortress-cities" of Detroit and Memphis in the First War.
 * Poke in the Third Eye: What happens to a psyker if the person they're psychically controlling gets enough control over their own body to commit suicide before the psyker can sever the link.
 * Prequel: For the Book 3 universe
 * The Alliance: The Phoenix League in its early days
 * The Empire: The Sol Confederacy
 * The Un-Reveal: Claudia finally remembers what happened to her old friend Eve...
