Hello again, everybody! And welcome back to "Freezing".

Before we begin our next chapter, I'd like to address some...personal details: Around February 2019, there was some movement that surfaced called #KickVic. #KickVic was created on Twitter by numerous women with allegations of being sexually harassed by voice actor Vic Mignogna. This led to Mignogna being terminated by Funimation.

Mignogna, however, denied these allegations and sued Funimation for defamation and interference in existing contracts.

Currently, Funimation has filed an anti-SLAPP motion for Mignogna to dismiss his lawsuit, and there will be a hearing on September 6, 2019, to consider the defendants' anti-SLAPP motions. (Look up Vic Mignogna on Wikipedia for more information.)

Why am I addressing this? Because, as many of you faithful readers know, Mignogna is the English voice actor for Clifford Fairchild in "Freezing" and (Outer) Mako Akashiya for "R+V".

Before any of you say, "What?! You didn't know?!" NO! I swear, I didn't know ANYTHING about this until around June (I think).

So, where do we go from here? Well, Mignogna is probably trying to fix his career. So, for the time being, I will still have Mignogna as Clifford and Mako since he's still an active voice actor; however, I don't think I'll have him in any OTHER future project that I work on; but if I DO, he will no longer be able to be in the same project as Monica Rial and Jamie Marchi, two other voice actors who supported #KickVic.

If you have ANY information on Mignogna's current direction, PLEASE let me know as soon as you can.

But enough of that, let's get ready for Volume 5!

Enjoy


Volume 5

(Yokohama Special Operations Command Room)

"Chevalier, all four platoons have rendezvoused at Yokohama Beach!"

"East Genetics' 2nd platoon currently standing by!"

"Nova S, target 1, is heading towards the center of the beach!"

"Core exposed!"

"3rd platoon's striker!"

"Target 3 has mobilized!"

"Target 4 also heading towards the beach!

"6th and 7th platoon's decoys are all disables!"

"Unbelievable!" thought Regional Operations Commander Kouichirou Sasagami. "How could there be FOUR Nova?! Within a single area?!"


(The 10th Nova Clash; Yokohama Beach)

Four Nova flew around a factory at Yokohama Beach.

Within the factory, multiple Pandora warriors were hiding, waiting for their opportunity to strike one of them.

"Alright, everybody in position?" asked East Genetics fourth-year Michael Marius, the platoon's assigned all-rounder. "Alright, we strike in ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. DECOYS, CREATE AN OPENING!"


Okay, before we continue, here's a quick summary of the Pandora platoon positions:

Decoys: Guides who disrupt the Nova's attacks to create an opening.

Striker: Destroys the Nova's armor in order to directly expose the core.

Finisher: Delivers the decisive blow to the Nova's exposed core.


The Decoys leapt at the Nova. Sensing their presences, the Nova used it tentacles to attack the Pandora.

*SWISH*

The Decoys vanished to avoid the attack.

"FREEZING FIELD!"

*KERCHINK*

The Limiters trapped the Nova in their Freezing Field.

"Good job, ladies!" yelled Michael. "Strikers, GO!"

The Strikers leapt at the Nova, attacking the chest.

*CRACK*

"WE GOT IT!"

"IT'S OPEN!"

"Alright, Finishers! TAKE IT DOWN!"

"QUADRUPLE ACCEL!" A Pandora with green hair, tied up on the back of his head creating two flat pony tail, leapt at the Nova in blazing fast speed to deliver the final blow. "YOU'RE—"

*STRIKE*

"GAAAHHHHHH!"

Much to his shock, the green-haired Pandora was quickly knocked back to the ground.

"CARTER-SENPAI!" cried his Limiter.

"Uhn, how the hell did this fucker match my Quadruple Accel?" East Genetics third-year Carter Lockheart, 8th platoon's assigned finisher, asked himself. "This is NO ordinary Type-S!"

"Decoys," cried Michael, "strike a—WHAT THE FUCK?!"

*ZAP*

The Type-S suddenly fired a particle beam at the platoon hitting all Pandora and Limiters within it's firing range.

*BOOM*

A huge explosion engulfed the entire battleground. As the dust settled, Carter emerged from under the rubble, with a loud shriek ringing in his ears. As the ringing died down, Carter could hear a bunch of crying and wailing; he looked around and saw a bunch of Pandora either gravely wounded or dead.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"MY EYES! I CAN'T SEE!"

"MEDIC! SOMEBODY GET THE GODDAMN MEDIC! NOW!"

Carter looked up at the triumphant Nova. "Aw, man...this Nova is WAY too strong. And to think...16 hours ago..."

Sorry this chapter was short, I plan on integrating the second-half into the next chapter.

Also, Kouichirou Sasagami retains his original gender; therefore, he is owned by Dall-Young Kim, NOT me.
