A/N: Hello there everyone. I'm kinda new in the MFB fandom since my friend, Kuro Kaage Ryuu is also one of the authors here.
I'm also a fan, but there's an idea that made my mind pop.
A Devil Survivor AU for MFB :D
Yeah, I love the anime, and it made me wanna do this fic.
Again, a Devil Survivor (2) AU. Some characters are a bit OOC (Ginga especially). Also, this fic won't be like the anime that only has 7 days or so. This fic is just an AU based.
And one last thing, it's a slight collab with Kuro-chan :)
Enjoy~
Disclaimer: No proof that MFB and Devil Survivor 2 is mine. Keep that in mind.
Age:
Ginga-18; Madoka and Kenta-17

For many years mankind had flourished into a bright and advanced species. One by one it spreads and brought change to them. Civilisation was born along with languages, education, and of course religion.
Humanity flourished under the guidance of the great Administrator. That supreme being ruled worlds and created all by its will. That being controls and writes all of it in the Akashic Records.
It's like a computer which has many files. But it contained the world's existence and its course of life. Only the administrator and its sword can fully control or change it.
But deep within the Akashic Records lies a very dark prophecy. It's telling about the dark times of humanity.
"The world will be destroyed, but the true one shall create anew... But with a sacrifice..."

"I shall grant you half of my power. You shall decide it all..."
"Survive, Shining One."

A day of clear blue skies and soft winds. It was a perfect day. Below is a school with students just chatting at their respective classroom.
The cherry blossom trees were swaying gently as petals being blown away by the breeze.
Students playing around by sports or causing mischief.
A normal day to be precise.
Up at the rooftop where a lone figure stood. His red hair gently swaying at the breeze along with his white scarf.
He is wearing a grey uniform jacketand inside is his black polo. Wearing a blue with white stripped necktie and gray khaki pants (Devil Survivor 2 Uniform).
His eyes were focused at the blue skies as he listened to his music by the blue headphones.
'What a beautiful day.' The boy smiled.
"Ginga!" Two voices called the boy which caught his attention.
He paused his music and removed his earphones.
"Madoka, Kenta, hey." Ginga calmly greeted his two friends. (They all wear the same uniforms. But the girl version is black skirt anf blue ribbon)
Kenta, a green haired boy who stood near Ginga's shoulder, panted and sheepishly smiled, "Sorry we're late. Kinda got stuck in our test."
Madoka, the brown haired girl who stood at the height near Ginga's neck, just giggled, "Although I finished it early, I waited for Kenta to finish."
Kenta rubbed his neck and chuckled, "Math's a killer, Madoka."
"At least you're all here. Let's eat lunch." Ginga said as they all sat down.
-/-/-/-/-/-
The two couldn't really grasped the situation in front of them. The two very full lunchboxes was empty and all cleaned up.
Ginga calmly ate the whole thing at a quick phase. Yet they couldn't see a hint of body fat within his body.
They only have average size lunches and they are still not finished.
'Just how deep is his bottomless pit stomach?!' The two of them thought in unison.
Ginga took a sip of his water when he noticed his friends staring at him.
"What?"
"Nothing." They just shrug it off as one of the mysteries of this world.
"By the way, did you cook your meal again?" Kenta asked.
"Yeah, mom's pretty busy." Ginga sighed.
The two of them continued eating while Ginga took a sip of his water. His eyes then went to Kenta's brown ones
[Kenta played a new video game and he liked it]
A text box appeared beside Kenta which only Ginga can see.
Ginga sighed, 'Another record huh?"
An incident occurred to him on his tenth birthday. By accident he was able to know information about his mom by only looking to her eyes.
He concluded that he could see information throughout every human as long as he makes an eye contact; even if the person isn't looking back. He just needed a quick glimpse at that person's eye.
No matter the distance, he could still see it.
It was irritating at first. But he got used to it. He called the information he gathered as records.
'The mystery of our friendship is now gone.'
"Oh yeah, I played a very interesting game last night, and I pretty much liked it." Kenta said.
Madoka chuckled, "No wonder you had a hard time in your test."
Kenta sweatdropped, "Yeah... Hehehe..."
"Oh yeah, college is almost up, right Ginga? I heard that you've been taking practice exams." Madoka said as Ginga stopped drinking. "Have you thought about your college yet?"
"I haven't, I guess." Ginga answered, "I haven't given any thought yet."
"Knowing you every exam you take gets a great mark." Kenta sighed.
"I miss our time when I help you with studies, Ginga. You were once hopeless when we were in elementary school. But when we reached middle school, not only did you pass it but you managed to ace it." Madoka giggled.
"People change, Madoka. Also, I don't want to burden you anymore. But it's thanks to you that I always pass." Ginga smiled.
"You aren't a burden. I am really glad that I manage to tutor you. I just miss those days."
"When I have subjects I find difficult, I will ask you then."
Madoka smiled at that, "Really? Thanks Ginga~"
Madoka and Kenta were only second years. Ginga practically begged them to not call him senpai or with honorifics since he is very much not used to it.
He glanced at their eyes as another text box appeared.
[They were introduced to a very interesting app]
'App?' Ginga wondered.
"Oh yeah, can we borrow your phone?" The two of them asked.
"Um, sure?" Ginga gave them his blue smartphone as they did something to it.
"Just give us a few moments." They said.
A few seconds later, they shoved his phone near his face. He pushed it a bit and saw the Title.
"Nicaea?"
"Yup, Nicaea!" Kenta exclaimed.
"It's a troll site which let's you see the death clips of your friends bound by fate itself." Madoka said.
"Death clips? Isn't that supposed to be disturbing?" Ginga asked.
"The whole school does this, you don't know?" Kenta asked.
"Well I dont know the 'in's' of today." Ginga said. "So I'll also see the clips of both of you?"
Madoka finished the setup and gave Ginga's phone back. "Well you could say that."
Ginga looked at his phone and saw a girl with back length sky blue hair and and dark blue eyes with a fierce expression.
The girl in his app is wearing a white fur trimmed jacket, blue polo jacket with white ribbon, and black shorts along with black combat boots.
The girl bowed, "I am Miki and I shall be at your service, Hagane Ginga."
"That's so cool right?" Madoka and Kenta asked.
"I shall be positng the latest upcoming vids, okay? Have a nice day." Miki said as she bowed down.
Ginga smiled, "In a way, I guess."

Ginga opened the door to his house and entered the house and removed his shoes.
"I'm home." He said to his empty house.
He went straight up to his room and closed it shut.
The bag was thrown at the floor and he finally collapsed on his bed.
He took the phone from his pocket and went to the app once more.
It seemed normal since he only saw his basic info. He was about to close it when he saw something below.
'Skill Set? Specialty?' Ginga thought as he went to read it.
The skills were all empty. But as he looked down the specialty section, his eyes widened.
'They're all about records! Is this the ability that I'm using for the past eight years?' Ginga thought.
He then looked for Miki in his app and saw the button with her name. He quickly clicked it and Miki appeared on screen.
"Miki, what are these info of mine?" Ginga asked.
Miki smiled, "You found it out really fast, Ginga-kun. All I could say that these are your gifts that you got from birth. That's what I can say for now. You'll find out soon enough, Ginga-kun."
Miki then disappeared from his screen. Ginga just sighed and rubbed his head. 'Great, just great.'
He looked at some his info once more.
Name: Hagane Ginga
Age: 18 years old
Race: Human
Skill: To be shown
Specialty:
Record Holder/Keeper
Record Reader
Record Manipulation
Ginga sighed and closed his phone. He changed his clothes. Skinny jeans, black shirt, and a short blue, short sleeved jacket. He went down quickly as he saw his mother enter their house.
"Welcome home, mother." Ginga made an eye contact and the text box appeared.
[Completely drunk. Went to her man's house]
His mother had black bobbed hair and grey eyes. Ginga could see that her clothes are not properly buttoned or arranged.
"Oh, it's you brat. Do what you want just don't disturb me."
His mother quickly walked pass him as Ginga only stared at the ground.
'Sometimes, knowing what they're saying in their hearts can be a curse too.'
He ran up the stairs and went to his room.

Deep within the forest, an observatory can be seen. Within that place, a boy is sitting there observing the stars. Papers were scattered everywhere and there are a lot of food containers and mugs.
Within the corners is another man who is older than him. He is currently reading a very old tablet. His eyes narrowed and his fist clenched.
He raised his palms and touched the tablet. It glowed a bright purple within his own sight as letters strated to appear. But some of the letters were missing or blurred.
"Tsk, I still can't read the tablet, Yuki." The white haired man said.
The boy named Yuki stopped what he was doing and looked at the man's direction.
"Still no good, huh Dynamis? We've been trying to read this for 3 years and still nothing." Yuki sighed.
Dynamis put a finger on his chin, "This doesn't make any sense. This tablet is the key for fully understanding the message of the Administrator."
Yuki then said, "We've read his first message, maybe we need someone like you to read this."
"Maybe you're right."
A bright white light caught their attention and saw that it came from the tablet. They quickly got near it and saw the first words that appeared in the tablet.
[Shining One]
"Shining one?" Yuki wondered. "Who is it talking about, Dynamis? Do you think the one who is referred to this tablet can read it?"
Dynamis nodded in agreement, "Where can we find this Shining One?"
Suddenly, they noticed that their phones started to glow. They both got it out of their pockets and checked it.
The light disappeared and it showed a logo.
"Nicaea?" They both wondered in unison.
The screen showed a static until it revealed a boy with red hair and hazel eyes.
"He... Must be the one who could read this tablet, right Dynamis?" Yuki asked.
Dynamis then looked down and saw some information, "Hagane Ginga, age 18. He is currently located in Tokyo."
Dynamis then looks at Yuki, "Let's go to Tokyo and ask for his help."
Yuki nodded in agreement.
Dynamis then dialed something in his phone. It rang for a few second then someone answered it.
"Sir, is there a problem?"
"Prepare now, Hikaru. The time is almost there."
"I shall, Dynamis."

The bell in rang signalling the end of their session. A lot of students sighed in relief after a hard time in answering their tests.
Ginga sighed and kept his stuff in his shoulder bag. Another day of his finished exams.
He then made an eye contact to the boy beside him.
[The boy cheated throughout the exam]
He sighed and stood up from his chair. Better if they didn't notice him. He wasn't close to his classmates since their first impression of him is pretty bad.
'Not my fault that I managed to find some of your slimmy tricks.' He thought.
He then heard the door of his classroom sliding open. Madoka and Kenta entered and greeted Ginga.
"Hey Ginga~" The two of them greeted in unison.
Ginga smiled, "Heyah pals~"
"How's the exam?" Kenta asked.
Ginga awkwardly smiled, " Pretty good, I guess."
"Good for you, Ginga. Because I got the feeling that I'm pretty much screwed in Math..." Kenta sheepishly chuckled.
"At least exams are over." Madoka reassured them.
"Hey, have you heard of the latesr news about the app?" A girl asked.
"Oh yeah, that guy was also introduced by the app. He saw his death clip and it came true!"
"So scary~" a friend of theirs laughed.
Kenta then patted Ginga's back, "See, the app's so popular."
Ginga then made an eye contact to that girl.
[The boy who died is her sister's friend. The incident happened two months ago.
Was in his second year of High School. He got hit by a truck and died immediately.]
Ginga's eyes widened, 'W-what?'
"Are you okay, Ginga?" Madoka asked.
"Oh, just lost in thought, I guess." Ginga chuckled.
"Let's go to the mall then. I wanna buy something." Madoka suggested.
"Me too." Kenta agreed.
Ginga nodded and followed his two friends. But he couldn't shake the feeling in his chest.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
"Cooomeee ooooonnn~ How much more do you have to look?" Kenta asked.
"I can't find the part that I need to fix my laptop. It's starting to malfunction." Madoka pouted.
Ginga patted Kenta's back, "Let's just help Madoka so we can finish early."
"See, Ginga's right." Madoka innocently smiled.
Kenta sighed, "Fine."
They were about to walk when their phones rang. As they open their phones, they saw the Nicaea logo.
"Sweet, it's now time!" Kenta exclaimed.
"Let's see it then." Madoka suggested.
Ginga nodded as they paid attention to their phone. The video loaded, then it began to play.
NICAEA: DEATH CLIP DELIVERY
The whole mall shook around them as rubbles started to fall down. The lights flickered and it starts to collapse.
Kenta got stabbed by a metal rod.
Madoka died from being hit by falling debris.
You died from both. Got stabbed and got crushed.
Ginga's eyes widened at the video he just watched. "J-just what...?"
"For a troll site, this seems so grotesque." Madoka nervously chuckled.
"Hehehehehe... It's kinda creepy." Kenta also felt discomfort at the video. "I mean it takes too long to make this video, right? Just how would they quickly made this?"
"Um, I guess we should continue your shopping tomorrow, Madoka." Ginga suggested to ease the tension.
"Sounds like a plan." Kenta and Madoka agreed in unison.
The lights suddenly flickered and it caught their attention. Ginga looked at his surroundings and saw the ground cracking.
"Guys..."
Before Ginga could continue what he's saying the ground shook violently. The people around them panicked and screamed.
"It's like from the death clip!" Kenta exclaimed.
"No kidding!" Madoka answered back but she seems to be panicking.
The upper floors one by one collapsed down. People who were standing there fell to their doom. The lots collapsed as people got crushed.
"We should get out of here!" Ginga was about to grap their hands but it was too late. It was just a few centimeter gap.
Ginga's eyes widened out of fear and shock.
A rod fell down and stabbed Kenta by the back. His eyes widened and they were staring on Ginga's hazel orbs.
Madoka tried to ran towards Ginga, but a debri caught her foot. She tried to get it out but no avail. Madoka stared straight at Ginga with fear in her eyes. She stretched out her hand towards him but the debris fell on her.
Ginga couldn't move. He was having a hard time to breathe. His eyes were wide as he stared at the corpse of his friends.
He then looked up and saw two rods and debris falling onto him.
'I... I can't die...'
He got stabbed by the shoulder and his side.
'I don't want to die!'
Then everything went black.
-/-/-/-/-/-/-
Around him was black. Only his phone was the only light source he has.
The screen revealed Miki smiling, "I see that you have died, Ginga-kun."
'M-Miki?'
"But, there's still a chance for you to live again. So, what is your choice? Do you want to live or do you want to die?"
'You can't be serious!? I don't want to die right now! I'll live!'
Miki nodded and smiled happily, "Confirmed, your will to live is so strong. Now downloading the Nicaea Spirit Function to your app, Ginga-kun."
'What?'
Miki chuckled, "The time has finally come. Time for you to go back Ginga-kun. But don't worry, I shall be there to guide you."
'I have to go back.'
