Early the next morning, the sun rose on a blood-ridden battlefield; bodies were everywhere, both of Pandora and Limiters; most who had survived consoled their (presumably) deceased partners in their arms; the Nova had also disappeared.
"CARTER-SENPAI!" Kimoko looked around the battlefield. "CARTER-SENPAI!" Tears welled as she could not find her partner...ANYWHERE; distraught, Kimiko collapsed onto her knees, trying not to fear the worst for—
"Get up, Minase Kimiko!" ordered Alice Browning from behind. "Our orders are to return to East Genetics immediately and rebaptize with someone who lost their partner!"
"'R-REBAPTIZE'?!" Kimiko screamed in Alice's face. "Carter-senpai was one-of-a-kind to me, Alice-senpai! I'll NEVER find—"
*SLAP*
Alice angrily slapped Kimiko's face. "YOU'RE THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO LOST THEIR PARTNER?!"
Terrified, Kimiko looked around the battlefield at the Pandora and Limiters crying over their partners' bodies. But she couldn't take it anymore and began breaking down in tears.
"Kimiko, I lost my partner Michael, just like you" Alice explained as she knelt down in front of Kimiko, "so I know EXACTLY how you feel."
"THEN WHY DO YOU ACT LIKE HE MEANS NOTHING TO YOU?! HOW COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKE 'BAPTIZE WITH ANOTHER PANDORA'?!"
"IT'S OUR DUTY! I LOVED MICHAEL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! AND LOSING HIM...IS NO DIFFERENT THAN YOUR LOST! AND WHY DID YOU VOLUNTEER TO BE A LIMITER IN THE FIRST PLACE?! TO DEFEAT THE NOVA! TO PROTECT MANKIND! AND IF WE CAN'T DO THAT...THEN MICHAEL'S DEATH...AND CARTER'S...WILL BE FOR NOTHING!"

"What's the position of Target 24 after it sank into the ocean...?!" asked Sasagami.
"It's still undetected as of now. Our radar is continuously scanning the area!"
"If this keeps up, then we might reach the Nova's maximum residual time! The Nova will self-detonate and deal massive physical damage to the surrounding area!"
"WE ALREADY KNOW HAT!" yelled Sasagami. "That's WHY we need to find it before it happens and destroy it's core!"
"But it's already been more that 5 hours and 37 minutes. That was the longest residual time recorded in the '4 Years' War' from 2012 to 2015, recommend changing this to 'the 5 Hours and 37 Minutes' War'.
"Hmm...and there isn't any great physical yet," continued Sasagami, "huh...in the worst case scenario...if we can keep the Nova deep in the ocean when it explodes, we will minimize the damage it causes...EITHER WAY, WE NEED TO SCAN ALL OF THE WATERS OF JAPAN FOR THE NOVAS! MAINTAIN CODE 1 ALERT! ALL COMBAT UNITS ON STANDBY! REDEPLOY SURVIVORS FROM OTHER UNITS TO BE MOBILIZED AGAIN!"

"Hey, dude, did you hear? Some shit's going down at East Genetics; apparently there are four Type-S Nova! In ONE area!"
"Yeah, dude! I heard even the Japanese Chevalier couldn't handle them; they had to mobilize personnel from East Genetics, and even some fourth-year from West.
"Apparently, two of them have already been taken out, but the OTHER two escaped, and you will NOT believe their body counts..."
"Whoa! Thank god we're only second-years, I can't imagine going up against four fucking Nova at once!"
It was late at night and Kazuha was having burgers with Satellite in the cafeteria, but Kazuha couldn't resist overhearing the conversation of the petrified second-years.
*SLAM*
The Pandora punk got up and stormed off.
"Senpai?!" Kazuha exclaimed as she allowed after her partner. "Senpai, what wrong? Hey! Lite-senpai! Don't just ignore me! WHAT'S THE HELL'S YOUR—"
"NOTHING!" Satellite finally screamed as he stopped in his tracks. "It's nothing," he said in a more calm tone to cool his concerned Limiter down. "It's just that I'm bloody bored of sitting around and doing nothing!"
"Oh, I get it." Kazuha gave a small smile. "Senpai must be annoyed because we're a state of emergency, but CAN'T do anything about it," she thought. "Don't worry, Lite-senpai," she said. "The least we can do is be prepared so—"
"Y-You don't think I know that?!" asked the Untouchable King. "It's just that overheard some guys chatting, and I'm starting to get nervous...what about YOU? Y-You aren't freaking out, are ya? I mean, once those fuckers strike, you need to be ready, right?"
"...Of course I will," Kazuha said with a smile. "I mean...I became a Limiter to follow in in my older brother's footsteps of protecting people. I couldn't save big brother, so THAT'S why I have the power and responsibility of a Limiter...especially YOURS, Satellite L. Bridget!"
In response, the Pandora punk's cheek began turning run. "I-I-In THAT case...d-do you think...w-w-w-w-we could...well, you know...try to—"
*WHEEO* *WHEEO* *WHEEO*
Suddenly, the alert went off throughout the entire school.
"CODE 1 ALERT! NOVA INVASION IN PROGRESS! ALL WEST GENETICS STUDENTS ASSEMBLE FOR BATTLE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"
Ra's was awoken from his slumber.
Gene and Arturia were forced to abort date in Arturia's room.
Hiiragi turned off the shower and jumped out of the bathroom to get dressed.
Igor, Arnold, Alessandro, and Creed stopped exercising.
Elliot climbed out of the pool.

"The hell's goin' on?!" Young yelled as he joined Elgar and Father Marco.
"Take a look," Father Marco said as looked up at the monitor.
"N-No fucking way! It's the four Nova from Yokohama Beach! But didn't they disappear 10 minutes ago?"
They've just arrived at West Genetics!" explained Elgar. "And they're encircling us!"
"Get the fourth-years of East over here AT ONCE!" ordered Young.
"Roger! But they'll never make it in time!"
"It must've been a diversion..." deduced Father Marco.
