(Around Fifty Years Ago)

A young woman around her 20s was rowing her boat by the lake, preparing to—

*FLASH*

A bright light suddenly consumed the area. As it dimmed down, the woman saw a forcefield floating above, then it disappeared and revealed what was inside: a mysterious naked young man with long hair and strange lines on his face.

"FUCK!" Later that night, at her lake house, Ginger Aoi tossed her computer across the table, effectively breaking it. "*INHALE* *EXHALE* *INHALE* *EXHALE* *INHALE* *EXHALE* *INHALE* *EXHALE* *INHALE* *EXHALE*" Calming down, she entered her bedroom, where the boy she noticed from before (now fully clothed) sat down her bed in a blank, emotionless state. "Max," the woman tearfully whispered as he placed her hands on his shoulders, "please tell me...I beg you to tell that everything I looked up is not true..."

After a few seconds, the man looked at her. He slowly moved his hand to her tear-filled eyes wipe them away with his finger, and he sipped her tear with his mouth. Then he gave her a gentle smile, causing Ginger's heart to accelerate...

Dr. Aoi looked outside a window with concern in his eyes. "I gotta hand it to you, Dr. Aoi! We've finally come up with a solution to save mankind," said her colleague. "Unfortunately, I can't help you any further, everything rests on YOUR shoulders. After all, YOU are the woman who managed to control Maxwell Lancelot, mankind's only hope."

"'Mankind's only hope'...but this will only delay the inevitable," thought Dr. Aoi. "We have no choice. His appearance was not a case. If we consider everything preordained, then what is happening has a precise meaning. If only we could survive...as actual humans...just a little longer...!"

*THUD*

"*COUGH* *COUGH*" Suddenly, a man behind her violently collapsed and started coughing out blood.

"CASSIUS!" exclaimed Dr. Aoi. She quickly placed Cassius in a stasis tube. "*SIGH* It seems like he'll survive less than 48 hours, so I'm gonna have to lower the activation of his Stigmata tissue. It'll significantly reduce his compatibility rate, but at least it'll help him survive..." She left the chamber to return to her office. "Unfortunately, the stronger they become, the sooner they will die. We have to preserve this potential...and learn to control it. If we're going to defeat the Nova, we absolutely need these human weapons." Dr. Aoi took a seat at her desk. "The Nova only have one purpose: to wipeout mankind. But maybe there will be hope...if our weapons prove of any use to us..." And with that, she began to fall asleep.

(Present Day)

As she woke up, Dr. Aoi found herself sitting on a chair outside her house. "*SIGH* I must've fallen asleep." Retreating back into her house, she noticed something on her bookshelf. "My photo album! Kazuha must've put it there." Smiling to herself, she took out the photo album and opened it up, remembering the good old days before—

"*GASP*" Her smile disappeared at the sight of the torn picture. "Oh dear. I guess it's time to tell her...about the blood that flowed through her veins..."

The next day at West Genetics, Kazuha sat at a table with Satellite and Ra's; all three of them silently ate their lunch, trying to ignore all the gossip from their classmates...

"Team 13's joint exercise is tomorrow."

"Yeah, I can't wait."

"Are you kiddin'!? Those guys are crazy!"

"Don't'cha wanna know what the Vikings are capable of?"

"HELLO! Haven't you forgotten what they did to Alessandro?"

*SLAM*

The Pandora punk suddenly stood up brusquely and stormed off, causing her Limiter to exclaim, "Lite-senpai!"

Later that night, Kazuha took a walk around the campus. "*SIGH* I still can't get over what happened..." she thought. "I mean—"

Just then, she noticed something above her: a silver-haired Viking sitting atop of roof and looking at the ginormous moon within the night sky. "Luke-san!" she called out.

Hearing the female Japanese Limiter's words, Luke Renault turned his head back to her. But once Kazuha blinked, she was...gone.

"Huh?" Confused, Kazuha turned around—

"EEK!" She quickly fell backwards as Luke was now right behind him. "Whoa! W-Was that an Accel!?" she asked as she got us (while holding down her skirt to hide her panties. "It...It almost looked like Clifford-senp—"

"Clifford...!?" exclaimed Luke all of a sudden. "You mean Clifford Fairchild?"

"Yeah! Do you know him? Well, I mean, he WAS one of the highest-ranked Pandora, and he—"

"Cassius...Tesla...Wind...Clifford...Kazuya..."

"'Kazuya' You mean my older brother?"

"They are all...my brothers..."
