Xenoblaze here with a new fanfic. Some time ago, triscythe59 had commissioned a fanfic. It's taken a while, but here it is. A Symphogear and Kingdom Hearts crossover. Now, let's get to it.
As usual, I own nothing.
AN1: To save time, this fic takes place after Symphogear XV, so the girls have their XV looks.
AN2: For the following segment, Italics means Sora and Underline means Hibiki.
A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory.
A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream.
I want to line the pieces up... yours... and mine.
{Play KH2 OST - Darkness Of The Unknown (Phase 1)}
In a strange dimension, a great battle was taking place in the sky. With a yelp, a girl with light brown hair, orange eyes and wearing a armored orange and white outfit with wings is thrown back.
Her name is Hibiki Tachibana. Wielder of the Symphogear Relic, Gungnir. And she was currently in the most powerful form the Symphogear can achieve. The X-Drive.
Just as she recovers, Hibiki gasps as a volley of missiles are launched at her. Luckily, another volley of missiles cancel the ones incoming out. Hibiki looks behind her to see another girl also in her X-Drive form. This girl also has long white hair with a lavender tint and purple eyes.
Her name is Chris Yukine. Wielder of the Symphogear Relic, Ichival.
"Keep your eyes open, Dummy!" Chris says.
Chris flies pass Hibiki. Joining her are three other girls in their X-Drives.
The oldest, Maria Cadenzavna Eve, is a woman with long pink hair and cyan eyes. She wields the Symphogear, Airgetlám. The other two girls, Kirika Akatsuki and Shirabe Tsukuyomi, have blonde hair with green eyes and black hair with pink eyes respectively. The two wield Igalima and Shul Shagana.
"Are you alright, Tachibana?"
Hibiki looks to her left to see Tsubasa Kazanari, the wielder of the Relic Ame no Habakiri fly next to her. Like the others, she too was in her X-Drive mode.
Hibiki nods. "I'm okay."
Tsubasa nods as she and Hibiki fly after the others. In the distance, the two can see their friends battling what looks to be an armored dragon ship.
Suddenly, the ship deploys creatures that look like alarm clock's. Seeing the enemies, Chris waste no time unleashing a continual stream of homing lasers.
MEGA DETH PARTY
The lasers impact with the clock-like creatures and they explode. It seemed to cause a chain reaction though as the group behind them explodes as well. Any that didn't were cut down by either Maria's blade, Kirika's scythe or Shirabe's saw blades.
The dragon ship unleashes a few laser shots at the girls but a blur shoots in front of them and absorbs the lasers with a barrier. The barrier goes down to reveal a silver haired young man with green eyes driving what looks like a hover bike. Alongside him was a slightly younger boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes. Both of them carried an odd-looking sword.
"Thanks, Sora!" Hibiki says. "Riku!"
Riku nods as Sora gives a grin with a thumbs up.
A roar from the dragon ship draws their attention back to the task at hand.
"Let's go!" Riku says.
Sora and the girls all give a shout in agreement as they fly after the dragon ship. While flying, Hibiki couldn't help but think about what led them to their current problem.
{End OST}
It's been a few month's after, what's being called, the Noble Red Incident. The last remnant of the Bavarian Illuminati had been wiped out thanks to the efforts of S.O.N.G. Many lives were lost, including Tsubasa's father/older-half brother, Yatsuhiro Kazanari. Fudo Kazanari, Tsubasa's biological father and co-conspirator with Noble Red had been arrested and is currently in a specialized prison.
The world was safe once again. But at a cost.
The Symphogears that saved the world five times had been damaged. The wielders could no longer hear their songs. It could take years before Elfnein could fix them. Without the Symphogears, the wielders themselves felt that they lost a part of them. Their songs could no longer save anyone.
Currently, the girls were meeting with Genjuro at HQ. Which didn't seem to make sense to them. They were powerless. So what could the commander want? With them are, Miku Kohinata, Hibiki's girlfriend, Elfnein, Shinji Ogawa, Aoi Tomosato and Sakuya Fujitaka.
"Shishō, did something happen?" Hibiki asks. "Why did you call us here?"
Genjuro glances at his co-workers before looking back at the six girls.
"I've talked it over with everyone." Genjuro says. "And we've come to a decision."
Seeing that he has the girls attention, Genjuro offers them a small smile. He then snaps his fingers. A banner suddenly unfurls above the commander with the words "Welcome back". Much to the former wielders confusion.
"We've decided... that the seven of you join S.O.N.G full time!" Genjuro exclaims.
"Congratulations!" The S.O.N.G faculty exclaim.
The former wielders stand dumbfounded at their commanders declaration. Hibiki in particular can't help but remember when she was first asked to join.
"Commander Kazanari, with all due respect, why offer us this opportunity?" Maria asks.
"We ain't exactly useful right now." Chris mutters with a frown.
Genjuro frowns a bit. "While it's true that the Relics have lost their power, you all have proven to be every bit the heroes you are without them."
"Maybe." Shirabe says sullenly. "But still..."
"Having them made things a bit easier dess." Kirika says.
Tsubasa looks towards Elfnein. "Have there been any breakthroughs on repairing the Relics?"
"The damage done to the Relics is extensive." Elfnein says sadly. "The battle with Shem-Ha caused them to go beyond their normal functions."
"You mean Burning X-Drive mode." Maria says.
Burning X-Drive. A form greater than the usual X-Drives. While in Amalgam mode, the wielder explosively detonates their Superb Song phonic gain. During the battle with Shem-Ha, the Relic wielders unlocked that mode, but weren't aware of any adverse effects on their gears.
"I didn't take into account that Amalgam mode could be used to evolve the X-Drives." Elfnein says. "If I did, I would've been able to better regulate the Relics power output." Elfnein bows. "I'm very sorry."
"It's not your fault, Elfnein-chan." Hibiki waves off.
"Regardless, there's plenty of things you all can do without the Relics." Genjuro says. "Though, this is your decision."
The Relic wielders look amongst themselves in thought. Miku looks at her girlfriend in worry. But she also wants to support Hibiki in whatever she chooses.
Unfortunately, it seemed like someone had other plans.
Just before the girls can give their answer, an alarm goes off in the base. Aoi and Sakuya immediately check their monitors.
"What's happening?" Genjuro asks.
"An intruder has been detected inside the HQ!" Sakuya exclaims.
"What?!" Genjuro exclaims in shock.
Sensing something, Ogawa and Tsubasa turns sharply to the front of the command center. Just in time to see a black portal appear. The anomaly catches the others attention as a hooded figure in a black coat walks out of the portal. Said portal disappears after the figure steps out.
All of S.O.N.G stares warily at the new arrival.
"Who is that?" Aoi asks.
"No clue." Sakuya says. "It odd how that hood is hiding their face completely."
"Who are you?" Genjuro asks. "And what do you want?"
The hooded figure says nothing as they lift their hand.
"I have come..." The hooded figure says with a deep voice. He then points at Miku. "...for you."
Hearing the mans announcement puts everyone on edge.
"Why do you want Miku?" Hibiki asks with narrowed eyes.
The mystery man takes a few steps forward. Seemingly ignoring everyone besides his target.
"You have something that may prove useful to our cause." The hooded man says.
Hibiki and the other girls step in front of Miku. Blocking the mystery man's advance.
"Whoever you are, you are not taking Kohinata from us." Tsubasa says.
"That's right!" Chris says while shaking her fist at the hooded man. "So, buzz off!"
The mystery man pauses. After a moment, he snaps his fingers. Suddenly, several strange creatures with thin bodies and large heads appear in a flash of white thorns, surrounding everyone.
"The hell?!" Chris exclaims in shock.
"What are these things?" Shirabe asks warily.
Kirika scrunches her face in disgust. "They're creepy, dess!"
"Noise?" Genjuro asks.
"I don't think so." Elfnein says. "I've never seen anything like them."
Tsubasa glances around, only to discover that the man in the black coat has disappeared!
"Where-" Tsubasa asks.
Tsubasa is interrupted by someone screaming. The blue haired girl, as well as everyone else looks to see that Miku has now vanished!
"Miku!" Hibiki exclaims.
The former Symphogear wielders look back to the front of the command center to find that Miku has been captured by the mystery man!
"Hibiki!" Miku exclaims as she reaches out to her girlfriend.
"Let her go!" Hibiki exclaims.
Hibiki tries to rescue Miku, only to be pushed back by the strange white creatures. The brown-haired girl and her friends can only watch as the mystery man leaves with Miku in another dark portal. As soon as the two vanish, so do the white creatures.
"No..." Hibiki whispers with wide eyes.
Before anyone can despair further, the group is forced to brace themselves as the base begins to rock. An even louder alarm then goes off.
"What now?!" Chris asks angrily.
Aoi looks at her monitor before gasping in horror.
"HQ is... being pulled underwater by a some kind of portal!" Aoi exclaims.
"WHAT?!" The girls and S.O.N.G exclaim.
Kirika glares at Chris. "You just had to say something, dess!"
Outside of S.O.N.G, a black portal can be seen underneath the sub, slowly dragging it under.
"Get us out of here!" Genjuro exclaims.
"We can't!" Sakuya exclaims. "The pull is too strong!"
"The man in the coat must be behind this!" Ogawa says.
As the sub sinks into the portal, everyone is unaware of a light shining on the monitors.
In another location, a man in a robe with his face wrapped in red bandages, save for his right amber colored eye, is seen pressing a button on a computer.
"Did it work?"
The robed man looks behind him to see a man wearing a familiar black coat.
"Yes." The robed man says. "They should be arriving soon."
"Do you really think that they'll help?" The mystery man asks.
"They have no choice." The robed man says. He then turns back to his computer. "After all, the fate of one of their own hangs in the balance."
"Tachibana? Wake up."
"Gawrsh, I hope she's okay."
"Hey, I think she's waking up."
Hibiki groans as she opens her eyes. The first person she's sees being Tsubasa.
"Tsubasa-san?" Hibiki asks in confusion.
"Are you alright?" Tsubasa says.
Hibiki winces as she rubs the back of her head. "My head hurts, but otherwise, I'm okay."
"You had us all worried for a moment."
"Sorry..." Hibiki says.
Hibiki trails off as she finally takes notice that she and Tsubasa aren't alone. Next to the blue haired girl is a boy who looks a few years younger than her with brown spiky hair and blue eyes. The boy's clothes look a little small for him. But it's the boys friends that Hibiki is most shocked about. An anthropomorphic duck and dog. Both wearing clothes.
"Good morning." The dog man says with a wave and a smile.
"Uh... good morning." Hibiki says hesitantly.
"Yeah." Chris says making her presence known. "I had the same reaction."
Tsubasa gives a small smile. "You can relax. They mean us no harm."
"Tsubasa said your name's Hibiki, right?" The boy asks. He then smiles. "I'm Sora."
"Donald Duck." The duck says.
"Nice to meet ya, Hibiki." The dog man says. "I'm Goofy."
Sora holds his hand out to Hibiki. The brown-haired girl stares at him for a moment before taking the boys hand. Sora then helps Hibiki stand before the girl looks around. The groups surroundings resemble a lab of some kind.
"Where are we?" Hibiki asks.
"It appears to be some underground lab." Tsubasa says.
"Senpai and I found these guys asleep in some pods earlier." Chris says while gesturing to Sora and his two friends. "Still, the talking dog and duck is seriously weird."
Goofy tilts his head in confusion while Donald get's angry.
"Hey!" Donald exclaims. "Who are you calling weird?"
"You see any other weirdos around?" Chris asks while getting in Donald face.
Tsubasa pulls Chris and Donald apart. "Calm down you two. We don't need you starting up again."
Chris and Donald glare at each other for a moment before turning away in a huff.
"How exactly did we get here?" Hibiki asks. "Last thing I remember was..."
Hibiki trails off as she recalls what happened earlier. More importantly, that someone close to her was missing.
"Miku!" Hibiki exclaims. "Is she...?"
Tsubasa gives a sad frown while shaking her head, making Hibiki look down in sadness.
Hibiki takes out her damaged Relic. "If only I could hear Gungnir's song."
Chris punches the palm of her hand. "The hooded creep's gonna pay for this."
Tsubasa places a comforting hand on Hibiki's shoulder. "We will rescue her, Tachibana."
"Uh, girls?" Sora says, gaining everyone's attention. He then points behind them. "Your friends are back."
Hibiki and the others look and just as Sora said, Maria, Kirika and Shirabe walk into the room. Oddly enough, Donald hides behind Goofy's leg the second they walk in.
"Glad to see you are awake, Hibiki." Maria says.
Shirabe notices Donald peeking behind Goofy. The dark-haired girl tries to get the ducks attention, but he stays behind the dog man.
"You were really knocked out." Kirika says. "We were worried you wouldn't wake up, dess."
"Sorry." Hibiki says.
Kirika finally takes notice of Shirabe and Donald. The former giving an intense stare at the latter.
"Shirabe, leave him alone." Kirika says with a sigh.
Shirabe pouts but listens to her partner. Much to Donald's relief.
"The minute Shirabe met Donald, she said he was cute and started hugging him like a plushie." Maria says in amusement. "You can guess why he feels uncomfortable around her."
"Looks like you've got a fan, huh Donald?" Sora asks with a grin.
Donald grumbles at Sora's teasing.
"So Maria, what did you find?" Tsubasa asks.
Maria frowns. "As it turns out, we're currently under an old mansion."
"So, this is some kind of secret lab?" Chris asks. "Who did you think lived here?"
"No idea." Maria says with a shake of her head.
"What about the commander and the others?" Tsubasa asks. "Are they here?"
"We looked everywhere in the mansion, but we couldn't find them." Shirabe says sadly.
"All we found upstairs was a white room with a bunch of drawings in it." Kirika says.
Tsubasa folds her arms in thought with a hum.
"What is it, Tsubasa-san?" Hibiki asks.
"If what Sora, Donald and Goofy told us is true, then our situation is more complicated than we thought." Tsubasa says.
Hibiki tilts her head in confusion. "Hm?"
"Right." Tsubasa says in realization. "You were still asleep at the time. Allow me to explain."
What Tsubasa had to say completely shocked Hibiki. Somehow, some way, the girls weren't in Japan anymore. In fact, they weren't even in their own world! And neither were Sora, Donald and Goofy. As it turns out, the trio are a group of heroes who travel worlds. Protecting them and the people from beings called the Heartless, monsters born from the darkness in people's heart's. Though Donald did stress that people aren't supposed to know about the existence of other worlds.
Jiminy Cricket, an actual talking cricket, kept extensive details on Sora's adventures in other worlds in his journal. Their last adventure Sora was the defeat of a man named Ansem. Where they save Kairi, a close friend of Sora's but lost track of their friends Riku and King Mickey. After that, things were fuzzy because the trio had apparently been asleep for a year and have only just woken up. Which would explain why Sora's clothes looked small on him. The only clue the group had about what happened was a message. "Thank Namine." But no one knew who this person was.
Needless to say, Hibiki couldn't believe what she was just told. But at the same time, she had to admit that she and her friends had been in some strange situations as well.
"As I said, our situation has become a lot more difficult." Tsubasa says.
"It could be possible that the commander and the others may be on another world as well." Maria says.
"If that's the case, then we're royally screwed." Chris says with a frown. "We don't even know how we got to this one."
"Then what can we do?" Shirabe asks.
The girls look down sadly in thought. They were in an entirely different world with no knowledge of how they got there or how to leave. Their friends at S.O.N.G could be on another world and Miku is who knows where.
As she thinks to herself, Hibiki looks towards Sora. She then walks towards him before bowing. Much to everyone's shock.
"Sora!" Hibiki says.
"Y-yes?" Sora asks hesitantly.
"Please... can you help us?" Hibiki asks.
Sora looks at Hibiki, still bowing at him, before looking at the other girls. He then looks to Donald and Goofy who nod at him. The brown-haired boy smiles before looking back at Hibiki.
"Okay." Sora says. "We'll help."
Tsubasa and the others gasp as Hibiki looks up and happily grabs Sora's hands.
"Thank you!" Hibiki says.
"You really want to help us?" Kirika asks.
"Sure." Sora says with a smile. "It's no problem."
"We'd be happy to help ya out." Goofy says.
Donald looks pointedly at Shirabe. "As long as someone doesn't try to hug me again."
"Hold up!" Chris says in suspicion as she steps towards Sora. Pushing Hibiki aside. "You got no reason to help us. So why? What's your angle?"
Sora raises an eyebrow in confusion. "Huh? Do I need a reason to help people who need it?"
Chris flinches backwards in shock.
"Oh kami." Chris whispers in horror. "Another Dummy."
Hibiki pouts at Chris' nickname for her.
"At any rate, we appreciate your help." Maria says with a small smile.
The girls nod at Sora, Donald and Goofy who nod back.
"First things first." Tsubasa says. "We need to find out where we are. We can't stay here."
"Recon time, dess!" Kirika says with a fist pump.
And a new adventure begins.
In a strange world, a large castle can be seen hovering over a dark city. A familiar girl with short black hair and green eyes is seen sitting huddled in a jail cell. The girls outfit consists of a sleeveless, purple jacket on top of a white blouse, a purple skort, black arm sleeves white boots with purple heels. She also wears her Relic around her neck.
"Hibiki..." Miku whispers.
