Story Context

In Story C, the main character wants to stop Arietta from hurting anyone else, but Beyond refuses to let the main character fight her sister. She steps in to defend Arietta.

Gimmicks

Rings of bullets appear for large portions of the song. Each verse has the same patterns.

Strategies

As one of the most simple songs in the game, it pays to play very offensively, especially in Story C, which has a AA-Rank requirement to clear it. Within the context of Story C, Polar Crash is the best option for dealing enough damage to reach the AA-Rank threshold.

The closer you can get to the enemy, the more blue bullets you will be able to absorb during the rings pattern, which will give a higher Combo. Choose a style that can take advantage of the abundance of blue bullets, such as Polar Blaster or Polar Crash.

For the opening pattern, there is a safe spot you can navigate into after the first adjustment in the bullet pattern: where the tip of the player character's tail aligns with the edge of the "ENEMY" display. You will remain safe in this position until the homing pattern starts.

Flavor Text

Beyond: Let's go over the basics with a practice battle! I'll go easy on you, so don't die, okay?

Arietta: This playfighting is a pathetic sight... Well, do your best to not embarrass yourself needlessly.

Stornel: Miss Beyond wishes to train you in the art of effective countering. Equip yourself accordingly.

Lyrics

Within your heart a treasure shines for you So light your spark, let the music take you higher Just take my hand, there's nothing left to fear Ignite your heart and soul and we'll fly beyond the noise

Believe in fate and you'll see your dreams come true Be strong and fight, let's go to a new adventure I'm by your side, always watching out for you Ever higher than before, now we'll fly beyond We'll fly beyond the noise

Within your heart the power sleeps in you So feel the beat, let the rhythm be your weapon Just take my hand, there's nothing in our way Ignite your heart and soul, and we'll fly beyond We'll fly beyond

Believe in fate, now your legend waits for you Don't give up the fight and you'll surely find the answer I'm by your side, we'll see our mission through Let's spread our wings and fly, just don't forget I'm always in your heart
