(Tibet/Nagarzê/Sambing Gompa)
"May the goddess Kunlun be with you and protect you on your journey. We hope that you will encounter 'the one' who shall guide you: your fated partner…o Ra's Linchen!"
"Yes, Grand Elder…"
(West Genetics)
"The Nova are extra-dimensional entities," said Young in class. "As you know, when they materialize from that other dimension, all living things within a certain field are forcibly restrained. In other words, a Freezing Field results. The job of a Limiter is to neutralize the Nova's Freezing and create a space in which the Pandora can operate."
Kazuha merely sat at her desk, but instead of listening to her instructor, it was obvious she was thinking about something else…
Kaoru and Arturia were eyeing her in confusion.
"…You don't know?!" Kaoru asked Kazuha after class. "What do you mean you don't know how to cast Freezing Fields without a Baptism?"
"I-I just don't know how it happened," said Kazuha. She looked at her hand. "I guess I was desperate in protecting Satellite-senpai."
"You were 'desperate', huh? And…what did he say to you after the match?"
"Hmm? Uh, nothing, he just looked at me then walked away—"
"AND HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY 'THANKS'?
"You see now?" asked Arturia. "That should be enough to help you understand that he's nothin' but trouble, that's how he's always been. I mean, I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but when he was only nine years old, he—"
But just then, she and Kaoru noticed the blue-haired Limiter girl looking at something from right behind them.
"…is behind us, isn't he?" concluded Arturia. She and Kaoru turned around and saw that Satellite, who had another lit cigarette in his mouth, was indeed standing right behind them.
"EEK!" shrieked the Japanese Pandora boy. "S-Satellite-senpai! W-W-What a surprise! I was just talking a-a-a-about you and your—"
"Kazuha…" the Pandora punk said right after taking his cigarette out of his mouth and blowing out smoke.
"Y-Yes, Senpai?!" asked Kazuha.
"I need to talk with you." Satellite put his cigarette back in his mouth, then took Kazuha's hand and began dragging her off.
"Oh no!" thought Hiiragi frantically.
"Please have mercy on her, Senpai!" thought Arturia frantically.
Satellite took Kazuha up to the rooftop.
"So…what's up?" asked the blue-haired Limiter.
Satellite didn't say anything; he just spat his cigarette onto the ground and smooshed it with his foot. Then he took Kazuha's hand, more gently this time, and slowly put it on his right cheek, getting a confused reaction from the Limiter girl. "I still don't get it. How the hell does she do it?" the timid Pandora punk thought. "Whenever she touches me…it doesn't feel so bad." He then began moving Kazuha's hand down to his chest…and eventually right down to his—
"SENPAI?!" Kazuha moved her hand away from Satellite's grip, staring at him in embarrassment.
"How do you do it?" asked the Untouchable King.
"Do WHAT?" asked the blue-haired girl.
"How the fuck do you cast those Freezing Fields?"
"Freezing Fields?"
"Without an Ereinbar Set?"
"…I…I don't know…I guess maybe when someone I care about is getting hurt…or when someone is about to attack me."
Satellite widened his eyes in shock, and then looked away from her with red cheeks. He also began rubbing his tattooed arm. "Then…" The Pandora punk took a deep breath. "…I…I…I…I would like you become to my Limiter!" Satellite finally said quickly while putting a hand behind his head. "B-But I don't want a Baptism, okay?"
"Of course!" said Kazuha in delight.
Later that day, Satellite and his brand-new Limiter sat at a lunch table with a ton of cheeseburgers in front of them both. "Would you like some?" asked Satellite.
"Me?" asked Kazuha. "Sure."
The two took a cheeseburger off the tray and began eating.
"So," Kazuha asked after swallowing a bite, "why did you buy so many?"
"Huh?" Satellite responded with his mouth full. "Oh, they're my favorite food to eat. I bought a lot so we could share."
Kazuha became a little grossed-out by Satellite's "manners". "Um, Senpai, do you think you could try eating WITHOUT your mouth full?"
"Hmm? Oh…" Satellite swallowed his food and began licking his messy fingers, freaking Kazuha out a bit more. "…sorry," he said. "Did you—*BURP*" Satellite then burped right onto Kazuha's face…and it was official: Kazuha's face began turning green and a cruciform popping vein appeared above her left eye.
"—say something?" Satellite finished.
"I…take it you don't have any manners, do you?" asked Kazuha.
"Manners? Why do you ask?" asked Satellite.
Kazuha pointed to her left at the millions of students who were staring at them in disgust and large sweat drops.
"What the bloody hell are YOU wankers lookin' at?" asked Satellite rudely.
The students quickly looked away and began ignoring him.
"Guess not!" thought the irritated Limiter girl.
"So anyways," asked Satellite, "have you heard of Social Psycho?"
"Social Psycho? No."
"Oh, never mind."
"What? What is it?"
"…they're my favorite rock band and they're playing tonight at Shintoshi Arena…and I was wondering—"
"I'd LOVE to," said Kazuha brightly.
"R-Really?! Great! I'll pick you up and—"
"Uh, no thanks! I'll just meet you there!"
"Oh, okay." Satellite then used his left hand to reach into his pants to fix his wedgied penis. Then he pulled it out and held out the exact same hand to Kazuha. "See you there."
Creeped out even more, Kazuha just shook his wrist. "Yeah. You too," she said with a nervous smile.
Later that afternoon, Kazuha sat inside a megaplex train heading over to the city; she was wearing a black t-shirt with a silver eagle on the front, a blue-jeaned skirt, and brown boots (possibly to prepare for the concert). "Maybe this was a bad idea," she thought as she reflected on Satellite's behavior. "Or maybe he's just doing that because of his "Untouchable King" reputation."
Meanwhile, Satellite was in his dorm room. After getting dressed, he grabbed his Social Psycho mask (which resembled the late Paul Grey's Pig mask) and headed out the door for the concert.
(Japan/West Genetics/Shintoshi)
"WOW! The city is so huge! I never expected a city adjacent to Genetics would have so many people!" Kazuha thought with stars in her eyes. "Now, first things first: I wonder what Social Psycho sounds like?" She headed into a music store that played musical demos for free. She put on a set of headphones and played a Social Psycho song…
(One Social Psycho Song Later)
Kazuha slowly took off the headphones that blasted extremely loud Social Psycho music into her skull; her head was from the music she had just heard as she made a freaked-out face. Leaving the store, she headed for—
"Hey, babe!"
An arm was tossed around the back of Kazuha's neck. Turning around, she saw three older men right behind her. "You new here?" asked the leader, who had his arm around Kazuha. "How 'bout my friends and I take you somewhere you'll enjoy."
"No thanks," Kazuha said as she gently pushed the man back. "I'm off to a concert and—"
"In that case," the leader said as he began pushing Kazuha down an alley, "let me show you a short cut."
"No thanks," said Kazuha again, this time more forcefully and she even pushed the leader back more forcefully as well. "I'm fine, thank you."
She began to walk away, but the leader blocked her path with his arm. "Look, sweetheart, we're trying to be nice, but you're making it—"
"GO AWAY, YOU THUG!" shouted Kazuha. "I'm not in the—"
*BAM*
The leader punched Kazuha in stomach, sending the girl onto her knees. "WHO YOUR CALLING 'THUG'?"
The thug leader's two colleagues picked Kazuha up, trapping her in a headlock and tying her hands behind her back. "STOP!" cried Kazuha. "LET ME—MRPH!"
One of the thugs tied up her mouth with a bandana to keep her quiet.
*STRIKE*
"Shut up, bitch!" the leader roared as he struck Kazuha's face. "Hold still!" He threw Kazuha to the ground and spread her legs open, revealing white panties under her skirt. The leader unzipped his fly and pulled out his penis. "Now be a good girl and give me that sweet pussy to fuck!" the leader said sadistically as he moved the lower part of Kazuha's panties and exposed her vagina. "Or don't. I'll just BANG it by force!"
Terrified, Kazuha cried and shook her body to try and resist, but the thug was stronger and placed his waist right in between her legs, with his penis—
"HALT!" cried the voice of a young man.
The thugs and Kazuha saw a boy with waist-length blue hair at the end of the alleyway, glaring at the thugs in disgust; the boy was wearing a torn blue bodysuit and a Tibetan-style backpack, while also wearing blue gloves with red lines, also slightly torn, and black boots with red strings on them, along with a blue headband around his forehead. "Harming an innocent little boy…IN THE NAME OF THE GODDESS KUNLUN, I ORDER YOU TO RELEASE HIM AT ONCE~de arimasu!" shouted the blue-haired boy.
The thug leader got up, zipped up his fly, got up into the boy's face, pointed a flicked open pocketknife at his face, and snarl, "Why don't ya make like a tree and LEAVE before you get FUCKED—"
*BAM*
The boy hit the thug leader in the face with his elbow, knocking him to the ground.
"BOSS!" cried one of the other thugs. "You son-of a-bitch!" he screamed at the boy. He threw a fist at his face, but the boy jumped out of the way and…
*SHOVE*
…pushed the thug into the other thug and up against the wall.
*BAM*
The boy then kicked the front thug in the gut; the two thugs fell to the ground in total pain. "Now BE GONE!" ordered the boy. "Or Kunlun's wrath will continue to a more PUNISHING extent~de arimasu!"
Enraged, the three thugs ran off, with the leader growling, "You're playing with fire, kid! And know what'll eventually happen, right?"
As soon as the thugs were gone, the boy turned to Kazuha, who was struggling to get up. The boy rushed to Kazuha's side and untied her hands. "Are you alright, good sir?" he asked the Limiter girl.
"Yeah," Kazuha said after taking the bandana off her mouth, "thanks."
But as the boy helped Kazuha up, his eyes widened at her appearance. "You…You're a woman!" the boy gasped in shock.
"A woman?" Kazuha repeated in confusion. "Yeah. Why?"
The boy became astonished by Kazuha's appearance, so astonished that he began looking at her back in amazement, while Kazuha stared at the boy with confusion. The boy looked down at the Kazuha's leg and then began lifting up her skirt, glimpsing her panties. He moved the lower part of Kazuha's panties—
"SHAME ON YOU!" Kazuha shouted in embarrassment as she pushed her skirt down to hide her modesty.
Standing up, the boy's shocked face turned to joy, and he began laughing as he embraced Kazuha, pressing her face against his naturally curved chest. "AT LONG LAST," the boy cried in joy, "I HAVE FINALLY FOUND AN ACTUAL WOMAN~de arimasu!"
"…'An actual…woman'?! You mean you've never seen one before?" thought the confused Limiter girl.
