Chapter 1: A Star is born

Fortuna Office


>The scene is at an office within a tall building, with the words "Fortuna Entertainment" etched on some of the windows. The office looks relatively casual, with sofas, vending machines, and a TV mounted on the wall.


Touma: Welp, here we are!

Itsuki: Looks more like an office than some kind of secret base...

Touma: Well, yeah. It is an office. Ever heard of Fortuna Entertainment?

Tsubasa: Oh, I know! That's the production company that Kiria belongs to!

Touma: Should've figured you'd know it, Tsubasa. But yeah, this is the Fortuna Entertainment office.

Tsubasa: Wh-Whaaat!? Really!? Wh-Why was I brought to a place like this!?

Touma: Just a regular production company on the surface... but secretly a team of Mirage specialists and investigators. That's Fortuna Entertainment. Oh, and I haven't told you guys yet, but this is the production company I've been working with.

Tsubasa: Why didn't you tell us about it!?

Itsuki: Yeah. You don't have to worry about telling us where you work.

Tsubasa: If I knew you were working at the same company as Kiria, I could've asked you to get me an autograph!

Itsuki: That's what you're angry about!?

Touma: Tsubasa, I kept my mouth shut because I knew this is how you'd react...

Tsubasa: Never mind all that, Touma! So... wh-wh-where's Kiria!?

Touma: Oh, she's not here.

Tsubasa: Why not!?

Touma: G-Geez, Tsubasa, chill out. Kiria's pretty busy with work right now. Not only does she have a ton of work, she's gotta get ready for that live performance too. She's got her schedule worked out down to the minute--even I haven't seen her in a while.

Tsubasa: ...

Touma: Tsubasa...? You okay?

Tsubasa: Phew... haahh.. phew... haahh...

Itsuki: What are you doing?

Tsubasa: Right now... I'm breathing air that Kiria was breathing... Oh, I can die happy...!

Touma: *Sigh* ... Oh, right. There was someone I wanted you two to meet.

Itsuki: Who's that?

Touma: Eh, you'll see. They're waiting for you just past that door.


>There is a blue door leading to somewhere in the room.


Touma: C'mon, Tsubasa. Back to reality.

Tsubasa: W-Wait! I'm not done enjoying the atmosphere yet!


>Game transitions to gameplay. The trio go through the door.

Bloom Palace


The trio find themselves at a shrine-like place, covered by greenery. There is a large tree behind an stone altar.


Tsubasa: Wh-Wh- What is this place!?

Itsuki: How is a place like this... in an office building?

Touma: Mind blown, right? This place is for Mirage Masters and those with strong Perfoma--those chosen by fate!


>Chrom and Caeda suddenly appear.


Chrom: This place... There's something about it that feels oddly nostalgic.

Caeda: Yes, for me as well. I wonder why that is.

Tsubasa: Caeda! Where are you been all this time!?

Touma: She's been with you since we left the Idolasphere. You just couldn't see her, that's all. As long as they're in the Bloom Palace though, they can go back to these physical forms. Heeey! Tiki!


>The mysterious, green-haired woman Itsuki saw in Illusory Daitama is sitting on the altar.


Tiki: Oh, big brother!


>She disappears, then reappears in front of the group.


Chrom: Huh...? Why do I feel as though I've met her before?

Tsubasa: I can't believe it... I can't believe you're making this little girl call you her big broth- Wait a minute... I think I've seen her somewhere before. Oh my gosh! It's Tiki! The Uta-loid! The virtual singer, Tiki! ... A-A real live Uta-loid!?

Touma: There's the reaction I was waiting for! And don't accuse me of the creepy stuff. ... You noticed that first? Look, let me introduce you. The Uta-loid you two know is a cover. Tiki's true identity... is a Mirage.

Tiki: Welcome to the Bloom Palace! I was waiting for you, big brother!

Itsuki: ... Big brother? Wait, me too?

Tiki: Mhm! If I'm not supposed to call Touma that, can you be my big brother instead?


The player is given two options on how to reply:

  • I don't mind
  • Well, uh...


>If the player chooses option 1:


???


>If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: Well, uh...

Tiki: ... I can't?

Itsuki: Oh, uh, I guess I don't mind if that's what you want to call me...

Tiki: Yay! Thank you, big brother.

Itsuki: You might be overdoing it a little. Oh--thanks for telling me that Tsubasa was in danger back there.

Tiki: I didn't do anything worth thanks... That's all I could really do. I wish I could've gone to help... but all I can do is stay here and pray that everyone comes back safely...

Itsuki: What do you mean by that?

Tiki: I'm a little different from the others... I'm bound to this place. Wait, um... big brother, do Chrom and Caeda still have their memories?

Itsuki: ... They both said they have no idea why they're here. It sounded like they couldn't remember much...

Tiki: I knew it...

Itsuki: Wait a minute... Tiki, are you missing your memories too?

Tiki: Mhm... I don't know why, but all Mirages have lost their memories of the past.

Itsuki: That... must be scary for you...

Tiki: ... Yeah...

Itsuki: ...

Tiki: ... Thanks for worrying about me, big brother, but I'm okay. We found Chrom and Caeda... And you and Tsubasa seem like nice people... so I'm really happy!

Tsubasa: Aww, Tiki... You're such a sweet girl! I'll be sure to come visit you every day!

Tiki: Thanks, Tsubasa.

Touma: Well, I think that about does it for introductions... Tiki, you wanna give them an explanation on Unity?

Itsuki: Unity?

Tiki: You know you have Perfoma, right? Well... Perfoma is like the power of the human soul to express itself. We fuse Perfoma with people and Mirages to awaken new power within them. That ritual is called Unity.

Itsuki: Awaken... new power?

Tiki: Hmm... Well, I guess you could just say it makes you stronger. I can't really fight like the other Mirages can... but I can perform Unity rituals for you here. So... let's perform Unity right now, okay?


The player is shown how to perform a Unity.


Tiki: This is all I can really do... but I'm happy as long as I can help you all, even if it's just a little bit.

Itsuki: We're more than grateful for the help, Tiki.

Tiki: Great! I'll make sure to do my best!


>Game transitions to gameplay. Itsuki can speak to Chrom, Caeda, and Cain for one-time dialogue.


Cain: Sir Itsuki! Touma seems pleased indeed at the prospect of fighting as your comrade-in-arms. I will be counting on you to help Touma. He can be a bit senseless at times, but he has a good heart.

Itsuki: Sure. By the way... Cain, are your memories gone as well?

Cain: Yes. I have lost all the memories of my time before meeting Touma... And as of now, their return seems unlikely.

Itsuki: I see...

Cain: But I confess, I have gotten quite used to my life alongside Touma and the others. However, that doesn't mean that I have lost my desire to find out who I really am.

Itsuki: Cain... If you need anything, I'll always be happy to help.

Cain: Thank you, Sir Itsuki.


Chrom: A strange place indeed... If we can manifest here, this sanctuary must function similarly to the Idolapshere.

Itsuki: Yeah.

Chrom: Taking form in your world consumes quite a bit of energy... We'll stay here in the meantime, barring emergencies. By the way, Itsuki... you'll be fighting alongside Touma from now on, right?

Itsuki: Yeah. To be honest, though, I have almost no idea what I should be doing...

Chrom: ... In truth, I could say the same. My memories are still all a haze... I know I am a Mirage, but... I can't even say for sure what a Mirage is, let alone who I am. Or what I'm supposed to do now...

Itsuki: Chrom...

Chrom: But if I stand by you... something tells me I'll find the answer. So... I ope you can put with me remaining at your side for just a little bit longer.

Itsuki: Of course it's all right. Besides, I wouldn't have a chance against the Mirages without you. Here's to a long and prosperous relationship, Chrom.

Chrom: Thank you, Itsuki. It'll be a privilege to fight at your side. You can usually find us here when things are quiet, but if you ever need us, we'll appear to help you.


Caeda: Oh, Itsuki. Hello.

'Itsuki: Hello. So you can materialize when you're in this room as well, then, huh?

Caeda: Yes, it would seem that way. Itsuki, I would appreciate it if you would look after Tsubasa. Sometimes, I believe she can be a bit... you know. Oblivious, perhaps.

Itsuki: Haha... Well, you're not wrong.

Caeda: And besides, it looked as though Tsubasa trusts you quite a lot. I'm sure she will need your support.

Itsuki: Well, she's been my friend since we were kids. I'll do what I can.

Caeda: *Giggle* Thank you.


>Itsuki and co. head to the entrance of Bloom Palace.


Touma: Hm? Looks like Ms. Maiko's back. She's said there's something she wants to talk to us about, so we'd better head back to the office.

Tiki: You're... going already?

Itsuki: Sorry. I promise I'll come visit soon.

Tsubasa: Me too! I'll definitely be back soon.

Tiki: Okay! I'll be waiting! Bye-bye!


>The team arrives back at Fortuna Office. Maiko is in the room.


Maiko: Hey there.

Tsubasa: Ms. Maiko! Your're so mean... Why didn't you tell me about the production company before?

Maiko: Oh, relax. I didn't want to overload you guys. Too much information at once can be a bad thing. Anyway, I just booked a lesson for you, Tsubasa.

Tsubasa: A lesson...?

Maiko: That's right. Dancing and voice training. I've decided we;re going to debut you as an idol. I think we're gonna go with the pure and innocent image for you.

Tsubasa: Wha... Whaaat!? B-But this is all so sudden! I... I-I...

Touma: Better get used to it, Tsubasa. This is how Ms. Maiko likes to run this place.

Itsuki: What about the Mirage attacks?

Maiko: Unfortunately, we have no idea when the next attack might be. So in the meantime, let's start your training! Trust me, you'll make a great idol, Tsubasa. My radar is never wrong about someone's star potential.

Tsubasa: Uhh.

Maiko: You know... if you work as an idol for Fortuna, it'd probably be a lot easier for you to meet with Kiria.

Tsubasa: Where do I sign!?

Touma: That was quick...

Itsuki: Sure was...

Maiko: By the way, you'll be going through singing and dancing training too, Itsuki.

Itsuki: Huh, me?

Maiko: Yes, you. Training as a performer will help your abilities as a Mirage Master as well, so it's worth your time.

Itsuki: What... exactly does that mean?

Maiko: Your power as a Mirage Master is dependent on your abilities as a performer.

Tsubasa: What do you mean "as a performer"...?

Maiko: Some of the earliest records of the performing arts come from dance as a part of religious rituals. The idea was to call the power of the gods into the performer--an invocation of spirits, if you like.

Itsuki: Call upon the power of spirits... Kind of like a Mirage Master's power?

Maiko: There's a dance in Noh theater called Kamioroshi, where the performer calls upon a god. It's a little like that. Muscical ability, acting, artistry... Honing these skills also increases your power of spiritual invocation.

Touma: Basically, if you're good performers, you'll be strong Masters.

Maiko: I'm not running this agency as just an empty front, you know. In any case, I've already booked your two for training. Life is about overcoming challenges, you know! Good luck on your first lesson!

Itsuki: Ummm...

Touma: Itsuki, Tsubasa... it's been nice knowing you. I'll make sure to say something real nice at your funerals.

Tsubasa: Huh?

Itsuki: Wh-Why exactly are you talking like you're sending us to our deaths...?

Maiko: You'll see when you get to the studio in Shibuya tomorrow. I've ordered the full course, so have fu-un. That'll be all for today. Dismissed!


>Game transitions to gameplay. Itsuki can speak to Maiko, Tsubasa, and Touma.


Maiko: Good luck with your first lesson! The studio is in Shibuya. I'll send you the details on Topic!


Tsubasa: Agh, I'm so nervous... How am I supposed to train...?


Touma: It's your first step in the industry. Lessons are the basics of everything, so pay good attention and learn what you can, okay?


>The player is given free rein to explore Tokyo. To progress in the main story, the place must travel to Shibuya.


Shibuya


The day of the lesson...


>A new message from Tsubasa appears on Topic. The conversation goes as follows:


Tsubasa: AAAAAAAAAAAA

Itsuki: What's wrong?

Tsubasa: what's wrong!? our first lesson is about to start! x_x

Maiko: I see Tsubasa's nice and nervous!

Maiko: The studio I'm having you two visit today is called the Uzume Lesson Studio.

Maiko: It should be right across the street from the train station. It has a really flashy sign--you can't miss it.

Maiko: Looks like you still have some time. Why don't you check out Shibuya while you're looking for the studio?

Maiko: Tsubasa, this is going to be your first step into the entertainment world.

Maiko: There will be good times and there will be bad times, but just remember: it's all to help you become a star. See you!


>In order to progress, the player must enter Uzume. Once inside, Itsuki and Tsubasa find a stocky man with blond hair.


Heavyset Man: ...

Tsubasa: U-Umm... Are you... our training instructor?

Heavyset Man: SHUT UP! I'm still doing my signature pose!

Tsubasa: S-Signature pose...?

Heavyset Man: Here it comes...! In a world of terrible singing, only one man can make it sound good again! Barry Goodman has arrived!

Tsubasa: ... I'm... Tsubasa Oribe... sir. It'll be a pleasure to work with you.

Barry: Okay, Tsubasa! Got it! You can call me Barry.

Tsubasa: Okay, Barr- Wait, Barry Goodman...?

Itsuki: Someone you know?

Tsubasa: Maybe. I remember a Barry Goodman was one of the guitarists at Kiria's live concert a few years back. Apparently, he was a famous guitarist for a famous American rock band, and his solo albums sold millions... But... that Barry Goodman was a lot more athletic-looking than him... so it's probably a different person...

Barry: Hahaha! Afraid not, Tsubasa. You're lookin' at him.

Tsubasa: What!? How much weight exactly did you put on!?

Itsuki: Tsubasa!

Tsubasa: O-Oh! I-I'm- I'm so sorry!

Barry: Don't worry about it. The little lady's got a point! Barry Goodman's just a Merry Fatman now. Yeah, that's all in the past now...


>Game's screen fades to black briefly, before coming back into colour.


Barry: All right, kid, you're up next. Name, please!

Itsuki: I'm Itsuki Aoi. Nice to meet you.

Barry: Maiko told me to give lessons to some rookies. And anyone who enters this studio starts out a rookie!

Itsuki: I'll try my best!

Barry: Good answer. I'm pretty in the zone today! All right, we'll train three times faster and tougher than normal!

Itsuki: Three times normal...? Do we really have to?

Barry: What, you don't know? Today's the release date for a figure from the best anime ever, "Dia Witch Iroha"! And they've only got a couple limited editions that come with a special bonus! Gah, I gotta get there on time!

Itsuki: O...kay?

Barry: What, you got something to say!? I'm not allowed to be a fanboy? HUH!?

Itsuki: I-I didn't say anything!

Barry: If I can't buy the limited edition, my life is OVER! So I need you guys to cooperate and finish this quick!

Itsuki: ...

Barry: If we don't make it out in time, Itsuki... I'll just make you get in line with me!

Itsuki: I-I got it! Triple speed's fine by me!

Barry: Maiko asked me to give you the full boot-camp experience. Honestly though, I'd say triple speed still isn't enough. All right... You better prepare yourselves, rookies!


>Barry's lesson begins. He starts by giving Tsubasa vocal training.


Barry: NO! How many times do I gotta tell you!? I can't feel an ounce of your soul in your singing! IF you're gonna howl and wail, get in the alley with the dogs! Listen, Tsubasa. My training can help your voice. But, you think you're gonna move anyone sinign' like that?

Tsubasa: No...

Barry: 'Cause that's what I'm hearin'! Keep singin' like that, and there'll be no point puttin' you on a stage! You're an entertainer now, Tsubasa--a professional! People are gonna pay big money to see you perform! You need to understand what it means to be a professional. If you can't do that, quit now and get outta showbiz!

Tsubasa: I can't do that! I need to find my sister. I have to-

Barry: I don't give a damn about your reasons! All you're doing right now is singing for yourself! I can't feel any message you're tryin' to put into it!

Tsubasa: For myself? Then how do I... put a message within my song...?

Barry: I can't just GIVE you the answer! You gotta figure that out! You gotta feel it within you! And you! Itsuki! Don't just brush this off as Tsubasa's problem. I'm talkin' to you too.


The player is given two options on how to respond:

  • Y-Yes, sir!
  • U-Uhh...


If the player chooses option 1:


???


If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: U-Uhh...

Barry: Don't overthink it! You gotta ask your heart! Awright! One more try!

Tsubasa: O-Okay!


>Game's screen fades to black briefly, before coming back into colour.


Barry: Stop, STOOOP! This is a waste of time! I coulda been doin' somethin' actually productive! Like watchin' anime! If you want me to teach you anythin' else, you better go study up on your "Dia Witch Iroha!"


>Barry walks away.


Tsubasa: S-Sorry, Itsuki... It's probably my fault Barry got mad and left...

Itsuki: Don't worry about it. I'm sure I made a lot of mistakes too. You just ended up taking most of his criticism.

Tsubasa: *Sigh* I guess it's tough being an idol, huh? All this has got me thinking...


The player is given two options on what question to ask:

  • About working as an idol?
  • About Ayaha?


If the player chooses option 1:


???


If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: About Ayaha?

Tsubasa: Yeah... I didn't expect you to guess so easily.

Itsuki: Just had a feeling.

Tsubasa: It's just hitting me hard, realising what a tough world my sister was living in... All the training and work as an idol may have been really difficult, but she never even showed a hint of that. She was always so kind whenever she was back home, and she was so cool and brilliant whenever she was on TV... *Sigh* I'm probably just not cut out to be an idol like her.


The player has two options on how to respond:

  • It's too early to give up.
  • I think you're pretty entertaining.


If the player chooses option 1:


???


If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: I think you're pretty entertaining. I'm sure you'd make a great idol.

Tsubasa: I'm... not sure if I'm supposed to take that as a compliment... But thanks for trying to cheer me up. I guess you really never change, huh? I'll give it some more thought on my own. I'll see you later!


>Tsubasa leaves.


Itsuki: Oh...


Kiria suddenly appears.


Kiria: Hey.

Itsuki: H-Hello. Uh, um...

Kiria: Yes?

Itsuki: Well, uh... thank you for rescuing us at Daitama.

Kiria: Don't worry about it... But I just walked past your friend. She okay? She looked pretty depressed about something.

Itsuki: We just had a lesson with Barry... and we just ended up making him mad.

Kiria: Hmm. Well, getting mad is basically Barry's job. So. You got to stand there and listen to her sing, right? What did you think?


The player is given two options on how to respond:

  • I thought she was really good.
  • I was just trying to keep up...


If the player chooses option 1:


???


If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: I was just trying to keep up... I couldn't listen much. But I don't see why he had to criticize her so hard...

Kiria: Huh. So I see... Hey... you two really want to be singers?

Itsuki: I don't know if I'd go that far, myself... but I guess so.

Kiria: Really. A singer has to use their songs as their words.

Itsuki: Huh?

Kiria: As a singer, she's still a newborn baby. Hasn't learned how to use her words, you know? But... a baby still has emotions. That's why they cry, right? Still have to express their feelings somehow.

Itsuki: I... guess so.

Kiria: So she should have sung as though she was crying. Barry would never miss that message.

Itsuki: So... you're saying I should get Tsubasa to cry... before training starts...?

Kiria: ...


>Kiria gives Itsuki something.


Kiria: Here, take these.


The player is given two options on how to respond:

  • What's this?
  • Are you asking me out?


If the player chooses option 1:


???


If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: Are you asking me out?

Kiria: ... Tickets. To my live concert.

Itsuki: Concert?

Kiria: You should come watch it with her. It's up to her what she takes away from it... but I'm sure she'll-

Itsuki: Hm?

Kiria: ... Well, never mind. Yashiro Tsurugi's my costar. He's a top-class artist. I'm tusre his performing skills can inspire you to be a better Master. Well, I have to get to practice. See you.


>Itsuki leaves Uzume, receives a Topic from Tsubasa. The conversation is as follows:


Tsubasa: sorry i left without you today.

Tsubasa: sends a picture of a crying man

Tsubasa: I was feeling a little down earlier... but I still plan on trying my best.


The player is given two options on how to respond:

  • Glad to hear it.
  • I've got a surprise for you.


If the player chooses option 1:


???


If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: I've got a surprise for you.

Tsubasa: a surprise?

Itsuki: I actually got tickets direct from Kiria for her concert.

Tsubasa: ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW

Itsuki: Super serious. Do you want to watch it with me? It's this joint concert thing called the "Siv Live" or something.

Tsubasa: SIV-LIVE? THE ONE AT THE 106!?

Itsuki: Yeah, that's the one.

Tsubasa: OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS

Tsubasa: sends a picture of a blushing dog surrounded by love hearts

Tsubasa: wait, so if I hadn't gone home, I would've been able to get the ticket directly from Kiria!? herself!?

Tsubasa: AAAH I'M SO STUPID! I shouldn't have gone home!

Itsuki: At least you get to go to the concert, right?

Tsubasa: but I feel like I totally missed out! >:c

Itsuki: I'm glad you're back to normal. I'll give you your ticket on the day of the concert in front of the lesson studio.

Tsubasa: thank yoouuu! ;w;

Day of the concert


>Game transitions to the day of the concert. In order to progress, you must speak to Tsubasa, who is in front of Uzume.


Tsubasa: Hi, Itsuki! The concert's about to start!


The player is given two options on how to respond:

  • Then let's go!
  • Give me a second...


If the player chooses the second option:


Tsubasa: Aww...


If the player chooses the first option:


>Itsuki, Tsubasa, and Touma are directly in front of the stage, standing just behind the barriers.


Itsuki: Wow... Everyone's really excited.

Tsubasa: It's a live concert featuring both Kiria and Yashiro Tsurugi! Of course they're excited!

Itsuki: Right, Kiria mentioned him. Is he really that amazing?

Touma: A live concert this big... Yatsufusa Hatanaka's probably the only guy who could set up something like this.

Itsuki: Yatsufusa Hatanaka?


>Fireworks suddenly go off.


Crowd Cheer: Woooooo!

Tsubasa: Guys, it's about to start!


>Animated cutscene starts. Dark clouds appear overhead. Kiria performs "Reincarnation" on stage. Once she finishes, the crowd chants her name.


Tsubasa: Wow... Kiria's so amazing! She's so cool!

Itsuki: Whoa... I can see why you were recommending her all the time...

Tsubasa: See!? Just by singing... just by standing onstage, Kiria can give people energy!

Crowd Cheer: Kiria! Kiria! Kiria!

Tsubasa: ...

Itsuki: Tsubasa?

Tsubasa: ...

Itsuki: Are... you okay?

Tsubasa: I... I want my singing to give people that energy, too... I want to be able to shine onstage, just like Kiria!

Itsuki: Tsubasa...

Tsubasa: I've made up my mind... I'm gonna do it, Itsuki! So never mind all that stuff I said before!

Itsuki: Before?

Tsubasa: When I said I wasn't cut out to be an idol like my sister. Just watch... I'm going to be an idol, no matter what it takes! I may not be as good as Kiria, but I promise... I'll sing so I can give people energy and make my fans happy!


The player is given two options on how to reply:

  • I know you can.
  • It's not going to be easy.


If the player chooses the first option:


Itsuki: I know you can. I'll be right behind you. I don't know what else I can do... but I promise I'll do anything I can to help.

Tsubasa: If you're cheering for me, I feel like I can do anything!


>A glow emanates from her body. She holds it, and it envelops her. The game then says, "Tsubasa Oribe's soul as an entertainer has achieved a new awakening... Tsubasa's inspiration has taken form as a new Perfoma: Wings of Song!"


Tsubasa: Wh-What is this...? It... came from within me...


>Perfoma is shining before Tsubasa's eyes...


Maiko's Voice: Looks like you managed to find the answer all on your own, Tsubasa.


>Maiko appears in the crowd.


Tsubasa: Ms. Maiko?

Maiko: What you're feeling right now... is the message Kiria wanted to convey through her performance. And that Perfoma is proof that you found the inspiration for your own answer, Tsubasa. You just opened up a door within you to a new gift.

Tsubasa: A gift...

Maiko: Now then, next up would be Yashiro's... *Gasp*


>A black circle suddenly appears in the sky. Circles spewing purple fog are seen manifesting on the nearby buildings.


Itsuki: What!?

Tsubasa: Wh-What is that...?

Crowd Cheer: Wooooooooo!

Touma: Is everyone else not seeing this?

Suspicious Crowd: Huh...? I feel... so tired...

Crowd: Nngh... Everything's just a huge pain... Why does everything seem so... pointless...?

Maiko: Is this some kind of Mirage attack...? But I've never seen anything like this..


>Camera shifts to a feminine-looking figure, cloaked in red. She has her back turned to Kiria.


Kiria: You won't escape...

Mysterious Woman: ...


>The woman walks off. Kiria changes into her Carnage Form.


Kiria: I said, you won't escape!


>Kiria leaps into the air and lands in front of the woman.


Kiria: Wh-What!? You...?

Mysterious Woman: Out of my way.


>Kiria is forced to jump away as the woman summons enemy Mirages. Kiria is quickly surrounded.


Mysterious Woman: I sense an immense amount of Perfoma within her... Avoid killing her if you can. I want her alive.


>The woman walks away.


Kiria: Ugh!


>Itsuki and Touma both run up to the woman.


Itsuki & Touma: Hold it!

Mysterious Woman: ... I thought I said... get out of my way!

>She turns around and attacks the two males. Tsubasa is seen running up the the two.

Tsubasa: Itsuki! Touma! Huh...?


>The camera pans to the woman's face.


Tsubasa: A-Aya...


>The woman begins an attack.


Itsuki: Tsubasa!

Kiria: Ngh!


>The woman launches her attack at Tsubasa. Kiria intervenes just in time, taking the attack head-on. Although she is still standing, purple electricity crackles over her body.


Itsuki: *Gasp* Kiria!

Tsubasa: Ah... Aah!

Kiria: What... do you think you're doing...? We're in the middle... of a battlefield...!

Tsubasa: No... Kiria... Because of me, s-she...


>Yellow electricity starts to crackle over the mysterious woman's head.


Mysterious Woman: Ngaaah... M-My head... I must... continue my mission... and return to the Idolasphere...

Kiria: Wait... Ayaha, wait!


>Ayaha flies off, going through the newly-spawned portal that is now on the steps on the Shibuya 106 building. Kiria kneels over in pain.


Kiria: Ngh...!

Maiko: Kiria!


>The party surrounds Kiria.


Tsubasa: I'm sorry...! It's all my fault... I'm so sorry...!

Touma: Dammit, she's hurt pretty bad... This doesn't look good. We need to fall back and regroup.

Kiria: You... have to go after her. Something... is about to happen here. If we stop now, who knows what could happened to Shibuya... or the world...

Tsubasa: B-But how are we supposed to fight against that many enemies...? I... I can't fight against my sister...

Kiria: Stop making excuses!

Tsubasa: ...!

Kiria: For five years... you were looking for her, right? But you didn't have any clues, and no power to save her... But now... you do. So you have to go after her... no matter what.

Tsubasa: ...

Kiria: You're all Mirage Masters now. Like it or not, you're already involved in this. So, there's no point just running from your fate--when it's given you a chance like this.

Itsuki: Kiria...

Kiria: ... Say hi to Ayaha for me, all right? Tell her to hurry up... and come b-ngh!

Touma: Kiria!

Maiko: Don't worry, I'll take care of her. The rest is up to you.... Be careful, everyone.

Touma: Don't worry, Ms. Maiko, we got this! This looks like the perfect time for a heroic comeback!

Itsuki: We're the only ones that can do this.

Tsubasa: ...

Itsuki: It's all right, Tsubasa. We've got your back.

Tsubasa: O-Okay!

Itsuki: Let's go!


>Itsuki walks up the the entrance to the newly-spawned portal.


Itsuki: (An entrace to the Idolasphere... What should I do?)


The player is given two options on how to respond:

  • Go inside
  • Cancel


>Itsuki sticks his hand into the portal, he and the others end up in Illusory 106.

Illusory 106


Itsuki: So this is...

Tsubasa: Aya... where are you...?

Caeda: Itsuki, make sure you keep an eye on Tsubasa.

Itsuki: Got it. Chrom, I need your strength again.

Chrom: And you will have it.

Touma: All right, Cain! Let's get this show on the road!

Cain: Well said! Let us storm the field with speed beyond speed!


>Game transitions to gameplay. Tiki immediately sends you a text. The conversation is as follows:


Tiki: I have a message from Kiria. You have chase after Ayaha... um... Oribe? She's in the Idolasphere!

Tiki: Maiko took Kiria to the hospital.

Tiki: You don't need to worry. ^ That was a message from Maiko.


>The party explore until Chrom suddenly speaks up.


Chrom's Voice: What is this presence...?


>An enemy Mirage cloaked in black appears.


Itsuki: (What in the world...!? This one's different from the others...!)


Editor's note: This is the game explaining Savage Mirages.


>Game transitions back to gameplay. The party explore until they hear a masculine voice screaming.


Man's Voice: Somebodyyyyy! Help meeeeeeeee!

Touma: Huh? Who's that...?

Tsubasa: Ah! Over there!


>A purple-haired man is seen cowering behind a wall. There are enemy Mirages in front of him.


Cornered Man: Anybody...! Please...! Stop these monsters!


The player is given two options on how to respond:

  • We have to help him!
  • Sorry, hang on!


If the player chooses option 2:


Itsuki: Sorry, hang on! We need you to hold out just a little longer!

Cornered Man: Whaaat...!? W-Well, come back quickly--please!


Game will not progress. You have to help out the man.


Cornered Man: Aaaah! Heeelp!


The same options are given again.


If the player chooses option 1:


Itsuki: We have to help him!


>Battle starts. Once the enemies are beaten, the conversation resumes.


Itsuki: Looks like we somehow managed to beat them...

Cornered Man: Th-Thank you so much, you three!

Touma: Huh...? Wait a sec... aren't you...

Itsuki: You know this guy, Touma?

Touma: This is Yatsufusa Hatanaka... Everyone in the industry knows him. He's one of the best producers around. He's the one that st up the live concert today, too... I-It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Hatanaka!

Hatanaka: Ahaha, well, rumors always blow my reputation out of proportion... I don't know if I'm THAT great. But... just what is going on? There was some commotion in the 106, and suddenly I was running for my life...

Tsubasa: Um... how should we explain...?


>Screen fades to black, before coming back into colour.


Itsuki: You'll be able to get out of this place if you follow those directions.

Hatanaka: A-All right... I understand.


>Yatsufusa leaves Illusory 106. A text from Maiko is received. The conversation is as follows:


Maiko: Hey, is everyone okay? I'm at the hospital now with Kiria. Don't worry, she's going to be fine.

Maiko: The wounds aren't anything life threatening but she might be out of it for a while. I'll contact you again soon
