Disclaimer: Kamen Rider created by Ishinomori Shotaro while Senki Zesshou Symphogear written by Kaneko Akifumi and Agematsu Noriyasu. I gain no profit from this and don't own any of the series or by now there would be a real crossover between them already.
In the next day after OOO and Ankh battle against Poseidon, Eiji groggily get up he notice that his wounds have mostly been bandaged, he also lying on a bed in a small room, it actually not that different then the room he used to stay at International Cuisine Restaurant Cous Coussier. As he look around in confusion he heard the Greeed voice call out to him.
Ankh: "We are in a restaurant called Sunflower, what is with you and restaurant owned by women anyway? Is like both are connected by some kind of weird twisted version String of Fate."
As Eiji about to turn around and retort to him he froze as he take in Ankh appearance right now.
Eiji: "A..Ankh, you are a hand again?" Asked in somewhat shocked tone.
Ankh: "Thank you I would have never been able to register such important fact without you point it out to me." Replied in the most deadpanned tone Eiji ever heard from the Greeed and that saying something.
Eiji: "But...how did this happen?"
Ankh: "Obviously from the battle with Poseidon, that bastard damage me too much so i basically can't conjure up my form right now. But ignore it, I most likely will regain my form given enough time. I have enough of my Core Medals for it anyway." Just as he finish the sound of the door being open can be heard.
Eiji is a bit surprised that Ankh didn't bother hiding at all. Could the person who helped him already saw Ankh? But before he could ponder more the Boss Lady already step in with a small plastic wash-basin contain hot water and a tower in it. The women let out a surprise gasp as she see Eiji.
Boss Lady: "My...you are up already? Thank goodness, you don't known how bad you look last night when I found you. I was so worried, I couldn't just leave you in the bush like that but there are no paper or anything on you to tell me who you are so I can only bring you back here." Said with a sigh of relief as she put down the basin next to Eiji's bed. "Plus when i consider of bringing you to hospital you so against it you even try your hardest to speak."
Having no collection of such thing though Eiji cast a glance toward Ankh, who he now notice the lady didn't even seem to notice his presence at all, in return the arm just make a wave it off movement further confirmed what Eiji suspect. But he also didn't forget some stranger just go through lots of trouble to help a stranger like him.
Eiji: "Uhm...thanks a lot for all your trouble, I apologize for inconvenience you with my problem." Said with a small bow of his head since he still feel a bit sting with his body but the Boss Lady just wave it off lightly with a smile.
Boss Lady: "You could even keep up your manner in moment like this? Boy you sure are a different one aren't you? Eh..." Said in amusment as she trail off as Eiji quickly introduce himself.
Eiji: "Oh right. My name is Eiji, Hino Eiji. Nice to meet you Ms..."
Boss Lady: "Hehehe is fine, you can just call me Boss Lady, that's how everyone call me around here. I am the owner of this Okonomiyaki store called Sun Flower." She introduced herself, Eiji noticed in slight amusement how she sound a bit proudly when it come to the part of her store. Eiji sure that the food she make must be very delicious. "By the way Eiji-kun, what happened to you that make you so wounded?" Asked with a worried expression.
Eiji: "Eh? Well...uhm I kind of got to some fight you see...a friend of my was in a bit of a pinch." Replied Eiji a bit vaguely.
Ankh can't help but snort, in term of understatement go this must be one of the biggest example that he known. Meanwhile the Boss Lady though seem to look at Eiji in surprise.
Boss Lady: "So you get this wounded because you protect your friend? You two must be very close eh?" Once again Eiji actually feel amused as how Ankh's snort quickly change to gagged sound, speaking of which how is a hand even gagged anyway? Then again he already see Ankh eat an ice cream with just his hand once right? "By the way where is this friend of your now?" Her question once more brought Eiji mind back to her as he quickly think of the answer.
Eiji: "Eh...because I afraid if we stick together it will increase the chance of getting caught up by the one who attack us so we split up already."
Boss Lady: "I see...still he shouldn't has abandon you when you are this wounded." Said with a small frown while Eiji wave his hand in denial.
Eiji: "Ah no. He didn't want to you known? But I told him it is better to split, if one of us unlucky get caught again then at least me or him can think of a way to save the other." Said hastily while Ankh just let out a tch, is not like the Greeed need him to save his face or something so why he even bother? Beside Ankh known if it really happen then Eiji will either save him if he get caught or want him to runaway if Eiji is the one that get caught instead.
Boss Lady: "You said that...but I got a feeling you are the one who would risk his life for his friend, while in return you wouldn't want your friend to do the same thing if you are the one get caught." Surprisingly the lady actually said what Ankh has in mind, maybe this women is more sharper than the Greeed thought after all.
Eiji: "Ahahaha..." laughed bashfully as he scratch his hair, he then made a stretching motion as he prepare to stand up. "Well then I shouldn't bother you much longer, I will leave now." But before he could stand up the Boss Lady quickly push him back down gently.
Boss Lady: "Now hold on a minute here, I don't known about other but I can't let someone wounded like you to just struggle out there like this." Said with a stern voice.
Eiji: "Eh? But...I might not have enough money. It just barely enough for me to get some meal and new pair of underwear."
Boss Lady: "Well...in that case...Eiji are you good with working in restaurant?" Asked as a thought that Ankh could already guess form in her mind.
Eiji: "Well I do. In fact I spent a year help out in a restaurant before but..." Said a bit hesitated as he also known what the kind lady thinking but she already cut him off.
Boss Lady: "That's great then! When you get well enough work for me as a staff member, I will give you a place to stay and paid for you too. How's that?" Asked happily while Eiji seem like he want to reject the offer, it feel like he taking advantage of this lady plus there also Poseidon he need to worry about but Ankh cut him off again with his own opinion.
Ankh: "It's not a bad deal, we are basically alone in this world, I known you worry about Poseidon but trust me I can tell after your suicide attack he take quite a damage even for a Greeed. So right now he must using this time to recover, we should also use this chance for us to heal and ready for our big battle, if we charge recklessly we might be the one who will lose and then no one can stop that fake Greeed. Plus to find a place to crash and a job stable for you to work is also a good thing for you." Said as he seem supportive of the idea but Eiji's knowning glance made him add the main reason a bit reluctantly. "And of course this also give you money to buy ice cream for me." Yeah Eiji expect that much already.
And so with an acceptance sigh, he let out a smile and nod. Seeing this the Boss Lady smile grew larger as she clasp her hand together.
Boss Lady: "Perfect. With this you got a place to stay, and I got a good worker. Well then as the Boss Lady of the Sunflower Store, welcome Hino Eiji-kun as our newest employer." Said with a smile as she give out a handshake that Eiji take.
And that is how the mysterious OOO sought out by the 2nd Division become an employee for the Sunflower Store near the Lydian Academy. This decision would lead Eiji to eventually meet the Songstresses face to face, some start out as friend, while other might treat him like outright enemies. But when it come to it the Multi-King will definitely protect the Song that will save this world.

End song.
Six months has been since then pass by peacefully for both Eiji and Ankh, who till now still hid himself from the Boss Lady. The woman never regret her choice to hire Eiji, in fact she feel quite a shame that Eiji didn't come sooner it would have make her job much more easier. Not to mention he really is friendly and quickly get to known most of the familiar customers of this place, who in turn also take a good liking to this new staff who very cheerful not to mention helpful to everybody. Most of them like the elder has been helped by him when they meet on the street with things like carry heavy stuff or help them cross the street or even help those that injured in their leg to run their errands. They known lots of people who good at heart but they have to admit is rare to see a young man like Eiji. If only they known there is more reason why it guarantee they can't find any young man like Eiji easily, one of it is that he has to constantly buy ice cream for an astral floating arm that actually a powerful being made of Desire itself.
As Eiji think of this point he can't help but sigh a bit, he doesn't mind using the money for Ankh's ice cream but he will need a new underwear soon and if Ankh keep eating at this rate his wallet will have enough space to store an entire warehouse.
Boss Lady: "What's wrong Eiji? You seem a bit down." Said as she add some sauce to her cooking pan while Eiji helping her wash and put away the dish.
Eiji: "Oh is nothing, I almost done with the dish do you need me to do anything else?"
Boss Lady: "Well...I think we run out of flour. Can you go and get it for me Eiji-kun?"
Eiji: "Alright, I will be back right away." Said as he put away the last dish then take off his apron, which is not girly at all by the way.
As Eiji go out of the store and get on his bike to go to the market he found the kind of flour the restaurant use soon enough. But on his way back he stopped as he spot someone familiar looking up at a tall tree which has a cat stuck on top of it.
Eiji: "Hibiki-chan?" As she heard her name being called the orange haired girl turn around and has a smile on her face as she saw who it is.
Hibiki: "Ah! Eiji-kun. What are you doing here?"
Eiji: "Just getting some flour, so that cat get stuck up there eh?"
Hibiki: "Yeah, I was on my way to school when I see it stuck on the tree like that."
Eiji: "Hm...okay then Hibiki-chan wait here okay?"
Hibiki: "Eh?"
Eiji: "Well we shouldn't let your school uniform be ruined right? And don't worry I known how to do this." Said confidently as he start climb up to the tree and soon enough he reach where the kitty is, but the frightened kitty scratched his hand. "Ouch, ahahaha...you must be quite afraid eh? Don't worry I am here to get you down." Said softly despite the scratch bleed as the cat finally settle down and let Eiji carry it. He then drop himself and land to the ground easily.
Hibiki: "Woah...Eiji-kun you are amazing!" Said as she clasp her hands in amazement until she saw Eiji bleeding wound. "Oh but your hand is bleeding, wait a sec." Said as she take out from her pocket a bandage.
Eiji: "Ah it just a small wound don't worry about it Hibiki-chan."
Hibiki: "No way, it could get infected you known? Now stay still." Said in a somewhat cute determine way as she apply the bandage to Eiji's hand. " There all done." Said somewhat proudly with a beaming smile as she stare at her work, she then also has a soft smile as she look at Eiji not caring for his wound but instead pet the cat gently, only when she with Eiji like this she somewhat understand what Miku feel like when dealing with her antic. It make her feel connected to Eiji someway and also thankful for having a friend like Miku.
Eiji: "Arigatou Hibiki-chan...though I surprise you keep a bandage on you like that." Said as he keep petting the cat, an action copied by Hibiki but she look a bit bashful as she heard this.
Hibiki: "Well...actually Miku is the one who give them to me since she known I tend to get hurt a lot when I help people like just now which I sure I would have more than just a scratch if it was me." Said with a somewhat embarassed smile as she scratch the back of her head in a nervous manner.
Eiji: "Well is not wrong to help out other but you should look after yourself too Hibiki-chan." Said a bit worried as he known of the girl habit by now to care more about other than herself. And yes what a perfect example of pot calling kettle black, a statement Ankh would make if he were here.
During his six months staying here, he coincidentally meet Hibiki again along with her best friend Miku. Inwardly Eiji is glad one of the girl he saved is okay as the same time the three of them get to known each other very well to the point one could call friend. More so of the case between Hibiki and Eiji, Miku more than once had point out how the two so resemble each other as well as Ankh too. Both of them keep wondering if the two related in some case despite how the latter known how impossible that would be. He also learn that the two of them study in the same school at the two other girls he helped, Tsubasa Kazanari and Kanade Amou but sadly the latter still in coma, the school is called Lydian Private Music Academy...wait...
Eiji: "Ano...Hibiki-chan...isn't your class have been start for a while already?" And that one question make a Hibiki petting the cat froze like a statue...she then slowly turn toward Eiji with a comical expression with trail of anime tears flow from her eyes.
Hibiki: "Crap...I'm late."
Standing in front of the gate now is a very pissed off teacher of a certain orange hair girl's class. The reason is also that certain orange hair girl, once again she was late to class. Not only did that girl always late and sometimes sleep in class but she get distracted easy too, of course that doesn't mean she doesn't known where the girl's heart lie. She can see this particular student have a good heart, but still it would do her lots of good if she paid even a bit of attention to class. Anyway she would give her 5 more minutes if she doesn't be here then the gate will be cl...
VROOM! Right at that moment the sound of an engine can be heard as a bike head to her way with two people on it, since they wear helmets she can't see their faces she can see the uniform the one sitting behind is wearing as the same time she has saw this bike before. Just as she thought of that though the bike stop in front of her with the passenger jump down right away and take off her helmet revealing it is Hibiki.
"Tachibana...I see you manage to make a new record of your tardiness today eh?" Said in a strained voice as she seem barely controlling her anger.
Hibiki: "Well...you see..." As she seem to dread with sweat Eiji cut in for her.
Eiji: "Uhm about that actually she helped me miss. I got hurt at my hand so she lend me a bandage and well it make her get here late so if anything I apologize for this." Said as he bow his head in apologize and subtly stop Hibiki when she seem like want to protest. The teacher meanwhile just gave out a sigh as she seem used to this antics.
"Really...Eiji-san this isn't the first time you cover for her like this...is not like I have anything against her too but really she should paid a bit attention to her class more." Said sternly as she sweat-dropped seeing the two have a same downed expression, she expect that reaction from her student but seeing it from Eiji too... "He just like a kid...not to mention to resemble Hibiki." As she let out another sigh she has a small hidden soft smile before she address the two again. "Alright we don't have time for this just get to class Hibiki." Said as the two expression brighten up right away, again cue sweat-drop from the teacher.
Hibiki: "Thanks teacher!" Said happily as she bow to her teacher.
Eiji: "This is great eh Hibiki-chan?" Asked happily too while Hibiki nod.
Hibiki: "Well then thanks for giving me a ride Eiji-kun!" Stated as she give him a playful salute which he nodded in return, she then follow her teacher to go to class. Eiji then proceed to ride back to the restaurant to hand his Boss the flour.
Eiji: "I'm back." Said as he walk in the store. "Here boss lady" said as he hand her the flour.
Boss lady: "Thanks a lot Eiji I'm sure is lucky to have someone like you work for me, you not even take much salary and is more helpful than everyone I could ask."
Eiji: "Don't said that, I would have be in big trouble if you didn't find me beside the salary is for tomorrow underwear." he said with a smile just then like he listen to some voice that only he can hear "oh and ice cream too." "Barely with the rate Ankh eating that is." He mentally thought as he has to chuckle.
Boss lady: "Haha You sure are a strange fellow but I like you Eiji–kun oh we should get ready the customers would be here any minutes now."
Eiji: "Hai. Just let me go upstairs and put my stuff away." Said as he made his way to his room and just as he open it a familiar hand get in his face again. "Woah! Ankh don't scare me like that!" Exclaimed in surprise while Ankh just let out a huff.
Ankh: "Hm! If I was the enemy you would lose your head long ago already." Said arrogantly just like his typical speaking style. Eiji meanwhile just scratch his hair in a give up manner.
Eiji: "(Sigh) Yeah yeah...anyway here is the ice cream for you today." Said as he give him the bag of ice creams he just bought, the Greeed hungrily take it as he dig in and for a moment the hand could be seen to be in a blissful state. "So how are you feeling now Ankh?" Asked as he sit down on the bed while the hand already work on the second stick but he turn his attention to Eiji as he answer.
Ankh: "Well I recovering fairly good given the damage I take. Could be longer with few Cell Medals but still what about you? How's the Purple Medals behaving?"
Eiji: "Ah...how nice you worried." Said in a joking voice but the Greeed didn't seem to enjoy it.
Ankh: "Eiji, I am serious." Said sternly as Eiji also frown a bit as he clutch his chest, where he feel the Medals are despite one wouldn't be able to see anything.
Eiji: "They still...seem like in a bit of a wild state. I guess to use their powers like that in the fight with Poseidon really make the reform process a bit complicated." Said truthfully as he can feel the energy seem to stable themselves but right now is still fragile it could go wild any moment.
Ankh: "Who would have thought you would see a situation like this...Eiji the Medals are bonding with you in an unbelievable level, I don't need to said about the power but you have to be careful, we don't known how it will affect you now so I will said this again don't use any Full Combo. We don't known what kind of backlash might happen, wait until your Purple Medals are fully stable then we will work out something from there." Said seriously as Eiji nod, Ankh meanwhile still worry of course he will never said it. But he known Eiji too well, he has a bad feeling about this, he just known there will be a time the idiot ignore his advice again and go reckless he wouldn't be himself if he didn't do that anyway. "By the way what with your hand?" Asked as his tone become uncaring facade again.
Eiji: "Hm? Oh this? Well I meet Hibiki-chan on the street just now you see and we helped this cat." Said as he look at the bandage again, bunny figure...how fitting.
Ankh: "Ah the female carbon copy of you eh?"
Eiji: "Would you stop saying that Ankh? We are not that alike."
Ankh: "Yeah...You two only have the same quirks of think of other before yourself, always seem to act like an idiot, and always seems cheerful like the world around you is made of rainbow or something...you right I can't see any resemblance there."
Eiji: "Been awhile to see you use your sarcastic voice to such a degree Ankh." Deadpanned as he sweat-dropped, well when being compare like that...
Ankh: "But still...to think she one of the girls you saved...what are the chance and the other also study in the same school right?...Hm what her name again...Tsubaru?"
Eiji: "It Kazanari Tsubasa, Ankh, and don't pretend like you don't remember." Said a bit annoyed as he known by now Ankh already known all the news there is involve the attack of Zwei Wing since that was when he first come to this world after all.
Ankh: "And you should stop thinking that you could have come sooner too Eiji." Replied coldly as Eiji grimaced a bit.
Eiji: "I already accept that..."
Ankh: "(Tch) Wrong. You known that but couldn't accept it, every time you heard of the Zwei Wing or one of the members from that orange hair girl you look like someone just stole your...nah someone just stole somebody else money that need for their surgery and you couldn't do anything about it." Said as he take another bite from another ice cream.
Eiji: "I known...but in the end this is how I am, this regret I will take it as it is part of me. I will always want to be there to reach out for someone and I will regret it like I am dying if I can't but I will keep moving forward. So I can keep reaching out for other until I have my last breath, that's the life I will live, the life that I can really said live with no regret." Said as he clench his fist but then he feel something hit his head lightly, as he look up he see is Ankh throwing an ice cream stick at him.
Ankh: "Enough already this may me unable to enjoy my ice cream, anyway you need to help your Boss with the work right? Hurry up or she won't paid you and I won't have any ice cream." Said as the hand turn around and enjoy another stick while Eiji just smile softly, his friend really never good with speaking his mind.
Eiji: "Hai...hai..." Said as he stand up and go to the door, but just when he outside and almost close it he said few last work. "I think this is what they call a tsundere Ankh." Said jokingly as he slam the door right away. The small sound of explosions and bunch of death threats aim at him following it is totally worth it.
Now to work on the food, he sure Hibiki would come with Miku again today, that girl love food as much as Ankh love underwear, he can just imagine her stuffing down food cutely until her tummy become as big as a Neko Yummy stomach...and then proceed to flat down again...weird but oh well he can just imagine that scene in his head...
Hibiki: "(Sigh)...I don't even feel my appetite anymore." Said dejectedly as she slump down on the table.
Eiji: "Eh?" Was all he could said in a bit of bewilderment, like he said is like seeing Ankh reject ice cream...and that was just...inconceivable. "Uhm is something wrong Hibiki-chan?" Asked worriedly while Miku next to her just giggled to her hand as she answer the question for her friend.
Miku: "Eiji-kun, she just down because her encounter with her idol face to face ended badly."
Eiji: "Eh?" Asked once again and so Miku retell the encounter Hibiki Tachibana has with Tsubasa Kazanari, how short it was and how Hibiki left an unforgettable impression...in a not so good way in her opinion. "Ah...So that's what happen..." Said also a bit amused like Miku. "Don't worry Hibiki I am sure is not that bad."
Hibiki: "Mou..." She pouted as she move her face to look at Eiji while still put her head on the table. "Eiji-kun you said that but I bet you never have to face your idol with rice stuck on your mouth eh? She probably think I'm weird now."
Miku: "Isn't that how you are though?"
Hibiki: "That so mean Miku-chan."
Eiji: "Well...to be fair I did show up in front of the police force, ambulance and some firefighters in just an underwear." Said as he rub the back of his head sheepishly but then dead silent follow as he look back and see both girls look at him with wide comical eyes. "Eh...it a long story." Said quickly but the girls still stare at him, guess is time for some distraction. "Uhm...Hibiki-chan isn't today the day that the new album for that same idol come out?" Asked as Hibiki instantly snap her head up.
Hibiki: "Oh right! I forgot! Crap if I don't go now it may sold out! I have to go now see you later Eiji-kun! Miku-chan! Boss Lady!" Call out hastily as she quickly run out of the door.
"Have a safe trip." All three of them call out with Eiji let out a small sigh of relief but he see Miku give him a small knowing look with a smile as she resume her meal. Guess he really not that good with distraction eh?
But still as he watch Hibiki leave with a cheerful smile, Eiji feel a little better as he was still able to save this girl life in a right time. Meanwhile Ankh hidden from other watch the exchange and he only had one comment to Eiji.
Ankh: "Idiot." He then float back to the room, seems like today will be pass by normally again guess he should enjoy it while still can, there are few sticks of ice cream left after all.
As Hibiki made her way to the store, which at this time is noon already, she notice something strange there is no one around here the street is too quiet. As she walk further she notice that pile of ashes are everywhere and this led to one conclusion.
Hibiki: "The Noise is here." Said fearfully as she keep running to find a way out of here just at that moment she saw a little girl crying in the middle of the street.
Right now in the 2nd Division Headquarter all the staff are in highest guard as they focus on their screen, since they just detect the signal of the Noises.
Tsubasa: "Tell me about the situation." said as she rushed to the commander room.
"We have located the Noise!" one of the staff reported.
Meanwhile back at Eiji, and Boss Lady who are preparing to clean the store they then heard the warning signal of the Noises.
Boss Lady: "Oh dear, Eiji-kun we have to evacuate now." Said frightened as Eiji himself suddenly remember where Hibiki is right now, as he worry for his friend's safety he made his way to the door. "Eiji-kun where are you going!?" Call out as Eiji already made his way to the bike.
Eiji: "I think Hibiki leaves her purse! I will return it to her you go to the safety place first Boss!" Call back as he reeve up the engine make a 360 turn and then ride down the road to the direction where he known Hibiki is going all the while ignore his Boss calling out for him, Ankh from the window seeing this just click his tongue but then this isn't anything the idiot can't handle anyway.
As this moment Hibiki with the little girl is trying to run away from the Noise which is everywhere when she and the little girl run to the river the Noise already surround them leaving them no place to run.
"Big sis (..sob…sob… ) I'm afraid." Said the crying girl as she see herself surround by the Noise.
Hibiki: "Don't worry I won't let anyone harm you." Said with resolve in her voice as she hold the little girl hand, both of them jump down the river Hibiki then swim with the girl to the factory nearby she then keep running while carry the girl on her back but then tripped due to exhaustion. Just when Hibiki was ready to give up the image of Kanade appear in her head when she was telling her to stay alive she then struggle to stand up then carry the girl on her back again as she continue to run.
After a while Hibiki climb up to one of the factory tower when she up there she put the girl down while she herself lie down and breath for air after a few moment the little girl ask "Are we going to die?"
Hibiki stood up look at the girl while give her a weak but kind and honest smile while shaking her head but before she could said anything she see that the Noise had found them and they everywhere there is no way they can run anymore. Just as the little girl hide behind Hibiki. Hibiki herself thought if she going to die but then she remember about the girl she decided to protect. She also remember how Kanade had risked her life to protect her, as the same time that image of the fire phoenix that appear at the most desperate time, as if to tell her to never give up, with that she can feel her resolve are back stronger than ever.
At that moment she feel like something strange that is going on inside her at the same time the cross scar she receive from the piece of Kanade armor shine brightly. Inside Hibiki body it reveal the piece of armor is still in her heart. Hibiki let out a few growl then behind her back long big wing made of machine spread out starling the little girl and the Noise the same time. The wing spread out and retract to Hibiki body and every time it did a piece of armor appear on Hibiki body, by the third time her armor is completely. It is similar to Kanade armor but slightly smaller and also seem incomplete with smaller antenna and gauntlet.
At the 2nd Division Head Quarter the commander room everyone is surprised when they receive signal from a Symphogear and even more so when the signal is identified to be Gungnir.
Tsubasa: "But…but how? Kanade is still in the coma." Said as the expression of the sword cracked showing her obvious shocked expression as the signal of the armor of her dear friend is detected. The screen then show image of Hibiki in the Symphogear armor.
At the scene after the transformation Hibiki got a chance to look at herself and she was stunned.
Hibiki: "What is happening to me?"
"Big sis you look cool." The little girl cheered innocently as she look at the new form of Hibiki clad in, unknown to her, the Gungnir Symphogear. But to Hibiki that's not important as she look at the little girl Hibiki start to calm herself then grasp the girl hand.
Hibiki: "That's right I don't know what happen but I know one thing for sure I won't let anyone harm this girl."

Hibiki hold the girl in her arm she then made a jump and was surprise to see the distance she jump which is about 20 to 30 feet easily even when there is a girl in her hand but she panic when she start to fall down once again she is shocked as despite the altitude plus the weight of her armor creating a small crater as she land on her feet, she feel no harm at all but before she could marvel more at her new strength she remember that she is being surrounded by Noises, and look like despite her effort she still can't out run them.
Before she could heard anything she heard someone call her name and a sound of a motorcycle.
End Song.
Eiji: "Hibiki-chan." He called as he made his way to her in his bike.
Hibiki: "Eiji-san what are you doing here?" Asked clearly surprised to see him here, she also worried couldn't he see the Noises are around here?
Eiji: "Looking for you of course you forgot by the way why are you in an armor Hibiki-chan? And who is this little girl? "
Hibiki: "Well you see is actually quite confusing... Wait this is no time for this Eiji-san we have to get out of here there is Noise coming!" Just then the Noise catch up to them.
Eiji: "Yeah. I heard the alarm and on the way here I saw the corpse of people attacked by Noise or what left of them on the way I came here." Said with a pained voice that he wasn't able to help those people. "And now all the Noise are here good thing Boss Lady already evacuate, that leave us. I guess there is no other choice eh Hibiki-chan?" Said with a smile to her to which she was surprised that despise being surround by all these Noise, Eiji was still able to keep his calm expression.
Hibiki: "Eiji-san?"
Eiji start to take out something from his pocket that both Hibiki and the girl can't seem to tell what is it, they were quite surprised to see the thing attach to Eiji waist and form a strange looking belt but for some reason Hibiki feel like she have saw it somewhere before.
Eiji: "Oh by the way I almost forgot little girl what your name?" Said as he remember the presence of the girl while still keep his smile but as the same time he slot a Red Medal to his belt.
Amy: "Huh? Uhm...my name is Amy." For some reason the little girl doesn't feel scarred anymore and was able to answer the young man question even though the Noise are coming closer to them.
Eiji: "Amy huh? That's a nice name." Said as he slot in the Green Medal. "Now Amy don't scare okay? I will bring you and Hibiki-chan back safely so there no need to be scarred." Said to which the girl slowly nod as the same time he slot in his Yellow Medals. He then titled his belt slightly and take out his Medal Scanner and swipe through it.
Eiji: "HENSHIN!"
OOO Driver: "TAKA! TORA! BATTA! TATOBA -TATOBA -TATOBA!"
As the belt announce lots of plate made of energy with diiferent colors form around Eiji and slamed to him transform him to Kamen Rider OOO suprised the little girl because of the change, Hibiki also suprised but for a different reason.
Hibiki: "Eiji-san...you...you are OOO!?"
In front of her is now an armored figure with three different colors of red yellow and green from head to toe and even though his form is different a little bit there is no doubt he is the same armored figure that saved her. And most surprise of all her Savior that she not even sure exist had been right next to her all this time. He is Hino Eiji the man who only care for his tomorrow underwear.
Playing Regret Nothing Tighten Up.
As OOO transformation complete he quickly unfold both his claws as he charge toward the Noises and slashes through them like grass, he then make a high jump to the sky as green electricity gather in his foot as he stomp back down the ground release a wave of green electricity that wipe out more Noises. As the same time he swipe his hand to deflect some of the attack from the Noises, as more of it come his way he make a back flip just as where he stood before exploded. As he land back to the ground he quickly send them multiple bicycle kick sending them all flying back destroyed some of them. The amount of Noises quickly dissipate much to Hibiki's shock
Meanwhile on one of the factory tower faraway watching the fight is Poseidon as he focus his sight on OOO, but he also spare a glance at Hibiki in Gungnir.
Poseidon: "Things seem to be in motion now, OOO how will our presence affect this world? I can't wait to see how our battle decide it." Said as he bring his fist up as it still crackle with purple static, seeing this he let out a small grunt. "But it seem it will have to wait for now so don't die till then OOO..." With that he engulf in water and disappeared.
Before the smoke make by the small explosion even clear OOO run out with his sword in his right hand and the left hand have his claw fold out. He slash with his sword which create another line of energy that cut through all the Noise while he follow right behind it and use his Tora claw to kill all the Noise that haven't been completely destroy by the slash.
Hibiki (Gungnir): "Amazing..." She muttered as she saw OOO taking down so much Noises without any trouble, something not even a military force been able to do against a small group of Noises.
"Woah...Onii-chan you are so strong!" Cheered the little girl next to Hibiki.
Meanwhile another group of Noise was gather in opposite direction OOO was fighting and ready to join the fight as they determine to use sheer number to take out this threat, but before those Noise could make their way to the battle another sound of motorcycle was heard and Tsubasa was seen on her motorcycle riding through the Noise she then jump off the bike as it keep rushing straight to the Noise ahead only to explode upon contact.
End song.
Hibiki (Gungnir): "Tsubasa-san?" said as she is surprised to saw her idol here but when she saw OOO appearance plus the armor she wear right now she realize that what she saw few months ago was not a dream and Tsubasa can also fight against the Noise.
Tsubasa cast a glance to Hibiki then to OOO who is fighting against the Noise which also stopped for few seconds to look at her, seeing her made him feel more relieve he then turn his attention back to the gathering mass of Noises, the numbers are quite high but...
Eiji (OOO-Tatoba): "This shouldn't take long." Said as he take out the Medaljalibur and once again dash forward the gathering Noises, he swing his sword multiple times with each swing release one energy slash that take down dozen of Noises. Tsubasa narrow her eyes as she saw this but then she brought her attention back to Hibiki.
Tsubasa: "Careful you could lose your life just stay here and protect the little girl." After saying that she run straight to the Noise while sing the song that activate her Symphogear. "Imyuteus Ame no Habakiri Tron." The orb made of clear looking through energy surround her then shrink until it wrap around her body when disappeared it reveal Tsubasa in her Symphogear with her sword in her hand.
Playing Zetto-Ame no Habakiri.
Tsubasa: "CERCULAN FLASH." As she rush toward the Noise her sword become bigger she then slash it toward the Noise a slash made of blue energy rush toward the Noise blow up some of it upon contact. She then jump high up " THOUSAND TEAR." Hundred sword made of blue energy then shot down toward the Noise and kill more of them. She then rush toward and slash the rest of the Noise with her sword now back to regular size and destroy all of them.
As both her and OOO from two sides quickly clean up the Noises only one of it is left, it also quite big easily standing at a building height seeing this OOO turn to Tsubasa and call out to her.
Eiji (OOO-Tatoba): "We should take this one down together."
Tsubasa didn't really expect to hear this from OOO but nonetheless she still look at him before back at the giant Noises she then throw her sword high up to the sky she then jump up along with it, the sword instantly become that of a size of a truck she then kick at the hilt and push the sword flying straight at the Noises.
Tsubasa (Ame no Habakiri): "HEAVEN'S WRATH." Call out her attack as she descend down on the Noises while OOO also once again swipe his Scanner across his Driver.
OOO Driver: "SCANNING CHARGE!" As it call out OOO leg shifted much to Hibiki and the little girl surprise.
Hibiki (Gungnir): "I...It's like a human sized grasshopper's leg!" Call out in surprise as she point at it while OOO then jump high to the sky as the same time three ring of energy red, yellow and green line up between him and the Noises.
Eiji (OOO-Tatoba): "Seiyahhhhh!" Shout out as he aim his kick through the ring as red wing of energy appear on his back while the energy engulf his leg as he execute his Tatoba Kick straight at the Noises.
Both the Tatoba Kick and Heaven's Wrath hit the Noise at the same time create a big explosions with the symbol of OOO appear for a moment before disappear as both OOO and Tsubasa land back to the ground.
End song.
As both OOO and Tsubasa look at each other silently, Hibiki in the back also look at the both of them. This mark the first official meeting between the Multi-King and the Songstresses.
Afterward when the 2nd Division people had arrive and sealed the area that was attacked by the Noise. Right now they are cleaning up the mess cause by the Noise. OOO this time actually remained behind as he also want to make sure Hibiki is okay, seeing she is wearing the same kind of armor as that girl called Kanade Amou, which right now is being offered a cup of tea by one of the computer staff whose name is Tomosato Aoi she is a young women about 20 or more with short dark blue hair, but OOO also notice how she still keep a look out eye at him too.
The girl had been safely return to her mother who was told to have to keep this incident a secret "Thank you and goodbye big bro, big sis!" Called out the little girl as she left with her mom. The armor of Hibiki also disappear now much to her shock.
Hibiki: "Woah~~woah!" Call out as she almost fall down if not for OOO catch her at the last moment.
Eiji (OOO Tatoba): "Daijobu Hibiki-chan?" ask with concern as he walk to her side and offer her his hand to help her get up.
Hibiki: "Yeah I'm okay thank you very much for saving me. Now and at that time."
Eiji (OOO Tatoba): "So you really remember what happen huh? Well you are welcome anyway Hibiki-chan." Said as he put a hand on her head and rub it softly which made Hibiki blush a little.
Hibiki: "Any…anyway I guess I should return now as Miku is worry about me." Said almost too quickly as she turn away from OOO and about to leave. Just then she notice a lot of men in black suit and wear sun glass which is typical image of govt. agent surround her and OOO. "Eh?" Was all she could said at the sight of this.
Eiji (OOO-Tatoba): "(Sigh) one thing I learn in my time of fighting is that people, especially powerful people don't let you go easy when they found out you had power." OOO said as he saw this, at the same time he remember about a certain man he known with a weird obsession with cake and desire.
Tsubasa: "You can't leave just yet under the order of 2nd Division you are hereby ordered to follow us back to headquarter. The same goes for you OOO we have a lot of questions we need to ask you." Said sternly as she stand in the middle of the group of agents
Just when OOO thinking how he should approach this situation he saw an agent with brown hair come toward them but his attention is more on Hibiki as he has a cuff on his hand.
"Sorry but it is procedure also you will need to be cuffed too." Said the agent his name is Ogawa Shinji. But before he could put the cuff on her a hand covered in yellow armor hold him back which startled him a bit, the other agents also seem to ready reach for something which everyone could already guess, even Hibiki so that's why she look at OOO in worry despite somewhat known that gun couldn't do much against him. But OOO just ignore this as he address Shinji, quite polite too, the agent noticed.
Eiji (OOO-Tatoba): "Don't you think that's a bit rough for a little girl? It's not like she could do any harm with so many people."
Ogawa: "But…" Before he could said anything OOO raised his hand up to stop him.
Eiji (OOO-Tatoba): "I will also go with you guys but the condition is Hibiki-chan have to stay by my side and there would be no cuffing." As he said in a tone that there is no argument as Hibiki is quite surprised as this is the first time she saw Eiji use a voice like that which is nothing like the easy going attitude that he usually show. But she was also quite happy because there is someone who support her she feel like she could trust him in this situation where she is not sure what happening.
Tsubasa: "It alright Ogawa-san let them be, if he agree to come peacefully with us then is okay to skip some minor procedure." Said after a few second of quiet, in her eyes this also a good situation too since in someway this thief could become a good leverage for them to use against OOO...wait...that thought just now...even against them how could she...no it doesn't matter...not when it compare to Kanade.
As the group agree OOO ride on his Ride Vendor to follow while Hibiki is on one of the car with Tsubasa next to her and head to where the 2nd Division Headquarter is. Meanwhile OOO can already see how Ankh would berate him for letting his heart think for his brain again.
Back at the Sunflower at Eiji's room.
Ankh: "ACHOO! What the hell?" Asked in bewilderment as even he can't comprehend how a hand can sneeze if it is a Greeed things then this is his first time hearing it.
Meanwhile at a cliff side where it seem no one live there, a lone mansion stand here as that moment Poseidon using human form of his last host step in the mansion.
Poseidon: "It seem the host leave the place again eh?" Asked seemingly to no one but soon enough someone replied him.
"Fine is busy with her plan. What about you? Where have you been?" A voice of a young girl can be heard, but one could heard an edge in it.
Poseidon: "Just out to get some fresh air Ojou-chan." Said with a chuckle. "As the same time...to see how the one who hold my desire have been."
"(Tch) As always I feel creep out hearing you talk."
Poseidon: "I could said the same for your host...but then with your desire of love for her you wouldn't see it."
"Why you!?" Growled the girl but Poseidon turn around to leave.
Poseidon: "Excuse me but I need to rest...not really but it better to be here and incur your wrath right?" With that he go to his room, as he close the door he muttered with amusement. "If you could only see OOO...no Hino Eiji, a perfect example of someone no doubt you can't leave alone...but for me this is quite entertaining. Put a show worth of my time...Fine." Said as he close his eyes as he can feel the grow of one of his recent spawned surprise, he can't wait to see Hino Eiji's expression when he saw it, yeah...the future will prove quite interesting indeed.
