Amelia crashed through a wall into Scarlett Ohara's office. She coughed into her hand and looked at it. There was blood in her hand. Already…?! I have to hurry… Amelia thought.
"Don't move!" Amelia looked over and saw a Chevalier Pandora and her Limiter. "Don't try to resist! Shortly, reinforcements will arrive from headquarters. Even with a miracle this rebellion won't be successful."
"It's always like this… if I do nothing, no door will open… Then now. I will break down those doors with strength! Even if a hell awaits!" Amelia yelled. Small stigmatic wings grew out of her artificial stigmata.
"What?! She wants to kill herself!?" Amelia began to charge toward the Pandora with a roar. The two of them began to clash. Then Amelia targeted the Limiter.
"Freezing!" He called. But there was no effect. Impossible! Freezing has no effect?! He was then stabbed in the left side of his chest and started screaming.
"Bentley!" The Pandora cried. "You monster!" She cried, mourning her loss. "Triple Accel!"
The Pandora rammed Amelia through a wall and landed on her stunned body. "Emergency… send reinforcements… urgently… send at least one platoon to section 21… The enemy is… a Type Nova!" The Pandora yelled as Amelia stabbed her through the chest. Amelia stood up and started coughing. She then spit out blood.
My body has… reached its limit… please... hold on… just a little more…! Amelia was in Scarlett's office and started crawling on the floor looking for the diary. She needed evidence for the world to see and noticed a hidden door behind a bookshelf.
Scarlett Ohara was inside that hidden room looking at several stasis tubes containing bodies. "So, this has to be my destiny… I'm having what I deserve…" Scarlett was saying. "I've abandoned the scientific ethic… I've even abandoned my pride… even offering my whole self in exchange…My sins… win never be forgiven…" Then there was an explosion in the wall behind her and Amelia entered. "Finally, you are here… Amelia Evans."
"What the… what is this!? What the hell is this!?
"Answer me, Scarlett Ohara! What are those things!?"
"These are clones of Maria Lancelot. I created them myself."
"Maria Lancelot? The world's first Pandora?" Amelia asked.
"This is really why I started the E-Pandora project. So I could refine these clones for combat. With these, humans won't need to fight anymore."
"Then what did Gina almost die for! This wasn't worth anything! Are we all just test subjects to you?!
"Yes. I'm sorry that that is what you had to become. And I apologise for the deaths your friends." The doctor paused. "But I've come too far to turn back."
"Do you think I will believe your lies again?!" Amelia yelled as she ran toward Scarlett. She then got trapped in some sort of barrier. It was very painful and Amelia was screaming.
"This barrier will disconnect you from your stigmas. You cannot free yourself, Amelia." Scarlett said. "I didn't expect you to understand me! After all, only I know the sins I've committed. Even so, I need this project! I've left everything in my life for it! If I give up now all my efforts will be wasted! For this reason I can't stop now! Even if I will be considered a devil… with my own hands, I… I'm betting everything I have on this project! Come with me Amelia!"
Amelia didn't respond but instead began moving again and there was nothing in her eyes. Large spikes grew out of her back. "It's impossible! She should have lost synchrony with her stigmas!" Scarlett yelled. Amelia's skin crystalized and she began to morph into a Nova-type. The Maria clones began to awaken. There was a large explosion that was heard throughout the entire building.
Chiffon was finally able to bring Lily back to life with the help of the other Pandora. Lily was still unconscious on the ground though. Chiffon was leaning on a wall with her uniform off and a Pandora wrapping a bandage around where her arm used to be. "Any reason why it's not regenerating?" The Pandora asked.
"Lily has access to a special technology. It disallows the regeneration process by destroying the nerve endings that are used for regeneration." Chiffon replied. "I don't know why she has that technology. She rivals me in power, maybe even stronger than me." Then they heard the explosion.
The Pandora looked at Lily's body. "She got anything to do with that?"
Chiffon shook her head. "Not while she's like this. It's Amelia's doing."
"What do we do with her? She'll be against us when she wakes up."
"Are you okay with following my orders?" Chiffon asked.
"I have no problems with it."
"You are from the Japan Branch, right?" The Pandora nodded her head. "Take your Limiter and Lily and take her back to West Genetics. She is to be under strict house arrest in her room after she gets looked at by a doctor until this mess is over. Her stigmata are to be removed." Chiffon put her uniform back on. She looked at the Limiter. "You got that?"
"Y-yes ma'am!" Came a reply from him. Chirron stood up and walked over to Lily's body. She knelt down and took the jacket off of Lily. She could sense a living spirit inside the jacket for some reason. Chiffon tried to call out to it. You're Juliet, right? Chiffon asked. A voice responded.
You're correct. Why do you wish to speak with me?
I want your help. I also want to truly know who you and Lily are.
I know all about you. Juliet said. If you join with us then you can learn all you want. Wear the jacket. I'll support you till your death today.
Chiffon put the jacket over her missing right arm and it began to morph into a cloak that disguised the arm's absence. The cloak only covered Chiffon's right shoulder and went down to her waist. You know that you will die tonight, don't you. Juliet said.
I guess I will. I know I'm going to die but I still want to live. I'm truly selfish, aren't I? Chiffon shook her head.
So you'll join me in here? Juliet asked excitedly.
What exactly are you? What do you mean by 'in here'?
I guess you'll find out tonight.
Landing Pad
The Pandora did what she was told and brought Lily to the helipad. She was waiting patiently for a transport with her Limiter. Lily was still unconscious and laying on the ground. Her hands were cuffed behind her back. A carrier jet flew in and several Pandora and their Limiters got out to fight against the E-Pandora. The Pandora went into the jet and talked to the pilot. "Can you take me to West Genetics?" She asked. "I have orders to take this one back there from Chiffon Fairchild."
"It's over 8 hours away." The pilot responded. "Is it urgent?"
"This one is Lily Aoi. There's an arrest on sight order out for her. Chiffon told me to take her back there and keep her detained."
The pilot sighed. "Fine. Get in."
The Pandora brought Lily in with the help of her Limiter and secured themselves in seats. The jet took off shortly back to Japan.
Chiffon was fighting against Satellizer and Rana again. The Nova that Amelia turned into had taken control of them. A Type-S Nova and a Type-Unknown had appeared. Chiffon was just stabbed in the chest by Satellizer and thrown to the ground. Chiffon was clearly struggling without her right arm. Did my fight with Lily tire me out? It must've. Chiffon thought. I don't really want to keep fighting. If I do then I'll end up killing these two.
Please refrain from killing them. They are important to the future. Juliet said. We are connected through our minds. Imagine that you have a right arm. Chiffon did what she was told. Juliet had materialized a right arm under the cloak for her. Here. Use this.
Right. Thank you. Her claw materialized under it.
You can also use a Freezing when I'm with you.
A Freezing? Why is that an option?
You're supposed to reach out to them right? Apparently that's what it does too.
"Freezing!" Kazuya cried.
Or we can let him do it. After all, they want to be his Pandora. Chiffon stood still and continued to try to regenerate her lost arm while Kazuya did the deed. She lost her focus when she heard the two annoying voices come back to their bodies. Satellizer and Rana seemed to be arguing over who got to be Kazuya's Pandora. At least they're back now.
"President! What happened to your arm?!" They both suddenly cried upon seeing Chiffon.
"Did someone already defeat you?" Satellizer asked.
"Yeah, something like that. Lily and I had a falling out of sorts. She let me use her equipment though, so please thank her when you see her." She was talking about Juliet in the cloak.
"Where did she go anyway?" Rana asked, looking around. "Did you manage to take her down?"
"She was going crazy and out of control so I had to call in backup. She is being sent back to West Genetics right now. Not my best decision, now that we have a Nova problem."
"The Nova have appeared?!" they both cried.
"You were under their control. But you couldn't have known. And in these conditions I wouldn't like to ask your help now but in out current situation, we need all the help we can get."
When Chiffon finally went to fight against the Nova that Amelia had become, it was harder than she thought it would be. Nevertheless, Chiffon continued her fight to the very end. She performed an Illusion Turn and reappeared in the air in front of the head of the Nova. Chiffon activated her Nova Mode and her eyes changed to that of a Nova's and also Lily's. The Nova opened its mouth began to charge a beam attack in the opening. Without Chiffon thinking, her right arm shot forward and traced a large circle in the air, with a trail of light following it. When the circle was completed, it began to fill in with a void of darkness and the beam from the Nova fired. The beam sunk into only one side of the circle but never reached the other side.
The fist clenched and the circle shrunk then disappeared. The Pandora who were all bracing for the impact looked up in confusion. It was a total mystery to them as to why the attack just disappeared. We've maxed out our dimensional portal storage with that attack. We have to dispose of the energy very soon.
Can we redirect the attack back into the Nova? Chiffon asked.
Target sighted, ready to open exit portal. Turn to your 10 o'clock, that building over there. The arm stretched out toward the building she was talking about. Warn them all to get away. We're shooting the other unknown Nova.
Yeah. "Attention all Pandora attacking the two other Nova! Retreat from the Type-Unknown! I am preparing to fire a beam that will go through all buildings until it reaches the target! Get away from the Nova or take cover!" Chiffon turned in the direction of the Nova and put our her right arm again. This time she traced the circle in the opposite direction from last time and the ring began to fill in again.
Preparing to fire beam weapon. Firing beam weapon. This time, the energy beam shot out away from Chiffon and through the nearest buildings in the correct direction. The beam finally reached the Type-Unknown and hit it directly in the chest. After a few seconds, the beam went through the Nova and dissipated. All Pandora attacking that Nova began to run and take cover because they all knew that it would explode now that it was compromised. It exploded minutes later and the explosion destroyed the buildings up to Chiffon's location. Shit! She's firing again! We won't be able to absorb it this time!
I'm going to make my move then. We have to connect with her. Amelia. Can you hear us? Can you hear me?
Chiffon, I'm gonna cover you while you do it. Juliet said. The artificial arm on Chiffon dematerialized the claw and replaced it with Juliet's Desert Eagle. It then began firing rounds into Amelia.
Stop! It was Amelia's voice. Just stop!
We finally got her to say something. Juliet, discontinue firing. Amelia, please, I can understand your hate for humanity. But don't you think you could give it another chance?
I hate it! I hate it all! Why can't I have them back?! I want my friends back!
Chiffon began speaking directly to Juliet. What's the plan here?
You are to sacrifice yourself for everyone and absorb the coming explosion that she will cause. What happens next is up to you. But I can suggest that you give your consciousness to me and you can learn all you want with me. I can convert your consciousness and you can live another life again. Do you want that?
I believe that will be the best choice for everyone. We should finish this. She wants her friends back, she'll get them back.
We'll be giving her your body and you are giving me your mind. Your father believes that we cannot break free from fate but Lily is already doing that. Everyone is just because she is here.
Is she really that special?
She is. You will learn everything about her when you join with me.
Chiffon, please. Can you fix this? I don't know if I can. It was Amelia again.
You'll have to trust me. Unfortunately for everyone, my body will be yours soon. You may live on, when I can't.
That doesn't seem like a good deal to me! I shouldn't live! Your life has more worth than mine does!
Then Juliet spoke and could be heard by Amelia. This is how things have to be. You shouldn't prolong the inevitable. Even though my mission was to change fate. Don't worry, the two of you will meet again soon.
So come, Amelia. Take my body. Chiffon said.
If it is inevitable then I have no other choice but to do it. So yes. I will take your body, Chiffon.
Thank you. And I swear. I will make an effort to talk to everyone again.
In Chiffon's visit to Ticy, it was just a bit different from before. Ticy. A voice said in Ticy's room. She turned toward the direction of the voice and saw Chiffon standing before her. She was still wearing Lily's jacket in its previous form. "Chiffon!"
Hey. I'm sorry that I can't stay with you much longer.
"What do you mean? Please stay with me, us all until the end of time!"
I'm sorry I can't do that. But please remember one thing. You are the strongest Pandora out of everyone here.
Unfortunately Lily doesn't count because she isn't from here. Juliet interrupted. But the both of us believe in you.
"No! Don't leave me! I'm… I'm nothing without you! I… I can't be as strong as you, or as brilliant as you!"
You'll be fine. And I want you to give this back to Lily when she arrives. Lily's jacket came off of Chiffon's body and appeared in Ticy's arms, revealing Chiffon's missing arm. And I'm sorry to tell you this but the two of us fought. That's what caused this. She knew that what was to happen had to happen. And I don't want you to go after her for it. And this. I can give you this. Chiffon's body disappeared and left her hair ribbon that floated softly into Ticy's hand. Goodbye Ticy. You don't have to be sad. I will make my attempts to contact everyone again soon. And make sure that the jacket makes it back to Lily.
