The Phantom Pain

"The man who sold the world..."

David Bowie

Guilty Valkyrie: The Phantom Pain (The Phantom Pain for short, or simply Valkyrie of Guilt) is an alternate sequel that takes place approximately 60 years after the events of the Guilty Crown television series in the new "Celestial Calendar" or "CC" (pronounced See Two, not to be confused with Code Geass character) era.

It is described as a 're-imagining' as it takes elements from anime and manga in the series (both the older anime (2011 - 2014) and the newer anime (2015), but interprets them in a different way. In one way is that it sets it in a 2088 A.D (0048 CC), a world war breaks out over interplanetary travel tech due to "Fallen Symphony" incident. The environment is pretty much destroyed so mankind leaves Earth and starts Celestial Calender 00. Entertainment, infections and songs become heavily regulated and eventually banned due to their power to move people or executed, but a brave idol group and musicians puts on guerrilla performances in the name of a famous act from earlier times that sang to Earth's bitter end, Muse. The illegal revival group's name is... Valkrie.

Originally, each of the fanfiction was part of the Our Voice due to his favorites music and various material (example Death Are Lives is a part of the Our Voices), later dropped and became the stand-alone story with reference to previous fan story, anime and manga, and video games.
