But just then, the Nova began...moving again.

"Wha—What's goin' on!?" Christopher gasped.

Giving out its normal cry, the Nova was surprisingly reactivated.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" screamed Satellite.

"That's impossible~de arimasu!" gasped Ra's. "It's just like...the phenomenon in Alaska!"

The Pandora could do nothing...except stare in shock without even reacting.

Across Genetics, the Faylan Generators began glowing and emitting a strange aura that swirled and rose to the skies.


Sitting in her chair and observing the battle, Norito Seiga began thinking about something...


(Flashback)

"Grandmother, listen to THIS: we've discovered that by exposing that by exposing stigmata tissue to a certain frequency...a peculiar phenomenon occurred," Director Seiga said to his grandmother.

"...A phenomenon in response to a frequency...?" asked Norito.

"Precisely, this is its graphic exemplification..." Director Seiga typed onto the computer to show his grandmother the frequency. "Come and take a look..."

"*GASP* THIS IS..." The grandmother gasped at first glance.

"It's a signal that normal sensors are not able to detect," explained the director. "We were able to find it only thanks to the Stigmatic material. In simple words: this signal is not perceivable in this world, but since Stigma are not from this world, they're probably receiving something from the other side."

"'T...The other side'!? You mean from another dimension?!"

"The Faylan technology we developed...is meant to amplify and maximize the efficiency of low-density Stigmatic material. Substantially, Stigma and Faylan technologies work the same way, and they've both detected this weird signal: the...voice of the Nova. It was sent here purposely."

"A signal sent...from another dimension...!? But...But is it possible...that Aoi Ginger hasn't noticed this yet?"

"...I DOUBT that. After all, Dr. Aoi is the creator of the whole Stigma System."

"Are...Are you suggesting—"

"Exactly, I came to the same conclusion: Dr. Aoi knew about this from the very start; however, she never SHARED the information—she's been keeping this from Chevalier and the rest of mankind...even if they don't know exactly why..."

"Hiding this kind of information is not something we can take lightly! We need to report this to Chevalier and bring that dyke to justice!"

"We CAN'T...up until now, Dr. Aoi has always had the monopoly on everything concerning Stigma, and I think she gave us this project just because he thought we'd have never been able to figure out anything..." Just then, Director Seiga gave an evil smile. "Looks like we finally have a chance to set up a trap for that bitch, wouldn't you agree, Grandfather? Like I said: I don't know what Dr. Aoi's planning, but...what do you think will happen if we reveal what we've just discovered?"

"W-What are you saying, Akatsuki? If we do something like this, we'll only end up sinking WITH her!"

"Are you sure? But wasn't Dr. Aoi the one who provided the Stigma samples in the first place? Wasn't it HER responsibility to ensure that there were absolutely no risks whatsoever? If we do this, we can shift all the blame on her...we were only following the orders given to us by our superiors, but then something happened that we at Seiga Heavy Industries were not able to predict."

"So...do you really believe Dr. Aoi will fall for something like this?"

"Well...I have the perfect trump card..."

(End of Flashback)


Back in the control center, all the spectators were extremely shocked at the sight of the Nova reactivating.

"What's going on?"

"How is this possible?!"

"But he destroyed the core! That should've deactivated it!"

Standing at the front of the spectators, Director Seiga gave an evil glance that nobody could see. "It's far too late to panic by this point, and THIS is not even the most disturbing part...Dr. Aoi..." He turned his head back to Dr. Aoi. "Everything's already gone out of control...I wonder what that vixen will do—WHAT?!" He noticed Dr. Aoi simply smiling as she observed the joint exercise. "How the fuck is she so calm and relaxed!?"

"Hey! What's going on here, Dr. Aoi!?" yelled a frantic man.

"*SIGH* I'm afraid the Stigmatic material inside the Faylan Generators has melted, causing the dummies to go berserk," the calm female doctor explained as she got up and moved forward to the monitor.

"What are you talking about?"

"Well...let's try to deal with this situation first. Director Seiga!"

"Huh? Y-Yes?" asked Director Seiga nervously.

"Have you already figured out...their intentions?"

The Seiga Heavy Industries director widened his eyes in confusion. "W-WHAT 'intentions'?"

"There's no point in denying it now...and since you already know what's going on, I suppose you also know what'll happen next: this phenomenon...will start affect the Pandora..."


Back on the battlefield, an infinity symbol appeared in the sky, leaving all the Pandora, Vikings, and Limiters stumbled.

"What the fuck is THAT thing!?" yelled Miyagi.

"I thought we were supposed to fighting dummies!" yelled Arnold.

"I thought it was deactivated...but it started resonating again..." thought Tommy.

"What's goin' on?! How the hell could it be moving when we destroyed the damn core!?" shouted Christopher.

"C-Could be a system malfunction..." suggested Franklin.

"Wait a sec!" said Rocky. "It almost looks like..."

"I can see it TOO~de arimasu!" said Ra's.

"*GASP* You're right! It...It looks like the same light...that Clifford created back then..." gasped Satellite.

"Uh, HQ, what's goin' on here?" asked Charlie through his headphones. "Is this part of the joint exercise? Hello!? HELLO!?"

"*GASP*" Just then, the Tibetan Pandora remained completely still...with glowing eyes.


"Ugh..." Ra's grabbed his head as he opened his eyes. "Where...Where AM I~de arimasu?" He looked around and found himself in a cloudy and misty field. Just then, he noticed a shadowy figure creeping closer to him. "WHA! W-WHO ARE YOU?!" But as the shadows dimmed and the figure was revealed, the Tibetan Pandora widened his eyes.


"Br...Brother!" whispered Ra's.

"GAH!" Tommy suddenly grabbed his head. "WHAT IS THING!"

"ARGH!"

"AH!"

Soon, the rest of his platoon began screaming and holding themselves.

(Main Control Center)

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" yelled Elgar.

"THEIR VITAL SIGNS! THEY'RE...RAPIDLY DROPPING!" exclaimed Young.


"...And so, it begins..." said Dr. Aoi in excitement. "I just can't wait...to see how many of them will survive..."
