Meanwhile, Osaka stood in a simulation center, remember what Sun Lee said...
"Pandora are not just paired with Vikings to to help you refrain from using Stigma abilities but to allow them to improve their Stigmata synchronicity. The difference in physical skills between Pandora and Vikings is like the one existing between an adult and child, THAT is the gap that Vikings cannot fill. I'm not sure if it's an innate defect or lack of training, but if this continues, you'll have a bunch of problems..."
And so, he summoned his Plasma Weapon as a Type-S Nova materialized before him. "ANION CHARGE! CATION CHARGE!" His body glowed with a slightly electric current as the bright lines of texture activation covered his body. Looking up at the Nova, the Viking made a ready stance and...
*WHIP*
The Nova violently whipped Osaka in the chest—
*CRACK*
—but it broke upon impact; the Viking was unscathed from the attack.
*WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP* *WHIP**WHIP**WHIP**WHIP**WHIP
The Nova continued whipping at him with more attacks, but none of them left so much as a scratch on—
*BEEP* *BEEP*
"Fuck! I'm outta time!" he yelled. TACHYON ACCEL!"
Osaka quickly sprinted to—
*WHIP*
He was suddenly knocked back down by the Nova, ripping his crotch area and exposing his cock. "Is this...my limit?" Holding up his hand, she shut down the Nova, effectively ending the training. "*SIGH* What am I gonna do...with such a short amount of time..." he thought as he covered his crotch with his hand. "Even if it's just for an instant, Vikings can surpass the skills of a normal Pandora..." He then began remembering this the day his grandmother told him.
(Flashback)
"Huh? What do you mean for an instant, grandmother...?" Osaka asked his grandmother at their house.
"As you know, Osaka: Stigmata inside Pandora change as time passes by, which means they gradually become something that is no longer human."
"You mean evolution?"
"Precisely. That's basically why they can repeatedly surpass human limits; however, without appropriate corrections, this change will degenerate in a fatal corruption of their bodies, although Vikings are not subject to corruption while being able to fight the Nova. As it is, Viking's power is inferior to that of a Pandora."
"So Vikings can have the same power of a Pandora? Even for a short amount of time?"
"...Didn't you hear me say 'surpass'?" While drinking her ice tea, Ginger took a seat at a table
"But...what does that mean? How DO we surpass the Pandora?"
"The answer...is time. There are ways to extend the time limit. And with that system, we'd be able to...equip Vikings with Plasma Weapons. You see, Volt Weapons are materialized by concentrating energy through Stigmata to recombine matter into a solid structure. In theory, Vikings can also materialize weapons using the same principle, but give the efficiency of the system, we prefer to use normal weapons to not overload the cartridges; however, while using cartridges, you can use Stigmata powers as long as you want, and by using all the power of the cartridges at once, you'd be able to materialize weapons vastly superior to Volt Weapons—and this goes for both Volt Weapons and Textures. Pandora equipment is made out of a combination of solid, liquid, and gaseous elements. Therefore, the next step...will be adding a fourth element: plasma. By doing this, we'll go far beyond Volt Textures...and successfully obtain Plasma Textures. The capabilities of a weapon materialized from a Plasma Texture Would be far superior to any Volt Weapon." Ginger paused for a seconds so she could take a sip of her tea. "In fact, such a weapon could be equated to an S-Type Nova's potential."
"To an S-Type Nova's...!?" Osaka began in shock.
"Yes, Plasma Weapons will be capable of that. And now, it's time to start the experiment! Are you okay with that, Osaka? Do you wish to have that power...?"
(End of Flashback)
Osaka looked down at his free hand. "Even if it WAS just a dummy, I was able to withstand an attack about 60% of the actual one. The time limit is STILL a big problem, but the Plasma Weapons really are revolutionary. But...why did Dr. Aoi give this power to US...instead of the Pandora?"
Meanwhile, Sun Lee and Young Kim stood outside West Genetics' main campus, watching a bunch of helicopters land. As soon as the rotors started to slow down, a young man in a business suit stepped out. "Thanks for the soft landing," he said. "My name is Seiga Akatsuki, Executive Director of Seiga Heavy Industries."
"Welcome to West Genetics," Young said as he shook the Executive Director's hand, "and thank you very much for coming. I'm Young Kim, and this Sun Lee; we're both instructors here."
"Well, it's an honor to meet you. Oh, you both might wanna step back!"
Just then, a bunch of ginormous generators were being rolled out of the other helicopters.
"We call them 'Faylan Stigmata Generators'," explained Director Seiga.
"So, when these things are activated on the field, Vikings within their operational range will be able to act freely without cartridges, right?" asked Sun.
"These things may cause some problems to our little Pandora..." said Young nervously.
"In their current status, they still have a limited operational range, which will obviously be expanded for real battles," explained Director Seiga.
"Alright, we're gonna need some free access to these for three days before our joint exercise. Let us know if you need anything."
"Sure thing, thanks for the collaboration."
