I do not own Freezing in any format, or presentation. This is a fan fiction only
Kazuya Aoi had very little if any emotional support, but the only emotional support came from his sister Kazuha, some people even joked that she acted more like his mother than his sister. They were as close as close can be, they shared everything together, but then came the time apart where a big, scary looking guy took care of him. Took care of him was a kind way to say that he taught how to fight, take care of himself and be completely auto sufficient.
By the time Kazuya was a small boy his sister graduated and moved in with her limiter, the guy was a pretty friendly guy, and he made his sister happy, the guy always was friendly with him, and at least had the decency to wait till he was asleep before sleeping with Kazuha, she always teased him that he was expecting her brother to be surprised at two lovers making noise as they made love. He might be a little boy, but he was no full. They were both pure Nova/human hybrids of the highest caliber.
When the call came that Kazuha and her limiter were going to be deployed for what later would be called the 8th Nova Clash. Kazuya asked his sister to let the other Pandora deal with it, that he only had her, that he would be completely alone without her. Kazuha told him that it was her duty to go and defend humanity, but most importantly him too. Kazuya out of sheer emotional distress cast an omni directional freezing that stopped both Kazuha and her limiter on their way to the door. A jug of lemonade on the nearby table, froze solid and the jug broke. The pieces of the jug were floating in the air.
Kazuha had to calmed down her brother by using her Pandora mode, and even then she had difficulty trying to reach her brother. She told him that she would be back, that no weak little Nova was going to take her from him, they would both be back and tell him stories of their victory, so there was no need to feel afraid, as she hugged him the freezing came undone and the pieces of the jug came down and hit the table top.
It was days later when Kazuya was told that his sister had died to save the lives of her friends, her lover had been incinerated by a Nova high density beam. The day Kazuha died he swore to get revenge against the things that had taken so many of his relatives, his mother, his sister, and his brother in law. The big guy tried to console Kazuya, but he told him that if he was going to do anything it would be training. "Weakness and Overconfidence got my sister killed. I will not make the same mistakes, it is time for those bastards to know what fear is. And I will teach it to them."
For eight solid years Kazuya did nothing but train, he was only 16 years old but he had the muscles of a highly trained athlete, and the stamina that could rival an Olympic runner. He managed to push his freezing abilities to the absolute maximum and then went beyond it. At the age of 10 he could use the freezing to increase the pressure to the point that he could crush a barrel to be as thin as a piece of paper. His Muay Thai, which his care taker taught him earned him a few local trophies, and at age 16 he had learned everything the man could teach him.
"Kazuya there is more to life that training and study, you need to learn to enjoy life." Kazuya looked at the man, still after all this time trying to console him. "My sister is dead, and I am alone in this world. Pray tell, how am I supposed to enjoy life, when I have none to enjoy it with. The Nova made sure of that, and I train to one day show them my appreciation of what they did for me."
Gengo Aoi was concerned with his son's obsession with training, he had made no friends his own age, and if he was not eating, sleeping or bathing, he was training. Kazuya's cellphone got a call from him and he pushed the button to accept the call. "Kazuya, you will be sent to West Genetics, to study with people your age, I hope that there you will find someone who you will love, just like Kazuha did."
"Father, I don't have time to waste with a bunch of weaklings, either give me a better reason or let me continue to train on my own." Gengo did not like the way his son spoke to him, it was clear he had some resentment towards him. "Very well, Kazuya why don't you enter the next Carnival, if you think they are weak you should be able to see if you are right or wrong if you participate. Maybe you might even have some fun."
"If I win I want you to give me back my gloves. No excuses, and you will tell whoever is in charge that I will take no bullying or disrespect from them, they insult me or my sister, and they will pay the price." Gengo agreed to the gloves but not to the point of attacking fellow students, for being stupid, they were teenagers they probably wouldn't know any better.
"The helicopter should arrive shortly. I know I don't say this enough, son, and for that I am sorry. But you do know I love you, and I hope you find someone to make you see the good in life." Kazuya told him thank you for telling him that he cared, but told him not to hold his breath about him finding someone to love, "It would take a small miracle for me to find someone interesting enough for me to talk to, let alone fall in love with."
When the chopper arrived a young woman was there to greet him, he did not waste anytime, he told her he knew about the whole limiter selection, and the ereinbar set. If she had anything to tell him to tell him about the regulations and rules of the school. So that is what she did, but first she asked him if he did not want to take his shades off. "I rather not, people tend to be a bit frightened when they see my eyes, but you know what that feels, am I right Aunty Fairchild?" She told him that indeed she knew how that felt.
"But Kazuya please call me Chiffon, you make me feel so old, when you call me Aunty. I am just a few years older than you are after all. " Kazuya promised to do so from now on, and she smiled at him. He took of his shades and his eyes indeed where frightening to everyone, except her. They looked like the eyes of a Nova, and held such sorrow and anger that would cause anyone to think that he was a Nova in disguise.
"So I hope we make it to the start of the carnival, I wouldn't want to get there late." Chiffon asked him why would it matter to him, he was enrolled as a limiter. "Well, dad, promised me that I could participate during your carnival Chiffon, trying to measure my skills it seems. Don't you hold back on me, cause I won't hold back on anyone." Chiffon told him their carvinal was after the 2nd years finished theirs, so there was plenty of time.
The two took the time to get to know each other and to talk about ways he could hide his eyes without the need for shades. Chiffon told him that she kept her eyes closed, with eyes like theirs she could see quite clearly even with her eyes closed. As Kazuya pushed more of his power to his eyes they formed a small cover over them, till his eyes looked bright blue, she asked him how he managed that. He told her that he simply created a lens over his eyes, it was like his shades, but no one would even notice.
"I wonder why didn't I think of that, some special contact lenses. But oh, well, they are pretty much used to me being this way. So Kazuya don't tell me you are going to fight bare handed in the carnival, you know that everyone will have weapons and I am no exception." Kazuya simple make a fist and suddenly he had some really impressive gauntlets and boots. "Melee type. I am not going to go unarmed, you can relax Chiffon. I might send some of my opponents to the emergency room, but I will be just fine."
As they reached the arena, she made a promise to herself, and that was to avoid Kazuya during the carnival, not that she did not think that she would hurt him, it was the opposite in fact, "Those things look like they feel like they got kicked by a mule." As Kazuya was walking calmly through the carnival, some of the high ranking officer watching were confused, "Is that a limiter trying to fight fully armored and armed Pandora in their carnival?" One told them that he might be trying to win points with his girl.
"Well he will be the shortest lived limiter in human record." As he heard the carnival start three Pandora came out of hiding to make fun of him. Smacking his fists together the was a bright light, and the young man was not in full armor and he extended his hand taunting them to attack first. The three did not like how he was acting so they rushed him, it took Kazuya a grand total of five seconds to knocked all of them out. He just gave each a kick to the head when they were on the ground for good measure.
He walked forward to find his next opponent, he just hoped that the next was better than those three he left behind him. "Ok, what the hell is the meaning of this, no limiter can use volt weapons, and volt texture." Sister Margaret took a sip from her tea, and told them he was the brother of Kazuha Aoi. This made everyone remember that the hero of the 8th Nova Clash was indeed someone who went beyond expectations. Why would her brother be any different.
20 Pandora defeated and he was seriously thinking that this was the most boring thing ever. "I think I might actually be defeated by boredom, I swear, no talent so far, and these are the future defenders of humanity." Creo walked out of her hiding place. "I know what you mean, they should take their training more seriously. Since we are both melee type, why don't you try out your skills on me. Maybe that will cure your boredom."
10 minutes later Kazuya finished his fight, Creo was on the ground and the signal was given that the Carnival was over. He helped her up and thanked her for a rather nice fight. His weapons and armor disappeared he was wearing black combat boots, cargo pants also black, and a black workout shirt that was seen through and opening in his black leather jacket. "Where are you going after this? a funeral?" Kazuya told him that if the current Pandora did not up their game, it was a funeral for all of humanity. He was simply ready for the worst.
"You know you need to lighten up a little. I kept telling you on the ride here to smile, guess you just don't listen to advice." Creo asked Chiffon if she knew the guy she was talking to. "Oh, this guy is Kazuya Aoi, my precious little nephew. But honestly Kazuya did you have to kick your opponent when they were clearly defeated. That was a bit of overkill don't you think so." Kazuya told her that there was no such a thing as overkill. He simply made sure they would actually stay down.
"But wait does this mean he is going to have a Pandora rank?" Chiffon told her that more than likely he was just going to be treated as an extra challenge added to the carnival and that those that lost would keep their old ranks. "So I wonder who is going to have him as a significant other." Kazuya looked at Creo and smiled a rather sinister smile. "I have armor and weapons, so you see. I don't need anyone, I can fight on my own."
"But who will do the freezing?" Kazuya extended his hand towards a bit and Creo was frozen in place. "Oh, you mean this? I guess this pretty much answers that." Kazuya canceled the freezing and walked away. "Damn, that felt good. I almost felt even better than when I am in bed with my limiter." Chiffon looked at the blushing face of Creo as she looked at her. "I woudn't know he never used his freezing on me."
