Story

  • "Fate/stay night×Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha"

Rin Tohsaka conducts the ritual to summon a Servant for the Fifth Holy Grail War. However, instead of canonically summoning Archer, she accidentally ends up with two magical girls: Nanoha Takamachi and Fate Testarossa. Over at Shirou Emiya's house, she expresses doubts that magical girls (at least, the classical image of them) can even compete with the real Servants. Shirou's own Servant Saber asks to confirm the girls' power. The two of them battle her on equal grounds, and the astonished Tohsaka has to admit that modern magical girls are "more radical" than they used to be. Meanwhile, in Uminari City, Yuuno Scrya ends up summoning Archer himself.

  • "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha×Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA"

In Fuyuki City, Illya and Miyu prepare for a race at the school pool. However, the moment they jump into the water, they are pulled into the interdimensional space littered with buildings from all over the world. Their Kaleidosticks (which function akin to Intelligent Devices) recommend leaving as soon as they find the culprit responsible for the dimensional warp. Just then, a giant formless monster similar to the ones spawned by Jewel Seeds attacks them. They evade and counterattack to no effect. Then, however, Nanoha arrives and obliterates it with a massive Divine Buster blast. Illya and Miyu are surprised to see a "real magical girl" when Nanoha introduces herself, and Magical Ruby comments how Illya's power level rose dramatically after watching her. Nanoha asks if they have seen Fate, who has also been pulled into the warp, and they go searching for her.

At this moment, the space around them begins to crumble and many more monsters appear. As they fend them off, the dimensional flux intensifies and a building starts falling onto Nanoha, who is saved by Fate's timely arrival. Fate dismisses her gratitude and points towards a clock tower that hasn't been affected by the flux, meaning that the culprit must be hiding inside. The tower is protected by a powerful shield, so the girls combine their powers to take it down. Inside are Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Edelfelt, who have been experimenting with magic and accidentally created a dimension warp. After Illya knocks both out, Fate leaves through a portal in the tower. Illya comments that she seems opposed to the idea of being friends with Nanoha, but Nanoha only replies that she is glad to have become friends with her and Miyu. As Illya and Miyu return to their world, they learn that only ten seconds have passed since they left, so nobody noticed their absence. However, she then realizes that Raising Heart returned along with her instead of Magical Ruby.
