-In the base of the Red Nova, the sight of Logan was seen on his bed as Kirika and Shirabe were sitting beside the bed as the two were asleep and were leaning on each other shoulders. Logan woke up and saw the time as it was noon, he looked at the two girls and smiled but his smiled slowly disappeared-

Logan: Status report.

Aura: We had to evacuate from the outpost that was in the Colony.

Logan: Casualties?

Aura: Zero.

Logan: How many men did we lose from the invasion in Shanghai?

Aura: One hundred and twenty three were killed, fifty two are injured.

Logan: Where is Yukine Chris and Amou Kanade right now?

Aura: They are waiting at the airport as we speak.

Logan: Any messages from their higher ups?

Aura: Yes. "You are given 24 hours to return Tsukuyomi Shirabe to us, if you do not return her to us and if she is harmed, we will wage war against you and your people.", said by both Akatsuki Kinji and Kazanari Genjuuro.

Logan: All of this just for one girl...It's like they're locking her up in a cage, impudent fools, this is why the Japanese military will never advance because of their narrow-minded brains of theirs.

Aura: What are your orders?

Logan: Alert Status 666, Operation: Thunder Break.

Aura: B-Boss, are you sure? This could mean breaking your relationship with them. -She said as she looked at Kirika and Shirabe-

Logan: -He sighed softly and looked at the girls with a sad look as he would then turn to Aura- I love them very much but my people and my organisation is much more important than anything else on this pitiful world, the only way for me to reach to Nastassja is to make sure no one else gets in my way and if S.O.N.G wants to get in my way then so be it, it will be war then.

Aura: As you command, Boss.

Logan: Oh, and one more thing, Aura.

Aura: Yes?

Logan: Prepare the Spore for me.

Aura: Y-Yes Boss, as you say. -She said as she bowed and left the room quickly as Logan got out of his bed and cracked his knuckles as he went to change his clothes in his bathroom and took out a bottle that was filled with translucent pills that had many different colours as he fed his tails with the pills, causing Logan's eyes to glow slightly. He then walked out of the bathroom and saw that the girls were still asleep, he went to the elevator that was in his room and would take the elevator down and left the two be. Down underneath the base of the Red Nova, Logan was gathering his men as thousands of them would prepare their armour and weapons along with their gear armour-

-Within the city of Shanghai, thousands of men and women with black suits and gear armour were seen walking down the streets as they were heading to the docks of the city, giant steel silver balls with spikes on them were seen rolling down the streets as there were gunships and armoured choppers flying down past the city buildings. Submarines were seen coming out of the large sewage pipes as there was a few battleships and aircraft carriers as well as Logan was in one of the battleships and were all heading towards Japan. Back in Japan, in Hibiki's apartment, the sight of Soran and Hibiki were seen together as Soran was napping under the kotatsu while Hibiki was sitting next to him as she was watching a Bruce Lee movie. She smiled softly and rubbed Soran's head lightly, it was then someone knocked on the door and spammed the doorbell as Hibiki got up and went to the door-

Hibiki: Yes, yes! Stop doing that! It's annoying! -She said as she opened the door and saw Maria- Maria? What's wrong?

Maria: W-We need your help! Now!

Hibiki: Eh? B-But Soran is..

Maria: Never mind Soran! This is important! Let's go! -She grabbed Hibiki's hand and ran as she would then shut the door while Soran was left at the apartment as he was asleep. Maria dragged Hibiki out of the apartment complex as Maria pointed up at the sky- Look!

Hibiki: What the... -She said as she saw multiple colours of light up in the dark clouds as there was thunder and flashing colours of lightning- What is that?

Maria: Kinji-kun said that it could be a form of phenomenon that happens every after hundreds or thousands of years.

Hibiki: So? What's so important about that?

Maria: It's more important than you think! It's a rare sight!

Hibiki: Maria, I have no time and I am not interest in these fantasies or phenomenons, Soran is upstairs and I gotta watch him.

Maria: Really?! You're just going to leave for a young boy?

Hibiki: He's more than just a young boy! He's a... -She blushed and remembered the things Soran did for her and how kind he was to get Hibiki a new home along with many other things- My hero...

Maria: Huh?

Hibiki: Anyway, I'm leaving. -She said and turned but the entire city would then shake strongly, causing the two girls to lose balance and fall- Agh! What was that?!

Maria: Earthquake?!

-The alert siren rang throughout the entire city as the sounds of screaming was heard-

"Please evacuate the city! I repeat, we are having a mass evacuation! Please stick together with your family members and follow the laws! You must evacuate with proper order!" -The man on the speaker said loudly as he announced to the entire city-

Maria: What's going on?!

Hibiki: Go! I'll go and get Soran!

Maria: Right! -She said as she activated her Symphogear and sang the activation song and sang the song "Ressō Gungnir"-

"Granzizel bilfen Gungnir zizzl"

"(Kort el fes Gungnir)

(Kort el fes Gungnir)

The flame of faith that resides in my heart

Is one that nobody can extinguish, an eternal blaze

Even if my body were to be burnt to ash

For the sake of the path I believe in, I would gladly go to heaven

Will the dark of the night be lit by my song?

Power wells from the serenade of holy light

I will never yield, my dream will roar out aloud

For the sake of justice, I will pierce through evil

I have no need for tears, for my strike is unparalleled

I have steeled my resolve, I swear upon my pride

For whose sake is my voice echoing far and wide?

And for whose sake does my song exist?

I've decided I won't lose anything more...

The miracle of my repeating emotions will scatter fate

The lives that deliver beating strikes, fight upon their backs

The cadenza, as it is, is a bundle of their love

I will never lose, the fight that I fight

O world, sing, sing of tomorrow

The future you know will not change, even after one thousand years

To the brilliant sky of the dawn, I wish you all the best

At last, I've realized,

At last, I understand

I will sing the proof of my life, and offer my body and soul

I will never yield, my dream will roar out aloud

For the sake of justice, I will pierce through evil

I will be remembered as a legend, from now to the end of time

With my resolve and my smile, I will follow my heart

I swear upon my pride"

-Maria went deeper into the city as Hibiki ran up to her apartment quickly and once she reached her apartment, she saw that Soran was still sleeping soundly, she ran towards him and would try to wake him up-

Hibiki: Soran! Soran! I'm sorry but please wake up! The city has just initiated a mass evacuation, we gotta go!

Soran: Oof...Ugh...Hibiki? -He opened his eyes slowly and lightly as he looked at her and smiled- Hi..

Hibiki: H-Hi- No! I mean, let's go!

Soran: Eh? Where..?

Hibiki: Out! -She said as she carried Soran on her back and ran out of the apartment quickly as Soran slept on her back, as soon as Hibiki got out of her apartment complex, she saw a large number of people running away quickly as they were evacuating, she turned her head to the right and looked up into the sky as she saw planes with the insignia of a viper on their wings as they flew above the city- Jets? Why would the military be sending in their planes?

-The sound of thousands of people were heard as they were yelling something in a foreign language as Hibiki looked at the clouds with all of the lights and saw the large number of gear users flying down and were attacking the city-

"对于红色新星!"(Translation: For the Red Nova!) -They shouted as many of them were destroying buildings and vehicles and were killing civilians and policemen that were fighting back. Hibiki turned her head as her eyes widened as she saw the sight of a male gear user in red and black armour aiming his gun at Hibiki as he was flying in the air, he fired a shot at Hibiki as the girl froze and was unable to do anything-

-Back in Shanghai airport, both Kanade and Chris were waiting in the giant Wyvern transport-

Chris: What the Hell is taking that jackass so long?!

Kanade: Tell me about it, he's starting to really piss me off.

Chris: Tsk! Kinji! Give us a feedback! What should we do? -She asked as she pressed on a communication button on one of the monitors but she could only hear static- Huh?

Kanade: What's wrong?

Chris: I can't get through to Kinji..

Kanade: Bad reception?

Chris: I doubt it, my line on my phone works fine.

Kanade: Then I doubt it's communication jamming, it must be something back at the base.

Bot: -The bot ran towards the two girls- Miss Chris, Miss Kanade! We have just received word from the base of S.O.N.G, they have been under attack by the Red Nova!

Kanade: What?! But we have been monitoring them! They couldn't have left the city without us noticing!

Bot: It appears that they were using different pathways to leave the city without us noticing.

Chris: Tsk! Wait! What about the two kids?!

Bot: We do not have time, miss! We must return back immediately!

Chris: Ugh... I really hate this...Fine! Let's just go!

-The giant Wyvern would flap its wings as it flew and left the airport as it headed straight for Japan. Back in the base of Red Nova, in Logan's room, the sight of Shirabe shaking Kirika was seen as she was calling out to her-

Shirabe: Kiri-chan! Kiri-chan! Wake up!

Kirika: Ugh...Desu...What's wrong desu?

Shirabe: It's Logan! He's gone!

Kirika: Eh?! H-He's gone?! Call Aura-san desu!

Shirabe: That's the thing! She's not here! She's in Japan!

Kirika: Eh?! Why?!

Shirabe:...She never followed me to begin with..

Kirika: Oh! Good point, call someone else desu?

Shirabe: The whole base is deserted! Nobody is here!

Kirika: Huh?! Where did they all go?!

Shirabe: There... -She said as she pointed at the TV that was muted as it was the News, showing the invasion in Japan with the Red Nova members as Kinji's army was seen fighting the Red Nova and the sight of Maria along with Serena and Miku were seen fighting together in the background-

Kirika: N-No...

Shirabe: -She fell down onto her knees and put her hands on her head as she began to panic- I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do! Kiri-chan! What should I do?!

Kirika: W-Why are you panicking so much desu?!

Shirabe: Logan! It's Logan! He's sensitive and overprotective, if he goes overboard with his fights, he'll eventually hurt himself and when that happens, he'll never be the Logan that we knew!

Kirika: W-What are you saying?

Shirabe: I saw it all, Kiri-chan. I saw it all in my head, my past. The boy who saved me from being kidnapped and murdered, it was Logan when he was in Japan. He was then taken by another person soon after he saved me...

Kirika: Who took him?

Shirabe: Nastassja Sergeyevna Tolstaya... She took us both and put us in a mental asylum to understand our mentality but instead, she experimented on us and drugged us... The pain, Kiri-chan.. I hated it! Getting beaten up, choked till I fainted, yelled at everyday! Watching Logan get beaten up till he couldn't breath, it all hurts!

Kirika: S-Shirabe, calm down desu! We can turn this all around desu! All we need to do is find a way to get back to Japan and bring him back to us and he'll be normal again desu!

Shirabe: R-Right...Yeah...

"I can bring you both there. Under one condition." -The sound of a girl was heard as Kirika and Shirabe turned their heads to the sight of a blonde haired little girl with diamond-coloured eyes as she had a witch hat on her head-

Shirabe: W-Who are you?

Girl: Carol. Carol Malus Dienheim.

Kirika: I-I know that name. Y-You...

Shirabe: You were Jin-san's subordinate..

Carol: Indeed.

Kirika: W-What is your condition?

Carol: Let me speak to this man that you two love, he has quite a few things that I need.

-Both Shirabe and Kirika would blush madly as they looked at each other and then looked away-

Shirabe: B-But how are you going to get us there?

Carol: Alchemy has its way of doing many things in life. -She said as a magic circle appeared in front of her- Now, shall we?

Kirika: L-Let's go desu..

Shirabe: Right..

-Back in Japan, Hibiki was holding onto Soran tightly in her arms as she tried to defend him and Soran was wide awake as he had his face planted on Hibiki's chest, both of the two would look and saw that a giant sword had defended the two from the attack as they looked up and saw the sight of Kazanari Tsubasa-

Tsubasa: Tachibana, Tatebayashi-kun, are you two alright?!

Soran: N-Not at all..

Hibiki: Thanks for the save, what's going on?

Tsubasa: The Red Nova have dispatched an invasion onto Japan after the Commander and Akatsuki-kun had upset Logan Shen Lee.

Hibiki: What did those two say to him?!

Tsubasa: "Return Tsukuyomi Shirabe and we will let you go.". Is what they said..

Hibiki: Idiots..

Soran: Watch out! -Tsubasa drew out a sword and cut a missile pod that was fired towards her as the split pod would explode behind her-

Tsubasa: Hmph! I would suggest you two help everyone else and help speed up the evacuation.

Hibiki: Right, let's go.

Soran: Aye!

-Tsubasa would sing the song "Shippū Jinrai" as she jumped towards the gear user with her blade out and attack the man but he would dodge her attack by flying around as he would spam out firing barrages of missiles and laser beams at Tsubasa-

"すっと目を閉じて 呼吸を深く落とし込む

一刹那より 更に高みの

「縮地」の域へ

だがどこまでも 鏡の中の己より

一歩は遅く 悟りは遠く

「我」に囚われる日々

ふと空を見る 光が地を創っている

独りではない 足りないものは

ほんの一つもないことを知った

「…見えた気がする」

何時-いつ-になく心は晴れやかに 風を感じる

どんなものにも「命」の 不離一体が在ると

目には目を刃には刃を構えた 己の弱さ

「速さの向こう側」を信じ

疾風迅雷 友と往かん

落葉を斬り 且つには綿毛も斬るような

剣(つるぎ)の道も 天にゆくほど

険しき山と知る

どの世界でも 極めることは甘くない

然れど道なら すべては同じ

何処かに着くと 火燈に闇照らす

夢を灯して

絆は人だけのものじゃなく 万物に在る

共に時を交わす度 真の強さ帯びて

守り守られる愛を以って 初めて超える

「道なき道」さえも何にも

一蓮托生 友と飛ばん

言葉を持たず この手で握るだけでいい

長き寄り添う 盟友のように

語らずともに 全部わかり合える

「…さあ共に明日(あす)へ」

何時-いつ-になく心は晴れやかに 風を感じる

どんなものにも「命」の 不離一体が在ると

目には目を刃には刃を構えた 己の弱さ

「速さの向こう側」を信じ

疾風迅雷 友と往かん"

-A massive explosion occurred within the city as Tsubasa turned her attention to the source from what had caused the explosion, she saw a large battleship in the ocean with an aircraft carrier beside it as the two ships were heading straight towards the city-

Tsubasa: Wh-?! What are they doing?!

-The massive ships would hit the docks as their sides would open up as spider-like legs would come out and the boats would start walking around the ground while destroying the buildings around them, the carrier had artillery cannons on its side as it was firing from long range while releasing fighter drones from the hangar that was inside the transport-

Tsubasa: Amphibious navy?!

Man: The Red Nova are more tougher than you think! -The man said as he aimed his cannon at Tsubasa and fired but she retaliated quickly and dodged the attack-

Tsubasa: Perhaps I may have looked down on your technology but Akatsuki-kun is more well versed in his weapons than you would think! -She said as the sight of a Goliath and a large number of Scorpio and Titan class bots were seen fighting in the city-

Man: You may have the numbers but numbers cannot fight against sheer power. -The sound of a loud thunderous horn was then heard as thunder roared loudly in the sky, Tsubasa turned back as her eyes widened at the sight of a giant 80 meter height metal pod dropping down from the sky as it landed right on top of Tokyo tower-

Tsubasa: W-What is that?

Man: One of Red Nova's greatest creations! The Ravager Tripod! -The pod would transform as four large spider-like limbs would come out from the pod as the top of the pod would rise up and reveal a bright red lens as it scanned the entire city, a missile would then hit the tripod as it turned its head and looked down to see a large number of the Golden bots firing their guns at the tripod. Six tentacle-mechanical limbs would pop out from the sides of the tripod as the tentacles would begin firing beams of light at the bots, slowly destroying them at ease, a Goliath ran towards the tripod but the giant tripod would use its tentacles and grab the Goliath's arms and legs, thus immobilising from battle-

Tsubasa: Such monstrosity..

Man: You may think that! But it is more powerful than you think- Agh! -The man was then attacked by a giant golden hawk as Kinji was in his Sonicgear armour and would fly next to Tsubasa-

Kinji: Did I miss anything?

Tsubasa: You...You started this!

Kinji: Well hey! I wanted to get Shirabe-chan back! You can't blame me for everything!

Tsubasa: Ugh! Whatever! I'm heading down there! Evacuate the civilians and make sure nothing bad happens!

Kinji: Gotcha~

-Tsubasa would jump down to the ground and ran to the city but she then stopped as she heard the sound of a child screaming, she turned her attention to the side and heard the child screaming inside as she ran inside, when she ran inside, her eyes widened in shock as she had stopped running and saw the sight of blood and organs everywhere in front of her, she then looked up ahead and saw a little boy running away with blood all over his body as he ran past Tsubasa as fast as he can-

Tsubasa: W-Wait! Where are your parents! Hey! -Before she could pursue the boy, she heard the sound of a mechanical screech as she turned and looked up ahead in the darkness and saw the sight of a large green and white praying mantis- Aura...

Aura: Kazanari..

Tsubasa: You did this? All of this?! Why?!

Aura: To make sure you and your people will not get in the way of the Boss' plans!

Tsubasa: What plans?

Aura: You will soon find out. -The praying Mantis said in a mechanical voice of Aura as it would back away into the darkness-

Tsubasa: I don't understand, I thought he just wants to help Tsukuyomi but he has other plans..? -She asked herself as she then felt a powerful explosion outside as she quickly ran outside and saw the sight of a giant floating fortress above the city as it was being attacked by Kinji's army along with the Red Nova but there were a large number of mannequin-like dolls with many colours coming out of the fortress and would attack the opposing forces- W-What is going on?!

"Senpai!" -The sound of a familiar voice was then heard as Tsubasa saw the sight of the giant Wyvern flying over Tsubasa's head as Kanade and Chris jumped out of the wyvern while it charged right in to attack its enemies-

Chris: The hell is going on?!

Kanade: We were in China a minute ago and they got here in just a few minutes?

Tsubasa: I don't know either, but perhaps we may have underestimated the Red Nova. They seem technologically more advanced than Akatsuki-kun's army.

Kanade: Yeah right! You should know that Kinji's army is the most advanced military on Earth!

Tsubasa: But even so, Akatsuki-kun was unable to replicate gears and use them on his bots! If he could, his machines would be even more powerful right now!

Kanade: We were trashing them just awhile ago, how the hell are they beating Kinji's army then?

Chris: That was because we weren't fighting against a whole army of Gear users..

Kanade: What?

Chris: When we attacked, we were just fighting dude with normal guns, nothing else! There were only a few gear users that fought back but that was the reason why we won!

Kanade: Then you're saying that we never stood a chance?!

Chris: I'm saying that we didn't calculate the amount of soldiers that damn jackass would have! We didn't know anything about the Red Nova!

Tsubasa: Enough! We must not argue! We need to help the others! -Chris and Kanade nodded as the three would head towards the flying fortress and inside the fortress, Carol, Shirabe and Kirika were inside as they were waiting-

Kirika: W-Why are we waiting?

Carol: We're waiting for him..

Shirabe: Who?

Carol: Logan..

-In the giant aircraft carrier that was walking around through the city, destroying building by building, Logan was commanding his troops from the inside as his eyes glowed in anger-
