Season 1 - Episode 5: From The Bottom of Scorching Depths

灼熱の底の底から

Miku awoke in the middle of the night, expecting to see Hibiki beside her. However, she was surprised to see her childhood friend was not there. "Hibiki?" Miku spoke, hoping for some kind of response as she sat up. Looking around, she came upon a note left by the alarm clock, the handwriting immediately being recognized as Hibiki's. "What's this?" She muttered, picking the note up.

Training. I'll be skipping school. - Hibiki

Later in the morning, Hibiki was in front of a punching bag, doing one of her usual training sessions with her master, Genjuurou Kazanari. Off the side, Takuya stood off to the side with Genjuurou, sipping from a cup of water. The member of A.I.M.S. was there as an extra training partner. "Not like that," Genjuurou said, grabbing her attention away for a moment, "Strike like you're eating thunder and crushing lightning." "I have no idea what that means at all!" Hibiki said, turning back to the punching bag, "But I'll try anyway!" Takuya glanced out the corner of his eyes at Genjuurou, giving him the look of, Did you really think she'd understand that? Hibiki brought her fist back, concentrating for a moment as her heart began to pump harder. At the hint of her increased heart rate, she swung at the punching bag, hitting it and sending it flying into a koi pond. This left Hibiki amazed as both Genjuurou and Takuya looked wide-eyed. Genjuurou then looked at Takuya who simply sighed with a glare in response. The pink-haired soldier then downed his drink and crushed the cup before putting his fists up. "Guess I'll try for real, then!" Takuya said.

Synths rolled across the screen as music began to play. As the beat hit, Synths rose up, displaying various characters. First was Tsubasa, Kanade, and Takuya, the next was Miku, Ryouko, and Takiyama, and then Seth, Chris, and Hibiki. It then quickly showed Ryouko raising the volume before revealing Hibiki atop a rock formation at night. As Hibiki sang, wings sprouted from her back and she took flight into the air.

Listen To My Song...

In the night sky, a shooting star flew across the sky, it gave a bright silhouette of Hibiki with wings before another silhouette appeared alongside Hibiki's, this one being Zero-One. It showed Hibiki's face with orange electricity sparking in her eye before revealing the title.

Boku no koe wa kioete imasu ka? Please tell me...

(Are you hearing my voice? Please tell me...)

It showed Miku in the middle of the field, gazing up at the stars before she reached her hand out, grasping at nothing.

Kotae no nai kyokō no sora mezashi fly far away

(Devoid of answers, I am for the fictional sky and fly far away)

It showed Tsubasa picking up a mic with a picture of her and Kanade. She held it close, closing her eyes for a moment before leaving the room to perform.

Because words aren't enough, accept everything about me)

Hajimete shiru kankaku

(It's the first time I've felt this way)

It then briefly showed the inside of Section Two, revealing Sakuya and Aoi before showing Ryouko, Shinji, Genjuurou, Inei, and Kasai. It then showed Chris as she covered her body and ears, falling into a pit of dismay before she reached out into the light, crying. It then showed Hibiki and Takiyama walking in separate paths to Seth and Miku. Miku then called out to Hibiki, reaching out to her before the four of them were in the Flower with Seth behind the counter. It then showed Hibiki donned in her Symphogear with Takiyama as Zero-One - Rising Hopper behind her. It then flashed between various scenes. The first of which was Durendal, then Finé, Chris as a child before a fire, the silver armor of Nehushtan, the gleaming silver visor of Slipstream, Takuya and Shizuru in the main room of the A.I.M.S base, and then Chris armored in the Nehushtan.
