It was late in the evening and Serena just finished cleaning the kitchen after making herself a good meal. Then she heard somebody ringing on the door. She turned and wondered, "Who could it be? I told nobody where I live during my stay."

She got to the door and checked who was standing in front of it. She spotted a woman with white long hair and purple eyes. She wore blue jeans and a red vest. Opening the door slightly, ready to shut it close anytime, asks asked, "Can I help you?"

"Your name is Serena Schwarzmagier?''

"That's correct," told the blue haired girl. "And you are?"

"I'm Chris Yukine. I am one of the teachers in your school,'' Chris said while she had some paper in her hands. "You have accidentally forgotten to sign some papers.''

Serena sighed and opened the door completely, "I thought all of them had my mark. Come in please."

Chris walked in and went to the living room. She gave her the paper and began to write her name.

Serena started signing them while Chris took the opportunity to look around… nothing unusual except for the lack of a family picture of her family in the living room, "Where are your parents?'' asked Chris.

"They are on a business trip," told Serena. "I am alone here until they get back."

"Why do you not have a picture or two photo from your parents?''

"Because my parents accidentally took most of the pictures. There was a mixup in the package. At best I have only a pic of my mother in the house, which is in my bedroom," Serena said as she gave the paper to her teacher. Chris took the paper and left.

Serena looked after the teacher and wondered, "Why didn't they just wait until tomorrow and called me to the office to take care of this?"

Little Stars Home

Everybody just finished the dinner and Harmonia told, "You made a wonderful meal like always Hibiki-San."

"And thank you for helping preparing the food,'' said Hibiki. "I was looking forward to meeting new kids who come to live here. I totally forgot to cook for anyone,'' while she looked outside and saw Youta and Kanade playing with the kids.

"It's not a problem," told Harmonia with a smile and helped cleaning the dishes, before noting, "It's lonely at home without father."

"No worries Harmonia-chan! Terra is one of the strongest Keyblade wielders there! He will be back before you can say Firaga!''

"I know! Nobody can defeat father but… he is already gone far longer than usual and from the last letter we got, he stated each time they thought they finally dealt with it, it started again just far worse than before… like somebody is was playing games with them," explained Harmonia and sighed.

Hibiki was about to say something until they heard a scream. They looked out of the window and sees saw Chris with a ball on her face

"This must hurt," told Harmonia with a sweatdrop while the children were running. Since they already learnt about the temper of Chris, "May I ask who kicked this ball?''

Everybody pointed at Youta, ''Hehe … Sorry. I did not see you there Chris-san.''

"Dammit, Youta! Look before you kick the damn ball!'' screamed Chris to Youta.

Harmonia sweatdropped and told, "I think Youta should really learn to watch out. She has a really bad tendency of running into people or hitting others with projectiles."

Hibiki went outside to calm Chris down, "It was just an accident Chris-chan. It's not as if you often to get a ball on your face.''

"This was the 15th time that Youta shot a ball on to my face Hibiki!'' Chris yelled at Hibiki while she went a step backward.

"So Chris, you just came to yell at Youta and Hibiki-san or something else?'' asked Kanade.

Chris take took a deep breath and say said, "Yes it is about your so-called classmate, Serena.''

"So called?" asked Harmonia. "What is wrong with Serena? Granted she isn't the nicest but still," and to answer Harmonia's question Chris picked her I-Pad from her purse.

"An I-Pad?" asked Harmonia confused and on the I-Pad with a photo of Serena with word unknown on it. Harmonia looks to at the word and turns back "What does it mean?"

"This means Serena doesn't exist at all" told Chris. Harmonia looks more confused "But… we all saw her, so how could she not exist?"

''I was at her apartment and told that she forgot to write some papers'' Chris says and then Kanade understands what her plan is ''You went after her fingerprint. Is it not?'' Chris nods her head

''But why do you want Serena-chan's fingerprint?'' asks Youta ''Two days ago, We had received a message from Mickey. that their found a signal which is the same as the thing that Terra and the rest fighting against.''anyone shocked what they just heard.

''Oi! wait a minute! if it is so. Then why did you not tell us?'' Ask Kanade

"I thought their were fighting against hordes of heartless" told Harmonia

''This signal indicates that a person with strong magic and it is not a Heartless or a Nobody. and the signal is found today.'' And that Youta remembered the accident this morning ''Chris-san! was that signal around our school?''

''Yes. Why do you ask?'' ''Is the accident this morning. Is it Youta?'' asks Kanade and Hibiki look at her daughter. ''Accident? What does Kanade-chan mean by accident! Youta?'

''A boy was almost hit by a cart and I tries to save him. until I suddenly became faster.'' told Youta ''And not only that! I met Serena-chan an mij way to school and she was not wearing her school uniform!''

''I asked the director who Serena is. He said she an exchange student from Germany and I knew nothing about an exchange student.''

"Well… we found it already odd that we didn't learn about an exchange student beforehand" admits Harmonia "But… why should she do all of this?"

''We simply ask Serena-chan!'' Hibiki says, but then gets a finger flick from Chris ''You blockhead! If you do that, she will properly use her powers against us!"

''What else can we do?'' Asks Youta and Kanade joked. ''We played 50 questions with her.''

"I don't think she would even answer a single one" told Harmonia. "But what should we do when we meet her in school tomorrow?" and suddenly Chris's phone went off and pick it up ''What is it? What! You are joking! Is this true?''

Everybody looked at her in confusion and Hibiki asked, "What is wrong Chris-chan?"

"Headquarters picked a signal above the city! And it's big!'' exclaimed Chris and Harmonia asked.

"It is the Heartless?''

"No! They say that this signal is nothing compare to the other!''

Suddenly, they heard a crackling sound, "Huh? Did you guys hear that?'' Kanade asked everyone and looked where that sound was coming from. Youta looked up and saw a crack starting to forming in the sky!

"T-there is a crack in the sky!'' She point at the sky and everyone looked at it gasping

"What… what is that?" asked Harmonia.

The Children of the Little Stars Home were hiding behind Hibiki, afraid of what would happen. And suddenly, the crack began glowing and burst apart! And from the crack came a giant white energy that resembled a bird.

"What the hell is that? A Lightbringer?'' asked Kanade.

The bird flapped its wings and threw energy balls to the Little Stars Home, "Shit, we gotta get out of here! Now!'' Kanade yelled and everything started running, but Youta trip on a rock and fall on the ground.

"Youta! Run!'' yelled Hibiki.

Youta looked up and saw the energy balls almost there!

Hibiki rushed to her daughter hoping that she could save her. But what Youta only did was just scream in fear. Everything seemed hopeless until an ice wall formed around the orphanage. The energy balls hit the wall.

"I should have known that you're giving me problems,'' everyone turns turned around and saw Serena in her normal clothes.

"How did you find this place?" asked Harmonia surprised.

"The answer is simple. I secretly followed Yukine. I had a feeling that she was hiding something. And now excuse me! There is a bird that has to be taken care of," adds added in and went over to have a good view of it.

"Serena! It's too dangerous!" protested Harmonia, trying to stop the blue haired girl.

However, Serena pushed her back and told, "I can watch out for myself!"

Suddenly, the bird flew over the orphanage and tried to attack again. Serena snapped her fingers and lightning came from above the monster but it had little effect.

Then she held her hand out and a large energy ball grew. Once it was in the size of a basketball, for more balls surrounded it before changing into the form of spears. Then the ball and spears were shot in high speed against the bird and upon impact, the energy attacks exploded, creating a shockwave that destroyed rows of windows and caused even Hibiki and the others to get pushed by it, though Serena seems to be somehow unaffected from the aftermath of her magic attack.

"Damn! She will destroy the orphanage if she goes on like this!'' Chris said and starts singing.

Serena looked at Chris. "Great…"

Suddenly, Chris' clothes disappeared and then she wears her Symphogear.

Serena crossed her arms, "Do you think with your guns you do better against this? Or Symphogear in general?"

"How...? AAh! Fuck it!'' Chris's arm guards suddenly turned into miniguns started shooting at bird. But it have no effect. "Hibiki! To take the children to HQ while Kanade and I distract that stupid bird!''

"Okay!'' said Hibiki and gathered all the children and starts started running.

"Harmonia! Keep an eye on Youta!'' Kanade started also to sing and her clothes disappeared and then she wears a dark blue predominantly, but also sports red and white parts, with the first ones being shaped like flames and the second resembling phoenix's limbs. It's basically made up of three different parts: the revealing breastplate with phoenix like wings attached to it, with the gauntlets and the phoenix claw shaped greaves.

Serena created a barrier to block some of the bird's attacks as they flew at them, countering with a few elemental attacks, trying to figure out which one had the biggest effect against the enemy, but the bird dodge dodged almost all elemental attacks.

Serena changed tactics and began shooting homing attacks. They were not so strong like normal projectile spells but they were sure hits. Chris performed a Megadeth Quartet.

Kanade draw a katana from one of her wings and flew toward the bird giving it a couple of slashes before moving away just in time as the missiles and Serena's homing attacks hit the monster.

Serena looked closely which of the elements damaged it the most so she could concentrate on one element. Kanade's sword began growing big and delivered a swing laced with blue flame against the bird.

But the bird fired a laser against Kanade's attack. The attacks collided and created a large explosion.

Meanwhile, by Hibiki's group, they were almost at the S.D.A.U. HQ until they heard the explosion. Youta & co looked at where the orphanage was and saw a big smoke coming from there, Is the scary bird gone? asked a kid.

The smoke cleared up and they saw that the bird is was still alive, "There is not even a scratch on the bird,'' said Youta surprised.

"Is there a way to defeat this creature?" asked Harmonia.

Two of their strongest Symphogear users, even with the help of Serena, they were having difficulty against the alien monster. Was there no hope to defeat that thing?

"Never give up hope!'' everyone looked at Hibiki. "As long as you never give up hope! A miracle is always possible!''

"But what can we do Mom? Kanade-chan Serena-chan and Chris-san are doing their very best to beat that bird but cannot even make a scratch on that monster!'' exclaimed Youta while Hibiki suddenly hugged her daughter.

"Do you remember the stories I told when you were still little? About how I your father and I and our friends saved the multiverse?'' asked Hibiki and let go of Youta.

"Of course I remember them Mom. You and Dad were the best there was!''

Hibiki giggled of Youta's excitement.

"But there were moments where I thought of. 'Can I really save anyone?' or 'Am I really worthy to use Gungnir?'' told Hibiki. "But thanks to the support of my friends, I finally know what I can do and how I can help people. And if we have hope in our hearts and we support and help each other, we can make a miracle with no problem!''

Another set of explosions came and they could hear the bird crying while chains wrapped around it. It seemed somebody was using a spell in attempt to prevent the enemy from moving.

on top of a building, Serena stood in the middle of a magic circle, hands spread out while in the air several other magic circles surrounded the avian and from the center of each of them came a magic chain which is was wrapping the bird.

Serena gritted her teeth since that kind of magic required a lot of energy and concentration… one mistake and she would lose it and be unable to keep on. If she knew the weakness of it, she could add the element into the chains, turning the trapping spell into an offensive cutting spell.

"Mom! Harmonia! Go on without me!'' shouted Youta.

Hibiki smiled and said to her daughter, "Youta, show that bird what a Yuma can do!'' and went away with the children to HQ.

Youta started the singing and instantly change in to her Symphogear consisting of a white, black and yellow bodysuit that exposed her belly button, a pair of white-yellow thigh-high boots, black-like feathers are also attached on her back.

And she had a yellow cat tail on her butt and cat ears like head phone on her head and she wore bulky gauntlets with claws on her wrists. "Hold on! Youta Yuma is ready for action!'' and went to her friends.
