Opening 1- Stare At The Sun

Author's Notes(A/N): Hello everyone! I sincerely apologize for forgetting to upload this to you guys! As the title of this chapter suggests, this is the opening for this arc. This is intended solely as a fun addition to my story. My goal for the openings and endings is to have a song that accompanies a description of the visuals that would be displayed during a specific segment of the song. I will do my best to describe the visuals without being overly detailed, but it may require you to let your imagination run wild. Of course, you can just listen to the song. Ending 1 will be posted alongside this and Chapter 7 RW. But I think I've rambled enough. I hope you all enjoy! (Note: All these songs can be found on YouTube.)

Song: Thrice - Stare At The Sun

[0:00 - 0:11]

With each chord played.

In the darkness, the outline of three figures of various heights appear.

Spaced out in the shape of a right triangle

A light turns on above the figure standing on point B, revealing Bell.

He is wearing his non-combat attire. Jacket included.

His arms are at his side, and his eyes are closed.

He is facing left.

A second light turns on above the figure standing on point C, revealing Ais.

She is wearing her civilian attire (the one with her back exposed).

Her arms are at her side, and her eyes are closed.

She is facing right, her back to Bell's.

A third light turns on above the figure standing on point A, revealing Wanderer.

He is wearing his black robe.

His hands are resting on his cane.

His back is facing Bell's and Ais's.

[0:12 - 0:21]

Bell's face takes up the screen.

His eyes snap open.

He begins sprinting at full speed.

His back is facing the screen.

Five pillars of increasing height and increasing space apart manifest before him.

The largest pillar has a flower leaning away from him.

Bell sprints up four of the pillars.

He almost stumbles on the fourth one.

On the fourth pillar, he steps back and charges Arognaut in his foot.

He launches himself at the fifth tower

He reaches out his hand as he approaches it

The flower leans towards him, uncovering the sun.

The sun's light makes everything go white.

[0:22 - 0:32]

The screen is split into two.

In the top left corner, Bell shares a moment with Hestia Familia (including Ryuu).

They are huddled around the living room.

Haruhime is placing down a tray with some drinks on it.

The rest of the screen is Bell walking through Orario with his back turned to it.

[0:33 - 0:41]

The screen reorganizes itself.

The bottom right corner is Bell continuing to walk with his back turned to the screen.

The rest of the screen is focused on Bell's face.

The right side of his face is covered by a mask(no eye holes).

The left side of his face is bare.

His eye sharpens

He sneers

[0:42 - 1:02]

He cuts down a volley of arrows flying toward him.

One is cut down the shaft.

Several are sidestepped.

A few are blocked.

He dodges a black magic beam and fires his own back.

He braces his arm to fire magic at a volley of arrows encroaching on him.

This carries on while a finger is pointed at him from a rooftop.

[1:03 - 1:15]

A malicious grin from the person who pointed the finger fills the screen before it fades to black.

Amid the darkness, a silver and golden eye open.

The golden eye turns into a pair, with Ospin flying at the screen.

[1:16 - 1:25]

Masked Bell is continuing to walk through Orario

It is now night.

Ospin now accompanies him.

The golden eagle flies near the rooftops

[1:26 - 1:35]

Unmasked Bell stands idle.

A lightning strike causes it to rain.

His eyes filled with a fire.

His hands clenched into fists.

[1:36 - 1:56]

He shouts and turns to charge at Wanderer.

He launches a flurry of attacks with the Hestia Knife.

None come close to connecting.

He gets launched back by Wanderer, hitting him in the chest with the head of his cane.

He fires a firebolt while recovering.

Wanderer crushes it in his left hand.

Bell recovers into a backflip and charges once his feet touch the ground.

Wanderer sidesteps his attack

Bell fires a firebolt behind him to send him forward.

He clashes with the cane, and sparks fly out.

[1:57 - 2:21]

Masked Bell and Ospin arrive at a location.

Wanderer was waiting for them.

Bell dons his dungeon attire and has both of his blades with him.

The three head to the dungeon's entrance before Bell cuts down arrows fired at random people.

Wanderer does the same shortly after.

Ospin moves two adventurers out of the way of magic fired at them.

[2:22 - 2:37]

Hestia Familia is fighting with a few dark elves.

Loki Familia executives are clashing with several more

Ais is fighting alongside masked Bell

[2:38 - 2:59]

Ais activates her winds

Bell charges Argonaut in both of his hands.

The fire in his eyes is white hot, and his falna is glowing.

Both point their weapon(s) at a dark elf with a green helmet and a rapier.

The dark elf sneers

They charge at one another.

[3:00 - End]

On a black background.

On the left side

Bell appears. Followed by his familia soon after.

Ais appears. The Loki executives soon after

On the right side.

The dark elf with a green helmet and a rapier appears with four others. Each wields different weapons.

One wields dual sickle swords and a bow on his back.

One wields a scythe with a long spike at the bottom.

One wields a massive glaive.

One wields two double-bladed swords.

In the middle.

Wanderer appears before fading back into darkness.

He opens his right eye, and a silver gleam illuminates everything.

Yes, I wanted this song because of Sonic RPG 5. Yes, I grew up in the mid-2000s. And yes, there will be more sonic influences later on(fanmade and official).
