| In 2197, during the [[Ikaruga Civil War]], Hibiki delivered a report to Kagura amidst a large number of guards from the Zero Squadron that had been stationed around the branch. The report detailed the NOL’s rejection of the [[Ikaruga Federation]]’s offer for a truce, something that Kagura had predicted. Hibiki noted how looters, in the aftermath of the destruction of [[5th Hierarchical City of Ibukido]], had begun destroying Ars Magus ships and causing general mayhem, leading Kagura to suggest that they be taken to the [[13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi]] as refugees. Hibiki respectfully disagreed and left soon afterwards, but promised to return once he had more to report. However, he did inform the Zero Squadron guards outside about Kagura's plan for the refugees' relocation.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend, Story Mode, Kagura "Determination", Episodes 1 - 2''</ref> | | In 2197, during the [[Ikaruga Civil War]], Hibiki delivered a report to Kagura amidst a large number of guards from the Zero Squadron that had been stationed around the branch.

| In the [[7th Hierarchical City of Kazamotsu]], Hibiki went to greet the recently arrived [[Jin Kisaragi]] on behalf of Kagura. He crept up silently on Jin, the latter only becoming aware of Hibiki's presence once he announced himself. Shocked and angry, Jin threatened to kill him should he ever sneak up again on him, but nonetheless willingly followed Hibiki back to Ibukido. | | In the [[7th Hierarchical City of Kazamotsu]], Hibiki went to greet the recently arrived [[Jin Kisaragi]] on behalf of Kagura.

| Under Kagura’s orders, Hibiki assembled the armies located in Ikaruga to take out [[Tenjo Amanohokosaka]]. He regrouped with Kagura to discuss how Jin wielded the [[Nox Nyctores]] - [[Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa]]. Later, a skirmish with [[Sector Seven]] allowed Hibiki and Kagura to move [[Homura Amanohokosaka]] safely out of Ikaruga and into hiding. The two acted under the false pretense that Kagura had been severely injured by [[Iron Tager]]. Hibiki scolded the guards of the Zero Squadron harshly and, using the flow of the moment, was able to dismiss them, allowing Kagura to leave Ikaruga even though the guards had been ordered to prevent it. Once on the ship with Homura safely stowed away, Hibiki criticized Kagura’s awful acting. After they returned to Yabiko, Kagura apologized to him and asked for his assistance on yet another plan, to which Hibiki retorted that Kagura needed his help on everything, but soon after he told Kagura that he would always be by his side. <ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend, Story Mode, Kagura "Determination", Episodes 3 - 4''</ref> | | Under Kagura's orders, Hibiki assembled the armies located in Ikaruga to take out [[Tenjo Amanohokosaka]].

| | Under Kagura's orders, Hibiki was to bring Jin back to the Yabiko branch, as his assistance would allow Kagura's planned coup d'état to go more smoothly. He discovered Jin lurking in the [[9th Hierarchical City of Akitsu-Kou]] and snuck up on him, once again surprising the other when he announced himself right behind him.

| Under Kagura’s orders, Hibiki was to bring Jin back to the Yabiko branch as his assistance would make Kagura’s planned coup d’état go far more smoothly. He discovered Jin lurking in the [[9th Hierarchical City of Akitsu-Kou]] and snuck up on him, once again surprising the other when he announced himself right behind him. After the two reacquainted, Hibiki delivered a letter to Jin detailing what Kagura wanted. Before they left, Jin asked about the city and its weather system, and Hibiki told him that the city's weather control had been damaged along with the cauldron inside the local NOL branch. Jin refused the request and asked Hibiki to take him to the cauldron instead. Hibiki told Jin that he'd suspected he'd say no, so he would simply follow Jin everywhere until he agreed to come with him. Once at the cauldron, Jin requested that Hibiki stay near the entrance, and Hibiki complied. After hearing a commotion, Hibiki hurried to meet up with a now injured Jin, unknowingly interrupting his battle with [[Relius Clover]]. Jin told Hibiki that the situation had changed, and requested to be taken to see Kagura.
| | When they arrived, Hibiki and Jin met up with Kagura and Kokonoe. Hibiki gave his report to Kagura, informing him of the [[Colosseum]]'s status and the twelve guards watching Tsubaki's every move. He then apologized to Kokonoe in advance for any damages sustained to her equipment in the Colosseum, before stating that Makoto was also being watched per Kagura's orders. Hibiki also nonchalantly told Kagura that the electricity bill was an "astronomical" amount, and that Kagura would be paying for it out of his personal bank account. A little while afterwards, he scolded [[Ragna the Bloodedge]] and [[Celica A. Mercury]] for taking two hours to get to the main office of the Yabiko branch when the prison district was a mere ten-minute walk away; however, he did offer to take Ragna to [[Kushinada's Lynchpin]] if he needed guidance.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 10: Brothers''</ref> |

| | On the night before the planned Colosseum tournament, Hibiki put his cooking skills to use and made a buffet for Kagura, Ragna, Jin, Noel, Rachel, [[Nago]], [[Gii]], [[Taokaka]], Makoto, Kokonoe, and Celica. Rachel thanked him for the meal, calling it outstanding and thoroughly complimenting him for his cooking prowess; she was so impressed that she trusted Hibiki to select a brew of tea for her.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 11: The Night Before…''</ref> Hibiki later scolded Ragna for suddenly bursting into Kagura's office, and looked on as Ragna threatened Kokonoe after learning that Celica was the key to activating Kushinada's Lynchpin. At that time, Hibiki was introduced to [[Valkenhayn R. Hellsing]], Rachel's butler and a former member of the Six Heroes. |

| On the night before the planned Colosseum tournament, Hibiki put his cooking skills to use and made an entire buffet for Kagura, Ragna, Jin, Noel, Rachel, [[Nago]], [[Gii]], [[Taokaka]], Makoto, Kokonoe, and Celica. Rachel thanked him for the meal, calling it outstanding and thoroughly complimenting him for his cooking prowess; so impressed was she that she trusted Hibiki enough on which particular brew of tea should be selected for her. Hibiki later scolded Ragna for suddenly bursting into Kagura's office, and looked on as Ragna threatened Kokonoe after learning that Celica was the key to activating Kushinada's Lynchpin. At that time he was introduced to [[Valkenhayn R. Hellsing]], Rachel’s butler and a former member of the Six Heroes.
| | As he had offered earlier, Hibiki guided Ragna, Noel, and Celica to the entrance of Kushinada's Lynchpin, but soon left to return to Kagura and Homura's side.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 16: Kushinada's Lynchpin''</ref> However, after a battle at the Yabiko branch, he was restrained by [[Nine the Phantom]] and [[Hades: Izanami]] while trying to defend Homura alongside Kagura and Jin. After retraining him, Izanami was able to viciously attack and injure Kagura before Hibiki was able to rush to his aid.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Chrono Phantasma, Episode 17: Doomsday''</ref> |

| As promised earlier, Hibiki guided Ragna, Noel, and Celica to the entrance of Kushinada’s Lynchpin, but soon left to return to Kagura and Homura's side. However, after a battle at the Yabiko branch, he was restrained by [[Nine the Phantom]] and [[Hades: Izanami]] when trying to defend Homura alongside Kagura and Jin. Because Izanami had him restrained, she was able to viciously attack Kagura, leaving him injured before Hibiki was able to rush to his aid. After the loss of [[seithr]], Hibiki helped gather survivors into one area to better preserve resources. He praised Homura for managing to hold the NOL together, and noted that the [[Amaterasu Unit]] and the [[Embryo]] were above Yabiko; not only this, but he also informed Kagura that Jin was in critical condition after his battle with Ragna. He then connected Kagura and Kokonoe via intercom so they could freely communicate about future plans.

| | Kokonoe arrived in Yabiko with [[Celica A. Mercury]] as a guest. Hibiki prepared special candy for Kokonoe but later chastised the two after they accidentally made Celica's presence known to [[Izanami]]. Since Celica was their ace for defeating the Imperator, he reminded them of the courtesy that Kagura had shown them. He later reported the details to Kagura all at once.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 3: The Melancholy of Celica''</ref> At some point later, Hibiki told Kagura that another Duodecim household had come to their side, but was interrupted by Kokonoe, who made them aware that Izanami's intervention had begun, worrying them.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 4: The Land of Ikaruga''</ref> Kokonoe also reminded them both that Izanami likely knew about their rebellion because of the interventions.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 6: Litchi's Determination''</ref> He also delivered a report to Kokonoe and Kagura concerning the rising seithr levels in Ikaruga over the last few days.<ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Story Mode, Sector Seven, Episode 7: Looming Darkness''</ref> |
