by OrianneOpaline1922

Summary:

After Belle became the most Famous and beloved Diva in U, she finds the mysterious and despised Ryuu... They develop a tight friendship in which they shared what happened to their mothers everything seems normal until...

Notes:

I've been trying to add more scenes in the movie in order to deepen the relationship between Belle and Ryuu (Dragon)

¬ I even composed a song for Belle made by Kei/Ryuu (Dragon) which is a short Reprise of 'Lend me your Voice'/『Kokoro no Soba ni』(心のそばに)¬

Also I made the 9 AI be AS instead

English isn't my first language so forgive me if there are typos

Chapter 1: A slice of life

- One day, I'll come with You to the Elementary school- Luka chimed

- Haha, yeah, You are more than welcome to stay - Suzu mentioned

- Huh, Kamishin?- Luka asked loudly as Suzu turned her head to the guy who goes at her class

- Ehh Watanabe, W-we crossed ways once again, hehe- He stated slightly embarrased

- I-I'm rooting for you!- the long-haired girl blurted out

- Rooting for me?... Does that mean You have a small crush on me?- He joked but Luka turned red as Suzu nodded her head twice, Kamishin also turned red and fled from the train station

- Ahh wait, w-where are You going? Kamishin, Aren't You happy, she told You that she liked you- Suzu explained to him out of the train station

- I am, but... I've never gone this far, what do I gotta say?- Kamishin said ashamed

- How about 'thank you' or 'I'll do my best'?- the freckeled girl requested

Suzu rushed as she took the canoe boy beside the popular girl

- Watanabe- He asked

- Yeah- She replied

- What do You like?-

- Music-

- Really? W-What kind?-

- I like Belle-

.

.

- I-I'll win the competition, watch me- he told her and added:

-Since You like music... I gotta say, You ressemble Belle a lot, are You sure you're not relatives?- Suzu was so shocked that she went pale and escaped from there

- "They nearly discover My secret... But I hope it works out for them!"- she thought, but as she was walking, she found herself with the Boy she liked, Shinobu Hisakate

- Suzu, there You are! I needed to talk to You- He told her

- Eeh? Me, w-what is it?- The short-haired freckeled girl asked confused, as they both started walking down the city, talking about how is Suzu's life going, suddenly she remember what Luka told her

- 'Have you ever tried to stood up for yourself and tell him that You don't need his protection anymore?'

Suzu was about to tell the tall boy to stop protecting her but he spoke first:

- Suzu... Be honest with me...-

-Eeeeh okay... I will be 100% honest with You- Suzu felt a rush of energy shaking her up

-Are You Belle?- the popular guy inquiered

Suzu stopped walking and turned red out of shame
- N-no, W-what makes You think that?!- She raised her voice a bit

- I heard Betsuyaku talking about her and You - Hisakate explained

- N-no, I'm not Belle...- She denied once again

Chapter 2: A Castle in flames

- N-no, I'm not Belle...- She denied once again

-I gotta go now, see You!- and with that said, the freckeled girl rushed to Hiro-Chan's house and once there the first thing she does is scold Hiro for being a terrible secret-keeper

- Well... At least Shinobu is the only one who knows- Hiroka stated trying to minimaze the situation

- Yeah, but he can tell anyone else and then everybody will know! AHHHH! - Suzu threw her knees to the ground and shook her head

- Suzu, try to calm yourself...- The clever girl tried to calm her best friend but suddenly she notices a red spot outside of the U city

-Huh? Wha- Hiroka looked at the screen confused, Suzu was beside her already, the glasses girl glanced at her friend who was shocked if not more than her, because She knows what place that red spot represents

Without a minute to waste, Suzu puts her earplugs on and open the U app she just hopes that everybody there is alright, she hopes they are both alright

- Huh? Wait! Suzu, I'm coming with You- She said as she also puts her earplugs on

In the World of U, where a Diva had risen up, who sung her songs with all her heart, was rushing to a castle in ruins, fire and smoke as her manager tried to fly at the same path as her representative, but Eroh got lost in an amount of people looking at their beloved Diva's grand return and at what they were thinking would be their last problem... That day was the day of the Dragon's unveil...the day U will 'breath peacefully again', some virtual advertisments could be read all across the U cities and the multiple arenas #Unveilingday and #Unveilthebeast

Belle looked everywhere at what would be just ashes in an hour or less, she searched in the hallways and in the burnt garden with the Secret Roses but there wasn't a single AS there, she wanted to take one of them but she had her priorities, the Diva rushed to the ballroom in which she once danced with him, now transformed in a battlefield in which her comrades were being defeated

-W-what happened?!- She asked despaired, Belle picked one of the 9 AS that hangs with Ryuu, specifically a mermaid-like AS she is White and Pink, has a small star pin on her hair and purple eyes -P-please I beg You... Protect our Master- Nova whispered weakly
Belle with her eyes filled with tears nodded and told her -Don't worry, I-I will take- but she got interrupted by an arrogant voice which she had heard back at her concert at the Dome

- Well, look who decided to appear, "The Worldwide famous Diva of U", what are You going to do?, sing us a song to stop doing this?- Justin emerged from the smoke, taunting her

Belle gave him a death glare and ranted:

-You've gone too far! Can't You see they are all AS?!, Justin, as I told You, you're just power hungry-

Justin can't help but Laugh maniacally, turns to three his henchmen and demanded:

- Burn down every inch of this castle, that Dragon won't hide for long, if we want to preserve the peace in U, that creature must be desposed of- as the leader of the Justicers was leaving, the echo of his voice resounded in the castle

- I will tell You and only You, a way You can reach our Master- the Mermaid AS had shown the Diva a secret hallway before losing conciousness

- I'm not leaving You all here- Belle commented as She took all 9 of them in her arms and shoulders

-"Wait... Someone is missing... Tenshi!"- The Diva thought

At the same time she went up to the tower, she was searching for her first fan, she wouldn't forget those words he said to her the first day she logged her account on U and sang her first song in 11 years:

- Wow! You're amazing, You're Beautiful- His little voice resounded in her head

Chapter 3: The despaired Diva, the fainted Angel & the distressed Dragon

As the Diva kept running and remembering, she notices a very weakened Tenshi trying to reach the top, he was clearly not prepared for a battle

- I... Need to warn... Ryuu - A very weakened angel with a golden crown groaned as he was crawling on the stairsteps and he collapses

Belle, worried for her friend, Picks Tenshi up and puts him on top of her head and continued to go up

-Don't fret, Tenshi, your Master will be safe!- The Diva declares as she reaches the top just to notice that her problems hadn't ended there yet, because She notices a despaired Ryuu

- Don't be alarmed, we will escape, all 12 of us!- She told him trying her best to be calm, but in reality the Diva felt her heart rushing as if tomorrow didn't exist

- If I can endure it, everything will be alright... Belle, I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you...- Ryuu tried to speak but...

- Jackpot! I found You all in the same spot, how delightful- Justin had followed Belle through the secret hallway and smiled wickedly

- This is the moment the whole World of U have been waiting for!- He belted so every AS would listen

Ryuu just could snarl at him as he recovered his posture, preparing himself for Round 2

As the Justicers Leader activated his light-cannon, Justin asked as a threat:
- So Who's first?-

- Everyone, please stay behind me!- Ryuu demanded and All 9 AS do as he says making Belle feel like somewhat a burden had been lifted from her, but still Tenshi was collapsed...

The Diva couldn't sat there and watch her friend be unveiled before her very eyes, she had to do something, so she put herself together:

- You're totally evil, You don't deserve neither the praise of all U world nor to be called a Justicer!- The Diva exclaimed as She extends her arms in order to protect Ryuu, the 9 AS as well as the collapsed Tenshi at the top of her head

Them and all of the AS of U were shocked, it was the first time someone stood up against a Justicer, not to mention against Justin himself

Without hesitation Justin aims at the Diva
-Very well then...As You like it!- The shot went towards her

- Belle, hold on to me!- Dragon fumed as he took his dear friend away before she was unveiled and escape from there with the 9 AS holding tight to his cape

The Diva just could look behind with regret as She notices how the castle burns down completely and buries her head in Ryuu's gentle grasp

Chapter 4: The Calm after the Storm

Some minutes later Ryuu, Belle, Tenshi and the 9 AS end up in a dark alley in a forgotten city

-Is everyone alright?- Dragon intoned

Everyone except Belle and Tenshi told him they were okay

- How about you, Belle?- Ryuu asked with a gentle voice

Belle just nodded her head slightly in a shockened state as she takes Tenshi on her hands

Some minutes later Angel awakes

- RYUU! we need to flee, the justicers are here! and...- Tenshi quivered

- Don`t worry, you are not endangered anymore- She interrupted the small Angel, smiled kindly and held him for comfort

- Wait... you endangered your (virtual) life just to save us all, Y-you could have been unveiled! Yet you...- Tenshi processed the information and rejoiced:

- I-I'm eternally grateful!!- crying joyfully as he hugs Belle back and in a matter of instants, Nova and the others hugged her saying:

-`You're our heroine!´

Ryuu smiles pleased and marvelled - seems like they like you-

- You think so?- Belle asked as the kids let her go

- I know so...- Ryuu replied with a warm smile

Belle was already smiling back at him to thank him when she overhears a not-so distant news report:

- 'Our beloved Diva, Belle has been kidnapped by the Dragon, we hope Justin and his group of Justicers bring her back safe and sound, if you wish to help type '#LetBELLEbefree'- The reporter explained

- What?!- Belle and Ryuu blurted at the same time

- I didn't kidnapped you, I just ruined your concert and frightened you... which I'm really, really ashamed about- Ryuu acknowledged

Belle sighed and told him:

- You're such a sweet person, I mean you told me that you took these 9 AS to live with you because they were getting bullied... Y-you are such a good person yet I don't understand, why does everybody in U seems to hate you?!...- Her eyes widens and her voice started to crack as realizes something:

- I-I left You without a Home- the Diva mumbled to herself

- You don't need to re-search on that topic, Belle - Ryuu stated

Chapter 5: A song to ease the sorrow down

- You don't need to re-search on that topic, Belle - Ryuu stated

But the Diva had started crying as she collapses into the floor - I left You without a Home!!- She sobbed

- B-Belle... it`s alright, I'll just find another place to stay...- He tried to calm her down with his words but they don't seem to do any effect on her, Dragon felt his heart break as he saw the devastated Diva, so he sighs and clears his throat:

♪♪Despair, solitude and anguish you feel
Carried those feelings
within you
It's not fine to keep them inside

Show me Your face!

Let me clean those tears
and protect your soul
with all my being

Don't look away!

Just tell me your sorrows
tell me all your woes
'cause I won't tell anyone

Open your heart,
let me listen to the story of your life
You can pick where to start

Let me protect that fragile,
broken yet warm heart
with all my steadfastness and might♪♪

 

As The Diva and The Dragon replicate the dance they made back at the ballroom, Tenshi, Nova, Gale, Silky, Madeleine, Enoshima, Elisa, Chanel, Dione and Nilah start to hum as all 12's hearts shined brightly
