Kazuya and Rana come around the corner into the living area. Kazuya is shaking his head and groaning. Rana is smiling like a giddy school girl, which in most ways she is. Windy May stands facing them with her arms crossed over her chest and a small glare trained right at Kazuya. Cassandra stands slightly behind her with her arms at her side and a small affectionate smile gracing her lips as she gazes upon Kazuya. Lucie and Teslad sit upon the couch the former attempting to ignore the situation and the latter just being her usual self.

Cassandra moves past Windy May to embrace Kazuya nestling his head between her breasts. Kazuya jerks some what startled, but relaxes when he feels the comfortable embrace of Cassandra's arms and breasts. He lets out a small sigh into them causing Cassandra to widen her smile and hold him more tightly. Almost as tightly as she did when she was reunited with him, over a year ago, after the twelfth Nova clash.

"Enjoying. Yourself. Kazuya-kun." Kazuya goes rigid and attempts to pull back to look at Windy May, but Cassandra keeps him from doing so. Windy May walks closer to the pair and crouches down so Kazuya can glance downward at her. Though, it doesn't go as planned as Kazuya, to begin with, doesn't bother to try and shift his head to look down and seconds, after Windy May has crouched, Cassandra has pulled Kazuya away to the other side of the living area. From her crouch Windy May glares at Cassandra. Her smile is present on her face making the glare that much creepier. Cassandra, of course, is unfazed by this and just returns Windy May's glare with one of her own.


Satellizer runs through the West Genetics campus heading for the main building. Tears stream down her face as she nears the steps leading towards the front door. Glowing lines appear along her neck, hands and face as she reaches the base of the steps. Kicking off she leaps up onto the roof of the main building and runs over to her old hiding spot upon the roof. The glowing lines recede as she sinks down to a seated position. Pulling her legs up to her chest she begins to cry into her thighs.


Amelia comes to a stop at the base of the main building. She stares up at the rooftop with a sad smile on her face. Activating her plasma stigmata causing the glowing lines to spread up her neck towards her face and along her hands she crouches. She then lets out a sigh and straightens back up. The glowing lines recede and then disappear all together.

"Maybe it's best if I leave her be for a little." Amelia sighs out as she moves to sit upon the first step. Resting her elbows on her thighs she places her head upon the palms of her hands and stares at the courtyard stones. Footsteps cause her to snap her head up.

"Is something wrong, Amelia?" Elizabeth inquires as she comes to a stop a few feet from the crimson haired young lady with her arms crossed across her stomach. She wears her chevalier attire. Amelia gives Elizabeth a small smile.


"Let go..." Kazuya barely manages to get out with his head mashed between Cassandra's breasts. Cassandra glances down at him her glare replaced by a sad frown. Windy May continues to give Cassandra her smiling glare only now she's standing at her full height with her arms crossed over her chest.

"You heard him, Cassandra." Cassandra glances back up at Windy May though with a half-ass version of her previous glare. "Let. Him. Go." Cassandra shakes her head and holds him more tightly. Kazuya begins to squirm around in her embrace. "Damn it, Cassandra. You're going to kill him." Cassandra glances down at Kazuya.

"Kill...my...baby...?" Cassandra lets Kazuya go. Kazuya falls onto his ass. He lets out a yelp of pain, but it's over shadowed by a siren going off and words booming out over it.

"Alert. Alert. All Legendary Pandora, Pandora and Limiters gear up and prepare for deployment." Kazuya's eyes widen and he springs to his feet. Windy May is already beside him, before he can even register her, linking her arm with his. Cassandra takes the free one, his left arm, and the two of them lift Kazuya off the ground and dash out of the flat. Lucie and Teslad exchange glances before they, followed by Rana, dash out of the flat after their sisters and nephew.


Satellizer snaps her tear stained face up upon hearing the siren go off. She doesn't move as the voice booms over the siren. "Alert. Alert. All Legendary Pandora, Pandora and Limiters gear up and prepare for deployment." Satellizer lowers her head back to her thighs and begins crying into them again soaking the skirt of her West Genetics uniform even more.


"Really? Now? I just arrived back and I have to deal with a Nova strike." Elizabeth lets out a heavy sigh as Amelia stands up and activates her plasma stigmata. "You, Arnett and Cleo come back and not a single thing. I'm cursed aren't I?" Amelia giggles at that causing Elizabeth to smile softly at her.

"Cursed or not we've got to go, Elizabeth-san." Elizabeth gives Amelia a small pout, but nonetheless nods her head. "Just give me a minute to grab Satella-san." Elizabeth's pout disappears and she raises a brow as Amelia leaps up. Elizabeth watches her back flip onto the roof of the main building.


Amelia lands, turns and scans the rooftop for any signs of Satellizer. Unable to spot her she dashes to the other side of the roof calling out to her. "Satella-san!? Are you still up here!?" Amelia turns her head to the left and spots Satellizer balled up and crying just as Elizabeth lands upon the roof. "Satella-san..." Amelia whispers as she goes over to the younger lady and kneels down in front of her. Elizabeth approaches them with the glowing lines along her neck, face and hands signifying her active plasma stigmata.

"What's happened now?" Amelia doesn't glance or give a reply to Elizabeth she just wraps her arms around Satellizer and pulls the young lady against her. Satellizer responds by wrapping her arms around Amelia and crying into her chest. "Why is it every time I see this young one she's always in a state of despair?" Amelia glances up at Elizabeth with a small glare as she cradles Satellizer. Elizabeth takes a small step backwards. "Amelia..." Amelia rises up, pulling Satellizer up with her, and angles herself to be able to take in Elizabeth's full form.

"Leave Satella-san alone, Elizabeth-san." Elizabeth's eyes widen at the amount of venom Amelia puts behind her words and she takes another step backwards. "She's been through enough. She doesn't need you mocking her." The sound of the booming voice halts any response that Elizabeth could attempt to make.

"Alert. Alert. All Legendary Pandora, Pandora and Limiters gear up and prepare for deployment." Amelia glares once more at Elizabeth as she strokes Satellizer's hair and then takes off with double accel. Elizabeth remains dumbstruck by what just happened.


Amelia arrives, with Satellizer cradled in her arms, to find a few dozen Pandora and about a dozen Limiters all ready to go. Arnett, Cleo and Ingrid are among them. The three of them walk over to Amelia. Each of them has a brow raised at the sight before them.

"What's up with Satella-chan?" Arnett inquires as she looks down at Satellizer's crying face. Amelia shakes her head and crouches down to place Satellizer on the floor of the deployment area. Only the crying younger lady won't let go of her. A small sad smile creeps along Amelia's face while a slightly confused one graces Arnett's. "I'm missing something again, aren't I?"

"Indeed you are, Arnett." Arnett snaps her head up from Satellizer upon hearing Elizabeth's voice. Cleo and Ingrid also settle their gazes upon Elizabeth. "Though, I'm in the dark as well as to what has happened to Satella-san." Amelia sighs.

"It's a personal matter that I happened to bear witness to." Amelia looks down at Satellizer's tear stained crying face. Amelia strokes Satellizer's hair as she cradles the younger lady in her right arm. The other ladies exchange glances and seem to have the sense to let it go and go back to focusing on the call for deployment. Well, all of them except for Arnett.

"I'm practically Satella-chan's best friend. I have a right to know what's going on with her." Amelia glances up at Arnett to see the younger lady with her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes narrowed. "Tell me, Amelia-san." Amelia sighs and looks back down at Satellizer. Arnett taps her foot impatiently awaiting a response from Amelia. Before Amelia can give her one the deployment area hanger doors begin to slide open.


Kazuya lets out a heavy sigh as he spots the large forms of the S-Type Nova, on the outskirts of the campus, from his spot on the root top, of the main campus building, holding hands with Lucie. Lucie doesn't pull her eyes off of the S-Type Nova until Kazuya begins tracing circles on her left hand. She turns her head and glances down at their entwined hands and then up at Kazuya. Kazuya just stares off at the S-Type Nova suggesting he's subconsciously or unconsciously caressing her hand. Lucie smiles softly, but doesn't say anything. She turns her head back to the S-Type Nova as a bright light begins to emerge from their core's.


There's a hard look in Windy May's narrowed eyes as she swings her Legendary Plasma War Hammer. Her usual smile is present, but she doesn't seem to be as cheerful as usual. Her hammer collides with the head of a Saurian Nova and completely caves it in as about a dozen more converge upon her. As Windy May spins around and smashes several of them into oblivion several others are sliced clean in two by Teslad who appears next to Windy May as all the damaged Saurian Nova begin disintegrating.

Windy May and Teslad exchange glances as a huge blast of plasma energy tears past Windy May inches from her face. The plasma blast eviscerates almost three dozen Saurian Nova. Windy May turns her head and lays a glare upon Cassandra who stands, a few feet away, with her Legendary Plasma Blade lowered down like a heavy artillery gun.

Teslad lashes out with her Legendary Plasma Bladed Tonfas shredding through several Saurian Nova in a protective stance over Windy May. She then nudges Windy May with her right elbow. Windy May pulls her glare from Cassandra and gets her head back into the situation at hand as she swings her war hammer with a nasty little snarl.


Arnett and Amelia stand back to back with their plasma weapons held at the ready. Each of them has a grin on their glowing line covered face as they swing their weapons diagonally cutting through a couple of Saurian Nova each.

Several feet from them Cleo and Rana stand back to back throwing punches at any Saurian Nova that come within range. Seeming to be unable to punch through these young ladies defenses the Saurian Nova pull back and begin to organize for a combined strike only before they can move forward they're bombarded by plasma blasts. A feral grin comes across Cleo and Rana's faces as they split up and begin jamming double accel level speed punches into the heads of the Saurian Nova, under the cover of the plasma blasts.

Elizabeth smiles, as plasma blasts from her plasma weapon rain down upon the Saurian Nova, as she sees Satellizer and Ingrid moving side by side as they shred through Saurian Nova after Saurian Nova. Her smile fades when she spots the bright light emerging from the core's of the S-Type Nova, on the outskirts of the campus.


Windy May looks about ready to explode, not literally, but figuratively, as yet another plasma blast passes inches from her face before eviscerating a few dozen Saurian Nova. This one closer than the previous two. Windy May is about to round on Cassandra when Teslad nudges her this time with her left elbow. Windy May turns back to Teslad and catches sight of the bright light emerging from the core's of the S-Type Nova. Her eyes widen as she takes off towards the S-Type Nova.

"Get everyone clear." Teslad nods her head as Windy May disappears among the hordes of Saurian Nova lacing the campus' main courtyard. Teslad deliberately passes by Cassandra so she can nudge her in the side of the head. Cassandra glances at Teslad. Teslad just gestures with her head for Cassandra to, no doubt, do as Windy May instructed.


"I really don't like the looks of what's going on over there, Lucie-san." Kazuya says without taking his eyes off the S-Type Nova. "I really think you should go and deal with it." Lucie's eyes widen and she shifts her gaze from the S-Type Nova to Kazuya. Kazuya still doesn't take his eyes off the S-Type Nova.

"Kazuya...?" The question in Lucie's voice causes Kazuya to take his gaze off the S-Type Nova and turn his head to look at her. Lucie stares at him with a look of mild shock.

"You don't have to stay here and babysit me, Lucie-san. I'm not even in the middle of the fighting." Kazuya gestures out around them. "I'm up here on the roof of the main building while everyone else is fighting."

"You're up here and I'm with you for your protection not because myself or any of my sisters believes you need to be babysat." Lucie replies as she gives Kazuya a fond smile. Kazuya returns the smile with a sad one of his own.

"I just..." Kazuya looks away from Lucie back towards the brightening light at the S-Type Nova's cores. "I feel guilty, you know. I'm up here away from it all while the other Limiters are down there fighting enemies they are no match for. Not to mention the fact that things could end a lot sooner if you were down there aiding your sisters, Lucie-san." Lucie grasps Kazuya's chin lightly and turns his head back so she can lock gazes with him.

"Listen to me, Kazuya."
