Volume 3

*RING* *RING* *RING*

"Hello, you've reached Aoi Kazuha's cell phone. Please leave me a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can."

*BEEP*

"WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU, YOU FUCKING CUNT?! THE CONCERT'S ABOUT TO START IN FIVE MINUTES AND YOU'RE STILL NOT HERE! HURRY UP!" Satellite screamed into his phone as he stood inside Santoshi Arena, right behind the doors that led to the stage where Social Psycho would be performing.


"IF YOU KILL THE BLONDE GIRL, I'LL KILL YOU, MOTHERFUCKER!"

"YOU THINK I WON'T DO IT?!"

Kaoru glared at the thug who held Arturia hostage. Then his face turned from anger to fear, and he submitted, dropping his Volt Weapons to the ground and holding his hands in a—

*BANG*

"AAAAHHHHHHH!" Kaoru suddenly fell to the ground, holding his leg in pain, which had a bullet hole in it. Looking up, he saw the lead thug standing over her…smiling…with smoke coming out of his gun in his hand…and blood running down his nose. "Why the fuck are you crying?" teased the lead thug. "I thought Pandora couldn't die from little injuries."

*BANG*

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The leader shot Kaoru in the other leg.

"HIIRAGI!" cried Arturia.

"THAT'S ENOUGH~de arimasu!" cried Ra's.

"SHUT UP! STAY BACK!" The lead thug pointed his gun at the Tibetan boy. "OR YOU'RE NEXT!"

"STOP IT!"

The teens and thugs turned to Kazuha, who was now getting angry.

"What'd you fucking say?" the thug leader asked as he pointed his gun to the blue-haired girl.

"…I…SAID…STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

*KERCHINK*

All of a sudden, a Freezing Field was cast, affecting the entire area and thus freezing the punks in their tracks.

Ra's, Kaoru, and Arturia's eyes widened at Kazuha's immense power being unleashed.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" thought the thug that held Arturia hostage. "I CAN'T MOVE!"

"What IS this?!" Ra's grabbed held the back of his neck. "Are the tears of Kunlun...responding to this girl?"

"...I'LL...NEVER...FORGIVE YOU...FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE...TO MY FRIENDS..." Kazuha yelled in a heart attack-like fashion. "...I'LL...I'LL...I'LL..." But just then, she began getting weaker and her Freezing power diminished.

*BANG*

Seeing this opportunity, the hostage-holding thug shot Kazuha in the chest and the blue-haired Limiter girl fell to the ground.

"KAZU—MMRPH!"

"SHUT UP, BITCH!" The hostage-holding thug threatened as he completely covered up Arturia's mouth with his hand. "OR YOU'RE N—"

*BITE*

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

But Arturia bit the thug's top finger and broke free as the thug fell to his knees and held his bitten hand.

"YOU BITCH!" The lead thug pointed his gun at Arturia to—

*BAM*

Ra's suddenly jumped in front of the leader and struck him in the face with his palm, emitting a powerful shockwave that shook the entire area.

"OOF!"

The lead thug took a few steps back after being hit—his face now covered in blood—and then fell onto the ground, face first. Ra' looked at the unconscious—if not DEAD—thug. Then he turned to the other three thugs and muttered, "Anybody else~de arimasu?"

The three punks looked at each other for a few seconds and finally fled the scene, leaving Ra's to take a breath of relief.

"KAZUHA!"

Turning back, Ra's saw Kaoru lying on the ground holding his legs, while Arturia was kneeling next to the injured Kazuha. "Arturia! Get Kazuha to the hospital~de arimasu!" she yelled as she came over to the Japanese Pandora's side. "I'll help Hiiragi-san~de arimasu!"

"Right! I'll contact West Genetics at once!" cried Atruria. She reached into her pocket for her phone, only to find it broken (most likely because of the thug that pointed a gun at her).

"West Genetics...?" Ra's whispered to himself. "Isn't that the school I'm supposed to go to?"

Arturia reached into Kazuha's pocket and pulled out her phone to use it. As she turned it on, she noticed a bunch of voicemails. All coming from...

"Kazuha's Limiter...?"


(Seven Hours Later; Santoshi Arena)

"Old does not mean dead, new does not mean best," sang the lead singer of Social Psycho. "No hard feelings, I'm tired of being right about everything I've said."

Many of the concert attendees screamed in excitement and banged their heads to the music.

Among the entire audience, within one of the support towers, sat Satellite L. Bridget, wearing his Social Psycho mask and trying to keep his distance (most likely to avoid being touched). Unlike the rest of the audience, Satellite just sat within the support tower staring at the band in loneliness and boredom; this was due to fact that his Limiter STILL hadn't shown up.

Sighing, the Pandora punk raised his mask a bit so that his mouth was showing. Reaching into his cigarette box within his pants pocket, he pulled out a cigarette to put in his mouth. He then pulled out his lighter in the pocket on the—

"HEY! HEY, YOU WITH THE PIG MASK!"

Satellite looked down and saw a backstage security guard calling up to him.

"THIS IS A NO SMOKING BUILDING!" called the guard. "TAKE IT OUTSIDE!"

After climbing down from the support tower, Satellite left the concert and went outside. He once again reached into his—

*BUZZ*

Satellite's phone suddenly vibrated. He pulled it out and saw a bunch of voicemails left on the phone. All of which came from...

"Kazuha! About bloody time! She better have a good goddamn reason for being late. And why she left too many fucking messages!"

Pushing a button on his phone, he began listening to his voicemails:

"Hello? This is Arturia Crypton. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but Kazuha's in the hospital at West Genetics. You need to get over here. Now!"

"Hello? This is an emergency! Get over to the hospital! NOW!"

"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME! I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO THE LOUD MUSIC AND CAN'T HEAR YOUR MESSAGES, BUT KAZUHA'S LIFE IS IN DANGER!"

Dropping his cigarette from within his mouth, Satellite fled Santoshi arena.


(West Genetics; Recovery Room)

Ra's sat on one of the waiting chairs, waiting to hear of Kazuha's safety. Memories began to play in his mind of his meeting with his patriarch...


(Flashback)

"Remember, Ra's...when the time comes, the 'Tears of Kunlun' will awaken within your body...an on that day, you will finally find your soulmate."

"My...My soulmate~de arimasu…?"

"That's right, Ra's. Sadly, no women within our village resonate with your 'Tears of Kunlun'; however, there IS a place where many children...most of which do not come from our village...who are ALSO born with the 'Tears of Kunlun', reside. It is called 'Genetics'. When the time comes, it is THERE where you shall find your soulmate. That woman will not only activate your 'Tears of Kunlun' but will also use her virtuous will to paralyze the vicious monsters that have attacked our people."

(End of Flashback)


"Mother, Lunar, Patriarch, I have done it~de arimasu," Ra's thought with a smile. "I have found my—"

*KICK* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *TAP*

"Huh? Ra's snapped back to reality as he heard footsteps growing louder. Turning his head left, he saw a young man turning the corner and panting like crazy; this man not only had on a weird iron pig mask, but he wore clothing similar to Kazuha, Arturia, and Kaoru. Unlike them, however, Ra's did not like this particular one. "Who are YOU?" the Tibetan boy demanded.

"...?! Where's Kazuha?!" Satellite demanded as he yanked off his mask.

"What do you want with her~de arimasu?" Ra's asked in a defensive voice. "She will be okay, but you will NOT lay a finger on her as long as I live~de arimasu!" He got into a fighting position.

"?...What are you bloody talking about?" the Pandora punk asked furiously. "Who ARE you?!"

"...I am Ra's Linchen," said the Tibetan boy, "the soulmate and protector of Aoi Kazuha."

"Soulmate?! Protector?! You mean you're a STUDENT here?"

"A student? No, but I WILL be starting tomorrow~de arimasu. Now I'll ask again: what do you want with Kazuha-san?"

Satellite started giving off a murderous vibe as he did not like the way this kid was talking about his Limiter. "KAZUHA HAPPENS TO BE MY—"

"SATELLITE!" Arturia cried as he jumps between the two boys. "W-What a surprise seeing YOU here! W-What ARE you doing here?"

"Ugh! Kazuha's my Limiter! And somebody called my phone and told me she was in the hospital

"Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me! I don't know what she did to piss you off, but PLEASE forgive her!" The blonde Limiter turned to Ra's and began forcefully pushing him away. "Come on, Ra's, let's leave the nice psychopath to see his Limiter!"

"Psychopath? Limiter?" Ra's asked.

"SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Arturia held a finger in front of Ra's' mouth to slience him.

Satellite looked on in confusion until Ra's and Arturia turned into another room, and then he was alone in the hallway.

*SLIDE*

Dr. Schmitz and another doctor suddenly came out of the operating room.

"Doctor!" Satellite cried.

"Oh, Satellite," said Dr. Schmitz. "What brings YOU here this late at night?"

"I'm here because I heard Kazuha was hospitalized!"

"Hmm? What are you? Her partner?" asked Dr. Schmitz. "...It's okay. Go on in if you wanna see her. She'll be alright. But...if I come back and you in her bed with your cock outside of your fly, I'll slice it off..."

As the doctors walked away, Satellite turned around to the hospital room. He stepped into the room where he was greeted by an unconscious Kazuha Aoi. Shocked and horrified, Satellite froze in his feet, dropping his Social Psycho mask in the process.


"Wait, you're a transfer student?" Kaoru asked Ra's; he had recently recovered and, along with Arturia, had just learned about Ra's' origins.

"Yes," said Ra's. "I was sent here by the patriarch of my village to find my soulmate~de arimasu."

"Your soulmate?"

"That is the destiny for every man who holds the 'Tears of Kunlun'. Here, I'll show you~de arimasu." Showing his back to Kaoru and Arturia, Ra's removed his shirt to show off his "Tears of Kunlun".

"Wait a minute!" gasped Arturia. "Those are Stigmata!"

"And there are SIX of them!" gasped Kaoru. "I guess that explains how strong you are. So, you happen to be a Pandora?"

"Pandora?" Ra's asked as he put his shirt back on.

Kaoru removed his own shirt to show off his own Stigmata to Ra's.

"WOW!" gasped the Tibetan boy. "Patriarch wasn't kidding about there being a school where children also bare 'Tears of Kunlun'~de arimasu."

"And by 'soulmate', do you mean Limiter?" asked Arturia. "Then I hope you find the perfect Limiter!"

"I already HAVE~de arimasu. And her name is Aoi Kazuha."

"Kazuha? Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but she already taken."

"By whom?" asked Ra's.

"Yeah, by who?" asked Kaoru.

"Well, you already met him in the hallway. His name is Satellite L. Bridget."


Meanwhile, Dr. Schmitz was in the teacher's lounge researching the computer. "Damn..."

"Hey, Edgar, what'cha lookin' up?" Young asked as he entered the room.

"Earlier this evening, Kazuha and some other students were on their way to a Social Psycho concert when they were attacked by some thugs, and Kazuha managed to freeze them all with a Freezing. Take a look..."

Young looked at the computer and saw Kazuha Aoi's data analysis.

"I never knew Kazuya's kid sister...could be able to cast Freezings without a Baptism and/or Ereinbar Set," said Dr. Schmitz. "A fragment of Stigmata is implanted into a Pandora's body, and over a fixed period of time, the body tissue begins to mature. In turn, this allows Pandora to produce their Volt Weapons. When the Stigmata has matured for a year or more, they are implanted into the Limiters. The Limiter's sensory organs undergo profound change, thus awakening their Freezing ability; however, they can't do it by themselves because they are unable to independently utilize the power of the Stigmata within their bodies. For this purpose, we'll use an Ereinbar Set as an example: similar to the Stigmata, in order to use it, the individual's need to unify their five senses. Freezing can restrict up to 90% of a person's mobility that comes in contact with it, but in the case of an initial activation, an object's mobility could be restricted between 30%-60%. Of course, these values vary with respect to the person who is using the Freezing ability."

"The mechanics of Freezing is common knowledge around here. That said, how does this relate to a Limiter being able to use Freezing without Baptisms?"

"You know of Kazuya's abilities, right? Usually, an average Pandora's body is only able to hold two to four Stigmata. If they held six, they would become elite. Kazuya's body had the capacity to hold TWENTY Stigmata, which makes him the best of the best."

"...But what's that got to do with Kazuha?"

"If Kazuya's a Pandora Specialist, then that makes his sister...a LIMITER Specialist; Kazuha has a 'Stigma Body', which allows her synchro rate to be greater than usual."

"But Kazuha's a FEmale! Isn't being able to nurture Stigmata a requirement?!"

"Precisely. Approximately 30% of her body frame is covered with Stigmata. Strictly speaking, her Stigma Body is more perfect than Kazuya's. Even as we speak, there are more Stigmata being made in her body."

"Is such a body possible...?

"It's either a miracle...or a muation. Well, in any case with this, we've unraveled the reason why she's able to use Freezing without the need to receive Stigmata from other Pandora...speaking of Pandora, did you know she's got herself a partner?"

"Really? Who?" Young asked before sipping coffee from his cup."

"...The Untouchable King: Satellite L. Bridget..."

*SPIT*


Satellite slowly stepped forward until he was right next to the peacefully sleeping Kazuha. "Thank god she's alright." The violent Pandora punk gave a small smile to see his Limiter was safe.
