Chris just lying on the ground and felt herself really pitiful, letting another girl beat her.

Chris(In mind): What an insane way to use Gear energy! It's almost as powerful as the other girl's Swan Song!

The the Nehushtan's armor start to regenerate the broken part.

Chris(In mind): I have to settle this before she tears apart mine futher!

She look at Hibiki who is closing her eyes while singing. Kabuto and Gatack are walking toward them.

Chris: Are you making fun of me? Me? Yukine Chris?

Hibiki: Oh, so your name's Chris-chan.

Gatack(In mind): I knew it. It definitely her!

Hibiki: Hey, Chris-chan. Let's stop fighting already! We're not like the Noise. We can talk to each other! I'm sure we'll understand each other if we just talk!

Gatack: Yeah! There's something I want to talk about with you!

Hibiki: We're both are humans, after all! These two as well!

Chris: What a stinking lie! You're a huge liar. And a huge idiot!!

It makes Gatack clench his fists really hard. The way he look at Chris is surely that he know who she is.

Chris dash toward Hibiki and kick her away sending her into a tree and it breaked. Then she kick her again as she look at her that is regenarating.

Chris: Butobe, Armor Purger!!

Then he armor blast from her body damaging the surrounding area.

GZ: Eeeeeeeeehhh...!!

KZ: She can Cast Off as well?!

Kabuto: That's not Cast Off at all. That's...

Chris: Kiritan Ichii ibal tron~...

Gatack: She sings...?

Chris: I'll show the power of Ichii-Bal.

The power surging inside of her creating armor.

(2nd Division)

Genjuro: Ichii-Bal?!

Screen: "Ichii-Bal"

Agent 1: Aufwachen Waveform detected!

Agent 2: There's a match in the database. It's Ichii-Bal's pattern!

Genjuro: So they even have the second lost Relic?

Kanade: First Nehushtan, and then TheBee, now Ichii-Bal?!

(At fight)

They cover their faces when the smoke is blowing at them.

Hibiki: Chris-chan, is just like us...?

Chris: You made me sing. You made me sing my song! I show you how much I hate singing!!

Her Symphogear armor is coloured red, white and maroun, with ability to materelize many long-range weapons.

Hibiki: You hate singing?

Gatack: Chris...

Chris sing her song and form a crossbow with her gaunlet and blast them with laser arrows. Hibiki running to dodge the arrows while Kabuto just dodge it normally and Gatack dodge the arrows awkwardly.

Chris appear in front of Hibiki and kick her away. Then she change her weapon. Both of the gaunlets form a double gatling gun and point at Hibiki.

Billion Maiden!

She blast Hibiki with full power bullets and then make missile launcher at her waist.

Mega Death Party!

She blast the missiles toward Hibiki causing huge explosian.

The song ended.

Chris panting heavily because she use too much power in that attack. As the smoke clears, it shows a huge sword in front of her.

Chris: A shield?

Tsubasa: A sword!

Chris look up and saw Tsubasa on top of the sword. They look sharply at each other. It make Chris chuckle seeing that Tsubasa is back in action.

Chris: I heard you were in coma, almost dead. Did you come here to help your loser friends?

Kabuto: Who you're called loser?

Chris: What?

She turn around to see that Kabuto and Gatack come out of the Clock Up Dimension and Hibiki come out from behind the sword.

Tsubasa: I've decided that I won't be losing anything ever again.

Kabuto: Welcome back, childish brat.

Tsubasa: I told you stop calling me that!

Genjuro(Comm): Tsubasa. Don't force yourself.

Tsubasa: Yes, sir.

Kanade(Comm): Welcome back, Tsubasa.

Tsubasa: Thank you, Kanade.

Hibiki: Tsubasa-san?

Tsubasa: Are you awake, Tachibana? I can't say that I'm in top shape. I'd like you to help me.

Hibiki: S-Sure.

Tsubasa: I need you two as well!

Gatack Leave it to us!

Kabuto: What a drag.

Tsubasa dash toward Chris and swing her sword. Chris didn't even have a chance to shoot as Tsubasa make her back away a bit and then Tsubasa appear behind her.

Chris(In mind): Her movements totally different from before!

Hibiki: Tsubasa-san, that girl--

Tsubasa: I know.

Chris and Tsubasa back away from each other and ready their weapons.

Tsubasa(In mind): She's not an enemy for us to cross swords with. I need to ask her about the second Relic that was lost ten years ago.

Before Chris can shoot, three bird like Noise come from the sky. Two form into bullet and destroy her gatling guns.

Chris: What?!

Gatack: Watch out!

Then third one turn into bullet form. Before it can hit Chris, Gatack jump in front of her and block the attack. The attack is strong causing Gatack to undo his transformation. Raiga fall to the ground with pain all over his body.

Tsubasa: Shuu!

Raiga: Oww...!

Kabuto and Tsubasa enter the guarding position as Hibiki went to Raiga.

Chris: What are you doing?

Raiga: Protecting you.

Chris: Are you making fool of me like that girl?! Nobody ask your help!

Raiga: Like hell I forget what we promise years ago!

Chris look at Raiga as he turn his face to look at him. She look closely and see Raiga as someone familiar to him.

Chris: I-It can't be... Y-You are...

???: You can't even follow orders. How much must you disappoint me?

Kabuto: I assume you as the mastermind behind this.

???: I do expect that from you, Kabuto.

Not far from them, there's a woman with long blond hair in black clothes with black hat holding the staff that Chris use to summon the Noise.

Chris: Finé!

Tsubasa(In mind): Finé? Her name means "the end"?

Chris look at Hibiki who is helping Raiga to get up and then look back at Finé.

Chris: Who needs that girl? I can prevent the wars myself! And then, just like you say, humanity can be freed from this curse, and the world will go back to being one, right?

Finé: I'm done with you.

Chris: Wh-What do you mean?!

Finé raise her right hand and her palm glow blue. The piece of Nehushtan armor turn into dust of light and went to her. After that, Finé command the Noise to attack them. Tsubasa slash the Noise and Kabuto shoot them down while Finé escape from the area.

Chris: Wait! Finé!

Raiga: Chris!

She went after Finé but Kabuto secretly flick a tracking device at Chris while she run away.

Kabuto: *sigh* Now we have new enemy to deal with.

(Time Skip)

Hibiki and Raiga are being checked for any injuries after the fight. Hiroto and Tsubasa came to see them.

Ryoko: You have a lot of scrathes, and you hurt yourself in the chest. Nothing fatal for both of you. You guys just exhausted from using too much energy. Rest a bit, and you'll be fine.

Hiroto: Listen to the doctor.

Tsubasa: He's right.

Hiroto: Thank you, childish brat.

Tsubasa: Hmph!

Hibiki: Well, I'll...

Before she could fall, Ryoko catch her making sure she's fine.

Ryoko: Didn't you hear me? You need some rest.

Hibiki: I think I'm cursed.

Ryoko: *sigh* Are you worried about your friends?

Hibiki: Y-Yes.

Ryoko: Don't worry. It'll be fine. Ogawa-kun and the others are explaining the situation to her.

Hibiki: Oh.

Ryoko: Once they explain the need secrecy to her, she'll be sent home.

Hibiki: Okay, I understand.

At the command room, they are discussing about Finé and Ichii-Bal. Then Ryoko and he group enter the room.

Ryoko: I understand that this is serious, but both of our Symphogear users are fine. As well as the Kamen Riders. It's too early to be gloomy.

Then Genjuro stand from the couch and look at them.

Genjuro: Tsubasa, what were you thinking?

Tsubasa: I'm sorry going out there on my own. But I can't sit idly when my comrades is in danger. Even if Shuu and Hiroto is experience in fighting, Tachibana is still inexperienced. She may be an amatuer, but she still a warrior. Of that I am certain.

Hibiki: Tsubasa-san!

Tsubasa: *turn to Hibiki* My condition's still far from perfect, but I think I can get out there and back you up.

Kanade: That's the Tsubasa I know!

Hibiki: I'll do my best!

Genjuro: Were there any problems in the checkup?

Hibiki: I'll be fine after eating dinner and get a goodnight sleep.

But she look down as she think about Miku.

Hibiki(In mind): If I sleep in the place where I most warm... Miku!

Then Ryoko poke Hibiki's breast.

Hibiki: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!! What are you doing?!

Ryoko: The fragment of Gungnir is in your heart are merging with your body in the way they aren't before. That might be where your energy and recovery abilities coming from.

Genjuro: And now...

He turn to Raiga who still looking down, ignoring everything around him.

Genjuro: The way you talking to that girl is like you know her as well as she know you.

Raiga: Chris is... my childhood friend.

Silence...

Tsubasa/Kanade/Hibiki: HUUUUUUUUUUUHHH?!!!

Genjuro: She's your childhood friend?

Raiga: I know her long ago until I heard news that she went missing and her parents was killed. From the day she was missing, I tried to find her. This is the other reason I become Gatack. I never expect to see her as an enemy.

Genjuro: That was unexpected.

Raiga: That is why... please let me handle her. I will definitely save her! Please!

He bow to the Genjuro making some of suprised. Raiga never did this before. He is an idiot but not this type of person.

Genjuro: Sorry, but I cannot let you handle this alone.

Hiroto: That is why, I'll help you only this once.

Raiga: What?

They all at Hiroto. Then he take out somekind of device that showing the location of something. It's a tracking device.

Hibiki: What is that?

Hiroto: Tracking device.

Tsubasa/Kanade: Tracking device?!

Hiroto: What do you think I am? I put a tracking bug on her in secret.

Raiga: As expected from Senpai!

Hiroto: Remember, I only help you this once.

Raiga: Hai!

Genjuro: Who said you two can do that?

Hiroto: And who said that I take order from you?

Genjuro: What kind of deal did I do?

(Time Skip)

At the dorm, Miku is reading a magazine as Hibiki comes in.

Hibiki: Hey, Miku... How do I... um... that is...

Miku: Welcome back.

Hibiki: Yeah. Um. Hi. Um, can I come in?

Miku: Sure, it's your room, too.

Hibiki: Well... um...

Miku: What? Those people told me most of it. I don't think there's anything else for me to hear.

Hibiki: Miku...

She saw her face the Miku is clearly angry with Hibiki for keeping such an important secret.

Miku: Liar. You said you wouldn't hide anything!

They haven't talk to each other for an hour. Miku just keep reading the magazine while Hibiki keep looking at her.

Hibiki: Miku, I want you to listen to me. I--

Miku: You're going to lie again, aren't you?

She went into bed and get some sleep. She close the curtain so she can separate themselves from each other.

Hibiki: I'm sorry...

She look at the picture when Hibiki and Miku is happy. Also, there's another person in it, the one that Hibiki like so much during the junior high life.

Hibiki: Kenmaru, I hope you're here, right now...

At the lab, Ryoko is inside her special personal lab and do some observation about the Relic.

Ryoko(In mind): The Symphogear both increases the physical capabilities of its user and coats their body in a barrier which prevents the Noise from devouring them. Futhermore, it forces the Noise, which extend into another world, to vibrate at a certain frecuency. This forces them to exist under the physical law of this universe, which neutralize their phase barriers. This is what make Symphogear so special. But this also limits what a Symphogear can do when wielded by a human.

She remember every single research that she did about the Symphoger while drinking a cup of coffee.

Ryoko(In mind): The energy released by Symphogear places great strain at the diva's body, wrecking it and tearing it apart. The most obvious example of this is the Swan Song. As long as the Symphogear and the Relic are not fused together, there is no obvious way to reduce the strain. That is the conclusion that my theory reaches. But there is one thing that can prove to be an expectation to this rule, it might be Tachibana Hibiki.

She look at the pictures of Hibiki on the wall.

Ryoko(In mind): The second combination of a human and a Relic. The activation experiment that took the form of a concert by Amou Kanade and Kazanari Tsubasa, drew out and amplified the phonic gain from the audience, and was successful to awaken the Nehushtan's Armor. But Tachibana Hibiki was successful in activating an equally intact Relic, Durandal, with only using her own power.

She put down the glass on the table.

Ryoko(In mind): It's clear that the combination of human and Relic will bring about yet another paradigm shift. If a human use the Swan Song without placing any stress on their themselves, and use the power of the Relics freely, that will be proof that we've been released from the bond laid by the Custodians in the distant past. We shall speak to one another with unimpeded by our differences, and the Lulu Amelu shall be able to determine ther own destiny, transending the past.

She look at the screen showing that the Relic looks like spreading inside of Hibiki. After that, she look at the files on the table.

Ryoko(In mind): The first combination of human and a Relic was lost nine years ago. Until the person show up, knowing nothing and lost the memory of the time when the Relic was put into the person's body.

She take the file and take a look at the cover. It shows that it was belong to ZECT. The first Symphogear project that they made but failed after the test subject was taken by a group of Kamen Rider.

Ryoko(In mind): Known to the strongest Relic of all. Went missing just like that without anything. The very first one is the success from every single Relic. And now, the user...

She look at it and it was a picture and detail about the person. Symphogear was thought only can be used by girls, but the user of the strongest Relic is a boy.

Ryoko(In mind): The power of both hell and saviour...

Next Day

Hibiki tries to talk with Miku but all Miku think Hibiki will lie to her again. And then at the roof, Miku told her that they might be cannot become friends anymore.

(Time Skip)

At Finé's mansion, she is talking with someone in America, until Chris comes into the room.

Chris: What do you mean that you don't need me anymore?! Are you treat me like an object, too?! I can't think straight! I can't tell what's right or wrong!

Then Finé hung up the call.

Finé: Why does nobody do what I want?

She use the staff to summon some Noise and surround Chris. Chris felt fear as she look to her necklace.

Finé: I guess it's time to say goodbye. Let me tell you this. The way you do things, wars will never end. The best you could do is prevent one war and sow the seeds of two or three more.

Chris: This was your idea! The pain and the Gear are both things you gave me--

Finé: You wear the Symphogear I gave you, and you're still useless. I think we're done.

Her hand glows blue.

Finé: Both armor and I are indestructible. The future goes on forever.

She wear the Nehushtan's armor. Unlike Chris, her armor is coloured gold.

Finé: Kadingir is almost complete. I have no reason to use your power anymore.

Chris: Kadingir. Do you mean...

Finé: You've learned too much.

She command the Noise to attack Chris making her fall outside at the balcony. Chris look back at Finé who is standing with smile at her face while TheBee, in Rider Form, is standing beside her.

Finé: Kill her.

TheBee: As you wish, my lady.

He walk to Chris as she is tries to back away but she felt fear like she can't move at all.

TheBee: No heart breaks. I just don't like Chris.

Chris: Damn it!

TheBee: I'll see you at the afterlife. Rider Sting.

Rider Sting!!!

Chris: Damn it...!!

He dash forward toward Chris until...

Rider Kick!!!

Gatack appear out of nowhere and do the slash kick at TheBee sending him flying into the mansion.

Kabuto also appear and Gatack land next to him. They are in front of Chris who is suprised when they come.

Chris: Wha...? What are you two doing here?

Kabuto: It's obvious. Saving your ass.

Raiga: Chris, I'll get you out of here!

Finé: Kabuto, you are a trouble to my plan.

Gatack: Hey! I'm over here, too!

Kabuto: Take the girl.

Gatack: Senpai!

Kabuto: She's our objective.

Gatack: H-Hai!

He went to Chris and carry her in bridal style.

Chris: *blushing* H-Hey!

Gatack: Don't worry! We'll take you somewhere place!

Finé: You think you can escape from here just like that?

Kabuto: Of course we can.

He put up his hand.

Kabuto: Cast Off.

He flick his finger.

Cast Off!

Then the Kabuto Extender and Gatack Extender change into the EX mode. Kabuto ride on his and Gatack jump on his.

Kabuto/Gatack: See you!

They burst from the area. The Noise couldn't even catch them because of the speed. Finé clench the staff really hard as she consume by anger.

TheBee: Argh...

He look around the area and the Riders including has disappear.

TheBee: What did I miss?

Finé turn to him with angry face making him flinched and kneel down in front of her.

TheBee: I'm sorry if I insult you!

Finé: There's no need to ask for forgiveness.

TheBee: Huh?

Finé her hand glow blue and grab his head making TheBee cries in pain.

Finé: With this power, you will be able to beat Kabuto. Make sure you kill him.

She remove her hand from TheBee and he stand up. His visor glow red as he feels the energy surging through he body.

TheBee: With this power... I can destroy everything!!

Finé: Remember, if you lose even once, that power will consume you and you will disappear.

TheBee: Don't worry, I'll make sure Kabuto pay for this.

At the safe area, they jump down from their vehicles. Both Extenders return to bike form. Gatack put Chris on the ground and help her stand.

Gatack: Are you okay?

Chris: Why did you save me?

Gatack What?

Then Chris turn to him with tears streaming down from her eyes.

Chris: Why did you save me?! I broke our promise and you still cares about me?!

Gatack: Of course I care about you! You're my friend!

Chris: Don't use that phrase at me! I left you for years and make you sad! I'm not fit to be called your friend anymore!!

Gatack just look at Chris who is crying. He de-henshin himself and so as Kabuto. Raiga look straight at her in the eyes and then hug her. Her eyes widen as Raiga seems doesn't even care for how long she left him.

Raiga: Chris, as long as you here, that is okay... I'm just glad you're safe...

Then Chris cries in his shoulder as she hug him back. Raiga hug Chris tightly like he don't even want to let go of her. Hiroto look at them while sitting on his bike.

Hiroto(In mind): If I thinking... maybe that childish brat will do the same.

To be continued...

The curtain is opened and the lights are on, showing Chibi Hiroto and Chibi Hibiki.

Hibiki: Hi there readers!

Hiroto: How do you think about this chapter?

Hibiki: It mostly about Chris-chan but it's good, right?

Hiroto: Why are you so hyped? Aren't you and Miku fight?

Then Hibiki felt really down.

Hibiki: Miku didn't want to be friend with me anymore...

Hiroto: Don't worry, she'll be fine soon.

Hibiki: Are you sure with that?

Hiroto: Of course. She will feel bad after saying that.

Hibiki: That's not even a good thing.

Hiroto: Forget about it.

Hibiki: Huh?

Then Hiroto and Hibiki waves at the readers.

Hiroto/Hibiki: See you later!

The curtain is closed and the lights are off.

Walk the path of heaven. Ruler of Everything.
