**[00:16] ---**
Freezing!
**[00:21] ---**
Volt Weapon: deploy!
**[00:30] ---**
Halcyon!
**[00:32] ---**
Double Acceleration!
**[00:36] ---**
Triple Acceleration!
**[00:42] ---**
Quadruple Acceleration!
**[01:00] ---**
That's the Godspeed of the East...
**[01:03] ---**
She is the top-ranked third-year
here at East Genetics:
**[01:09] ---**
Cathy Lockharte.
**[01:40] ---**
*If coming to a halt isn’t allowed*
**[01:43] ---**
*Then let's keep walking like this*
**[01:45] ---**
*"I want you to remember
that you're not alone"*
**[01:51] ---**
*Even if these emotions that can't be shaken*
**[01:54] ---**
*Are laughed at as weakness,*
**[01:57] ---**
*I don't care. I want to
tell you straightforwardly*
**[02:02] ---**
*Keep the faith*
**[02:03] ---**
*Because I made a promise*
**[02:13] ---**
*To live as I am*
**[02:22] ---**
*Inside that gale*
**[02:25] ---**
*Oh, true color*
**[02:28] ---**
*So that clear sky*
**[02:31] ---**
*Can be freely repainted in color*
**[02:37] ---**
*Oh, true color*
**[02:39] ---**
*There is no distinct scenery*
**[02:43] ---**
*Just don't forget*
**[02:48] ---**
*Every happy day*
**[03:13] ---**
Satellizer!
**[03:16] ---**
Are you thinking of Kazuya or something?
**[03:19] ---**
Wh-Why would I spend all
my time thinking of Kazuya?
**[03:23] ---**
I was correct, was I?
**[03:24] ---**
Why would you be?
**[03:27] ---**
Right now, Kazuya is...
**[03:30] ---**
It's an honor!
**[03:31] ---**
Thank you for inviting me to East Genetics.
**[03:34] ---**
Thank *you*.
**[03:36] ---**
I am so grateful that you
accepted my invitation.
**[03:40] ---**
P-Please, I'm your junior.
**[03:42] ---**
You shouldn't speak so politely.
**[03:45] ---**
But...
**[03:46] ---**
She, Cathy Lockharte, is
one of the chosen Pandora.
**[03:50] ---**
She received Sacreds, the
Stigmata of Kazuha Aoi,
**[03:56] ---**
heroine of the Eighth Nova Clash.
**[03:59] ---**
My sister's Stigmata are... inside you?
**[04:06] ---**
When I heard that Kazuha Aoi's younger
brother was at West Genetics,
**[04:12] ---**
I knew I wanted to pay my respects.
**[04:14] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[04:17] ---**
Uh, not at all! I didn't do anything.
**[04:23] ---**
You're the top in your school year...
**[04:26] ---**
"A girl like *you*," you're thinking?
**[04:28] ---**
N-Not at all! Your Quadruple
Acceleration was incredible!
**[04:32] ---**
I never knew someone could move that fast!
**[04:34] ---**
And you got *two* Nova!
**[04:36] ---**
That would never happen in an actual fight.
**[04:40] ---**
There have been no previous examples
**[04:43] ---**
of multiple Nova appearing at once.
**[04:45] ---**
Oh. Oh, yes.
**[04:47] ---**
Also, I plan on retiring.
**[04:55] ---**
You're not going to become a fourth-year
**[04:57] ---**
and join the reserve forces of
Chevalier, the anti-Nova organization?
**[05:02] ---**
I would like to give the Sacreds to
someone fitting and then leave here.
**[05:09] ---**
But why?
**[05:10] ---**
I have... another goal.
**[05:14] ---**
Goal?
**[05:17] ---**
I want to be a novelist.
**[05:20] ---**
What did you just say?
**[05:22] ---**
I want to be a novelist.
**[05:24] ---**
Sorry?
**[05:26] ---**
I want to be a novelist!
**[05:33] ---**
Of course, I think that facing
the grave danger the Nova pose
**[05:36] ---**
is extremely important.
**[05:39] ---**
However... it's been my
dream since I was young.
**[05:46] ---**
Is that strange?
**[05:50] ---**
It's strange, isn't it?
**[05:52] ---**
It's a wonderful dream.
**[05:56] ---**
I look forward to the day I
can read one of your novels.
**[06:06] ---**
Okay!
**[06:14] ---**
And your decision? It hasn't changed?
**[06:20] ---**
I'm very sorry, Miss Milena.
**[06:26] ---**
Well... A novelist, huh?
**[06:30] ---**
It's a shame.
**[06:32] ---**
She is a unique talent, on
par even with your sister.
**[06:40] ---**
Your sister Kazuha Aoi had
20 Stigmata in her body.
**[06:47] ---**
She was the Heroine Pandora, able to
make abstract high-end skills a reality.
**[06:52] ---**
Following your sister Kazuha Aoi's death,
**[06:54] ---**
Cathy Lockharte received some of her Sacreds.
**[06:57] ---**
She was a rare Pandora, with
a 90% compatibility rate.
**[07:02] ---**
In all the Genetics spread across the globe,
**[07:05] ---**
no one else has shown such
a degree of compatibility.
**[07:12] ---**
We thought you would be one of
those to lead the Pandora...
**[07:18] ---**
To lead Chevalier.
**[07:20] ---**
I am not worthy.
**[07:25] ---**
Even entering Genetics was for
my father, who is in politics.
**[07:30] ---**
If he hadn't wanted to
say that I had completed
**[07:34] ---**
the basic three-year curriculum,
then I would never have...
**[07:42] ---**
I am not against combating the Nova.
**[07:46] ---**
Even after I graduate,
**[07:48] ---**
should the Nova appear, I can
fight for my friends and family.
**[07:53] ---**
But continuing on to Chevalier,
**[07:56] ---**
to be praised as one who leads the Pandora...
**[08:00] ---**
That is frightening beyond belief.
**[08:02] ---**
Frightening?
**[08:06] ---**
Because I lack the true
strength of a Pandora.
**[08:12] ---**
The strength of will to face
any threat, unyielding...
**[08:16] ---**
...and a belief in oneself with
a heart resolute as steel.
**[08:21] ---**
Those are the strengths of a Pandora.
**[08:24] ---**
If that's the case, then you--
**[08:26] ---**
No.
**[08:28] ---**
I do not have those things in me.
**[08:31] ---**
Someone has already taught me that.
**[08:35] ---**
"Someone"?
**[08:36] ---**
To be precise, my fight with
her drove that point home.
**[08:43] ---**
One year ago, when Brooks Leevon
was permanently injured...
**[08:48] ---**
Yes.
**[08:49] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[08:52] ---**
Satellizer el Bridget.
**[08:58] ---**
That day, she taught me all too well
**[09:00] ---**
just what a terrible coward I am.
**[09:08] ---**
Cathy...
**[09:10] ---**
The Sacreds...
**[09:12] ---**
My sister's Stigmata. Has someone
other than Cathy received them?
**[09:22] ---**
But she had Sacreds, just
like you. Six of them, even.
**[09:27] ---**
Satelli has them, too?
**[09:33] ---**
However, an exam before she transferred
**[09:35] ---**
showed a compatibility rate of not even 5%.
**[09:40] ---**
So Satelli looked to me like my sister
**[09:44] ---**
because she had the Sacreds grafted onto her?
**[09:48] ---**
Aoi...
**[09:50] ---**
Yes, Ma'am.
**[09:51] ---**
I've heard that you wish
to become her Limiter.
**[09:56] ---**
Y-Yes! I haven't received baptism
yet, but I'm her Limiter.
**[10:00] ---**
Sort of...
**[10:01] ---**
Is that so?
**[10:03] ---**
I've worried about this,
following the incident at East,
**[10:07] ---**
but it seems my fears were groundless.
**[10:09] ---**
The incident at East!
**[10:11] ---**
When Satelli permanently injured a
student who wanted to be her Limiter?
**[10:15] ---**
Did that really happen?
**[10:17] ---**
Yes. But later, the boy who was injured
**[10:22] ---**
acknowledged his fault
for trying to force her.
**[10:26] ---**
Oh. Really?
**[10:30] ---**
If Cathy Lockharte hadn't been there,
**[10:34] ---**
they say he would have been hurt even more.
**[10:38] ---**
If Cathy hadn't been there?
**[10:40] ---**
Satellizer's family runs the El Corporation.
**[10:43] ---**
There are rumors that she used
her influence to get the Sacreds.
**[10:46] ---**
But why fear her?
**[10:54] ---**
To be sure, the difference in
power between us was clear.
**[11:11] ---**
But even when the fight
seemed to have been settled,
**[11:15] ---**
she refused to show any sign of giving up.
**[11:19] ---**
Though beaten again and
again, she came at me.
**[11:22] ---**
Such strong will...
**[11:24] ---**
That, truly, was someone
with a heart of steel,
**[11:27] ---**
one that would be beaten by no one.
**[11:31] ---**
Our reason for fighting-- what
we carried in our hearts--
**[11:37] ---**
was clearly different.
**[11:42] ---**
In the end, another third-year who
showed up finally finished her off.
**[11:48] ---**
But I... I had lost my nerve!
**[11:53] ---**
Someone like me is not fit to
lead comrades to fight the Nova!
**[11:59] ---**
Cathy...
**[12:18] ---**
Under East's jurisdiction?
**[12:19] ---**
Correct.
**[12:21] ---**
The dimensional interference noticed
recently is, sure enough...
**[12:29] ---**
Level 1 Alert! Level 1 Alert!
**[12:33] ---**
All Pandora and Limiters currently on campus!
**[12:37] ---**
Pandora, equip Volt Textures
with powered weaponry
**[12:40] ---**
and Limiters, equip battle uniforms
and assemble in the auditorium.
**[12:44] ---**
Volt Texture: equip.
**[12:44] ---**
Repeating... All Pandora and
Limiters currently on campus!
**[12:49] ---**
Pandora, equip Volt Textures
with powered weaponry
**[12:52] ---**
and Limiters, equip battle uniforms
and assemble in the auditorium.
**[13:02] ---**
This is footage from the ground.
**[13:09] ---**
This is unheard of...
**[13:16] ---**
Four Nova Type S are now
confirmed to have appeared!
**[13:21] ---**
Four of them?
**[13:24] ---**
Target 1 has entered the defensive line.
**[13:26] ---**
Evacuation of civilians and
noncombatants is 97% complete.
**[13:31] ---**
Intercept attack will begin
in 1 minute 30 seconds.
**[13:55] ---**
All units were destroyed.
**[13:58] ---**
Sure enough, conventional firepower...
**[14:01] ---**
Can't even slow them down, huh?
**[14:09] ---**
Yes?
**[14:13] ---**
Understood.
**[14:16] ---**
A message from general headquarters.
**[14:19] ---**
You all are to move out and serve
as reserve Pandora and Limiters.
**[14:32] ---**
Kazuya!
**[14:34] ---**
Did you hear?
**[14:36] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:36] ---**
Four Nova at once... Just what's going on?!
**[14:40] ---**
Do you think they'll come here?
**[14:41] ---**
L-Let 'em come!
**[14:44] ---**
If Ganessa and I move out together,
**[14:48] ---**
we can get one or two Nova!
**[14:50] ---**
Now hold on!
**[14:51] ---**
Ganessa is a second-year.
**[14:53] ---**
There's no way they'd
mobilize the second-years.
**[14:56] ---**
We don't know that! East
doesn't have enough firepower,
**[15:01] ---**
so even Pandora not assigned to
Chevalier were ordered to move out!
**[15:06] ---**
Not assigned to Chevalier, meaning...
**[15:08] ---**
The second- and third-years, of course!
**[15:12] ---**
Then *she* is...
**[15:17] ---**
We will reach the mission area in 15 minutes.
**[15:20] ---**
All personnel, prepare for descent.
**[15:31] ---**
Chevalier Platoons 3, 7 and
8 have completed deployment.
**[15:36] ---**
Intercept attack will begin in 180 seconds.
**[15:42] ---**
Target 1 continues to move.
**[15:52] ---**
Decoys are now in place.
**[15:57] ---**
Strikers are now in place.
**[16:06] ---**
Finishers are now in place.
**[16:09] ---**
Operation commencing in ten seconds.
**[16:14] ---**
Five... Four... Three...
**[16:17] ---**
Two... One...
**[16:19] ---**
Decoys, spread out!
**[16:22] ---**
Get it flustered enough for
the Strikers to get up there!
**[16:34] ---**
Freezing!
**[16:36] ---**
Now! Strikers, launch a direct attack!
**[16:40] ---**
Expose the core!
**[16:44] ---**
Finishers, destroy the core!
**[16:47] ---**
Quadruple Acceleration!
**[16:51] ---**
*We're counting on you, Cathy Lockharte!*
**[16:55] ---**
She's got it!
**[16:56] ---**
I'm finishing this!
**[17:02] ---**
Miss Cathy!
**[17:09] ---**
It timed its movement to
my Quadruple Acceleration?
**[17:15] ---**
That monster!
**[17:19] ---**
Decoys, again! Disrupt the target!
**[17:23] ---**
"High-Energy Alert"
**[17:24] ---**
Picking up high energy
readings from Target 1!
**[17:27] ---**
It can't be!
**[17:39] ---**
The Nova released a beam?
**[17:42] ---**
Another first...
**[17:45] ---**
This type is entirely different
**[17:47] ---**
from those that have previously appeared.
**[17:51] ---**
Incoming message from GHQ.
**[17:52] ---**
West has been ordered to mobilize.
**[17:58] ---**
So it's true-- the personnel at East
isn't enough to stop them, huh?
**[18:03] ---**
They're making our fourth-years move out?
**[18:05] ---**
There are *four* Nova. That's a lot.
**[18:08] ---**
Saying this may make me sound like a coward,
**[18:11] ---**
but I'm glad I'm a third-year.
**[18:13] ---**
It's so scary...
**[18:17] ---**
What is occurring?
**[18:19] ---**
Everyone looks anxious, and is
speaking in whispered tones.
**[18:26] ---**
What are you angry about?
**[18:29] ---**
She's frustrated.
**[18:31] ---**
Miss Student Council President!
Miss Vice President!
**[18:34] ---**
Frustrated at her own situation, able to
do nothing in this state of emergency.
**[18:38] ---**
State of emergency?
**[18:41] ---**
Do you not know what's going on right now?
**[18:45] ---**
Correct!
**[18:49] ---**
What will you do if we're
ordered to move out?
**[18:52] ---**
What do you mean?
**[18:54] ---**
I mean, would you pair up
and fight with Satellizer?
**[18:59] ---**
You haven't received baptism, right?
**[19:03] ---**
Oh. You don't need the Ereinbar Set,
**[19:08] ---**
so you could pair up with anyone.
**[19:14] ---**
I will fight... with Satelli.
**[19:18] ---**
She's a special person.
**[19:22] ---**
Special?
**[19:24] ---**
What do you mean?
**[19:27] ---**
The day I transferred here...
**[19:30] ---**
...Satelli looked like my sister to me.
**[19:39] ---**
Your sister? You mean the Heroine Pandora...
**[19:43] ---**
...Kazuha Aoi?
**[19:46] ---**
Yes.
**[19:49] ---**
Now I know why.
**[19:53] ---**
Satelli received Sacreds...
**[19:56] ---**
My sister's Stigmata.
**[19:59] ---**
S-So the reason you wanted
to be her Limiter...
**[20:03] ---**
...is because she was like your sister.
**[20:09] ---**
I didn't even notice it myself.
**[20:25] ---**
My eyes!
**[20:26] ---**
I can't see!
**[20:30] ---**
Get the medics out here!
How many? All of them!
**[20:41] ---**
Target 1 is repeatedly performing
some kind of unknown attack.
**[20:46] ---**
What is this?!
**[20:49] ---**
Th-They're fusing!
**[20:51] ---**
It's penetrating via the point of contact,
**[20:53] ---**
fusing with the Pandora's Stigmata framework!
**[20:55] ---**
The Volt Texture is being neutralized!
**[20:59] ---**
Miss Cathy!
**[21:04] ---**
*Must get away... Quickly!*
**[21:09] ---**
Ma'am!
**[21:18] ---**
Quadruple Acceleration!
**[21:23] ---**
*It's no good. From deep inside my body...*
**[21:28] ---**
*...my will is being stolen!*
**[21:35] ---**
Miss Cathy!
**[21:45] ---**
*Satelli received Sacreds...*
**[21:47] ---**
*My sister's Stigmata.*
**[21:50] ---**
*S-So the reason you wanted
to be her Limiter...*
**[21:55] ---**
*...is because she was like your sister.*
**[22:17] ---**
*In a future that will break
down, I want to protect you*
**[22:24] ---**
*In a world of darkness, become the
star that will illuminate tomorrow*
**[22:38] ---**
*On lonely, anxious nights, even
if it seems you'll lose hope*
**[22:41] ---**
*Remember that I'll always be there*
**[22:45] ---**
*Don't lose it, that spark that only you have*
**[22:48] ---**
*Try it over and over, and
then overcome, yeah yeah!*
**[22:51] ---**
*Emerge from that maze in your heart*
**[22:55] ---**
*Because surely it makes a person stronger*
**[23:01] ---**
*One more chance*
**[23:05] ---**
*With you, I want to find a
future that gives off light*
**[23:12] ---**
*O tears that spill forth, become
the wind that will dry them*
**[23:19] ---**
*That's right, none of us can live alone*
**[23:25] ---**
*Stand up for you*
**[23:26] ---**
*All of us, break free of
the darkness of solitude*
**[23:31] ---**
*Don't look back again*
**[23:40] ---**
*Giving birth to the Pandora meant*
**[23:41] ---**
*planting the Nova's framework upon humanity.*
**[23:41] ---**
*Four Nova have appeared.*
**[23:44] ---**
*The Pandora that fused at East, eh?*
**[23:47] ---**
*Next time: "Nova Form."*
**[23:50] ---**
"Watch again next time!"
"Margaret is the best!"
