Thanks all for the favs and reviews. Sorry for the delay but life got somewhat in the way.

animecollecter: I apologize for the similarities, but the reason for that is because I'm not entirely sure where the story should go except for the part I already have planned. read, review, and enjoy. Now onto the story...


"A 'date'?" Mad Dog repeated tilting his head to the side like a dog would at a strange noise or sound. Then he stepped back and waved a hand signaling Arnett to enter his room, which was barren and devoid of any personal items such ass pictures or other things since he had just entered it not to long ago. She took a seat at one of the two chairs at the small table to the right of his bed. Mad Dog closed the door before going to the bathroom to wash his face and get some of the blood off. While in there he also muttered something that Arnett couldn't quite hear before coming out. "Could you explain what a 'date' is?"

"You don't know what a date is?" Arnett said not being able to help herself from laughing.

"I grew up in a rather bad situation and was an outcast. So I didn't get to experience a lot of social things..." Mad Dog said not really all that surprised that Arnett laughed at him for not knowing what a "date" was.

"Why were you bleeding out your nose?" Arnett asked curious as to what caused that to happen. "What would make him bleed out of his nose before he opened the door? I didn't hear any loud crashing noises or something along those lines." She thought knowing that Mad Dog could take an amount of punishment that would normally make a Pandora permanently retire from service or drive them to insanity.

Mad Dog paused quickly debating with himself if he should tell her about his obscenely keen senses. "To hell with it she should know if I'm going to be friends with her, or if I decide to have her as my Pandora..." Mad Dog took off the bandages that covered his bullet wound before speaking. "The reason is because my sense of smell is roughly 400,000 times better than a human's and my other senses are also far beyond even Pandoras like you. The smell of your perfume is overpowering to my obscenely strong sense of smell. I have always had the problem where perfume and cologne give me headaches, plus most of the ones I've smelled before don't even smell good to me."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know." Arnett said feeling like an idiot for deciding to wear perfume without knowing how strong his sense of smell was, or without finding out how strong his senses were.

"Don't beat yourself up about it." Mad Dog said reassuringly. "It was an honest mistake. Don't worry about me bleeding from my nose for a while. Besides the perfume you are using is one of a few that I like the smell of." Mad Dog added creating a smile on Arnett's face, although she still had the problem of explaining what a "date" was to him.

For some reason the image of Mad Dog striking the first year Limiter in the cafeteria in front of everyone came into her head, and she spoke before thinking. "Why did you attack that first year Limiter two days ago?" There was a pause before she realized what she did and smacked herself on the forehead lightly. Mad Dog visibly froze for a few seconds with what Arnett said.

"The reason for that is a part of my past I would love to forget, however it is seared into my mind as something that haunts my sleep. Something that makes it hard to have friends, shake hands, or even deal with people." Mad Dog said as she wisely didn't bother to ask any further questions about it.

"Well enough of that." Arnett said standing up getting Mad Dog's attention. "Lets go out and get some drinks!" She said enthusiastically then Mad Dog used Volt Texture to conjure a black t-shirt and a black trench coat before putting his shoes on and leaving with Arnett to go get some drinks at a bar in the city across from the Gentetics academy. The monorail was sparse which was to Mad Dog's liking and didn't take long to get him and Arnett to the city of Kibou. Ounce they got off of the monorail all of the many multitudes of smells gave Mad Dog a nasty headache so Arnett was forced to almost drag him around. She didn't mind in the least bit, she practically enjoyed it.

In the city Arnett could tell that Mad Dog was vary uneasy with all of the different smells and sounds. She on the other hand felt quite at ease and led him to a bar full of people that looked like they were in college or a bit older. Off to the right of the front door to the bar was a section that had booths with high backed seats. Arnett found them a corner table so Mad Dog would feel more comfortable being there with clear sight of the front and back doors.

"Would you two like anything?" a male waiter asked Mad Dog but Arnett answered for him.

"Yes, could we get some champagne and-" Arnett spoke before Mad Dog interrupted her.

"Hard cider If you have any, or if not I'd like to hear what else you have for alcoholic beverages." Mad Dog said as the waiter nodded before handing them two wine glasses and a glass mug for their alcoholic beverages.

After the waiter left to get the drinks Arnett asked. "Do you mind if I ask you about your home world?" Shortly after the man had left he came back with a bottle of wine and a pitcher of hard cider, and set them down in the table before moving onto other customers.

Mad Dog nodded his head then muttered the same phrase she had heard at his room.

"What was it like? You know, before the Nova invaded." Arnett asked sipping her wine glass.

"It was a verdant world with a bit higher gravity than here and an atmosphere that's roughly the same as Earth. Overall the view from space looking down onto the planet was breathtaking, even with the blotches of civilization from three different races and blasted bits of land from wars or battles against fought against each other."

"When did the Nova invade your world?"

"It was roughly twelve years ago when the Nova invaded my home world. They hit it hard. Most of the major cities of the world were destroyed in the initial attack. Two weeks after that we pushed them out of our dimension, but they came back again and managed to hold some ground. In the following years the races of my world got a hold of several type-S Nova and made stigma from them to make Nova-Slayers, what you humans here call Pandora. Because our technology was more advanced than what your is now we were able to make regular stigma quickly as well as experimental stigmata that were far more powerful than the standard ones, but those were double edged swords. The ones implanted with them had great power but they half the suffered damage while using the experimental stigmata."

Arnett pondered what Mad God had said for a moment before a question came to her mind. "Do you have any experimental Stigmata?" She asked then Mad Dog took a large sip of his hard cider then nodded.

"Yes...I do." Mad Dog answered more quietly then Arnett thought he was capable of. "Eighteen of them, although I have a 95% compatibility I do suffer side effects from time to time."

"What are the side effects you suffer?" Arnett asked showing some concern for the meta-human in her voice.

"I'd rather not say." Mad Dog answered plainly. "What else would you like to know about me?" He added questioningly.

"How about we talk more about your home world." Arnett suggested and Mad Dog nodded then drank more hard cider.

Four hours later Mad and Arnett left the bar at around 8:00pm, after talking up a storm about the werewolf's home world, with Mad Dog carrying the drunk and passed out Arnett on his back. Just as the monorail had been basically empty on the way to the city it was in the same state when Mad Dog got on to head back to the academy. When he got to the third year female dorm the residents made quite the commotion as they saw him carrying Arnett.

"Is he the only male Pandora here?" One Pandora whispered to another behind Mad Dog's back.

"I heard that guy has more than one Volt Weapon, but no one has seen even one of them." Another third year said but Mad Dog ignored the Pandoras for the most part. He walked up to a map of the third year female dorm to find Arnett's room to put her there before heading back to his own. Arnett's room was on the second floor near the middle of the building. Mad Dog easily went up the stairs as if he didn't have a knocked out Pandora on his back and headed for Arnett's room. As he walked down the hallway Elizabeth turned the corner in time to see Mad Dog carrying Arnett and enter her room using her id card to enter it.

"Why is he here?" Elizabeth thought to herself before Mad Dog closed Arnett's door and left at a brisk walking pace. "He dropped her off after she went out with him? It seems she's made the first move, but I'll get him regardless." Elizabeth thought planning to throw a party for him so she could use her friends to pry information out of him as well as a chance for her to talk privately to the male Pandora.

"I haven't eaten much today..." Mad Dog grumbled to himself as he walked towards the second year male dorm. "I hope the cafeteria isn't closed." Mad Dog then decided to head for the cafeteria to get dinner. On his way to the school building there were several crashes and fighting sounds near the first year dorm that sidetracked Mad Dog. When he got close enough Mad Dog saw that the Untouchable Queen was fighting with another Pandora, and by the power Mad Dog could sense from her it was a third year student.

"Why do you break the rules that protect everyone?!" The third year Pandora growled at Satellizer who readied her Volt Weapon for a strike on the older Pandora.

"If you're wanting to punish someone for nearly killing that slut of a Pandora you should come after me." Mad Dog said surprising Satellizer and the other Pandora. "What's your name third year, I'm curious."

"Ingrid Burnstien 'The guardian of Discipline', who the hell are you?" Ingrid said getting ready to strike the unexpected male if he was the one she was thinking he was.

"Why don't you attack me already and find out?" Mad Dog said then a predatory grin came to his face before he materialized his wrist blade Volt Weapon that was a bracer with extendible blades on them. Unlike the last time Satellizer had seen him materialize a Volt weapon Mad Dog had a wrist blade bracer on both of his arms.

"You're the one!" Ingrid said with gritted teeth when she realized that Mad Dog was the one who had nearly killed Miyabi and the one she was going to punish. Mad Dog disappeared from everyone's sight and crossed the wrist blades when he slashed at Ingrid's back in an instant before he went back to standing near Satellizer.

"I should warn you that I am on a completely different level from any other Pandora here, possibly including the one you guys call a 'monster'." Mad Dog said then made his Volt Weapon disappear before Ingrid got up fueled by anger. "If you agree to forgive what I did I will tell you what happened on my part when I nearly kill Miyabi, or whatever her name is." Mad Dog said catching both female's attentions as well as anyone else within ear shot that was listening, which was most of the first year male dorm.

"He's going to explain why he snapped when I was fighting Miyabi?" Satellizer thought to herself quite interested in what the werewolf was going to say.

"Damn it! This monster is way to powerful for me to lay a hand on. I guess I'll have to agree to what he says..." Ingrid thought to herself frustrated that she wouldn't be able to physically punish the werewolf like she wanted to, but she knew better than to get herself killed trying to do that. "I forgive you..." Ingrid said reluctantly.

"The reason is simple; Miyabi helped to put me in a similar situation to one that haunts me to this day. It was when my older sister died protecting me from lizard humanoids and a type of Nova you humans thankfully have yet to encounter. After she died I went into a berserk rage killing anything thing that moved, which cost the lives of my friends and family save for one person who I killed later."

"Who was it that you killed later?!" Ingrid asked just as stunned as Satellizer was at the new found information about some of Mad Dog's bloody past.

"It was my father." Mad Dog replied showing no signs that his father's death by his hands had any negative affect on him. "Don't even bother to ask if that ass whole deserved it, because he did for what he caused me to go through." Mad Dog added before shaking his head a little. "I've said too much..." He trailed off while walking away leaving Satellizer feeling sorry for him. Ingrid just got up and left Satellizer to sit on the ground next to the first year male dorm.

When Mad Dog got to his room he locked the door and went to sleep, only to wake up a few hours later from one of his nightmares. After waking up at 2:00am he took a shower then read a book until he had to leave for classes. There was a rumor going around Genetics that the werewolf had beaten Ingrid in an instant which meant that the student body as a whole gave him quite a bit of room when he got up to do anything, just like they did with Satellizer El Briget the "Untouchable Queen". During Mad Dog's physics class a male came into Yumi's class interrupting it while handing her a piece of paper.

"Mad Dog and Satellizer El Bridget report to the principal's office." Yumi announced before the class went back to taking a test and the two students whose names Yumi called left heading for the principal's office. When Mad Dog got to the principal's office, with a burger in hand because he was slightly hungry, there were quite a few Pandoras waiting for him.

"Do you ever stop eating?" Arnett said jokingly as he walked in.

"Come on, I had forgotten to eat something this morning so I stopped to get a snack before coming here." Mad Dog replied trying to defend himself. "What's with all of these Pandoras here?" He asked getting right to the point much quicker than anybody but Sister Margret expected.

"Since you went to the point I guess I will too." Sister Margret began turning around to face the crimson eyed werewolf. "I've decided to mix you with the third years for their Carnival in the hopes that we will see a Volt Weapon."

"Who do you mean by 'we'?" Mad Dog asked defensively while setting himself up for a defensive battle if the Pandora he didn't know in the room went after him.

"Three Chevalier officers and me." Sister Margret responded. "Besides some of the Pandoras in the room."

"I see." Mad Dog said although the only who didn't quite see the werewolf slightly shift position was Sister Margret in case he needed to defend himself in the office. "However three or so people have seen one of my Volt Weapons before, and Satellizer El Bridgett is one of them." He added pointing to the Untouchable Queen. There were a few gasps from the other Pandoras in the room as well as a few of them wondering why Stella was the only one who had seen any of the werewolf's Volt weapons.

"I have seen one of his Volt weapons as well." Ingrid chimed in, but was ignored by everyone except for Sisiter Margret who made a mental note that two Pandoras had seen one of his Volt weapons.

"You're a Pandora right?" Elizabeth asked as Mad Dog nodded. "Then you should only have one Volt Weapon, not multiple."

"Keep in mind human that the technology of my home world was or is more advanced than here. So it wasn't impossible to make Stigmata that could allow one to have more than the single Volt Weapon, even if that technology was experimental at best." Mad Dog countered reminding the people in the room of their literal racial difference as well as the technology gap between them. Only an idiot wouldn't have noticed the slight bit of venom that was in the werewolf's voice when he said "human" to the wealthy third year.

"Why is the reason that none of the Pandoras you've faced in the battle arena have seen you use a Volt Weapon?" Chiffon Fairchild, also well known as the "monster" and the strongest Pandora in the world, asked.

"That's because none of my twelve Volt Weapons were necessary to pummel them, and if I had used any of them there would have been guaranteed fatalities." Mad Dog answered honestly. "Really though if you want to see my Volt Weapons I could just show you." He added shaking his head a little.

"What did the Volt Weapon look like Satellizer?" Arnett asked rather curious about Mad Dog's Volt Weapon. Stella stood there not really sure how to explain what the Volt Weapon looked like.
