You've been too self-centered.
All the research data about the relics is now ours.
I guess you don't need me any more,
now that I opened the way for you...
It's just like your lowly government
to intentionally leave so much evidence behind.
That childish Uncle Sam
hasn't even peered into the depths of Black Art...
Fire!
Listen to my song
Can you hear me?
Please tell me
I look at the sky, devoid of answers and made to deceive
fly far away
Words are not enough
so accept all I am
I can't control myself... nor do I want to
I've always known that
With my song I will bring about
the beginning of eternity for you
So smile
I will embrace you tighter than anyone else
I will never let you go
Yes, never
I hope that you're the one to shake
my heart in doubt
That would start something greater
Ever since we were born, we looked for our meeting
I think of you when the wind howls around me at night
and the song of the life we lived together blasts through the heavens
That Which Our Clasped Hands Bind
Excuse us!
What's up?
Got the school song stuck in your head?
Just hearing the school song here at Lydian makes me feel safe.
It really puts my mind at ease.
It's like, I can relax by just knowing that everyone's here with me.
I really feel at home here,
even though we only enrolled two months ago.
So much has happened over those two months, though.
Yeah, that's true.
What could have happened here?!
No! It wasn't me!
Someone...
We know you're not behind this.
It was done by someone who's been with you, and with us, from the very beginning.
Commander Kazanari!
What the hell was that?!
I neutralized the explosion using a martial arts technique.
That's not what I meant!
You don't even have a Gear of your own!
Why do you keep protecting me?
Whether I have a Gear or not has nothing to do with it.
I'm doing it because I'm still an adult compared to you.
An adult?
I hate adults!
And I hate my dead parents most of all!
I'm not like those idealistic cowards!
Rescuing refugees from a guerilla war?
Saving the world with the power of song?
Any adult worth a damn wouldn't waste their time on such wishful thinking!
Wishful thinking, huh?
Want to end war?
Just beat the shit out of anyone who even thinks about fighting!
That's the only way that makes sense!
Is that what you truly believe?
Then, let me ask:
Could you really put an end to every war that way?
Well...
You said that real adults shouldn't waste their time on wishful thinking?
To the contrary,
it's because we are adults that we have our own dreams and ideals.
When you become an adult, you grow up and become stronger.
You might find you have a bit of spare cash on the side, too.
But more importantly, once you're an adult you get the chance
to take all those crazy dreams you had as a kid, and make them real.
And your dreams and ambitions become more important than ever.
You think your parents went to war just out of wishful thinking?
Not a chance.
Didn't they throw themselves into that hell so that they could realize their dream
of changing the world for the better with their songs?
Why... are you...
They wanted to show you
the unyielding truth that dreams can be fulfilled.
Though you may have declared that you hate them,
I'm sure they loved you more than anything else in the world.
I shouldn't...
You can't come with us?
You're not as alone as you think you are.
Even if you choose to walk your own path,
it will meet up with ours sooner than you'd think.
You think former enemies can join forces with each other just like that?
That's pretty idealistic coming from an adult who knows how harsh the world is.
You're a difficult one, aren't you?
Here.
A communicator?
You can also use it to ride public transport
and buy things from vending machines, up to a certain limit.
It's pretty handy.
Kadingir!
Huh?
Finè mentioned it.
Something called "Kadingir".
I don't know what it is,
but she said it was "complete".
Kadingir?
I see. We don't have a moment to lose.
We must strike first.
Yes. Tsubasa speaking.
Hibiki here.
Very well.
What about Ryoko?
She hasn't reported in.
We haven't been able to contact her since this morning.
I see.
Ms. Ryoko will be all right!
If something happens, she'll just go all "Bang! Boom!" like when she protected me!
Ms. Sakurai has no combat training. I doubt she'd be able to do anything like that.
But like, don't the Commander and Ms. Ryoko have those crazy superhuman abilities?
Oh, I finally got through!
Sorry! I overslept,
then my communicator started playing up...
Are you all right?
No problems on your side, Ryoko?
I overslept and I missed the garbage collection, but...
Did something happen?
That's good to hear.
Then that's okay.
There is something I want to ask you about.
My, aren't we in a hurry?
What is it?
Kadingir.
What does that mean?
It's an ancient Sumerian word that refers to a divine existence.
In a sense, it means a tower reaching for the heavens.
If someone had built such a tower,
wouldn't we have noticed it?
Well, when you put it that way...
Regardless, we now have the enemy right where we want them.
If we can simply gather more intelligence, our victory is assured.
We will strike at the smallest gap in the enemy's defence with all that we have.
We shall not miss our chance to land the finishing blow!
Roger!
I've got a few things to take care of here, then I'll head right over.
Kadingir...
A secret tower that nobody knows about...
I tried searching for it on the Internet, but all I got were game walkthroughs...
I don't care how small or how unimportant,
find every piece of information you can about Kadingir!
What is it?
We've detected three massive flying Noise!
No, four!
It's huge!
Run!
Understood.
I'm heading out right away.
So they're not attacking people?
Just flying around?
Yes. Got it.
Hibiki?
It's okay.
Tsubasa and I will do something about them.
You should go back to school.
Back to Lydian?
Yeah. If worst comes to worst,
we might have to evacuate everyone to the underground shelter beneath the school.
I'd like you to help with that, if need be.
Okay.
Sorry for getting you mixed up in this.
It's okay, I got into this myself.
No matter how far away you travel,
Lydian's somewhere you can always call home.
When I think of it like that, I want to protect it as well.
Somewhere I can always call home...
That's right!
So, go do what you need to.
I'll become as strong as you to protect what's important to me.
Kohinata Miku is the sunshine that warms me up!
I'm drawn to your side.
It's the warmest spot I know.
It always has been like that, and it won't change.
So I'll come back to you. No matter what!
Hibiki...
Don't forget, we promised to watch the meteor shower together!
Yeah.
Then, I'll see you later!
This is Tsubasa.
This is the most recent information we have regarding the movements of the Noise.
Yes!
The one that originally appeared in area 41 is now passing through area 33,
heading towards area 28.
Likewise, the Noise in areas 18 and 17
are now heading towards area 24.
Also...
Commander, this is...
The trajectories of all four Noise intersect at the Tokyo Sky Tower!
The Tokyo Sky Tower?
If the Kadingir is a tower,
then could it be the Sky Tower itself?
The Tokyo Sky Tower serves as a central control node
for our radio-based communication and video transmission.
Hurry to the Tokyo Sky Tower!
Even if it ends up being a trap.
The Sky Tower?
But from here it's...
Overcoming hopeless situations is our job!
Why is it that against all odds
fate has led me here in such a vast world?
You held my hand when I was lost
I'll never forget your kindness
Blue Flash
Now that I'm here, instead of
standing idly by with a fake smile
I'll put all my feelings
In this battle, it looks like the enemy really does have the upper hand!
Could we use the helicopters to attack from the sky?
No way...
Damn it!
How are we supposed to deal with Noise that can fly?
Don't lose your focus, Tachibana!
Should the sentinels fail,
the enemy lines will breach the country's borders!
This piece of crap wouldn't stop squealing like a stuck pig,
so I figured this at least might shut it up!
Don't get me wrong!
It's not like I wanted to help you out, or anything!
Sorry, the help's arrived a little late!
Help?
Yes,
it's the Symphogear user bearing the second relic, Ichii-Bal.
Yukine Chris!
Chrissie!
Thank you so much!
I knew you'd join us sooner or later!
Are you mental?
Are you even listening to me?!
We should concentrate on dealing with the Noise for now.
I'll handle it myself!
Just stay out of my way!
If I carve out all my wounds
Will I be able to forget?
Let me tell you a secret
Let's leave the airborne Noise to her.
I'm not the good girl you think I am
We'll handle the ones on the ground!
Roger!
Come on, it's showtime
I'm not perfect, sad but true
And now I'll blow all of
you and you and you...
All to tiny pieces
What are you doing?!
Get out of the way!
Come to your senses.
Do you wish to fight alone?
I'm always alone.
Did I miss the part where we became best friends?
We may not have any reason to fight each other,
but then,
we don't have any reason not to fight, either!
Let's just keep going like before!
You can't expect people to just—
Yes, we can!
We can settle our differences with anyone.
All this time, I've been wondering why I didn't have an armed gear.
I always thought it sucked to be just half a fighter all the time.
But not any more.
It's because I'm not holding any weapons
that I can hold your hands like this instead.
I can make peace with everyone!
Tachibana...
Is her idiocy contagious?
I guess so.
And it looks like you've got it too.
You're kidding.
Until we take out the big ones, there'll be no end to them.
I have an idea.
Something only I can do.
Ichii-Bal's specialty is long-range, wide-area artillery.
I'll blow them to pieces!
You're not going to sing your swan song, are you?
Don't be stupid.
I wouldn't throw away my life that lightly.
Then how?
I'll keep raising the energy output of the Gear, but suppress the actual release.
After overloading it with energy until it goes critical,
I'll release it all at once.
But you'll be totally defenseless while you charge.
It's too dangerous against this many opponents.
That's true.
But all that means is that we'll have to protect Chrissie!
I never asked for this...
But I can't back out now!
What could this feeling be?
My heart was all messed up
A hand reached out for me, and I realized I was not alone
We're holding each other's hands now.
I fight by holding others' hands!
All this, all this, all this overflowing
The power to smash things up, or bind them together...
pain and suffering is weighing on me
That armed gear is very much like Tachibana.
Blow it all up!
It's yours!
My raging song will tear it all apart
Because I finally found what I was looking for
I'll never ever waver again, working to fulfill my dream
My feelings thundering, the requiem of sins
With hidden bravery, I sheltered the song of the future within my soul
I finally found what I was looking for
The future is waiting for us... Without doubt
She did it.
Of course!
We did it!
Lay off, dumbass! What do you think you're doing?!
It's all thanks to you that we won, Chrissie!
Cut it out already!
Listen!
I'm not your comrade or anything!
I just want to fulfill the dream
I discovered after parting ways with Finè!
Dream?
You have a dream, Chrissie?
What is it, tell me!
Shut the hell up, moron!
You're hopeless!
Hello?
Hibiki!
It's the school!
Lydian is under attack by the Noi—
To be

The Swan
Songs
of the
Valkyries
Here we are, where I used to belong, but
when I turn around, only the wind is with me
Don't let me down, don't make me confused
I will drown in despair
The sky from here is like a nightmare
and it comes to chase me
Dreams and reason and all my feelings
are once more erased
I can't wait for the end to these sad days
Lost and deep in my agony
I still wish to try to win
Although my hands are covered in wounds
they hold a little star that will never die
This light that fell from the heavens
shines for me faintly even now
I will reach out to others no matter how often I have to
although I can't imagine
how mere faith could ever be a strength
Shine for me, shooting star!
