- "Ruyi Jingu Bang wukong a Tron"
The song resounded in the place getting the attention of all the military.
{BGM: "Ultimate Legend • Ruyi Jingu Bang"}
- "HYYAAAAAAA!" - Katsumi shouted throwing a punch at Lucy's face leaving her defenseless and making her falling backwards to the ground. A few seconds later, the great rays of the blades were shot towards the sky causing it to acquire a golden like color.
Katsumi manages to dodge it and goes to one side of the battlefield.
Everyone at Section two was amazed at what they just saw. Katsumi posed announcing that she was there and then summoned a long staff with golden ends.
Kristen was watching everything from her mobile, despite her mood, she was surprised by that maneuver and after a few moments of reflection she stood up with her eyes filled with determination.

EP4: "Aurora"
A long time ago in the city of Los Cabos in Mexico ...
Lucy, lived with her mother. They were alone since the woman's husband was killed for not paying an extortion from a criminal gang.
Little Lucy went to the small school in that town every day with her friends Lara and Jean, after school they went to have fun in one of the nearby parks. The three girls were very close and they helped each other.
Jean was being bandaged by Lucy after a fight at her house the night before.
- "Did you fight with your father again?" – Lucy asked while bandaging one of the wounds on Jean's right arm
- "Yes, but he was the one who started…" - Jean pouted
- "I already told you that you cannot face him, one of these days he's going to kill you" – Lucy said
- "But... I cannot let him insult my mother whenever he feels like it!" - Jean replied
- "And you have not thought about reporting him?" - Lucy asked innocently
- "The law in this place is made to protect criminals and punish the righteous, that is no use" - replied Jean somewhat angry
- "I see... Well, I'm done, try not to use your arm too much, ok?"
- "I feel better already, thank you Lucy!" - Jean said with joy
- "No problem, I will always be here to help you and Lara" - Lucy said optimistically
Jean looks at her tenderly for a moment.
- "Wow, so you were here!" - Lara said arriving at the place carrying a suitcase
- "Oh, Lara, you came!" - said Jean
- "We better hurry or they won't let us enter to class" - Lara said turning around
- "Yes!" - Both girls said grabbing their backpacks
In the present...
Lucy looks at Katsumi, eyes full of rage, then she launches at high speed, Katsumi uses her staff to protect herself from the blow but subsequently she is pushed a few meters back, due to the force produced by Lucy's gear, Katsumi falls on her back and continues to be dragged by Lucy.
Katsumi tries to move her staff slowly to one side to try to get away from the attack, then when she gets the necessary momentum, she hits Lucy in the face with one end of the staff causing Lucy to crash into the ground and Katsumi manages to free herself from the attack.
Lucy gets up quickly and a piece of metal that emanates enough energy to form a bright orange sword appears in her right arm, then Lucy launches herself towards Katsumi ready to finish her. With her new sword she tries to hurt her but Katsumi protects herself with her staff, then Lucy repeatedly tries to attack her by knocking Katsumi back, then cornering her in a building.
Katsumi jumps because Lucy does not stop attacking. Lucy begins to launch several energy attacks towards Katsumi who manages to dodge them all.
- "DIE!" - Lucy shouted taking advantage of Katsumi's vulnerable state to attack her with her energy sword, but Katsumi nimbly dodges the attack causing the building behind her to start collapsing.
Katsumi appears from behind and tries to kick Lucy but she grabs her leg and throws Katsumi to the ground like a rag doll.
- "Auch…! That girl is powerful" - Katsumi said as she recovered from the fall
- "Katsumi, are you okay?" - used Hibiki using the gear's internal communication system
- "Eh? I didn't know that I could communicate with this... Yes, I'm fine, my back only hurts a bit from that fall" - Katsumi replied still in pain - "I suppose you've seen everything"
- "Yes, it seems that this man is determined to get us out of the way" - replied Hibiki - "Be careful"
- "Okay, I'll try" - Katsumi said
Lucy desperately searches for Katsumi among the rubble of the building and surroundings.
- "Hi! Are you looking for me?" - Katsumi shouted appearing behind Lucy with a pose that Tsubasa recognized immediately
- "That pose...!" - Tsubasa remembered her great friend and first wielder of Gungnir: Kanade Amou - "You never wanted to leave, did you Kanade?" - Tsubasa thought while smiling
**Hindsight**
In one of the breaks from the recordings of one of Katsumi's songs, Maria tells her stories about their missions as Symphogear users.
- "...thanks to Kohinata's help, we managed to stop that incident and return home alive." - said Maria culminating the story of her battle against the Nephilim.
- "I have a question, master" - Katsumi said raising her hand
- "What do you want to ask?" - asked Maria
- "That expression… 'Armed Gear'. You use it a lot, what does it mean?"
- "You see, an Armed Gear is a weapon that depending on the user's combat style manifests itself in a certain way, in my case, the Airgetlam's Armed Gear was a whip-sword that could be used as a pair of daggers"
- "I see... The Gear chooses a specific shape depending on the user, that system is fascinating!" - Katsumi said
- "But when you get to control your abilities completely you can create your own variants using the power of your mind, you just have to imagine it!"
**End of hindsight**
- "Well..." - Katsumi said closing her eyes focusing on her Gear and applying what she had learned in the past.
The staff splits in two parts which adhere to her arms reassembling a pair of huge bracelets attached to a pair of gloves with a shiny circle on her palms. Then she clasps her hands forward (as if she was going to do a Kame Hame Ha) and the energy in her palms begins to charge.
Katsumi shoots the attack at Lucy hitting her squarely.
"Tokubudou Dai-1-Kai Undou: Nikkou Hanpatsu Taihou"
Katsumi sees that Lucy managed to survive; her gear offered her an enormous resistance, although she knew she had hit her because her face was bleeding.
- "It didn't do anything to her!" - Hibiki said worried
- "I think it's because it's getting dark" - said Maria
- "And what does that have to do with anything?" - Hibiki asked
- "As far as I know, the story of Riyu Jingu Bang says that it brings out its greatest potential with sunlight, but since it's getting dark, Katsumi's attack was not strong enough to defeat that girl" - Elfnein replied
- "I see..." - Hibiki said, paying attention to the battle again
Lucy unfolds her four blades, charging an enormous amount of energy into them.
- "It can't be! My attack didn't work!" - Katsumi said somewhat exhausted - "I guess this is going to end here..." - She smiled as she saw that Lucy's blades were fully charged.
Lucy shoots the energy beams straight at Katsumi until...
- "Chandrama Bhaala Trishula Tron"
A huge green beam blocks Lucy's attack resulting in a huge explosion on the spot.
While the explosion passed, Lucy feels a painful kick in the belly which sends her against a park where there were cherry trees whose petals were falling because of what just happened.
In Section 2 everyone smiled when they saw Kristen carrying her Gear on the battlefield.
Katsumi is surprised by the sudden arrival of Kristen, then she runs to be by her side.
- "Hey, that was amazing!" - Katsumi said visibly happy - "You are the girl of that day, right? The one who fought in the other commercial walk"
- "Ahm… Yes, I suppose that's me, and you are...?" - Kristen said a little confused by the question
- "Ah sorry, my name is Hayashi Katsumi" - Katsumi said bowing
- "Yuzuki Kristen, that's my name" - Kristen said introducing herself, then she glanced at Katsumi noting that she owned a Gear like Trishula - "Elfnein didn't tell me about a second Gear..." - Kristen thought
- "I see you've had problems with her" - Kristen said
- "Yes, it is a hard nut to crack" - Katsumi replied
- "Well, we only have to face her together, I have seen everything so you don't need to tell me anything" - Kristen said getting into position for the battle
- "Oh, okay, let's do this!" - Katsumi said also getting into position for the battle
- "Hey! That's my line!"
- "Ah, sorry! I didn't want to steal your line"
- "I'm not liking this anymore, but I will give you one last chance" - said Andrew pressing the button again, causing Lucy to now feel an excruciating pain which causes her Gear's energy to go haywire causing destruction all over the place.
Kristen and Katsumi jump to dodge the attacks, Kristen uses her trident to deflect some attacks while Katsumi does the same with her staff.
- "I guess I have no choice" - Kristen thought and then headed as fast as she could towards Lucy
- "Wait, what are you doing?" - Katsumi shouted
- "Gotcha!" - Kristen said while appearing in front of Lucy and right after that, she hugged her
Lucy begins to feel weird and after that an overwhelming silence prevails in the surroundings
- "Gatrandis babel zigurat edenal… Emustolronzen Finé el balal zizzl..."
- "Is that...!?" - Elfnein asked
- "Her Zesshou?!" - Hibiki, Tsubasa and Maria finished her sentence
- "Don't do it, Kristen!" - Hibiki shouted
- "We don't know what can happen, stop!" - Tsubasa shouted
In the place the atmosphere changes to a color between green and purple, at the same time several cherry blossom petals slowly move around both girls.
Katsumi did not understand much of what was happening but at the time so she only stood there, watching.
- "...Gatrandis babel zigurat edenal… Emustolronzen Finé el zizzl".
A trickle of blood appears in Kristen's mouth, then a bright green energy appears in the back of her Gear causing her and Lucy to go towards the sky like a shooting star.
The rising green star is seen by all the inhabitants of the country, the news agencies began to report the phenomenon and everybody used their mobiles to record such an amazing event.
Two young girls were leaving a modeling agency when they saw what was happening.
- "Kirika, look at that" - pointed the young girl with black hair and pink eyes
"Tsukuyomi Shirabe (27) - Fashion designer and former wielder of the Shul Shagana relic"
- "A shooting star! Should we make a wish?" - The other girl with blonde hair and green eyes replied smiling.
"Akatsuki Kirika (28) - Director of a non-profit children's organization and former wielder of the Igalima relic"
- "I don't think that is..." - Shirabe stared at the star and put her right hand on her chest as her eyes moved slightly
- "Eh?" - Kirika expressed confused
In a nearby apartment, a white-haired girl with lavender touches prepares her luggage for a trip to a Middle Eastern country, the girl realizes the greenish glow in the sky and goes to her balcony to see what is happening.
"Yukine Chris (30) - Singer and activist, former wielder of the Ichaival relic"
The young woman puts her hands together and makes a wish with a smile on her face, without knowing what is really happening.
Within the glow, the mind control device and part of the Gram Gear are destroyed by the force of the energy she is in. Lucy regains the glow from her eyes and her usual consciousness, then turns her face to see Kristen who smiles "one last time", after that she closes her eyes as if she was going to sleep.
The star bursts into an aurora borealis, further wowing the population and worrying the Section 2 staff who were already on the verge of tears, especially Elfnein and Hibiki.
Katsumi kneels at the sight of the Northern Lights with a feeling that makes her feel a big pain on her chest.
- "I never thought I would see something like this… We barely exchanged a few words..." - Katsumi said sadly, before lowering her face slightly
Suddenly, the sky was covered by some kind of glitter and Kristen and Lucy fell at incredible speed.
The Aurora Borealis stayed in the sky for a little longer.
