The screen began to play, at first showing Tsubasa slicing into some Noise with her usual emotionless face. Next, Hibiki was running down an alley before ducking under a Noise attack, defeating one soon after. Then, it showed Zero-One in Flying Falcon take out some flying Noise with ease. Next, Tsubasa was seen slashing through some Noise in the field. After, it showed Hibiki getting knocked into a car before showing Zero-One in Breaking Mammoth wrestling a giant Noise. Finally, it showed Genjurou watching with a frown present on his face. "Even after a month," he muttered, "They still can't get along."

(Play Inferno by Mrs Green Apple)
Terasu wa yami bokura wa
Arukinarete kita hibi mo totta
Yume wa antai na kurashi da ga
Shigeki busoku yue ni daradara
The camera slowly closed in on a frozen Takiyama Hiden walking down the sidewalk with Hibiki and Miku by his side, the three with bright smiles printed on their faces.
It then changed to a scene of both Tsubasa and Kanade sitting at a cafe table, frozen still as Kanade was caught in the middle of a laugh. Next to Tsubasa was Naki as Ikazuki was seated beside Kanade.
Terasu wa yami bokura no
Arukinareteita michi wa doko da?
Toki wa tama ni shaku da ga
Nukumori ni tsutsumare tada
It then changed to both Takuya and Chris standing in a room, loading a clip to their separate pistols. On a table in between, rested his Shotriser with Ichival's crystal.
Next, it was Section 2's headquarters as it saw both Genjuurou and Sakurai, Horobi and Jin standing among them.
Homura ga tatsu shirube no hou e
Omoidasu wa yasashii merodii
It drifted off again, showing everyone moving forwards as they transformed, moving their way towards a massive horde of noise with someone in golden armor all the other side.
Eien wa nain da to nain da to iu
Sore mo mata iina to waratte miru
Kagayake ba itsuka wa hikari mo tae
Bokura wa inochi no hi ga kieru sono hi made aruite yuku
Zero-One launched overhead, planting a foot into a noise's face before Hibiki dashed past, sending her fist into a noise, dissolving it.
Behind them, Vulcan was firing round after round at various Noises while grabbing a few and crushing their heads. Valkyrie was running in between the Noise, digging her claws into them as she passed by. Chris was behind Vulcan, launching all the long range attacks she had.
Oto ga deru gangu mo itami wo tobasu mahou mo
Zenbu boku ni totte no takaramono
Then, it shows both Hibiki and Zero-One in Shining hopper appearing before the person in golden armor, both in ready stances before the scene was wiped out.
Eien wa nain da to nain da to iu
Bokura wa inochi no hi ga kieru sono hi made aruite yuku
Finally, it showed everyone's hands being held together.
(Op end)
HIbiki sat in their room, Miku sitting across from her with their laptops stationed in front of them. Hibiki was in the middle of writing a paper, but she was struggling to stay up, her mind and body wanting to doze off from the recent loss of sleep. "Hibiki," Miku said, catching Hibiki's attention away from sleep, "If you fall asleep. You won't finish in time." As Hibiki rubbed the sleep from her eyes, Miku continued, "If you finish that report, they said they'd let you off the hook for make-up exams. So don't fall asleep." Hibiki sheepishly sighed as she laid her head down.
"I'm not asleep... I'm awake.." Hibiki muttered, "my eyes are just closed..." "Lately, you seem pretty tired," Miku stated. Hibiki reassured her, "I'm fine... just fine.." "You don't look just fine!" Miku stated, expressing her worry. However, Hibiki's mind wasn't focused on that as it returned to what happened the night a month ago.
-Kaban-
"Please fight with me!"
"Yes." This brought a smile onto Hibiki's face. "You and I... let's fight." But her grin quickly changed. Tsubasa lifted her blade, pointing it at Hibiki. This left the girl confused. However, it didn't get far as Zero-One stepped in front of Hibiki, grabbing Tsubasa's blade. "Leave her be..." He told her cold girl, "She's just here to help people, not to be your punching bag." Tsubasa's eyes slightly closed, glaring at Zero-One. "If you want to fight anyone," Zero-One's grip began to tighten, the edge of Tsubasa's blade beginning to drop in temperature, "Then fight me. After all, I wasn't quick enough to stop Kanade from losing her Symphogear. So blame me and stop blaming Hibiki or yourself..."
"Wh-What are they doing?" Genjurou spoke in confusion as he stared at the screen from the base. Sakurai stood to the side, smiling gleefully. "Oh, to be young again," she spoke. "Where are you going Commander-san?" one of the workers there asked. "Someone has to stop those idiots," Genjurou responded, stepping inside an elevator. Sakurai sighed, "He's still young, too. But there is something about them, isn't there?" Sakurai looked at the screen, looking at Hibiki and Zero-One with a sly smirk, "Maybe she's the type you just have to help? And he's the type you can't help but fight with?"
Back on the field, Zero-One and Tsubasa glared at each other. "You don't know what you're talking about..." Tsubasa spoke, slipping her blade away from Zero-One. "I don't know? That is the stupidest thing you've said," Zero-one chuckled, "But it's just as funny as my dad's corny jokes." "W-What?" Tsubasa said, confused. "Look... Because of this driver and because of the life i'm living, my mind can rival supercomputers so don't give me bull. Ever since that day, you've blamed yourself for Kanade's loss of her Symphogear, I know it. But as soon as Hibiki came into the picture, you began to blame her as well. Every night you think about what if she didn't show up at that concert!" "Shut up..."
"You can't tell me I'm wrong... I've overheard what Genjurou thinks and I've heard from Kanade how you feel... So stop it.." "SHUT UP!" Tsubasa shouted, jumping into the air. Her blade changed shape, becoming a large blade that looked like Breaking Mammoth could wield. Tsubasa connected her foot with it, pushing it forwards.
Heavenly Dragon's Scale
Zero-One frowned, tapping his driver.
Freezing! Impact!
Zero-One brought his hands together in front of him, facing the cold vents outwards towards Tsubasa. The vents activated, pushing cold out from them at a high rate, freezing over Tsubasa's blade. After that, he prepared to kick it with full force as it came closer, but Genjurou stood in front of him, fist out. With a grunt, Genjurou put full force into his fist, shattering the blade. "Uncle...?" Tsubasa spoke, beginning to fall. With another grunt, the ground underneath Genjurou shattered as the effect rippled. Tsubasa landed on the ground, water erupting from the ground.
Genjurou stood straight then, shaking his hand, "look at this mess..." He then grabbed his wrist, saying, "What are you guys doing?" "Genjurou-San, your shoes," Zero-One pointed out, making Genjurou sigh. "These shoes were expensive," he muttered, "How many movie stunts do you think you could borrow from?" Genjurou then walked over to Tsubasa. "That wasn't like you, Tsubasa. Just letting go, without aiming, just by being provoked. Or..." Genjurou then noticed something that confused him, "Are you cry-" But he was cut off by Tsubasa, "I'm not crying!" Tsubasa then shook her head, "and I'm not shedding any tears... Kazanari Tsubasa is a warrior, who has trained her body into a sword. So..." "Tsubasa-San?" Hibiki spoke, worried. Genjurou then help up his niece.
"I understand that I'm not good at all," Hibiki began, walking over, "But I'll do my best from now on, and..." She was stopped by Takiyama, who had de-henshined and put out his arm in front of Hibiki. But it didn't stop her from finishing, "I'll take Kanade's place!" This made Tsubasa look at her before running over. Her hand then came against someone's cheek, hitting them hard as tears ran down her cheeks. Who's cheek was it? Well, it was Takiyama's of course, who had stepped in front of Hibiki. He knew that Tsubasa was gonna slap Hibiki after she said what she said, but he could tell that slapping Hibiki wasn't the best response.
-Flashback end-
Hibiki frowned as she thought about that night. 'Tsubasa-San was crying..' Hibiki thought. Elsewhere, sitting alone surrounded by lit candles, was Tsubasa. Her eyes were closed as she concentrated. In her head, she remembered that night, the concert. How Kanade was saved, but she remembered the aftermath. Kanade wasn't able to sing anymore and neither could she really do anything at that moment. From the shock of the Swan song and from being saved from it, Kanade had taken a toll on her body. It took her about a month before she could see again and two more so she could walk.
Tsubasa suddenly grabbed the katana in front of her and unsheathed it, holding the tip edge against a flame. "Everything happened... Because I was too weak.." She then left. With Hibiki, she picked up her phone as it went off. She knew what it was for. "What? Did you get the AM/PM setting on your alarm wrong?" Miku asked. "No, well..." "Takiyama-Kun need you for something this late?" Hibiki sheepishly rubbed her head as she nodded, "Yeah... B-But not for anything weird!" Miku giggled slightly at Hibiki's reaction to being teased on her crush.
"If you want to go out, I can take care of curfew for you... Just make sure to do something for this," Miku said. She turned around her laptop and showed Hibiki a video of a meteor shower. "You know how we promised we'd go see the meteor shower together with Takiyama-Kun? We can't do that if you have a mountain of reports to go through. Hibiki nodded, "Yeah! I'll do something!" Hibiki then stood up to get changed. Miku sighed and walked over to help her.
Later, Takiyama walked through the entrance to Section 2 with two males following behind him. "Sorry I'm late," Takiyama told them, rubbing the back of his head, "but i just thought I'd bring in some help for the future." He then motioned to the two behind him. Genjurou knew who they were but hardly anybody else did. One of them had blond hair and was dressed in an old styled outfit, being primarily dark colors. The other had black hair and wore a black suit, a chain dangling from his left wrist with something attached to it. "This is Jin and Horobi, Kamen rider Jin and Horobi respectfully," Takiyama introduced. "Pleased to meet you," Horobi, the blond, said, bowing. Jin, the black haired one, smiled, "Let's try to get alone shall we." But then, he noticed how everyone had drinks, Tsubasa was gone, and Hibiki was standing with a blush. "I missed it all, didn't i..." Takiyama said, making everyone but Hibiki laugh.
Later the next day, we see Takiyama waiting outside the Flower with something in his hands. He was waiting for Seth to get off work. He had to talk with him, now was the time. As the time hit, Takiyama sighed and looked at the door. Seth opened the door, straigenting a baseball cap that had a bald eagle on it. He looked at his friend, surprised that he was waiting there. "Taki-Kun..."
Afterwards, we see Hibiki standing in front of a subway, speaking with Miku on the phone. "Gomen... Something came up," Hibiki muttered, "me and Toki-Kun may not be able to see the shooting stars with you tonight..." This caught Miku off guard, but she brushed it off. "Another important thing?" She asked. "Alright then. I'll leave the door unlocked so don't get here too late," Miku told her.
After, Hibiki stared down the subway, frowning. Staring back at her were Noise.
"Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron."
Hibiki was geared up in her symphogear as she went down, beginning battle against the Noise while singing. She pounded fist, elbow, and foot into Noise after Noise, destined to finish them. HIbiki went deeper into the subway as she was informed of the Noise signals. She then crashed into one of them, sending in into a sign. But as she fought against them, one Noise dropped balls off of its body and around Hibiki, making them explode. However, Hibiki wasn't able to get out. The Noise then took it's chance to run while the others stared at the pile of rubble.
"I wanted to see them..." She muttered. Then rubble then bursted as Hibiki shot out of it, pounding her fist through a Noise, "I wanted to see the shooting stars!" She then turned to attack another, "I wanted... to see the shooting stars with Miku and Toki-Kun!" Hibiki then began to screech with rage filling her being.
From the entrance of the Subway, Seth stared down at Hibiki, worried. "Biki-Chan..." he muttered, pulling his hat down slightly to shadow his eyes.
