Hey, I'm back with a new chapter.

DCDGojira, thanks, same here, I saw the trailer too, looks lit, I can't wait for the movie. I also saw that trailer for Godzilla vs Kong, I'm not sure about the mecha godzilla thing though, didn't see it. And yeah, his Pacific Rim story is pretty good, I'll be sure to check out that Senran Kagura story.

kazutoxx123, I'm sure we all love Ultraman and Symphogear here. But thank you too, knowing how you feel about this story makes me happy too hahahaha.

Karlos1234ify, I might do that hahahaha. I was planning to do that in the date I wrote before, but then I didn't because I wanted Shinjiro to be clueless on the four spies, or at least, the male ones. But who knows, maybe I might do another one with Moroboshi's lecture glare.

IdeaPerson1097, yep, the two of them are moving forward. And I'll refrain from any spoilers.

ex555, just noticed that your name is pretty much Exceed Charge 555, or a reference to the Extreme Memory... Hahahaha, but anyways, again I'll refrain from any spoilers, but I'll take your ideas into consideration.

So yeah, here's the new chapter. Hope yall like it.

Hibiki froze as soon as the call cut off, and Tsubasa asked, "What happened, Tachibana?"

The cream haired girl snapped out of her stupor and looked at them, "The school, it's being attacked!"

Shinjiro frowned, "By whom?"

Moroboshi narrowed his eyes, he had a pretty good idea who'd be attacking Lydian now, and Chris obviously did too.

The lavender haired girl frowned, "Finé..."

Tsubasa frowned, "But the school's far away, we won't make it in time."

Shinjiro furrowed his brows, "But I can."

Moroboshi nodded, "I'll come with you."

The bespectacled man looked at the three girls, "You three catch up as soon as you can."

The three girls nodded, and Shinjiro and Moroboshi quickly equipped their armors, before flying for Lydian Academy.

(Linebreak)

Earlier, Miku had just reached Lydian after Hibiki left to deal with the Noises.

The girl wandered around the academy, until she spotted Kuriyo, Shiori and Yumi. Kuriyo smiled, "Hey Hina, where's Biki?"

The black haired girl smiled, "She's off with some errands. She'll be back soon I believe."

Yumi raised an eyebrow, "Oh really now? That sounds really much like an anime now."

Shiori sighed and smacked the girl on the head, "Stop relating everything to anime, you goddamn chunnibyou."

Miku giggled, "At any rate, I'm heading back to my room, what are you three up to?"

Shiori sighed, "Kuriyo screwed up her last assignment, so she has to redo it."

Kuriyo chuckled sheepishly, "Ehehe, so I'm headed for the library, and they're tagging along for some reason."

Yumi huffed, "Someone has to make sure you do it right."

The brunette then looked at Miku, "Speaking of which, how'd Hibiki do?"

Miku smiled, "Ah, she did fine I suppose. She didn't mention anything about needing to redo it."

Kuriyo sighed, "So it's just me alone then... This sucks..."

Miku giggled as she walked, "Well good luck, I'll see you all around."

The girl then left to head for her room, and she would have quickly reached it, if not for the huge explosion from ahead of her.

Miku's eyes widened, as she spotted the Noises coming out from the burning building, "N-noises?!"

She quickly fumbled through her bag and brought up her phone, and dialed in Hibiki's number, "Hello, Hibiki? The school! It's being attacked by- wuah?!"

Miku dropped her phone in surprise as a Noise shot at her, barely missing her body, but it destroyed her phone. The Noise then moved to attack Miku, until it was hit by several bullets.

Miku looked at where the gunshots came from, and noticed a few battalions of soldier firing at the Noises, easily drawing the Noises' attention.

The girl blinked, still in shock, until a soldier ran to her, "Hey, it's dangerous here! Hurry up and get to the shelters!"

Miku looked at him, "Okay, I'll help with the evacuation too, I'm a member of Section 2 too."

The soldier blinked, frowning, before he nodded, "I can't say I believe you, but what the hell, go help with the evac, and make sure you're safe too."

Miku nodded, "Where's the evac site?"

The man pointed down the hallways, "There, there're a few of my men there, I'll radio them in about you, now go!"

The girl nodded and ran along the hallways, where she quickly met up with three soldiers. One of them nodded to her, "You're the one, right?"

Miku nodded, "Yes."

The man looked over the group of students, "We need to get them to the shelter now, it'll be a matter of time before the Noises reach this place."

Miku nodded, and she looked at the group of schoolmates, "Everyone! Stay calm, and please follow us!"

The girl nodded to the soldiers, who quickly led the group of girls away, until Miku heard someone call out to her, "Hina!"

The black haired girl turned to see Kuriyo, Yumi and Shiori. Kuriyo looked around, "What the heck is going on?"

Yumi nodded as she frowned, "How can the school be under attack? This isn't anime!"

Miku nodded, "I know, but you three should evacuate too."

Shiori nodded, "Then you should come with us, Kohinata-san."

The girl shook her head, "No, I have to make sure no one's left here. You three go ahead!"

With that said, Miku ran off, quickly disappearing down the corridors. Kuriyo tried to chase after her, but a man called out, "You three!"

The three girls looked at the man, and he yelled, "Hurry to the shelter! The Noises are-"

The soldier was cut off, as a green drill stabbed into his back, and the soldier quickly turned into carbon dust, much to the horror of the three girls.

Yumi screamed in horror, as she took a step back, which only served to attract more Noises, as three horse sized Noises appeared in front of them.

The three girls froze in terror, and the Noises slowly advanced, until three bladed rings of light sliced them apart, and a silver and red armored figure landed before them.

Shinjiro glanced at them, "You three! You okay?"

He ran over to them, and his voice seemed to snap them out of their stupor. Kuriyo nodded, "Y-yeah, who're you?"

Shinjiro opened his mouth to answer, but Yumi beat him to it, "You're that Ultraman guy that was on the net a while ago, right?"

The teen nodded, "Yeah, but we can talk later, right now you three need to get to the shelter."

As if on cue, four Noises landed on the ground behind the three girls by crashing through the windows, and Shinjiro quickly got between the Noises and the girls.

He ignited his Spacium Blades and boosted himself towards the Noises, and in a flash, the Noises dispersed into carbon dust. The teen turned and ran back to three, "Now move!"

Shinjiro looked out of the window, spotting another horde of Noises, and he fired the Spacium Ray, immediately taking them out. He quickly ran back towards the girls as they reached the elevator, and he pushed the number for the shelter.

The teen looked at the three, "Now get going, someone will be there to help you."

Shiori asked, "What about, Ultraman-san?"

Shinjiro looked at her, "I'll deal with the Noise."

With that said, the door closed, leaving Shinjiro alone on that floor. The Ultraman grunted as he saw more Noises appearing in front of him, "Time to work."

He then charged.

(Linebreak)

Meanwhile, Moroboshi was outside the building slicing the Noises apart. The two Ultra suit bearers had agreed to split up. Seven would eradicate the Noises outside, and Ultraman would deal with the Noises inside and make sure everyone was safe.

The man sent another wave of energy that ripped the Noises apart, until he heard a voice, "Moroboshi-san!"

Seven turned to see his friend running to him, "Shinji."

The ninja drew a set of kunai and threw them at the Noises, or rather, at their shadows, before Moroboshi followed up with a slash.

The armored man glanced at his friend, "Things are really going to hell, huh?"

Shinji chuckled, "Unfortunately it is."

Moroboshi frowned, "What are you doing here?"

The man drew his gun and fired a few rounds, before Moroboshi cut them apart with an energy slash, "I was heading back to the base. My squad's almost done with identifying Kadingir."

The bespectacled man nodded, "Good, have you told the commander?"

Shinji shook his head, "Not yet, I'm gonna tell him later when we confirm it."

Moroboshi nodded, grunting as he slashed another Noise apart, before throwing a few Eye Slugger knives at the Noise Shinji was dealing with, "Then get going, I'll handle the Noises."

Shinji nodded, and he ran towards the building, leaving Moroboshi to deal with the Noises. The wearer of the Seven armor frowned, "This is getting annoying."

The man then charged the army of Noises.

(Linebreak)

With Shinji, the man ran towards the buildings where the elevator to Section 2's base was located, and he spotted Miku walking around, most likely looking for any people left.

His eyes widened when he noticed the three Noises that crashed in from the windows, and he quickly ran towards the girl.

Shinji quickly pulled the girl into a roll, right in time as the three Noises passed by them harmlessly. The girl blinked in surprise, "O-ogawa-san!"

The man smiled, "I made it. But we won't be as lucky next time."

The ninja got up, pulling the girl to her feet too, before he pulled her into a run, "Now we gotta go!"

Miku nodded, "O-okay!"

The two quickly ran for the elevator, and Shinji quickly tapped his phone on the scanner, bringing in the lift that would bring them to their base.

But the Noises wouldn't simply wait and let them get onto the lift, and they charged. Shinji cursed as he noticed them, yet the elevator had yet to arrive, "Shit!"

The man quickly pulled Miku back to dodge the Noises, but fortunately, he didn't need to. Because a familiar blue beam of energy stopped the Noises from reaching them, and Shinjiro landed before them.

Shinji grinned, "Right on time, Ultraman."

Shinjiiro nodded as he spotted to lift opening behind the two, "Yeah, now get going. I'll come down as soon as we clear off the Noises."

The pair quickly entered the lift, and Miku called out, "Stay safe, Shinjiro-san!"

The Ultraman simply gave her a thumbs up as he turned away, then the doors closed.

Shinji quickly brought out his phone, and dialed for Genjuro's number, "Hello, commander?"

"Ogawa, status report."

The man nodded, "There's minimal casualties, thanks to Shinjiro-san and Moroboshi-san. Unfortunately most of the soldiers are gone, but we found no casualties on the civilian side."

"Good. What else?"

Shinji looked out of the window, watching the elevator shaft, "We've identified the true form of Kadingir, it's-"

He was cut off when a bladed whip smacked his phone away, and Shinji turned just in time to dodge another whip. The lift shook, and Finé landed into the lift, wearing the Nehushtan's armor.

The woman went to grab Shinji's neck, and the man tried to dodge and smack her hand away, but he had totally underestimated her strength.

Finé chuckled, "I'm surprised, what gave it away?"

Shinji smirked, even as he fought back against her grip, "If you wanted to build such a tower, and to prevent anyone from finding out, then you'd have to build it underground. No one's ever said that a tower can't be underground, after all."

The woman nodded, "Hmm, go on."

The man grunted, "If you take into consideration where we are, then the only thing that fits that description would be the elevator shaft that leads straight to Section 2's underground base. And the only who can make that happen, is you, Sakurai Ryoko!"

Finé nodded, "Good job, unfortunately, that means I won't need to go easy on you."

The man grunted as he struggled in her grasps, and his eyes landed on Miku, right as the doors opened, "M-Miku-san... R-run!"

The girl's eyes was filled with fear as she stared at Shinji being strangled, and she ran out of the lift. Finé spared her a glance, deciding to let her go, before throwing Shinji out of the lift.

The man rubbed his neck sorely as he spared Miku's running figure a glance, and Shinji focused on Finé. The woman stared at him, "You're still here, you don't seem to value your life, do you?"

Shinji narrowed his eyes and quickly drew his gun, firing a few shots at her breasts, where her skin was revealed, yet the bullets simply stopped at her skin, before dropping to the ground harmlessly.

The man frowned, 'As expected... The Nehushtan's armor is strong...'

Shinji moved into a fighting stance, but before he could charge, a familiar suit appeared in front of him, and the man's eyes widened, "H-Hayata-san?!"

Finé narrowed her eyes as she looked at Hayata Shin, "What are you planning to do in that old suit?"

Shin smirked, as he took a simple stance, "Isn't it obvious? I'm stopping you from getting the Durandal."

The woman furrowed her brows, "It seems like you still think you're Ultraman. Let me remind you, you stopped being him the moment he left your body."

The older man chuckled, "You won't know until we try."

He dashed forward with speed that shouldn't be possible with his age, and Finé grunted as she blocked a rather strong punch that was aimed for her head.

The man grunted as he jumped back to avoid a strike from the bladed whip, before he dashed forward again, this time swinging a backfist at the woman. Yet, Finé simply batted it aside, before the woman sighed, "Enough."

She snapped her fingers, and in an instant, the woman let out a burst of energy that sent Shin crashing into the ground. The suit was easily blown to pieces, revealing Shin's bruised body as he struggled to stand up.

Shinji immediately ran over to him, "Hayata-san!"

The older man grunted as he sat up, "It seems my body isn't as young as I hoped it'd be."

Finé huffed, "Your suit was never upgraded. Of course it won't stand up to me. I'm stupid enough to leave that suit untended."

Shin grunted, "So the suit was sabotaged?"

The woman readied her bladed whips, "You can say that. I never bothered to fix it fully after Shinjiro got his suit and took your place, after all."

Finé's whips poised to strike, "No, to make sure all of you don't get in the way."

"Stop right there, Ryoko."

The woman raised an eyebrow, before the ceiling crashed down, revealing Genjuro before her. Finé scoffed, "Still calling me by that name?"

Genjuro stood up, "Would you prefer I call you Finé?"

She scoffed, "It doesn't matter whatever you call me."

The redhead huffed, "Normally, I'd refrain from hitting a woman. But if you try to lay a hand on any one of them, then I'm more than willing to tear you apart."

Finé simply stared at him as Genjuro took a stance, "Our recon squads aren't useless. And thanks to our neighbors from America, we've known about your actions. Then to lure you out, I sent our two Ultramen, and gathered all three of the Symphogear users in one place."

The woman scoffed, "So to counter a scheme, you make one."

She narrowed her eyes at him, "But do you think you can stop me?"

Genjuro simply tensed his stance, "Of course! I'll beat you up, and you can tell us everything after that!"

The man wasted no time and dashed forward, and Finé clicked her teeth, swinging her bladed whips at him. But Genjuro jumped up, and grabbed hold of the ceiling, before kicking himself downwards and threw a punch at the woman.

Finé growled and leapt to a side, narrowly dodging the punch as Genjuro struck the ground. But much to her surprise, her shoulder plates cracked from Genjuro simply brushing past it.

The woman clicked her teeth in annoyance and jumped back away, before steadying her footing, and threw both her whips at him. Yet again, Genjuro surprised her by grabbing the whips at their blunt parts, before pulling Finé right at him.

Not missing a beat, Genjuro landed a devastating uppercut to her stomach, before letting her fall to the ground.

Finé grunted in pain as she nursed her stomach, "H-how can you stand up to someone wearing a completed relic?"

Genjuro turned to face her, "You don't know? I eat, watch action films, and sleep! A true man's training requires nothing more!"

Finé cursed, "But as long as you're a normal person!"

She brought out Solomon's cane, but before she could pull the trigger, Genjuro stomped his feet on the ground, bringing up a few pieces of rubble, and kicked them at the staff, effectively knocking it out of Finé's hands.

The man jumped up, "Even if you bear a completed relic, it's nothing if you can't use the Noises!"

Genjuro raised his fists, ready to put an end to this farce, but right before he could punch her, Fine's hair turned to brown, and Ryoko's voice reached his ears, "Genjuro-kun, help!"

The man faltered for a brief second, but that was enough, and before Genjuro knew it, Fine had stabbed him in the stomach with her whip, and the man fell to the ground.

The woman stood up, "As I thought, you still see Sakurai Ryoko as an ally. Unfortunately, she's not here anymore."

Finé spared Shinji, Shin and Miku a glance, before she turned, holding Genjuro's bloodied phone, "I won't kill any of you. None of you deserve that salvation."

She then walked towards the door that held the Durandal, yet, before she could, she heard a familiar voice, "As if I'd let you!"

The ceiling crashed down yet again, but this time, there were two, and soon, Finé found the two Ultraman suits flanking her, Seven behind her, and Ultraman in front of her.

The woman smirked, "So the main character finally shows up, Hayata Shinjiro-kun."

Shinjiro glared at her, "It's over, Finé! Your Noises are all gone, you've failed!"

Finé smirked at him, "Do you really think that?"

Moroboshi scoffed, "You're outnumbered, and outmatched, what can you possibly do?"

The woman spared him a glance, "Moroboshi Dan, you seem pretty confident, considering you're nothing without that suit."

The bespectacled man narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Finé chuckled, and snapped her fingers, and before Moroboshi knew it, a blast of energy had hit him in the face, and he was sent crashing to the ground. But that wasn't all, for his HUD was suddenly blank, and he found himself unable to move.

Finé huffed, "Unlike the Symphogear system, the Ultraman battle suits actually have the ability to threaten me. Spacium Energy is a fickle thing, after all. Shinjiro-kun's suit is the only one which I didn't install a kill switch."

Shinjiro glared at her, "You seem pretty confident, do you think you can defeat me?"

The woman smiled, "Ah of course not, I didn't install one, simply because I never needed to."

She snapped her fingers, and Shinjiro found himself glowing red, and his color timer started beeping, "This is... the limiter's off?!"

Finé raised her palm at him, and Shinjiro narrowed his eyes, and moved to attack her, but before he could, a device slapped itself onto Shinjiro's Spacium Core. Then, all he could feel was pain.

The teen screamed in pain, until he simply fell to the ground, unconscious. Shin glared at her, "What did you do?!"

Finé chuckled as she picked Shinjiro's limp body up, "Shinjiro is the perfect combination of a human being and an Ultraman. I'm sure I told all of you, he has a Spacium Core in his body, I simply drained it all out of him. But, that, unfortunately, caused him a lot of pain."

She used a bladed whip to hold Shinjiro, before using another to grab Solomon's cane, and Finé turned to the door, "I feel bad for Tsubasa-chan now, and Hibiki, but what can you do?"

Moroboshi grunted as he struggled to his feet, "What are you doing with him?"

Finé spared him a glance, "Hmm, oh, I didn't tell you, did I?"

The woman smiled evilly, "His body is a living battery of Spacium Energy, and it's perfectly compatible with the Durandal, what more would I need to power Kadingir?"

With that said, Finé entered the room that held the Durandal, and the door closed behind her.

Shinji grunted as he got to his feet, and he ran over to Genjuro, "Commander!"

Genjuro grunted as he rolled onto his back, "S-so that was her aim..."

Shinji blinked, as the wound slowly healed itself, "W-wha... commander, your wounds..."

Genjuro nodded, "I know, now help me up."

The ninja obliged, and pulled Genjuro to his feet, "You need to get it treated fast."

The commander grunted, "Yeah, but we need to get back to the command center. I'll be fine if we just patch it up."

He glanced at Shin, "Thanks to Hayata-san's cells, of course."

Miku blinked, "Eh?"

Genjuro glanced at the girl, and he chuckled, "What, did you think I got all those inhumane abilities naturally? Of course not, I was one of the first few experiments done to recreate Ultraman. Another reason why Moroboshi-kun can handle the strain of using the Seven armor is because he's also one of them."

Moroboshi grunted as he leaned on the walls to support his now inactive and heavy armor, "I'm a failed one though."

Miku blinked, "Oh..."

Genjuro nodded, grunting as they moved, "So we've been injected with vials of the Ultra Factor made from Hayata-san's blood."

Shin nodded, "That aside, we need to move fast. Finé won't be waiting for us."

No one objected, and they quickly headed back to the command center.

(Linebreak)

Finé walked towards the Durandal, and she glanced at Shinjiro, "Don't take this personally, Shinjiro. Neither of your fathers would fit this role. One is an empty husk of a human host, and the other is too powerful for me to use. You're the perfect one, if you want to blame anyone, blame your fathers for birthing you."

She chuckled softly, "Maybe when this is all over, I'll let you witness the new world, one that you'll be responsible for bringing about."

Finé focused on the sword and brought up a few panels, "Wake, oh tower that pierces the heavens, come forth and extend beyond the horizon!"

She pressed the final button on the panel, and everything turned white.

(Linebreak)

Shinji, Shin, Moroboshi, Miku and Genjuro quickly made it back to the command center, and Shinji yelled, "We need medical assistance!"

Aoi spotted Genjuro's wounds, and quickly ran to get the medical supplies they'd stored in the room as Shinji laid the wounded man on the sofa.

Moroboshi quickly got out of his suit with help from Ide, before he walked over to Sakuya, "Get a hold of the Symphogears, the enemy's here for the Durandal, and it's Sakurai Ryoko."

Sakuya blinked, "Ryoko-san?"

The bespectacled man nodded, "And Kadingir is the elevator shaft, we need to stop her."

The man nodded and quickly sent out a call to the three girls, "Where's Shinjiro?"

Moroboshi frowned, "Taken away..."

Sakuya frowned, but nodded as he worked to call the girls, but right as he managed to get a connection, all the monitors in the room turned dark.

One of the men monitoring the city spoke up, "We're getting hacked in! Everything's going dark!"

Sakuya frowned, "This... this can only be Ryoko-san's doing..."

Genjuro frowned, "So all our communication equipment's useless..."

Moroboshi cursed, "She's being really thorough with this."

Shin closed his eyes, 'Shinjiro...'

Ide frowned as he tapped through his phone, "It's useless, even the phones aren't working."

Aoi looked at them, "Everything here's down, but, maybe there might be some panels that still work in the shelters."

Genjuro nodded as he sat up, "Yeah, it won't hurt to try."

(Linebreak)

With Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris, the three had finally made it back to Lydian Academy, but what they saw was not what they had expected. Not in the least.

By now, the sky was dark and red, and the moon was very much visible in the sky.

But more importantly, the entire place was silent. Way to silent for their liking.

Hibiki looked around, as the sight sank in, and she fell to her knees, "Lydian... It's gone..."

Chris frowned, "What happened here? Where're those two?"

Tsubasa nodded, "There aren't any Noises left, but... Why?"

It was then that they noticed someone on top of the building in front of them, and Tsubasa blinked, "Sakurai-san?"

Chris glared at her, "I see, so this was all your doing, Finé!"

Tsubasa and Hibiki looked at Chris in surprise, the latter blinking, "She's Finé?"

Chris nodded, "Yeah, the one behind all this."

Ryoko giggled, which slowly turned into full blown laughter, "Still cute as ever, all of you."

She took off her glasses, and unclipped her hair, allowing it to flow down, before throwing the two items away. Then, she glowed, fully engulfed by a white light.

The light soon died down, revealing her in the Nehushtan's armor.

Hibiki blinked," R-Ryoko-san?"

Tsubasa glared, "When did you betray us?"

Finé smiled, "Betray you? I guess if you want to be technical, it'd be 12 years ago."

The bluenette frowned, "What?"

The woman let out a breath, "More specifically, Sakurai Ryoko's soul got replaced by Finé's."

She looked at them, "An ancient priestess from the Sumerian ages, Finé, that's my real name. I sealed my consciousness into my genes, so that when any of my descendants come into contact with an Aufwachen wave, I'd come back to life."

Tsubasa furrowed her brows at her, "So you're like a wraith from the past."

Finé chuckled, "Well, it's not like this is the first time I've done this. I've manifested as famous people from the past, where significant changes in history, or what I call, Paradigm Shifts, happen. Everytime that happens, I will always be there."

Tsubasa narrowed her eyes, "Like the Symphogear system..."

The woman chuckled, "Oh please, that is but a toy I made to please the higher ups. No, if you want to say, a suit, then the better one would be the Ultraman battle suits."

Finé caught herself, before shaking her head, "But, neither of them are right. The one thing that is gonna be the main lead for this age, is none other than my Kadingir!"

As if on cue, the huge tower manifested itself, rising from the grounds, and before the three girls knew, the tower was there, standing tall before them.

Hibiki stared at it, her eyes widened, "Why do all this?"

Finé stared at the girl, "Why? I guess, that is the question."

Her eyes furrowed, "There was a god, back when I was simply Finé. I simply wanted to get close to him, so I built a tower that reached for the heavens."

Anger bled into her eyes, "But he struck it down, not only did he deny me, he dared break the world apart! That is why we are so divided! Because of the wretched Curse of Balal!"

Chris frowned, "So, this Curse of Balal, is why the world is all torn apart?"

Finé nodded, "Exactly! And I'll break the curse! By piercing through the moon."

Hibiki furrowed her brows, "The moon?"

The woman nodded, "Yes, do you know why the moon has been depicted as symbols of discord in the past?"

Finé's eyes glinted with disgust, "It's because the moon is the key to the curse, it's the Curse of Balal given form! And after I destroy it, the world will once again be one, and mine!"

Chris frowned, "So basically all you want is to dominate the world?"

The woman glanced at her, "And?"

Chris scoffed, a smirk forming on her face, "That's cheap. I never would have thought your goal was so cheap! Such a plan just for a third rate ambition?"

Finé huffed, "And? I am eternal. What can three mere insects like you do to me?"

The woman snapped her fingers, prompting the tower to charge up, and the three girls glared at her. Then, they started singing.

"Balwisyall Nescell Gungnir Tron..."

"Imyuteus Ame no Habakiri Tron..."

"Kilterr Ichaival Tron..."

(Play Makyuu Ichaival)

In a flash of light, all three girls were clad in their Symphogear armors, and Chris immediately shot her crossbow at Finé, forcing her to jump off the roof.

The woman landed, clicking her teeth in annoyance, before she noticed the shadows over her. She looked up, and cursed as she saw all three Symphogears.

Finé growled and lashed out her whips, barely blocking the punch and slash from Hibiki and Tsubasa respectively, before jumping away to dodge a kick from Chris.

(Linebreak)

As the four females fought, Bemular floated behind a tree, having witnessed the entire thing unfold.

The being frowned, 'So that is why you've done everything in the past.'

He stared down at the four as they fought in distaste, 'You have it all wrong. Enki never hated you, rather, he treasured you too much. Everything he did then, was for the betterment of humankind, and for you.'

Bemular let out a breath, he had not paid attention to Finé's actions in the beginning, and by the time he had realized it, her plans were already in motion, almost finished too, considering he had realized it only during her previous incarnation.

The silver being shook his head, before he focused on the tower, and he frowned, 'So you're being used as a battery... Can you escape that fate, Ultraman?'

Bemular simply stayed there as he watched on.

(Linebreak)

Meanwhile, Miku, Aoi, Sakuya, Genjuro, Shin, Moroboshi and Shinji entered a shelter as Miku pushed down a piece of rubble. As they entered, the youngest girl widened her eyes in surprise as she was met with three very familiar faces.

Miku smiled, "You're all fine! Thank god!"

Sakuya quickly went to check on the terminal on the desk, and much to his relief, it was functional, "This terminal's usable!"

Shinji nodded, "I'll go check on the other shelters."

Genjuro nodded as the ninja ran off, and Kuriyo looked at Miku, "Hina, who're these people?"

The girl blinked, and she nodded, "Well..."

Her answer came from Genjuro, "We're the Disaster Relief Squad. We're pretty much responsible for cases like this."

Yumi looked at him, spotting the rather bloody wound on his stomach, which was still being patched up by Aoi, "So... You're like from the government?"

Shin nodded, "You can take it that way."

They were interrupted by Sakuya, who spoke up, "Okay! We're connected!"

Everyone looked at the terminal, as a video popped up, revealing what was supposed to be the front of Lydian, now replaced by a massive tower. And before it, were four figures fighting, all of which they recognized.

Aoi frowned, "This is... Ryoko-san?"

Miku frowned as the video zoomed in on Hibiki and Chris, "Hibiki... And that girl, Chris too..."

Kuriyo glanced at her, "Did you know about this, about Biki?"

Miku nodded, "I did..."

The taller girl nodded, "And that time when you two fought, it was because of this?"

The black haired girl nodded, "Yes it was."

Yumi frowned, "This is so just like anime!"

Moroboshi huffed, "This is not a show, it's all real. And if we don't stop her, the world will be in trouble."

The three girls fell silent at that, and everyone decided to focus on the screen.

(linebreak)

Chris glanced at Tsubasa, who nodded, something that was unnoticed by Hibiki.

In response, the two girls dashed forward, and Tsubasa swung her blade at Finé, who parried the sword with her whip. As the two pushed against each other, Finé spotted Hibiki in the air on her left, her fist pulled back.

The woman scowled and barely managed to raise her left arm to block the strike.

Surprisingly, the punch pushed all three of them away, and Hibiki and Tsubasa landed on the ground, as Finé landed right where they wanted. The woman also quickly took notice of this.

For Chris had two huge missiles loaded on her back, and the lavender haired girl smirked, "Got you!"

One of the missiles launched, and Finé cursed as she jumped around, dodging the missile, yet it homed in on her, forcing her to back away more. For while the Symphogear's normal output could not harm her, compressing all of it in one blow definitely could.

Then, to her surprise, the missile swerved and changed to shoot at the tower, and Finé growled, "As if!"

She lashed out her whip, slicing it apart, until she remembered there was another shot, and looked around, "Where's the other one?!"

Finé's eyes widened, as she realised Chris was missing too, and her head snapped up to see said girl on the missile, shooting straight up.

(End Makyuu Ichaival)

Hibiki blinked, and yelled out, "Chris!"

Tsubasa frowned, "What is she doing?"

Finé frowned as she realized what the girl was trying to do, "It's useless! No matter how hard you try, you can't stop the Kadingir!"

Chris glanced back at her, and a smirk plastered her face, before she started singing.

"Gatrandis Babel Ziggurat Edenel..."

Finé's eyes widened, something mirrored by both Hibiki and Tsubasa, and the cream haired girl frowned, "This is... Her Climax Song?!"

"Emustolronzen Finé el Balal Zizzl..."

A purple hue covered the area, and Chris let go of the missile, hovering directly above the Kadingir.

"Gatrandis Babel Ziggurat Edenel..."

Multiple diamond shaped reflectors popped out from her skirt armor, with the armor itself forming reflector units too. Chris' gauntlets then extended to form to pistols, which she used to fire off two beams of energy that started reflecting between all the reflector units.

"Emustolronzen Finé el Zizzl..."

The reflector units all lit up, gaining power, and Chris aimed her pistols at the tower, which both extended into two massive cannons.

Chris smirked at Finé's shocked expression, "Twin Satellite Cannon... FIRE!"

Chris pulled the trigger, and all the reflector units fired, letting all the beams converge into one single attack.

At the same time, the Kadingir fired, shooting a green beam of pure energy that reached for the moon.

The two beams clashed, and much to Finé's unpleasant surprise, Chris' attack was pushing the Kadingir's beam back with equal force, and she frowned, "She's... Pushing it back?!"

The woman panicked, fearing that the tower might be destroyed, before she remembered the one thing she had in the tower that wasn't the Durandal, "WAIT! Shinjiro's in the tower! If you destroy it, he'll die!"

That drew the attention of all three girls, and Chris widened her eyes, "W-what?!"

She faltered. And that was the only mistake the tower needed, for it's power easily dwarfed over Chris' own, before the green beam engulfed the girl.

Yet, much to Finé's shock, while the beam from the Kadingir hit the moon, it had been way off mark, and the clash with Chris' attack had substantially reduced its power. The result was a fragment of the moon falling off.

Finé frowned, "She was able to stop it..."

Soon, they spotted a single figure falling to the ground, and none of them were able to stop it. Yet, none of them were able to spot a glimpse of silver that shot towards it from the ground.

Tsubasa and Hibiki's eyes widened, "Y-Yukine/C-Chris-chan..."

Hibiki fell to her knees, tears glistening in her eyes, "W-why? We only just managed to become friends..."

She clenched her fists, "Chris-chan..."

Finé stared at them, folding her arms, "She killed herself, just to protect the moon. Hmph, what a worthless act. To throw away her life just like this, befitting of trash like that."

Something snapped in Hibiki, and a black aura started reaching out from her chest.

Tsubasa frowned, "You dare laugh at that? At someone sacrificing herself, just to protect something!"

Finé's words had struck a cord in her and Tsubasa didn't like it at all, not to mention, something about Shinjiro being in the tower, it didn't sit well with her, not one bit.

Tsubasa pointed her sword at Finé, ready to attack yet again, but before she could, Hibiki's voice reached their ears, no, it wasn't Hibiki's voice, rather, a voice that sounded like hers, but way darker.

"Don't you dare laugh at my friend!"

The two turned, and they were both surprised to see Hibiki pitch black, literally, her eyes glowing blood red. The girl roared, and blew Tsubasa away to the ground.

Tsubasa blinked in shock as she got to her feet, "T-Tachibaba?"

Finé, on the other hand, smirked, "I see, so it's finally happening."

The bluenette glanced at the woman, "What do you mean?!"

The woman spared her a glance, "I believe I've mentioned this before. Tachibana Hibiki is a being that has fused with fragments of a relic, the holy lance Gungnir. And now, they are making her go berserk, such that she is filled with a massive amount of power she cannot control."

That particular conversation flashed through Tsubasa's mind, and she glared at Finé, "You experimented on her?!"

Finé chuckled, "Of course, well, not just her. I've also been experimenting on your precious boyfriend. But, that aside, don't you want to see it? The sight of when Tachibana Hibiki falls to the power of Gungnir, the relic your best friend used to possess!"

Tsubasa's eyes widened, "W-what did you just say?"

Finé's smirk widened, not bothering to give a response. But she didn't need to, because they were both interrupted by a roar.

Then all hell broke loose. And again, none of them noticed the glint of sliver that passed by the tower from the other side.

(Linebreak)

Bemular grunted as he laid Chris down, 'Troublesome girl...'

He then glanced at the other person that laid by the girl's side, 'As for you... I suppose, I can put my trust in you a bit more...'

Before him, was Shinjiro, most of his Ultraman armor broken, but more importantly, his chest was glowing with a bright blue.

Done. So yeah, that's the chapter. We saw Chris use her Climax Song, and before anyone asks, yes, THAT Twin Satellite Cannon! The Double X one.

Watching back on that episode, I just realized everything about Chris in season one was all Gundam references. Her entire arsenal was a reference to Heavyarms Gundam, and her Climax Song was pretty much the Satellite Cannons or Wing Gundam's Twin Buster Rifle.

Then we have Hibiki going berserk as well...

So yeah, I'm heading straight onto working on the next chapter after I post this. Hopefully I'll have it done by next Monday.

Until then, review please.
