I just thought of a glaring problem that might occur even if Magical Girl Ziz-Chan is 100% legit.
Awakening magic burns out any shards that are connected to the person acquiring the magic, right? This happened to Taylor, and it happened to Dragon.
So, what happens when Leviathan and Behemoth ? Do they just shut down...or do they do that thing that happens in 90% of action-oriented works and go completely berserk?
(This post is void if the burnout only happens "clientside" and not "serverside", so to speak.)
The burnout happens to the connection. The device does not contain enough power to physically harm the continent sized shards.
What targets for TK though? You are in open air and based on the speeds of the device, either Ziz wanted Taylor to see her, or they pull required a need to pick up speed. One is most likely a trap but a trap I'm too much of a fool not to take the bait on. The other means her TK will be out of range long enough to have either combatant's fates already sealed.
We have literally seen Ziz TK air molecules before. We already know in canon Simurgh can fight the precog blindspots of Scion and Eidolon by mapping everything they interact with like air molecules, other people seeing them, etc, though she loses some precision.
I'm leaning toward amending my vote with calling the TSAB but not so hard as to make the change just yet. Thoughts on the value of calling the TSAB? Calling the Protectorate seems a bad choice, but if we're waiting more than a few minutes, that's time for a few mages to dimension shift to our location. They aren't all that far away, at least in Nanoha terms.
The TSAB does not bring enough firepower to do this. Noting they would not fight an Endbringer that's to everyone else, in sleep mode. They WOULD fight to defend a population center.
If we wait and see, we"re assuming first that Ziz wants the device for herself, not to make a doomsday weapon out of it. Then we're assuming second that she'll lose her innate powers by entering the device. After that we're assuming third that the entity that results will be friendly, or at least non-hostile.
1) Ziz does not require a device to create a doomsday weapon. Theres not enough on the planet to stop her from creating a couple thousand conventional nuclear devices and setting them off.
2) This has not been an argument made. Simurgh with the device is not significantly harder to fight than Simurgh without the device, even with full power retention.
3) This has also not been an argument made, the entity that results may be easier to communicate with, but its not really going to be more hostile than an active Endbringer.
Ultimately, if Simurgh REALLY needs the Device then theres no reason to take the device from where we can see it happen. People need to eat, sleep and shit, and we've have little chance of a successful pursuit of a tiny object if it was taken while we're not already aware of it. Theres really no reason for the Device to be lifted at a speed where we can JUST BARELY keep up with it, barring improbable coincidence, its moving just slightly faster than we can fly because Simurgh wants us to be there.
