Hello Fanfiction readers! I'm Ashbel Longhart and welcome, ladies and gentlereaders, to the season finale of Kamen Rider Faiz: Song of Paradise! Before we begin, I want to begin by saying thank you all for reading this story up to this point. When I first started this story, I knew nothing about Symphogear. I've never watched it, but it always interested me. After reading a few fanfics of KR and Symphogear, I went and marathon the first season and began writing this story. I thought about which Rider would be perfect for this anime and I chose the lone wolf Rider: Faiz. Both shows are dark so combining these two would only make this story a bit darker and that's what I wanted when I wrote this. Now, after over a year, the first season of this story is now coming to a close. Cue disclaimer!

(Disclaimer: I do not own Senki Zesshou Symphogear or Kamen Rider Faiz. I also don't own any songs that appear here. They all belong to their respective owners. I just own this story and my OC's. Please enjoy.)

Once again, thank you all for reading up to this point and giving it so much love. Unlike my other stories, I'm going to separate each season into separate stories so once this story ends, look out for the second season. But for now, let's wrap up this story once and for all. Until the second season, open your eyes for Season 1's final Faiz! Let's ride!

Song 15: Song of Paradise-Final

(Last Time)

"DAMMIT! WHAT GOOD IS THIS POWER IF I CAN'T EVEN PROTECT THE ONE'S CLOSEST TO ME!?"

"Don't you dare shit about her sacrifice!"

"The fragment of Gungnir that merged with her are going berserk, causing her consciousness to be overrun with power she cannot control."

"Why don't you just your damn mouth already? I'm starting to get tired of hearing you talk."

"The Kadingir is the ultimate weapon after all."

"…One flaw. If I strike you down, there'll be no one to operate the Kadingir."

"You?"

"I'll stop the Kadingir. But I need you to keep Hibiki busy. Can you do that?"

*BANG!*

"These hands were meant to bring people together, not hurt others."

"Stay here with Tachibana. I'll take it from here."

"A sword to the end, eh?"

"I'll show the world that Kazanari Tsubasa can sing elsewhere than the battlefield!"

"TSUBASA! FLY TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

"RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"Haru…You're…an Orphnoch?"

"Shhhh, it's okay. Everything is fine. You're friends are safe. There's no more reason for you to be angry anymore. Everything is okay now."

"The school song…That means…"

"Miku and the others are all right!"

"I'm so glad…They're always by my side, singing for me. That's why…I can sing too. I can keep going! I can keep fighting!"

"That can't be! Her heart was broken so what in the world could she be using? Something I created? What is it? Just what in the world is it!?"

"SYMPHOGEAR~!"

"If you can't become an angel, then be a messiah."

"Henshin!"

AWAKENING

(Now)

"They look so awesome!" The little girl said as she gazed in awe at the Symphogear user's new form as well as Haru's new Blaster form.

"Amazing…" Ogawa said in awe.

"So that's the Blaster form Haru told me about." Genjuro, out of his armor, said.

"Minna…" Miku smiled, happy that her friends were back on their feet and ready to kickass once again.

This final battle will decide everything. Now, all everyone can do now is rely on these four heroes to save the day.

(Insert PSI-missing by Kawada Mami)

(Instrumental)We first see a blurry screen before it clears up a bit to reveal the face of Faiz. The screen becomes blurry again before Faiz's face is replaced with the face of Haru. After that, the title appears as the song begins.

(Koko ni ikiru sono wake mo)Getting off a train, we see Haru getting off and walking away to who knows where.

(Kono basho de deau subete mo)We then see Hibiki hanging out with Miku before she receives a phone call. Going to pick it up, she notices Haru passing by and just watches where Haru was going.

(Tatoe chigau sekai demo)We see Haru again walking past Tsubasa. Tsubasa seems to notice Haru as she stopped walking and stared back at him.

(Doko ni ite mo kono omoi ha yuruganai)Haru once again walks to who knows where. We then see Chris at a vending machine, getting a drink before noticing Haru walking by. Haru then walks by a hooded teen who looked towards Haru's direction.

(Mune wo CHIKURI to sasu itami)We then find ourselves within the Second Division Base. We then see Genjuro looking up at the surveillance camera before looking towards us.

(Sore wo warau shiawase na mono tachi he)Sakurai, who was looking at something on a clipboard, turned to us and then go see Kanade who smiles in our direction.

(Sei wo mukeyuku)Then suddenly, alarms go off, signaling that Noises are attacking.

(Touzen no kurushimi wo unmei ga sasou) We see both Hibiki and Tsubasa arriving at the scene, activating their Relic before going in to fight. Not far behind, can see Haru coming in, riding on the AutoVajin.

(Furuedasu ashi ga oboeteru.. kakushin ni)Haru then jumps off the AutoVajin and transforms into Faiz, running to go join the girls when suddenly, Orphnochs appear, stopping him from helping. Refusing to back down, Faiz charges at the Orphnochs, throwing a punch at them.

(Yume dake ja mamorenai)We then suddenly see Chris falling into a black void as Haru tries to reach and save her.

(Tayoranai chikara)We then see Haru on a hill top, overlooking the city as Haru seemed to enjoy the view. Hibiki, Kanade, and Tsubasa then appear out of nowhere and join Haru in looking at the city and Haru didn't seem to mind the new company.

(Ima kono te ga shiru kara mayowanai)We then go back to the fight in the city where we see Hibiki and Tsubasa about to send out their most powerful attack while Haru jumps and Rider Kicks towards the screen, his kicking feet glowing red, before the scene changes to the Faiz Gear lying next to a grave, rain pouring down as the song comes to an end.

(With Haru and the girls)

I clench and unclench my right hand a few times to get a feel of the new suit and there was only one word to describe this. Amazing. This suit was amazing. I can feel the raw power of this suit. All the information the suit gave me was now memorized in my brain. Truly, this was one of Smart Brain's greatest creations.

"So, how's the suit?" Psyga asked.

"It's incredible." I said before looking up into the sky to where the girls were. I better not keep them alone up there. With that thought in mind, I typed in: 5246 and pressed ENTER on the Faiz Blaster.

FAIZ BLASTER TAKE OFF

I felt something happen to the Photon Field Floater on my back before I knelt down and jumped before continuous amounts of Photon Energy spewed from the Floater and I took off, quickly, making it to the girls.

"'Sup." I greeted the girls casually with a two finger salute.

"Haru!? W-W-What is this!?" Hibiki was the first to ask as she pointed all over my new suit.

"This, Hibiki, is Kamen Rider Faiz: Blaster Form." I said. "Although, compared to you three, I think I'm beat when it comes to power-ups. I mean this when I say that you all look like angels."

To my amusement, they all blushed bright red as my new bodysuit. Looks like they were still the same girls I've come to know.

"W-W-Well, I can see what you mean." Tsubasa said as she and the others looked at their wings.

"B-But did you have to say that so bluntly?" Chris said, trying to hide her blush. Such a tsundere.

"But it's true." I said, smirking under my helmet before I flew over to them and…

*BONK-BONK!*

"Ite!" With all my strength, I bonked both Tsubasa and Chris on the head, surprising them and Hibiki.

"What was that for!?" Chris exclaimed in anger as she and Tsubasa held their heads.

"That was for the stunt you two pulled." I said. "So you know how worried Hibiki and I were? We nearly gave up in the end."

"We only did what we thought was right." Tsubasa said.

"With eight-thousand cries, the lil' cuckoo's blood red tongue, like a flame singing." I recited, confusing the girls. "It's a poem I read on the internet. The saying has it that the little bird keeps singing even as it coughs up blood. I compared this saying to you girls. I know that the only way to fight is for you girls to sing, but have you ever thought about taking a break? Because if you don't you'll pay in blood and as long as I'm here, I'm gonna make sure you girls never pay that price."

"Haru…"

"But right now, we have other matters to attend to." The girls returned to being serious as we all looked down at Finé.

"With these Gears, born from our friends' song, there's no way we can lose." Hibiki said and I agreed with her one hundred percent. "Their song is what gave Tsubasa and Chris the strength to stand up again. Songs grant more than just the power to fight. They give life!"

"High-level phonic gain?" Seems Finé has calmed down from her earlier surprise. "Just like what happened two years ago.

"Who gives a damn!?" Holy! What the!? Was that Chris' voice? But she didn't open her mouth.

"Telepathy, too?" Telepathy? The girls have that now? Lucky. "Even with the limiters on your Gears released, you don't stand a chance!" With that, she raised the staff Relic and summoned forth a group of Noise.

"I've had enough of your tricks!" My thoughts exactly.

"Was it you who let the Noise loose on the world?" Tsubasa telepathy asked.

"The Noise are autonomous weapons that were created by mankind, who had lost their common understanding in order to slaughter each other." Finé telepathy replied back.

"The Noise were created by people to kill each other?" Hibiki telepathy asked. Even I'm finding it hard the believe it. Who in the world would have the ability to create beings like those?

"The Gates to the treasury of Babylon are being held open." They are? Shit, Gilgamesh, is not going to like that. "They used to only escape through that door once a decade at most, but I've made it happen 're simply a power source for me." So the Noise came from the Gate of Babylon? Looks like I found another reason to hate Gilgamesh.

"You're still spewing that incomprehensible bullshit!?" Chris telepathy said when suddenly, the small group of Noises that Finé summoned flew towards us.

"Scatter!" I said as the four of us dodged the makeshift Noise bullets when a green light caught our attention.

"Descend!" Finé shouted as she sent a huge beam into the sky before it exploded like a firework. The remains then rained down on the entire city and when each remains touched the ground…a group of Noise came. Small slug-like Noises. Human-sized Noises. Giant Noises. Flying Noises. Battleship Noises. There was no end to them and soon, almost the entire city flooded the whole city!

"You have got to be kidding me!" I said as we all back up together.

"They're everywhere!" Hibiki said. Oh, so no more telepathy. Good, because I was starting to feel inferior.

"No problem! I'll blast them all into tiny pieces!" Chris said, looking ready to rumble as always before she took off.

Me and Tsubasa watched her go before we smirked. Tsubasa then went after Chris and I was about to follow when Hibiki spoke up.

"Haru…" I turned to Hibiki who had something to say judging from the look on her face. "I did something terrible…I hurt you again…"

She must being talking about the Durandal incident and the moment when she was still berserk.

"Don't worry about it." I said, surprising her. "Despite being consumed by rage, you still heard me. In the end, you came to your senses all on your own or was you hugging me back just something I made you do?" She blushed at that. "Hibiki, you've come a long way. Be proud of your strength."

"Haru…" I reached out and placed my free hand on her head, ruffling her hair. "Hey!"

"We fight together, Hibiki. Now let's go show Finé and those Noise what we're made of! Let your song reach the heavens themselves!"

"Hai!" Hibiki nodded before we flew after Tsubasa and Chris.

(Insert FIRST LOVE SONG)

At high speeds, me and Hibiki quickly caught up with the girls as they began to sing a song I've never heard of. Not only that, but all the girls were singing! It was a triple duet! Now that is a first.

Hibiki flew as she sang. Approaching two giant Noises, she pulled back the piston of her gauntlet and punched straight through the two giant Noises with ease but that wasn't all. The shockwave from the attack was so great that it destroyed even the Noises on the streets, clearing the whole street from the Noise! What power! Hibiki seemed to be amazed by her new power too as Tsubasa and Chris took action.

To my surprise, parts of Chris' armor transformed into some sort of fighter jet. Gathering energy at the front, a barrage of energy blasts erupted from the energy as explosions littered the sky whenever she passed by a cluster of Noises.

"Take this!" Chris shouted before sending a barrage of energy missiles if the sounds of missiles being launched told me anything.

Megadeth Party

Even more explosions littered the sky as each energy missile found their target and lit the sky up.

"Nice scatter-shot!" Hibiki telepathy said.

"Scatter? I was aiming for each of them-Wah!" Chris almost lost her balance when I landed on one of the wings of her jet. "Hey! What the hell are you doing!?"

"Well I can't let you girls have all the fun." I said as I typed into the Faiz Blaster: 103 and pressed ENTER.

BLASTER MODE

Shifting the Faiz Blaster to my right hand, I grabbed the bottom before popping it open as the grip turned as I was now holding the Faiz Blaster in Buster Mode. But I didn't stop there as I typed in: 5214 and pressed ENTER.

FAIZ BLASTER DISCHARGE

Both sides of the Field Floater turned and rested on my shoulders, becoming the Bloody Cannon. With all that done…

"Let's get wild!" I shouted as I pulled the pump back of the Blaster and fired as my Blood Cannons fired along with me. Chris flew me everywhere, from high to low; it didn't matter as I kept pulling the pump back and fired large blast of Photon Energy as my shoulder blasters killed any Noise in one shot. My shots struck a giant Noise and it went down in one shot. My shoulder blasters struck the aerial Noises and they went down. Soon, the streets and skies were filled with explosions.

"Can anyone top that?" I asked as I shouldered my Blaster.

"I can!" Hibiki telepathy said as she flew down and fired scatter-shots from her gauntlets, decimating a huge amount of Noise down below on the streets, both big and small. Nothing survived!

With Tsubasa, she flew up to the battleship Noises high in the sky and fired off her signature energy slash.

Azure Flash

The attack was nice and clean, slicing through the Noise battleships easily and struck the ground below as the ships soon exploded. I smiled under my before I pulled the pump back again and fired at a group of Noises that were coming towards me and Chris as that single shot struck one and took the rest with it.

"Sing, girls! Let the entire world hear your voice!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as Chris flew at high speeds, destroying Noise along the way.

Hibiki's scatter-shots destroyed massive amounts of Noise at once and took down any that dared to come close to her. Swords rained down upon the Noise from Tsubasa as she sliced through any Noise she got close to or if any got close to her. Chris kept shooting energy beams at the Noise in the air, taking down small jet sized ones and some of the battleship ones. I pulled the pump back constantly, firing at any Noise in my line of sight as my Blood Cannons kept shooting constant blasts of Photon Energy. I then decided the change tactics as I jumped off from Chris' jet, surprising her as I typed in: 5246 and pressed ENTER.

FAIZ BLASTER TAKE OFF

The Blood Cannons moved off my shoulders and back to my backs, releasing constant Photon Energy to keep my afloat and flying as I aimed down to the ground and fired, killing more Noises as as I landed on the ground and typed in: 143 and pressed ENTER.

BLADE MODE

The grip straightened as the barrel of the Blaster disappeared, replacing it with a blade of Photon Energy. Igniting my Photon Field Floater, I took off at high speeds, passing by Noise and leaving them in two as they exploded. I flew all over the streets, slicing and striking down any Noise. Spinning around, I kicked on back before punch another. I flew up higher and zoomed right towards a giant Noise, thrusting my blade forward before I pierced right through it, killing it as I met up with Tsubasa in the air. We gave each other a single glance before we passed by each other and continued to slice and dice all the Noises around me. I flew down and skidded across the ground before the Field Floater blasted my up like a rocket where I uppercutted another giant Noise before flying out of the way of one of Hibiki's scatter-shots. We passed by each other before she flew to the ground while I took towards the air, going after the flying Noises. I punched one right through the face before spinning around and delivered a back heel kick to another Noise before I flew and sliced through a group of Noises before I flew up as the rest of the aerial Noises were blasted to bits by Chris. I think it's time we ended this!

BLASTER MODE

The barrel returned to the Blaster, replacing the blade as the grip turned before I pressed ENTER again.

EXCEED CHARGE

Pulling back the pump again, I slowly aimed towards the city from where I was at in the sky as energy gathered at the barrel of the Blaster. Seeing what I was about to do, the girl decided to wrap things up too. With an enlarged energy slash followed by a rain of swords to a double scatter-shot down below to a rain of energy missiles and finally, when I pulled the trigger, a giant red beam of death all rained down on the Noise of the city. The biggest explosion I've ever seen soon occurred.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

(Song End)

The four of us stood back to back in silence as the entire city was covered in smoke.

"I think we got them." I said, shoulder my Blaster as I snapped my left hand out.

"No matter how many there are, they're still just Noise." Chris said.

Tsubasa then turned, noticing something. See this, we all turned and saw Finé holding the staff Relic over her stomach.

"What the hell is she doing?" I thought out loud.

She smirked at us before to our surprise; she stabbed the Relic right into her stomach!

"Seppuku!?" Why the hell would she do that!?

I got my answer when vein-like tentacles appeared from Finé and connected with the Relic in her hands. She smirked at us again before the remaining Noise in the city flew towards her…and completed enveloped her. Green rays flew into the air and scattered like fireworks before they flew towards Finé.

"The Noise are swarming over her?" Hibiki said in confusion.

"No, she's drawing them in!" Chris said when suddenly, a tentacle of mass Noises shot at us.

"Why does it always have to be tentacles?" I said before we dodged out of the way.

"COME, DURANDAL!" In a distorted voice, Finé sent down another tentacle down the remains of the Kadingir. Light soon appeared from underneath as the mass of Noise rose up and formed into what appeared to be some sort of red dragon. A single beam of energy was fired across the city before another huge explosion, this one almost blowing us away, occurred.

"The city!" Hibiki said as the city was in flames.

"Shit! What power!" I said.

"You have invoked my wrath." We all turned to Finé who was located at the head of the red dragon. She was no longer wearing the Nehushtan armor and instead wore some sort of maroon dress as in her right hands was the Durandal. "I hope you are prepared for what is to come."

Another beam of energy was fired at us and we barely dodged it as the force of the beam sent us back. I quickly recovered and grabbed Hibiki's hand before she flew away any further as Chris transformed her armor back into the fighter jet and fired a barrage of energy missiles at the ancient priestess. But to her surprise, a barrier of some sort appeared and hid Finé from us as the missiles struck the dragon and did no damage. Wing-like appendages soon appeared as Chris' own attack was sent back at her. She tried to dodge, but the explosions caught her and sent her flying.

"Chris!" I flew towards her in worry as Tsubasa sent her signature energy slash attack.

Azure Flash

The attack hit the head and caused damage, but to our surprise, the crack quickly healed itself. Ging all at one, I pumped the Faiz Blaster and fired a shot at the head. Hibiki punched the body as an explosion appeared straight through and Chris fired another barrage of beams, but the damage we dealt had all healed itself.

"It's got the Nehushtan's regenerative ability." I said.

"Even with your Gear's limiters released, they are still just mere toys made from mere fragments. That includes that new form of yours, boy. It's nothing, but a toy made from Smart Brain."

"Well fuck you too." I said.

"Did you really think mere toys could the power of Durandal, a complete Relic?"

Chris raised her head, realizing something. "Did you hear that?"

"Keep this off the channel." Tsubasa said.

"We can do this." Chris said.

"Um, mind filling us on the plan here." I said as both me and Hibiki had no idea what the two were talking about…and why were they looking at Hibiki?

(Underground)

The whole room shook as Finé continued to fire beams of destruction, causing massive damage that shook everything.

"Everyone, hang in there!" Ogawa said as he protected the little girl and her mom from some rubble.

"Will the cool girl and the superhero be okay?" The little girl asked Miku.

Miku nodded. "They will. Count on it."

"The Red Dragon of Revelations…" Genjuro said as he looked at Finé's new form. "The scarlet woman, Babalon. In the legends, she is the harbinger of destruction, Ryoko…"

(Surface)

"You want Hibiki to wield the Durandal?" I said after what the girls just told us. I turned to Hibiki and asked, "Can you do it? The last time you held that thing, you went berserk."

"I…I can do it! We all can do it!" Hibiki said.

Tsubasa and Chris smirked before we turned back to the red dragon.

"First, we need to clear an opening." Tsubasa said.

"So you need an opening?" We all jumped in surprise and turned to see Psyga in the air with us. Seriously, how does he do that!? "We can do that."

"We?" I repeated before he pointed down to the hooded man. I looked down and saw him take out…No! Way! "Bakana!"

STANDING BY

"Henshin."

COMPLETE

A golden light drew everyone's attention as the light died down and in the place of the hooded man was a black and gold armored Rider. The bodysuit was black with gold lines. His chest armor was black as gold lines all circled around a red sphere in the center of the armor as underneath the armor was light silver armor as a black and gold mantle was hanging from the back. The shoulder pads were the same color as well as being broad and bulky carrying red spheres of their own. A black and gold belt was wrapped around his waist and held another black and gold cloak around his legs. Finally, his helmet was mostly black with a silver mouth piece, a red visor that goes up to the forehead along with a crown or fan-like design at the top, gold lines running along the edge and around the visor. All in all, the Rider's form was majestic.

"Another Rider!?" Chris said in surprise.

"Who the hell are you?" Finé demanded, sounding a bit surprised.

"Ore wa, Kamen Rider…Orga!" The now identified Orga said, rolling his shoulders.

"It can't be. Kamen Rider Orga…here!?" I said. First it was Pysga and now Orga!? What's next, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma!?

"You know that Rider?" Tsubasa asked.

"He's like Pysga, a Rider from a world where Orphnoch's rule over humanity." I said before turning to Pysga. "Talk."

"No can do." Pysga said. "But for now, just let us help. You can't expect us to just sit on the side lines forever while the crazy bitch destroys the city. We live there too."

"…Alright, you can help." I said. "Tsubasa, Chris, we'll create the opening. You focus on getting the Durandal away from Finé."

"Leave it to us!" Chris said.

"Alright, let's go!" I said as me and Psyga flew down while I typed: 143.

BLADE MODE

With the blade of Photon Energy replacing the barrel again, I wasted no time pressed ENTER as Psyga opened his Phone and did the same. And down below, Orga, with his signature weapon, the SB-0002 Orga Stlanzer in Long Sword mode, opened up his Phone and pressed ENTER as well.

EXCEED CHARGE

EXCEED CHARGE

EXCEED CHARGE

"Photon Breaker!"

"Colbert Smash!"

"Orga Stlash!"

Orga's giant energy blade struck first, hitting the shield that protected Finé as the attack actually sent the huge dragon back. Psyga struck next, his kick hitting the shield as the blue cone landing right next to the energy blade and drilled into the shield. Finally, I came in last as I trusted the blade forward and then…

*BOOM!*

And explosion occurred the second my blade met the point between both Rider's attack, causing an explosion and big enough hole to form as me and Pysga entered the hole with Chris soon following. Boy did Finé look surprised to see us.

"Special delivery, bitch!" The three of all said at the same time as me and Psyga moved out of the way of Chris in order for her to fire a barrage of energy missiles all over the room, covered the place in smoke. With no choice, Finé opened her shields to get rid of the smoke only to be greeted by Tsubasa who had an extra, extra enlarged sword as he swung it with all her might despite the size and sent a stronger version of her attack.

Destroyer Azure Flash

The attack got in and explosions occurred from inside the dragon as from the smoke, the Durandal was seen flying out from the smoke.

"That sword's the key!" Tsubasa said.

"Grab it, Hibiki!" I shouted as I spun and kicked the sword towards her.

With a look of determination, Hibiki went and caught the golden sword by the handle.

"The Durandal!" Finé said, realizing that it was no longer in her hands.

(BGM: Synchrogazer by Mizuki Nana)

To my extreme worry, black shadows appeared on Hibiki before she took her berserk form one again as her angels wings turned into black devil wings.

"Shit! She's going berserk again!" I said as the energy from Hibiki almost blew me away.

(Underground)

"This is bad!" The male operator said once he saw Hibiki going berserk again.

Suddenly, Miku got up and went to the door.

"Where are you going?" Ogawa asked.

"I'm going to the surface!" Miku said.

"That's crazy! It's too dangerous!" The female operator said.

"Hibiki will always be Hibiki to me." Miku said. "She'll always watch out for her friends and me. I want to support her so she doesn't fall into the darkness again. I swore I wouldn't just stand helplessly by while she fights. If I don't support her now, then who will!?"

Everyone was silent after Miku's speech before Genjuro got up.

"Then I guess we better hurry on up there." Genjuro said.

(Surface)

"This could be bad." Psyga said as he raised the blasters of his jetpack, but I stopped him.

"Lay a finger on her and you'll be sorry!" I growled, gripping his arm.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Okay, calm down!" Psyga said as he pulled away from me when suddenly, one of the shelters below opened up and appearing out of it was Miku, Genjuro, and the others!

"Minna!" I said in surprise and relief, glad that they were okay.

"This is a battlefield! You can't afford to waver!" Genjuro shouted over to Hibiki who was struggling to stay in control.

"Focus on yourself!"

"Remember who you are!"

"Remember what you want to become!"

"Don't give in, Tachibana." Tsubasa said as she and Chris flew over to her. "Show us what you can do on your own two feet!"

"We believe in you! That's why we're putting everything on the line!" Chris said. "What's gonna happen if you don't believe in yourself!?"

"Cool girl, you can do it!"

"Don't give in!"

"Keep fighting!"

"You infuriating worms!"All healed up, Finé turned her attention to the girls. "I'll silence you once and for all!" With that said, tentacles sprouted from the red dragon and went after them . But…

"Saseru ka!" All three of us Rider shouted as we went to intercept them. But how was Orga gonna-?

BATTLE MODE

Suddenly, Orga's bike transformed into a metal skull horse with skeleton wings. Getting on, boosters ignited and Orga took to the skies…That's new.

Shaking off my surprise, I sliced any tentacles that got close to the girls, Psyga shot down any that got near me, and Orga, to my surprise again, took out from his bike two high-tech sawed-off double barreled shot guns and shot down any tentacles that got near Psyga. Okay, seriously, who the hell gave all this equipment to this guy?

"Hibiki!" Miku's voice rang the loudest as Hibiki in her berserk state seemed to respond and soon, all the shadows over her were gone, reutnring her to normal as her angels wings sprouted once again. And then, the Durandal glowed as Hibiki and the girls held up the golden blade.

"I think now would be a good time to move." Orga spoke for all of us as we all flew out of the way. Me and Psyga flew to the left while Orga flew down and scooped up Kanade.

"Where did she get that power!?" Finé exclaimed, looking at the girls in disbelief.

"Did I not just tell you?" I said. "This power was granted to her from her friends!"

"You do know that sounded corny, right?" Psyga said.

"Shut it!" I said. "Hibiki! Do it!"

"Take this!" Hibiki shouted and roared with all her might as she and the girls brought down the golden blade.

Synchrogazer

The golden Tran-Am Riser-like move swung down and struck the red dragon as well as the remains of the Kadingir as the dragon's whole form started to bubble.

"The power of two complete Relics locked in a battle to the death…" Everyone heard Finé via telepathy as the whole golden blade disappeared in an instant. "What's wrong, Nehushtan!? Regenerate! I will not be destroyed!"

"This is…" Psyga began.

"Checkmate…" Orga continued.

"For you, Finé!" I finished as the whole dragon exploded into a giant mushroom cloud. On the bright side, at least it's not a Nuclear Explosion. God knows that Japan has had enough of that.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

(BGM End)

(Hours Later)

After everything that happened, everything had finally calmed down as the sun began to set. At the city, the underground shelters opened up and people started coming out to see the damage down to the city. I'm surprised the whole city was still standing after the damage we had done. As for us…

"I still say we should kill her." I said, still in Blaster form, as Hibiki had dragged Finé out of the pile of carbon and supported her, bringing her over to us.

"Why do you…persist with…" Finé muttered, battered and damaged as the Nehushtan armor was silver in color again than its previous gold color.

"Hibiki, you screwball…" Chris said.

"I get that a lot." Hibiki said as she set Finé down on a slab of stone she could sit on. "Even my friends tell me I'm weird. Let's end this here, Ms. Ryoko.

"I am Finé."

"But Ms. Ryoko is Ms. Ryoko." Hibiki said. "I'm sure we can still understand each other." Trying to make friends out of the enemy…You still surprise me, Hibiki.

"…The Noise were created by mankind in ancient times." Finé said, getting up as she walked forward. "We lost our common tongue, but rather join our hands in unity, we raised them in war. How can mankind ever hope to understand each other?"

"So it's true…People made the Noise…" Hibiki said.

"I had no choice, but to tread this path!" Finé said, holding up one of her whips.

"Oi!" Fearing a fight, me and Chris got ourselves ready, but Tsubasa and Orga stopped us.

We all waited in silence, waiting for something to happen. For someone to speak. It was Hibiki who broke the silence.

"We can understand each other. It's more than just words that connect us together."

We all waited for a reply from Finé. And tht reply was quickly turning around and sending her whip at Hibiki.

Acting first, I sped towards the ancient priestess as well as Hibiki. I swung my Faiz Blaster still in Blade Mode, but when I saw Hibiki stopping her attack, I held back my attack as the blade as an inch close to Finé's neck.

"I shall be victorious!" Finé said as her eyes were on us. Me and Hibiki realized this and looked at where her whip was going.

It was heading towards the moon.

With great strength I did not expect, the ground beneath Finé cracked and gave out as she pulled with all her might, destroyed almost all of her armor as soon, the broken piece of the moon was getting bigger and bigger. She pulled it towards the Earth!

"I'll bring down the shard of the moon and lay waste to all you vermin who dared stand in my way! Though my body may die here, my soul will live on!" Right before my eyes, not only was the rest of the Nehushtan armor falling off of her, but so was her body, as if her whole entire body was a fake all along. "As long as the Relics retain the potential to emit an Aufwachen Waveform, I will be reborn time and time again! No matter the place! No matter the time! The next time I set foot on this Earth, I shall unite it!"

"Kisama!" I was about to end her right then and there, but Hibiki stopped me.

"I am the timeless priestess, frozen in an eternal moment, Finé!"

*tap*

Finé immediately stopped talking the second Hibiki's fist tapped her chest. A wind blew as Hibiki spoke.

"That's right. Wherever, whenever your next life may be…Please pass on this message for me." Hibiki said. "You don't need strength to unite the world. We can become one, beyond the limit of words! Even in the future, we can join our hands in unity!"

"Hibiki…" Damn. Just how much is this girl going to surprise me and make me smile?

"I won't be there to tell them myself. But you can, Ryoko." Hibiki said.

"Don't tell me…" Finé seemed to have realized something.

"But before I can entrust the future to you, I must protect the present." Hibiki said.

That tone, that face…Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But I will not be fooled for a third time!

"You really are a hopeless child." Finé-no, her eyes were no longer golden cat eyes. They were Ryoko's purple eyes. She tapped the spot where Hibiki's scar was and said, "Believe in the song of your heart." And with that, Ryoko smiled and turned to dust.

Tears were held back while others simply let them fall. As for me, I went to the Auto Vajin and set down the Faiz Blaster before grabbing the Faiz Guitar. The minute I had it in my hands, info appeared in my helmet, telling me all the functions of the weapon that I didn't know about.

"What are you going to do?" Orga, who was leaning against his bike, asked.

"The only thing I can do." I said.

"I've calculated the trajectory." The male operator said, having done calculations from a terminal. "It seems collision is unavoidable."

"Well that sucks." Psyga said.

The girls all looked at the falling shard of the moon before Hibiki stepped forward.

"Hibiki?" Miku spoke up, wondering what her friend was doing.

"I'll stop it somehow." Hibiki said, turning to Miku with a face that told me what she was planning. She then smiled and said, "I'll be back. So don't give up on living!"

"Sorry, not gonna happen." I said as I strung some strings, getting everyone's attention.

"Haru?" Hibiki tilted her head in confusion.

"Why are playing a guitar at a time like this?" Chris asked.

I didn't answer as I just kept on playing the soft tune of the guitar. Everyone just continued to look at me in confusion as to why I was playing the guitar when I should be worry about the shard of the moon falling towards Earth. I never answered as I just kept playing.

I soon got what I wanted when Hibiki and the girls fell to their knees.

"Minna!?" Kanade said in surprise.

"What's…happening…?" Tsubasa said as she and the others had a hard time keeping their eyes open.

"So…sleepy…" Hibiki muttered as she and the others soon fell to the floor.

"What are you doing to them!?" Genjuro asked as he, Kanade, and Miku checked the girls to see if they were alright.

"Hypnotic sound." I finally spoke up as I continued playing. "I can choose how many people in a 20 meter area to slowly fall asleep just from listening to this."

"Why…are…you…?" Chris fought to keep her eyes open, but it was too late as she and the others were caught in my song.

"Did you really think I would let you girls sacrifice yourself to take out the moon?" I said. I had no doubt that the girls would have followed after Hibiki who had planned to sacrifice herself to destroy the moon shard. "I've seen too many people die. I'm not about to let you three join them. So sleep, have nice dreams…and leave everything to me."

"Ha…ru…" Hibiki muttered before she and the others fell asleep. After a few more minutes to make sure they were sound asleep, I stopped and set the Faiz Guitar.

"What are you planning?" Kanade asked.

"Well, if the girls are angels, then I'll just be a messiah." I said, repeating what Orga had said to me.

"How are you gonna get up there?" Psyga asked. "The last time I checked, Faiz doesn't have the flight capabilities to get into space."

"The Photon Field Floater constantly releases Photon Energy to help me fly. I have an idea." I said as I went and grab the Faiz Blaster.

"Miku."

"Yes?"

"If I don't make it back from this…tell the girls…"

"Tell them…?"

"Tell them…Tell them that I had a lot of fun with them." I turned and smiled at the group. "I haven't smiled so much so much in a long time. Tell them…to keep on living. Tell them to keep on dreaming and to achieve those dreams. And also, tell them…thanks for everything."

"Haru…" Tears flowed down from Miku's eyes as Psyga went and placed a comforting hand on her shoulders.

"Do you really think Tsubasa and the others want this!?" Kanade said. "You preach on about not letting themselves be sacrificed, but what about you!?"

"He's a hypocrite. He's always been like that." Orga said, placing a hand on Kanade. "Always acting on emotion, that's what makes Haru…Haru."

"You sound like you know me." I said. "Who are you really?"

"…Tōrisugari no Kamen Rider da, oboeteoke." Oh, he got me good.

"Touché." I said before holding up the Faiz Blaster and typing in: 5246 and pressed ENTER.

FAIZ BLASTER TAKE OFF

My feet left the ground as floated up and then took off. I kept rising and rising until I was finally above the clouds. That's when I pressed ENTER once again.

EXCEED CHARGE

Light traveled though the Photon Veins until then entered the Field Floater and the amount of Photon Energy it was releasing grew, sending me up like a rocket as I gritted my teeth when my body started to feel cold. I wonder if this is how Iron Man felt when he flew for the first time. But suddenly, my Photon Veins all lit up and the ice that was forming on me started to melt. Huh, didn't know they could do that. Anyway, I continued to rocket forward until I was now over the Earth itself. I was in space. And since I'm still breathing air, that means this suit is part space suit. Neat!

Resisting the urge to shout, 'Uchu Kita,' I flew towards the moon shard, now closer.

"This may not be my world, but I'll protect it all the same!" I said as shifted the Faiz Blaster into my left hand and typed: 5576 and pressed ENTER.

FAIZ POINTER PUT INTO MOTION

Next: 5532.

FAIZ POINTER EXCEED CHARGE

Light traveled to the Faiz Pointer that I had attached to the metal brace before I pressed ENTER again.

EXCEED CHARGE

A red blade of Photon energy appeared around the blade. Everything was now ready. Holding up the Faiz Blaster, I threw it towards the moon shard and it struck there.

"rrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" A shockwave of energy appeared from me before I rocketed towards the shard and kicked, my foot glowing as my kicking foot struck the Faiz Blaster and my vision was soon filled with red.

(Three Weeks Later)

Rain. It matched the mood and feelings of three girls. At a bus stop were five girls, 3/5 of them did not seem to mind being soaked to the bone. The two who had bothered to carry an umbrella, Miku Kohinata and Kanade Amou looked at Hibiki and the others in worry.

Hibiki held a bouquet of flowers as she, Tsubasa, and Chris all looked like their souls had been ripped right out of them. Miku and Kande didn't blame them for being like that.

A bus soon appeared and pulled over, allowing the five to get on. The driver didn't ask where they wanted to go. Just from looking at the flowers in Hibiki's hands was all the driver needed to know where these girls were heading to.

Three weeks. Three weeks have passed since Haru went to destroy the shard of the moon. Everyone saw red in the sky that day. It was like a red star of destruction…yet it was also hope. Orga, Psyga, and the Crane Orphnoch had taken their leave once the sky was lit red. The day after that, Hibiki and the others had awoken and when they were told what happened, they didn't want to believe it and raced out of the hospital before anyone could stop them. Chris had led the girls to Haru's apartment, but found that the whole place had been destroyed from their fight with Finé as all that was awaiting them at the rubble was Chaco, somehow having escaped the building and lived. It had taken most of the day to find them as they had searched as far as they could before they were told that a search party was being conducted. Of course, they joined in. Day after day, they looked for the Rider, and fought Noise that appeared from time to time, but after the first week, their determination started to crumble. Day after day, their hopes were breaking bit by bit until after two weeks, the searched had stopped and Haru was labeled KIA.

With the realization that Haru was dead, the three just…fell. A grave had been made for Haru, but he wasn't in there. That was where the girls were heading to now. As details about him being a Kamen Rider were secret, only his name was on it as well as a single picture. As the info about Relics were secret as well, a cover story had been made to explain why the whole city was in rubble after a battle with Noise. The cover was a government secret weapon.

Hibiki and Miku didn't really get why all the fuss over it, but Hibiki just wanted to see Haru's face, even if it was just a picture she gave to Genjuro and Miku wanted to be there for Hibiki and everyone as Kanade had the same reason as her.

The bus came to a stop as the five got off at the cemetery. The building was destroyed as the sidewalks were still wrecked. Not only that, but the sight of hundreds of grave stones just made the whole place gloomy.

"You...idiot!" Hibiki said between sobs as she stared at the picture. "Why...did you have...to go die for us!"

Kanade brought Tsubasa and Chris into a comforting hug as they released the flood gates on her while Miku placed a hand on her best friend's shoulder.

"We want to see you...it's so unfair that...we can't." Hibiki said before shouting up into the sky. "HARU!"

More tears were shed as Miku brought her friend into a hug as the rain poured down harder than before as if reflecting the held in grief of the girls that are now just releasing it.

"Hibiki…" Miku hated to see her friend like this. She knew how much she loved Haru. After all, he had been there for her after the incident two years ago. She knew that was when Hibiki had developed a crush for the Rider.

"Hibiki, listen. That includes Tsubasa and Chris too." Miku said. "Haru wanted me to tell you something he said if he didn't make it back." That got their attentions as they turned their tear filled eyes to her. "He wanted me to tell you…that he had a lot of fun with you guys. He told me he wanted you to keep on living. He told me that he wanted you to keep on dreaming and to achieve those dreams. And also, he wanted me to tell you…that he's thankful for everything you did."

"He…said all that?" Hibiki asked and Miku nodded.

Suddenly…

*SCREECH! CRASH!*

"Help!" A scream was heard not too far from them.

The owner of the scream was a young woman. She was lucky to survive crashing her car into a pole, but she wasn't so lucky that both sides were blocked by a group of Noise . But her luck turned around when Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris all appeared, donned in their Symphogear, and landed right in front of her.

"Miku! Kanade! Get this woman to safety!" Tsubasa said.

"I'll blast these things to tiny pieces!" Chris said, ready to rumble.

"Stay safe!" Miku said as she and Kanade led the woman to safety.

"We won't give up." Hibiki said as she went and punched a Noise, destroying it. "We'll never give up!"

In seconds, the girls took down the Noises. It wasn't hard for them really. Just when they were about to turn back into the civilian forms, a scream from the same woman alert them. They jumped towards the Noise and up high; they saw that Miku and Kanade were protecting the woman from another group of Noises. The woman was knocked unconscious and Kanade was cursing herself mentally for leaving the Kaixa Gear back with Genjuro and the others.

"Shit! There was more of them!" Chris said as she and the others landed not too far from them and were about to move to save the three…when it happened.

START UP

Cones of red Photon Energy appeared above each and every Noise that got near Miku and Kanade and quickly crashed down upon them, making small explosions. Just the sight alone made everyone freeze in shock for there was only one person they knew who could do such a thing.

TIME OUT

"Whew! Close one." I said as I came to a stop and flicked my wrist before turning to Miku and Kanade. "You two okay?"

"Ha…Haru? Is that…you?" Miku said in disbelief.

"Of course it's me." I said as I took out the Phone and pressed END, canceling the transforming and returning to civilian form. "Man, have I had the crappiest luck. I mean, you search for three weeks and you still can't find a decent apartment."

Three lights caught my attention and I turned to see Hibiki and the others.

"Haru…" Hibiki muttered in disbelief.

"Yo, Hibiki, Tsubasa, Chris." I said as I took a deep breath and let it out. "Okay, now I know you girls are probably mad at me for being out of contact for three weeks and you probably want to punch me right now. I deserve it so go ahead, I can take it."

"You…" Shadows covered the girl's eyes as they approached me. I closed my eyes, preparing myself for the beat down that was to come. "You…You…You…!"

'Here it comes!' I thought as I squeezed my eyes shut, ready for when the first punch would be thrown. I got something else.

"You're alive!"

"Wah!" I cried out in surprise, fall to the wet ground on my back as I opened my eyes and saw all three girls on top of me, crying their eyes you.

"You're alive! You're alive! You're alive!" Hibiki kept repeating as she hugged me.

"Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!" Chris kept saying that as she gripped my shirt.

"You're okay! I'm…so glad…!" Tsubasa said, gripping my jacket.

I blinked in surprise before I smiled and wrapped my arms around all of them.

"Sorry for making you worry." I said as I just gazed up into the sky. Rain clouds were starting to clear and the sun let down its warm rays upon us.

(Nighttime)

"Come on, Haru! Hurry up!" Hibiki said as she and Miku ran off.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming. Hold your horses." I said as I slowly walked after the two. Soon, the two came to a stop.

"Right here! This is the best spot to watch the shooting stars!" Hibiki said, pointing to the ground.

"I'm so excited!" Miku said, smiling brightly.

"Don't get too excited you two. Save it for when the shootings stars appear." I said before sitting down on the ground.

"I don't think I'll be able to save my excitement! I finally get to watch the stars with Miku!" Hibiki said as she suddenly sat down on my lap.

"Hey! Get off! You're not a kid, Hibiki." I said.

"You said you'd do anything we wanted today to make up for not contacting us for three weeks." Hibiki reminded me. I had to cook for Chris and Chaco while I promised to sleep in Tsubasa's room for tonight. Why she wanted me to sleep in her and Kanade's room was beyond me. "So I want to sit on your lap and you can't say no to it."

I sighed. "Fine. Whatever." Something moving caught my attention and I looked up into the sky and saw shooting starts staring to rain down. I'll be honest, it was a beautiful sight.

"Kirei…" Both Hibiki and Miku said at the same time as Miku sat next to me.

"Wow." Was all I could say as I found myself looking at the moon for a moment before looking away. What was that about?

"Haru…" I looked down at Hibiki.

"What?"

Hibiki opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She then closed it and leaned against my chest, saying, "Never mind."

I raised an eyebrow at this, but I didn't ask what she was going to say as I looked up and enjoyed the shooting starts with Hibiki and Miku. I simply smiled and wondered what the future held for us now.

Well, as long I'm here, as long Hibiki and the others were here, I'm sure the future will be a good one.

And done! Oh my god! I did it! I finished the season finale! WhooHooo! Yeah! Oh my god! I just started this yesterday and finished this today! Crazy! It's a Summer Miracle!

Ahem! Sorry about that. Got excited. But anyway, with this, we have finally finished the first season of KR Faiz: Song of Paradise! Wow, I can't believe I finished this in only two days. Must be the fact that I have to go back to school tomorrow. Yes, I will be going back to school tommrow as my unpdates will no longer be as fast as it was this summer. The chapter was shorter than I planned, but it was good none the less. I hope you all loved it as I tried my best to make this good. Anyway, with this, Faiz Haru has finished the first season of his adventure with the girls. But this is not the end. Next season, Haru and the others will now have to face enemies that use the same powers as the girls, Symphogear! Not only that, but Smart Brain is still standing and will no doubt cause trouble in the future. But that's not all! There is some history between these new enemies and Orga and his crew. What is the connection? How will they affect the story?

You'll people will just have to find out in Kamen Rider Faiz: Song of Paradise-Second Verse! Until then, this has been Ashbel Longhart and thank you for reading. Until the next ride!
