## Lyrics

We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
 We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
 These speakers can't get louder
Policemen wanna break the crowd up but
When the rhythm hits your feet start shaking like an earthquake gonna tear the ground up
Sirens blare now the cars got draulics bouncing holics
Neighbour balling, roofs are falling, everybody's all in, now it's starting
To get crazy, fall into the groove
 We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
 We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We will dance move our feet until they lose the fight
There is nothing you can't do because you got the right
 We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We gon' party til the moon comes back in sight
We gon' party

 Uh!

Sirens blare now the cars got draulics bouncing holics
Neighbour balling, roofs are falling, everybody's all in, now it's starting
To get crazy, fall into the groove
 This ain't a dream, (Go!)
Surreal to me (Ha, ha, ha)
I'm feeling free (Yeah) to be me... (Come on!)
Uh!
Come on!

## Marziale

* Ignition
* episode G

## Bio

> *"Let's say that, at times, I am privy to certain... information."*
>
>

Marziale is a vampire Noise Beast who lives in a castle in the World of Music that contains a portal to the human world.

She has psychic powers that, combined with Miria's abilities, can predict the future.

## Story

### NOISZ Ignition

In Story A and Story C, Marziale helps the main character return to the human world.

### NOISZ re:||VERSE

If the main character mentions that they remember the forest that they enter the World of Music, Marziale describes Gaius Antiphon's invasion of the World of Music. She feels guilt over how she handled Gaius. She asks the main character not to tell her cousin of her regrets.

### NOISZ episode G

Marziale sends Kristoph to retrieve her cousin Miria, who ran away from the castle. A prophecy describes the first human to visit the World of Music being the one to bring it to ruin. Not wanting to take risks, she attempts to defeat Gaius Antiphon, to no avail. After hearing Gaius out, she allows Miria roam the world if she can come back during a time of need. As a compromise with her cousin, she agrees to send him back to the human world with all memories erased of the World of Music and the tools he used to arrive there.

After Miria performs the ritual, Marziale goes back on her promise and banishes Gaius to the Void. Miria argues with Marziale over this, and begrudgingly, she agrees to let Miria save Gaius. She seals Miria's conceptual form to protect her from rapid aging that exposure to the Void in another world can cause.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage X3

## Story

After the main character threaten Arietta that they will destroy her on either stage 4B or 6B, she accepts the threat. The main character decides to call upon the NOISZ, which is now pulsing with a intense heat, and calling out for destruction. It tries to attack Arietta, but she absorbed the attack with a orange barrier. A girl with white tiger limbs then comes and charges forward at the main character, initiating a fight.

After the fight, Arietta states that she is impressed, but they are at their limit and the strain on the main character's body is too much to handle. The main character realized that even though they did not take a single scratch, they are still filled with immense pain, and could only utter a weak moan when trying to speak out. Arietta then tells them they will put the power to good use, and does something on their tablet and make what's left of the main character begin to fade away.

## Song

Stage EX3's song is Not The Last.

**Restrictions:** True Lunatic only.
NOISZ STΔRLIVHT/COINZ

COINZ operates as an optional stamina system and in-game currency in NOISZ STΔRLIVHT. There are two kinds of COINZ: free COINZ, which refills to full at a rate of 1 COINZ every 5 hours, up to a maximum of 4 free COINZ; and paid COINZ, which can either be purchased in the shop with real money or by watching an ad, up to a limit of 4 ads per day. Free and paid COINZ are displayed as (Free COINZ) + (Paid COINZ) on the bar in the top-right, and free COINZ will always be used first.

Paid COINZ can be purchased at the following rate of US dollars; other currencies have their own conversion rate according to the appropriate app store.

 44

Playing in free play does not require any COINZ, although the player may opt to spend COINZ to obtain extra EXP and drops from completing songs in free play. If the Club Pass has been purchased in a folder, the EXP/drops from each play are increased. The following table gives the EXP/drops given the amount of COINZ spent:

Playing in Challenge Mode and in Events requires spending at least one COINZ. In any case, once a song has been started while spending COINZ, the restart option is disabled and retreating from a song will not refund the COINZ.

It is also used to play Forge of Antiphon; a single playthrough costs 4 COINZ, or 2 using the Dummy Plug option.

## COINZ (Pre-2.000)

Before COINZ were revamped in version 2.000, COINZ were divided into three tiers.

Bronze COINZ were obtained for free and regenerated naturally over time. A maximum of 8 could be held at any given time. They had the same function as Silver COINZ. Bronze COINZ were always used before Silver COINZ.

Silver COINZ could be earned by watching ads, purchasing them in the Shop, or as rewards for completing certain story content. There was no cap on the maximum number of Silver COINZ that could be held at once.

Gold COINZ could only be obtained by purchasing them in the Shop. Gold COINZ function like lower tiers of COINZ, in addition to granting 2x EXP and drops when used.

Before version 2.000, without owning Club Passes and/or VIP Passes, all difficulties above Easy required COINZ to play. Like COINZ in version 2.000 and beyond, COINZ were required to play Challenge Mode and Event Mode.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 5C

## Story

Reviewing the logs, Beyond finds that the main character vanished the moment something resembling a large suit of armour appeared; she decides to investigate further. Meanwhile, Wolf-Girl and Jonathan continue their search for the main character to no avail. Forza shows up and demands to know the location of the one who purified him.

The main character continues to follow Karin through the Tacet Forest to a gate that will take them back to the human world. Before the gate can be activated, a Noise Beast resembling a UFO attacks.

After the fight, Wolf-Girl and Jonathan tell Forza they don't know the whereabouts of the main character. The two then ask Forza to go away.

In an unknown location, Arietta mutters to herself about the futility of trusting the people she and Beyond works with, and decides it's time to do things her way for a change.

## Song

Stage 5C's song is Destroy.

**Restrictions:** Grade AA or above required.

## Trivia

* The text the UFO says right before the battle starts is in Wingdings. The translated text is as follows: "Much Copy Very Similar Wow".
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 0

## Story

Two mysterious figures discussing the perfect piece of music. One promises the other to help them find that perfect piece of music.

Then, the main character is at an arcade late at night. They intend to go home soon; however, they end up playing until closing time.

On their way home, the main character encounters a strange blue fog. Through the fog, a robotic rhino emerges and attacks.

After the rhino fires a few bullets, another person arrives on the scene. They grant the main character the power of the NOISZ.

After the fight, the other person introduces herself as "Beyond." Beyond explains that the enemy the main character just fought is a Noise Beast, which is a corrupted form of music.

Beyond snaps her fingers, a car alarm goes off, and she suddenly vanishes.

The main character resumes their walk home.

## Song

Stage 0's song is Tutorial (Song).

Fallen Angel

"Say, what does UFO stand for again? Utterly Frustrating Obstacles? Under Flavored Oreos?"This page needs additional information; feel free to add it yourself if you can!

## Song Info

 **Rate:** Inversion | **Verses:** 4 | **Boss:** Seiryu | **Length:** 3:02

*Base Pattern by jqtran*

*Character by Angelina Chiong*

## Gimmicks

There are dense, inching patterns alongside spreading lasers. The bullets with laser tips from Kill The Deadline reappear here for a brief portion of V3.

The song technically only has three Verses; the fourth is purely a visual element. On difficulties below Overload, the health bar only drains in V4 if you reach Overflow in V3. The health bar does not drain on Overload, allowing you to shoot freely for damage.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: At least there's no pesky deadlines to worry about this time. Fight hard, and you might get a special bonus at the end!

**Arietta**: Seems like a good time to try your newest ability... It's risky, but pay attention to your movements and it'll pay off.

**Stornel**: If you choose an aggressive Style for this battle, consider increasing your speed as well to offset negative effects.

## Lyrics

English translations are provided next to the Korean lyrics.

세상이 불타올라 모든것을 앗앇어
남은것은 나뿐이야
홀로 남아서 이곳을 배회해
Fire consumed the world and everything in it
The only thing left is me
 나를 감싼 속박의 끈
이제난 모두 익숙해져 상처안고 살아가네
두려운 앞날의 발 걸음
모두 나를 옥죄어와
Now I'm used to living with all the scars that are on me
The fearful step into the future
 Please, please make me alone
거울속에 내가 나를보며 웃고있어
괴리감이 사라지지않아
날 여기서 벗어 나게 해주겠니
모든것이 나를 향한 악의 칼날같은걸
I laugh at myself in the mirror
I feel so out of place
Can you let me leave this place
 Please, please make me alone
세상이 비웃으며 나를 향해 손짓해
무서워 날 향한 위협
그 모든 손짓
날 향해 뻗어와 모든 시선이
내 옆을 스쳐가 저주같이
날 옥죄어
The world laughs and points at me
I'm scared, these threats made towards me
All the pointing
They come reaching for me, the gazes of everyone
Pass by me like a curse
Suffocating me

NOISZ (Game)/Grades

In most songs, grades are a combination of verse clears and lives lost; exceptions are marked at the end.

In Easy/Normal/Hard difficulties, a verse is considered cleared if the health bar is +0% or higher. The grades are as follows from lowest to highest; you get the highest grade for which you satisfy the requirement:

 C
 B
 A
 AA
 S
 SS

In Overload difficulty, there is no concept of clearing verses. The grades are based only on your total overflow.

 AA
 S
 SS

The exceptions for the above are generally related to special, story-related songs:

 MultiVerse | Only one verse with forced death at the end. So F is impossible, and you get an A for reaching -899% or higher, even if you then die.
AA is -699% or higher. S is -699% or higher, and you must survive until the final void lasers.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 6B

## Story

After the fight with the robot jester, she is completely gone, reduced to scraps. The main character questions what they're doing and if attacking that Noise Beast was necessary. Arietta praises their work, and the main character asks why are they hunting Noise Beasts. Arietta first dismisses their question as strange, then answers that she finds it amusing. She asks if they find it fun, too.

Regardless of what you answer, a massive pegasus interrupts the two, swooping in and attacking.

After the fight, the main character feels exhausted. Their chest is tight, and they worry something is wrong. Arietta asks if they are reaching their limit. The main character fails to respond, instead coughing up blood.

Arietta shows the main character the others at the beach. The group struggles to fight off three animal-like girls who are each wielding the NOISZ. Arietta calls them NOISZ Beasts, or corrupted NOISZ users.

Choosing to say you don't care will result in entering Stage X4.

Otherwise, Arietta takes the main character to the beach to fight the NOISZ Beasts.

## Song

Stage 6B's song is NIGHTWING STIMUL8R '17.

**Restrictions:** Inversion is active.
First Star

## Story Context

*(Version used in the story is shortened from the full song)* During STΔRLIVHT‘s first show at the Budo Garden, the area goes quiet, and time freezes. Through cracks in reality, a robotic rhino emerges and attacks STΔRLIVHT. A mysterious woman named Beyond arrives on the scene and asks Grace to call upon her own power. Drawing strength from her bandmates, Grace uses the NOISZ/RS to fight the rhino and protect her friends.

## Level Gimmicks

Like in Robot Rhinos, this chart features robotic rhinos that chase the player character around the movement area. The mini-rhinos will take a step towards you each beat, and the distance they travel is dependent on difficulty.

They also occasionally shoot out bullets around themselves. The quantity of the bullets a mini-rhino shoots depends on difficulty (doesn’t appear in Easy difficulty).

You can’t destroy them like in NOISZ; however, they will self-destruct once their duration is over, leaving behind an expanding ring of bullets around them (similarly to the otherwise indestructible mini-rhino in Robot Rhinos). The number of bullets in the ring depends on difficulty.

The chart also has circular rings of bullets, similar to those seen in the NOISZ tutorial.

The Overload difficulty chart prominently features hold notes/vertices that require both inputs over each other.

### Tutorial

In the context of the tutorial, the charting for First Star is simple and designed to establish the main mechanics of NOISZ STΔRLIVHT: hitting notes, moving your character, the RS-DASH, and Grace's NOISZ Burst.

Even so, certain patterns from the NOISZ tutorial return here, such as the rings of bullets that spawn out from the center of the enemy. If the timing discrepancy between the offset found during calibration and when notes are hit during the tutorial is too large, the game will automatically adjust your chart offset to compensate.

## Lyrics

**Key:**

* ♣ Grace
* ♦ Sera
* ♣♦ Both

♣ There's one special star that always stands out every night
♦ Won't you be my star (♣ won't you be my star)
 ♦ And anytime I lose my way (♣ lose my way), ♦ you'll be there
 ♣ Forever and beyond with you (♦ still with you), I'll be there
 ♣ And evеn when I close my eyеs (♦ close my eyes), ♣ you're still there
 ♦ Each second that I spend with you, ♣ this moment lights my life
 ♦ And anytime I lose my way (♣ lose my way), you'll be there
 ♣ Forever and beyond with you (♦ still with you), I'll be there
 ♣♦ You’ll always be my very first star

## Trivia

* This song appears in NOISZ STΔRLIVHT's tutorial. This tutorial plays at the start of Chapter 0.I.
* The song's enemy is a miniature robot rhino. This Noise Beast was also the enemy of NOISZ Ignition's tutorial.
* For a brief time, on version 2.100, the tutorial contained a Void laser in place of a regular red laser.
	+ This was eventually patched, around the time of version 2.101.
	+ This glitch Void laser was the first time Void lasers appeared in NOISZ STΔRLIVHT, even before their official debut in Forged In Darkest Abyss.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage X4

## Story

After the main character said they will not care about the group, Arietta uses the tablet and make the image fade away and is replaced with the three NOISZ Beasts in it's place. The main character realized the NOISZ beasts are controlled by Arietta. Arietta then orders the main character to defeat the NOISZ Beasts and replace them. The main character refuses to comply and Arietta says that it's already too late. A battle with Suzaku then begins.

After the fight, The main character exclaims that they will destroy Arietta. She is surprised by the power output from the NOISZ, but the main charater is too wild to control. So she decides to order the NOISZ Beasts to dispose of her. The main charatcter's NOISZ flares up with a blazing light that is too great for them to handle, but they are satisfied by the feeling that the NOISZ Beasts are also consumed by the flames.

## Song

Stage X4's song is Tengu at Normal difficulty.

**Restrictions:** Special Style only.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 6C

## Story

Beyond roams through the city to look for the main character, to no avail. As she searches, a massive suit of armor rampages. A girl with a NOISZ swoops in to defend Beyond. Beyond doesn't recognize her, but recognizing the urgency of the situation, decides not to interrogate further and takes the opportunity to run away.

Arietta talks to herself. She delights in the control they have over her tools and the situation at hand. While noting a few sacrifices are necessary, she finds that fact interesting.

The main character and Karin, now accompanied by the UFO, go to find someone that can help the main character return home. After the fight with the UFO, the gate was broken, and they need to find another one.

Karin stops walking and demands that the main character explain who they are and where they obtained the power of the NOISZ. When they say they don't know much about their power, Karin calls them a liar. She says that her parents were killed by people with a power like the main character's. She assumes the main character is out to kill her too and transforms into a large sheep.

After the fight, Karin is purified. Karin is still convinced that the main character is going to kill her, and they continue to reassure her they have no ill intent. The main character cites the fact that Karin was not completely absorbed after the fight that they do will not harm her.

While the main character mentions they're looking for Beyond to give them answers, Moca interrupts them.

Elsewhere, Arietta is in the World of Music. She resolves to personally put everything back on track.

## Song

Stage 6C's song is Save Yourself (COD3C Remix).

**Restrictions:** Grade AA or above required.
Crossroads of the Brave

* Spoiler
* Enemy

## Story Context

Grace heads inside the Antiphon Building when the Producer shows up and tells her to turn back. She warns Grace that going any further will uncover the truth, opening a path of no return outside of these endless cycles, afraid of the events ahead. Grace then comes to a realization that the Producer has entered this world's recollection to prevent moving forward. She cannot accept that, and so they settle with a fight.

## Level Gimmicks

This song is locked to Grace in her STΔRLIVHT STΔGE Style. The HP bar is replaced with a unique bar that starts at a rate of 0% and is required to fill to at least 80% in order to clear the Verse. Hitting notes will increase the gauge, but missing notes and getting hit will decrease it even after getting a rate of 80%+. The gauge will be counted and then refreshed back to 0% at the end of each Verse. Failing to pass the threshold at the end of the Verse will fail it.

## Strategies

Being impossible to get a game over, it's best to not raise the HP stat in exchange for other stats such as ATK to increase the amount of rate gained per note.

## Lyrics

*The official lyrics for the song have not been provided. The following is guesswork, with lines that are highly questionable marked with underlines and italics.*

♣ There's naught for you back there
♣ If it's dark, look for a brighter future still
♣ Because in painful truth I find
♣ We can right it all with time
♣ *Cross blades* with me, and in the end
♣ Braver, shall we be

## Trivia

* This song was originally hinted at in the form of a puzzle solution to the puzzle contained in the NEWSZ stream on August 5th through August 6th of 2023.
	+ The first portion of the puzzle, a continuous list of cards, spelled out the artists names for the True Heroes Chapter 5 songs, and for Crossroads of the Brave, it was “IRIS” and “MIYOLOPHONE.”
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 8C

## Story

As the main character, Karin, UFO, and Moca walk toward Marziale's throne, the main character notices something amiss: the air is a murky blue and covered in cracks. Before Karin can touch one, the main character stops her.

The group hurries to the throne room, only to see that Marziale has been corrupted. The main character steps in to defend their friends.

After the fight, Marziale praises the main character's power. Marziale tells the main character to stop someone, but before she can finish, Arietta approaches from her hiding spot behind a pillar. Karin asks who this is, and Arietta describes herself as one of the owners of the NOISZ. Marziale demands Arietta must be stopped.

Choosing to say it's time for a dance-off will result in entering Stage X5.

Otherwise, Arietta summons Stella and Luna to fight while she runs through the throne room's portal. Before she leaves, Arietta offers answers if the main character survives and follows her. Marziale urges the main character to follow Arietta.

Choosing to follow Arietta will result in leaving Story C and entering into a longer version of Story A, starting at Stage 9A.

As well, choosing any of the options that are more trusting of Arietta (and are grayed out by Route Assist for Story C) will also result into entering this Story Long A.

Otherwise, the main character stays behind to fight Luna.

## Song

Stage 8C's song is Blood.

**Restrictions:** Grade AA or above required.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage X5

## Story

The main character proclaims that they are tired of the fighting and distrust, and just want a dance-off. Arietta tries to reject the main character's request and summon a friend (presumably a NOISZ Beast).

Suddenly, Beyond appears out of nowhere, promising a dance-off. Arietta is surprised by this. Beyond talks in a much more casual tone than usual (using words like "sup" and "damn") and greets the main character. The main character also replies in more casual way. Arietta is confused by what is happening. Beyond then asks the main character to bring out the NOISZ.

The main character says that they are not doing this for themselves. Beyond also mentions that she is doing it for her sis and that she's gone now and she is dedicating her dances to her sister. Arietta is very confused by this, as she is Beyond's sister. The main character also mentions that they are doing it for their sis as well as she is not okay and they are giving it their all. Arietta chanted her confusion as the dance-off begins.

After the dance-off, Beyond congratulates the main character for the dance. Then mentions that they should get downtown for the dance competition to win prize money for their sister. Then they vogue and waack their way to downtown. Arietta, still confused yells that they have a job to do, and they should get back here.

At the dance competition in downtown they prepare for the next match since their opponent was the no.1 breakdancer in the northern regional area. At the competition, the main character and the opponent (who looks like Byakko) do some smack talking. The opponent also mentions that they are doing it for her sis.

Then it cuts to ? who exclaims that this is too ridiculous and they are not going to have it end this way. You then get kicked back to Stage 8C afterwards.

## Song

# Story

## 2ECONDS TO STΔRLIVHT: My Heart's Reflection

Han met Hakuno, Sumire and Rhyme in middle school after seeing the posters they put up advertising the LGBTQ+ club, which is shortly afterward named the Flaming Pride Friendship Squad. The four of them hang out every Tuesday and Thursday in the abandoned classroom they first met, and eventually go on a picnic in an abandoned theater; Han revels in this newfound freedom of being out with friends.

The club is dissolved when the four of them receive an ultimatum to disband or be outed to their parents, though Han remains in contact with everyone even after Hakuno moves away.

## NOISZ STΔRLIVHT

As of NOISZ STΔRLIVHT, Han is still in contact with the rest of the Flaming Pride Friendship Squad, and talks in the group chat.

# History

Han rarely goes out without a chaperone, and has grown up somewhat sheltered. They grew up with, to their knowledge, supportive parents, though has still felt uneasy enough around them to hide being nonbinary from them, out of fear of rejection.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 9B

## Story

After the fight with Suzaku, she fades away into a mess of corrupted data like Seiryu. The main character howls in triumph. Their pain disappears into powerful excitement. The main character struggles to understand anything the others are saying. They are solely focused on taking down the tiger-like girl standing before them.

After the fight with Byakko, the main character goes mad with power. The others appear to congratulate them. Arietta leads them to the next target, and they enthusiastically follow.

Arietta recounts to Beyond that the main character was rampaging in the World of Music, so she simply accelerated the NOISZ's output to convert them into a NOISZ Beast. Beyond seems upset by this, but Arietta makes the case that they're more useful in this form. Besides, without bonds, their soul was the only fuel for the NOISZ. Beyond wishes that she were cleared about the risks, but Arietta states that Beyond knew they were going to die anyway. She wanted to tell them the truth and ask for forgiveness, but Arietta counters, saying that no sane person would forgive them.

Beyond asks why she was seen at the beach. The Beyond seen at the beach turns out to have been a robot Arietta constructed. Beyond warns Arietta that robots are dangerous.

The two then intend to get the main character back to harvesting Noise Beasts.

This concludes Story B.

If you selected more heroic options, the ending is considered B♭.

If you selected crueler options, the ending is considered B.

Currently, the game displays "story B♭ end." regardless of your choices. This will eventually be patched.

## Song

Stage 9B's song is Not The Last.

**Restrictions:**

* **B:** Crash only. Cannot skip this battle. Inversion is active.\*
* **B♭:** Styles have one less life. Cannot skip this battle. Inversion is active.\*

\*The game does not list Inversion, though it is present.

Release date: February 2, 2022

> *In order to write the song, Sera takes suggestions from each member of the group. With the weight of everyone's expectations on her, will she be able to meet them?*
>
>

# Story

STΔRLIVHT discusses the new song they've been commissioned to write as Sera directs the group, though are interrupted by a news alert on Sumire's phone that reports Eito Hojo, jailed for felony assault, has been released from prison on good behaviour. Commenting that she feels unwell, Sumire leaves the room and Hakuno follows.

Hakuno comes in, though the other voice in the room states Sumire is not present; Hakuno talks instead to Hitori, and the two discuss the possibility of revealing this secret to the others for fear that hiding it will put the group in danger. Hakuno does not wish to be the one to have to tell them, though Hitori also protests, unwilling to expose Sumire's trauma to the rest of the group for fear they will pity her, before expressing doubt at even being a real person.

Hakuno provides reassurance and goes to touch Hitori, though he recoils. She asks him whether he set the alert on Sumire's phone, which he confirms, though expresses doubt as to why he did so in the first place, especially given the dangerous nature of reopening old wounds at such a time - though he notes there are some things he cannot forgive, which unpleasantly reminds Hakuno of her own experiences with her parents, and she relents. She assures Hitori again that she'll support him when he's ready, and leaves the room to tell the rest of STΔRLIVHT everything is okay.

A week later, Sera reviews the group's contribution to the song, though an annoyed Hakuno notes that the selected pieces are mostly Grace's, and tells Sera that the song should include contributions from all of them, which Sumire and Grace agree with. A Noise Beast attacks, which Sera dispatches.

Afterwards, Sera agrees to hear the others out, though quickly grows frustrated and instead just asserts they should have brought in better material, and is tired of them acting like they can do less. Irritated, Hakuno tells Sera she thought she was "above this kind of stupid favouritism", and leaves the room. Sumire follows Hakuno, and reminds Sera that she should apologise.

Grace too expresses concern with Sera's behaviour, and Sera falls apart, telling Grace of her worries about everything that has been happening, being unable to hold herself together. Grace reassures her, reminding Sera she too is a person with limits, that she deserves a break; she hugs Sera, and offers her support, and Sera resolves to apologise to Sumire and Hakuno.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 16C

## Story

After the fight with Beyond, Wolf-Girl cheers the main character on.

Arietta hits the main character and Beyond with a sonic blast. Beyond realizes that Arietta is not in control of her body, rather, the entity that spoke to them from the portal.

The entity leaves Arietta's body and enters into Beyond's. Arietta warns the main character to run away. Beyond absorbs the main character's energy. The main character blacks out.

The text "story C end." displays. Despite this, there is additional story content after this.

Returning to the main menu shows the Main Character (NOISZ)'s sprite is missing its eyes, and all of the options have been replaced with a version of Free Mode with the possessed Beyond's face on them. Selecting any of those brings up a corrupted-looking song select screen. Only a single song is shown, Beyond The NOISZ, at the difficulty of your run. The flavor text Beyond says is cycling nonsense.

Before the fight, each character that has appeared throughout the story shows up to encourage the main character and lend them their power. They've ended up in the Void and fight the entity that has possessed Beyond.

After the fight, Beyond screams in pain and falls to the ground. As the energy returns to the main character, Beyond's body begins to fade away. Beyond struggles to her feet, and the entity possessing her speaks. She asks Arietta to absorb Beyond's energy, so she has a chance of survival. Arietta hesitantly complies. She summons a NOISZ and absorbs Beyond's energy.

Beyond's and Arietta's bodies fuse together into one. Before the main character can do anything, this fused form escapes, dragging the Noise Beasts with her.

This concludes Story C.

If you reach a certain amount of Overflow in the credits (currently assumed to be +100%), a scene plays afterward:

Two weeks later, the main character is at the arcade. They note that the cracks in space have stopped appearing and so to have the Noise Beasts. People aren't allowed to travel through the destroyed areas. The event was described as a combination of natural disasters.

As the main character leaves the arcade, they decide to do whatever they can to save their friends. A white-haired boy approaches the main character. He introduces himself as Stornel and acknowledges that he is a NOISZ Beast. He offers to help.

Then, a teaser for NOISZ re:||VERSE appears.

## Song

Stage 16C's song is Beyond The NOISZ.

**Restrictions:** Limit Breaker only.
NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage X1

## Story

After the main character decides to ditch the Wolf-Girl, the Wolf-Girl runs off and Beyond comments on the main character's recklessness. The main character later decides to go back to the arcade, trying to clear their mind about what happened, but suddenly gets attacked by a dragon-like girl.

After a difficult fight, the dragon-like girl slams the main character into a nearby railing, stating the main character abandoned their objective and won't let them end up like the others. The main character is confused by her words. She answered that it would be a blessing that the main character will never find out. She then deals a powerful blow to the main character's head, supposedly killing them.

## Song

Stage X1's song is Kill The Deadline.

**Restrictions:** Hard (Overload if Hard) + Game Over on 0 lives
Heather Valentine

> *Hakuno's aunt, a bestselling author of YA queer romance novels. Everyone either considers her work to be cringey or absolute masterpieces, but nobody can deny their impact on representation in popular culture. Like Hakuno, she's an outcast from her rather conservative family.*
>
>

A famed YA novelist, Heather Valentine's queer romance works are both widely beloved and hated. There's no explicit content, but she's penned several of the steamiest gay kissing scenes ever written. Sera owns every one of her books.

The series of young adult novels that catapulted Heather to fame, Moonlit Nights, is about a werewolf and a vampire clashing over the love of a human girl, and falling in love with each other instead; to many, it is an outrageous plot twist, though remains popular with many.

NOISZ (Game)/Story/Stage 12C

## Story

After the fight with Seiryu, Karin heals the main character.

She attempts to heal Seiryu as well, but she finds it impossible, as if Seiryu was already dead.

A decontamination process finishes in a lab, and the machine announces that corruption levels have met acceptable thresholds. Beyond exits the machine. Beyond's visor activates and alerts her of the main character's location. Beyond notices a reading that is not "of this world or the other."

The main character demands answers, and two NOISZ Beasts approach. The two block the main character from confronting Arietta.

Meanwhile, Beyond travels through the city, looking for the main character. She sees the destruction ahead and hopes they're alright.

As promised, Arietta answers the main character's questions. First, Beyond and herself are normal people who were corrupted by the energy of the Void. Second, the two were using the main character to collect energy that they could later use to repair their bodies. Third, that the NOISZ Beasts that the main character defeated were Arietta's toys. She was developing a way to mass produce the NOISZ that Beyond wouldn't accept, so she completed the mass-production models behind Beyond's back.

Karin attempts to lash out, but Arietta contains her into a small holding device.

Beyond appears. She asks why her movement devices aren't working, and Arietta mentions how they become less functional the closer they are to the Void. Beyond panics and asks why Arietta is stressing the boundary.

Suddenly, a massive suit of armor towers over the main character. Despite how powerful the opponent seems, the main character is confident in their ability to defeat it.

After the fight, the main character absorbs a massive orb of energy.

They have a vision in which ????? addresses them: The person contained in the armor expresses his regret on focusing on his failings instead of his daughters. His failures compounded, and he treated his loved ones with cruelty they never deserved. He recognizes his inability to help. He begs the main character to save them.

## Song

Stage 12C's song is Insomnia.

**Restrictions:** Grade AA or above required.

In addition, there is a special restriction: you may not reuse the same style twice.
Once you use a particular style, it cannot be selected again for the remaining charts in the current run.

* For songs that require you to use a special style, it is never considered the same as any other style. For example, Limit Breaker does not count as either Blaster or Crash style.

All courses have four stages.

## Gimmicks

The most prominent feature of the level is its ferris-wheel-like pattern, in which four large bullets connect to lasers and rotate around the enemy. The large bullets spawn smaller ones as they revolve around the enemy.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: The NOISZ Beasts are back, and they're out for revenge! You'd better watch out... Suzaku looks fired up!

**Arietta**: You'll have no attack backfires to help you out in this fight. The most you can do is pay close attention to where her attacks come from.

**Stornel**: Abilities that allow you to reduce sources of danger are invaluable in this fight.

## Trivia

Entrance (SOTUI Re-rEmix)

"Say, what does UFO stand for again? Utterly Frustrating Obstacles? Under Flavored Oreos?"This page needs additional information; feel free to add it yourself if you can!

## Song Info

 **Rate:** Lethal | **Verses:** 4 | **Boss:** Sora | **Length:** 4:30

*Base Pattern by jqtran*

*Character by cosmo-aura and Angelina Chiong*

## Story Context

As the main character frees Karin from the capsule she was in within Remora's lab, they are suddenly stopped by a NOISZ user named Sora. Sora seeks to destroy the NOISZ in all worlds in order to protect them, and in this world, the main character is his target.

## Gimmicks

This song features densely-packed bullets, and patterns that stop and start as they move away from Sora. Spinning lasers in close quarters also feature prominently.
In this chart, there is a secret 4th verse that doesn't appear on the verse display. If you fail up to the end of the third verse, the fourth does not play, and the song goes directly to the results screen after V3 ends.

The Noise Beast also moves during this chart, while keeping an active hitbox.

## Flavor Text

**Beyond**: Woah! This guy's powerful death magic can deal you a lethal blow if you're not careful. Keep an eye on your remaining lives!

**Arietta**: Haste and carelessness will cost you dearly here. Watch for your chance to attack.

**Stornel**: Significant risk of fatal damage. Perhaps equipping yourself defensively will be a wise choice.
