Freezing: Family Bonds

Chapter 1

Authors Notes: Hello everyone and welcome to one of my new stories. I have loved Freezing for a while now and since the manga has been starting back up and the raws are getting really interesting I wanted to write a story that's been in my head. **WARNING THIS STORY WILL HAVE MAJOR SPOILERS**. The story is going to focus on Kazuya and his family, mostly his aunts. I'm going to start it around Chapters 140-14 of the manga where his aunts are first introduced. It's going to have both the same and new things happen in the manga as well as I am going to change up Kazuya's past a bit so it has some AU aspects as well as the cannon. I have seen the raws and read detailed summaries about them by someone who can read Japanese so I will be drawing from those as well, so if you don't want to be spoiled or are just not caught up or whatever this story is not for you. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy. Also this will not be affecting my other main story Akame ga Kill: Plan B as I will be working on both of these so if you're following me, Thanks and don't worry they are hopefully both be updated regularly so long as life and school cooperate with me.

This day had turned into a nightmare as what was supposed to be a training exercise had turned into an all-out battle with the Nova. New training dummies that were supposed to simulate real Nova better had actually turned into real Nova and were spawning new types of Nova and many people were dying. It was sheer chaos and everyone was being affected by the Nova and the strange phenomenon they seemed to be creating. Of course Kazuya Aoi and Satellizer L. Bridget were no exception to the chaos and they seemed to be in the thick of it.

Satellizer and Kazuya had just experienced this strange phenomenon a little bit earlier. Satellizer was hallucinating fighting Kazuya's dead sister Kazuha and during her hallucination she had almost killed Kazuya. Thorough her sadness and strength though she was able to awaken a new power and saved Kazuya's life. This didn't get them out of trouble because while they ran into allies they had also run into very dangerous enemies that have put them into their most dire situation yet.

Roxanne had been brainwashed and then killed as she got blown in half. The rest of them, Rana, Kazuya, Satellizer, Arnett, and Charles, had all been injured due to their prior battles and their current battle with a strange and powerful new enemy.

This enemy was most defiantly a Nova but one that they have never seen before. The most startling thing about this Nova was that it looked like a human. In fact other than its eyes it looked like a human women. Even more frightening was the fact that it defeated Roxanne who was one of the most powerful Pandora in the world. Satellizer had also unleashed a powerful attack that no one had ever seen before with her newfound powers but still the Nova regenerated and showed its human form.

Everyone was scared and felt almost hopeless against this Nova. It was now standing in the middle of everyone. Everyone was injured, Satellizer was still recovering on the ground and Rana and Arnett were engaging the enemy. Then the Nova did something that frightened everyone, it spoke. All it said was, "Let's play".

Arnett and Lana began to attack it but it had a powerful barrier of some kind that deflected every blow. It then looked over at Arnett and in a spilt second she started to bleed as a grievous injury was on her stomach.

Rana looked over and shouted, "Arnett!"

She got angry and screamed, "Dammit, dam all of this!" She began to attack but the Nova put out its hands and blew Rana's arms clean off and she fell to the ground in pain.

Kazuya shouted, "Rana, Arnett!" He then put out his hand toward the Nova and yelled, "Freezing!" Kazuya was a limiter a support unit for Pandora. Limiters were able to pair with a Pandora through a baptism and form an Ereinbar Set that allowed the limiter to cast freezing on Nova so that the Pandora could fight them on equal grounds. Kazuya was different as he had not been baptized and was still able to cast freezing. Moreover his freezing was extremely powerful.

The freezing area hit the Nova which drew its attention off Rana and Arnett and onto Kazuya.

Satellizer shouted, "KAZUYA," in fear as the Nova turned towards Kazuya the person she cared most about in the world.

The Nova looked at Kazuya and in sent shivers down his spine. The Nova looked interested in this new person who was challenging it. It said the same thing it had been saying, "Let's play," and it began to head towards Kazuya. The freezing seemed to have no effect as it inched closer and closer to Kazuya.

It was almost on top of Kazuya who was afraid, afraid that this was surely the end. He looked over at the girl he called her partner Satellizer. He looked at her and thought, "Stella I wish I could have said more to you. Protect you. Love you more. I'm sorry this looks like the end." He then smiled at her and closed his eyes as the Nova raised its arm towards Kazuya and he prepared for the end.

Then in an instant a flash of light came between Kazuya and the Nova and crashed into the ground with a bang.

Kazuya's eyes shot open and he saw a girl with pink hair and a giant hammer in front of him. Kazuya and everyone else there was speechless at the arrival of this newcomer.

The girl then spoke with a big smile, "I'm afraid I cannot let you play with Kazuya, but you can play with me instead."

Kazuya became even more shocked as the girl had just said his name. The problem was Kazuya could have sworn he had seen this girl before but couldn't remember why she seemed so familiar. She was obviously a Pandora as shown by her attire and weapon but just who in the world was she.

The Nova had jumped back and got some distance between Kazuya and the girl. The girl then turned around to Kazuya with a smile and said, "It's okay now Kazuya, don't worry everything is fine."

Kazuya spoke up, "Wait, what do you mean, how do you know my name?!"

The girl just smiled then turned around back at the Nova and lifted her hammer in the air. It began to glow in a bright light that radiated to everyone. Then to everyone's shock it healed there injuries. Arnett and Rana got off the ground feeling completely fine. Charles arm had grown back as well. Satellizer had healed as well and rushed over to Kazuya, "Are you okay Kazuya?!"

"Yeah I'm fine," he spoke and was about to continue when he heard a familiar voice from behind.

"I don't believe it, I really am immortal," the voice of Roxanne sang to everyone's disbelief. She had been only a pair of legs a moment ago and now she stood there perfectly fine as if nothing happened, though now she was completely naked. Everyone felt a bit of joy seeing her alive, but none so much as Charles as she lunged herself at Roxanne and shouted and was crying, "You scared me you stupid zombie lady!"

Roxanne was about to speak but just patted Charles on the head and said, "Yeah I'm alright now."

Everyone smile at the scene but then got put back into reality as they looked back to the girl and the Nova.

"Kazuya what happened?" Satellizer said.

"I don't know, but it looks like she was the cause of it," Kazuya said as she began to look familiar.

The girl looked back and waved and Kazuya. Confused by the familiarity Stella asked, "Kazuya who in the world is that?"

Kazuya finally remembered why this girl seemed so familiar. He had seen her in a photo album belonging to his grandfather. The picture was titled "Pandora of Lab 13" and he had suspected it was a project his grandfather was a part of. He then spoke, "I don't know, but I do know that she is somehow related to my grandfather's research."

The girl was still waving at Kazuya when in a flash the Nova was right next to her about to deliver an attack.

Kazuya saw this and screamed, "LOOK OUT!"

The girl turned to see the oncoming attack to late as a huge explosion happened by the attack and pushed up a huge amount of dust.

The group looked on in horror as they thought the girl was taken out in the same way they were. But then the dust cleared and it revealed that the girl was unharmed without a scratch on her. She smiled and in one quick blow she swung her hammer and instantly killed the Nova.

Everyone still in shocked witnessed her kill the thing that all of them combined couldn't lay a scratch on defeated in a single blow. Who on earth was this girl.

Stella began to speak, "Who are yo…" but was stopped as Kazuya rose up and began walking towards the girl.

"Kazuya be careful we don't know who or what she is," Stella said in concern.

"It's okay, because if she didn't show up we would all be dead," Kazuya said in assurance and looked back at the girl. "I know who you are; you're a Pandora with lab 13 right? You're an ally right?"

The girl just continued to smile and said, "Ally, what are you talking about? We are a family, right Kazuya?!"

Kazuya looked confused but then three more lights came crashing behind the girl and from them three more girls appeared. The first had long blonde hair, the second had purple hair, and the third was someone Kazuya recognized. She had blonde hair and her name was Lucy, she was a member of the group called the Valkyries who Kazuya's cousin Ouka was on. Kazuya and the rest of the people here had worked with the Valkyries and were shocked to see Lucy.

"Lucy, why are you here, what happened to Ouka and the other Valkyries?" Kazuya said with concern.

Lucy just looked back and said, "The Novas have been destroyed."

They all looked in disbelief as it seemed that she was stating that these four girls had eliminated the entire new powerful humanoid Nova that appeared during this battle that they were having trouble defeating.

Kazuya's train of thought was interrupted as the pink hair girl approached the blonde hair girl and said, "Nee-san, nee-san, look it's Kazuya," she said pointing towards him.

The blonde hair girl turned towards Kazuya and walked towards him. Kazuya looked up in confusion as she began to reach her hands towards his face. Then everyone was in for a shock as she hugged Kazuya with a smile and put him into her breast.

Kazuya was confused but as he was embrace by her he felt warm. This feeling he had was warm and caring and it felt very familiar to him, it felt like home. What was this he had no idea why this girl he thought he had never met before felt so familiar.

Satella and Rana were in shock as this stranger began to hug the boy they liked. Stella spoke, "Okay Kazuya, get away from her."

The girl hugging Kazuya hearing this held him tighter and glared at Stella and Rana. Her look and body language was in a very protective stance between them and Kazuya. Kazuya was finding it hard to breath in the girl's large breast and began to struggle.

Stella and Rana got mad at this as they both saw this women holding and suffocating who they both thought was their man.

Stella and Rana went to grab Kazuya away from her and said, "We said to get away from him!"

Before they could get a hold of Kazuya she turned so that they missed him and they fell to the ground. They both got up and were about to try it again when they were stopped dead in their tracks by the women's glare. This time however the glare was absolutely terrifying as it clearly said, "If you try and touch him again I will end you."

Stella and Rana took a huge gulp and knew that this glare was not a bluff. The other Pandora looked at this show with, amusement, curiosity and pity. But what they wanted to know most of all is who the hell were these girls.

Meanwhile Kazuya was struggling for dear life as he began to feel his last breaths fade away. "Is this really how I am going to die?" he thought as the color in his face turned blue.

The pink hair girl came up to the blonde and placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "Nee-san let go you are suffocating poor Kazuya."

The women looked down in concern and flipped Kazuya around. He was still in her embrace as now her arms were around his chest and the back of his head was in her cleavage.

Kazuya took the deepest breath in his life and he began to pant. The girl looked very concerned with guilt but when Kazuya's face turned back to its normal color and his breathing became normal she smiled and put him deeper into her embrace.

Kazuya looked up still very much confused at this smiling woman that was holding him. He began to speak, "Um…can you let go of me? I am a bit confused at what is going on here."

The girl looked down at Kazuya and simply smiled at him and shook her head no. Kazuya dropped his head in disbelief that this woman just said no so easily. He then looked over the three other girls. Lucy and the purple haired women looked emotionless and the pink haired one was just smiling at Kazuya and the women she called Nee-san.

"Well can you at least tell me what is going on? You guys just came out of nowhere defeated all the Novas and then put he in a bear hug. You also seem to know my name, why is that?" Kazuya said with genuine interest.

No one spoke, but then they heard a helicopter in the sky and a voice come from above, "I can explain that Kazuya!"

They turned to see the helicopter touchdown and a familiar face exit it. It was Kazuya's grandfather Gengo Aoi the man who created the Pandora.

"These are the Legendary Pandora. They are hundreds if not thousands of times stronger than normal Pandora. Furthermore Kazuya you share with them your own flesh and blood. They are your family!"

Everyone was surprised at what he just said, "Legendary Pandora? Thousands of times stronger?" But none were more shocked than Kazuya.

He broke out of the woman's embrace and turned towards his grandfather and said, "What the hell are you talking about? Legendary Pandora? And they're my family, what are you saying grandfather?"

His grandfather placed his hands on his shoulders and said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but first let's get everyone out of here, okay?"

Kazuya looked into his grandfather's eyes. They were serious and he wasn't messing around. "Fine," Kazuya said. He started walking towards one of the two helicopters. The Legendary Pandora followed them to the helicopter without saying a word. Stella and Rana were about to speak up and go with Kazuya when Dr. Aoi turned and said, "I'm sorry but I need to speak to my grandson in private please use the other helicopter so you can get to safety. I promise I will let you see Kazuya when this is through."

Kazuya looked back at those two in concern and nodded saying that it was alright. Stella and Rana nodded back and went to the other helicopter with the others. Every single person who was there was just wondering what the hell was going on.

Once in the helicopter they took off back towards West Genetics. Kazuya was in the first helicopter with his grandfather and the Legendary Pandora. It was an awkward silence which would have been fine for Kazuya had his seat neighbors not been so close. The pink haired girl was to his left and the blonde to his right and they had their arms wrapped around his and they were smiling.

Kazuya was embarrassed as they were both very pretty and the fact that they were too close to him didn't help. He turned to the pink haired girl who saved his life and started to speak, "ummmm…well…"

"Windy May," she said.

"What?" Kazuya said.

She pointed at herself, "Windy May," she then pointed at the girl to his right, "Cassandra," she then pointed at the purple hair girl to her left, "Teslad," and then she pointed to Lucy, "and you already know Lucy."

Kazuya nodded as he now understood these to be their names. "Um…Windy May, can I ask why you and Cassandra are so close?" he said a bit embarrassed.

"What's wrong Kazuya are you uncomfortable?" Windy May asked.

"Umm, well, it's just kind of embarrassing," Kazuya said.

"Well we are a family so it's okay," Windy May said with and smile.

Kazuya then looked at Cassandra and then Lucy. He had then remembered what she had said the day before. Lucy spoke the names of his sister Kazuha as well as Windy May, Teslad, and Cassandra and called them his sisters and him her brother. Then his grandfather had said that these girls were his family.

"Sisters," Kazuya thought, "Is that even possible?" Kazuya thought to himself and looked over at his grandfather who had a smile on seeing Kazuya surrounded by these girls. "What's going on grandfather?" He wanted to speak but he would wait until they landed to do so.

They had landed in a block that was separate from the rest of the school. Kazuya wondered why they were here as he began walking out of the helicopter. He went to his grandfather and asked, "What the heck was that all about? What do you mean when you call those girls my family?"

His grandfather smiled, "So you don't remember Kazuya."

"What?" Kazuya said confused.

He put his hands on his grandson and said, "All in due time Kazuya, for now you should get some rest, and you've been through a lot today. I got some business to take care of from all this mess; I promise I will talk to you tomorrow, but for now just rest."

He began to walk away and Kazuya shouted, "But wait…goddamit!" Kazuya knew that it was pointless to try and make his grandfather tell him anything and just gave up for now. He was tired and thought sleeping would probably be the best option right now. He wanted to see how Satella and the others but would have to wait until tomorrow.

A woman who was a Pandora under his grandfather came to him and asked him to follow her to his room for the night. Kazuya simply agreed and started to follow her. He looked back at his alleged family who were waving at him for a good night. He sighed and pondered, "Are they really supposed to be my family?"

He got to his room and then crashed on the bed after changing out of his combat uniform. He looked up at the celling, "I hope the others are okay. What the hell is happening? First that strange phenomenon happened with Satella, then those Novas appeared and now the Legendary Pandora. Grandfather what the hell are you up to?" He stared at the celling for a while and pondered and then decided it was pointless to worry about it anymore tonight and decided the best thing to do was sleep and have his grandfather tell him everything in the morning.

The next day

It was morning at West Genetics and everyone was recovering from the Nova Clash that had happened yesterday. Kazuya had gone to sleep with many questions in his mind about a great many things, but today he would have his grandfather explain all that happened.

He opened his eyes and was staring at the celling but was confused, "Why does my body feel so heavy?" He looked down his body, blushed, and found the answer to his question.

Four girls were laying in his bed cuddling and laying on him. He took a double take to make sure he still wasn't dreaming. He was not, this was most certainly real. To his left were Windy May, who was hugging his arm and resting her head on his shoulder, and Teslad who was holding his hand and was laying just underneath Windy May. To his right were Cassandra who was doing the same thing as Windy May with his right shoulder and Lucy copying Teslad.

Kazuya's mind went blank for a second and then he came to turned bright red and screamed in shock as he quickly brought his hands out of their grips and screamed, "What the hell are you all doing in my room?!"

All the girls awoke with sleepy eyes as they rubbed them awake. None of them however seemed the least bit concerned that they were in Kazuya's bed.

Windy May yawned and stretched her arms and said, "What's wrong Kazuya?" Her and the other girls just stared at Kazuya as if he was the crazy one and were wondering why he was in a panic.

"What's wrong," Kazuya questioned, "How did you get into my room, actually why are you in my room and why are you in my bed?"

He looked around as all the girls seemed puzzled. Windy May had the same smile she always had on while Teslad and Lucy had their same emotionless expressions. Cassandra was the one who was staring at him the most watching his every move.

Windy May then chimed in, "I don't see what the problem is Kazuya."

"Don't see the problem," Kazuya said confused, "The problem is you barged into my room without permission, no, the problem is you're in my room in the first place, wait no, the problem is you're all girls," he shook his head and rubbed it with both hands, "I don't know, don't any of you find it kind of awkward that you're all in my bed?"

All the girls looked at each other and kind of shrugged off the questions. "No I guess not, why should we Kazuya?" Windy May asked him.

Kazuya was at a loss for words as his jaw was open with disbelief. "Why you…what the heck…" he began to speak but then Cassandra started to talk. This was the first time Kazuya had seen her talk.

"Kazuya…" she grabbed his head and pulled it into her breast, "go ahead and drink."

Kazuya's face turned an even brighter shade of red as he was smothered by breast. The other girls just watched thinking nothing wrong was going on. "What the hell does she mean by that?" Kazuya thought as embarrassed as one could be.

"Cassandra, that's enough," a voice came from the door, "he doesn't need it anymore." The voice was revealed to be Kazuya's grandfather who was smiling in the doorway.

Cassandra loosened her grip on Kazuya and he pulled away as he looked at his grandfather and said, "Grandfather what is going on with them?"

Dr. Aoi laughed and said, "I guess you don't remember after all, I know you were young but there are certain things you should remember. I told you they are your family Kazuya."

"You keep saying that, but I don't understand," Kazuya said.

"There your aunts Kazuya. You might not remember it but they all helped raise you when you were little. Especially Cassandra there, she took care of you pretty much by herself until you were two."

He turned to his so called aunts who were all giving him a smile. Even Lucy and Teslad who he had seen showed no noticeable emotions had a slight smile on their face that would usually be impossible to see.

"Aunts…and they raised me." Kazuya thought as he began to have flashed of his past. He closed his eyes and opened them again. "Did I really forget them?" Kazuya thought as a million more questions came to him as he would start to find out more about his past and the world he lived in.
