The Iron Symphogear

Chapter 1: The Escape

The world is a dark and cruel place. War, famine, disease, betrayal, corruption, poverty, and economic disability. All things that plague this world of ours, even those who try to help end up feeling the pain of this. That is the story we see today. One daughter of famous singers, and the other a son to technological empire. This is their story…

We are Observer

In the middle east civil war rages. Radicals who wish to do harm to those who "Desecrate the Holy lands." When in all honestly there just wanting a reason to fight. But this story isn't about them. It's about the innocent who are captured by them. This story is about two who hold a powerful future. This is where one proves their worth to the world...and it all starts with an explosion…

We are Takumi

Their we are the two of us stand shaking our parents hoping that somehow they're still alive. Just some glimmer of hope. "Mom! Dad! Wake up!" "Come on! Wake up you two!" These words just seemed to be asked over and over again. "This...This is all you're fault Sonya!" Chris shouts. My name is Takumi Taiso 9 years old, and I am the son to Takumi industries. A world famous tech company known for our advance tech leagues above other companies. My parents have been long time friends of Masanori Yukine, and Sonnet M. Yukine. As I have been long time friends where there daughter Yukine Chris. Both of our parents were visiting a destabilized country in the middle east. And while discussing about how to help stabilize the country, Terrorists attacked and killed our parents.

Terrorists:(Grabs the both of them) You're coming with us!

Chris:(tries to pry loose) No! Mom! Dad Wake up!

Taiso:(struggles) Let go! They need help! Let go!

Sonya:(crying) I'm so sorry...I'm sorry.

Location change: Terrorist camp

We were dragged into their camp where they decided whether or not we get sold or turned into child soldiers. I wasn't gonna wait, I was gonna try and break out on my own. So while the soldiers were holding us in a cave our waiting place is the same place as where the weapons are being held. A guard puts down his phone onto the table, next to another phone and some tools. Sneaking over I grab the phones and tools.

Chris:(turns to Taiso) Taiso? What are you doing with those phones? Are you gonna call for help?

Kid:(shakes head) You can't. There's no we all tried here.

Taiso:(dissembling) Oh I'm not using a phone. I'm making a controler for those missile launchers they have outside.

Time skip: 4 hours

In my hand is the work of two phones, crappy tools, and sweat. The controller is linked up to these terrorists missile network. I did had to borrow a old computer to do it. But I did. I control the missiles now. "Alright." Turning the controls I aim the missiles at the Terrorists.

Taiso: Take this you sick sons of bitches!

Launching the missiles at the Terrorists felt great. But the feeling only lasted about a second as I had calibrated all the missile launchers, to the controller as such not all of them were synced, and I launched one missile at me when I walked out. I was blasted back injured but no major damage.

Location Change: deeper in the caves

"Rise and shine." I slowly open my eyes to a bearded man with glasses, he's battered and dirty. He has the looks of a everyday man. "Wh-What? I'm...alive?" "Just barely, I had to do some...modifications to keep the shrapnel from your heart." What? Oh god don't tell me! I start to tear at my bandages as I see a device locked into my chest.

Taiso:(feels device) ….I-Is this?

Man:(nods) An electromagnet. I tried to take out as much as I could but there's still alot left. The magnet is keeping the shrapnel that was caught up in your chest. That car battery is the thing keeping the magnet running.

I turn to a massive car battery on the ground next to me. "So… I guess there gonna keep me alive a little bit longer before executing me. Huh?" The guy shakes his head. "No they're gonna keep you alive." I sit up dragging the battery with me over to him.

Taiso: And why is that? Aren't I just a dead man walking? Or do they really want to personally kill me over a long period of time?(item gets tossed over) What's- This is my missile controler!

Man:(sits down) You made a missile control device, from two phones and broken tools. They want you to make a stronger version of the device. That's your life line kid. It's either that, or death.

"...Or I chose option three." I say getting up and, looking around for scrap I can use. The place is filled with Missiles and other materials. These missiles have pladium in them, if I can use the into the power source. "Getting right to work?" "Yup. Speaking of which I never got your name." I turn to meet the man face to face. "My name is Yensen." I smile as I grab some parts. "Nice to meet you Yensen! Let's get out of here alive." Yensen smiles as I get to work.

Time skip: 2 day's later

During the time I've been in this room, I've been constructing a new power source that would sustain me and something big for as long as I need to. "Ok...Here we go." Turning the valve energy flows into a small round device that lights up at the same time the lights dimmer.

Yensen:(leans in) That does not look like a missile controler. What is it?

Taiso:(smiles) A mini version of a prototype energy reactor that my dad made. We called it the Arc Reactor. And if my math is correct it can generate 3 gigajoules a second.

Yensen: That could last you 50 life times.

"Or something big for 15 minutes." I walk over to the other side of the room I grab a stack of thin layered paper. "This is our way outta here." Flattening out the papers, and holding it over a light, forms the image of a suit of armor. "Holy...I would have never have conceived this." Yensen says, I smile.

Taiso:(tilts head) Well…(Breaths in and out) I did.

We are observer

In the shadows of a large and dark room, sitting down she dials a number. "So is she still there?" A woman over the phone asks. "Yes Finé. She is still here." Smiling the Woman twirls the cord around her finger.

Finé:(crosses legs) Wonderful. I will come to pick her up by next week. Is that ok?

"Of course my lady."

Finé: Ok then chao! (hand to cheek) Hmm the son of the Takumi is also there...I wonder….Perhaps I'll leave him there.(smiles) But then again. Things can change in 1 week.

Time skip: a week later

"It's done!" Stepping back from the armor, I take a moment to look at my work. The armor has a very crude appearance. This is due to the fact that I have limited resources when constructing the armor. It was actually built from missile parts. The suit had a pointed chest plate and curved helmet. It is composed of an iron-copper-magnesium alloy, giving it decent resistance against small arms fire. "Time to set our plan in motion." Planting a small explosive on the door I prepare to get into the suit. Yensen starts to put the armor on me, but that's when we hear rapid footsteps.

Yensen:(looks to door) We need to hurry.(finishes putting armor on)

Taiso:(points to computer) Ok, get over there and press F11, that should start the upload. Then control I, I, enter. Now get over here and button me up!

Yensen:(nods) Ok it's starting.(looks to door) They're coming!

Taiso:(looks around) Well then get to it! We need to finish!

The door starts to open, that's when the pin on the explosive detonates killing the guards sent to stop us. "Holy…." "Ok once the upload is complete you need to stay behind me." Yensen goes to check the upload, once he glances he just seems to pause. "We need more time." "What?"

Yensen:(turns to Taiso) I'm gonna go to buy you some time.(runs and grabs gun)

Taiso: No! Stick to the plan! Stick to the plan! Yensen!

Yensen runs out of the room firing randomly into the air. "No Yensen!" I hear random gun shots before a sudden stop. That's when the upload finishes and I break out of the holders. I hear guys heading my way, dimming the lights, the terrorists start opening fire sending lead everywhere. After a few seconds of fire the stop, slowly walking towards them I surprise them with the light of my Arc Reactor. Slamming a goon into the side of a wall, the remaining two start shooting. I smack both of them sending them into the wall. I start walking out and I'm met with bullets, thankfully the armor can stand up to their weapons. One charges towards me, yelling at the top of his lungs, and shooting. I smack him to the wall, another runs towards me and I smack him as well. The goons turn tail and run away.

Taiso:(walking) Yeah run you fuckers! Run!

Closing up a metal door, they leave one behind. Banging on the door, he yells to let him in. I just knock him on the head, and I focus on breaking down the door. After a few punches I bust down the doors crushing a few terrorists down in the process. A terrorist comes at me from the left, smacking him I louge my arm into the side of the cave. "Aw come on!" I say trying to pull my arm out. As I'm trying to get my arm out, another guy comes up from behind and shoots. The bullet bounces off hitting him in the head. Pulling my arm out I continue down, I walk out to a open area where the kids used to be held, now what's there is Chris next to him, taking care of Yensen.

Taiso: Yensen, Chris!

Chris:(Looks to Taiso) Taiso? Is that you?!

Yensen: Look out.

Bending back a little I just miss a grenade launching past me and hitting the wall. I turn to see the shooter, a guy holding a grenade launcher. "You son of a bitch!" Opening up a flap revealing a missile, pulling a pin on it the missile launches towards the guy as he gets smashed under rubble. I walk over to Chris and Yensen, "Taiso! He's….He's." Lifting up the head piece, Yensen gives me a smile.

Yensen: Stop…

Taiso: Come on, we need to go. Come on, we gotta move, we have a plan let's stick to it.

Yensen: This was always the plan Taiso…

Taiso:(Starts to cry) Come on. You gotta go see your family. They'll want to see you alive.

Yensen:(smiles) My family are dead. I'm going to see them soon now Taiso….It's ok...I... I want this.

Taiso:(clenches fists) Heh heh heh...Th-Thank you for saving me...Thank you so much.

Yensen:(nods) Don't waste it...You're still young. This power you have...You can change the world with it. Don't waste your...Life Ah! Good...Bye….

He lies back, his body lifeless. "Oh no!" Chris begins to cry. I feel a tear go down my face as well. "….Come on Chris...We need to go!" I pull her away, and I start to walk to the exit, and I'm met with terrorists all armed with there weapons. "Fire!" They yell as they start opening fire on me, Chris huddles behind me as the bullets bounce off. There clips run dry, and I smirk. "My turn." I say as start burning down everything. "Chris! Stay close to me!" Burning down all their weapons and vehicles, I leave nothing untouched. "Get him!" More terrorists start firing on me.

Taiso:(opens up flap on arm) Chris! Hold on! We are leaving!

Slapping the launch button I grab Chris as we launch into the air as the camp explodes. Just as we get out the jets fail and we start to fall towards the desert. "Hold on Chris!" We smash into the sand. "Chirs! Chris! Are you ok?" "I'm fine!" I give sigh of relief. "Oh thank god." Chris gets up, and I find myself in a tattered armor. "Well...This day couldn't get any better."

Woman:(walks up) Well, well, well...Whats this?
