Hello! It's me Jack, here bringing you the Symphogear fic. It will include some Kamen Rider elements!

...Sacrifice...
Sometimes, that kind of method is necessary. It's not only for rituals, a fragrant offerings to God. People does this, in order to seek redemption of what they had caused in the time they had realized the outcome. Or you should say, to pay up for their sins.
Sometimes, it is not just for redemption. "Love", one of the reasons why they did that. To protect their loved ones.
But sometimes they are just selfish, they did not think through of the aftermath. The heart, the feelings of their lovers...Broken.
...How devastated.
"Why humans...are so simple minded? ...Their ways of thinking are so, lacking. Disturbing. It disgusted me, you know what I'm saying?"
Under the gloomy night, dozens of tears are dropping from the deep black clouds, two figures can be seen on the middle of destruction of the city. They are fighting. One black figure with gold lines is wielding a golden sword. He gave off an aura like a dark emperor.
The other black figure with white lines, is using his fists to fight. That body's figure looks...like an Angel.
They both are wearing a strange belts. One has the golden colored, and the latter is black and white.
Evading a horizontal slash by ducking, he performed an uppercut on his opponents helmet. But the person didn't stumble, only his head is facing up to the sky while giving a slight groan. At that moment, the other black figure pulled his fist and quickly launched it on his enemy's chest.
But at that instant-
"!"
"Fuuu...One point for that, buddy."
The person said in mocking tone behind his helmet as his head slowly tilted down. The latter's eyes opened in shock behind his own helmet, because his fist is blocked by the flat side of the blade.
"Quite an attempt but still..."
The golden emperor gave a headbutt, making that angel staggered. Seeing this as an opportunity, the emperor quickly pulled his sword, and jabbed his stomach.
That golden blade pierced through his suit. His eyes bulged out in an intense pain. Not only just piercing his organs, but he could feel that the sword is burning his internal organs.
"Guaagh...!"
He coughed a lot of blood in his helmet, dirtying his visor with red blood, completely blinding him and the blood's flowing down to his chin. Soon, the white lines glowed in blue and instantly, his armor vanished in second. The lines are returning back to his belt.
Bloods dripping down from his stomach and chin, his shirt is dyed red and his expression is fatal due the extreme pain on and inside his body.
The other person then, merely tilted his head before gave a pat on his shoulder. Maybe to warn him about something-
"Gaah...!"
He screamed in pain as the dark emperor suddenly pulled his sword out of his gut, the blade is dyed in red full of blood. Feeling no more strength on his body, his body is motioned backwards. But before his body could touch the ground, someone grabbed him very tight by the hair. The figure pitifully and slowly shook his head.
"...Look at you, pal. No really, look AT yourself. You...are an idiot coward, I offered you a single choice. A simple and a goddamn easy choice. You could became a God, you could became a king, you could had ruled this tainted world with me! AND YOU JUST FUCKING REFUSE LIKE THAT!? I'M SERIOUSLY-...!" The guy stopped in mid-words as he slowly exhaled and continues in low voice.
"I'm seriously disappointed and ashamed of you...buddy. We could led the people and the world together, showing them a better ways and beautiful life...But you, the cursed idiot hero, don't want to. Because of this, because of that, and because of YOU! Your precious friends are lost...!"
"...I-"
"-Look around you! Pointless deaths are crawling around on this world, it's because you refused the choice I gave to you. And let me ask you something...Why?" He said in slight desperate tone as he looked straight on his victim's eyes.
His vision is getting to blur, and his stomach are hurt but he could still lift his mouth.
"It's...wrong, you're wrong...you were sacrificing other people and used them for your own good...If we're letting you became-"
"-Those WERE necessary for mankind."
"...No, you are-"
"You don't understand, I don't think you will understand my pain, my ambition...All of it. Despite that we're the same, you and I..."
Gone with all the mocking and loud tone, he said those words in full sadness. Like he could cry at any time. Then, he released his grip and letting the boy fell down the wet ground on his face.
"Haa...I always taught you were better than this. I guess I was wrong huh...?" He muttered before walking away while dragging his sword. "If you don't wanna unleashed it, guess you leave me no choice then...I shall force you out."
The boy then weakly gazed at the person who has been stopped beside a young girl, unconsciously laying on the ground. Immediately, he widened his eyes in fear as he saw him, slowly lifting his sword reversely, intending to stab the girl.
"H-Hi, bi..."
Tears began to form on his eyes, he desperately and slowly lifted his left hand, trying to reach her while calling her name.
He wanted to get up and save her. But the pain won't let him to do that. Each and every time he wanted to move a muscle, it's very aching. Especially his wounded and bloodied stomach.
It's all my fault...It's all my fault...It's all my fault. It's all my fault. It's all my fault!It's all my fault!It's all my fault...! If only I had more power-...No, if only I listened to him! This should not be happening! I...I...
STAB!
At that moment, crimson blood is slowly flowing on the wet ground...
"...HIBIKIIIIIIIIII!"
Few Years Ago, Before Judgement Day...
Prologue:
"It" comes to you...
? POV
Today is a normal day for most of the citizen. The sun is now setting down. Everyone is going back home from schools or works.
Yeah. Back to their home where they could spending the times until night with their families. And, there's probably some of them are living without their parents.
I am one of those guys. I'm all alone...
Well, not exactly alone, but sometimes. I'm not a sociable person actually, I never interact with other people, or even my classmates at the school. I am very shy and kind of nervous with the people I didn't know or to the strangers. Even despite that I'm now 13 years old, I still couldn't interact with people normally.
I have this uncomfortable feelings of...insecurity with the others. Some sort of that, I guess.
"This is for messing with our business!"
On some sort of backstreet alley, there are 5 persons. One of them has a short and slight messy haired with a weird dark blue purple color, a pair of purple colored eyes. Wearing a white blazer with grey shirt and black tie, grey trouser. A pair of white shoes with white laces.
Currently, one man that looks like a thug is beating that boy.
That boy, is Hyoko Kashi. And that boy is me.
"Gugh! Ugh! Argh!"
He punched my left cheek, and kneed my stomach two times there. I coughed in deep pain and fell down while clutching my stomach. All of them are laughing as they looked at my state. I bit my lower lip, trying to endure the pain and I could sense and see that my eyes began to watery.
I am hoping that someone would help me. If they're willing too...
Then all of a sudden as I want to get up, he grabbed my by the collar and pinned me on the wall hard, bumped my head on the wall.
-It hurts! It so hurts!
"Aww, look, our little hero is crying!" He laughed while pushing my left cheek with his fist, I winced again and tears began to form on my eyes again. His companions are laughing with no remorse.
"Uu...N-No..."
"Because of you little mate, the chick's gone and you're ruined our fun!"
Once again beat me by launching his knee right on my gut, which I winced and coughed out loud every time he hit me.
"No...! P-Please, I-I'm sorry!"
"Oh you're sorry?"
"Gagh!"
Not accepting my apology, he punched my gut again. I couldn't fight back, or I am so scared to fight...I don't know. I just, I just want someone to save me right now!
I quickly and reflexively shut my eyes just as he lifted his fist and-
"KORAAAAA!"
"?"
A girl shouted not far from us from the side, he turned to the side. That girl's expression is furious, combined that she's placing his fist on both sides of her hips. If anyone looked closely, behind her is another girl and seems to hiding on her back.
"What are you guys doing to my friend over there!?"
"Huh? What's up with this chick?! If you're looking for trouble, I-OUCH!"
A rock was sent flying and bumped his forehead, completely stunned him and released his grip from my collar, I slowly sat down while clutching my pained stomach.
"Take this! And this! And this!"
Three more rocks were being thrown by that girl, the man quickly shielded himself with his arms. Despite that, he can feel the sting on his arms. His henchmen was got hit in crossfire too.
"B-Boss! That girl's dangerous! We should get outta here!"
"Shut up-Ow! S-She's just a gir-"
Then another rock two times bigger than before was landed on his head, stars' circling around and he slowly fell down to the ground.
"B-Boss!"
"T-This is bad, everyone retreat! Retreat!"
Then his friends carried him and dashed off from the alley, leaving a trail of smokes. The girl, in a mid-throwing motion, ran and stop in front of me.
"Aah, they ran away." The girl muttered as she blinked before lowering her hand. "Oh! Are you alright, Kashi-kun?"
She has a dark orange eyes, and light orange hair color. Her short hair is fastened with two red clips on either side of her head. Wearing the Lydian Private Music Academy uniform unlike mine.
Her name is Tachibana Hibiki. You could say that she's my friend during we were just a kid. She is my first friend.
Hibiki extended her hand to help me up and I slowly nodded while grasping her hand and got up.
"Mou, Hibiki you shouldn't just storm in like that."
Another girl came while holding two school bags, she has a short dark green hair and aquamarine eyes, and also wearing the same uniform as Hibiki.
Kohinata Miku, that is her name. She is Hibiki's closest friend. Including me.
"Miku! You saw what they did to Kashi-kun right!?"
"Of course I noticed it, but you should be more careful! What if those thugs' carrying a weapon? That will be dangerous."
"Ah...Y-You may be right. Ehehe..."
Hibiki sheepishly rubbed her hair as Miku sighed and handing her bag to her. Lowering my head and leaning on the wall, I rubbed the tears with my sleeve before opened my mouth timidly.
"Sorry...I-It's actually my fault. I really, shouldn't interfere with their business..." I muttered lowly while slowly scratching my finger. Hearing this, they turned their gaze at me. "...I, before I was helping that girl from...trouble."
"Heh? What are you talking about, Kashi-kun? You've done nothing wrong!"
"E-Eh? But- Ow...!"
Everytime I opened my mouth and talked, my cheek's stinging in pain. I winced and touch my left cheek, there's a small cut on it.
"Are you alright?" Miku asked and I shook my head. Seeing this, she opened her bag and took out a plaster. "Here, let me paste it for you."
As she said that, she put the plaster on my cheek. I flinched and closed an eye.
"There, it's finished."
"Ne, how about we take you home together?"
"Go, home? Together?"
Hibiki nodded excitedly and I lowered my head, slightly pressing my lip together due to small fear.
"Kashi? What is it, is there something wrong?"
"Eh-Aa...N-No, it's nothing..."
Miku asked and I snapped from my thought. I shook my head in negative response as I told them that. They looked at each other for a moment before Hibiki smiled and took my hand.
"Yosh! Come on!"
"H-Hibiki...! W-Wait!"
I quickly snatched my bag as Hibiki dragged me from the alley. While Miku smiled and shook her head before followed the suit.
"Hm...I see, that before you were saving the girl from being molested, correct?"
"U-Un."
I timidly nodded as Miku concluded all the details I gave him. Right now, we're walking on the street, heading towards my home. Hibiki meanwhile, somehow got perked up of what I said.
"Wow, that's really cool, Kashi! You know, you're like some kind of a hero!" Hibiki exclaimed.
"H-Hero...? Wrong, I'm not a hero."
"Of course you are one! You don't need a cape to be one, you see."
"..." I gazed down on the ground.
No, you're wrong, Hibiki. A hero is a brave and has a lot of courage...unlike me. I was saving that girl not for a purpose, I don't know but what they did, that just...wrong. I wanted to ran away from them like a cat or tried to defend myself. But I can't, I was too scared.
I am too scared...
"-Well, looks like we made it."
I snapped from thought and stopped right on my track. Gazing up at the simple house, I immediately and silently swallowed my saliva down to my throat.
"Uh..."
"Ah, that's right." Hibiki muttered as she searched her bag for a moment before pulled out something. "Here it is!"
She showed me a paper, it looks like it is a ticket for some sort of...Zwei Wing concert, which I looked at her before looking at the ticket again. Seeing this, she took my hand and placed the ticket on it.
"Ah, but I can't accept this..." I muttered and she waved her hand.
"Don't worry, don't worry! It's free. Miku was able to win the game and luckily we got three free tickets!"
"Hibiki, you were the one who forced me to play that game."
"A-Aaa...Come on, don't be like that Miku! A-At least we won right?" Hibiki said sheepishly. "Plus, this is our first Zwei Wing concert in our life!"
"Zwei...Wing? What is that?" I asked timidly.
And then- ZAAaan! A lightning struck right through Hibiki. She widened her eyes in shock and horror, and grabbed both of my shoulders.
"Ka-Kashi-kun..."
"H-Hibi...ki?"
"You seriously don't know about Zwei Wing?!"
"E-Err...Um, t-that's..."
"Then you don't know anything about Kanade-san and Tsubasa-san!? I thought, I thought you were interested in musics, Kashi-kun!"
Hibiki began to shook my shoulders, which I got freaked out a bit before grasped her hand to stop her.
"I-I-I am! But...I'm only interested in orchestras, instruments, violins and such other things like that..."
"-Then, what about the famous pop idols..!?"
Hibiki looked straight into my eyes while Miku is just sweating behind her. It's making me feel uneasy, and of course I do now about that two singers: Amou Kanade and Kazanari Tsubasa. I also have some CDs of their songs. I just don't quite know about Zwei Wing...
Later, I gulped and hastily nodded my head.
"Y-Yes, I know about them...I-I-I also heard that they're going overseas, and going to return tomorrow for the concert, tomorrow again...right?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Yaa~, Kashi-kun you almost gave me a heart attack!"
Around her, they're so many sparkles followed by her smile of relief. She released her hand from my shoulders. Meanwhile, Miku sighed while letting out a wry smile.
"OK then...! See you tomorrow, Kashi-kun! Keep it carefully okay!"
"See you later, Kashi."
"O-Ooh..."
They waved her hands and I waved back with small smile. After that, they turned around and walked away. In just a few distance, Hibiki waved her hand again excitedly at me.
My smile and my expression was distorted normally into a bit sad-looking face. I then gazed at the ticket Hibiki gave to me.
"..."
The date...So I was right. It's the day after tomorrow, evening.
If this is a concert, then which means there's going to be a lot of crowds...I might...No, Hibiki already gave this. My only friends gave this ticket to me. I must go with them.
Putting the ticket inside my pocket, I turned and walked towards the front door of my house.
It feel like, the more I took a step, the more my heart's beating in fear. Even now, my hands' trembling. Not only that, once I near the door and opened it. My hand just stopped just a few inch in front of the doorknob.
"Ugh..."
Biting my lower lip, and pulled out some courage. I slowly twisted the doorknob, and opened the door slightly until it's fully opened. Swallowing my saliva, I entered the house and closed the door.
"-I'm home...!"
Saying that with trembling voice and leg, I took of my shoes and wanted to head straight to the second floor where my room is.
But when I did that, when I was going to pass the living room. I stopped.
I completely stopped, all my trembling is now gone and I opened my eyes in shock. There, on the table, there are so many empty bottles standing. Even the floor have an empty bottles. Next, on the sofa, is an old man around middle age wearing a simple clothes is drinking another bottle of alcohol.
"-To-Tou-san..."
Yes. That old man is my father. No, not exactly but he is my stepfather. Ever since my parents died when I was just a kid, or so what they said to me, he's the one who raised me...
-However, the term 'raise' is...not quite true. He always spending all his time and money drinking like this, he sometimes goes outside and work or maybe go to the club. And I'm doing all the housework, cooking, washing the clothes and stuffs like that. He also paid for my tuition fee too.
But. My father never helped me on anything...Instead, he treat me...like some 'slave'.
"O-Otou-san..." I called once again and he didn't answer. "Otou-san."
Calling him once again and noticed it, he stopped and turned his eyes at me. I gulped.
"...Who are you...?" He mumbled. His voice isn't clear, I could barely almost heard him.
"Eh? O-Otou-san, it's me, Kashi..."
"Otou-san? Don't know you!"
As he raised his voice a bit, I flinched. Don't tell me, with all amounts of alcohol he's drinking right now, he must be drunk...
"Otou-san..."
"-Argh, I told you I'm not your father so get LOST!"
With that moment, he threw an empty bottle on the floor in front of me, I quickly take a step back and widened my eyes in horror. Sharp glass was splattered everywhere.
"But-"
"-I SAID GET LOST BRAT!"
I flinched from his shout. Fear once again took over my entire body as I dropped my bag and ran away from the house.
I ran and ran and ran towards nowhere on the dark streets, the sun was set down and the moon is shining. While I was running, tear's forming on my eyes. I tried to wipe them off but they're just keep forming.
Soon, I was found myself alone on some street where there's nothing but me on here. I slowly stopped under the lamp that is flickering and I fell down onto my knees while sobbing in tears.
I...I wanted a real family, a mother that is always care for me, a responsible and kind father...I only and always wanted that ever since I was a kid.
"But why...Why did they had to die? Why? Why? Why!? Why!? WHY!?WHY!?" I punched the ground while crying. The tear's flowing down and dropping before I held my throbbing right fist while placing my forehead on the ground.
After a while as I cried, I heard a sound coming from beside me and it's sliding. When I was going to check it, something lightly knocked my head. Slowly, I looked at the thing beside me...
A...small white briefcase?
I pushed myself and rubbed my eyes before looking at the case. It's a metal briefcase, but what's it doing here?
Did someone drop it? No, impossible. I only heard a sliding sound so which means that this case was being pushed. Maybe by someone.
"Who's the owner of this thing...?" I muttered as lifted it and stood up. It's very light, there's nothing inside it?
Then, I surveyed around the area. But there's no one but a sound of crickets and the light on top of me is flickering on and off.
"..."
I-It somehow, I feel like I am being watched...But where? I-I don't like this, I need to go away...
With that thought, I turned behind and jogged while still taking the briefcase. After a few minutes, I arrived again at my house. I really hope that he's sleeping now...
Biting my lower lip, I headed towards the door and slowly opened it. I exhaled in relief that he wasn't locked it. I entered and took a peek at the living room.
Father is sleeping while snoring on the sofa right now which is good for me. But the bottles' still laying on the table.
Sparing a glance at the case, I put it on the side before taking an unused plastic bag from the cupboard at the kitchen and began to take all the empty bottles inside.
It only took me a few moments, as I binding the bag tightly and got up, headed outside and put away the garbage on its bin. Heading towards the house again and locked the door, I took the case and spared a worried glance at him.
S-Should I wake him up and tell him to go to his room? It's impossible that I carry him...
Decided my choice, I took a step forward and-
"Get lost brat...!"
I jumped as he mumbled very loud on his sleep.
Looks like, I...I really shouldn't...
With that, I turned heel and walked upstairs to my room, closing the door and locked it. I cast a few glance in front of me.
Well, my room is incommodious and is that simple, there's no bed here so I'm always sleeping with a futon and there's a table with chair on the side, a closet beside it and nothing else.
I put the small briefcase on the table, and decided to examined every scale on it. There's no name plate or anything. Sighing a bit, I put down the case and-
Click!
I was accidentally opened up the briefcase, leaving a small gap, I hastily wanted to closed it again but...Curiosity, took me over as I slowly opened it.
Immediately, I held my breath.
Inside the case, has a high tech equipment. There's this white thing that looks like a belt with seems like there's a small head emblem that has V antenna and yellow visor on the middle. It's not the end of it, a gun like walkie-talkie and a...strange camera?
It is weird...this is weird, I-I have this strange feelings around me. It's making me sweating, my hands' trembling and my heart's beating like a punching bag.
What's more, every time I looked at that small head. It gave off some sort of...tendency. I don't know. Like it's begging me...?
"Ggh..!?"
I quickly held my head as my head is throbbing very fast.
I could see it. A few images, I am at this some kinda glass room, I could only see my own reflection as I'm looking at it...
It hurts! It so hurts! Stop, please stop!
I suddenly closed the case while my breathing become rough and I'm sweating. And I am crying a bit...Rubbing my eyes, I took a step back from the briefcase.
I...I need to put this away...Yeah, yeah. I-I need to put that weird, thing away...
Next Day...
In the morning and alone, I am walking towards my school. It's not the Lydian Music Academy but rather, Fos Academy.
That school is much cheaper on this city. I wish that I could go to school with Hibiki and Miku but, that Academy is for girls only. Fos has almost the same size with the Lydian's.
Fos means "light" if you translate it from Greek. To be honest, the light is not very bright if you ask me.
And that briefcase...I'm bringing it with me. It's inside my school bag. I...I really don't know why I'm bringing it with me. I think I'll bring it to Lost property office.
On my way to the school's gate, a classmate was and I think intentionally, shoved his shoulder at mine. And another one. While walking, they glanced at me with slight disgust, I lowered my head as I felt uneasy.
A while later, I arrived in front of my class as I slid opened the door and entered-
Bam!
Everyone in the class are laughing hysterically, it was because there's something fell down to my head and there's dust anywhere, dirtying my hair and my shoulders. I coughed and shook my head, I noticed that there was an eraser placed on top of the door.
It was planned by my classmates. But I didn't shout nor fight back, I just remain silent and averted their gaze by lowering my head while biting my lower lip and walked towards my seat. They're saying something like nonsense about me but I just shut my lips.
That moment when I finally headed to my seat near the window...
"JUST DIE ALREADY!" "KASHI, YOU'RE CURSED!" "YOU SUCK!" "WEIRDO!WEIRDO!WEIRDO!" "WHY'RE YOU EVEN BREATHING!? LEAVE THIS WORLD IMMEDIATELY!" "WHAT'S UP WITH THAT SILLY HAIR? IT'S FUCKING UGLY!"
And many, many other words are written on my desk, it was about me being cursed, bane, weird and among other things.
Maybe because of my last name...Hyoko means...Curse.
I turned my gaze to my classmates, disgusted, annoyed, furious look are planted on their face.
Why? I was going to asked them that but, I slowly sat down on my seat and waiting for the bell rings.
After School...
Hours have passed and it's already evening. The sky, the streets' painted orange. Everyone's going back home. There's so many people here.
But not me. Currently, I'm sitting on a wooden bench and feeling troubled of what happened during at the school. As usual, everyone's bullying me...but this time, this day, they...It becomes much worse than before...
"I...Why?"
Mumbling, I placed my palms on my face. I could feel that my eyes' began watery. I slowly moved my left palm and touched the plaster.
"Hibiki...Miku, where are you guys? ...I don't know what to do anymore..."
I don't want to go home. If I do that, then my father would...! I-I seriously don't know where to go...
Wait...the ticket...!
Hastily, I searched my pockets before sighed in relief, pulling it out and stared at it for a while. Tomorrow's the concert, I could go with Hibiki and Miku there. It would be...fun, I guess.
However, could I go with them? I mean, there's a lot of people there...and I'm not a sociable kid.
Slowly exhaling, I put the ticket back again before taking my school bag. Speaking of it, I haven't bring the case to the lost property office. I think I should do that now.
BOOM!
Just as I took a step, an explosion occurred not far to the side, everyone is in deep surprise including me, winds' blowing hard on us as I shield my face with my arms.
"W-What...?" I muttered as I lowered my arms before eyes widened in deep shock and horror.
In a few distance. In front of us...
That, glowing 'thing' are there...
Preying us...
With no mercy...
Not a single bit...
A creatures, an alien creatures that have been a threat to us all, the entire humanity are threatened by these creatures for 13 years...
"N-Noise..."
Yes. Those things are called Noise.
Only a single contact from that thing...It WILL and immediately ending your life.
Then all hell break loose, everyone started to run away from it. The citizens are all screaming for their lives.
Even so, those Noises are too fast, most of the citizens were getting caught and immediately turning their skin. Everything. Turning humans into a pile of carbon before dissolving.
"N-No! Get away! GET AWAY-! AAAA-"
"Somebody please help! HELP MEEEEE!"
"..."
The people in front of me...dead. Everyone is dead. They are all dead. The remaining citizen are running and passing me. I can't move, I can't move. My hands and legs are frozen and trembling in fear. My teeth's chattering too.
I was shoved and fell down to the ground. When I pushed and lifted my head, I saw the Noise are still preying the residents into ashes.
I still can't move a muscle, I-I'm too scared! W-What if those creatures' going to kill me while I'm running away!? No, no, it's too late. It's all too late...
I will die...I will die. I'll die. I'll die! I'll die! I'LL DIE!
"OKAA-SAAAN! O-OKAA-SAAAAAN!"
The sound was coming from my left. I slowly directed my sight at it, and in my surprise, there is a little girl which is very younger than me, she's rubbing her eyes while crying. Her right knee is grazed and couldn't stand due to the pain.
Noticing this, the Noise immediately moving towards her.
S-She's going to die...! She's just a little girl! Can someone, or anyone could save her!? I...I am...
"Hey Kashi...Have you ever wondering why humans always die?"
Noise are getting closer and closer to her. Immediately without even knowing, I searched the area for some weapon I could use. A metal pipe is laying there. With that, I unconsciously stood and grabbing the pipe.
I charged to one of the Noise and swung the pipe with all my might with roar. But then, when the metal made impact...it never did. Instead, the pipe was passing through its body.
"-Aagh!"
I screamed and widened my eyes in pain as it was hitting me and sent me away rolling on the ground.
It touched me, I made a contact with it! A-Am I going to turn into-...
"...Huh?"
But nothing happened...Nothing happened. I was sure that the Noise were touching me, even hitting me! W-What...
"KYAAAA! OKAA-SAN, HELP ME!"
While wincing in pain, I saw the creatures' getting closer to her just a few more meters as she desperately crawled away. I tried to stand but only fell to one knee as a result due to pain on my chest area.
Is there anyone, someone...
-Is there anything I could do to save her...!?
"Use..."
"H-Huh? Who's..." I winced as there are voice echoed on my ears. Followed by a ringing and my head's throbbing, I held my head.
Furthermore, those voices aren't Japanese or English, but rather it was another language that I did not know yet I somehow could understand them.
"Use...It..."
And that moment, I slowly turned my gaze at my bag. Then, I unconsciously opened it and took out the briefcase. At the same time, the sun that was already set down, and the moon that was surrounded by the dark clouds slowly revealing itself.
"Use...It...Now...Call..."
I put down the case and opened it. Staring at the belt for a second, I unconsciously pulled out the white belt, attaching the camera to the side and took the phone.
3rd Person POV
Few minutes ago in an unknown location. On some sort of base, an alarms sound can be heard. The people in there are manipulating the terminals' in front of them. It seems like they're trying to get footage and the location of the rampaging Noise.
A pair of golden eyes is gazing at the screen. He's a tall and muscular man, red hair and a goatee. Wearing a red shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a pink tie with its end tucked into his left chest pocket. Light beige slacks and black and blue athletic shoes.
This old man, is Kazanari Genjuro.
"Sir, we have located the Noise. Sending the footage now!"
One of the staff said as he manipulating the terminal. Then, the screen changed into one of the streets' CCTV. The place are in mess, people are running away.
"This is bad..."
The old man could only frowned at the civilian casualties. Those civilians weren't deserved to die! No one is deserve to die like this...
"Old man!"
"Ah, Kanade. You're back."
Genjuro turned behind at the two girls. The girl who was just spoke just now has a red hair with matching red eyes. There's other girl behind her, she has a blue colored hair that is tied onto side-ponytail and a pair of blue eyes.
The famous pop idol of Zwei Wing. Amou Kanade and Kazanari Tsubasa. The Symphogear users.
It would seem that they were just arrived in Japan not a while ago.
"-We came as soon as we could, what's the situation?"
As Kanade asked, Genjuro stared back at the screen with a grim look. Seeing this, Kanade narrowed her red eyes and clenched her hand into fist. Boiling in slight hatred directed to those Noise.
"Tsubasa, let's go!" She called as she turned towards her companion.
"Y-Yes..."
Tsubasa nodded in response. When they was going to the scene however...
"Wait!"
A tall woman with violet eyes and long brown hair done up into a beehive shaped dome with a purple butterfly clip on the left side. Wearing a pink rimmed glasses with yellow tinted lens. She's wearing a pink and coral dress and a lab coat.
"What is that?" Sakurai Ryouko pointed the screen with her finger. Her fellows turned their eyes at she called.
Kanade frowned. From the footage there, a figure can be seen not far on the left where Noise is trying to attack the innocent little girl. Because of the moon's radiance directed at the building behind the figure, completely shadows him.
"Another citizen!?"
"What's he doing there?! He's going to get killed!"
Genjuro and Kanade exclaimed with worry as Tsubasa opened her eyes in shock.
What kind of a man mad enough to go near the Noise!? It's a suicide! Usually, those creatures will attack any human being, they does not care about looks, genders or et cetera. Noise are just preying everyone without any mercy at all.
However...They did not care about that boy. They just goes near the girl who is crawling away in deep horror.
"What...? W-What is he doing?" Genjuro muttered as he saw that person, is slowly raising his right hand.
Back with Kashi, who is now standing under the shadows. A white belt can be seen around his waist while holding some sort of black and white walkie-talkie. In front of him, there are so many Noise. Around 40 or so.
His legs, his hands. Whole of his body are not trembling like usual. As if he is not him, as if someone...or something took control of him.
"Call...It...Now...Call...It...Now...Call...It...Now..."
Whispers of a woman is echoed around, using an unfamiliar and strange language. She was like begging Kashi to do something.
"Call...It...Now. Call, It, Now. Call, It, Now..."
The voice began to raised her sound while saying those words over and over and over again until suddenly, Kashi slowly raised his right hand.
"Call. It. Now. Call. the name. Now. Call. It. Now. Call. It. Now! Call! It! Now!"
Same time as she yelled. The Noise are completely stopped or frozen in place. The little girl blinked in confuse as Kashi already raised the device near his right ear.
"CALL! IT! NOW! CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL THE NAME NOW! CALL IT NOW! HYOOOOKOOOO KAAAAASHIIIII!"
The voice yelled in horrifying voice of a devil. But Kashi did not flinched or felt scared at that one.
His heart felt warm...
Then at that moment, at that time, he opened his lip and mutter...
Those words...That will change his fate and set to his true destiny...
Forever...
"Del...ta..."
"STANDING BY"
At that moment when the belt let out a loud mechanical voice and then Kashi slowly lowered his device and inserted it on the upper side of the camera right on belt's side.
"COMPLETE"
Followed by that sound, blue glowing lines came out and from his belt. Running to his entire body, his arms, legs, shoulders without the exceptional of his head. Noticing the brightness came from Kashi, those creatures directed their gaze at him. The girl is blinded as she shield her eyes.
After a while, that kid slowly lowered before blinked in complete surprise at that black figure.
Back at the base, the people inside are shocked especially Kanade, Tsubasa, Genjuro and Ryouko.
The figure has a white glowing lines with black suit and armor on his chest and shoulders. On his helmet there is a short V white antenna, a red glowing visor with white lines on its rims and black mouth. What's more, the shoulders have lines which looked like...
"An..."
"...Angel?"
Kanade and Tsubasa muttered in daze.
"T-That's...Don't tell me, one of those relics...!" Genjuro said with slight trembling voice in front of them.
"Delta...Gear." Ryouko ended in slight grim tone.
Meanwhile, at another unknown location. A person is seen sitting on the stairs while closing his eyes with his fingers folded.
Then as if something snapped on his head, he opened his eyes and slowly widening his lips into grin.
"Hmhmhm...The bell has been rung..."
At the city where Kashi's at, he started to lift his left foot and slowly walked to the alien creatures. Somehow and suddenly, when they looked at that walking Angel...
-They slowly moved backwards. They literally did that. The Noise that have been a threat to humanity for 13 years, crawling away in fear!?
Stopping right on his track, Kashi slowly lifted his head up
Then-
BAM!
Without any warning, the Angel appeared in front of the girl while his left foot extended. He was kicking the nearby Noise away in a speed that cannot be seen with normal human eyes and that glowing creature was sent to the wall, instantly vanished.
The kick must had been too strong and powerful, even a slight smoke is flying on his feet!
BGM: I AM from Ken Arai [Parasyte OST]
Slowly lowering his leg, Kashi gazed at 39 Noise in front of him, protecting the girl. They are all small sized glowing creatures. There's no big sized Noise, so this is gonna be easy.
Clenching his hands into fists, he blurred in high speed and punched down one of the Noises, disappearing instantly and his punch managed to create a crack on the ground.
One of them tried to attack by tackling him but, he soon pulled his body and successfully evades a strike. Another one dived onto his back. Reflexively, he sidestepped to the side. He then ducked to evade a strike.
Every attack, every strike, every ways were done by the Noise. But none of them seems to get an advantages.
No one is able to touch him. They are just seems too slow for Kashi.
"..."
Then he makes his move, Kashi delivered a roundhouse kick on the head, killing it. Performing a backhand strike behind him while spinning behind and punched the Noise with his left fist on his right side. He made another kick to the left without even looking at it.
33. 32. 31. 30. 29. 28...
One by one the Noise is beginning to vanished and killed by the Angel as Kashi lifted his right leg up before dropping it down to that fallen Noise.
Later, he turned his glance at the 21 remaining Noises. Scraping his feet on the ground, he slowly gripped the phone that is still attached with the camera on his right side of the belt before pushing it down and pulling it out from the belt.
At that time, he raised his phone that now has been shaped like a pistol near his right ear.
"Fire..."
"BURST MODE!"
Muttering in English words, the belt let out an announcement as Kashi pointed his pistol at Noise and squeezed his trigger. Immediately, a white laser was sent to the creature from the pistol's barrel. The laser did not pass through its body instead, it made impact but once it landed on Noise's body, a white flame is appeared on his body.
And the fire is slowly...eating down the creature and dissolving it into ashes.
Kashi directed the barrel at the other Noises, shooting a white laser while slowly walking near them. Every time he shot its body, that white flames are appearing once the laser made a hit.
20. 19. 18. 17. 16. 15...
He merely shot them all until there's one remains. He was going to kill it when he pulled the trigger however...
He ran out of ammo...
Seeing this, Kashi directed the phone near his ear again.
"Charge..."
The phone let out a beeping sound as it seems to be reloading itself. But, Kashi did not use the pistol anymore.
Instead-
"Lucifer's Hammer..."
"EXCEED CHARGE!"
As Kashi said in English, another announcement came from his belt, the barrel's pistol is extended. Then, a beam of light traveled from the belt on his white lines, and reaching to his right arm where he's holding his pistol. Following that, he pointed the barrel at that creature while the beam's already reached the gun as it let out a flash.
He pulled the trigger. This time, it did not fire a white laser but it sent out a small sized of bullet to the Noise before it turned into a big blue cone filled with energy.
Kashi holstered the pistol back to his belt before started to walk for a while and ran towards the blue cone. After that, he jumped and extended his right leg, and goes inside the cone.
Once inside, the cone's swirling faster and faster, and drilling down the last Noise. Later, as if like a ghost, Kashi appeared behind it as he skidded the ground while crouching down. A blue triangle symbol that is being slashed diagonally down to the left with blue lines, suddenly appeared on Noise's body before-
BOOM!
A loud explosion. The creature exploded into ashes, and white flames scattering around the ground while he's slowly standing up.
BGM End
"A-Awesome..." Kanade muttered in awe as she and her fellows were watching that Angel beating down all the Noise himself.
"I..I still can't believe it...To think that the Lost relic's truly exist." Genjuro said with slight disbelief while crossing his arms as he saw the Delta user killed the last Noise.
"B-But, aren't those relics, that gear is just a...rumors?" Tsubasa asked and Ryouko shook her head.
"No, it was not a rumor or a myths or anything! It is real! There, in front of us, the DeltaGear's truly exist, the long Lost relic has been founded!" Ryouko said excitedly.
Not responding to Ryouko, Genjuro frowned and rubbed his goatee. Wanting to know that wearer's identity.
Just who is that guy? How come he can find the most powerful but dangerous relic on the entire world and using it so easily?
"Who are you?" He mumbled in deep thought for a moment before raising his brows.
"Hey, what is he doing?"
The white flames' still flickering behind Kashi, he did not move, he just stood there while lowering his head.
"Saya! Saya! Where are you!?"
He slowly turned behind to see a woman running while searching for the little girl. Soon, she widened her eyes as her daughter is sitting on the wall not far from where's Kashi's standing.
"Saya!"
"Okaa-san...? Okaa-san!"
Her mother immediately ran towards her as she called her daughter, hugging the little girl while sobbing in tears.
"!?"
Suddenly something snapped on Kashi's head as he opened his eyes wide in shock behind the helmet, his body began trembling and looking around in panic. He took a step back and almost stumbled to the ground.
"W-Wha..."
Then, he looked at his trembling hands and his entire body. Sweating, his breath starting to get rough everytime he breathes out.
The little girl opened her teary eyes slightly and looked at her savior. Kashi noticing this, he turned his gaze at her who is still being hugged tight by her mom.
"Thank you, Onii-chan!"
"...H-Heh?"
As Kashi said those words in daze, her mother turned around to see him but is very shocked and began to hug her child tight again cautiously.
While Kashi is in confuse and panicking, the flames that were flaring is now died down. Then suddenly, he ran away from the scene to their surprise, especially the little girl and everyone at the base.
That Angel, is nowhere to be seen...
For a while, he stumbled and fell down to the ground but quickly crawled and kicking the ground again. After that, he stopped on some alley as he leaned on the wall while panting like crazy.
Still on his armor, he hastily looked around before touching his belt with shaking hands, before using both of his hands and pulled the belt.
As he did that, his body glowed and the lines are traveled back to where his belt was. Kashi hastily threw the belt on the ground. And with rough breaths, he slowly sat down while still fixing his gaze on the emblem of the belt.
"Wha...Wh-What is going on...!?"
Angel's Judgment
Hey! Hey! Glad to see ya made up on the lower level!
So, how's the prologue of Angel's Judgment? I hope it interest you guys.
Honestly, I have not watched this anime. I only read the fanfics about it. Gotta say, there's so many Kamen Rider X-Over with Symphogear! I'm soooo happy!
Anyways, I noticed there's similarity of Faiz and Symphogear, they're dark. Everyone's dying, and such things like that. And I think there's only a few Faiz x Symphogear here which created by Ashbel Longheart. He has done a great job! Salute!
And yeah, I took the Delta Gear for my coward and shy OC, Hyoko Kashi. And let me tell you guys, that Gear, is very much different from Faiz series. The side-effect is more dangerous than the original Delta Gear. And there's more of the Gears you know! Those Gears, are called the "Lost relics". They are very powerful than any other Symphogear but, it is veeery dangerous warn ya. You could say that only the chosen one or the worthy one is allowed to wear those Gears.
So, since I used Delta, and there's gonna be other belts from Faiz. Should I change this category into Crossover? Please I need your suggestions! Please! ASAP! ASAP!
P.S. No Smart Brain! No Orphnoch! Only the Belts!
I really hope I did not make the characters of this anime go OOC. I mean, before Kanade's death, Tsubasa's a bit shy right? I read those in wiki you know. I so scared that I made them go OOC. 😟
OK Then! See ya in the next-Oh, wait I forgot the teaser for the next chap! XP
Don't be afraid for your next Judge:
"Delta...!"
"Oh, over here Kashi-kun!"
"Wha...What's wrong this thing!?"
"We're not done yet folks!"
"Hibi-Hibiki...Th-This can't be, this can't be happening...!"
"K-Kanade, no! Don't do it!"
I Am...
