I don't own Kamen Rider W or Symphogear G those belong to the creators. I'm doing this story for fun, not profit.
Kamen Rider W: Music of Memory G
Case 3: Those Who Long for the End, Those Who Challenge the End
After the Terror Dopant had helped Maria and her group, the leader of Museum had brought them to an abandoned hospital that was owned by the Sonozaki to be set to be demolished and replaced with a new building.
The Terror Dopant was guiding them in the hallway to show them their temporary residence and while explaining the details of the building.
"This hospital was set to be demolished a month ago, until I bought it and postponed it off the records of course. Since Dr. Ver was kind enough to inform me that you ladies will be coming soon, I thought it best to prepare. There's a fully stock kitchen, fresh water supply, an independent electricity and gas system, everything you need to make yourselves home as you see fit." The Terror Dopant explained before he turned to Maria's group.
"Thank you, Ryubee-san. This place will do for now." Nastassja told him.
"Please, no need for thanks. Anything to help an old friend." The Terror Dopant stated.
"But don't think this will be a habit." Maria told him.
"Oh Maria, always the strong headed one. But that is fine, I know that working with me is...troubling. But I promise you, if you're ever in need of assistance both Museum and the Sonozaki family will offer our aid." The Terror Dopant told her, and Maria turned away from him.
"Don't mind her, Ryubee-san. You know how prideful Maria can be." Nastassja stated.
"That is fine. In my line of work I'm used to dealing with prideful individuals. But I do hope that you'll keep your girls in line, especially that beast of yours." The Terror Dopant said.
"I assure you, it won't be a problem with me." Nastassja told him.
"We'll see. But anyway, like I said before as long as our agreement stands you'll have the full support of Museum. Until then, I bid you farewell." The Terror Dopant said as he bowed his head before the Terror Field appeared below as he used it to teleport out of the building.
"You could've at least shown him some proper manners, Maria." Nastassja said as she eyed on the user of the black Gungnir.
"I'm sorry, Mom. But you know I can't stand working with that man, him and his family." Maria said.
Nastassja sighs as she turns to her.
"I know this is hard for you. But we need Ryubee-san's resources if we want to make our plan a reality." Nastassja told her.
"I know that…" Maria said as she brought out a Symphogear pendant that was broken in half. "More than anyone."
(Bloody Stream by Coda)
(Instrumental)
Mitsuki and Philip are seen walking together, Mitsuki putting on his hat and Philip closing his book, and they pointed at the screen before the title appears in front of them.
(Shijima no soko kara…)
Mitsuki is in his office going through his case files, before Kanade handed him a cup of coffee that he happily accepted.
(Mezameru sono hashiratachi toki wo koe…)
Philip was having his usual interesting research moment as he was writing on his whiteboards, before he accidentally wrote on Chris's face as she was walking towards him, Philip flinched before Chris slaps on his face. Then images of their friends and allies appeared one at a time.
(Shinku no chishio ga…)
Ryu is seen looking at his Accel Memory before he walks forward.
(Tachiagaru yuuki wo hikiawaseru!)
W, Accel, Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris are seen surrounded by Noise before they turn to each other and nodded before they charge at the Noise battling against them.
(Uketsugu ai wo sadame to yobu nara!)
The mysterious Shroud is seen walking in a dark alley before she turns to the screen showing her white bandage covered face with black sunglasses.
(Hohoemu me de tsugi no te wo…)
The Nephilim is in its cage with Ver looking at with an evil grin before the Nephilim roars. Then images of the Kamen Riders and Symphogear users' enemies appear one at a time, before finally showing Ryubee looking above the Gaia Well.
(Yami wo azamuite setsuna wo kawashite! Yaiba surinuke yatusra no suki wo tsuke!)
Shirabe wearing her black Symphogear armor fires from her head compartments, then to Kirika swinging her scythe around and finally to Maria wielding her lance as she uses her HORIZON†SPEAR attack.
(Tsuranuita omoi ga mirai wo hiraku!)
The three black Symphogear users are standing atop a stone pillar looking down upon W, Accel, Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris as they get ready for battle. Then an image of a younger Maria reaching out to her sister Serena appears, and then shows the present day Maria looking at Airgetlám in sadness before a teardrop falls from her eye and onto the pendent.
(Like a Bloody Storm atsuku Like a Bloody Stone! Ketsumyaku ni kizamareta innen ni…)
W in his Cyclone-Joker Form is seen doing some kicks and punches as he was spinning around, and changes into his Heat-Metal swinging his Metal Shaft around, and soon changes to his Luna-Trigger firing with his Trigger Magnum, and changes to his Fang-Joker attacking with his Arm Saber, and the final spin shows W in a new and unknown form.
(Ukiagaru kienai hokori no kizuna nigirishimete!)
Now both Kamen Riders and Symphogear users alike are seen standing side by side as the Nephilim in its final form looking down at them, as the floating city the Frontier raises to the moon.
In the computer room of the abandoned hospital, Nastassja was reviewing the footage of Hibiki's, Tsubasa's, and Chris' S2CA Triburst.
'By resonating with another's Zessho, not only does Tachibana Hibiki amplify its power, she reduces the stress that occurs between wielder and relic. The Sakurai Theory says that the Zessho unique properties are an extension of the Armed Gear the wielder is holding, but Tachibana Hibiki's Zessho is clearly intended to be used when holding another's hands. This is the biggest reason that the wielders were able to survive, even though the Zessho is capable of crippling the user after being used. The trio of Superb Songs created an explosive growth in phonic gain, which awakened the Nephlim, the giant that fell from the heavens.' Nastassja said in her mind as she brought out an image of a white stone with a red eye in the center of it before the word 'Incubated' appeared in front of it.
Then it changed to a large black monster with red glowing markings around its body, it was trapped in a cage as it was growling.
'The heartbeat of awakening…' Nastassja thought as she stared at the creature.
In the 2nd Division HQ Genjuro and the others were still reviewing the footage of the Black Symphogear users.
"It's been a week since their declaration of war at the concert hall." Sakuya said.
"Yes...It's been a week, with nothing happening." Genjuro said.
"Government sources tell me there have been no shows of force from a terrorist group calling itself Finé, or, indeed, any negotiations at all.
"In other words, we have no idea in the slightest what they want." Genjuro said.
"At first glance, that flashy performance appears only to be intended to let the world know they exist. Thanks to that, 2nd Division was able to respond quickly, but…" Sakuya said.
"If they have some grand plot, this is a strange way to go about it. It might be that's exactly what they intended." Genjuro said.
They soon received a transmission from Ogawa.
"Commander Kazanari." Ogawa said.
"Ogawa? What's going on there?" Genjuro asked.
Ogawa is seen in a Yakuza hideout as several members were pointing their guns at Ogawa, as he was holding an injured yakuza with his arm around his neck as he had his communicator on his ear.
"I've been tracing the trailer we found abandoned near the concert hall." Ogawa explains as one Yakuza was walking towards with a knife in his hand.
"Get him!" He shouted and the sounds of a battle was heard through the transmission and they were no match against Ogawa as he continued to give his report.
"I tracked it back to a construction company, whose books showed large purchases of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and measuring devices from a fictional company." Ogawa told them.
"Medical devices?" Genjuro said as he held his chin.
Ogawa was standing in front of a vault as he opened it and checked the files that were inside, as the remaining Yakuza members that were still standing fall to the floor one at a time.
"It would've been about two months ago. The people here were using it as a form of money laundering, but...don't these records interest you?" Ogawa asked.
Genjuro hummed in thought.
"Sounds like it'll be worth pursuing.
(Meanwhile)
It was another day of school for the Symphogear users and their friends as they were now inside of the new Lydian Academy building.
In Hibiki's class, while everyone else was paying attention to the teacher, Hibiki was in a daze as she was staring through the window as she was still in deep thought of the black Symphogear users and Shirabe's words to her.
'There are two Gungnir Symphogears...Then it makes sense that we'd both have our own reasons to fight.' Hibiki thought before she remembered that time where she and Shirabe exchange words to each other.
"I just want to help people in trouble! That's why…"
"That's what I mean by hypocrisy."
Hibiki sighs as she looks down and Miku notices that as she turns to her.
'The reason I fight...I'm not lying to myself…' Hibiki thought.
"Hibiki! Hibiki!" Miku quietly calls out as their teacher walks towards their desk before she walks in front of them as she is looking at Hibiki.
"Tachibana-san, is something bothering you?" She asked.
"Yeah, something very important…" Hibiki mutters.
"It's fall, right? I'm sure you have many things going on. Things more important than my class, for example." She said which snapped Hibiki out of her slumb as she turned to her.
"Huh?" Hibiki said.
"We've moved to this new building, and we have a festival coming up in three days. Enjoying is enjoying a new life, in a new environment. And you haven't changed a bit. You're always...Always, always, always, always…" She said and Hibiki soon stood up.
"B-But, Sensei, I may not be the most attentive person, but I actually have dear friends that want me not to change." Hibiki stated which only enrages her teacher as she gritted her teeth and growls before she…
"Tachibana-san!" The teacher exclaimed loudly which made Hibiki flinch as she closed her eyes.
"Baka." Miku sighs.
(Meanwhile with Mitsuki)
Mitsuki was doing some paperwork for a case he just finished before he heard the door opening and saw Kanade entering the Agency.
"Hey, Mitsuki." Kanade greeted him.
"Hey, Kanade." Mitsuki greeted her back. "How are Hibiki and the others?"
"Well...they're doing better." Kanade said as she rubs the back of her head.
"I see...Has there been any word of Maria and her little group?" Mitsuki asked.
"No word yet. But the old man is still looking for them, but I doubt they'll be in hiding for long." Kanade said.
"With you on that." Mitsuki said in agreement.
"Anyway, what's wrong with Philip?" Kanade asked as she and Mitsuki turned to the bookworm, who was laying on the bed with one of his hands on his face with a CD of Maria's on his chest as he held it there.
"Oh...Well he's still a little upset about Maria being evil." Mitsuki told her.
"Oh, I see." Kanade nodded in understanding.
"I'm not upset…" Philip stated. "Not in the slightest. I'm just sad...angry, confused, and heart broken...Oh Maria-san why?! Why do you have to break my heart like this?! Why?!"
Mitsuki and Kanade sweatdrop before she notices something on Mitsuki's desk, and it was a new Memory Gadget before she picks it up along with the Giji Memory.
It was colored green and black, and resembles a round speaker with two lights that resembles eyes, and the Giji Memory is the one with a frog on it.
"Hey, is this one of the new Gadgets that Philip was working on?" Kanade asked.
"Yeah, it is." Mitsuki said.
"Cool. What does it do?" Kanade asked as he inserted the Giji Memory into the Gadget, and it transformed into a frog as it jumped out of her hand and onto Mitsuki's desk.
"Hey, is this one of the new Gadgets that Philip was working on?" The Memory Gadget said in Kanade's voice, which surprised her.
"Yeah, it is." It said in Mitsuki's voice this time.
"Cool. What does it do?" It speaks again in Kanade's voice.
"And there's your answer." Mitsuki said as he walked to Kanade's side. "Philip calls it the Frog Pod. Basically, it acts like a sound recording, and can modulate the sound to be anyone's voice."
"Wow, that's pretty cool." Kanade said before the Frog Pod jumped into her hands. "So did you work on that other Gadget yet?"
"Yeah, about that…" Mitsuki said as he rubs the back of his head.
"I'm sorry to say, but no." Philip told her and Kanade and Mitsuki turned to him. "I just lost the effort to do anything after the whole Maria-san incident."
Philip turns to his side to avoid eye contact from Mitsuki and Kanade, who sweat drop by Philip's heartbreak.
"Is he going to be alright?" Kanade asked quietly.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. I'm sure he'll get over his heartbreak in no time. Hopefully." Mitsuki said as he wasn't sure himself.
"Hopefully...Yeah, that's reassuring." Kanade said as she turned to Philip.
Shirabe and Kirika were taking a shower together as Kirika was talking to her friend and partner.
"And what I couldn't believe is that they just poured it on the rice! Isn't that weird? And then…" Kirika said as she turned to Shirabe, and noticed that she was in deep thought.
"Are you still thinking about her?" Kirika asked before they remembered Hibiki's words when they first met.
"If we talk, we can understand each other! We don't have to…"
"I refuse to accept that someone who bears no burdens is a hero that saved humanity." Shirabe said.
"Yeah." Kirika said in agreement. "If there's something you really have to do, you have to bear that burden, even if you know it's wrong…"
Kirika said as she turned off her shower head, while Shirabe punched the wall in anger.
"If she's supposed to save people, then why?" Shirabe said, and Kirika then grabs hold of her hand and interlocks her fingers with Shirabe's and soon holds onto each other's hands.
Maria then walks into the shower room as she walks underneath one of the shower heads before she turns it on to wash off.
"Even so, we must get along with our own sense of what is right. We have no time left for turning back or hesitating." Maria told them.
"Maria…" Shirabe said before they heard the alarm going off.
Then several doors in the hallway begins to close up one at a time. The one responsible for that and the alarms was Nastassja as she pressed a button to lock the observation floor.
Then a screen appeared showing the monster in the cage had broken out of its cage as it was devouring something.
'That is a starvation impulse, spoken of in legend, that will cause it to eat even its own kind...Controlling the Nephilim is beyond human control.' Nastassja thought.
"Please don't think of them as an ancient civilization's legacy, beyond our power to control." Said Dr. Ver as he walks out of the shadows as he heads to Nastassja's side.
"Dr. Ver…" Nastassja greeted the young scientist.
"Even if they are beyond human power to control, if they can be controlled by a hero, isn't that enough?" Dr. Ver asked.
Soon the black Symphogear users fully clothed ran into the room after they heard that alarm.
"Mom! What was that alarm?" Maria asked before she saw Dr. Ver in the room before her and Nastassja turned to them.
"The next flower is still a bud, and must be treated carefully." Dr. Ver told them.
"You were worried about me, huh? But it's okay. The Nephilim was thrashing about, that's all. I lowered the bulkheads and fed it. It should calm itself soon." Nastassja assured them before they felt a shake in the room they were in.
"Mom…" Maria said, not sounding convinced by that.
"The appropriate steps have been taken. It's fine." Nastassja told her.
"More importantly, isn't it time for your inspection?" Dr. Ver asked.
"Frontier is this plan's other critical aspect. I cannot miss the inspection before it's activated, but…" Nastassja said.
"Don't worry about this. While you're gone, I'll get the Nephilim some more food." Dr. Ver said with a smile.
"Very well. I'll have Shirabe and Kirika guard you." Nastassja said.
"I'm not planning on any fights, so I'll be fine. Wouldn't it be better to focus our forces on your side?" Dr. Ver asked.
"Understood. I'll return at the appointed time. Please take care of the rest." She told him before she and the black Symphogear users leave the room as Ver watches them leave.
As they were now gone, Ver then developed a twisted and sinister smile on his face.
'Now, will my prey come for the bait I've laid?' Dr. Ver thought.
(Later)
It was now after school for Lydian Academy as the bell began to ring.
Tsubasa is seen walking down the hallway carrying a bag of supplies in her arms.
But Tsubasa then stops in the hallway and looks at her hand, as she remembers her encounter with the Terror Dopant and the fear of being in his presence. Tsubasa clenches her hand into a fist before she remembers Philip told her and the others about that Dopant.
(Flashback)
Shortly after the Terror Dopant and the black Symphogear users had got away. They soon regroup with Philip, and head back to the Narumi Detective Agency to discuss the said Dopant, and after the others had told the bookworm of what they felt just being near him, he figured out what sort of ability he has.
"Fear?" Tsubasa asked after he said that.
"From what you and the others had told me, this Dopant's ability must be to increase one's fear in being in his presence. Not only that, he must have total mastery of his Gaia Memory if he was able to project that field of energy around us." Philip said.
(End of flashback)
Tsubasa slams her fist onto the wall, in frustration over her weakness against the Terror Dopant. She fought against Noise, Dopants, and evil Kamen Riders from another dimension, but that one Dopant was able to strike true fear into her.
Tsubasa then took a deep breath and breathed out to help calm herself as she had other matters to attend to as she walked to her classroom.
Meanwhile a familiar white hair girl is running in the hallway before she turns and bumps into Tsubasa as they fall to the floor together as the bag Tsubasa was carrying fell out of her arms and the items inside fell out of it.
"I can't say I approve of failure to pay attention when running in the hallways…" Tsubasa said before she turned to the girl who runned into her, and it was Chris wearing the Lydian Academy uniform.
"Ow!" Chris mutters.
Tsubasa soon stands as she picks up the bag she was carrying as she stares at Chris.
"Yukine? What's the hurry?" Tsubasa asked before Chris quickly stood up.
"They...They're chasing me. They're almost here!" Chris told her before she heard footsteps which made her hide behind a wall.
"Nani?" Tsubasa said before she looked and saw the people who were chasing Chris were three other students. "I don't see anyone suspicious."
"Okay…Guess I lost them." Chris said before she sighs relief.
"Who are 'they'?" Tsubasa asked.
"The people in my class, who keep trying to get me involved in this school stuff." Chris said, and Tsubasa smiles at her.
"Yukine-san!" One of Chris' classmates called out as she and the other two looked for her..
"Jeez, where did she go?"
"Those weird Finé guys are running around. We don't have time…" Chris said before she noticed that Tsubasa was picking up the things that fell out of the bag in her arm. "What are you doing?"
"Just what it looks like. Preparing for that 'school stuff' you're about to be involved in." Tsubasa told her as she stood up.
And it wasn't just her, mostly the other students of Lydian Academy were preparing for their annual festival as they made signs and prepared their booths. The name of their festival is, Fall Cherry Blossom Fair.
"I guess I'll have you help me, as well, Yukine." Tsubasa said.
"Why?" Chris asked.
"When you head back, they'll make you do it, anyway. So you can help me a little, right?" Tsubasa asked.
Chris blinks before she grits her teeth.
They soon arrived at Tsubasa's classroom, where she and Chris were making paper flowers and rings with the supplies the blue-haired idol was carrying.
"You still aren't used to this lifestyle?" Tsubasa asked.
"I don't want to hear it from someone who isn't used to it at all." Chris said.
"But wasn't Philip the one who convinced you to do this?" Tsubasa asks, and Chris flinches before she grumbles as she remembers why she went to this school in the first place.
(Flashback months ago)
After the Kadingir incident, Mitsuki and Philip offered Chris to stay with them at the Narumi Detective Agency until she can find her own place, and she gratefully accepted.
After a few weeks Genjuro arrived to give Chris an offer to go to Lydian.
"Huh? Me, go to Lydian?" Chris asked.
"That's right. I figured it will be the perfect place for you, especially since you'll be with Hibiki-kun and the others will be there." Genjuro said.
"Forget it! Besides why should I?" Chris said as she folded her arms and turned away from him.
Genjuro sighed as he placed his hand on his head.
"Oh come on, Chris-chan, don't be like that. I agree with Genjuro-san about this. This might be the perfect chance for you to enjoy a normal school life and to make more friends your age." Philip told her.
"Philip's right, and besides you can't exactly spend everyday here." Mitsuki told her.
"Still no." Chris told them.
Chris then notices that Philip was grabbing hold of her hand, which causes her to blush.
"Chris-chan, come on, don't be stubborn about this. At least try out and see if it suits you. Please, for me." Philip requested.
Chris thinks about as she averted eye contact with Philip, before she sighs in defeat.
"Alright...I'll do it…" Chris said and Philip smiled to hear that.
"Now that's what I wanted to hear." Philip said.
(End of flashback)
"S-S-Shut up! What would you know anyway?" Chris mutters as she averted eye contact.
"That's true." Tsubasa said with a smile. "But you know, Yukine…"
"Oh, Tsubasa-san! There you are." Tsubasa and Chris looked and saw her classmates by the door. "You went to get supplies and didn't return, so everyone's been looking for you."
"But I guess we shouldn't have worried." One of them stated as she and the others walked towards Tsubasa and Chris. "You have a cute underclassman with you."
"I thought you'd all gone home already." Tsubasa said.
"Well, you seem to think it's your fault that preparations for the school fair are behind."
"So we want to help!"
"You want to help?" Tsubasa repeated while Chris had a sly smile before she turned to her.
"Hey, you're pretty popular!" Chris said with a teasing tone.
Then Tsubasa's classmates helped her and Chris out of making the paper flowers and rings.
"But it's true that you used to be a little tough to approach…"
"That's right. 'The solitary diva' sounds cool, but…"
"But at first, it seemed like you were part of a different world."
"Well, she's a celebrity and a top artist."
"But you know…"
"Yeah." She nodded.
"When we actually talked to you, we realized you're just like us!"
"Everyone…" Tsubasa said as she felt a little humble to hear that.
"Especially lately."
Tsubasa smiles before Chris turns to her.
"Heh, you're getting along well!" Chris said as she turned away from her and leaned on her hand.
"I'm sorry. Did that upset you?" Tsubasa asked in worry.
"Who knows." Chris said before she remembers how Philip helped her open up to their friends, how he helped her in picking out her school supplies, and the smile he gave her after she showed him wearing her uniform. "But maybe I should try a little harder, too…"
Tsubasa smiles at her.
"I see." Tsubasa said.
"Let's do a little more work, okay?"
"Right, let's finish this up!" She said as they continue to make their paper decorations.
(Later at night)
It was now midnight in the city of Fuuto. Mitsuki, Philip, and their friends had gotten a call from Genjuro saying he found a possible lead of the black Symphogear users' and their allies' base of operations.
They soon arrived at the abandoned hospital with Mitsuki as W, as he, Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris were hiding behind a wall as Genjuro was giving them a rundown of their plan.
"Listen, be ready to end this tonight!" Genjuro told them through Tsubasa's communicator.
"I'm sorry to make you come out this late on a school night." Ogawa told them.
"Don't worry about it. As protectors, this is our job." Tsubasa told him.
"I can't believe they were hiding just outside town…" Hibiki said.
"Yeah, they even gave me the slip. Even though this city's my garden." W-Mitsuki said.
"But this is the perfect hiding spot…" W-Philip sighed. "This hospital was shut down a long time ago, and it was soon bought by a major company or something…"
"Philip's right, and it looks like they've been bringing in supplies, bit by bit, for the past two months. But I hate to say that, at the moment, that's all the information we have."
"I have a gut feeling that Museum must have been the ones that gave this place to them." W-Mitsuki said.
"Agreed…" W-Philip said.
"If they won't come out of their hole, we'll just have to drag them out!" Chris said before they runned into the abandoned hospital.
(At 2nd Division HQ)
Genjuro and the other members of the 2nd Division were monitoring W and the three Symphogear users as they entered the building.
"The Symphogear-wielders and Kamen Rider are heading inside the building." Aoi said.
(Meanwhile)
As W and the three Symphogear users were running through the hallway, Dr. Ver was watching them through the security cameras.
"Let's give them a warm welcome." He said before he pressed a button on his keyboard.
As he was running with his friends, W-Philip sighs as he doesn't want to be here.
'Mitsuki, do I really have to be here?' W-Philip asked.
'Yes. Philip, I know you're still heartbroken about the whole Maria thing, but you need to snap out of it and get your head in the game.' W-Mitsuki told him.
'Well technically I'm in your head. But alright, it's not like I have anything better to do.' W-Philip said as he sighs.
W and the three Symphogear users stopped running as they saw red gas shooting out of the vents. They manage to keep a safe distance from the gas in case it was harmful.
"It sure feels like an abandoned hospital, doesn't it?" Hibiki asked.
"Yeah, this is almost like a horror movie." W-Mitsuki nodded in agreement.
"What, are you two scared?" Chris asked.
"Oh please. A Hardboiled guy like me doesn't know the meaning of fear." W-Mitsuki said.
"That isn't it!" Hibiki said as she turned to her. "The air just feels heavy…"
"They're coming after us surprisingly quickly." Tsubasa said before she saw several Noises marching towards them.
"Killiter Ichaival tron." Chris sings as she changes into her Symphogear armor and ends with a finger pistol. "Bang!"
Then the waves of her armor affected the Noises as they changed color.
Chris soon brings out her crossbows as they transform into gatling guns as she sings.
(Cue: Bye-Bye Lullaby)
Chris soon fired her guns at the Noise destroying them.
BILLION MAIDEN
Tsubasa and Hibiki changed into their armor as they and W jumped to her side.
As the survivor Noise was still heading towards several more had started to appear behind them in a green light.
"Did you girls see that?" W-Mitsuki asked as he saw that light and Hibiki nodded.
"I knew it. These Noise…" Hibiki said.
"Yeah, they're being controlled." Tsubasa said.
"By Solomon's Cane, no doubt." W-Philip said before they all charged at the Noise.
"Tachibana, cover Yukine! Make sure they don't get near her!" Tsubasa told her.
"Right!" Hibiki said as she jumped ahead.
Chris changes her gun back into crossbows as she fires at the Noise around, Tsubasa slashes them with her sword, W kicks and punches the Noise around them, while Hibiki lands an enhanced punch on one Noise in front of her.
Chris fired over hundreds of energy arrows at the Noise destroying them, but to her shock the Noise she shot begins to self-regenerate as they slowly stand back up.
Hibiki punches at one of them, and while that Noise stumbles back it soon stops as it heals itself which was much to their shock.
Tsubasa soon enlarges her sword and sends her Azure Flash at them.
Azure Flash
The attack destroyed three Noises but they quickly regenerated themselves, much to the sword-wielder's shock.
"What the hell?" W-Mitsuki gasped in shock at what he was seeing before he kicked at one Noise that was behind him. "Philip, something is wrong here."
"Agreed. Normally the girls would take the Noise out no problem. Just what is going on?" W-Philip said in worry before he punched at one Noise that was going to attack him.
A few of the Noises dash towards Hibiki to attack, and Hibiki punches them down before she jumps to Chris' back, but the moment she lands she begins to pant.
Tsubasa and Chris were panting as well as the Noise began to surround them.
(End of song)
"Why is this so hard?" Chris said.
"Our Gear output is dropping!" Tsubasa said in realization.
"What but how?" W-Mitsuki said.
W-Philip then realizes something before he looks at the red gas that was still in the hallway.
"Of course! Girls it's the gas, it's somehow weakening you! Don't breathe it in!" W-Philip told them.
"What?" Tsubasa said before she dodges an attack from a Noise.
"That's a little easier said than done." Chris said as she fired at a few Noise.
"Just get behind me!" W said as he runs in front of his friends as he removes his Gaia Memories and brings out his Luna and Trigger Memories.
LUNA
TRIGGER
W then inserted the Gaia Memories into his Driver.
LUNA-TRIGGER
W changed into his Luna-Trigger form as he pulled out his Trigger Magnum and soon inserted his Trigger Memory into the Maximum Drive slot on his gun.
TRIGGER: MAXIMUM DRIVE
W pointed his Magnum at the Noise as it charged with energy.
"Trigger Full Burst!" W said as he fired several energy bullets at the rest of the Noise destroying them.
W twirled his Magnum around before he pointed it upward.
"Thanks, you two." Hibiki said and W turned to her.
"No problem. What would you do without us." W said.
Hibiki then noticed something heading towards them as it was going to attack W from behind.
"Look out!" Hibiki said as she runs and punches the creature away as it lands on the ceiling.
It was the monster that Ver and Nastassja called the Nephilim.
Then the Nephilim jumps at them, and Tsubasa slashes it with her sword and the monster is sent flying backwards before it falls on the floor but Tsubasa's sword has bounced off of its body.
"We hit that thing with an Armed Gear!" Chris said.
"Why isn't the carbon shattering?" Tsubasa said as the Nephilim slowly stood back up.
"Is it not a Noise?" Hibiki said.
"That does seem like the most possible answer." W-Philp said as he pointed his Magnum at the Nephilim.
"Then what is that monster?" Chris asked.
They then heard clapping from afar, they looked and saw that it was Dr. Ver who was clapping and the three Symphogear users gasped as they saw his face.
"Dr. Ver?" Chris said.
"Ver?" W-Philip repeated.
"So that's him?" W-Mitsuki said.
Then the Nephilim walks into a small cage before it closes.
"You're smarter than I thought." Dr. Ver said.
"But you disappeared during the attack on the Iwakuni base!" Hibiki said.
"Then all the Noise attacking…" Chris said as she realized what was going on here.
"I see now, so you were the one who was controlling them." W said.
"Guilty as charged. To tell the truth, it was a simple trick. When you last saw me, the Staff of Solomon wasn't even in the case. It was hidden inside of my coat." Dr. Ver told them with a smile.
"Then you controlled the Noise and pretended that they were attacking you, so you could steal the Staff of Solomon?" Tsubasa said in realization.
Then Dr. Ver brought out and showed the Staff in his hand.
"This staff is the only thing capable of summoning the Noise from the Treasury of Babylona and controlling them." Ver said as he uses the Staff to summon a few more Noises.
The Nephilim begins to growl in its cage.
"And I am the only one who is fit to wield it. Don't you think?" Dr. Ver asked as his eyes widened.
Chris gritted her teeth. "Hell, no!"
Dr. Ver then commanded the Noise to slowly march towards them.
Chris soon brings out her small missiles but the moment she did that she felt her output getting weaker, but still fired her missiles at the Noise, but doing that weakens Chris again as she screams in pain.
"Chris-chan!" W-Philip said in worry before the missiles exploded in the hallway and it destroyed most of the building they were in.
In the 2nd Division HQ, Genjuro and the others saw that Hibiki's, Tsubasa's, and Chris' Gear output was dropping again.
"Compatibility values are dropping, and the Gear-backfire is devouring the wielders!" Aoi said.
The Noise had protected Dr. Ver from the explosion as they formed a ball around them before they turned to ash. W and his friends walked out of the building with the dual-theme Rider was carrying Chris with her arm on his shoulders.
"Damn it...Why am I the one who's taking damage?" Chris said.
"Chris-chan, you can't overexert yourself like that." W-Philip told her.
'If we use our powerful attacks in this situation, the backfire could kill us in the worst case.' Tsubasa thought.
They then saw a flying-type Noise leaving the area while carrying the Nephilim with it.
"The Noise is taking that cage away?!" Hibiki said.
"Guess whatever that thing is must be important enough that, Ver, can't risk it falling into enemy hands." W-Mitsuki concluded.
'Now that I'm not carrying so much, I'd love to get some more data…' Ver thought as he turns to W and the Symphogear users, and Hibiki does her combat stance as W gently places Chris on the ground to rest.
Dr. Ver smirks before he raises his hands to surrender.
"Tachibana, capture him! And take care of Yukine!" Tsubasa said as she turned to W. "W…"
"No need to say it. I'm already on it." W said as he brought out his Stag Phone to call for his RevolGarry, and it soon appeared as it drove and stopped by to them.
Then the Garry opens up as it changes the HardBoilder to the HardTurbuler, and soon W and Tsubasa get on and they fly into the air and chase after the Noise.
(Cue: Gekko No Tsurugi)
W and Tsubasa continue to chase after the escaping Noise and Nephilim, as they head to the ocean.
"So they're escaping to the sea. Get any ideas, Tsubasa?" W-Mitsuki asked.
"Just one. Just get me close to it, and I'll slash the Noise while you get the cage." Tsubasa told him.
"Can you even make it in your condition?" W-Philip asked, and Tsubasa smirks.
"Please, don't insult me." Tsubasa told him.
"Alright, you pop the balloon, we'll grab the prize." W said as he twisted the handles on his bike to drive faster to the Noise.
When they close enough Tsubasa jumps at the Noise and manages to slash on the flying-type Noise destroying as the cage falls to the ocean below.
"You're mine!" W said as he uses his Luna arm to stretch out to grab the cage, and just when his arm was inches away…
(End of song)
A black spear was hurling at him and hit him sending off of his bike and falling to the ocean below.
"W!" Tsubasa said in worry before the same spear hit her as well, sending her to the ocean.
Then the tip of that very spear levitates above the ocean while W and Tsubasa falls into it.
"Tsubasa-san? Mitsuki? Philip-kun?" Hibiki said in worry as she, Chris, and Dr. Ver had arrived as they were now standing on top of a bridge under construction as she was holding Ver's arm on his back to restrain him.
They then saw Maria wearing her black Symphogear armor landing on top of her spear before she caught the cage as it was heading towards her.
"That's…" Chris said as the sun began to rise behind Maria.
"Right on time, Finé." Dr. Ver said which surprised both Hibiki and Chris.
"Finé?" Chris said.
"The name which signifies the end is the symbol of our organization, and also her second name." Dr. Ver told them.
"No way...Then she's…" Hibiki mutters in realization of who Maria actually is.
"The newly awakened second coming of Finé!" Ver declared to them.
Maria lifts up her head to face her enemies.
