Gaiden - Subject 02: Hibiki Tachibana

The Edge Chronicles Gaiden – Subject 02: Hibiki Tachibana

By Kaisai (kaisai134)

Story contains increased beauty, female muscle growth, breast expansion, and giantess growth.

The scene opens up with an empty stage. A spotlight turns on and a microphone can be seen in the center. In the background, a black screen displaying sound equalizer bars that are moving in rhythm to Nana Mizuki’s “Synchrogazer” can be seen. Kaisai runs out to the center from stage left. He stops in front of the microphone, looking back to his left out of breath.

“This is a broadcast of the Fanfiction Warning System. The following you are about to read is a fanfic. All of the characters who appear in this story are creations and sole property of the group Project Symphogear. This story takes place in between the first and second season of the series Senki Zesshou Symphogear. Thank you. This has been a broadcast of the Fanfiction Warning System.”

Kaisai runs away from the microphone exiting stage right. A huge wave of Noise can be seen chasing after him.

It has been almost two months since the battle to save the world from destruction by Finé destroying the moon. The members of the 2^nd Division Mobile Disaster Response Corps have been busy training together in case the spirit of Finé would be resurrected in another one of her descendants like Ryouko Sakurai. Currently the three relic users, bearers of the powered armor known as Symphogear, can be seen dressed in gym outfits jogging up a hill.

In the lead is Hibiki Tachibana. She is 16 years old, a cheerful, energetic, hot-blooded girl with short cream colored hair, orange eyes, about 157 cm tall, a generous bust, and athletic build. She is the bearer of the armor Gungnir.

“Hey! In about two more kilometers we will have broken our current record! Let’s keep on going full speed forward!! CHARGE!!!” shouts Hibiki.

In second, not too far behind Hibiki is Tsubasa Kazanari. She is the oldest of the three at 18 years old. Tsubasa is a popular singer, formerly of the duo Zwei Wing. She is the calm, serious type with medium length blue hair with a short ponytail on top of her head, sharp blue eyes, about 166 cm tall, modest bust and slender build. She bears the Ame no Habakiri armor.

“Yes Tachibana, let us continue towards our immediate goal that is right in front of us.”  Tsubasa acknowledges the challenge.

Pulling up the rear a few meters behind Tsubasa, huffing and puffing, is Chris Yukine. Chris is the same age as Hibiki. She is a tsundere with a short temper, short white with a purple hue hair with four very long pigtails that run down her back, fierce dark purple eyes, stands around 154 cm, a large bust and has a slender build. Prior to joining the 2^nd Division, she worked for Finé and fought against Hibiki and Tsubasa, until finding out she lied to her. She has the Ichaival armor.

“Oh for crying out loud let’s take a break! I don’t think I can move another damn inch!!” Chris complains.

“Come on Chris-chan! We’re almost there! The top of the hill is right in our sight!” Hibiki chirps.

“Yukine, how will we ever be ready for battle when the time comes if we do not face our adversity straight ahead.” Tsubasa adds in.

“FULL SPEED AHEAD!!! KYEEAAAHHHHHH!!” Hibiki screams breaking out into a run.

Tsubasa starts running as well to keep up with Hibiki. Chris stops dead in her tracks.

“Wait a minute you guys!!! Kiiiiii!!!!!! THIS IS WHY I CAN’T STAND YOU TWO!!” Chris shouts out of breath.

Chris breaks out running, breathing harder than before.

The three girls finally make it to the top of the hill. They all sit down on the ground and take a break. Hibiki and Tsubasa sit, while Chris just collapses.

“Whew! That was a workout. Thanks Tsubasa-san for seeing this hill. It added a whole new level of difficulty to our regular routine!” Hibiki compliments out of breath.

“I saw this hill yesterday when we were training and figured it would be a good challenge for all of us.” Tsubasa replies, also out of breath.

“*gasp*Did we *gasp* REALLY need *gasp* another challenge!?*gasp*” Chris retorts from the ground.

“But Chris-chan! We have to be in top physical shape when we fight!”

“*gasp*Speak for your damn self!*gasp*I’m just fine blasting everything to Hell and back!*gasp*”

“But wildly firing missiles and attacks in each direction is childish and sloppy. A true attack must be straight and precise, like the blade of a sword.”

Hibiki stands up.

“And now that we are rested, let’s run back the way we came!” Hibiki proclaims pointing in the direction towards the base.

Chris leans up from the ground.

“You can’t be serious… We just made it to the top here and only rested a few minutes!”

Tsubasa stands up.

“That sounds like a great plan Tachibana. Let’s go.”

Tsubasa starts to take off down the hill.

“Tsubasa-san wait up! C’mon Chris-chan you know they say it is easier to go down than it is to go up a hill!!”

Hibiki follows behind.

“… Those two are going to be the death of me… HEY!! WAIT FOR ME DAMNIT!!!”

Chris prys herself up from the ground and chases after the others.

The three of them make it back to base where Commander Genjuurou Kazanari is waiting for them. He is the head of the 2^nd Division and Tsubasa’s uncle. Hibiki trains under him as a fighter and he is Chris’ guardian.

“Well done girls! You completed that run in only an hour. Here, I have these for you as something to help you recover.”

Genjuurou hands each of them a bottle.

“Thank you very much Master!!” Hibiki takes the bottle from his hand.

“Thank you.” Tsubasa accepts the bottle.

“*gasp**gasp**gasp*Thanks.” Chris snatches the bottle from his hand.

Tsubasa takes a look at the bottle as Hibiki and Chris both start opening theirs.

“What is Enerjuice?” She asks.

“It appears to be a new sports drink that is getting ready to go on market. They gave us some samples to try out.”

Hibiki takes a big gulp of the orange-colored drink.

“Mmmmmm!! It’s really tasty!! Tastes like orange juice! My favorite!!”

Hibiki starts drinking the drink faster.

Chris takes a big swig of her red drink.

“KECK!! TASTES LIKE SWEAT JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER SPORTS DRINK!! I’m gonna be sick!”

Chris continues drinking the drink.

Tsubasa opens up her bottle of blue liquid and draws a sip from it.

“Hmm. Not bad, but not great either.”

She proceeds to drink the rest of it.

After they are through drinking their drinks, they throw the bottles away.

“Wow! I’m just brimming full of energy right now after drinking that!” Hibiki exclaims with her eyes glowing brighter orange.

“And how is that any different from you naturally?” Chris retorts, not noticing the red glow from her purple eyes. “Strangely I don’t feel exhausted anymore.”

“It definitely leaves you with an invigorating feeling after drinking it. I think it will become a very popular drink.” Tsubasa comments, with her blue eyes glowing even more brilliant blue.

“Sounds like everyone liked it. Good! I will let the company know about your comments. Go ahead and get changed. You are done for the rest of the day, go enjoy yourselves!”

Genjuurou leaves heading back into the base.

“Thanks Master!! Now I can keep my date with Miku to go watch the stars. This time she won’t be mad at me.”

“I have a dress rehearsal for my next concert to go attend.”

“And I am just going to go home and do absolutely nothing but relax!”

Hibiki turns to Chris

“That sounds lonely Chris-chan. Why don’t you come sightseeing with Miku and me!! Miku has been asking about how you are doing lately.”

“No! No thanks! I just want to relax! But, if you don’t mind…”

Hibiki grabs Chris’s hand.

“C’mon!! Let’s go meet up with Miku!!”

Hibiki starts running dragging Chris along.

“Hey! Wait!! I didn’t say I would!! Stop it Hibiki!!! STOOOOPPP!!!!”

Genjuurou walks back into the war room where everyone is sitting at a computer working. Shinji Ogawa, one of the division’s top agents and Tsubasa’s manager watches as he returns.

“So, you went on ahead and gave them those drinks?” He asks.

“Yes. We will see what happens to them next time they have to fight.”

“Do you think it was wise to give it to them? Remember where those drinks came from.”

“I know. But something inside tells me that she meant it to help them, before succumbing to Finé.” Genjuurou grasps a paper within his pocket and pulls it out.

He reads over the note left one more time. Ryouko’s voice can be heard.

Hi!! I was studying on ways to improve the phonic gain of their Symphogear and created these drinks for them. When they ingest these drinks, it should increase the powers of their relics exponentially! Only something that the great and talented Ryouko Sakurai could come up with! Enough was made so if they would need a big boost during multiple fights as the Noise gets stronger. About 12 bottles for each. Be very careful! It is unknown how much power they could be wielding after drinking these super drinks!! Especially our dear, lovely Hibiki-chan!! Love Ryouko!

“Well Commander, I trust your judgment. But I have to say one thing… Enerjuice?” Shinji questions.

“It’s the only thing I could think of at the time!”

“It sounds like a corny name from one of those movies you like.”

“You have a point there.” Genjuurou sweatdrops.

“I have to get going, Tsubasa has a dress rehearsal here in an hour.” Shinji says while putting on his glasses.

“Alright. Keep a close eye on her will you for me, please.” Genjuurou asks.

“Of course. If anything happens, I will let you know immediately.” Shinji replies.

A few hours pass by without incident. Suddenly the Noise Alarm goes off.

“Noise presence detected! It is located 10 km from where Lydian was located!” One of the workers calls out.

“Right. Organize the evacuation of the city! And send out the distress signal!” Genjuurou commands.

*Looks like we’re going to see what happens today Ryouko.*

Hibiki and Chris are sitting out on a blanket with Hibiki’s roommate and best friend Miku Kohinata. They are laughing and enjoying sitting out and watching the stars.

“You see Hibiki, that constellation there is the Big Dipper, it is part of Ursa Major.” Miku points out.

“Ursa Major… I should know this… Umm… Hold on! Don’t tell me! I can get this one!!” Hibiki pleads.

“It’s a bear you dumbass.” Chris says under her breath.

“Ah! Bear!! That one is the big bear! The mama bear!” Hibiki responds triumphantly.

“Right. And if you follow the top of it to the tail of the Little Dipper, you have the North Star. Which always stays in the same position no matter where you go.”

“So you can always use it to find your way home…”

Chris cracks a smile at the scene. Suddenly Chris and Hibiki’s alarms go off.

“Uh oh. Miku… I’m sorry but…” Hibiki looks at Miku sad.

“I understand Hibiki. You and Chris go and protect everyone. That’s what you are supposed to do. Just come back safe.”

“Thank you Miku!!” Hibiki jumps up from the blanket. “Alright Chris-chan! Let’s get going!” Her eyes glow faintly bright orange.

“You don’t have to tell me twice!” Chris snaps with her eyes faintly glowing red.

Miku notices the two’s eyes.

“Hibiki, have you looked at your eyes lately?” She asks.

“Why? Is something wrong?” Hibiki questions as the glow fades away.

“No, must have just been my eyes seeing things.” Miku disregards what she just saw.

Hibiki and Chris walk over to where a car is waiting for them to take them to the site.

Tsubasa is in her dressing room after the rehearsal when she hears the alarm.

“Ogawa-san.” Tsubasa looks at her manager with her eyes glowing faintly blue.

“I have the car ready to go.”

Both cars arrive at the site of the disturbance within minutes of each other. The three of them step out to a horrific sight. Noise was far as the eye could see. There was not a single area that wasn’t covered in Noise. Unknown to them that the cause was located at the center of the disturbance where Solomon’s Cane was found. The leftover energy from the firing of Kadignir had caused the relic to stay active opening the portal to where the Noise reside. More and more Noise was pouring out of the source.

“Oh my god… look at it.” Hibiki says while looking at the overrun city.

“What could have happened to cause this?” Tsubasa inquires.

“All of that down there is Noise.” Chris adds.

“We must go down there right now and put an end to it!!” Hibiki declares while balling her hand into a fist. “And save whoever did not make it out!!”

“Let us proceed then Tachibana and Yukine!” Tsubasa starts running towards the city in peril.

“Right behind you Tsubasa-san!!!” Hibiki takes off as well.

“We are in for one HELL of a fight!! And we are going to give them HELL!!” Chris exclaims as she runs after the other two.

All three of them stop on the outskirt of the city seeing the mob more up close and personal.

“READY?!” Hibiki calls out.

“Ready!” Tsubasa replies.

“Let’s get this party started!” Chris says.

“Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron” Hibiki chants.

“Imyuteus Ame no Habakiri Tron” Tsubasa sings.

“Killiter Ichaival Tron” Chris chants.

All three girls’ clothes disintegrate and their bodies are surrounded by blinding light. Halos of their respective colors circle around their bodies where the armor is about to materialize.

“!!! Something… is... wrong!!!??” Hibiki shouts as her eyes start glowing bright orange!

“What... is... this... strange… feeling?” Tsubasa cries aloud with her eyes glowing brilliant blue!

“It’s…. Painful… What… Is… Going… ON!!!” Chris screams out eyes shimmering bright red!

The light surrounding their bodies shift to the colors being emitted from their eyes. All three begin to grow.

Hibiki’s body starts gaining height rapidly. Her muscles all over her body pump up greatly. Her arms begin to show clear definition that then start pulsating and growing rapidly. This is followed by her chest which starts expanding at the same pace. Her breasts inflate like balloons, doubling, tripling in size. Her abdomen as it lengthens begins bubbling up blocks, upon blocks of abdominal muscles that swell and tighten. Her legs pulse and expand adding great layers of pure muscle upon muscle. Her quads harden into granite and her calves form into perfect diamonds. Hibiki leans forward gripping her hands tightly together, flexing her large biceps as her back muscles expand and grow at the same time as her glutes swell into hard globes. Hibiki screams as the transformation finishes and her armor Gungnir finally begins to form around her.

Tsubasa is breathing rapidly and takes a deep breath as her body finally starts gaining height. Her muscles build up around her body giving her a well-muscled look. The most noticeable change occurring is her swelling breasts. They continue to inflate until she has a perfect hourglass figure with to complement her expanding muscles and hips. As with Hibiki’s transformation, Tsubasa’s armor Ame no Habikiri begins to form around her new body.

Chris leans forward holding her abdomen in pain. She then feels a shock through her body which causes her to rear back with her arms spread out. It is then that her body starts pulsating all over and growing. She gains height more and more with each pulsation. Her muscles spring to life and become larger and larger. Her arms fill up with powerful muscles. Her already large bust pushes out further and further as her pectorals begin to build larger. At the same time, her bust begins to enlarge more and more each time. Her abdomen pops up with a powerful eight-pack and her legs expand and contract each time growing thicker. Her back muscles expand rapidly and her glutes inflate with muscle and definition. After the last pulsation, Chris screams and the transformation of her armor Ichaival begins and finishes.

After their transformations, the three girls stand there regaining their senses for a minute while singing their corresponding battle songs. All three have grown 30 cm in height. Hibiki is the most muscular of the three with muscles that look like they belong on a championship fighter, full of strength and power. Tsubasa is the leanest but has a well-toned, cut, sleek build that screams speed. She looks like she belongs on the front of a fitness magazine as a model with her perfect figure. Chris is in the middle with a muscular build like an amateur fighter, moderate in size but full of power. Her breasts are even larger than before, but still compliment her new physique.

“What just happened to you two?!” Hibiki shouts looking at the other two. “Tsubasa-san! Chris-chan!! You’re both huge!!”

“Look who’s talking there beefcake! Take a look at yourself first!!” Chris retorts with her chest bouncing.

Hibiki looks down at herself and sees her large muscles.

“Where did these muscles come from?!?” Hibiki screams as she flexes her right bicep.

“Something was different about our transformations this time. Our bodies transformed as well as our armor.” Tsubasa says aloud.

“It’s strange. I feel a lot stronger and better than I have ever felt my entire life! I could run up that damn hill from earlier at least 100 times!” Chris chimes in while flexing both of her arms and grinning.

Hibiki looks in front and sees that the Noise noticed that they are there and currently marching towards them.

“Let’s put our new supercharged bodies to good use! We can figure out what happened later!!” Hibiki shouts drawing back the piston located on her arm.

“Affirmative.”

“Let’s show these Noise what true power is!!” Chris exclaims while cracking her knuckles and grinning evilly.

“LET’S GO!!!!!!! YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” Hibiki cries out as she punches a large Noise right in the stomach. The piston fires and the Noise is sent flying straight through a series of buildings taking out a straight path of smaller ones.

Tsubasa leaps into the air high above the mass of Noise. She tosses her sword down through the air which expands greatly and then kicks it. The screen freezes as a calligraphy scroll unfurls that says Heaven’s Wrath. The scene resumes showing the giant sword flying down to the ground, impaling deep in and exploding all of the Noise surrounding it. Quite a few buildings are demolished in the process.

Chris charges in to the middle of the mob and changes her crossbows into huge Gatling guns the size of her. The screen freezes again as a metal plate with Billion Maiden appears on screen. The scene resumes with her firing the guns rapidly all around spinning laughing in glee. She is also using them to smash Noise with her now highly increased strength into others. More buildings gets demolished in the process.

Hibiki sees a huge group in front of her. The pistons on her legs engage and she sprints towards them at an insane speed, taking pavement with her. She uses the pistons to fire her up into the air creating a small crater.

“TAKE THIS!!!!!”

Hibiki hurtles down to the ground and lands in the middle of the group creating a medium-sized crater and destroying all of the Noise that was there.

Tsubasa does a handstand and begins spinning around wildly as the blades on the sides of her boots spread out. The screen freezes as a calligraphy scroll unfurls that says Wight Slayer. The scene resumes. She spins through a group of large-sized Noise slicing them into ribbons, and through a building.

“Here! Try this new attack I just thought up especially for you, you damn disgusting Noise!” Chris shouts as she stomps, causing the ground to burst open sending another large group flying in the air. She unveils racks, upon racks of missiles with a devious grin. The screen freezes again as a metal plate with Megadeath Party appears on screen. The scene resumes. She fires all 24 missiles at the group. They explode. The shockwave destroys windows and buildings.

Back at the base for the 2^nd Division, up on the screen the carnage can be seen. Hibiki is seen tearing through waves upon waves with brute force shouting at the top of her lungs while proceeding forward. Tsubasa is shown as a blur with sword slashes going everywhere slicing up Noise and scenery alike. Chris is seen utilizing both her new physical strength and projectiles demolishing everything in her path. Buildings can be seen falling down and various scenes of destruction in the barren city.

“Is… Is this what the drink did to them…”Genjuurou watches the screen with a huge sweatdrop.

Ryouko’s voice echoes again from the letter.

Be very careful! It is unknown how much power they could be wielding after drinking these super drinks!!

“The Noise just keep appearing! They aren’t stopping. There appears to be something at the epicenter.” One of the workers states. “It appears to be Solomon’s Cane!!”

“What?! Solomon’s Cane is still out there?!” Genjuurou shouts in exasperation.

We cut back to the battlefield. All three of them are engaged in fending off more and more waves of Noise.

“Where are all of these Noise coming from?!” Hibiki shouts as she blasts another large-sized Noise into the ground sending a large shockwave.

“I don’t know. But they just keep on coming in waves originating from that direction.” Tsubasa comments while continuing to slice through Noise.

“This is starting to get damn annoying now!” Chris complains.

“Girls! We have identified the source of the Noise.” Genjuurou’s voice rings out over their earpieces. “Solomon’s Cane is at the center of it. Find it and disable it!”

“Solomon’s Cane?!” Chris shouts. “But who is using it?!?”

“WE’LL FIND THEM AND PUT A STOP TO THIS!!” Hibiki screams.

“How far away are we from the location of the relic?” Tsubasa inquires.

“Approximately 5 km to the East, near Lydian.” Genjuurou reports.

“Right. We’ll head there right now!” Tsubasa acknowledges.

“FORWARD ON!!! YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

“About damn time!!!”

All three race to the epicenter of the incident. There they find a giant portal from which the Noise are flowing endlessly out of.

“WE FOUND IT!!!” Hibiki shouts.

“Disable the relic!” Genjuurou commands over their earpieces.

“Leave this to me!” Chris says as she runs towards the relic with her crossbows out.

She fires rapidly at the relic hitting it, disabling it. The portal begins to close, but before it is able to close, a very large Noise makes it out. All of the Noise in the area swirl around and merge into the new one turning it into an 8 meter tall giant! The gigantic Noise roars down at the three of them.

“Do you think it’s time to try using that one technique?” Tsubasa looks at the others.

“Yeah!! It’s time!! Hibiki chirps.

“Oh Yeah! Let’s do this!!” Chris shouts as she balls her hand into a fist, flexing her muscles.

The three of them hold hands together, with Hibiki in the middle. All three begin chanting a slow song in unison.

“Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal

Emustolronzen fine el balal zillz

Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal

Emustolronzen fine el zillz”

As they are about to finish the last line, the giant Noise leans down to eat them, but is then pushed back by and explosive release of energy. All three of them are surrounded by massive amounts of energy.

“Swan Song!” Tsubasa shouts.

“Combination Arts!” Chris shouts.

“Cent HARMONICS!!!!” Hibiki shouts in a hot-blooded scream.

Their bodies begin to change again. This time they start growing taller, and taller, bigger, and bigger, larger, and larger until they are three times their previous size. Hibiki can be seen struggling in the middle as she is absorbing the backlash of the Swan Songs. Her teeth have gotten sharper and her canines are lengthening into fangs as she struggles to hold onto her humanity. The energy that was surrounding all three of them begins to die down around Chris and Tsubasa and intensifies around Hibiki, causing her to continue growing. The giant Noise starts backing away in fear of the scene getting ready to try and run. Hibiki stops when she reaches four times her starting powered up height. Her piston on her right arm changes form and draws itself all the way back. She runs straight at the Noise.

“THIS IS…” She starts shouting.

The piston glows as it is ready to fire!

“OUR SWAN SONGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” She belts out as she bashes the Noise with her fist.

The piston discharges, releasing all off the combined energy completely leveling the area in a 10 km radius.

Back at base, everyone is now watching the screen. Everyone watches as the area gets completely wiped off the map. Genjuurou still stands there speechless with multiple sweatdrops now.

Ryouko’s voice echoes again

Especially our dear, lovely Hibiki-chan!!

“Commander. The Prime Minister is on line 2.”

Genjuurou faints.

Later the three of them detransform out of their Gears and return back to normal.

“That was insane!!! I’ve never felt that much power in my life!!!” Hibiki exclaims.

“That was a lot of power. It was hard to control. But with practice, we could make use of it.” Tsubasa says.

“Damnit! I want back that strong body!!” Chris complains. “But yes, that was a freaking amazing amount of power! I don’t think I’ve seen that much destruction from any of us put together! And I’m the one who destroys everything!!”

“I don’t know about you, but I could use another one of those Enerjuice drinks Master gave us earlier!!”

“I think Tachibana is onto something there. I could use that nice invigorating feeling again right now.”

“It tastes like crap but it did get rid of my exhaustion.”

“Okay then! When we get back, let’s ask him for another one!!!” Hibiki shouts excitedly.

Cut scene to show Genjuurou putting all of the bottles in a large metal chest and punching a large 3 meter deep hole in the ground, dumping the chest in it and burying it in cement!!
