The scene starts on a rainy day. Everyone is walking with umbrellas and coats. A girl nammed Kokone Yuki is walking with her older sister, Nao. She pulls her coat and asks her to go to a candy store. Nao smiles at her and tells her to wait. She puts Kokone on a bench and goes to a flower stand and talks with the lady at the stand. Meanwhile, Kokone sees a boy about her age wave at her and follows him. When her sister returns, she calls for her and looks for her. Suddenly there's an earthquake and monsters appear.

Kokone is shown to be in a crowd calling for her sister. A girl with white hair, who is later shown to be Ruka Nakagawa, hears her cries and picks her up, asking her where her mother is. Kokone shakes her head, saying that she lost her. Ruka tells her that she is going to find her, but suddenly the ground shakes. A screech comes from the other side of the market.

Ruka, who states that the Noise is coming, but puts Kokone on her back and runs towards thee danger. She sets Kokone down and transforms and is now clad in Symphogear known as "Kunzir". She summons her Armed Gear, a large spear and attacks the Noise, while singing. Kokone who is left to watch, spots Nao and runs towards her, unaware of the Noise behind her.

Ruka uses her **"Stardust✴Explosion"** to destroy all the Noise and runs toward Kokone, which is being followed by a Noise. She uses her **"Unlinked✴Teknoplate"** to destroy the Noise and realises that someone is being attack and runs towards her to help. She arrives and destroys several of the Noise, but one of them corners her and dissolves her.

Ruka eventually destroys that said Noise, but Kokone is missing. Kokone shown to have run to an alley. She drops to her knees and starts to cry. She eventually stops crying, stands up and walks away. Meanwhile, Ruka drops her transformation and looks for Kokone.

The story shifts four years into the future. Kokone is shown to be leaving school with her friend, Eri Takasugi. They exit the school, but Eri runs back to grab her skateboard. Kokone leans on the balcony, remanising back on the day of her sister's death. It is shown that someone took her to an orphanage and spent two years of her life there. Eventually, she and other kids, including Eri had planned to escape from there.

Eri comes back and they go to the park, where they share an ice-cream and relax. Eventually there's an attack from the Noise. Eri and Kokone take cover from them behind the ice-cream cart. Suddenly the Noise picks up the cart and throws it aside, and attempts to smash Kokone and Eri. They roll out of the way and Kokone grab a branch hits the Noise, causing it to dissapear instantly, telling Eri to run.

She runs towards thet Noise and attacks them. Suddenly out of nowhere, someone swipes her away and they land on a roof. She tells her to stand back as she jumps back into battle. She destroys most of the Noise and saves some of the people around her.

After the battle, Ruka goes back on the rooftop where she left Kokone. She eventually finds her and takes her to C.O.R.E. where Dr. Kladowski offers the eleventh relic, "Zilton ana Mindo". She accepts, thinking back on her sister's death, and is willing to do whatever it takes to stop the Noise.

She is then seen strapped down to a bed with Ruka standing next to her. She is injected with the LiNKER as her vision blurs, she faints.

She later wakes up in a bed, with Ruka standing next to her and a boy leaning against the doorway. Ruka smiles at her and tells her to prepare for school. She is then seen on her way to school. She arrive in her dorm room, where Eri is waiting for her asking her where she left to last night.

### Part 2

The part starts where it left off before. Kokone has arrived to her dorm room and Eri, who is angry, asks her where she was last night. Kokone ignores her as she walks to the cupboard and grabs her schoolbag. Eri steps in her way, asking her again. Kokone tells her she can't tell her and that they won't be able to hang out today. She walks out of the room really fast and drops her LiNKER. Eri calls her but she walks on.

Later in class, Kokone looks towards the window as reminises on what happened that morning. Ruka stands next to Kokone's bed and tell that her life is about to change. She gives her her relic braclet and tells her to get ready for school. She also gives her her C.O.R.E. Uniform and leaves the room. Kokone is left in the room with the boy standing at in the doorway. He introduces himself as Robin, stating that he will be her trainer. He also tells her that he will pick her from school and begin her training.

She gets up from the bed and asks him where to get dressed. He tells her that she can get dressed her since he has already seen naked girls before. She stands in shock and grips the clothes in her hands tighter. He chuckles and leaves her in the room.

The school bell rings as she looks back on everyone leaving the class. She takes her schoolbag and leaves the class. As she walks out the gate, she finds Robin leaning against the wall, playing with a dagger. He tells her to get in the car, but Eri runs, calling towards them. Robin asks Kokone if that's her friend and she nods in response.

Eri catches up to them. She hands Kokone her LiNKER and tells her that she dropped it when she left that morning. Kokone takes it, thanking her. Eri then asks her where she's going and Robin speaks up, telling her that where she is going confidential and then he goes into the car. Eri watches as Robin goes into the car and then ask who he is. Kokone tells her she can't tell her but that maybe they might be able to hang out sometime later. She says goodbye and get into the car and it drives off.

Eri watches as the car drives off and walks on in the opposite direction. She is then approached by a shadowy figure in a cloak who asks her if she has a relic. She expresses confusion and attempts to walk away but the figure blocks her path. The person takes off their cloak and is revealed to be a woman. She grabs Eri by the wrist and place her hand on chest as Eri's eyes turn light green.

Kokone and Robin are seen in what looks like a gym training. She tells him how tired she is and that she is also hungry. He tell her that she has improve in that little time but that they had no time to waste. They continue sparing, but Kokone accidentally slips and falls, pulling Robin down with her. They both fall, Robin on top of her. She nervously chuckles as she blushes, but they are interrupted by a ring coming from Robin's phone.

He gets off her and picks up his phone. Ruka tells him that there's a Noise attack. He tells Kokone the news and they must leave. They arrive at the construction site where Ruka is already fighting. Kokone activates the "Zilton ana Mindo" relic for the first time.

She fights alongside Ruka and destroys the Noise. Ruka summons her Armed Gears. Kokone attempts to as well but she fails. Looking around, she finds a hammer lying on the floor and picks it up. The sky turns a dark green as a figure emerges on a high rooftop. Her eyes glow green and she reveals herself to be Farius Utamis-Morphisus albeit Eri's body. She fires at Ruka and she blocks with her spear and attacks her with **Axel✴Comet**.

Farius blocks her attack with the use of her shield and conjures up five oval shaped sharp daggers and fires four of them towards Ruka. Ruka dodges them and Farius fires the last one, which is much bigger than the rest. Ruka attempts to dive away but she gets caught in a golden-like cocoon and de-transforms. She starts to cough blood as Kokone looks up towards Farius, who challenges her.

Ruka, who is still coughing, tells her to channel her power into the hammer she is holding. Farius laughs at the fact that she is an "ametuer" and attacks her with a sphere of light. Kokone dives away with the hammer and hides behind an unfinished wall. She closes her eyes and thinks back on the day of her sister's death. The hammer in her hands glow blue and turns into an armed gear. She starts to sing a song taught to her by her sister and eventually, the hammer extends into a larger hammer.

Farius finally catches up with her and attacks her with a weapon of her own, a large Axe. She breaks the wall to find Kokone with her armed gear ready to attack. They battle it out until Kokone gets hit by one of her attacks and Farius hits her with her oval attacks, causing her to blackout.

She hands her an object which is later identified as the Netellahtrai relic. She asks her to take her place while she recovers from the fight.

Kokone and Robin continue training later, but are interrupted by an alert of a Noise attack. Kokone transforms and goes to fight and Ulà decides to join activating her own relic, Bozangllah. They arrive at the scene where there are several Noise terrorizing the public. They eventually defeat the Noise but a new threat appears clad in Netellahtrai. She introduces herself as Saaya and reveals her plan to achieve ultimate power along with Farius.

She activates it, causing the sky turn dark green. Farius awakes in her hideout, where she clads herself in the Badaknar and arrives at the Skyris. She combines her power with the Croizahlgen which opens a large wormhole. She abandons Eri's body along with the Badaknar to reveal her true form. She and Saaya go into the wormhole and Kokone dares to follow.

Ruka is seen waking up from in part 4, when Ulà and Eri return from the battle field. Ulà tells her that Farius, Saaya and Kokone all disappeared into a portal. Andreevna and Lucy reveals that the Relic she wore previously is known as Badaknar.

Lucy reveals she can track where they are and possibly get the other Candidates there to help, but jugding by how much power they gained, they need more Symphogear users to produce enough Phonic gain to get there. But she says that she can make it possible with out many users.

Ulà and Robin train while Andreevna talks to Eri. She asks her if she saw anything that could help them. Eri tells her that she didn't see anything. Andreevna decides to run some tests for her compatability with Badaknar.

Back at the arena, Kokone is show fighting against Farius and Saaya but they end up overwhelming her. She tells them that she will never give up and continues attacking them. Back at C.O.R.E., Andreevna tells Inaki that Eri has become compatible with Badaknar. Inaki asks her if she is willing to fight the Noise alongside Kokone and Ruka. She accepts and tells her she willing to do anything and everything to protect her best friend.

She goes along with Ruka to train with Ulà and Robin while Lucy and Andreevna find a way to contact Kokone. They eventually find her and tell everyone. They ask her where she is and if she can find a way out. At the arena, Kokone talks to Andreevna while trying to hide from Farius and Saaya.

They summon an entire army of Noise to attack Kokone. She eventually leaves her haven and starts fighting. She fights most of the Noise but she gets overpowered. She runs away and comes to a labyrinth in which she gets lost. She finds a room with a chest in it, but before she can open it, the building rooftop gets destroyed. Saaya "thanks" her for finding the Chest of Relics and attacks an injured Kokone once more.

Back at C.O.R.E., Andreevna loses the connection with Kokone and Lucy says she found a way to get to her. She says someone with enough Phonic gain can reactivate the Croizahlgen to get there. Andreenva suggests Eri since she was able to become compatible with Badaknar in a short time without the use of LiNKER.

She agress and they arrive at the Skyris. Eri transforms and sings her song which activates the Croizahlgen. Ulà, Eri and Ruka enter the portal and find an army of Noise waiting for them. Eri fight and end up finding Kokone, who looks badly injured. She tells them their plan and that they must stop them. She attempts to get up but her legs wear out and falls down.

Ruka and Ulà continue fighting the on coming Noise and Saaya eventually finds them. She attempts to attack Eri but Ulà pushes her out of the way and takes the hit for her. Eri, angered at Saaya for trying to attack her and instead hits Ulà, goes crazy and starts hitting Saaya with her disks. Kokone, who is still injured, stands up and transforms, knowing the toll it will take on her body later and that she has no LiNKER.

She goes to help Ulà and summons her Armed Gear, ready to fight. She and Eri wind up overwhemling Saaya and she fails. Farius, who has the Chest of Relics with her, watches as Saaya tries and fails to win against Kokone and Eri. Farius smirks and tells her she was only ever using her. She then leaves back to the city. Saaya who is on the ground, starts weeping. Kokone tries to comfort her but she pushes her off. Ruka then tells Eri, Kokone and Ulà they have to go back before the portal closes. Kokone asks Saaya if she's coming asnd she says no. She gives Kokone her relic and walks away. Ruka and Ulà jump through the portal. Eri gets ready to go and asks Kokonde if she's coming. She looks back at Saaya who dissapears in the distance.

Kokone and Eri make it through the portal and find Ruka and Ulà waiting for them, but instead of being in the city they are in a different place. They eventually find Farius. She reveals her plan to change the future for the better, according to her and the girls attempt to attack her but they all get blown away.

Kokone stands up and urges the others to stand up and fight. They start singing *BETTER FUTURE* which produces enough phonic gain to activate X-Drive. They fight Farius but she overpowers them all and fires her **Golden Malucent Blast**.
