XV Episode 8

An ace card installed within the Symphogear system.

In addition to flight capability, in order to greatly boost the total output, tactics and gear become usable in a way differing from the usual, but ―

As its activation requires an enormous amount of phonic gain, in each of the three past instances of its usage, it came about as the miraculous result of situation and circumstance.

Knowing that starting X-Drive would be an enormous strain on her, Carol reserved it as her last trump card in the Kohinata Miku recovery operation,

but due to the failure of the reactivation of the Château de Tiffauges, she was compelled to activate it in order to overcome various obstacles.

Up until now, whatever the circumstance,
with the utilization of an external source of phonic gain,
X-Drive had only ever taken the form of a miracle that was only ever barely achieved.

without relying on anyone's phonic gain but their own,
the adaptors explosively detonated their phonic gain with their Climax Song.

Meteoroid ―― falling, burning, disappearing, and then...

A new final form, Burning X-Drive, was born.
