Freezing

Satellizer, having caught a cold, sneezes and accidentally stops her Volt Texture. Kazuya is seen looking on, having been beaten half to death by Ganessa. Lana suddenly enters, apparently starting to play with Satellizer's body. However, she notices Kazuya showing more interest in Satellizer and disables her own Volt Texture. Ganessa and Arthur become jealous, and Ganessa also disables her Volt Texture with the intention of attacking Lana. However, it appears that they have all caught Satellizer's cold...

In the public baths, Arnett, Cleo, Attia and Ingrid ask Satellizer if she has already invited Kazuya to her room. When she reveals she hasn't as she does not know what to do next, the girls sneak Kazuya inside and decides "to teach" Satellizer. However, Elizabeth arrives and chastises the girls for trying to teach Satellizer since their first time of inviting their Limiters weren't perfect either. As they ask Elizabeth to teach them properly, Chiffon arrives and falls on the floor laughing over the girls' talk while an embarrassed Kazuya is ignored.

The girls are having their body measurement check-up, where Lana shows her ability to correctly guess the breast size of the girls by groping them as she demonstrates it on Kaho, Ganessa, Satellizer, Chiffon and Ticy. Attia, who has an inferiority complex due to her smaller breasts, refuses to join until Chiffon decides to do the "examination" on her. Unknown to the girls, the boys are secretly listening from outside.

In a battle royale to determine the rankings of second-year Pandoras, Satellizer el Bridget, The Untouchable Queen, is the strongest-ranked Pandora. During class, physics teacher and training instructor Yumi Kim talks about her experiences as a Pandora during the last war against the Nova, in which one battle against a powerful Nova was ultimately won thanks to the sacrifice of her squadmate, Kazuha Aoi. Meanwhile, Kazuha's brother, Kazuya, is transported to the West Genetic Academy by student president Chiffon Fairchild and is given a rundown about the nature of Pandoras and Limiters. Kazuya arrives while Satellizer is in a battle against the second-ranked Pandora, Ganessa Roland, Kazuya mistakes Satellizer for his late sister and hugs her, provoking an embarrassing reaction from her and leaving her open to attack.

Because of Kazuya's interference, Satellizer lost the battle against Ganessa, who is now the number-one-ranked second-year Pandora. Kazuya wants to apologize to Satellizer, but Chiffon advises him against it due to Satellizer's aphephobia and her propensity toward attacking anyone who touches her. Soon, Satellizer arrives, and Kazuya tries apologize to her. Despite Kazuya holding her arm, Satellizer does nothing but tell him to leave her alone. Just then, a gloating Ganessa arrives and insults Satellizer, which starts a fight between the two despite Chiffon's warnings. When Satellizer manages to knock her down, Ganessa goes into Pandora Mode and proceeds to beat and torture Satellizer. Kazuya tries to stop the fight, but Ganessa slaps him away which causes Satellizer to react and go into Pandora Mode as well, and defeats Ganessa. Yumi and Medical Officer Eliza Schmitz soon arrive to stop the fight, and they punish both girls with detention.

After introducing himself to his class and having lunch with class representative Kaho Hiiragi, Kazuya spots Satellizer and decides to apologize to her.properly He finds her on the rooftop, and through their conversations, he is glad to find that she is a shy and nice person. Both Arthur and Kaho are shocked to find that Kazuya can talk to her normally. However, third-year Pandora Miyabi and her three Limiters arrive and Miyabi wants to make Kazuya her newest Limiter, but when he rejects her offer, she threatens Kazuya, which prompts Satellizer to raise her weapon against Miyabi. As the two Pandoras fight, Miyabi uses Accelerating Turn to increase her speed, but she is surprised to learn that Satellizer can also use Accelerating Turn. After taking a strike to her face, which angers her, Miyabi orders her Limiters to freeze both Kazuya and Satellizer and beat them. As Miyabi and her Limiters humiliate and sexually harass Satellizer, Kazuya activates his Freezing powers to stop them.

Satellizer, Kazuya and Rana are en route to a Chevalier base in Alaska when they are called for help to defend an oil field from a Type S Nova. As the three of them fight the Nova, their battle is watched by a female scientist. Together with Chiffon, Elizabeth and their Limiters, they destroy the Nova which they discover is a robot Dummy Nova, realizing the whole thing was set up to test their skills. Since the incident at West Genetics, the Nova are coming into their dimension at a shorter time. In response, the Chevalier have approved the E-Pandora Project by Scarlett Oohara, which aims to make young woman who aren't genetically compatible with Stigmata into Pandoras despite oppositions by others including Professor Gengo Aoi, Kazuya's grandfather. At the Alaskan base where the world's top Pandoras have gathered, Chiffon introduces the others to Roxanne Elipton, Charles Bonaparte and Julia Munberk, the top Pandoras of Genetics America, France and Germany respectively. Together with Cassie and Chiffon, the five of them are the top five Pandoras of their generation. After trying their new uniforms, Scarlett explains she gathered the top Pandoras in collecting data to help the E-Pandora Project. When Roxanne comments Scarlett may have performed human experiments before the E-Pandora Project was approved, she is angrily confronted by a trio of E-Pandoras.

Rana is to displeased when she discovers Satellizer and Kazuya will be sharing a room. Later, a mock battle between the Pandoras and E-Pandoras is held to test their strengths. In the first two rounds, E-Pandoras Gina Papleton and Rattle are defeated. Amelia Evans, the strongest E-Pandora, battles Elizabeth in the third round. Despite being badly beaten by Elizabeth, Amelia refuses to give up even when it becomes clear her body cannot take it. It is only after when her friends and Scarlett persuades her that she gives up the fight. The E-Pandoras feel down with their defeat but Amelia cheers up her comrades by telling them they will defeat the Pandoras, who they consider uppity elites due to coming from rich families, while they themselves came from even worse backgrounds. The next day at lunch, Amelia, Jina and Rattle are surprised to find Elizabeth having lunch with them. Elizabeth assures the E-Pandoras they only lost because the regular Pandoras had longer training and experience than them so she and others Pandoras will help them to be strong as the Pandoras, cheering the E-Pandoras. Meanwhile, Secretary Spencer orders Scarlett to administered "Mark IV" despite her opposition.

Scarlett reveals the Mark IV proposition to the E-Pandoras and original Pandoras explaining it to be a nanomachine infusion containing original Pandora data to enhance the E-Pandora's compatibility with their Stigmata. Afterwards, the original Pandoras discuss the timing of Mark IV and its viability. While Satellizer and Rana train competitively, Amelia meets with Scarlett to discuss her concerns about the Mark IV wherein Scarlett reveals that due to the E-Pandoras willing agreement to join the project, they have no say in the matter but somewhat manages to allay Amelia's concerns. Back in training, Satellizer manages to diffuse a confrontation between Rana and Jina over Rattle's eating habits. Amelia confronts Jina about volunteering for the Mark IV but Jina rebukes her stating its only fairly her turn. Later, Jina thanks Satellizer revealing that it's Satellizer's data she'll be using and that'll allow her to defeat Satellizer for their practice match. During the administration, a problem arises before a flash forward to the match wherein Jina appears to be holding her own as shown in a promotional video to the public. Spencer is briefed in Jina's increasing unusual Stigmata activity, but he considers it to be expected and necessary to the point of her being a living corpse for the public's support. At the administration lab, a helpless Jina is shown to be becoming a Nova and consciously aware of it. Desiring to see Amelia and Rattle again, Jina breaks free of the lab while Spencer orders the mobilization of selected Pandora to stop her.
