Chapter 2:- Invitation
Theme song: METANOIA - Nana Mizuki
Ending Song: Synchrogazer - Nana Mizuki
-The sound of screaming and shouting was heard within the city of Tokyo as many of the civilians gathered around Tokyo Skytree and pointed up at the sky as Kinji's gunships was flying around the building and was surrounding the man in Gear armour-
Bot 1: Please refrain from attacking and you will not be harmed! We wish not to harm you!
-The man looked round him as he stood up and stared at the gunships around him- "Odd machines...Quite primitive." -He closed his eyes for a second and would open them once more and as he had opened his eyes, the gunships around him exploded within a flash and the civilians down below would scream from the sight of the explosions as they ran in fear-
-Tsubasa then landed at the top of Skytree and was behind the man as she pointed her sword at the male. Kanade and Maria would join up with Tsubasa and pointed their weapons at the man as he would slowly turn and look at all three of the girls that had surrounded him-
Tsubasa: Surrender now and you will not be hurt!
Man: Symphogear.. Interesting.
Kanade: What? He knows about our Symphogears!
Tsubasa: He's no ordinary man if he emits radiation from his armour too..
Maria: Then let us end this quickly! -Maria then charged towards the man with great speed and ferocity-
Tsubasa: Maria wait! It's dangerous!
Kanade: Oh no..
-As Maria attacked the man, she pierced her spear right at the man's neck but the tip of the blade did not even touch his armour as it was being protective by a sort of magical shield-
Maria: Wha-?!
Man: Purpose? Attack? Why must it be me? -He asked Maria as he would grab her spear and pull her towards him as he'd then stare into her eyes closely as Maria began to panic as she would punch the man's face strongly but he felt no pain and did not flinch from being punched multiple times-
Maria: Let go of me! I said...Let...Go of me, you pervert! -She shouted loudly and used her cape to pull her away from the man. She then landed next to Kanade and Tsubasa and got onto a safer position-
Kanade: You alright?
-The man's armour began to mutate as it changed form and colour-
Tsubasa: What is he doing?
"It's mutating! I'd stay clear from him if I were you!" -Kinji spoke through the communicator as he was on his giant scorpion and was on the way with Shirabe and Kirika along with the other Gear users-
-Tsubasa, Kanade and Maria would jump back to take cover but they were a second too late as three giant mechanical tails would reach out from the man's armour and grabbed the girls' legs and tossed them to the buildings down below-
Miku: Tsubasa-san!
Kinji: Beta team has been taken down! I repeat! Beta team are badly wounded! I need immediate evac! -He called for an emergency medical carrier, after Kinji called for the carrier, Kirika would tap on her brother's arm lightly and hold his hand as she would then point straight up ahead as everyone would look at what's ahead. Kinji's eyes widened as he gasped at the sight of what's in front of him- Good God...
-The sight of Titanonova was seen in its giant kaiju-like form as it hissed and screeched loudly up into the air and revealed two other heads from the back of its slenderous body and as it roared, it caused all electronic devices to shut down as Kinji's bots all stopped operating as well-
Kinji: Oh what the hell?!
Kirika: W-What's going on desu?!
Chris: It was an EMP roar!
Miku: EMP?
Chris: Electromagnetic Pulse! It shuts down all electrical devices within certain ranges!
-Back in the base of S.O.N.G-
Genjuuro: Get the back generators on! We need to know what is going on out there!
Aoi: Sir, all generators have been fried, we're on our own..
Genjuuro: God help us all..
-Back with the others-
-As the sight of a much larger Titanonova was seen, the giant machine had three heads and had three tails with maces with spikes at the end of their tails along with a giant dragon-like wingspan-
Kinji: This isn't good, without the army, the evacuation and support will be slowed down by over 70%..
Chris: Then we'll need someone or something to stall that jerk!
Shirabe: Leave that to me.
Kirika: Me too desu!
Chris: Hell no! Don't you two even think about it! That thing right there is massive! It just took out Tsubasa-senpai, Kanade and Maria! What makes you think you can kick its ass?!
Hibiki: Then leave that to us. -Hibiki said as Chris, Kinji, Shirabe and Kirika would turn to look at Hibiki, Soran and Miku-
Kinji: Y-You guys really think you can handle that thing?
Soran: We'll just have to try, right Miku-san?
Miku: Right!
Kinji: Then I'll leave it up to you guys. -Hibiki nodded as she exited the vehicle with Miku and Soran as the three headed straight for the Titanonova clone- Serena-chan, Chris-chan, I'm going to need you two to provide cover while Hibiki-chan and the others distract that thing out there. Shirabe-chan, Kirika-chan, you two will help me evacuate the civilians from here.
The girls: Gotcha!
Kinji: Where's Carol-chan when we need her?!
-The song "Genkai Toppa G-beat" was heard as Hibiki sang the song as she along with Miku and Soran would distract the three headed serpent-
"The determination to break through a single point in my right hand, is in this song of mine
Before asking [How? Why?], I bear this courage
In my fist without hesitation
Be brave (Let's shout) Go in a straight line no matter what
Reach it (Let's shout) I'm the type who fights with one big shot
Smash through (this wall) break through (this heart)
As long as there's a song in my heart
(Believe in) justice (Hold it) tight
Stand tall and become a flower of your own colour
(Not a HERO)
Cry out! (G-beat) Hit the meter! (G-beat) Shake it all off!
With these two hands, with this song, protect it all!
Pierce through! (G-beat) Burn up with your ideals! (G-beat) Fiercely!
I don't need and don't know of any limits
I definitely won't let you go!
I won't lose to the burden and the destiny contained within this power I hold
Even if I get hurt protecting something
I can't abandon my duty just because it's painful
More! (Let's shout) Unless you step forward with resolve
Tightly! (Let's shout) You can't face the future
Tears (I know them) Pain (I know it)
I want to connect before it burns out
Holding out (that hand) extend (that hand)
So I can believe I'm doing this for someone
(Not a HERO)
Rumble on (G-beat) At mach speed (G-beat) Howl out
Become the wind, slice apart the clouds, to the sun in the sky!
Let's go (G-beat) With all my heart (G-beat) At a thousand percent!
To ride this rainbow as high as it'll go!
Echo out! The love in this steel arm!
Cry out! (G-beat) Hit the meter! (G-beat) Shake it all off!
With these two hands, with this song, protect it all!
Pierce through! (G-beat) Burn up with your ideals! (G-beat) Fiercely!
I don't need and don't know of any limits
I definitely won't let you go!"
-As Hibiki's group was distracting the monster, Kinji went to save Maria, Tsubasa and Kanade, as the three were unconscious and their Gears had been deactivated-
Kinji: Well shit!
Chris: Kinji! Doesn't that snake remind you of something?
Kinji: I hope you're not thinking what I'm thinking right now...
Chris & Kinji: Titanonova.. -The two said the name at the same time and would then turn to each other-
Chris: I thought Logan died a year ago after he sacrificed himself to bring the people back and kill Shan?!
Kinji: That or Carol-chan has been keeping secrets from us.. But that's not all, that Titanova is much larger and more powerful than Logan's original one..
Chris: A copy then?
Kinji: A possible mimic with enhanced abilities, if that is so, then the Vastatogear is much more dangerous than the Evegear or even Shan's own Gear combined..
Chris: How could it even be that powerful compared to the two planetary destroying Gears?!
Kinji: Chris-chan! Think about the possibilities of an advance Gear armour that is capable of mimicking other Gear armours and changing its original power to be much more dangerous? That right there is a sign! He just copied the Titanogear from somewhere and just mutated his armour into a much more powerful version of it!
Chris: Th-Then you're saying that it's possible for him to copy Shan's Gear and destroy the entire universe...? -Kinji nodded slowly in fear as he then passed Tsubasa to Shirabe and passed Kanade to Kirika. As he was holding onto Maria, he noticed that her eyes was bleeding as he would then set her down safely and take a closer look at her eyes- What is it?
Kinji: I don't know but Maria-chan's eyes is odd..It's bleeding..
Chris: What?! She needs help!
-Kinji would open up Maria's eyelids slowly and would check her eyesight-
Kinji: She's fine, she was just shot in the eye by something.
Chris: Shot in the eye?!
Kinji: It's a term. She was mentally shot from within...It means that someone has gotten into her head to...See something.. -He would then realise something as he turned to look at the three headed dragon behind him- The Vastatogear user looked into Maria-chan's memories to find out about the Titanogear!
Kirika: D-Desssuuu! Is Maria alright desu?!
Kinji: She's under a trauma, she needs treatment but it's nothing too serious, take her to a nearby hospital now! Shirabe-chan, escort her!
Kirika: Roger desu!
Shirabe: Got it. -The two girls left to bring Maria to a nearby hospital-
Serena: Maria-nee-san...
Kinji: Don't worry Serena-chan, she'll be fine. We just need to find a way to stop that thing.
Serena: I have a plan.
Kinji: Hmm?
-As the giant dragon was rampaging within the air, Soran, Hibiki and Miku were unable to do any damage to the giant machine dragon as it was extremely too powerful for the Gear users to even hurt. Flying past them were Shirabe and Kirika-
Soran: Shirabe-san?! Kirika-san?!
Miku: W-What are they doing?!
Hibiki: Those idiots..
"If your theory is true, Kinji-kun, then it's possible that the memories it copied could also be triggered by certain things!" -Serena stated to Kinji-
"Like what?" -Kinji asked-
"Logan-san's close relationship with Shirabe-chan and Kirika-chan." -Serena said with a serious tone-
-Shirabe and Kirika would head towards the three headed dragon as they were singing the song "Just Loving X-Edge" as they attacked the dragon to get its attention-
"A flashing red light
which do you prefer paradise, hell or Death?
Have you really decided on the two Attention!
Pay attention for Death
Like my immature heart the hostile sentiments that I vent
Is a voltage that has no place to go with my hidden tears
(Did the words that I spat out match with a hypocrite's?)
Hey could we merge on a rail that just pushes forward to Death?
Embracing our dreams in a world that hasn't been minced into pieces
Let's kiss
(I want to be strong just by being protected)
What is there to becoming strong
Just be continuing to seek it
The feelings in my heart
(My real thoughts)
Can't be achieved with just this
(If I could become strong)
The courage to become strong is hidden in my heart
(Could I get closer to the shining sun?)
In the radiance concealed by the moon our paired love has no lies
(Being shined on by you is)
I want you to shine
Just loving
To just my dear enemies
welcome to our black history of Death
For sure we'll surpass our yesterdays with Affection!
It's the strongest Death
I also can't delete them at least I want to redeem myself
My practiced smile isn't elegant
(Even if I take a small step now I should connect)
The wish that I believed in right...should be a Death that connects us
Our past and all our sins and wounds
Let's go and surpass them
(Step by step I'll advance without stopping to my tomorrow)
Surpassing our regrets we gamble our advancing lives
Step by step the dream we draw
(The road to my answer)
If you are seeking the answer
Surely it's there beyond this
(The lifetime's worth of "I love you" that we spun together)
The passion that I spin is my absolute trust
In the beloved life that I share
(If you're with me)
I'm fine if you're by my side
(I can sing a melody)
I want to sing this melody
Just Singing
This hand bundled together with yours...
I definitely won't let go...
Embracing our dreams in a world that hasn't been minced into pieces
Let's kiss
(I want to be strong just by being protected)
What is there to becoming strong
Just be continuing to seek it
The feelings in my heart
(My real thoughts)
Can't be achieved with just this
(If I could become strong)
The courage to become strong is hidden in my heart
(Could I get closer to the shining sun?)
In the radiance concealed by the moon our paired love has no lies
(Being shined on by you is)
I want you to shine
Just loving"
-The dragon took the attacks from the two girls and would stare at them constantly and as Shirabe and Kirika stopped attacking, they would stare back into the dragon's eyes and stop what they were doing-
Chris: What the hell are they doing?
Kinji: No...It's a trap! Soran! Hibiki-chan! Get them outta there! -As Soran and Hibiki were about to head towards Shirabe and Kirika, the two Zababa girls would turn to look at the others as their eyes glowed bright red that showed obvious signs that they were being controlled- Shit! Shut them down! Don't hurt them!
Soran: I'm on it. Let's go, Hibiki-san.
Hibiki: I got your six. -As Hibiki and Soran were about to charge towards Shirabe and Kirika the two Zababa girls returned back to normal in a split second and would get in front of Hibiki and Soran to make sure that the two wouldn't head towards the dragon-
Kirika: S-Stop desu!
Soran: What?!
Shirabe: Don't get close to him!
Hibiki: Huh? Why?!
Shirabe: H-He's not our enemy!
Hibiki: And why should we believe that? He hurt Tsubasa-san along with Kanade-san and Maria.
Kirika: He was attacked when he didn't know anything desu! You cannot blame him!
Hibiki: Not going to buy it.
-Everything then went silent as the dragon stopped its movement and would raise its three heads and stare up ahead to the south of Japan as the three heads began to mumble and growl softly-
Soran: Something's not right...
-Back with Kinji and Chris-
Chris: It stopped moving..
Kinji: It's reacting to something. Something dangerous..
-The three headed dragon transformed back into its human form and would land onto the ground and once he landed onto the ground, he was surrounded by Kinji, Chris, Serena, Soran, Miku and Hibiki-
Kinji: I hope Tsubasa-chan and the others are alright..
-Back in the base of S.O.N.G. There were doctors around the three Symphogear users as their vitals were critical-
Doctor 1: We need a defibrillator!
Nurse 1: Cadenzavna-san's vitals are dropping! Her heart rate is decreasing rapidly!
Doctor 1: Tsk! We need the defib! Now!
-Back to the Gear users-
Kinji: Just who and what are you?!
Man: Incomprehensible. I do not understand.
Chris: Then we'll make you understand by force! -Chris said as she aimed her guns at the male. Kirika got in front of Chris and had her scythe right at Chris' hand- Get out of the way!
Kirika: No desu! You do not understand what is he feeling desu!
Chris: As if I give a rat's ass! That bastard nearly killed our teammates and you're going to let him go?!
Shirabe: He did not kill anyone! -She glared at Chris as her senior would glare back at her junior-
Chris: I'll be the one to decide if he did or did not kill anyone!
-The man would tap his feet onto the ground as the electricity around the city would turn on once more and Kinji's army of bots would reawaken. Back in the base of S.O.N.G, as the doctors were tending to the three wounded Symphogear users, the three gear users' wounds would heal in seconds, confusing the doctors and nurses there-
Serena: H-He just did something..
Hibiki: What did you see?
Serena: I can feel Maria-nee-san's breathing...She's going to be fine... -She said as she would drop to her knees and exhale in relief-
Kinji: As expected of the Symphogear bond. You guys could tell if one another is dying, I wish the Sonicgear had that sort of power.
Man: I could provide you with such power.
Kinji: From you? I'll pass.
Kirika: Onii-chan...You need to trust me desu.. -She said as she walked up to her older brother and looked up at him with a saddened look on her face. Kinji was taken aback from the puppy eyes as he would then let out a sigh-
Kinji: Ugh...Fine...
Kirika: Yay desu~!
Chris: Wha-?! Did you just fall over heels for your sister?!
Kinji: She's my baby! You can't expect me to say "no" to her!
Chris: You're so pathetic!
Kinji: Say what you want, I love my Kirika-chan!
Chris: SIscon...
-Kirika would turn to the male Vastatogear user with a big innocent smile on her face-
Kirika: You're officially invited to our base desu~ If anyone tries to stop us, I'll beat them up desu~
Man: Right... I appreciate it, thank you. -The man said with a smile on his face as he had deactivated his armour and reveal himself to everyone, revealing that he was the same height as Logan with just longer hair and different eye colour and had a different voice. As Shirabe looked over to Kirika and the male, she was staring at the man from a distance as Serena saw that Shirabe was staring at him-
-Moments later at the base, as the man was being escorted to the Colony by Hibiki, Miku, Soran, Shirabe, Kinji, Chris and Kirika as Serena had went over to the medical bay to see her sister and the other two teammates. As Kirika was walking beside the man, she was speaking to him and was getting closer to him as the two were chatting by getting to know each other and as Shirabe was watching the two from behind, she pouted and was feeling uncomfortable from watching the two. Kinji saw Shirabe's look and was getting somewhat worried as he began to think of why the man seemed so familiar-
-Back in the Operations room, Genjuuro was monitoring the man closely as he was unhappy with his visit at the base-
Genjuuro: Kinji-kun, I hope you know what you're doing..
-Once the Gear users reached down to the Colony and had arrived to Kinji's office, everyone had gathered around the man, questioning him-
Kinji: Do you have a name?
Man: No. I do not.
Kinji: No name? You sure you're not keeping secrets from us?
Man: I know nothing of this world.
Kinji: Huh? You don't know anythin- -Before he could finish, Kirika interrupted her brother to speak to the man instead-
Kirika: Calm down, Onii-chan! Let me handle this desu.
Kinji: Kirika-chan?
Kirika: Where did you come from desu?
Man: Somewhere within the pacific ocean. I do not recall where exactly..
Chris: No name and no location of origin, huh? We're stuck then.
Kirika: We'll just dig even further desu!
Kinji: Dig even further? I hope you know what you're saying, Kirika-chan..
Kirika: First we'll give you a name desu~
Man: A name for me..?
Kirika: Yes! But what should we name him?
Shirabe: L-...Lo...-As she was about to say something, everyone turned their attention to Shirabe. The girl would look down and held onto her shoulder in slight fear as Kirika sighed softly-
Kirika: We can't give him that name, Shirabe..
Shirabe: I know...
Soran: Why don't I give him a name instead?
Kinji: Oh? Soran's volunteering, that's surprising.
Soran: I'd like to do my part in something as well. A name for you, eh? -He said as he walked up to the white haired male and looked at him closely- Oddly similar to our former leader...Lucas?
Man: "Lucas"? Is that my new name?
Soran: Hmm.. What do you all think? -He asked everyone in the room and many were alright with Soran's decision- "Lucas" it is then.
Lucas: Thank you..
Kirika: No last name?
Soran: He doesn't need one. Well...Not right now..
-Back under the pacific ocean in the base of the Lotus Empire that Carol and Logan had built in the past. Carol ran within the base and entered a laboratory that had no lights in it. She would reach out to the controls and activate the lights but the lights would not activate-
Carol: No...No...
"What is it?" -The sound of Logan's voice was heard in Carol's head-
Carol: It's gone... -She panicked as she dropped to her knees and held onto the pendant on her chest as her Autoscorers would join up with Carol and look around the lab to see what was wrong. As they pointed their lights up ahead, they saw a large test tube had been broken down and was surrounded with water around it-
Garie: -The blue autoscorer spoke out to her creator- It escaped...? But how...?
Carol: It must've breached the security systems and camouflage itself..
Garie: But there are other pressing matters, just so you know..
Carol: What is it?
Garie: A deity has awoken within the Middle East and he's killing a lot of people there and is heading towards Japan as we speak.
Carol: Tsk! Prepare the army for war! Logan had already told us that a powerful enemy will be coming, but I did not expect it to be this early on...

Logan's character names all have a sort of similarity to one another. Logan, Lotus and Lucas.
