A terrible idea struck me: in the still-smoldering wreckage of her failed experiment, Precia stumbles across Alicia's body... and finds Kyubey sitting next to her, waiting to make her an offer she can't refuse....
2nd version: sometime during the runup to MGLN, or perhaps during the early phase, Fate encounter Kyubey at a moment when she's especially vulnerable to what the Incubator has to offer (perhaps after the whipping scene)... and the entire series takes a hard left turn towards the dark side.
TSAB vs the Incubators... Nanoha determined to save Fate from her, er, fate, no matter what the cost... this could go cracky, or it could get very very nasty indeed.
