Chapter 12:- Soul-2-Cry
Opening:- 伝説のFLARE - Pile
-A week had passed as it was a Friday morning, the members of Soul Cry were in a large concert hall in Akihabara as they were preparing themselves along with getting ready for the night concert but Shinji, Sei, Sento were not present at the concert hall as they were busy with other things in Tokyo while Maki, Jun, Ren, Alisa and Nico were helping the staff members and were practising their songs as well-
Nico: I can't believe this is only the band's 3rd concert.
Ren: Believe or not, our 2nd concert managed to get over a million people to come and see us.
Nico: What? No way!
Ren: Hell yeah!
Maki: You should be really happy that your boyfriend is in a really popular band.
Nico: Yes~! I'm supremely happy that my boyfriend is in a really popular band~
Ren: You make it sound like you don't mean it.
Nico: Of course. I didn't mean it! In fact I'm jealous of the fact that you're more popular than I was when I was part of µ's!
Ren: I'm sorry..
Nico: N-No! Don't give me that!
Maki: Oh no~ You just made Ren-kun sad~
Nico: I-I did not! Look! I-I'm sorry! Okay? Sheesh... -She'd walked up to the tall drummer who was sitting behind his drum set and hugged him as she petted his head lightly- I-I...I love you...Okay?
Ren: -He'd blush slightly as he smiled and hugged her back- Took you awhile to give me a hug after so long..
Nico: Wha-?! Oh! You sly!
Ren: Aha! I got ya!
Maki: Smart move.
Ren: Nico-chan's gullible after all~
Maki: Very.
-Nico pouted as she crossed her arms and looked away from Ren as the man would chuckle lightly and poke Nico's nose lightly as he gave her a bottle of her favourite soda, the short girl would look at the soda and took it as she drank it and blushed slightly-
Maki: You two are just perfect for each other.
Ren: Really? Thank you.
Nico: W-Why are you thanking her?!
Ren: Isn't it rude to not thank her?
Nico: You're just a muscle head!
Ren: I may be a muscle head but that does not mean I'm rude!
Maki: He has a point.
Nico: Damn it!
Jun: Get ready before 6, okay? -The other three nodded-
Nico: How many will be coming to this concert anyway?
Jun: They've just counted how many tickets they sold. Over 1.2 million people will be watching the concert right here while another 2 million will be watching the live stream.
Nico: Holy shi-
Ren: Wow! I think we just broke the record.
Maki: The band represents anime songs and generations of music for entertainment purposes after all. We practically do the songs for every thing in this country.
Ren: Ah good point.
Jun: Just like we planned, Sei will sing two songs first to keep the synergy going for the crowd and viewers and then Alisa will make her appearance to sing something to change the hype of everyone and then Maki-san will sing a few songs and then I will announce to the crowd our new band name and then we'll all sing a few songs that are stated in the list, okay?
Ren:...What?
Nico: Oh, sounds simple enough. Wait..Huh?
Maki: It's exactly as it sounds.
Nico: Gibberish?
Jun: I'll repeat myself later, I have to handle the planning with the director and everyone else here, Maki-san if you can, please brief them.
Maki: Sure thing.
-Hours later as time passed as it was almost 6 in the evening and the other three members had not appeared yet as they were stuck in traffic while the members of Aqours were at the back of the stage and were about to watch the band sing and was wondering why the concert had not started, the crew members along with everyone else were panicking due to the lateness of Shinji, Sei and Sento-
Director: W-What should we do?! The crowd is panicking!
Nico: Doesn't seem like it, you're panicking, they're just confused.
Chika: W-What are you guys gonna do if Shinji-kun and the others aren't here yet?
Jun: I need someone who can play the bass, electric guitar and a violin.
Riko: I can play the violin.
Maki: I can play the violin and guitar.
Alisa: I-I can play the bass.
Jun: Riko-chan, I had shown you the script of songs that will be playing accordingly, yes?
Riko: Y-Yeah! Why?
Jun: We're gonna follow that list, you know the songs?
Riko: All of them.
Jun: Good. Let's go.
Riko: Eh?! N-Now?
Jun: Yes, we'll start it out with Alisa-san singing instead and then we'll head to Maki-san.
-The girls did as they were told as Ren, Jun, Nico, Maki, Alisa and Riko walked out of the back of the stage and grabbed their instruments and prepared to play, some of the people in the crowd were cheering and some were yelling, asking where were the actual members who were the girls. Alisa then grabbed the bass and started to play and sing the song "Yuki, Muon, Madobe nite" that she had practised-
"I, who landed
In a soundless world, was snow
Something will break, something will be born
Those repeat, even for futile things
The unstopping people, the strange people
Included me who gaze at them
Unsolvable problems and such, even if I knew
That they didn't exist, complicated stages would still create stories
If I possess just one wish, too
Then I'll turn things from the start in my memories into a book and read it by the windowsill
Red marks appear on the pages and begin to dance
I'm apt to think that I seem to be attracted by them
But if I whisper the forbidden word, then it's the finale…
I'll escape to somewhere, I can't escape to anywhere
Just with that, it's a consciousness with value
The undiscouraged people, the kind people
My future was moved
I've noticed that the powerful strength that flows out shouts for happiness
If the required story is noted down as it is
I feel like wanting to try having a dream that makes my existence change
If it's connected to my feelings, to my sympathies, then I'll stand by the windowsill
While embraced by tranquility, I'm waiting again today
Slowly falling- not water, but a lonelier grain
In a colorless world
You, who I found, are star
I feel like wanting to try having a dream that makes my existence change
If it's connected to my feelings, to my sympathies, then I'll stand by the windowsill
While embraced by tranquility, I'm waiting again today
Slowly falling- not water, but a lonelier grain
I, who landed
In a soundless world, was snow"
-After hearing Alisa sing, the crowd cheered loudly and happily as everyone else at the back of the stage was surprised to see what was happening. Some of the people within the crowd noticed that Maki, Nico and Riko were idols that had participated the Love Live event in the past and were amazed to see them sing and play instruments for Soul Cry, after Alisa sang her song, she waved to everyone as all of the guys cheered loudly for her as she walked to Maki and switched instruments with her as Maki stepped up to the front as she took a deep breath and smiled at everyone. While Shinji and the other two were still stuck in traffic under the heavy rain, the three were worried about the concert and had messaged the director as the man replied back to Shinji, saying that the concert is being well controlled by the girls including Riko, thus surprising Shinji greatly. In the concert as the instruments started to play, Maki start to sing the song "伝説のFLARE" to the crowd-
"The stars have begun to speak…
Should we ever meet the moon
You should hear my heartbeat before the world comes to an end
Light shines through the endless sky
And lights up the darkness inside my fumbling heart
We'll be shooting stars Become a blue star
And change it once more into the hope we call "tomorrow"
One day our history will be civilization
So lead us through all the billions of moments
Until we're one
I can't mark the passage of time unless we go forward together
The development I'm aiming for with you is world harmony
We take all of our energy, turn it into strength
And go from ZERO to ∞ I dreamed of eternity
The night sky we call a "myth" becomes an immortal knight
Reflecting the heavens above we call a "miracle" once more
One day I'll send you a FLARE
So keep believing through all the billions of moments
Until we're one
We take all of our energy, turn it into strength
And go from ZERO to ∞ I dreamed of eternity
We'll be shooting stars– be a blue star
And change it once more into the hope we call "tomorrow"
One day our history will be civilization
When we become after billions of moments
Be a legend."
-After singing, Maki took multiple deep breaths and continued to sing the next song as the other members continued to play their role as Maki sang the song "Climber's High"-
"The place I believed I could reach was high and far
Promises lost reality Masaru's yours
A shadow that goes out of a human wave Walking pace matching a pleasant heartbeat
But ... I was watching it irrelevant
Have to repeat Listen to the tired days
Even if I update it so as not to miss it
Irritability not melting down approaches
If the center of the box wears off and it gets scratched off
Just breaking the square sky at the prepared burnout
Let's run up in a hot wind in the mind and go up.
Tear off chain and release unfinished
Until the end comes, Climber's High
Delivering a dream of steel that no one can break Even the end of the world
A light shining in the eyes pierces the darkness
Open your eyes Following rippling urge
I'm surely able to jump higher if I want more strongly
To that place that I have been sought all the time
On the days of regret being replayed
Even if you resist against being swept away
The mind in memory that invades not return
If you forget to lose
Just run running out of getting down pain
Let's just flutter with a hot wind and let it go
With incomplete wings to aim for the sky that does not reach
I believe I can fly to the sky if I try to reach my Climber's High
Sotetsuna's dreams that I can only see The end of the world
Seasons changing And memories fading
Time is waiting For my heart to move on
I look to the light wings wide open
The wind will take me to my place in the sky
Beat that reaches the limit Limited fear of blowing away
Accelerate the distance that seems eternally and cut the wind
The scenery that seemed beyond despair was infinite
Only the sky blueness which does not end with the spreading white world
Let's run up in a hot wind in the mind and go up.
Tear off chain and release unfinished
Until the end comes, Climber's High
Delivering a dream of steel that no one can break Even the end of the world!"
-The next song Maki sang was "For You"-
"前も向けないくらい
一人で抱えこんで
足取りだって重いんだ
それでもさ going my way
まだ終わってないって
なんちゃって
こんなもんじゃ
もうどうしたいんだ？
不確かな答え探してる
自分も騙せずに
強がりだけをまとって
無理して笑っていた
明日は来ないかも知れない
僕だって居ないかも知れない
さぁ
今
もう
さらけ出して言っちゃえば良い
この胸の深層書き出して
singing singing…
そう
想いを伝えよう
焦らないで 急がしてる
そう 立ち止まって 走ってる
もう全部肯定して行こう
キミと未来を描くために
知らない振りしてさ
自分なんて諦めて
おどけて見せるけど
それでもさ waiting for you
I just believe…
過ぎ去りし日の記憶に
もう迷いはしないよ
「今」っていう答え探してる
言葉に埋もれる度
空回りしていたんだ
心の奥だけ
自分に正直になれて
そんなんじゃダメだとしょげて
また
restart
自分でも気付いてる…
限界かもって気付いてる…
それでも広がっていく…
キミへと広がっていく…
もう このまま泣いちゃえば良い
キミへの感情を吐き出して
singing singing…
もう 迷いは無いよ
無理しないで 堪えてる
そう
振り向かずに 悔やんでる
そんな僕なんて捨てよう
もう
さらけ出して言っちゃえば良い
この胸の深層書き出して
singing singing…
そう
想いを伝えよう
焦らないで 急かしてる
そう
立ち止まって 走ってる
もう全部肯定して行こう
キミに想いが届くように"
-The last song that Maki sang was "いつかキミに届ける世界", as Maki was singing without stopping, Jun was amazed at the sight of a former idol singing her guts out to keep the audience happy and entertained-
"いつかキミに届ける世界
作詞：安田尊行

The Song for You...
Just Sing for You..."
-After Maki had sung, Shinji, Sei and Sento arrived just in time and ran up to the stage from the back of the stage as Shinji grabbed Maki as she was about to faint from over exerting herself-
Shinji: Y-You all right?
Maki: You're late...Dummy..
Shinji: Sorry, but I'm here.
Maki: Took you long enough..Hmph..!
Sei: Hey! It's ma turn to take this show y'all! -Riko walked back to the back of the stage while supporting Maki as Sento took over as being the keyboardist while Shinji grabbed the bass that Maki had and took her place as the bassist while Sei got up to the front and prepared to sing while Alisa went to the back as well as she was not needed anymore. The guys of Soul Cry then started to play the song "Redo" as Sei started to sing as the crowd started to scream and cheer loudly-
"Lost my way
All I need's a saving grace to free me
Being confined, is it all in my mind
I can't escape my past at all
Never feeling in control
Help me
My vision's hazy, I'm about to go crazy
Where do I go from here
Holding on to what I can
Precious memories are all that I have
I play them over and over so I remember
You and I living happily ever after
Shout out: 'I'll never forget you'
Pray my heart will stay true
Time to let it all rewind again
Make a wish upon the night
I need another chance to do this right
Fight for the me that believes I'll make it better
Promises we made that day
Will be the shining light that's gonna guide the way
Swear on my last breath I won't bend until the end
Though I may cry the tears only make me stronger
I'm braving the pain cause it'll be worth the wait
For our future"
-The next song that Sei sang was "Black Rock Shooter". As the group was back to their usual routine, Jun was relieved to see everything was back to normal and was quite pleased to see that Sei had so much energy without breaking a sweat-
"These nights are endless; all I want to do is scream and shout
I've reached my limit, now I'm begging you to help me out
Don't know how long I can keep this up; always on the run
Waiting, praying for my chance to finally see the sun
Sinking deep into a dark reality
Nowhere to escape; fighting desperately
Suddenly a light shines right before my very eyes
I realize
You were always by my side
There you are
Black Rock Shooter
I swear I'll never forget
The fun we had; the good, the bad
My one and only friend
Black Rock Shooter
Come free me from my dread
I wish upon the stars for sadness to end
And finally I will fly through the sky once again!"
-After Sei sang, he continued it off with the song "This Game". As he started singing, Chika was watching him as she stared at him as he was singing and was amazed of him as she wished that she could sing like him as he looked so free and happy as he sang the song without fear and worry-
"Never going back again to the time when I was lost
What a fool I was
Blindly living in a lie
It always felt so wrong, but now I know what's right
Somehow the heavens above me
Knew I was destined for glory
Gave me a world I could call mine
It's my game, it's my life
I'll say goodbye to the old days
It's my way or the highway
The world will soon know my name
'Cause I'm making history today
There's only victory
And the future's as bright as it can be
Our time is now
Let's turn things back around
Join hand in hand as our dreams go according to plan
Fly into the fight, let's give 'em hell
Lead with a rebel yell
Come stand with me
Though odds may turn
Together we can make it one step closer
Win, time to begin
Taking it all, we'll make the titans fall
The spoils of war are yours to celebrate if you just believe
Yes, all is possible through faith
That's all we need!"
-The last song that Sei would sing with Shinji was "Before My Body is Dry"-
"In the dusty corners of my mind
I was surprised to see somebody waiting there
I've gotta find the truth and face this fight
Alone no longer
The only one who can save me now is by my side
Get ready to fight
Now be prepared
They're tryin' to break your heart
But souls who unite
Can't be torn apart
Don't lose your way in the night
We've got to fight as one
Don't be afraid of the light
You've got to stand up and be strong
All of your secret pain
Makes you braver
We're gonna end the game
And make it right
Seems there's no other choice but to go all out
I'm your wings that hoist you when you fall down
We're a team, we join to beat the whole crowd
Of elites – destroy her, this is our vow
In my thread, you had bled over time
And it's profound as we shred the older dress of a child
And somehow we'll be growing together and thrive
When it's about revenge and survive for now
We know in part as you show your heart
And tear goku stars, but don't go too far
The uniform controls, don't bleed too quickly
I'll assume the role, your energy is shifting
Who's clothes with the flow can be this filthy?
Prove to those who won't believe in this link
I could lose on my own so I really need you with me
I gotta fight, but it hurts so bad
I hear your voice ringin' in my head
I gotta fight, but it hurts so bad
I hear your voice ringin' in my head, oh
My blood is pumping as we fly to the sun
You must trust me - no lie, I was once terrified,
Overcome the plight, but don't run
As I cried when you came upon me in the pile of junk
Now the sky above is the line that confines so,
They try to acquire the fire that your father had designed for us so,
Let's fight as one
Can't see my feet in the dark
Don't wanna be all alone
Can't feel the heat in my heart
But I remember where to go
Don't lose your way in the night
We've got to fight as one
Don't be afraid of the light
You've got to stand up and be strong
All of your secret pain
Makes you braver
We're gonna end the game
And make it right
Oh..."
-After the last song that Sei sung, Maki and Alisa walked to the stage as they were refreshed after a short break as the band stopped singing as Jun stood in the center of everyone and had a microphone on his hand as he announced to the audience and everyone who was watching the concert at home or any where else-
Jun: I am Saitou Jun, leader of Soul Cry and I am here to announce that these girls are the band's new members and that our band name has changed!
Fan: Changed to what?!
Fan 2: I love you, Saitou-kun!
Shinji: Every single time...I have to hear that one sentence whenever we perform a live show.
Sento: It's already a thing to begin with.
Sei: I don't get any love from the fans, this ain't fair!
Fan 3: Sei-kyun~!
Sei: YAY!
Jun: Okay, that's enough. Our new band name is Soul-2-Cry! Instead of a male standalone band, we're a mixed band! -Jun shouted loudly in the mic as the millions of people in the hall cheered and screamed loudly and happily. Everyone got into place as Alisa and Sei stood in the center of the stage as they were about to sing their last song on the night as the two would sing "僕らの戦場" together as the whole audience were singing along to the singers-
"If you've managed to glimpse that blip in the sky...
If you've managed to hear my shaking voice...
Fly up, high enough to be ripped to pieces,
Upon the eternal wings of torn memories!
The things we talked about that day...
The things we could always laugh about together...
Until the day those times can be revived, our only choice is to take a stand!
Break it apart, and feel me more and more!
Are you there, there amid it all?
Ahh, lives blooming upon the battlefield: Burn on! Burn on!
If by killing, we're destined to perish anyway,
Seethe, seethe onward to the ends of destruction!
Awaken a miracle - on our way to that closed off sky!
Amidst innumerable sensations flying about,
You'll risk losing even your truest self.
Under the concentrated fire of unseen doubts,
The only way to victory is having the strength to admit you're weak.
If you hadn't been you...
And I hadn't been me...
We'd have never come to know this feeling!
Cut through, closer and closer to the dark side of justice!
Run on, run on - until you're reduced to ash;
Abandon all reason and let out a roar from your heart!
Sever those ties; if you can eventually be there with me,
In the new galaxy that will be born,
Our brilliance could become unrivaled!
Everyone is trying to survive following the lead of others,
Knowing not the reason for their frustrations.
But rather than living on as if we we're already dead,
We'll let our red blood flow... and bear our fangs -
That's our proof that we're truly alive!
Break it apart, and feel me more and more!
Are you there, there amid it all?
Ahh, lives blooming upon the battlefield: Burn on! Burn on!
If by killing, we're destined to perish anyway,
Seethe, seethe onward to the ends of destruction!
Awaken a miracle - on our way to that closed off sky!"
-At the end of the concert after the band sang their song as everyone cheered happily and everyone left, the members of Soul-2-Cry along with Aqours went back to their own home as the members of Soul-2Cry were exhausted after the concert and wanted to get some rest, as soon as Shinji got home, he lied down on the couch while his sister took a bath, he received a message from Riko, saying that he did a great job in the concert as Shinji replied and thanked Riko as he smiled at his phone and blushed slightly until he looked to the side of the couch and noticed a brown teddy bear with a red bow tie on its neck and remembered that Maki's birthday was getting close. As his sister walked out of the bath with tight black shorts and a sleeveless tank-top as well as a towel around her neck, Shinji was staring at her as Maki would cover her chest and blush-
Maki: W-Where do you think you're looking at?
Shinji: Your face.
Maki: Eh? I-Is there something on my face?
Shinji: No, just wanted to say that you did a great job today and you looked really beautiful at the concert as well. -He said as he got up and went to the bathroom as he was about to take his bath, as he walked passed Maki, she'd look down at her feet as she blushed madly and said nothing but had a little smile on her face as she was extremely happy that she was complimented by her brother-
