It's so cold!
That's why...
You're too close.
That's because it's cold.
That's right.
Your clothes aren't thick like mine.
That's right.
That's why...
You're way too close.
But it's so cold that I feel like I'm going to freeze to death.
You should feel how cold it is.
Wait!
What do you want me to feel?
Touch me to feel it.
No way!
Just touch me.
I'm so cold.
Hey!
I just want you to warm me up, Kazuya-kun.
Volt Texture has cold protection and heat insulation!
Really, Satellizer-san?
We've received a request for help.
Altering the route and velocity to the designated location.
They said they're altering the route...
They didn't even tell us where we were going in the first place.
Arrived at the location where the request for help was sent.
However, it's hard to judge the situation due to poor visibility.
Type-S Nova confirmed below.
Who would've thought there'd be a Nova here?
There are usually dimensional vibrations when they appear.
Did you notice any?
I don't think that system will function very well in this blizzard.
We know about your situation.
Who are you?
There's a Chevalier oil reservoir three kilometres from here.
Your mission is to defend it and hold Type-S at all costs.
D-Defence mission?
With only two Pandoras?
Reinforcements will arrive soon.
Soon?
The damage would be immense if those reservoirs were destroyed.
An oil leak would lead to the contamination of the ocean.
Only you can prevent that.
These weather conditions prevent a proper landing.
The hatch will open and you will be dispatched directly into combat.
What's that mean?
It means we're jumping right down and fighting.
Let's go!
All right!
Now!
Good luck.
What are we going to do?
But before that...
I-I'm sorry.
How are they so quick?
It's about to begin.
We'll be there soon, Doctor.
They did it!
No!
An Arc Length missile?
They are too well prepared.
The real deal starts now.
Look closely.
That's the Pandora who protected West Genetics Japan during the 10th Nova Clash...
Volt weapon expansion.
Volt weapon expansion!
Attention Pandoras...
It's too risky to attack it head on.
Tracking mark detected.
0.5 miles to the glacier.
Battle code...
I'll provoke the Nova.
And you, Rana Linchen...
You want to bury it alive, right?
I'll cover you, Satella-senpai.
Let's go!
Sacred Gate Eight Extremities Fist... Flame Fang!
Surprisingly easy for a Nova.
It was a bit too weak.
Senpai.
Rana.
Kazuya-kun.
Watch out!
Chiffon Fairchild.
And Elizabeth Mably.
Are you all right?
You're...
I'll leave him with you.
Yes, my lady.
Satellizer-san and Rana-san can be decoys.
I'll be the striker.
And you can be the finisher, Elizabeth-san.
Let's go, Yujin!
Leave it to me, Onee-chan!
Ereinbar Set!
I knew it!
This nova is...
West Genetics' Pandoras are much better than what the rumours say.
Japan is under Aoi Gengo's care.
And Maria Lancelot's Holy Corpse is stored there.
That's why a lot of ladies from rich families gathered there.
Ladies from rich families?
I'm sure they're...
It's strange.
You noticed it too, Elizabeth-san?
Yeah.
This is a Nova Dummy, which is rumoured to be in the middle of development in Alaska.
If you think of it like a experimental operation,
then it's not surprising that they were already well prepared for a counterattack.
So they lied about the request for help,
and dropped us into their game without telling us anything.
They called us here under the pretext of a massive crisis.
Either way, someone was testing us.
I look forward to seeing what awaits us in Alaska.
Don't look at her like that!
You should just use your Volt Texture.
Are you okay with that?
Eh?
Having Satellizer-san blow you off like that.
You're exaggerating, Rana.
I'm not exaggerating!
It's because you're my Limiter.
S-Since when did he become your Limiter?
He's my...
But you still haven't finalized it with Kazuya-kun, right?
I think second place is appropriate for you,
considering the name "Untouchable Queen".
W-Who is second-
Do try to act less clueless, will you?
Yes!
That's right, Rana.
Weren't we sent here to provide the E-Pandora research institute with some data?
Oh really?
What's E-Pandora?
Artificially created Pandora.
Earlier, during the 10th Nova Clash,
it was observed that the Nova were appearing more frequently.
In opposition, Chevalier headquarters announced the approval of a new Pandora project.
Scarlet Ohara
It was proposed by Dr. Scarlet Ohara,
it's known as the E-Pandora Project.
All girls are required to undergo a Stigma compatibility test after they reach their 11th birthday.
Artificial stigmata implant operation has been prioritised.
Positive results have paved the way for volunteers.
There is a prospect of increasing our millitary potential.
This might be groundwork for getting humanity back on its feet.
Cites around the world rush to construct institutions.
Only girls with Stigma compatibility would be allowed to become Pandoras.
Of course, whether a girl becomes a Pandora or not depends on her own choice.
However, there are those with the will to fight,
who couldn't become Pandora because of an incompatible body.
E-Pandora offers an alternative for ordinary girls who don't have Stigma compatibility,
by letting them become Pandoras through an artificial Stigma implant.
See, the fragrance and flavour are in harmony.
It's certainly an epoch-defining project.
However, the Chevalier adviser on Nova issues, Dr. Aoi Gengo,
You mean their past?
Yes!
You should come with me next time!
strongly opposes the project, calling it "immoral".
Aoi Gengo
Have you approved it too, Dr. Aoi?
Please comment.
The project's already been approved.
My personal opinion is meaningless, now.
Even if the project succeeds, can you even call them "Pandoras"?
I see, so Grandfather is...
Continuing on, in other news...
Even if they were artificially created,
it doesn't change the fact that they're Pandoras.
There won't be many girls willing to volunteer for the project,
for the guaranteed status and prestige after they finish their service.
But right now, the number of girls with stigma compatible bodies acknowledged as Pandoras...
...is very low: around 2 percent.
The truth is, most Pandoras lose their lives in battles with Nova,
and everyone knows it.
If girls know that full well, and volunteer anyway,
then they shouldn't be denied simply because they were created artificially.
It could help solve the huge global Pandora shortage.
Really?
Oh, that's the E-Pandora research institute, right?
It seems like this was once a large-scale industrial enterprise institute.
The best place to hide something.
I'm just kidding.
Right...
Stigma memory area format.
Trigger set complete.
Buffering mode is ready for activation.
Elite system engaged.
Texture scan preparation complete.
Target preparation complete.
Switch normal.
Begin scan.
We'll install Volt Texture data in all of you.
Volt Texture data?
I see...
This institute uses...
This has better cold protection and heat insulation than the Genetics version.
W-What's with all the people?
Many great Pandoras like you,
were summoned here from Genetics around the world.
Didn't you know?
Oh, right! Yeah...
Yo, Chiffon!
It's been a while!
Since the World Carnival, right?
Yeah, but you really beat me that time.
You haven't met, right?
This is Roxanne Elipton from America Genetics, US.
The "Immortal Roxanne"...
You can call me that.
I-Immortal?
It means she's a zombie.
What?
You're boastful as always.
Who's she?
Charles Bonaparte from France Genetics, L.D.T.,
with the alias "Tempest Phoenix".
Satellizer!
It's been a while, Satellizer.
Cathy Lockheart!
Wow, you're...
Godspeed of the East, we fought in lesbian nude boobs!
Lesbian?
Don't ask...
She's just being silly.
65 cm under, 83 cm top, difference 18 cm.
Bra size D65.
Geez, how are you so precise?
That's Youlia Moonberg from German Genetics, Panzer,
with the alias "Maverick of Walpurgis".
Look!
The five strongest in the world!
Five strongest in the world?
Along with "Chiffon the Unmatched Monster",
those are the top five third-years in all of genetics.
Elizabeth-san is ranked just below us.
I fought Holly Rose from England Genetics, UK,
in the World Carnival, and she's stronger than me.
Holly's not here?
Now that you mention it, I don't see her.
Attention Pandoras:
Please test equipping your Volt Texture in the assigned fitting rooms.
In the case of an error,
please come to the support centre immediately.
Volt Texture equip.
Yeah, I like this one!
I'm more comfortable naked.
Volt Texture equip.
All right!
Your underwear texture is indecent as usual.
Hey!
Have you changed, Satellizer-san?
It's quite comfortable.
What's wrong, second year?
I can't wear a skirt this short!
I'm the chief executive of the E-Pandora Project, Scarlet Ohara.
The E-Pandora project's goal is the artificial production of Stigma-compatible bodies.
For that, we require data from all of you: Original Pandoras.
Once this project gets on track,
we won't need to rely on bodies that are compatible with Stigma,
which is an extremely rare natural phenomenon.
Until now, you've had to shoulder this burden alone.
But the time has come for all girls to share the burden!
Something's wrong.
There are still rumours the project's chief executive is in conflict with Aoi Gengo.
And there are rumours that they did a lot of shady work before they got Chevalier's approval.
Putting it bluntly: They were probably experimenting on humans.
Is that it?
I might as well ask... Who are you?
E-Pandoras.
The products of human experimentation!
