Chapter 3
"Alright you're free to go Bridget-san I hope I don't have to see you again in the brig." said the posted detention officer.
Satella just nodded and left, as she was passing the park in the middle of the school she was confronted by a person who made her presence known. It was none other than
"So Satellizer el Bridget the rank breaker how has your three days been in the hole?" Said Ingrid Bernstein.
To that Satella only stood there quiet not uttering a single word.
"Fine be that way you do know who I am and why I'm here." Said Ingrid. Satella slightly nodded her head to this.
"I am the Guardian of Order protector of the rules of this institution and you have broken rank attacking an upperclassman. For this you will be punished. But I want a fair fight so I'll give you till tomorrow at noon to find yourself a limiter if not be prepared to fight alone."
And with that Ingrid left to the third year girls dorm.
Satella to this clenched her fists in frustration and gritted her teeth and left the area.
The park was then calm and then suddenly bushes moved around and behind a wall Kaho and she was scared shitless at what she saw and then a thought crossed her mind. "Oh no, I've got to warn Ryan about this." With a heavy and concerned heart she ran towards Ryan's dorm with determination in her eyes.
Line break
*knock* *knock*
"Coming just a minute," said Ryan in his cheery voice. Ryan had just gotten out of the shower after his nightly run. Reasoning that it was probably a guy asking if he had shampoo to share issei went to open the door in only a towel wrapped around his waist.
As he opened the door he said," Really dude do you seriously need shampoo…" Said Ryan only to meet a bleet red faced Kaho and a dark faced head hanging low Arthur.
"Oh hi guys how's it been," Ryan said oblivious to how he is dressed. "Ryan could you please put on some clothes I think Kaho may faint seeing you this way," said Arthur with a little malice.
Ryan then looked down and understood Kaho's plight with a cheeky grin knowing the girl had never seen a man in his dressed state he said," Wait a minute I'll get some clothes on." With that he closed the door and went to his drawer and put on a simple red T-shirt and black pajama pants with little sliver sparda clan symbols on it.
Opening the door he invited his guests in and he said cheerfully, "Welcome to casa del Ryan."
Kaho was a little surprised at how organized his room was while Arthur was surprised at the extensive collection of statues Ryan had. With that said everyone sat down on Ryan's round and Kaho explained the situation Satella was now in.
"So in short Satellizer-san needs a limiter to help her fight a Ingrid-Senpai?" Ryan asked inquisitively.
"Yes but Ryan I'll warn you again you have to stay away from her she's bad news," Arthur pleaded to Issei.
"Well unfortunately I can't just not help her remember I was the one that got her into this situation in the first place," Ryan seriously said.
"Kami-sama is there no way to get the message into your skull. It's simple you help her and you could end up dead by her hand or by her enemies hands!" Kaho exclaimed.
Issei was about to answer when a crash and boom was heard out of Issei's open window. Everyone then runs towards the window and looks down to see Satella at one end of the first year dorms and Ingrid a the other end.
"Oh well looky here we ended up next to the first year boys dorm you can still get a limiter," Ingrid then directed her attention towards the building," so any of you boys feeling lucky to have the chance at being the untouchable queen's limiter.
"I have no need for a limiter I can fight you alone," Satella said in an annoyed voice.
Ignoring her Ingrid continued," Come on boys as an added bonus she might be a virgin."
Just as an embarrassed Satella was about to speak Ryan then said," I'll do it but could ya give me a sec to change my clothes cause I'm in my pjs."
"Ask for something and so it will come alright kid you got 15 min to get down here," Ingrid answered.
Ryan ran towards a suitcase he had yet to open and inside was a strange skin tight suit that looked pretty durable { Think of the undersuits spartans use in halo)."Didn't think I'd have to use it this early on but what the heck I still need more data if it's going to be mass produced."
Ryan then took off his pjs and donned the suit but could not for the life of him reach the zipper and asked Arthur to help him. Once he was zipped up the zipper part of the suit disappeared and he put on a strange tacpad that melded with his suit. "Alright then see ha guys later."
With that Ryan jumped out his window but Mia calculated his landing and broke his legs { AN: He may have enhanced bones but it does little when you jump off a 6 story building and land the wrong way you will break your legs}.
Ryan then yelped, "Holy Jesus Christ my legs I broke them." Everyone donned a sweat drop at the genius' stupidity. With a little grunting Ryan's wounds healed and he was back on his feet and he tapped on his tacpad and said, "So you're the one screwing with Satellizer-San well then you've made a new enemy and I hate it when people hurt those I care about."
"Oh so you're on a first name bases well that's perfect. Tell you what I'll let you do the baptism and when you're finished we can have our fight," Ingrid scoffed.
"No, I can fight you on my own," Satella said with determination. She then looked to Issei for support and saw him mouth 'don't worry give me a little time.' Confused as to what he means she shook her head.
Ryan then put in his two cents by saying, "Really you come here threaten Satellizer-Senpai and expect a fight with her. Well I'll tell you that you're wrong cause you fucked with the wrong pandora and now you have to deal with me!" As Ryan finished shouting the the sound of a motor could be heard specifically a motorcycle motor. Confused everyone looked towards the noise and out of nowhere Ryan's Ninja came driving itself and stopped right next to him.
Ryan mounted the motorcycle and said, "I've been meaning to use this but haven't had the time. Time to see if project armorus was worth all the time I put into it."
Ryan's motor cycle then began transforming and attaching itself to his undersuit when finished Ryan became a little taller and was covered in this new armor.(AN: it looks like the ARS suit from vanquished but none of the parts move and instead of ARS on the chest ARMORUS is written. Also for anyone who asks about how a bike can turn into a full body suit then either anime logic or transformer logic. Additionally the suit's black and the writing white. ) Ddraig's voice was then heard coming out of the suit," Armorus system start up…. All systems show green ready to fight partner."
"You know it Ddraig."
"What in the hell is that," Ingrid said confused.
"Oh this 'pointing at himself' this is a prototype armorus suit," Ryan said with pride.
"Why build a suit when you have pandoras to fight," Ingrid questioned still confused.
"Simple the suit is not for pandora use its more for limiters so that the chances of survival go up for them though this suit has higher specs and there is the problem with battery life of the mass produced version being a good 10 min but I'm rambling so let's fight," Ryan contemplated
Ryan then charged at Ingrid and in his charge summoned Ryuuzetsu. Now in front of a surprised Ingrid due to his speed now rivaling an accel turn he flicked his thumb and pulled out his sword slicing vertically. Ingrid by the skin of her teeth back peddled and had her sleeping top sliced the sword barely cutting her chest leaving a shallow cut the quickly healed.
"Look I may not like fighting girls but if it comes down to it I will fight anyone in my way," Ryan said determined and relentlessly attacked Ingrid. But Ingrid now accustomed to Issei's speed was able to parry everyone of his attacks.
(Damnit this is why I hate speedy technique-types) Ryan thought between boosts. He increased his speed to about as fast as double accel and began to gain ground though he had to hit the suits limits.
(Damn how in the hell can a person with no high-end skills go this fast and able to gain ground against me. I didn't want to do this but I am not losing to a first year.)
Ingrid desperately thought and said, "pandora mode." She then gained increased speed, further enhanced bones, and further enhanced muscle strength as well as heightened reflexes. And made Ryan go completely on the defensive with her tonfa swords. She started to nick at his armor noticing that is was probably made of the same thing her weapon was made of.
(Oh shit I'm in deep now looks like I'll get to test that mode to.) Ryan thought and then used his suits trump card by yelling," OVERDRIVE!"
And Ddraig then yelled [(OVERDRIVE)] as a response to his plea.
His suits capabilities skyrocketed at the cost of a good amount of SP that was recovered through boosting and Ryan's speed was now comparable to a triple and a half accel turn. He also switched out Ryuzetsu for ascalon due to being more familiar with two were now on even footing only that sickening cracks and snapping of bones were heard and they didn't belong to Ingrid.
No, they belonged to Ryan even though his body had enhanced bones made up of stigmata Ryan's bone could not handle the insane amount of g-force or to some inertia involved with making sharp turns.
In short If this were a battle of attrition Ryan might as well just give up since his stamina was rapidly depleting due to boosting just to keep up with both powering his suit and healing his bones. He also couldn't use ascalon's one off move due to the risk of missing. Once they broke off and stood looking at each other Ryan could be seen panting, his suit scratched and dented all over and Ingrid only slightly panting with most of her clothes torn to shreds save her panties.
Just as they were about to clash again a voice stopped them, "Wait stop the fighting." Lul and behold it was none-other than the arrogant bitch Ganassa."Yes, before you continue I have something to say to the guardian of order."
Both combatants looked at each other and nodded Ingrid left pandora mode and Issei deactivated overdrive mode. Issei made a continue gesture with his hand and Ingrid put her full attention on Ganassa.
(You owe me one transfer student.) Ganassa thought and said, "Bernstein-sempai you remember in your past you set out on an expedition that involved 1st and 2nd years am I right."
"Yes and how did you know that?" Ingrid questioned.
"Simple really I was one of those first year girls who were ordered to retreated," Ganassa said seriously.
"What did you just say ordered to retreat?" Again questioned Ingrid.
Before Ganassa could answer Issei answered for her, "What she says is correct I've even got evidence to back it."
"What a second how do you have evidence," ingrid said desperately.
"Most people don't know it but whenever there's a pandora operation a drone at high orbit is in place recoding everything to find better strategies for defeating novas. Additionally they do it to monitor high ranking pandora," Ryan said with a stern face. Sometimes being on his grandfather's good side paid off this was one of those cases since his grandfather put a great deal of trust in his grandson by giving him access to some sensitive information. Though his grandfather never did give him access to the more higher super secret projects he was involved in. Well Ryan could never get angry at his grandfather for that since he had his own little cache of information he would only trust those he deemed worthy.
Ryan then took the place his tacpad was on (right arm and left arm has boosted gear on it)with a few taps a holographic screen appeared and Ryan showed the video. [Insert cannon 9th nova clash with Marin Maxwell telling everyone to retreat]. As the video ended Ingrid began having an internal struggle as to what she just saw.
That was when out of nowhere a person appeared which happened to be Ingrid's limiter Leo came to her side and said," Ingrid I've come just as you have ordered do you need me to help you?"
It was then Ingrid came to the realization that her best friend had followed their creed to the end and through this she made her decision and said, "No Leo I've seen the error of my ways and now have no reason to fight the irregular and the untouchable queen." With that said she began to leave.
Before she left she asked Ryan," You Irregular why did you fight instead of talking to me."
Ryan answered by saying," It's simple really I found my way to get my point across from many years of experience. It is actions speak louder than words. It's the reason why anyone who attacks those I care for will have to answer to me. Talking will always lead nowhere in the long run. It is only through what I do that people will listen and stop."
"It is a good creed to go by," Ingrid said as she left.
Ryan then adverted his attention to Satella and walked up to her removing his helmet and asked in a concerned tone ,"Are you okay did you receive any lasting wounds?"
Satella with a bright red face said,"No, I was lucky I only lost one of my stigmata." When she finished saying this Ryan's mind went into overdrive and he calmly said," Show me please." and to top it off he used his puppy dog eyes which work like a charm.
Now with a face redder than red {if possible} she nodded and turned around showing her back to Ryan. Ryan on the other hand was thinking of how to help her when an idea struck his mind ( I could give her one of mine I have more than enough in my body and like i need more with the amount of power i still can't access from what i can feel one of my stigmata has about a little more Soul Power than hers so her body should just think it's one of the one's she lost that is being replaced with a new one and since mine can adapt to any body it should be fine giving her it).
With his mind made up Ryan willed one of his stigmatas to float on his hand and said," Satellizer what I'm about to do please do not be alarmed and relax your body this will not hurt at all." before she could answer Ryan thrusted his hand on her back and concentrated his soul power and used [transfer] as collateral in case she didn't have enough SP to heal her wounds.
A crimson light erupted from Ryan's back and a yellow light emitted from Satella's back the lights seemed to dance with each as though they were dancing a waltz endlessly. They seemed to come together almost as though kissing making the light orange and then the light separated into two and one went into Ryan while the other went into Satella.
As the light died down Ryan and Satella could be seen panting heavily from what they just experienced.
"Ryan-san could you please tell me what just happened?" Satella said between pants.
"I've no clue but can we talk about this tomorrow please so that I can think this over and give you a valid answer Satella,"said Ryan pleading.
Satella agreed to Ryan's plea despite him addressing her with a pet name and left to her dorm room exhausted.
Ryan did the same but little did he know that the stunt he pulled off diverted the he was now in and made things more interesting for the dragon gods.
Ingrid looked up in shocked finally understanding that Marron sacrifice was to save others. Ingrid then felt two arms wrap around her as it was revealed to be Ryan.
Ingrid: She smiled cause upheld the ideals of being a Pandora to the very end.
Ryan: She didn't die in vain Ingrid she died as a proud Pandora doing her job.
Ingrid then started sobbing into Aiden's shirt as he hugged her. Once she was done Aiden handed her over to Leo.
Ryan: Make sure her wounds get treated and she gets some rest.
Leo: R-Right!
Ryan puts a hand on Ingrid's shoulder as she look towards him.
Ryan: Ingrid, the underclassmen aren't your enemies the nova are.
We have to work with each other instead against each other if we want to survive this. (Smiles gently) And i promise to Marron and you we will stop the Nova and avenge all who have fallen.
Ingrid couldn't help but blush at Aiden's smile
she returned his smile and nods as Leo took her to the infirmary.
Ryan then looks at Ganessa and pats her shoulder.
Ryan: Thanks for clearing that up for her Ganessa.
Ganessa: (blushing, scoffs) It's not like i told her for you she needed to hear at one point or another and this seemed like a good point as any baka!
Ryan passes by Arthur who went catch up with Ganessa but not before saying to Ryan "She likes you." Like a little brother messing with older sister. He then passes Kaho and give her a comforting smile that made her blush.
Ryan: See i told you i would be alright.
She just smiles and nods to him as he continues on. But then he notices Satellizer and Shura looking at before blushing and turning away. He walks over to both of them to talk to her.
Ryan: We make a great team we should do it more often. Well goodnight Satellizer and Shura.
Ryan walks away as Satellizer and Shura watches his retreating form and silently say to herself.
Satellizer and Shura: Goodnight Aiden.
While he was walking he pulled out the Perfect Amulet he had before from the girl Keiko he mentioned. He grips his hand gently but tightly as he said one thing.
Sister.
