I do not own Fate/Stay Night, Freezing, or any other series that might be referenced in this story including the characters.
AN: Hey Raynare here again. Sorry for taking so long. My drive just disappeared for a while but I'm back. Hopefully for longer this time.
So this is probably the last of the intro chapters and the next chapter is when the plot truly starts.
Anyways, thanks for all the reviews, they are incredibly helpful. So back in the last author's note I talked about implementing the Creation and Forging of Matter and reading all your reviews, it helped me realize the flaw in applying it to the noble phantasms, but the volt weapon that Emilya uses is made from the elemental combinations between solid, liquid and gas elements as stated in the wiki. So it will be used on her hair and volt weapon.
Another thing is that people have been saying that Emilya acts more like Illya. Sorry about that, since I'm using Shirou from the end of HF I don't have much to go on. I'll try to add more Shirou characteristics, but don't expect too much.
UPDATE: I was informed that using Caladbolg was too much in that situation so I changed it. Thank you for telling me.
As always any helpful reviews are welcome. I hope you enjoy the chapter.
Emilya's Room, Nighttime
BOOM!
Jolted from her sleep, Emilya jumped out of bed and materialized Kanshou and Bakuya. She scanned the room looking for the enemy when another explosion occurred from the direction of her window. Cautiously walking over to the window, Emilya saw Ingrid and Satellizer fighting in the courtyard.
". . . Haaah, I know Satellizer was going to be punished, but does it have to be in the middle of the night?" Emilya muttered to herself, angry at being woken up. Then she noticed in the corner of her eye, the shadow of a person behind a tree. "No, no that idiot, why is he even near the girls' dorms? Damn it if he gets involved I'm going have to interfere." Lamented Emilya.
"Tsk." Satellizer had been pushed back so she started to store kinetic energy in her reinforced body before releasing the energy to dramatically increase her speed. Satellizer disappeared from her position and appeared at random locations to try and confuse Ingrid, but her Accel Turn failed against Ingrid who was able to predict where she was going to appear. In return, she used Tempest Turn which works the same way as an Accel Turn, but rather than releasing the energy, it is given form and then shot out to create after images that deals damage. Satellizer was hit in multiple locations and lost as a result. Ingrid then began to remove her Stigmatas.
The arrival of Ingrid's limiter, Leo, was enough of a distraction so that Satellizer was able to escape. Emilya was hoping that, that was the end of skirmish, but then Ingrid called for a limiter to help Satellizer, Kazuya stepped out of the shadows saying that he would be her limiter.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You know you will be siding with the one who broke the rules and will be beaten down for it." Declared Ingrid, testing Kazuya's resolve.
"Yes. I can't just stand by while Satellizer is getting hurt." Resolved Kazuya, standing in front of Satellizer.
Suddenly Kaho appeared and kicked Kazuya's head. "I'm sorry Bernstein-senpai. Kazuya doesn't know what he's talking about. I'll just take him back to his room." Said Kaho nervously trying to drag Kazuya away. Emilya was about to breathe a sigh of relief thinking that she wouldn't have to interfere, but Kazuya pushed Kaho away and declared that he would help Satellizer causing her to face palm.
Ingrid stared at Kazuya then waved her hand and said. "Fine. I'll give you time to perform the Baptism Ceremony." Satellizer fervently rejected, saying how the ceremony was perverted. In return Ingrid denied Satellizer's statement, saying that the ceremony was a holy thing and showed the partners' absolute trust in each other.
When Satellizer still refused to go through with it, Ingrid ran out of patience and attacked Satellizer who was promptly immobilized by Leo's Freezing. Emilya during the entire commotion had changed her location so that when she attacked, it wouldn't be pinpointed back to her room. Suddenly Kazuya activated his own Freezing even though he didn't go through the Baptism Ceremony shocking everyone. Emilya shook her head. She was going to ask her father about it later, but the current situation was more important. "Trace On."
Ingrid turned to attack Kazuya, but Emilya intercepted the attack by launching a traced and reinforced arrow from her bow at the ground in front of her. Ingrid stopped herself and yelled at Emilya's direction. "Who's there?!" But, that was the opening Satellizer needed and was able to deliver a heavy blow across Ingrid's chest causing Emilya's attack to be all but forgotten.
Kazuya questions Ingrid's obsession with rules and she reveals that she believes that her friend died because the rules weren't followed. Angered, Ingrid goes on the attack again, but when Kazuya's Freezing neutralizes both her and Leo, she was forced to use Pandora Mode. Once again Satellizer is pushed back and was about to be finished off, but Kazuya steps in front of her.
Emilya was about to launch another arrow, however Kazuya started talking, reasoning through Ingrid's friend's actions saying how her friend died to save her juniors rather than them abandoning her which shocked Ingrid to her core causing her to collapse, but not before questioning herself. "Was I wrong the entire time?"

Cafeteria, Friday
Kazuya and Kaho had been hush hush about the situation afterwards and Emilya didn't pry since she knew about the situation already, but during lunch, Kazuya reveals to Kaho, Arthur, and her that he became Satellizer's official limiter after talking with her the day after the fight. "WHAT?!" Yelled Kaho slamming her hands on the table, causing people to look at her. Blushing, she leaned down and hissed. "What do you mean you became the Untouchable Queen's limiter?"
"It means I'm Satella's limiter, but we didn't perform the ceremony since I can using Freezing without it." Said Kazuya. Arthur and Kaho were shocked that Kazuya had a nickname for her. Kaho and Kazuya bickered for a bit, but then Kaho changed the subject and asked. "Hey guys do you want to go karaoke later?" Kazuya said that he and Satellizer were going to have their "First Time" later and then left.
Emilya on the other hand accepted and went out with the two.

City, Later that day
Emilya, Kaho, and Arthur went karaoking for a few hours and afterwards, Kaho and Arthur gave Emilya a tour of the city. The two were showing Emilya all the best places to go for eating, shopping, dates, and such. "Neh, Emilya what's the German Genetics like compared to here?" Inquired Kaho, followed by Arthur's. "Yes, I'm curious as well."
"Well . . . I'd say it's much more intensive and dangerous there than it is here. For our Carnival we were drugged in our sleep and then left in the middle of the Alps with eliminating our opponents as the only instruction. The school encourages competition and survival of the fittest or smartest so comradery is basically nonexistent. There is friendship between students in different years, but if you are in the same year, well today's friend could be tomorrow's enemy and vis versa." Replied Emilya not at all phased by how Spartan PANZER was. Meanwhile Kaho and Arthur paled considerably.
"I-I see. That's scary. I guess we're lucky that it isn't like that here. A-Anyways tell us about yourself." Kaho stammered out, changing the subject.
"Mmm well I'm an orphan. My parents died in a fire when I was 8." Seeing their reactions, she said. "You guys don't have to look at me like that. I've gotten over it. Anyways, I like cooking in my free time, as well as helping out others if they need it. I also like going out since I was stuck inside most of the time when I was younger. I hate people who are willing to sacrifice lives to achieve their own ambitions. I don't really have a dream right now, I used to dream of becoming a hero of justice, but well I stopped wanting that." Said Emilya sheepishly rubbing the back of her head.
They continued the tour and eventually went to eat. While leaving the restaurant they witnessed Kazuya talking with an unfamiliar blue haired and eyed girl who had a tattoo under her left eye. Walking up to them Emilya asked him teasingly. "Hey Kazuya, I thought you were going to see Satellizer. Are you cheating on her already?"
Startled by her voice Kazuya jumped and turned around. "W-What? No! I wasn't I just met her earlier when she helped me out with some thugs." He stammered, blushing.
"Ohhh. Really? So who's your new friend?" Asked Kaho with a large smile.
"Yes!" Kazuya cried out. After he calmed down, the girl introduced herself. "Hi! My name is Rana Linchen. I'm from Tibet and I'm going to be joining West Genetics so that I can defeat the evil creatures and look for my destined one."
"I see. So-" Emilya started before getting cut off by several thugs who suddenly confronted them out of nowhere.
"Hey we want that those two over there." One of them said pointing at Kazuya and Rana causing Emilya to be ticked off. 'What the hell did he get himself into this time?'
"Now hold on a minute, they are our friends and we aren't going to let you doing anything to them." Kaho boldly stated, materializing two wakizashis into her hands.
"Fuck! She's a Pandora! Shoot her!" Yelled the leader. The thugs pulled out their guns and started shooting at her, but Kaho being a Pandora was easily able deflect the bullets. Emilya summoned her own weapons and was about to pounce when one of the other thugs called out. "Hey! Stop right there if you don't want anything happening to this guy." Drawing her eyes from the leader, Emilya saw Arthur being held at gunpoint by one of the thugs that was able to sneak up on him.
Emilya clicked her tongue. "Tsk." Reinforcing her legs, she immediately dashed towards Arthur.
"Wha-" Was all the thug could say before blood burst from his neck. "AHHHH! You bitch! You're gonna fucking pay for that!" Screamed the leader looking at his fallen friend. The others were stunned at her brutality and were unable to react fast enough and in a flash all of them were dead on the ground with blood flowing from their necks.
"Wha?! Why did you kill them?!" Kazuya cried out. Turning around Emilya looked at her classmates. Kazuya, Kaho, and Arthur looked sick while Rana blankly stared at the dead bodies which was surprising given how she seemed cheerful and innocent, but then again she was the same as Illya.
"They were a threat. Between them and Arthur who would you rather have be alive and safe? It's a dog eat dog world. Of course you could be kind, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, you will be seeing a lot more deaths later on. As a Pandora or limiter you all are on the front lines against the Novas. If you can't handle it then you should leave." Emilya stated coldly, but then looked over at Rana who was unfazed. "You don't seem surprised Linchen-san."
Rana smiled. "Well I'm from a tribe in the mountains of Nagarze. We're kinda isolated so it's still survival of the fittest."
"Hmmmm. I see." Responded Emilya shortly before turning to the others. "We should leave. We don't want to be caught here. It would cause problems."
The other students could only mutely follow her as she left with Rana by her side.

Emilya's Room
Emilya sighed. Today had been quite problematic. Her actions had caused some tensions with her classmates which would be problematic for her job. If she wasn't close to Kazuya it would be much harder to protect him. Though her meeting with Rana was quite interesting.
Jumping on her bed, Emilya took out her phone and dialed her father. ". . . Hello, Otou-chan? It's me, Emilya. So some stuff happened this week. Kazuya got into trouble again and he'll probably continue to get into more trouble since he's the Untouchable Queen's limiter now." She then proceeded to tell him everything that happened in the last week.
"Neh. Tou-chan, why can Kazuya use a Freezing field without going through the Baptism Ceremony and getting an Ereinbar Set?" Emilya asked. ". . . I see so it's because he has a stigmatic body like my sisters and I. Kay, thanks for the info. Night tou-chan."
After hanging up, Emilya thought about what would happen next week. 'Judging by what happened to Ingrid, I don't think the 3rd years will let Satellizer and Kazuya get away with their insubordination.' Thought Emilya who then sighed. She'd visit Elizabeth tomorrow to try and lessen whatever they were going to dish out.

Pool Area, Next Week
Emilya entered the 3rd year's hang out with two large cakes.
"Hey Lizzy, I brought cake for you and everyone." Announced Emilya, causing Elizabeth to uncharacteristically jump from her seat and run over to her, surprising the other 3rd years.
Grabbing the cake, Elizabeth cut out a slice and shoved a spoonful into her mouth. She felt she could die happy. "Mhhhmmm. Soooooo good. Thank you Emilya ahhhh your food is the best. I haven't mmmhhmmmm had any in soooo long." Elizabeth said with a blissful expression holding her hand to her face.
"What? It can't be that good." Said Arnett who then grabbed a slice. The result was her stuffing herself and moaning at how good it was.
The others tried the cake as well and were all left in similar states. Complete and utter bliss.
Elizabeth suddenly stopped stuffing herself, looking over at Emilya she scrutinized her. "You usually don't bake cakes unless it's for special occasions. So you want something. What is it?" Elizabeth deduced, glaring at her.
"You're right. I know you are going to punish L. Bridget, but I would like you to keep Aoi Kazuya out of it. If you do I'll give you all this other cake." Emilya said smiling while holding out the second cake.
Elizabeth stared then took the cake. "Deal. You ladies heard her. Another cake if we keep our hands off the boy and just the boy." The others nodded. Satellizer was their target so it wasn't anything major that they had to change and they got free delicious, mouthwatering, bliss inducing cake for basically nothing.
"Thanks ladies. See you tomorrow." Emilya said, waving her hand before skipping out the building.

Pool Area, Next Day
Emilya returned the next day and noticed Creo and Arnett were missing while Attia was looking very pissed off.
"Soooo did something happen?" Inquired Emilya tilting her head.
Elizabeth sighed closing the book she was reading. "Yesterday Attia, Creo, and Arnett ambushed Satellizer while she was in the training room, but before they could remove her stigmatas, Chiffon intervened and stopped them."
Emilya looked at her pityingly. "That's unfortunate. Are you going to continue to go after her?"
Elizabeth shook her head. "No. Chiffon made it clear that we were not to go after her again. Also said that we wouldn't have the leisure to fight each other like this in the future."
"I see." Emilya pensively replied, narrowing her eyes. "I should go prepare then, for the coming storm."
