| abstract | - After Mir was sealed away in the Crescent Chronicle thanks to the efforts of Shurelia and Tastiella De Lu's sacrifice, she continued her actions to destroy mankind by continually sending viruses and making them manifest in the real world through this place to attack the people. Due to this, the humans that had participated in the battle for sealing Mir away, the Apostles of Elemia, established the city of Platina just above the Symphonic Reactor and imposed upon themselves the mission of watching over the Reactor and annihilating any virus that came out from it. At the start of Melody of Elemia, a new kind of virus called ELMA-DS showed up in the Reactor, and Knights of Elemia Lyner Barsett and Ayatane Michitaka were dispatched together with Shurelia to stop it. However, the virus had the ability to use Flip-Flop Conversion, making itself impervious to any attacks, while it also attacked them with a energy beam that damaged the Symphonic Power lines that gave energy to Platina, thus disabling their protection systems. Due to this, Shurelia and Lyner had to run away back to Platina and devise a plan while Ayatane stalled the ELMA-DS, while he also sealed off the Dividing Wall that gave access to the inner areas of the Reactor. However, the virus cornered both Lyner and Shurelia, forcing them to run away to the Gather. It was then that Shurelia told Lyner about the Hymn Crystal Purger, and after giving him a Hymn Brooch with a recording of the Purger's image and allowing him to borrow the airship that was stationed in the Gather, she sent him to the Wings of Horus to seek the crystal. Shortly after Lyner and his newfound friends had found the crystal in the ruins of the Singing Hill, the viruses became far more active, and manipulating the Guardians that were supposed to protect the Tower, they mounted an offensive against the rest of the Knights of Elemia, finally breaching the security network that Platina was barely keeping functional at the moment. Upon getting word that the viruses were acting strange and that they had surrounded themselves in some sort of barrier that made Reyvateils feel sick, Shurelia stepped in and entered into the main room of the Reactor. It was then that she noticed that Mir had awakened once again, although only her voice could come out from the place in which she was sealed. Mir noted that Shurelia hadn't changed anything during all the time she was sealed, and after asking her why she sided with the humans, who she considered as the real viruses that destroyed Ar Ciel. Mir sucked one of the Knights that were near the Reactor and promptly disintigrated him to the shock of everyone present in the place. A Reyvateil that was present in the scene screamed that she didn't want any sort of Reyvateil-only paradise, while Shurelia told Mir that she wasn't going to allow her to continue sabotaging the Tower, to which Mir responded by announcing that she was going to host the greatest ceremony for the coming of the new world, and began by purging the Musical Corridor, making one of its seven plates fall to the Wings of Horus. Shurelia remarked that these actions would disrupt the weather of the world and kill everything in it, to which Mir responded that she wasn't stupid and this was merely part of her plans, and after saying that there was a plan right behind Shurelia, waiting its time for being put into motion, she knocked out everyone with a flash of light. Ayatane arrived shortly later, and after checking out Shurelia's condition, he said that he would protect her to the end of his life, both as a Knight of Elemia, and to save his mother. After undergoing the Circula Baptism at the Frozen Eye, Lyner and his friends found themselves near the Reactor, but before facing the viruses, they went to Platina in order to rest a little and to prepare themselves for the coming battles.
