Audience

Sieg! Brynn! Sieg! Brynn! Sieg! Brynn!

Brynn

Thank you! You guys have been fire tonight! We're super pumped to be in Gyrate!

And we also got some epic news to share...

Sieg

"Sieg & Brynn" will be staying in Gyrate for our music label!

Brynn

Today is our new beginning, right here... with you!

(The crowd erupts into cheers and the entire arena begins to chant Sieg and Brynn.)

Brynn

We're dedicating the last song of the night to everyone here! Y'all ready?! Let's rock and roll!

(At the end of the concert, the entire arena echoes with the chanting of Sieg and Brynn's names and roars with the audience's applause.)

Audience

Sieg! Brynn! Sieg! Brynn! Sieg! Brynn!

Loud Bang

*Boom*BLAST*

Brynn

That audience was lit!

Loud Bang

*Bang*

(A loud rumbling noise gets closer. It sounds like something is collapsing.)

Sieg

Wait... Something's going on...

Miramon

*ROAR*

Sieg

Damn it! It's a Miramon! Quick, Brynn, run!

Outside The Concert Venue

Brynn

Ah! What the heck?! Something... is... happening... to my back!

Whoa, I feel a power coursing through me!

Sieg

Brynn... That isn't just power, that's trouble brewing...

???

You frickin' idiot, power is all she needs.

Sieg

Oh f...

???

You're a hard man to find, Sieg. How long has it been? 9 years?

Brynn

Who are you?!

Sieg

Don't worry, Brynn. Stay out of this.

That's low even for you.

???

You know how I operate, Sieg. Why don't you come over here slowly? No sudden moves.

Brynn

Sieg! Ugh...

(Sieg follows the shooter's instructions. As he comes closer, Brynn reaches out to him but is stopped by the cold barrel of the sniper rifle pressing hard at the back of her skull, rendering her powerless to move.)

Sieg

Let her go, or you're not getting anything from me.

(Brynn feels the barrel at the back of her head lowers a little.)

Sieg

Don't worry, it's going to be okay. I'm not going to let them hurt you.

Brynn

What are you doing?

Sieg

Just get out of here, Brynn. Don't try to find me.

Brynn

Sieg! No!

Ugh...

Sieg

Goodbye... Brynn...

(Brynn's world fades to black and she falls unconscious.)

Esper Union HQ: Bar

Brynn

Sieg!

???

Yo! How you feeling, girl?

Brynn

What... Who... Who are you...

Discboom

I'm Discboom, and don't worry, you're safe here. Welcome to Esper Union HQ.

Brynn

The Esper Union... I know you guys. The Union is always in the news, saving people... I'm Brynn, by the way.

Discboom

Glad to know we've got the people's support. By the way...

We found you passed out on the street. What happened to you?

(Brynn explains last night's incident to Discboom.)

Brynn

They took Sieg. He would've been able to get away, but these guys threatened him with my life.

I've got to find him!

Discboom

Yo! Hold on, girl. Slow your roll. Even though we just met a minute ago, I'm on your side, okay? Let me ask you this, how the hell are you going to find Sieg?

Brynn

I... Well, the two that took him looked real sus. I'm sure I can find someone who's seen them around.

Discboom

Hmmm... Well, if an Esper like you couldn't stop them, they must be pretty nasty to deal with...

Brynn

Hold up... An Esper like me? You mean I'm like one of you superheroes on TV now? What... How...?!

Discboom

Haha, haven't you noticed the pair of wings on your back? That's clear proof that you're an Esper!

Brynn

Wait, I have a pair of wings?! No wonder my back felt strange...

Discboom

Espers are granted powers beyond anything a normal person could imagine! But...

Brynn

...

I mean, I still didn't even stand a chance against those two bastards!

(Recalling how she was easily overpowered, Brynn scowls in frustration. Suddenly, she has an idea and looks at Discboom.)

Brynn

Discboom, if I want to save Sieg, I need to become stronger. Can you teach me how to fight?

Discboom

Unfortunately, that's not my area of expertise, but I'm sure the Esper Union can help you.

Brynn

The Esper Union?

Discboom

Yeah, we were always hiring new Espers, providing them with training and support.

Brynn

If you all can help me become stronger, then I'll definitely join the Union!

Discboom

Girl, you made up your mind already? Well, the Union exams aren't going to be that easy...

Brynn

However hard they are, I'll pass those tests. I have to find Sieg!

We promised to bring our music to the whole world. We're going to make our dream come true!

Discboom

You know what? I believe you when you say that, Brynn! I'll help you apply for Union membership.

Let's start off with some basic training first.

2. It Begins

91 lines

May the story begin...

A voice sounded in my ears.

Mysterious Voice

May the story begin...

It was thin as the morning mist.

Weary and cold.

But it seemed like it wasn't meant to be that way.

As if all emotion in the voice...

Had been worn down by the vastness of space and time.

And still, the hollowed-out voice advanced persistently until it reached my ears.

Why?

Mysterious Voice

If you don't understand...

May the story begin...

Is this... a hospital room?

Bewildered, I stepped down from the bed and pulled open the curtains to figure out where I was.

?!

What... is that thing hovering above the city?!

A mysterious, gigantic object hung suspended in the air.

Its size was simply otherworldly in scale.

I stared long before coming back to my senses.

???

Hey, you...

You're not from this world, are you?

I turned to see a girl holding some kind of strange headset.

Who was she?

???

I'm Discboom.

Discboom?

Discboom

And your name?

You're not from this world, are you, Captain?

Captain

Why would you ask that?

Discboom

Because that look on your face just now... You seemed surprised to see the Miracle.

Captain

(So that thing in the sky is called a Miracle?)

Discboom

Miracles are a normal thing to everyone in this world...

It's been so many years since the Shackled Miracle appeared near Gyrate.

Nobody is surprised by Miracles anymore.

Miracles? Gyrate? Other worlds?

The massive influx of new information was making my head spin.

Captain

Then... what kind of world is this?

Discboom pondered for a long moment.

Discboom

That's a bit of a philosophical question. After all, one world contains so many different things!

If I have to put it simply...

This world has Espers.

That could be our greatest fortune, or greatest misfortune, or perhaps both at once!

Some extraordinary people in our world can harness divine power...

And we call them Espers.

Transcendent power unfolded before my eyes, clear as day, shocking me to my core.

I really had arrived in another world...

Captain

Why... Why have I come here...

Discboom

That's a question for Mr. Yamato! He's the one that brought you to the Esper Union.

Captain

(... Mr. Yamato?)

Discboom

You don't remember?

Captain

(Seems like I've forgotten nearly everything...)

Discboom

You don't seem to know much of anything, do you?

Well, you can ask me anything, and I'll try my best to answer!

Captain

Can we talk about Mr. Yamato?

Discboom

He's a bit of an enigma, both good and evil at the same time, and rather tough to talk to.

I don't know that much about Mr. Yamato, to be honest. Actually, neither does anyone in the Esper Union.

He just brought you here and then left in a hurry.

Captain

Then... Where did he bring me from?

Discboom

He didn't say, so I guess you'd have to ask him yourself!

Captain

The Esper Union. Is that some kind of organization?

Discboom

Yep! The Union protects ordinary people from Miracles and Miramon.

In this world, a group of like-minded Espers gathered to form the Esper Union.

Captain

What is that Miracle in the sky, anyway?

Discboom

The Miracle is a massive structure that mysteriously arrived in the skies. It possesses divine power.

It gave rise to Espers, but unfortunately, it's also the source of Miramon.

Captain

Miramon?

Discboom

You'll meet one soon enough. After all...

This world is not a safe place.

It was all just too much to think about in such a short time. My mind was in a daze.

Discboom

You look tired. Why don't you get some rest, okay?

Just rest up and recover for the next few days. Try to stay in bed.

I've arranged for Sachiko to watch after you. You'll meet her soon.

Discboom was about to walk away.

Discboom

Oh, and don't forget that headset I brought you.

Captain

?

Discboom

It should... come in handy for you.

Captain

(What would I need a headset for?)

Overcome with a sense of foreboding, I rubbed my face with my hands.

It was...

Cold to the touch.

My hands began to tremble.

I noticed my reflection on the headset's shiny surface.

Other worlds, Miracles, Espers... These were already enough to overwhelm me.

But this present discovery caused me to plummet further still, into sheer terror.

Captain

What... What happened to me?

Discboom

We've never seen a case like this either.

You were already like this when Mr. Yamato brought you here.

Captain

(What happened... What happened to my body?!)

(If Mr. Yamato is the one who brought me here...)

(Then he must know what happened to me.)

(Looks like I'll have to...)

Find Mr. Yamato.
