Chapter 2

Disclaimer, I do not own Naruto nor Freezing

Hello once more to another story. It felt like a great idea… I think

Warning: May contain OCs, OOCness, AU and other applicable nonsense

Note: Whoop another new chapter and the new longest one to date

On with the story

Urgh, I taste purple...

Those were current thoughts as she sprawled on the floor, still dazed after experimenting with her, dubbed Nova Mode by Kurama.

What does that even mean?

It means what it means, now shut up and let me deal!

Apparently this form wasn't very good for her health, not one bit. Five minutes in, Kurama was the one forced to end the transformation, she couldn't even think straight with all the other voices entering her head. It had the effect of dropping her like a stone on her carpet floor.

On the plus side, apparently this form awakened the pseudo-Chakra Network in her body without having to turn into Nova Mode. Bad side was that when she used them, she lit up bright enough to see from space… not really, but it was enough to raise more than a few questions.

"Hey~ you dead?"

Oh yeah, apparently, while Roxanne was visiting again, her Heroic Stigma resonated with Satellizer's. This led to an interesting meeting were one thing led to another and now here the redhead was overseeing the blonde's suspension and secretly overseeing her training. Since then they made sure that when they practised, those with Heroic Stigma weren't nearby.

The last time they didn't, Cassie had sensed it and had walked into a rather unfortunate scene. Satellizer was lying on her bed, panting and sweating, wearing only her shorts and sports bra, with Roxanne over her, dressed in only her underwear. Of course after that misunderstanding they doubted they would be disturbed by Cassie, even if she did feel something again.

"Close enough," Satellizer muttered back tiredly, staring at the smiling redhead sitting on her bed.

God, what is it with beautiful and powerful women with red hair in my life?

She didn't know, and frankly she wasn't going to complain.

"How long was that this time?" The blonde asked, as she tried to stand back up, only to fail spectacularly.

"Ten minutes and forty eight seconds, more than twice as long as when we started," Roxanne replied, suppressing her giggles at the younger girl fumbling on the floor. Sparing the girl any further embarrassment, she helped her up and onto the bed, before casually laying down on her back beside her.

"What do you feed those things," Satellizer found herself whispering in awe as she saw the way they swayed at almost every movement.

"Just a healthy diet and plenty of survival exercises," Was the very amused reply as Roxanne propped herself up on her elbow, showing an ample view of her bust. Satellizer's blush wasn't as bright as it would have been, having been used to seeing Roxanne's body in all degrees of exposure ever since the start of her stay.

There was one time, they were testing the capabilities of the Nova Mode, during class time when no one was nearby. They discovered that Satellizer had the ability to create a small circular field that destroys any Volt Texture within its radius as well as created a Freezing effect. Fortunately she was wearing her shorts and sports bra. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your view, Roxanne was only wearing loose clothing created from her Volt Texture. Satellizer did her utmost to ingrain the memory into her mind as she passed out from blood loss.

Roxanne merely waved off the blonde's apologies and instead groped Satellizer's breasts in retaliation. The blonde offered barely any resistance, something the redhead capitalized on.

Of course afterwards it was agreed that they were not to mention that ability to anyone. Didn't want Satellizer to be dissected, even if it might, key word might, create Pandora's that didn't need Limiters. Kurama had already told her that without him, it would be impossible to replicate, something she relayed to Roxanne. Of course they decided to hold off telling anyone until they need to.

Of course when Satellizer had needed actual combat practise, Roxanne had helped her sneak out at night to train. It was quite a discovery when Roxanne found out that Satellizer flawlessly copied her Plasma Weapon, the Fairchild Buster. For a Pandora to not only copy other weapons, but to also create a Plasma Texture without any prior knowledge of it was nothing short of impossible.

Roxanne had made sure to train Satellizer in the use of her weapons. It involved the blonde hitting the floor dozens of times during a spar. You would think that people would get alarmed by the sound of combat and would draw some attention, but it was like no one cared. It was pretty interesting, having your own Plasma Weapon whack you right in the face.

"Aan~," Satellizer was broken from her recollection by two hands squeezing the globes on her chest and sent a pleasant shiver through her body.

"Your guard is down~," Roxanne cheered, shamelessly fondling.

Satellizer often wondered if she was a masochist. Back as Naruto, she would let Sakura-chan would hit her and he wouldn't mind so much, then came Hinata-chan after she broke her shell. And she wasn't even gonna mention what Anko, or Shion, or even Koyuki did to her.

"Hyaah~"

Yep definitely.

The blonde woke up to a morning like the ones before it. Satellizer always woke up at dawn, something she made sure the body made a habit of. Casually shoving aside the warm body she had been cuddling, and ignoring the whining from the other person, she went about her daily routine of bathing, dressing in her clothing and then making a very large breakfast.

She found that both she and Roxanne ate enough food to feed five families in a single meal. This required her to cook large amounts of food every day, while Roxanne would bring groceries to, technically, their room.

"Satella-chan," a pair of arms found their way around her waist as Roxanne nuzzled her head into the crook of her shoulder, "What's cooking?"

"The usual," Satellizer replied, blushing at the feeling of the redhead burying her head deeper into her neck, and did she just smell her?!

"Yummy~" Roxanne breathed, Satellizer could only shiver as the warm breath hits her skin and she felt lips glide gently on the flesh of her neck. Roxanne could barely resist the temptation of nibbling at the blonde a little bit just to see how she would react.

"Y-yeah, so go t-take a shower and I'll finish up here," the blonde muttered, distracted by the startling realisation that the woman behind her was naked.

"Be right back." Were her parting words as she went to bath.

Brat

Yeah Kurama?

You lucky bastard

Eh?

I was referring to your wife back there

Eeehh?! S-s-she i-isn't my w-wife, baka-kitsune!

Ah you're right… You're the one that acts more like her wife

W-what! No! Wait…? Do I really act like t-that?

Yes

…shut up'ttebayo

"Smells delicious," Roxanne remarked as returned in loose clothing and drying her still moist hair with a towel and distracting Satellizer from Kurama.

Satellizer didn't even realise when she had finished cooking and had set the table. Looking at the food she made, she was greatly disappointed by the lack of ramen. Something that she disliked about this body was the fact that it couldn't eat as much ramen as she wanted. She had receded for a while in her room after discovering that.

Her manners at the table had at least improved from shovelling ramen into her mouth, but the overall speed she consumed the food remained unchanged.

"Honey, slow down or you'll choke,"

Wow she sounded pretty concerned… wait did she just call me 'honey'?

Of course that did cause her to start choking. She faintly felt the feeling of Roxanne patting her back as she coughed.

"Told you so," She muttered as she rubbed Satellizer's back comfortingly, "You're lucky the Almighty Roxanne was here to save you."

"Yes, yes thanks for saving me," the blonde muttered between coughs, before going back to eating at a more sedate pace.

"So it's finally time huh?" Roxanne murmured, at Satellizer's confused glance she elaborated, "You're finally being transferred to West Genetics and I'm heading back to America."

"You knew it was bound to happen, but it doesn't mean we won't see each other again," Satellizer replied concisely in a way that it would sound cold to those that don't know her.

"But I'm gonna miss my body pillow~" the older woman sighed morosely.

"What are you trying to say," Satellizer was not amused.

"A-ahahaha, nothing honey~" Roxanne replied waving her hands, trying to placate Satellizer's rising temper.

Despite being the current #2 Ranked Pandora World Wide, she quailed pretty quickly under Satellizer's glowing glare. No really, Satellizer's eyes take on her Nova Mode qualities when upset or annoyed and would glow eerily in a way that would scare anyone.

"But we won't see each other for a while huh?" Roxanne continued idly playing with her food, a strangely somber mood surrounding her.

"…Roxanne?"

"Hey," the redhead looked away, finding outside the window very interesting, "Promise you'll never forget me…"

Satellizer smiled, already knowing she would keep that one, but could only blush at what Roxanne whispered under her breath, the words the blonde almost missed, if it wasn't for her excellent hearing.

"…promise that… you'll come back… to me…"

The blonde smiled gently as she stood from her seat, alerting Roxanne who stiffened slightly but otherwise did nothing. Satellizer gently brushed the red hair aside and graced her cheek with her lips.

"I promise," she murmured, before taking the empty plates to the dishwasher.

With her back turned she didn't see the way Roxanne's face burned a bright red, nor did she see the positively radiant smile that appeared on her face.

"Let me help with that," the older Pandora said cheerfully as she rose from her chair.

"W-watch where you're touching."

"Ufufufu."

Satellizer was never good at saying goodbye, when she finally had to leave for West Genetics she couldn't find the right words to say to the only person saying farewell to her.

Roxanne solved that problem.

Her way of saying goodbye took the blonde's breath away. It was in an almost literal sense. It took a while for Satellizer to reboot, but when she did, she was hit with the distinctive taste of cherries, the sensation of grasping soft hair and the soft body pressed against her own. She subconsciously responded, faintly aware of the fact that they were giving more than a few people a show.

After what felt like hours they parted, Roxanne removed her mouth and tongue from where it was, both their faces glowing red.

"That was better than what imagined," Roxanne whispered her forehead still touching Satellizer's, her blush receding as she composed herself.

"Well I hope you enjoyed it," Satellizer muttered dryly, moving away from her now that she was fully aware that people had taken photos, "Because I'm not giving out any kisses for a long time."

"A-ah, honey?"

"Bye bye sweetie," Satellizer replied, entering the helicopter, something she hoped she would never do ever again, "Until next time."

Guess she couldn't really be called the Untouchable Queen anymore.

Getting there was easy enough, of course a portion of the seat was crushed where she was gripping it. She swore on her life that she would replicate the Six Paths Flight ability she had, even if it killed her.

It wasn't much of a change to East Genetics even the floor plan was pretty identical with minor changes here and there. And of course she recognised parts of this place when they first got her out of that underground chamber with the other woman. Of course as she made her way to the principal's office, she could already hear the whispers from the other students as they parted from her path, it seem that news of her had already spread here.

"Hey look, isn't that the Hannya of the East?"

"What's the Untouchable Queen doing here?"

"Whoa she's hot, maybe I can be her limiter."

"Fat chance you'll be able to woo the World's #2 Pandora's woman."

She could hear them go on and on, and didn't really care much for it, although that last one did worry her slightly. Did news really travel that fast about what they did? Well it was more like what Roxanne did, but that wasn't the point. It sounded as bad as being a Limiter's Pandora, although not as much in her head.

Maybe it's because you're a pervert

Sighing to herself, Satellizer merely walked into the principal's office and to get it over with. She needed a nice nap after today.

"Welcome back Satellizer-chan," the principal, Sister Margaret said, smiling kindly at the blonde.

"It's good to be back," Satellizer replied, "How has the she been?"

"Maria?" she did not seem bothered by the question, "She seemed to have stirred at your arrival. It would seem that she missed you."

Satellizer froze as she felt something approach. Something that bore fruit in their exploration of her abilities, was that she finally had an ability to sense other Stigma without having to light up like a Christmas tree and looking just as flamboyant. Of course the moment she did so she sensed something that was far from the normal approaching. Something far stronger and denser than any normal Pandora.

When the #1 Strongest Pandora World Wide walked through the door, Satellizer was more than ready to create her Nova Blood V2[1], the massive primarily single edge blade slightly parted in the middle by a Particle Conductor, not unlike a certain Legendary Pandora's Volt Weapon—not that she knew that of course—and blast whoever entered into dust. She stopped however as she recognised Chiffon Fairchild and knew that if Roxanne could survive her particle beam, then so could the Smiling Monster.

"Ah good, you're here," Sister Margaret said, seeing Chiffon enter, ignoring how Satellizer tensed before or the fascinated stare(?) Chiffon was giving the blonde in return, "Student Body President Fairchild here will give you a brief tour. And I hope you both have a nice day."

"Nice to meet you Satellizer-chan," Chiffon greeted, before fully opening her eyes. Satellizer own eyes widened at the familiar sight staring at her, unaware that her own have changed to look the same, "I hope you'll enjoy your time here."

"Yes, me too," Satellizer murmured distractedly, completely aware of the way her Stigmata pulsating.

"Please follow me," Chiffon said, breaking eye contact and narrowing her eyes once more, walking down the halls, Satellizer became aware of her eyes and willed them back to normal.

Kurama, she knows something

I know brat, keep your distance, even with your Nova Mode, I doubt you could best that one

So what do I do? Just roll with it?

Yes, at least until you've amassed enough strength to do as you will with impunity

"When will I get to visit her?" Satellizer questioned, still weary of the woman next to her.

"Well Sister Margaret told me to show you around," Chiffon adopted a thinking pose before answering, "But I guess we can go now if you want."

The ride down in the elevator was eerie enough, but with Chiffon staring at her back the whole way down didn't help. It made a shiver bounce through her Stigma. Somehow she knew Chiffon knew that and was smiling widely at her.

Getting off the elevator Satellizer ignored the nagging feeling in her head—Kurama—that she was being cornered. Looking slightly up, she was met with the sight of the Mother of all Pandoras, Maria Lancelot safely encased in her glass container.

Satellizer moved closer, faintly aware of Chiffon watching her every movement, the girl's eyes once more fully opened, exposing unnatural eyes to the world. Her thoughts became duller, focusing on the crystallised body before her as Maria called to her.

She moved even closer, the seemingly dead body waking, Maria's eyes narrowing as they locked onto hers, Satellizer didn't know when her body began glowing with orange, strangely incomplete hexagonal, lines and the same bright crimson hexagons. The same pulsing in her back accelerated, her eyes becoming the same as Maria's, as they began to glow an unearthly light. She was faintly aware of Kurama shouting something at the back of her mind, indistinctly knowing that Maria was doing something to her.

The crystalline spikes began to grow from her Stigmata, looking a lot like six wings. She then began to float upwards, moving even closer to the glass, guided by the glowing body of Maria. Far away Satellizer felt four other powerful beings stirring from the energy that she and Maria were releasing.

Maria, whose crystalized form had been stored away since long ago, moved for the very first time, placing her palm on the glass. Satellizer barely thought of it, before reciprocating the action.

The words flooded her mind immediately, the voices knocking away Kurama's already faint voice, as her mind connected with Maria's. Her thoughts being drowned by the cacophony of words overlapping each other. The same line being repeated over and over

Welcome back sister

The connection eventually became too much for Satellizer, her limit finally reached and she passed out. The last thing she saw before the darkness were the glowing eyes of Maria Lancelot, unaware of the glowing four sided diamond gold briefly appearing in the middle of her collarbone.

Chiffon watched as the girl visiting her 'mother' began moving. She had felt something off about her and now she could feel her Stigma shivering in anticipation. She watched with in awe as Satellizer's presence easily dominated the room, the way her body lit up with her power.

She could even feel her sisters waking from the overflow of the connection between Satellizer and Maria. It was like every atom in her body was being called to Satellizer's direction, as blood red wings sprouted from her back, allowing her to rise and meet Maria.

She could feel her own Stigmata filling to the brim from the energy the two were releasing. Her father has always considered Maria as a Goddess, and here she was in the presence of another. Just being in her presence made her knees weak and her body shiver in excitement. Her interest only heightened by the sudden shift in her energy, almost like her own.

She sighed in slight disappointment as the pleasant feeling began to leave her. She watched as Satellizer seemed to recede, her transformation dying out completely as she jerked unsteadily in the air before she suddenly dropped like a stone. Chiffon sighed in slight disappointment as she caught the girl before she could hit the floor. Her interest was interrupted.

"Oh my, it seems we're going to have to keep a closer eye on you," Chiffon whispered gently to the unconscious girl snuggling closer to her.

She turned to the direction of the elevator, just as Dr. Gengo and an escort of Pandora's entered the Ravensbourne Nucleotide.

Not even a single day in West Genetics and Satellizer had already caused a scene.

Walking up in a soft bed wasn't so bad. Waking in a soft bed in an unknown room was.

Here Satellizer was, waking up in a room she did not recognise, and was only clad in a hospital gown. Of course instincts told her she was being watched and looking around she saw she wasn't alone.

In the room with her was a woman with shoulder length purple hair and orange eyes with yellow pupils. The only way Satellizer could describe her was that the woman possessed an almost supernatural beauty. She was dressed in a black and white ensemble, which went along with the detached sleeves and black thigh high boots.

Oh and she also had an irregular large green Stigma in the middle of her collarbone.

Did she also mention the neutral stare that was burning holes into her head with how much the woman was staring? Frankly it scared Satellizer and was made worse by the fact that she wasn't blinking. She absently wondered if the woman even knew how to blink.

"Um hi?" the blonde ventured.

She was met with only more staring and silence.

"You wouldn't happen to know where I am would you." Satellizer tried again

More silence and staring.

"Okay well I'll just—" her attempt to rise was stopped by the girl suddenly appearing next to her and pushing her back down.

What speed, it was like she teleported, what have I got myself into this time?

"Ah you're awake," it was the old man, Dr. Gengo Aoi if she remembered correctly, "It seems you've acquainted yourself with Teslad."

"Yeah, good talk with that one," Satellizer deadpanned, not really feeling the love.

"Yes, Teslad has been known for silence," Gengo sat down on the chair next to the bed, "How are you feeling?"

"Much better now that voices aren't yelling in my head." Was the snappish reply, "Where am i?"

"Of course, but that is the price of being blessed by the Goddess," Gengo replied, "To answer your question, we are in the Working Prototype In-Atmosphere Orbital Fortress designated as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or simply the Hanging Gardens."

"What?"

"In essence fortress currently floating above Japan." Gengo elaborated

"You saw that." Satellizer said after a moment of silence. It came as a statement rather than a question, already knowing the answer

"We have watched you for a long time now, but to actually see you transform was nothing short of amazing."

"…"

"Did you know," Gengo continued, "That the Pandora that saw you transform, believed you to be the Second Maria?"

"What do you want?" Satellizer asked too tired for any further wandering around the subject

"To the point then," He looked directly at Satellizer before continuing, "We require your abilities."

"My powers are impossible to replicate." was her immediate reply, stating what Roxanne had told her to say, "My cells deteriorate too quickly for any research to be done."

And it wasn't a lie, she once tested it out by cutting a small portion of her hair and the severed strands disintegrated within seconds of separation from her body.

"I have already expected as much," Gengo countered, already knowing that little information from his watch over her during her comatose state, "Instead I only wish for you to join your kind."

"And what exactly is that?"

"Like her," He replied, gesturing at Teslad, "And since Maria has named you her sister, then Teslad and her sisters are your nieces. Maria herself, has entrusted you with their safety. If you won't trust me, then surely you can trust the family given to you by Maria. Besides, wouldn't a location that can help cultivate your abilities be preferable to sneaking out in the dead of night to remain undetected?"

…Kurama?

It would be too much of a disadvantage to your development if we refuse

I know…

"So what will you do? Stay here and flourish or will you return to West Genetics?"

"What makes you think we won't be found?" Satellizer countered.

"Teslad help her up," Gengo ordered, as he moved to leave. Teslad of course followed his commands without a single shift in her face.

It took Satellizer a while to find her feet, apparently she took too long since as soon as she found them Teslad lifted her in a bridal carry and began to follow after the doctor, out the door and through a hallway. Looking at the light lined metal walls of the hallway wasn't a comforting sight. Kinda reminded her Orochimaru's lair. Not comforting at all.

After going through several sets of doors and hallways, and seeing various rooms with more glass cylinders, they emerged outside. It was fairly large on the outside, the circular opening on the outside contained a large garden filled with all manners of flora.

Looking over the edge Satellizer found her flight anxieties waking up again. They were very high in the sky, like very, very high. They were over the clouds high and it wasn't doing her dislike of flying that is not within her power or heights any favours. The place didn't even have a barrier to stop people from just tripping over.

"Are you okay?" Gengo asked slightly worried at how fast Satellizer's face lost colour.

"F-fine, just give me a moment," She replied tersely, doing the breathing exercises Roxanne had taught her, "Okay I'm good, now why did you show me this?"

"You wanted to know how we will keep you a secret from the world," Gengo replied, "To answer your question, the Hanging Gardens has a randomly generated flight plan to ensure that it is constantly moving and that its arrival cannot be predicted."

"What is it with you people and flying metal contraptions," Satellizer muttered darkly under her breath.

"I'll ask again, will you stay or go back?" Gengo asked, ignoring the blonde's remark

Staying or going, are there any cons to this?

Probably not, at least the other four on this fortress might give you a challenge like that redheaded woman

"I'll stay."

So here she was, decked in her new uniform, the design something Kurama had given her.

A white dress lined with black lines, the upper part of the dress covered under a shining silver chest plate, while the multilayered skirt of the dress was decorated in black accents, plated armour that rested on her hips over the dress. Around her arms were detached sleeves, puffed up around her biceps decorated with black linings and black ribbons, which connected to metal gauntlets. For footwear she had armour plated boots that completed her armour set. Her blue headband had been swapped for a white one decorated with a black bow[2].

The outfit did little to hide her buxom figure and she wasn't overly into the sudden costume change, but on the other hand she thought the white went nicely with that of the other Legendary Pandoras.

"Satella-chan, hurry up it's time for training," An excited Windy May yelled from outside her room.

It's gonna be a long day, she thought as she left her room.

"C'mon let's go!" Windy exclaimed dragging Satellizer after her

At least it won't be dull

End of the story

Omake: Satellizer Files - #2

Satellizer had progressed with leaps and bounds during her training as a Pandora, easily becoming the Rank One of the first years. Her chosen Volt Weapon was known as Nova Blood, similarly named to and in appearance to my granddaughter's, Kazuha Aoi's weapon.

It would also seem that the spike in energy has been traced to her room. Perhaps it was her Seraphim Stigma awaking, much like the way Maria's did during combat.

An incident was reported near the halfway point of her second year. The casualties included 16 Pandoras and 4 Limiters. It was also reported that after a small scuffle with Cassie Lockheart, known Rank One of the third year, Satellizer had shown the ability to make weaker willed opponents flee merely by staring at them, with reported Cassie fleeing the scene. It had been decided for Satellizer to be suspended for the year, where she will be transferred under the care of Sister Margaret and West Genetics.

Further developments have come up. The spikes in energy originating from Satellizer's room continued, I had to put as much as I could in keeping the energy spikes a secret, but not enough to draw any unwanted attention. It would also seem that Roxanne Elipton had discovered her, but has agreed to keep quiet.

I finally got a glimpse of her Nova Mode, as she and Roxanne seem found of calling it, and once more I am reminded of Maria. The way her Stigma grew to look like wings only enforced their naming as the Type-Seraphim Stigma. During that time her Compatibility went from 96% to an outstanding 118%

Perhaps Satellizer is a sign from Maria, especially with how the Lab 13 girl's seem to respond positively to her presence alone. Cassandra, Windy and Teslad stirred in their stasis and Lucy, who was set to be placed with the Project Valkyrie, actually smiled.

I have been successful in persuading her to stay here. We could learn many things from her.

Note: It may be prudent to deploy Satellizer after or alongside Project Valkyrie with Platoon 13. Until then Project Seraphim will remain strictly confidential.

[1] Looks like Cassandra's Volt Weapon for those who don't know

[2] Imagine Saber Lily's armour from Type-Moon, which I also do not own

Before anyone complains about her staying in West Genetics for only one day and then just moving her to a floating island, that was only a plot device for her to meet Maria again and from there meeting the Legendary Pandora for reasons

Next Chapter – Ascendancy, training montage and perving on the Legendary Pandora's and the consequences of doing so

That's all for now, hoped you like the ooze that poured from my head

As always thanks for reading! ^.^
