-In the main Headquarters of S.O.N.G, Genjuro and his subordinates were working and were doing their usual thing as they were checking for any Alca-Noise or odd signatures in their scanners but did not see or detect anything on their screens-

Genjuro: This is somewhat frightening.

Fujitaka: What do you mean, sir?

Genjuro: No signs of Alca-Noise activity nor any strange readings for the past month after the girls ended their battle against the members of the Bavarian Illuminati..

Aoi: Isn't that a good thing, sir? So far, there is peace on the globe. -The young lady said to the tall muscular man as she smiled up at him and gave him a cup of coffee as he would oblige and took the cup and drank a bit of the coffee-

Genjuro: Perhaps but the fact that the Alca-Noise had not appear on the scanners is what worries me. They would always appear, every day..

Fujitaka: Maybe they've given up?

Elfnein: Not possible, Alca-Noise don't know the when to give up nor do they even understand the term. -Said the short little girl who was sitting in a large chair behind a screen-

Genjuro: Well, just keep an eye out for any strange activity but how are the girls?

Fujitaka: Maria-san is performing a live concert in Akihabara, Tsubasa-san is watching over Maria-san from the back stage with Ogawa-san's support and the other girls are sleeping over Yukine-san's home while they watch the live on screen.

Genjuro: Heh, at least they are enjoying themselves.

-In the concert in Akihabara, Tsubasa and Ogawa were watching Maria from the backstage as they were watching and listening to Maria singing the song "Stand Up! Lady!", as Maria was singing her song, the crowd sung along with her and were cheering loudly-

""Ready, ready, Stand up! Lady!"

Hi, Good morning!

Putting on lipstick and winking in the mirror makes me feel a bit stronger

Stand up, Lady!

Walkin' in high heels through strong wind is no problem for me

With confidence, the world begins to change one at a time

(I just got to choose a direction)

There is only a Good way to do things

Hey Lady, ready go!

No matter what things I choose to do, I can do them all

Even operating a lever is a job I love

The people I follow look out for me

Could I possibly love without feeling weak?

"What×3 is love?"

What's up? Baby!

You can't imitate someone by looking out for them

I'm only one!

What matters is being true to yourself

What is the definition of a good lady?

(It's how one should look)

I want to look at myself from the ground up

And start being a lady

I should be accustomed to being the ideal type of lady

But I guess having my arms folded all the time is too much?

There are days I laugh so much that my face turns red

Is it strange being in love?

"What×3 is love?"

Anyone can be strong no matter their size

I don't care if I'm the only person

If anyone is missing

I'll do my best to make progress

So I can laugh with everyone as we sing this song

There are two characters left for that important person to say

I wonder if the meaning is to know how to live a little better?

The people I follow look out for me

Could I possibly love without feeling weak?

"What ×3 is love?"

"I want to be able to convey my love from here ""

Tsubasa: She has become a lot more smoother with her songs now.

Ogawa: Indeed, it seems like she has left all of her worries and regrets in the past. -Tsubasa smiled as she watched Maria sing happily-

-Back in Chris' apartment-

Kirika: Desu! Desu desu desu! Go go Maria, desu!

Shirabe: Kiri-chan, you're being loud.

Hibiki: Go go Maria!

Chris: You shut the hell up!

Hibiki: No!

Chris: What did you say?!

Hibiki: Maria! Maria! Mari- Pguh! -A pillow then hit her face as Chris had thrown the pillow at her-

Miku: Hahaha! Hibiki, you need to calm down.

Hibiki: I can't help it! We finally get to sit back and relax after so long without fighting!

Miku: There's still homework and school.

Hibiki: Why Miku?! Why?! Why did you have to ruin the moment for me?!

Miku: Eh?!

-Back in the HQ of S.O.N.G-

-The alarm went off as the whole base was under alert and the name of a relic appeared on the large main monitor in the operations room as the name was "Heracles"-

Genjuro: Heracles?!

Aoi: H-Heracles.. The relic that went missing about 4 years ago..

Genjuro: Track the location of the activation!

Fujitaka: I'm on it!

Genjuro: Contact all Symphogear users immediately!

Aoi: Sir! We can't get through to Tsubasa-chan and Ogawa-san! It seems that their communications in the concert hall has been blocked!

Genjuro: What?!

-Back in Chris' apartment-

Chris: Orders! We gotta go!

Miku: Eh? N-Now?!

Hibiki: This one is right under the concert hall too! We need to go now!

Miku: H-Hibiki!

Hibiki: Don't worry, Miku. I'll come back after I'm done, I always do!

-Hibiki and Chris then ran out of the apartment as Kirika and Shirabe followed behind-

Miku: Hibiki..

-As the four users were running, they saw a helicopter was waiting for them down below as they would then quickly get into the chopper as it took flight and brought them to the concert hall. Underneath the concert hall, the guards that were protecting the hall were all carried away by a large group of gold mechanical robots as the guards had passed out from being attacked by the machines, a gold bot with a cyclops eye walked towards a monitor and started typing out codes through the keyboard as it then activated the large stage door that Maria was standing on and an elevator was rising up to the main performance hall. Maria stopped singing after the ground started shaking as everyone in the hall started panicking as they were thinking it was an earthquake but as soon as the stage under Maria's feet then started to open up, she would quickly make way to the back of the stage-

Maria: What is going on?!

Tsubasa: I don't know! This isn't part of the scheduled performance!

Ogawa: W-What in the world.. -Ogawa was in shock as he took a few steps back at the sight of a giant gold mechanical scorpion standing on the stage as it had rode the elevator up. The large mechanical beast screeched powerfully and loudly, creating a sound wave that destroyed all of the glasses in the concert hall, causing everyone to panic and evacuate. As the people were about to evacuate, their way out were all blocked by more gold machines, some were being blocked by humanoid bots, others by animals, man-sized insects and robotic dinosaurs-

Maria: We can't transform with the civilians here!

Tsubasa: Ogawa! Assist in the evacuation and speed it up quickly, we'll try to handle this without using our gears!

Ogawa: R-Right! Of course! -He said as he then ran back to help the workers evacuate the people as some of the people were trying to fight the bots that were blocking their path-

Maria: Tsubasa, what is your plan? Because I don't have the slightest idea on handling such a beast! -She said as she pointed at the Scorpion that was looking right at the two-

Tsubasa: Distract it from the civilians!

Maria: Sounds good enough! -She took a crowbar from the side and threw it at the bot but it did not even scratched it but instead angered it as it would then screech loudly at the two and charge after them into the backstage but before the Scorpion's pincers could reach the two girls, it stopped moving after hearing an activation song from above as it then slowly reversed back and look up into the air to see four girls falling down to the ground as bright lights surround them-

"Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron"

-Hibiki sang her activation song as she then activated her Gungnir and started singing the song "Makenai Ai ga Koko ni Aru". After she had finished her transformation, she pulled the gauntlet on her right hand back with her left hand as she was prepared to do a charged punch at the scorpion-

"一番槍のコブシ 一直線のコブシ

Gan×2 (進め)Gan×2(歌え)

撃槍ジャスティス

私が選ぶ正義 固め掴んだ正義

離さないこと此処に誓う

突っ走れ 例え声が 枯れても

一撃必愛(ぶん守れ)愛は負けない

(全力)ぐっと(全開)ぐっと

ぶっ飛ベ!"

-As Hibiki was about to hit the Scorpion, she was pulled back strongly as she flew into the giant monitor screen that was next to the Scorpion and crashed into the screen as giant golden Mantis risen up after tossing Hibiki into the monitor. Before the two giants went to attack Hibiki, shots of bullets and arrows along with buzz saws and sickles came flying down the sky as they were all hitting the beasts but the attacks did not hurt the machines but only infuriated them. The bots that were blocking the civilians then ran away after the four Symphogear users had appeared as the civilians were slightly confused at first but then quickly ran out as fast as they could-

Chris: The hell! These things ain't Alca-Noise!

Kirika: Maybe a new type of Noise, desu!

Shirabe: They are way too mechanical to be Noise! But our priority is taking them down!

Chris: You got that right! Hyaah! -She activated her "Megadeth Party" as she unleashes a barrage of twenty-four missiles from the missile launchers that open up at her sides and fired them at the Mantis and Scorpion and the shots directly hit the two giants, creating a massive explosion, making them unable to see what was ahead- Yeah! Why don't you go back to hell and eat that for an eternity!

Kirika: Go go! Chris-senpai desu!

Shirabe: Wait.. Something doesn't seem right..

Chris: What? Whoa! -The raptorial arms from the Mantis came out from the smoke and grabbed both Shirabe and Kirika with its giant arms, as the two juniors struggled to get out, Shirabe tried sawing through the arms of the machine but the armor on the machine was too thick for her saws to cut through and Kirika had dropped her scythe- H-Hey! Let them go!

Shirabe: A-Ah! I-I can't cut through the arms!

Kirika: D-Desu! T-This hurts desu! -The sound of the Mantis screeching soared loudly as it held onto the two girls as hostages and as Chris was about to charge towards the Mantis, a giant pincer came out from the smoke and grabbed Chris by the body as the Scorpion slowly walked out of the smoke as then made an odd low pitched roar that paralysed Chris of her movements as it would then toss her into the seats in the viewing area as Chris smashed into the seats as she fell unconscious and her gear vanished-

Kirika: C-Chris-senpai!

Shirabe: Senpai! No!

Tsubasa: Hyah! -Tsubasa dropped down onto the Scorpion's head and pierced its amored skull with her blade and stabbed it strongly, causing it to go berserk and screech in pain- Hold still you foul beast! Ugh! -The Scorpion was in a panic as would then charge towards a wall and slammed its head into the wall as Tsubasa quickly jumped away before getting crushed-

Maria: Drop them! -Maria yelled out loud from the side as she glared at the giant Mantis but the insect paid no attention to her but kept staring at Tsubasa instead, Maria then got irritated that the machine was ignoring her as she would then aimed her right arm at the machine's body and activated her "HORIZON†CANNON" and charged up the shot and fired a powerful beam and destroyed half of the Mantis' body, causing it to drop Shirabe and Kirika as the two would land right next to Maria- Are you two all right?

Kirika: Desu!

Shirabe: Y-Yeah but what about Chris-senpai?!

Maria: Kirika! Take Chris somewhere safe, Shirabe, help her.

Kirika: Aye aye desu!

Shirabe: Right! -The two then left to get Chris as Kirika carried Chris in her arms while Shirabe lead the way and tried to make sure no one gets in the way-

Maria: Tch! I can't get through to Elfnein! Tsubasa! Is your coms working?!

Tsubasa: Negative! It seems that our communications are being jammed by something or someone!

Maria: We need to find the source!

Tsubasa: I'll have Ogawa search the perimeter!

-Hibiki then climbed back up from the back of the giant monitor as she scratched the back of her head-

Hibiki: Ow..That actually hurt.. W-What happened?!

Tsubasa: Nothing much, we managed to destroy the two pest.

Hibiki: W-Where's Chris-chan?! And Kirika-chan and Shirabe-chan?!

Maria: I had Kirika and Shirabe take Chris to a safe place, Chris was in no condition to fight after all. -The sound of static was then heard from their communications in their ear as they could hear a weak transmission from Genjuro-

Genjuro: T-The source of the jamming..I-I..Is..

Maria: Commander! Commander Where is the source?!

Genjuro: Basement!

Tsubasa: The basement! Tachibana!

Hibiki: I'm on it! -She then quickly jumped down the opened elevator hole and as she jumped down, she made a large crack at the basement and looked around to see large number of mechanical machines as they were all staring at Hibiki with their bright red eyes, many of them drew out guns and swords and started attacking Hibiki as Hibiki was getting hurt quicker than Alca-Noise could hurt her but she fought back and destroyed them, one by one. After Hibiki had destroyed the bots, Maria and Tsubasa joined up with her as they then walked around the basement saw two guys, one was blonde but they weren't able to catch his face as he was walking into a machine while the other was had a pure black Symphogear armor on with red outlines on each end of the nerves of the armor as he had two devil tails on his rear end and he had large gauntlets that were larger than Hibiki's. The girls' eyes widened at the sight of the male Symphogear user with white hair and marooned coloured eyes as he was rather short as well- A-A male Symphogear user?!

Tsubasa: Who are you?! And why are you doing this?!

Male user: Tachibana Hibiki, Kazanari Tsubasa...Maria Cadenzavna Eve. Three of the six Symphogear users of S.O.N.G.

Maria: H-He knows of our identity!

Hibiki: W-Wait! At least tell us why you are doing this?!

Male user: Orders from our leader. Confidential orders.

Hibiki: W-Well we don't have to fight! We can sort things out if we just talk to each other like what we are doing now!

Male user: I am but a second-in-command, not a leader. Although, I do respect that you would rather discuss the matters through a discussion rather than fighting.

Hibiki: Then why don't we just do that?! Y-You can tell your leader that we mean no harm! We are just protecting the world from harm!

Male user: Protecting the world? Causing destruction by saving the world does not mean that you are protecting the world, Tachibana.

Hibiki: C-Causing destruction..?

Male user: Let us be fair then, my name is Soran. 2nd in command of the Order Patch and we seek only order! If there is no order, there will be war!

Tsubasa: War?! Foolish of you! You think you could stop us?!

Soran: I never said I was the only male Symphogear user. -Soran said as he took a step into the vehicle behind him as the hatched closed and then it accelerated and escaped as the three watched them escape-

Hibiki: A-A war..?

Tsubasa: Tachibana, don't think too much about it, it is only words. He is lying.

Hibiki: He isn't! Think about it Tsubasa-san!

Maria: Hibiki! Calm down! You're overthinking it!

Hibiki: I am not! You just don't realise that what he just said is actually true! The way we've been protecting this planet is wrong..

Tsubasa: W-What are you trying to say?

Hibiki: We get innocent people involved in our fights! During our battles, homes are getting destroyed! People die from our enemies when we are ordered to keep the people safe but still, many of them died!

Tsubasa: Tachibana..

Hibiki: I hate to admit it but I would have to agree with that guy! Although it's obvious that he's our enemy, I agree with the fact that the way we are doing things is wrong!

Maria: -She would then walk up to Hibiki and slapped her face strongly, causing Hibiki to fall down as her cheek was red from the slap and Hibiki would put her hand on her cheek- You idiot! Even if the things we do are bad! There is still good in them! If three people were killed because of us, we will be able to save millions from the sacrifice of three!

Hibiki: Then why don't we just sacrifice ourselves..

Tsubasa: Tachibana!

Maria: No Tsubasa! I get it! Hibiki, I get it! You're now looking back at what we've done in the past but there's nothing we can do about it! All we have to do now is look ahead, okay? -She said as she got down to Hibiki and placed a hand on Hibiki's shoulder but Hibiki then slapped Maria's hand away as she deactivated her gear and just walked away- Hibiki..

Tsubasa: L-Let's just leave her alone for a while, but first. We must discuss this matter with the commander.

Maria: What? Oh, Y-Yes! Yeah, you're right.. -Maria can't help but worry for Hibiki as she just watched her walk away, looking depressed-

-In the vehicle of the escaped male users-

Soran: Jin's gonna kill you when he finds out that you nearly crushed his sister.

Male user 2: Ah don't worry~ Besides, I put my sister in the ranks of the two crushed set too anyway, so we're even!

Soran: I don't understand you, Kinji.. You've been looking for your sister for over a decade and this is what you do when you see her again?

Kinji: Haha! -The blonde male laughed loudly as he pressed a button on the controls as the vehicle started to drive on its own as Kinji turned his seat back to Soran as he had a lightly gold armored Symphogear on as well as a pair of goggles on his head, a bot then walked up to Kinji and gave him a bottle of coke as Kinji then opened it up and drank it- Look, Soran. I know you are concerned about the girls but we need to show real strength! That is what Jin-san said as well! Besides, I Akatsuki Kinji will not back down from an order by my superior!

Soran: I just hope Jin knows what he is doing..

Kinji: Hey hey~ Don't go blaming Jin-san for this! It's like what you said: "Causing destruction by saving the world does not mean that you are protecting the world." and "If there is no order, there will be war!" Is what you said too~

Soran: Yeah but still, the girls would be valuable allies!

Kinji: Look! Even if they become our allies! We still need show them that the Order Patch is not something they can toy with! We are the first few Male Symphogear users on the planet! Before us was some guy named "Shan Vile" or whoever that guy is! Look, the important thing is that we will show them that we are the ultimate users! No matter what they use! I'm sure you've seen the records of their battles! The Ignite Module and X-Drive! Along with their Swan Song! The ultimate buff for them!

Soran: What's your point?

Kinji: They may have those power ups but we have the three things that the girls do not possess.

Soran: Hmm? -He raised an eyebrow as he crossed his arm and looked at Kinji-

Kinji: Light Side form! Granting use male users of the element of light to be able to control anything made out of light! Dark Side form! transforming a dark elemental based user into the ultimate fighter that not even the Ignite Module could compete with! Then we have the three ultimate fighters. You, Jin-san and Haruka. With Jin-san's Dragon Resonance, Haruka's Black Superb Song and your ability to transform into Shiranui or even the Demi-God known as Kusanagi or even Ninetails would frighten them! Besides! If you look at Hibiki-chan, you know for a fact that she never had a weakness from all of her past battles...Until now.. -Kinji smug at Soran as he then pointed at Soran- Her new biggest weakness..

Soran: -He said nothing as he was thinking about what Kinji said and was concerned about Hibiki but he kept quiet and acted like nothing happened- I see..

Kinji: Don't worry, Jin-san doesn't know who are the other users! He only knows that his sister, Shirabe-chan is a user~

Soran: Why's that?

Kinji: He wants to surprise himself, is what he said..

Soran: Typical Jin.
