The Durandal
The morning has come, and Miku start to wake up. She open her eyes and saw the Hibiki isn't at next to her.
She sit up and try to find her but Hibiki is no where to be seen. Then she saw a note.
I'm skipping school. Training.
Miku: What's this?
After the bright morning, Hibiki is training with punching bag while Kanade and Raiga is watching her.
Kanade: Are you sure you didn't have to go to work?
Raiga: Of course. Senpai got me covered.
Hiroto: Oh yeah?
Kanade/Raiga: Aaaaaaaaahhh!!
They saw Hiroto in his hoodie cover his head while drinking box of milk.
Kanade: How did you even drink that much?
Hiroto: If you want have great calcium, drink it.
Raiga: Senpai, we're not kids anymore. Why are you drinking that?
Hiroto glare at both of them making Kanade and Raiga shiver in fear.
Raiga: Never mind!
Back at the training, Hibiki still punching the bag. Raiga felt a bit shiver at his body.
Raiga: Weird, I felt like someone is talking about killing me.
Kanade: I bet Hiroto will kill you when he found you.
Raiga: *shivering* Don't say that, Kanade-san!
Genjuro: Stop! Stop! It's not like that!
Hibiki look at Genjuro.
Genjuro: Do it like you're eating lighting and crapping thunder!
Hibiki: I have no idea what you're saying! But I'll do my best!
Hiroto: He said you need to focus your energy in one point and then release it at all your might.
Hibiki: Oh... Okay!
As she focus on the punching bag, her heart beat and she punch the bag really hard until it crash into the pool and the fish jump out of it.
Raiga and GZ really didn't expect Hibiki is now that strong. They trying to imagine if they make Hibiki get mad.
Raiga: I don't want to make her mad anymore.
GZ: She's even worse than before. I like her!
Raiga: Geez...
Hiroto: I like Hibiki now. She's even more than this.
Kanade: Same as you are.
KZ: Me three.
Raiga: Why does no one never agrees with me?
Hiroto/Kanade/KZ/GZ: No one care about that.
It makes Raiga anime flinched and look down to the ground.
Raiga(In mind): I can't believe it...
Genjuro: It's look like Hibiki has been a good girl. And Hiroto, Raiga, come here.
Hiroto finish his milk and throw away the box. Raiga just walk in silent because he is frustrated.
Hiroto: What do you want?
Raiga: I'm losing myself...
Genjuro: I want to see how good you two are when not using your armor.
Hiroto: Okay.
Raiga: No.
Genjuro: Then hit this tree.
Raiga: What?
Genjuro: Hit the tree.
Raiga: Fine...
He went to the tree and just hit it with no strength. Then he walk back to Kanade and Hibiki as he just lump down on the ground.
Hibiki: What's with him?
Kanade: You don't wanna know.
Genjuro: Hiroto, it's your turn.
Hiroto: Okay.
He went to the in front of the tree and just stare at it. He imagine the tree is something he really hate.
Hiroto: I hate this tree.
He do the roundhouse kick and the tree breaked from the trunk flying away from the training house. They all just stare in suprised that tree just fly away.
Hiroto: Done.
Genjuro: That was... the most incredible so super strength I've ever seen.
Hiroto: That is what you got after training for a long time. And as well as good connection when ZECT.
Genjuro: What kind of connection you have with ZECT?
Hiroto: You can say my big brother work there. And it's not like he cares about me.
He walk away from the training house while looking down. Genjuro look at the group.
Genjuro: What did he mean by that?
Then Raiga who is still frustrated answer the question.
Raiga: Senpai, big brother is busy too much as a Kamen Rider in ZECT until he has no time to be with Hiroto. He keep his ZECT life away from Hiroto.
Genjuro: I see.
Hibiki: So that is why Hiroto sometimes like that.
Kanade: But who is the person who is person Hiroto hate most?
Genjuro: I'm afraid only he can told us that.
(Time Skip)
Hiroto went to the flower shop and buy a bouqect of blue tulips. He went to the hospital.
As he walk into the Tsubasa's room, she saw her place was a mess as Tsubasa is just sitting on her bed.
Tsubasa: H-Hiroto! What?! When?! Huh?!
Hiroto: I just come to visit you and this is how you are. You truly are the most childish teenage girl I've ever met.
Tsubasa *blushing embarrassly* Hiroto!!
He help her clean up the place and arrange all the stuff in her room. Tsubasa just sit there and blushing because a boy had to clean her room for her.
Tsubasa: You know, you didn't really have to help clean this up. I can--
Hiroto: ...Do it by yourself. And yet you didn't.
Tsubasa: Th-That is how I do it!
Hiroto: Tsubasa, how long have you become a blade after Kanade is no longer your partner?
Tsubasa: Huh?
Hiroto: Why did you even mad that she can't be your partner anymore? She can do other million things with you other than that.
Tsubasa: Th-That's...
Hiroto: Forget it. And this for you.
He went to the table and there's a vase on it. He remove the old flowers and put new ones in it.
Tsubasa: You bought that... for me?
Hiroto: Then who is for? Your grandmother?
Tsubasa: Why do you keep teasing me?!
Hiroto: Tendou Souji once said, "Smile is the most excellent way to say hi."
Tsubasa: What?
Hiroto: You're uncle didn't teach you how to smile?
Tsubasa: I've been smiling!
Hiroto: In those past two years, you just do fake smile. Show me your real smile!
Tsubasa: Hiroto...
Hiroto: I'll be visiting you later. I can contact with some people I know that might help us.
Tsubasa: The one from ZECT? But said they trying to take over the world!
Hiroto: You think all of them are bad?
He stand up from his seat.
Hiroto: Before I leave...
He flick Tsubasa's forehead causing her to blush, again. He walk to the door and grab the handle as he look to Tsubasa before leaving.
Hiroto: Don't push yourself too much. You need a lot of rest. See ya, childish girl.
He walk outside and close the door. Tsubasa just look at the door while she was stun. She move from the bed and walk to the window and saw Hiroto is walking out of the hospital.
Hiroto sense something and he look up. He saw Tsubasa look at her as she get back on her bed. Tsubasa put her hands at her chest as she feel that her heart is beating faster.
Tsubasa: Why my heart beating s fast? And why did I keep blushing when I close to him?!
As she think about it, there is something she forgot to ask Hiroto.
Tsubasa: Oh no! I forget to ask him about his wound from before!!
Meanwhile, at other place, in a huge mansion next to a lake. A woman is sitting on a throne like chair speaking through the phone with someone in America. The woman is Finé.
She is the woman who make the mysterious girl able to use the Nehushtan's armor, and girl name is Yukine Chris, and Finé is the one that gave Sting the Henshin Brace and TheBee Zecter.
Finé: Vulgar simpelton.
She walk through room to the electric torture machine where she held Chris.
Finé: There's no need to such lowlife that Solomon's Cane is already active, there is, Chris?
Chris is sweating all over her body because she is tortured for failing her mission to kidnap Hibiki.
Finé: Does it hurt? How pitiful. It's because you keep hesitating. All you need to do is to lure that girl out and bring her here. Not only you hesitate, you also coming back empty-handed.
Chris: I just need to do it, right?
Finé: What?
Chris: You'll grant my wish if I do what you says, right?
Finé: That's right. So you need to accept all of me. Otherwise, I'll stop liking you.
She activate the machine and Chris cries in pain.
Finé: You're so cute, Chris. I'm the only one that can love you.
She stop the machine and hug Chris.
Finé: Never forget this, Chris. Pain is the only thing in the world that can truly form bond between people.
She activate the machine again making Chris cries in pain even harder. After she turn off the machine, Chris fall unconcious.
Finé: You're too weak, Chris. I disappointed with you. And you...
She turn around only to see Sting is kneeling down before her. He is a bit hesitate when Finé right in front of him.
Finé: I want to know what you have for me.
Sting: Finé-sama, I have information about the Riders that are siding with the enemy.
Finé went to her sit and then cross her leg. She look closely at Sting.
Finé: So tell me, how dangerous is this... Kabuto and Gatack?
Sting: Gatack seems only taking orders from Kabuto and he always tries to protect his friends. While Kabuto...
Finé: Kabuto is what?
Sting: Kabuto is extremely dangerous. When I said I laugh at him and his friends, he just smack me bruttaly. It's like when he gets angry he became more powerful than before. He also able to hold me attack.
Finé: I see. Then--
Sting: I'm sorry to interrupt milady, but let me handle Kabuto. He'll be dead by my stinger.
Finé: Very well. But remember, I only except success.
Sting: As you command.
2nd Division
As the training, Hibiki lump herself on the couch because of tiredness.
Hibiki: The training this training was so tough!
Genjuro: Keep on the work, future champ.
Kanade: You just getting stronger, Hibiki. Here, have a drink.
Hibiki: Wow, thank you!
She snag the bottle and drink the water from it.
Hibiki: Sorry for asking this after deciding to do it myself, but are there really no weapons to fight the Noise that don't require the help of young high school girls? Maybe something from aboard?
Genjuro: Nothing official. Symphogear is a top secret government project. It's completely classified.
Hibiki: I guess I've been fighting without being too mindful of that.
Genjuro: But we have now.
Hibiki: Huh?
Kanade: Hibiki, didn't you know that ZECT weapons can harm the Worm as well as the Noise?
Hibiki: ZECT weapons? Ah! The one that Hiroto and Raiga used before!
Genjuro: That's right. Because of Hiroto's connectiom with ZECT, he able provide us with ZECTrooper gear that allow our agents to deal with the Noise without any of you.
Then they explain about why the Symphogear technology is being hidden from the world. Some country that can't make this technology maybe want it so much as a weapon.
Hibiki: So basically, you mean things are really complicated.
Hiroto: Same as ZECT technology, they are hidden. ZECT are extremely secretive than this place, I think.
Hibiki: By the way, Shishou, where is Ryoko-san?
Raiga: Right, I haven't see her this morning.
Genjuro: She went to the government building.
Hibiki: Government building?
Genjuro: She was called in by some big shot. She's required to report the status of our security and defense systems to the relevant officials. Somebody's gotta do it.
Hibiki: So many complicated things.
Genjuro: The people who make it so complicated is always those who want to keep their status without taking any responsibility, but Hiroki, the Minister of Defense, is actually...
He look at his watch.
Genjuro: Shouldn't Ryoko be back right now?
Hiroto: Who knows. She's busy woman in her life.
Raiga: Woman are so complicated.
Kanade: What was that?
Raiga: Nothing!
Genjuro: By the way, Hiroto, beside you, Raiga and TheBee, who else has the ability to Clock Up?
Hiroto: Beside us and TheBee, there's Drake, Sasword, Hoppers, Hercus, Ketaros and Caucasus...
Hibiki: There's so many...
Kanade: ZECT made all that?
Raiga: Yeah. All of them are based on insect. Except for Sasword, he's a scorpion.
Hiroto: Anyway, there is something I want to tell you guys later. But not now because it's not a good timing.
At the evening sky, as the Minister's car is blocked inside a tunnel. All of the Minister's man was killed including his secretary, Hiroki look outside and saw many men with weapons. It's clearly they aren't friendly. Then Hiroki was killed.
Unknown to the people, there is someone watching them from distance. The guy is holding a guitar case with many stickers with special artist clothes.
???: It's look like those guys just make a big mistake.
He hold up his finger and a mechanical light blue dragonfly land on his finger.
???: Yaguruma, might like this information. The art of world will start soon.
(Time Skip)
Everyone is 2nd Division suprised after knowing about the shocking news.
Ryoko: I'm sorry for making you wait for so long!
Genjuro: Ryoko?
Ryoko: What? Did you miss me that much?
Hiroto: Not that. We have an extremely bad news.
Genjuro: Minister of Defense, Hiroki was asassinated.
Ryoko: What? Really?
Genjuro: Several revolutionary group has taken responsibility, but we still have no concrete information. We're putting all our resources to this investigation.
Hibiki: We couldn't get in touch with you, so everyone was worried!
Ryoko check her phone and it didn't give any response. It's clearly her phone was broken.
Ryoko: Looks like it's broken.
Then Hiroto's phone ringing. He take it out and answer the call.
Hiroto: I don't have time for your playing--
???(Phone): Let's forget our rivalry first.
Hiroto: *sigh* Okay, fine. What do you want?
???(Phone): Yaguruma, the Minister of Defense was asassinated, right?
Hiroto: How do you know that?
???(Phone): I saw he was killed by several men. And it's clear they likely Americans. That's all I got.
Hiroto: Thanks for that intel.
???(Phone): Next time we meet, I'll--
Then Hiroto hung up on purpose because he don't want his rival to finish that sentence.
Raiga: What's wrong, Senpai?
Hiroto: It's the American. They are the one that cause this.
All of them were suprised.
Genjuro: How do you know that?!
Hiroto: Kazama told me.
Raiga: Keisuke did? Aren't you guys rivals? You end up fighting every time you meet since they guy chose him to be his user.
Hiroto: Whatever. But it doesn't mean we can blame them. They might denied the attack.
Genjuro: You're right. They might do that.
Ryoko: But thanks for worrying me. Also...
Then Ryoko put down the case she bring and open it, showing a microcip like device.
Ryoko: The classified from the government are safe. Making this mission a success is the best way to send Mr. Hiroki to the afterlife.
Hiroto(In mind): Weird... only the Minister get hold of the case. How did even Ryoko get it?
Unknown to any of them, there's a bit of blood at the back of the case.
After that, they are given briefing about the Sacrist D, the Durandal. They want to transport it somewhere else safer thant the 2nd Division. They'll transport the Durandal tomorrow at 0500 hours.
At the dorm, Miku is scolding Hibiki for what she did today.
Miku: Where have you been all this day? You can't just say you're going to "train" and then disappear.
Hibiki: Well, I was with Hiroto and Raiga...
Miku: Hiroto and Raiga? What are you doing with them?
Hibiki: Um, well, that's...
Miku: I want real explanation.
Hibiki: Oh, sorry, gotta run!
She run to the door and went out.
Miku: She didn't even let me worry about her?
Back at 2nd Division, Hiroto, Raiga and Hibiki are waiting for the preparation to complete so they can go and transport the Durandal to safer place.
Then outside, they are standing in a line where Genjuro gives another briefing. Some agents wear the ZECTrooper uniform with the guns.
Genjuro: We'll set up checkpoints for the pretext of the capturing of the Minister of Defense's murderer, then drive straight to the Remains of Memory!
Ryoko: I named it... Operation All the Highway Are Mine!
Hiroto: It might end up bad.
Raiga: I hope not.
(Time Skip)
Ryoko's pink car move in the middle while other four car make sure the escort went well.
Hiroto and Raiga are following behind on their Extenders while the ZECTrooper are in a van behind them.
Genjuro following them on a helicopter, looking down if there any enemy attack.
Hiroto: There's something isn't right. It's so quiet.
Then the side of the brigde breaked making one of the escort car fall and explode.
Raiga: What was that?!
Hiroto: Probably Noise. Or those men from before.
Genjuro(Comm): It's an enemy attack! I can't confirm anything yet but it mostly like the Noise!
Then suddenly the sewer water burst out sending another car to the air making Hibiki fright.
Genjuro(Comm): They're in the sewers! The Noise are attacking from the sewers!
Then the water burst out again and send another car to the air. Ryoko dodge the car before it can fall on them.
Ryoko: Genjuro-san, don't you think this is pretty bad? If the drug factory ahead explode, Durandal will...
Genjuro(Comm): I know! It looks they only targeting the guards car to avoid damaging Durandal! If there's after the Durandal, we should go to a dangerous place so they can't attack us!
Hiroto: I think that's a good and bad idea!
Genjuro(Comm): Why is that?
Hiroto: Because TheBee is right behind us!
Genjuro(Comm): What?!
TheBee, in his Masked Form, is riding the Machine Zectron and chasing them from behind.
Hiroto: Raiga!
Raiga: Hai!
Their Zecters fly next to them and they catch them.
Hiroto/Raiga: Henshin!
Henshin!
As they get close the factory, the four car is attacked by Noise. Lucky they able to get out of the car before it crash and explode.
The Noise didn't get really close with the factory because they know the effect of it.
Hibiki: Just what we're looking for!
Then Ryoko's car accidently tripped and turn upside down.
Gatack: Hibiki-chan! Ryoko-san!
They get out of the car and saw many Noise surround them all. The van stop and the ZECTrooper get out of the van, pointing their guns at the Noise.
ZECTrooper 1: Open fire!
They blast the Noise and able to kill them. But then some of them appear again.
ZECTrooper 2: You two need to get out of here!
Hibiki take the case that keep the Durandal and lift it up but it's heavy. Kabuto and Gatack stopped and went to them.
Hibiki: Ryoko-san, it's heavy.
???: Then leave it here and run.
They look up to the saw the girl, who is now known as Chris, look down to them.
Hibiki: We can't do that.
Ryoko: Well, yeah.
Then the Noise blast themselves at Hibiki and Ryoko. They dodge the attack and it hits Ryoko's car making it explode.
TheBee: It's look like things get better.
Kabuto: A rematch?
Gatack: Wait, Senpai let me handle him.
To be continued...
The curtain is opened and the light are on, showing Chibi Raiga and Chibi Kanade.
Raiga: Hello there!
Kanade: So this is it feel being a chibi?
Raiga: Right! Senpai and Hibiki is busy fighting so this time I'll help it.
Kanade: This is the first time I'm here!
Raiga: Now then, we have a question for you guys.
Kanade: We have?
Raiga: We do. And the question is, who is the new Rider that will appear that is shown in this chapter?
Kanade: The hint is... this!
Then the screen show the hint.
Screen: "Fly"
Kanade: Fly? That's the best we've got?
Raiga: That is all I got.
Kanade: No wonder Hiroto has a bad time with you.
Raiga: What?
Kanade: Forget it.
Then they waves at the readers.
Kanade/Raiga: See you later!
The curtain is closed and the lights are off.
Walk the path of heaven. Ruler of Everything.
