New chapter in.

And just to be clear.

If you don't like this book, you can leave. No one is forcing you to stay.

(Because I can't really tell if somebody being a troll or not)

Thank you all for waiting.

We got some new casts coming in.

And I'm curious to see your reactions.

Because it's going to be weird.

And now to the fun part.

The chapter!

Don't own the Art or the video.

They belong to their respective creators.

Enjoy!

"Before we get into this."

Zero hummed.

"Let's bring some familiar faces to our Valkyrie friends."

???

"What do you-??"

SNAP!

Theresa question was cut off as a portal opened.

"Whoa!" "What in the world?" "Ack!" "Eek!"

Came the shout of surprise as several people suddenly found themselves in the theater.

"What the hell!?"

An angry red head shouted, annoyed that she was dragged away from her work.

"Who's responsible for this!?"

A blonde haired, purple eyed woman shouted, angered that someone dared to kidnap her.

"Well."

A blond-haired, green-eyed male drawled out.

"How unexpected."

His voice got several people attention.

"YOU!!"

Several of them yelled as they lunged at him.

Causing a blonde haired, blue eyed girl and a light grey haired, dark pink eyed maid to step in front of us.

Only for...

BAM!

"OW!!"

For them to hit an invisible wall, startling the cast.

"What the hell!?"

The red head shouted.

"Damn it!"

The blonde screamed.

"Great."

A blue haired girl sarcastically said.

"Otto."

A brown haired, brown eyed male calmly said.

(Welt Yang)

"Welt Yang."

(Otto Apokalypse)

Otto Apokalypse coolly greeted.

"Is this YOUR doing?"

He got to the point.

"As much as I would like to credit." Otto shook his head. "Sadly, this has nothing to do with me."

"Then who?" A white-haired, blue-eyed male that could pass as Dante Sparda or as his descendent stoically asked. "Brought us here?"

Before anyone could offer a possible answer.

BAM!

"ACK!"

!?!?

The white-haired male screamed in pain as his side was suddenly kicked.

HARD.

He could feel some bones breaking.

"DEADBEAT DAD!!!"

Kiana voice could be heard as she repeatedly kicked him.

"Gah! Kiana!?" Her dad shouted in shock. "How are you here?!"

"I've been here for a long time, DEADWEIGHT!!"

"And now that I finally got you where I want you. PAYBACK FOR GETTIGN THE MILK AND NEVER COMING BACK!!"

"GACK!!"

The Teyvatians could only stare in shock and slight fear as Kiana repeatedly kicked her father to the curb.

While Schicksal, Anti-entropy just stared in mild shock and disbelief.

"Umm..."

The younger blonde slowly opened her mouth.

"That's enough, Kiana."

Only for Mei to speak faster as she calmed her friend down.

"No need to beat him up so bad."

"Thank you!"

Kiana dad wept tears of joy at her kindness.

"You still gotta milk him for the years he's been gone."

"WAAAUGGGHH!!"

Kiana dad soon copied Waluigi scream.

"Overseer."

Theresa Apokalypse calmly greeted her 'grandfather.'

"Theresa." Otto blinked in surprise. What was she doing here? "Report. What is going on?"

But before she could say anything.

"What?"

!?

A very familiar voice interrupted them.

"What's going on?"

'That voice!!'

Kiana and her father slowly turned to see.

(Cecelia Schariac-Kaslana)

"Mama!?" "Cecelia!?"

!?

"Those voices!!" She muttered out loud as she turned to see.

"Kiana!?" "Siegfried!?"

Her beloved family rushing towards her.

*Grab*

And pulling her into a hug.

"I can't believe it's you, mama!"

Kiana cried as she hugged her mother.

"I-I don't know what's going on." Siegfried stumbled over his words. "But please don't let it be a dream!"

"..." Cecelia returned their hugs.

Still confused on what was happening.

"Cecelia?" Otto frowned.

What was she doing alive?

But his thoughts were soon cut short as a VERY familiar voice caught his attention.

"Otto?"

!?

"It...it can't be!!"

Otto slowly turned in disbelief.

Only to see...

(Kallen Kaslana)

"Kallen?"

Otto muttered in disbelief.

"Otto!" Kallen smiled, happy to see her old friend again. "You're safe!"

"Kallen!"

Otto cried a bit as he ran towards her.

"Otto!"

Kallen smiled as she ran towards him as well.

Leaving a pouting pink fox by herself.

(Time to make a hilarious and unexpected plot twist)

(Well, maybe not that unexpected if you know the scene I'm about to make.)

-Insert happy soundtrack-

"Kallen!"

Otto shouted.

"Otto!"

Kallen smiled.

"Kallen!"

"Otto!"

"Kallen!"

Otto joyfully shouted.

"Otto!"

Kallen smiled.

"KALLLLEN." 😡

Soon Otto expression started turning angry.

"Otto?"

Kallen had a look of confusion on her face.

"KALLEN!" 🤬

Otto face was held pure, apocalyptic rage on it.

Soon, Kallen remembered a certain something.

"O_O Oh, Sugar Honey Iced Tea." 😱

And quickly made a u-turn as she started running for her life.

"KALLEN!"

Otto jumped in the air as she shouted.

"Eep!"

Kallen screamed as Otto shouted again.

"I'm going to kill you!"

https://youtu.be/5UqcF-Qc5q0

(Starts at 1:56 - 3:32. Let me know if there's a problem with the video. This will always make sense in a couple of parts down below)

"Hey, hold up!"

Kallen shouted as she managed to evade her angry friend hands.

"Don't you run away!" Otto shouted. "Get over here and take your punishment like the Valkyrie you are."

Otto shouted as he continued chasing after her.

"AHH!!"

Kallen screamed in terror.

While the audience.

O_O

Yeah...

*TMP*

Rita quickly grabbed them all into a hug, with Otto and Kallen next to each other.

"Ah, look at this." She said. "Reunited at last!"

She cheerfully said, ignoring Otto glaring angrily at a fearful Kallen. While the fox was just confused on why Otto is trying to kill Kallen.

"But again." The blue haired girl calmly asked. "Where are we?"

O_O}}

Slowly, they turned to around to see...

"...A theater?"

Cecelia asked in disbelief.

"It's a somewhat long story."

Kiana shrugged.

"Wait...what?"

Siegfried looked at his daughter in confusion.

While a certain nutjob.

'The host of the Third Herrscher is here!'

She thought to herself.

'This will be more fortuitous than I thought.'

She thought deviously to herself.

"Not even in your dreams."

(Cocolia)

"Cocolia."

Zero cold voice quickly crushed her daydreams.

!?!?

As the newcomers turned to meet Zero icy gaze.

"Greetings Otto Apokalyse and his friends." Zero nodded. "Greetings Welt Yang and his band of idiots and dumbasses."

"HEY!"

The red head yelled.

"Why do we get the cold shoulder!?" She yelled. "That slimeball Otto deserves it!"

"I have zero fucks to give." Zero deadpanned.

Ignoring everyone else snickering at the unintended pun.

"And I could care less about Otto as he doesn't annoy as much as you do."

!?!?

"Why you!"

"Zip it!"

Zero made a zipping motion.

"Mmph!

The red head screamed as her voice was muffled by a zipper suddenly appearing on her mouth.

"Now then." Zero dusted his hands. "Introductions are in order."

I am Zero."

He introduced himself.

"And to put it into simple terms that even idiots!"

He turned to the red head.

"MMPH! 🤬"

Who blistered at that insult.

"Can understand."

He finished.

"I...am a literal God of the Multiverse."

...

...

"...WHAT!?"

-One Explanation Later-

"...I see."

Otto slowly understood as he and everyone else digested the information slowly.

"You're really a God."

"Correct."

Zero nodded.

"There are many alternate universes that existed."

Welt calmly spoke.

"Got it."

"You decided to bring us here to watch an alternate world for the hell of it."

The maid simply said.

"Got it."

"Okay..." Otto nodded. "Now if you'll excuse me."

Quickly turning around, he chased after Kallen again.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Eek!" Kallen screamed as she used Himeko as a barrier of sorts. "Hold on! Ten seconds time out!"

Her pleas fell on deaf ears.

"I'm going to kill you and bury you and dig out your dead body and clone you and then kill all of your clones!"

Otto ranted as Theresa used her students as her meat shields.

"And then! I'm never going to talk to you ever again!"

"Hey!"

Himeko interrupted.

"I thought you were in love with her!"

She shouted.

"Isn't that why you were doing all those crazy things!?"

"In love with her?" Otto blinked, before slowly shaking his head. "I got over it a long time ago."

!!!

"Then why..."

Theresa was now confused.

"I wanted to bring her back so I can make her pay and then kill her with my own two hands!"

Otto tried to catch Kallen who barely managed to evade him.

"But why?"

The pink haired fox that resembles a certain GI Fox asked.

None of this was making any sense!

"Because she still owes me money!"

*SCREECH!!*

The sound of a record screeching could be heard as everybody looked at him.

"...What?"

Cocolia and the others just stared at him in disbelief.

"The Bronya believes that Overseer Otto cannot be serious."

Bronya tone of disbelief could be heard.

"Believe me, it would have been better if it was a joke." Otto growled. "But she owes me money and took the easy way out of paying me!"

"But why!?"

The red head was finally free to speak.

"Because of all the times I was sent to the hospital for her shitty cooking!!"

*DONG!!*

A loud noise could be heard at that.

"Seriously!?"

Many people shouted.

"You made our lives a living hell just because she wouldn't pay your hospital bill!?"

Siegfried looked at him like he was insane.

"..."

*RUSTLE*

Otto pulled out a seemingly ordinary scroll and let it roll down as it started rolling on the floor.

And rolling.

And rolling.

...And rolling.

"What the fuck!?"

Kiana shouted in disbelief as the scroll kept rolling and rolling.

"What...is this?"

The blonde Valkyrie nervously asked.

"A record of every time I was sent to the hospital after being forced to eat Kallen terrible cooking."

Otto deadpanned.

"Vinegar pizza?"

Paimon began slowly reading.

"Potassium soup?"

"BURNT WATER!?"

She shouted that part out as she continued reading.

"...How the hell can one burn water?"

Lumine looked in shock as she started to read some of the things on there.

(Feel free to suggest what else is on the list)

"...Wow."

Dottore stared in shock.

"Just...how in her Excellency name is all of this humanly possible?"

The Doctor has done some messed up things. But even he was not prepared for the many, MANY things that were written on that list Recording Kallen terrible cooking legacy.

"...Now, I'm starting to understand why you keep trying to kill me."

Siegfried deadpanned.

While Anti Entropy just read in shock.

"...That's pure trauma."

Was the spoken agreement.

"Look." Zero crossed his arms. "You can kill her later."

"Meep!"

Kallen squeaked.

"But right now, we got a show to watch, and you guys need to introduce yourselves."

"...Very well."

Otto conceded.

He's waited centuries for this, he can wait a little longer.

"I'm Otto Apokalypse." He introduced himself. "I'm the Overseer of Schicksal."

The maid stepped up.

(Rita Rossweisse)

"I'm Rita Rossweisse." She bowed, gracefully. "I am the Maid of Schicksal."

!?

"A...maid?"

Kaeya just stared at her in disbelief.

And he was pretty sure Diluc was doing the same.

Considering that she reminded them of Adelinde, they had reasons to doubt.

"A pleasure to meet you."

She finished as though he hadn't said anything.

"I am Durandal."

(Durandal)

Durandal introduced herself.

"I am a Valkyrie and leader of the Immortal Blades."

The young girl introduced herself.

...They did not know why, but they felt danger screaming at them.

"I am Welt Yang."

Welt introduced himself.

"I am the leader of Anti-Entropy."

And that was it.

"I am Cocolia."

Cocolia introduced herself.

"I lead a faction in AE."

And that was all she said.

"I am Tesla!" The red haired girl shouted in anger.

(Frederica Nikola Tesla)

"And I'm not an idiot! B("

She angrily shouted.

"Debatable."

Zero simply said.

"AGH!"

"I am Einstein."

(Liserl Albert Einstein)

Edison interrupted her friend.

"You can call me Eins."

"I am Cecelia Schariac-Kaslana."

Cecelia introduced herself.

"I am the mother of Kiana and the wife of Siegfried."

She pointed to Kiana and Siegfried.

"What's up?" Siegfried greeted. "I'm Siegfried Kaslana."

(Siegfried Kaslana)

"Resident badass and ladykiller."

BONK!

"Pervy old man!"

Kiana hit him on the head.

Cecelia sweatdropped.

What had happened after she died?

"I am Kallen Kaslana."

The girl introduced herself.

"I died a long time, only to be brought back to life to only probably die again."

She sweatdropped.

"I am Yae Sakura."

(Yae Sakura)

The fox girl introduced herself.

"It is a pleasure to meet you."

She bowed her head.

"Oh, my!"

Yae Miko covered her mouth with her hand, giggling at the sight before her.

"This is most interesting!"

Grabbing Yae attention, she turned to see.

???

"Why do we look alike?"

Yae asked in confusion.

"Probably because our world hosts a variety of characters that seem to share similarities with your world."

Miko smiled.

"I am Yae Miko, it's an honor to meet you Yae Sakura."

She purred out the last part.

*ZIP!!*

Causing Yae Sakura to hide behind Kallen back.

"Keep her away from me!"

She shouted in fear.

Startling a certain Geo dog with that.

'She's scared of her?!' He shouted in his head. 'I thought she would be exactly like her!!'

Yae Sakura felt like skinning a dog and turning into a fur pelt for some reason.

"Anyways." Zero begun. "We should get back."

"..."

"...Ah, to hell with it!"

???

*Swish!!*

Opening two portals, he brought two more guests.

"Ahh!" "EEP!!"

!?

'That voice!'

Bronya and the others thought to themselves.

It couldn't be!

"Ow."

A young girl with Purplish-black hair and light purple eyes rubbed her head in pain.

(Seele Vollerei)

"What?"

A black-haired, green-eyed girl looked in shock.

(Wendy. Herrscher of Wind)

'She looks like Lord Barbatos/Venti/Me!!'

The Teyvatians stared at the girl in shock.

"What's going on?"

Seele stared in shock.

Wasn't she trapped in the Quantum Sea?

"Se-SEELE?"

Bronya voice caught Seele attention.

"Bronya?"

Seele stared in shock.

Was this a dream?

"SEELE!"

Bronya shouted in joy as she hugged her friend.

"BRONYA!!"

Seele smiled as she hugged her back.

"Where are we?"

Seele asked.

"And why are we here?"

Wendy shyly questioned.

A little bit unnerved by the number of people here.

Especially some she did not want to see.

"Well..."

Bronya trailed off, not sure how to explain.

"Long story short."

Ei quickly took over and explained.

After explaining.

"I see."

Seele and Wendy understood.

...Even though it was a mess of an explanation.

Seele walked to Zero and bowed her head in gratitude.

"Thank you for giving me this chance!"

She happily said.

"It's no problem." Zero smiled.

"Also."

*HUM*

???

"I've healed your body." Zero told Wendy, holding out something. "And removed this minor annoyance as well."

!?

"THAT'S!!"

Schicksal, Cocolia and AE, except Welt, shouted in shock as Zero held the Gem of Desire in his hand.

"A powerful artifact." Zero hummed as he encased the GoD in a prism of Light. "This is staying with me until you guys return to your worlds."

"Who do you-!?"

"A very powerful God that can kick your Herrschers asses in a variety of ways." Zero warned. "Don't make me destroy you."

His words were more than enough to shut them up.

"Now, sit."

He said, directing them to their seats.

"Unbelievable." Tesla grumbled. "Taking orders from a damn stranger."

"I can make the seats very uncomfortable, you know."

Zero warned.

!!

"Don't test my patience."

!!!

"R-ROGER!!"

Tesla screamed as they sat down.

And nearly fell asleep at how comfortable the seats were.

"Now."

Zero smirked.

"Let's get this party started!"

-In a certain Tavern-

Two figures were conversing inside a building, going over the reports of the Tavern profits.

"Oh!" Donna shouted. "It's Master Diluc and Charles!"

"Master Diluc" One of the two men spoke up. "This is the report for this week's accounts."

A familiar redhead clad in black, took the papers and slowly went over them.

"Hmmmm," Diluc frowned, "The Stormterror disaster has been affecting business more than I anticipated."

"That was a pain." Diluc groaned. "Stormterror rampage certainly caused a lot of damage."

Various people groaned at that.

"Gooood..."

Diona whispered to herself.

Now if only the dragon had completely annihilated the Wine Industry her life would be complete.

"No, it wouldn't."

Zero sighed as he looked at her.

!!!

Now, all eyes were on her.

"Huh?"

Diona asked.

"You are so single mindedly obsessed with destroying the Wine Industry, you fail to comprehend the repercussions it would have."

"What repercussions!?" Diona shouted in shock. "Wouldn't it make people be sober and be happy!?"

"NO."

Many people deadpanned.

"Profits made from the Wine Industry contribute a major part in Mondstadt economy."

Ei spoke up.

Surprising everyone at her knowledge of a foreign nation economy. Even if she was an alternate version of the Almighty Shogun.

"Part of the reason Mondstadt is able to thrive is thanks to the Wine industry." She continued. "If something were to happen that would make Wine profits go down, or heavens forbid, the Wine industry is gone."

"Mondstadt will be going through very turbulent times." Zero sighed. "And if that happens, the rest of the nation is affected. Think about it."

"If Mondstadt economy is unstable."

"Than the game and supplies that Hunters bring into the city are, more or less, useless because they won't have the money to be able to safely afford them."

Ningguang nodded.

"Correct." Zero confirmed, not surprised that she knew. "It will cause all kinds of havoc and would make it even worse. Some people enjoy a good merely for just its taste. And if you try to cut an alcoholic off without having them slowly assert self-control...it generally doesn't turn out good."

"No doubt, drastic measures will be taken." Ningguang continued. "Mondstadt cannot survive without a good source of income. And if you take away one major source of income, the consequences can be dire. And like Zero said, all of Mondstadt, not just the city, will be affected."

"Hunters can't make a living if their source of income is unable to buy from them. Eventually, they will be forced to seek business somewhere else."

"And the road is long and harsh." Nahida gave Diona a disappointed look that made the cat girl turned away. "They could very well die from just the journey alone, if the monsters don't get them first."

!?!?

"I..."

Diona could not try to argue.

She never thought of what might happen if she ever did succeed in destroying the Wine Industry.

"And let's not get into the possibility of you being killed."

Zero deadpanned.

"EH!?"

Diona shouted in shock and fear, as Draff look at him in disbelief.

"What?" Zero gave them an unamused stare. "Do you honestly think people are going to be forgiving and understanding once you give them your reasons?"

"Trust me. Don't try it. People tend to lose all reason once in a rage."

"Might need to make some changes for the time being Charles."

"Yes, Master Diluc"

Swing/creak

In came our heroes with Venti at the front.

"And here we are."

Venti smiled.

"Pardon me" Venti said "But do you have any tables that are uhh...the least inconspicuous?"

*SMACK*

Many people facepalmed themselves at that.

"You really are an idiot."

Lumine grumbled.

(M/N) facepalmed at Venti lack of subtly, glancing at the two eyes slightly widening at the sight of Diluc.

'Huh, and here I thought Nobles didn't like to get their hands dirty. Though I am surprise to see a man of his stature working at a bar.'

"Just because I'm from a noble clan doesn't mean I like leaving things handled by my servants."

Diluc deadpanned.

"Would have thought he realized that when you made your appearance in the temple."

Himeko shrugged.

Blinking, Diluc responded: "The second floor is your best bet, though aren't you a bard?"

"Haha!" Venti laughed, "Let's save the paid performance for another time. Ciao!"

"Why didn't you just say you were tired and didn't want to meet any possibles fans tonight?"

Wendy looked at her counterpart.

"That would have been a more reasonable explanation since you are a bard."

Venti opened his mouth...

...Then closed it.

"Tone Deaf bard."

Paimon grumbled.

With that said, the group headed to the second floor.

Diluc watched them leave, confused on what was going on though he didn't show it.

"Master Diluc always was good at keeping his emotions on track."

Charles shook his head in amusement.

"Keep an eye them" He ordered Charles. "Something not right, and I'm going to find out what it is."

"How though?" Charles questioned his boss.

Smirking, Diluc crossed his arms before responding: "By asking the 'protectors' of Mondstadt of course."

"Ouch."

Many knights said as Varka sighed.

'He still carries a grudge because of back then.'

Not that Varka could blame him. He too would be mad if he found out the truth was being covered for the sake of the Knights dignity and image.

As if on cue, two KOF came rushing in.

"Master Diluc!" One knight, Otto, greeted. "Have you seen two thieves lurking around?"

"Thieves?" Diluc feign confusion, as dots were already being made from that question. "What happened?"

"Oh, he's good."

Beidou shook her head in amazement.

"You haven't heard yet, Master Diluc?" Miles, the other knight, said. "Two thieves were spotted trying to steal the Holy Lyre!"

"The Holy Lyre?" Diluc frowned, did that bard and her friends have something to do with it? "That's rather odd."

"Isn't it?" Miles said, "The Holy Lyre was once the Anemo Archon song bearer and is our nation history! Why someone-"

"Why on Teyvat would they steal something that can't really be sold?" Diluc interrupted, "They have better luck stealing from my cellars and selling that off."

"Blackmail, perhaps."

Siegfried suggested.

"It might not be able to make a dime, but its historical value to your nation might make it a good bargaining chip."

"...Huh." Diluc raised an eyebrow. "Can't believe I never thought of it that way."

The Fatui grumbled as they realized that they lost a key advantage.

"...Huh?" Otto was confused.

"Sorry, got off topic there." Diluc apologized, "As for the thieves, I believe I saw a couple of suspicious characters heading that way."

*SIGH*

The Knights of Favonius just shook their heads at that.

Of course, he would play them for fools.

Pointing to a random location, the knights thanked him and wen running off. Hoping to catch the phantom thieves.

After the guards left, Diluc turned his attention to the group of interest.

"When did they get back down?"

Kaveh blinked.

"Now then," Venti started, "I think I'll a glass of..."

"You can put back the bottle of wine you stole from the counter."

Diluc deadpanned, shocked at the bard audacity.

"The pure audacity." Diluc shook his head. "The only kind I have seen in Kaeya."

"You wound me, Master Diluc."

"Shut up."

"...something cold."

"Ironic for a Pyro user."

Eula shook her head.

"I have questions and I want the answers to them."

"Right" Venti said, "Let me just finish my drink first and I'll pay you with a performance that will answer all of your questions."

"It's not about money and aren't you too young to be drinking anyways?"

PFT!

Many people snorted at that.

Even Diluc couldn't help but crack a smile at the irony.

(M/N) snorted at the irony, if anything he was the youngest out of the group here. Well, besides Paimon but who knows how old she really is.

"Paimon is Paimon!"

The fairy shouted.

"Still doesn't answer the question."

Lumine deadpanned,

"Venti, who is this?" Aether asked, his heart having calm down from running away from the guards.

"Oh!" Venti suddenly realized, "This is Master Diluc, the boss well actually owner of this tavern. He's real famous as one of Teyvat wine makers. His dandelion wine is my favorite though I can only afford a bottle or two."

"Must be some pretty good wine."

A connoisseur mused to himself.

"It's a commodity among the Seven Nations."

Diluc smirked in pride.

'...Where the heck do you leave your mora, Barbatos?'

"Yeah..." Cecelia gave the Anemo Archon an unimpressed look. "Where do you leave your money? How can a God be broke?"

"...Ehe."

Venti said.

"Is that really your answer to everything?"

Xinyan asked.

(M/N) facepalmed, before speaking out loud. "And on his off time, sneaking into abandoned temples and beating up hilichurls and abyss mages."

"I'd feel bad."

Kiana shook her head.

"But since they are trying to kill innocent people, I guess it's only fair to give them a taste of their own medicine."

Aether bristled at that.

'Of course, YOU would say that!' He mentally screamed to himself. 'You are probably that damn Sustainer counterpart in another world!'

'You are most likely no better than her!'

...Aether was VERY lucky that Ignika (M/N) was not here to hear his thoughts.

Otherwise, the Abyss Order would be out of a Prince.

Diluc turned to him in surprise, before realization set as he recognized the male.

"You're the one who was with Kaeya." Diluc realized.

"I'm surprised you even knew he was there."

Amber sweatdropped.

"You got it." (M/N) confirmed, "Though I'm surprised you even realized I was there with you and Captain Eyepatch arguing like there's no tomorrow."

"Captain Eyepatch?"

Kaeya sweatdropped.

"It fits you."

Cyno nodded his head.

Shaking his head, Diluc got straight to the point: "The guards told me something interesting. A pair of thieves tried to steal the Holy Lyre der Himmel from the Cathedral."

...Ehe.

"For the record." Diluc crossed his arms, an amused smirk on his face. "I do like your guts and audacity at trying to steal it in the first place."

"Is this really the time to be praising them?" Quinn asked him in disbelief. "You do realize they were trying to take a priceless treasure, right?"

"They would have returned it." Diluc shrugged. "And it's not every day you meet people as daring as them."

"It wasn't us!" Paimon shouted, "The real thief is still out there!"

"Ah, but comrade." Childe shook his head. "If things had gone the way, you intended it to. Then you would have been the thieves."

"Paimon knows that!"

"And that's what I wanted to talk about." (M/N) spoke up, turning to Aether and Paimon. "What happened?"

"And here, we have an unhappy (M/N)."

Kunikuzushi shook his head.

"Nothing out of the ordinary."

...Thrilling.

So, Aether and Paimon explained what had happened during their time in the Cathedral inner chamber. And explained to Diluc about their connections to the KOF.

"Purple clothing, mask." (M/N) frowned, realizing what that person was. "That was a Cicin Mage, one of the Fatui stronger members, though not as strong as their Harbingers."

"Damn it!" (M/N) cursed, startling them. "We were too careless, I should have knock out that Fatui member stationed in the Church the moment I saw him. No doubt he was the one to alert the rest of the stationed Fatui here about our plans. No doubt that they most likely been looking for it too with no success until now."

Viktor sweatdropped.

He had a feeling he did NOT want to be on the receiving end of one of (M/N) punches.

The Sisters were muttering to themselves about a missed opportunity to get him out of the church.

"They must have sent that Cicin to shadow you and when you found the Holy Lyre they swooped in for the kill."

Diluc surmised, knowing the whole story now.

...And resisting the urge to try to kill some Fatui members for touching one of Mondstadt most sacred treasures.

"And here comes Diluc hate boner."

Kaeya shook his head.

BAM!

Only for Diluc to punch him in the face.

"*Sigh* The Knights of Favonius...Inefficient to the very end. And towards the Fatui? Weak and conservative."

"Master Diluc, you know why."

Jean sighed.

"Doesn't change the fact that they show such disrespect to our nation."

Diluc growled.

Causing the 'diplomats' to wilt.

Growling in anger, he sighed: "Forget it. I don't want to talk about it."

"But why did you guys need it that you attempted to steal it?"

That was now the question on his mind. What did they need for?

"Are you sure you want to know?" Venti giggled, "Doing so will drag you into the Knights of Favonius affairs."

"Ugh, it's fine." Diluc grunted, "I always get dragged somehow whether I like it or not."

"Isn't that the truth."

Diluc grumbled.

Always having to make sure the Knights don't leave anything dangerous behind.

Varka shook his head.

'Seems like despite Diluc hate towards the Knights of Favonius, he still cares enough to make sure they don't leave a mess behind.'

"Okay." Venti said, "Just how much will I get paid for my performance?"

"Not getting sent to jail?"

Sucrose asked.

"It can range from 5 mora to the Holy Lyre from the story you weave."

"Very well then," Venti began. "Let me sing a tale of the exiled dragon."

"Here we go again."

-Short time later-

"What?" Diluc was flabbergasted, a feat not so easily achieved mind you, at what he just learned. "This is-I-is it alright for me to learn about such sensitive information?"

"This coming from you?"

A Mondstadter raised an eyebrow.

"Who knows?" Venti mysteriously said, "Perhaps the winds are changing?"

'Or perhaps old faces are making you reminisce about the past.'

Zero and the others thought to themselves.

"Hmmm" Diluc pondered, "Alright, I'm going to need some time and make contact with my informants. Travelers, it would seem you guys are not suspects due to being Honorary Knights yourselves."

"Huh?"

"The wanted poster seems to make a detail of blond hair but nothing else."

"HUH?!"

...Seriously?

"...HOW!?" Dehya shouted. "Seriously, how?!"

"That's some crazy luck they have!"

Bennett shouted.

Where they idiots or something?

"No, that's the Fatui."

Durandal deadpanned.

"HEY!"

The Fatui shouted.

Unless...

???

'Did Barbatos use her powers as the Anemo Archon to alter their memories of the thieves?'

(M/N) thought to himself.

!!!

"That...makes sense."

Mona said out loud.

"Even if Venti has left control to the humans, as their God it's probably goes to say that he still exerts some level of control. However mildly it is."

"Huh?" Amber blinked. "You learn something new every day."

"The bard though" Diluc said, "It's probably better if you stay here for the time being."

"Worst decision of my life."

Diluc grumbled.

"Best decision ever!"

Venti smiled.

"Hey, fine with me." Venti said.

"Prepare yourselves in the meantime and get plenty of rest. We'll meet tonight once the tavern closes."

Nods were seen at that as everyone left to do their own things.

Waiting for night to fall once again.

"So, you guys basically did nothing but wait?"

Xiangling asked the two.

"Yep!"

Lumine and Paimon nodded their heads.

-Timeskip to Nightfall-

"Welcome back!" Venti cheerily greeted the Outlanders.

"Wait" A new voice spoke out in surprise. "(M/N)? Aether? Paimon?"

!!!

"That voice!"

"...Jean?" The three said in shock. What was the Acting Grandmaster of all people doing here?

"You were there too?"

Someone asked.

"Yes." Jean nodded. "I was aware of what had been going on with the Holy Lyre."

"...Huh." Someone else said. "And here I thought you were a strict stickler for the rules."

"I did say I would make contact with my connections." Diluc explained, "And the Jean here is different than the Jean that leads the Knights of Favonius."

"Wait" Realization set in for the Dandelion Knight. "So, the theft of the Holy Lyre involves you guys?"

"YEP!"

Many people shouted in agreement.

"Hey!"

Paimon shouted in annoyance.

"...How much have you been told?" (M/N) sighed.

"That the Holy Lyre should be able to purify and quell Stormterror rage and return him back to normal."

"So, only the important part."

Tighnari answered.

"Got it."

"Yep!" Venti confirmed, "And our dear (M/N) and Aether are putting themselves on the front line to resolve this crisis once and for all."

"Now that's the hotshots of the KOF we need!"

"Kind of still feels like we're breaking the law." Paimon quietly said.

"...Paimon" (M/N) deadpanned, "Did you forget that I beat up the Fatui for being a bunch of arrogant buffoons for their lack of tact concerning Stormterror? Or did you forget that Aether kicked Kaeya in the nuts for deceiving you guys with that bogus quest even though it was to capture a bunch of thieves?"

"True..."

People sweatdropped at that.

"We've been breaking the law just by breathing."

"They break the law by existing."

Cyno deadpanned.

Diluc raised an eyebrow at that. Didn't know that had happened. Weird, he would have loved to see the Fatui put in their place or watch Kaeya karma wreak its horrid vengeance upon him.

"You'd think he would have been on the front row seats watching this with popcorn."

Wagner shook his head.

It was WELL known throughout Mondstadt, just how much Diluc hated the Fatui.

"True" Paimon felt a little better.

Getting back on topic, Diluc continued: "I understand just how absurd the solution turned out to be. But the bard can sing the song again to per-"

"I believe you" Jean simply said.

"...That was fast."

Jean and Barbara's parents said.

'Maybe I need to teach her how to not be so quick to believe a situation.'

Their mom thought to herself.

"Persuade our stubborn commander that...wait, what?"

Now Diluc was surprised.

"There's a shocker."

Hertha looked amused at the look of surprise on Diluc face.

"Don't think I've ever seen such an expression on his face before."

Many Mondstadters nodded in agreement.

Diluc grumbled to himself.

"I honestly cannot think of any reason for Dvalin betrayal since it was once one of the Four Winds. But this, it all makes sense."

"If the battle from so long ago poisoned it, and then the Abyss Mage corrupted it after waking up. Then can we really blame him for his actions?"

"NO."

Was unanimous agreement.

Causing several people to grumble at easily being shot down before they could say anything.

Here she sighed.

"Unfortunately, if I issued a statement like that without proof that's political suicide. And then there's the whole situation with Fatui, they are still pushing the envelope on killing him without cause."

"Seriously!" Xinyan glared at them. "Mind your own business!"

The Fatui glared.

Only to look away as the Valkyries and AE gave them an unimpressed glare.

They were not testing their luck against them!

"People would think I have the lost control of the situation. Which is why I must do this in private."

"So, Jean really can take different roles when need to."

Barbara muttered to herself.

Just yet another secret that keeps them apart.

"Hmph!" Diluc scoffed, arms crossed. "One of the reasons I can't stand the KOF now, always having to play nice with scum like the Fatui."

"But I'm rather surprised at how easily you believe all of this, Jean."

"That's for sure."

"My dear cautious and meticulous superior, even you of all people trust them. Don't you sir?"

"So, she trusts Diluc judgement a lot then." Aloy spoke. "I guess if the stoic bartender trusts them, it's more than enough for her."

"Didn't I tell you not to call me sir?" Diluc groaned. "I'm not a Knight anymore. Besides, it's not often we get to work together like this."

"Oh, lala!" Lisa purred. "Were you two perhaps on a little lover's sojourn while trying to save Dvalin?"

"LISA!!"

Jean and Diluc faces were redder than Diluc hair.

Yae Miko had some new ideas in mind for a new novel.

Kaeya got some good blackmail material.

"...Sir?" Aether raised an eyebrow at that. Why did he get the funny feeling she calls him Senpai?

"...?"

"You don't' want to know."

Lumine, Zero, and the other hosts deadpanned.

"O...kay?"

Jean: "..."

Diluc: "..."

Cue the crickets chirping.

https://youtu.be/RktX4lbe_g4

"Paimon thinks we got ourselves into an awkward situation." The fairy said as she watched the two standing there (menacingly) awkwardly.

'Unresolved love issues?' (M/N) raised an eyebrow at that. He could honestly see it.

"Yes."

The Knights of Favonius deadpanned.

Jean blushed worsen, as Diluc resisted the urge to turn the KOF to Knights of Fried Humans.

(Yes, I ship Diluc and Jean. Don't know why but I find their dynamic wholesome and funny.)

"*Cough* anyways" Venti interrupted, "The Holy Lyre?"

"Right!" Jean said, "Diluc and I have been discussing that and we think we know where it might be."

"eBay?"

Tesla suggested.

"...What's an eBay?"

Capitano asked.

"The place where you can get a pair of glasses that lead you to ultimate power."

Zero deadpanned.

???

Kiana and the others silently snickered at that.

Here, Diluc took over.

"The Goth Grand Hotel is out." He stated. "Even if no one saw them stealing it, they wouldn't leave it in an area where it could be easily discovered. Especially if they know they are not well liked and are the first suspects that come to mind."

"I already 'convinced (*cough* coerced *cough*) a few members of the Fatui to talk. And it seems the Holy Lyre has been taken to an abandoned Domain for safekeeping."

"Is that why a few of them look worse for wear?"

A higher ranked Fatui questioned.

"..."

"Huh, judging from their states I just thought they were into some kind of kinky roleplay."

The Fatui finished awkwardly.

"SIR!"

The Fatui that had been beaten up by Diluc shouted in shock and embarrassment.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Aether asked. "Let's go already!"

-Timeskip to Fatui hideout-

"Do you guys remember our talk from a couple days ago? About the Cryo God motives for Mondstadt?"

Jean asked, as the group headed towards the hideout the Fatui were in.

"You mean about how the Cryo Archon is after the Anemo Archon power?" Aether asked. "Yeah, we remembered why?"

"I think stealing the Holy Lyre and drawing Dvalin out might be one of their attempts to steal not only the Anemo Archon power, but Dvalin power as well."

"Good guess."

Pantalone spoke up.

"But honestly, that idea didn't cross our minds until you said it just now to try to steal the dragon powers."

"...Well, thank Celestia for small wonders."

"I don't think so" Venti shook her head. "This feels more like a plot to lure Barbatos out by using his connection to the winds."

"Must you be so obvious all the time?"

Candace asked the Anemo Archon in disbelief.

"It's a part of my charm."

"Really?" Diluc raised an eyebrow. "And here I thought it was stealing my wine and making off with it."

"Ehe..."

Venti nervously chuckled.

"The God of Anemo?" Diluc raised an eyebrow at that. "The Anemo Archon hasn't been seen for over a thousand years as far as I'm aware. Why would you think that's their intention?"

"Because their intentions are obvious?"

Razor slowly got the words out.

"..."

Was all Venti said.

Sighing, Diluc shook his head. "Forget it, that's not important right now. Take these."

Blinking, they looked at what looked to be masks.

"Masks?" (M/N) eyebrow rose in confusion.

"A disguise" Diluc stated, "Unfortunately, Mondstadt and the Fatui are still 'allies' and our actions are going to stir the hornet nest tonight. Best we conceal our identities to avoid vengeful fools."

"...How?"

Rahman raised an eyebrow.

"How the in the Deshret name is that going to work?"

"...There is a reason we call them idiots."

Zero sweatdropped.

Remembering the Eula story quest where the Fatui couldn't recognize the Traveler and Paimon, because they had the masks on.

'Seriously!' Zero thought to himself. 'How many Paimon do they know that they couldn't recognize her!? They were literally told about the Traveler and Paimon! Paimon should have been a dead giveaway just because she was flying!'

"...I'm just going to take your word for it."

Rahman decided not to question it.

He had a feeling it was better not to, unless he wanted to lose his sanity thinking it over.

(Yeah...there are reasons why I poke fun at the Fatui now. Cause thinking about it...how the hell could they not realize their unique features?)

Putting on the masks, the group descended into the domain.

"Man, this place looks like its seen better days." (M/N) batted a cobweb away from his face.

"Keep alert." Diluc warned. "You never know who's going to appear."

"Like the person who's about to appear."

Kallen pointed.

"AAHHHHH!!!"

"Yep!"

A terrified voice could be heard up ahead, startling the group. Quickly they ran to the source to see a Fatui guard shaking.

"NO! Don't eat me!" The Fatui guard shoiuted. "Don't...huh? You're...You're human?"

"...We need to start training our subordinates better."

Sandrone deadpanned.

Her fellow Harbingers reluctantly nodding.

"The entire floor's defenses...have been broken. I thought it was the Abyss Order attacking."

"Nah!" Himeko and Murata shook their heads. "You're being attacked by something much worse than the Abyss Order!"

'HEY!'

Aether glared angrily at them.

'When the company makes them more active, then I'll consider them a threat!'

Zero mentally deadpanned.

(Seriously, after Mondstadt they took a backseat unless it had to do with Dainsleif Story Quests. Which is kind of underwhelming since they, like the Fatui, are supposed to be the big bads that seek to change/destroy the world)

(I honestly keep forgetting them because Mihoyo seems to be downplaying their relevance for some reason. Or that might just be me overthinking things)

The guard continues.

"We have come for the Holy Lyre" Aether stated.

"To the point." Alhaitham nodded. "I feel like we're going to get along well, Traveler."

"Likewise."

Lumine nodded.

Aether mentally screamed.

Zero sighed.

"Wh-what!? How did you know the Lyre here?"

"Well..." Dori just chuckled. "You just confirmed that you do have it."

Shink.

"Either tell us where it is, or I start chopping off limbs." (M/N) coldly stated, not wanting to waste another second.

"Aggressive negotiations, this one has."

A familiar voice spoke up, startling the audience.

"That voice!!"

Palpatine and Darth Vader quickly looked around to see.

(Master Yoda)

"Much like Skywalker, he is." Yoda smiled. "Agree, do you not?"

"How!?"

The two screamed.

"Strange, Multiverse is." Yoda continued speaking. "Brought here by the Force, we were."

"...WE?"

Turning around they saw...

"Hello there."

(General Obi-Wan Kenobi)

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

...And the Rebellion as well as extra additions.

"...I hate my life."

Anakin grumbled to himself.

"You're going to hate it, more."

A VERY familiar voice spoke up.

"PADME!?"

Anakin screamed as his, formerly dead, wife slowly walked up to him.

"Take off that ridiculous helmet."

The former queen of Naboo said.

"..."

*FSH*

Anakin removed his helmet.

"Nice to see your time here hasn't made you so pale that you could pass as a Space Vampire."

Padme nodded.

Before raising her hand.

*SMACK!!*

And causing people to jump.

"That's for plunging the Galaxy into chaos!!"

Padme shouted as Anakin rubbed his face.

"Okay, I deserve that."

He conceded.

"Oh, Anakin." Padme shook her head. "That barely covers the surface. But we'll talk later."

"How are you...oh right." Anakin realized. "I forgot that Zero could bring the dead back to life."

"So, can other Gods." Zero shrugged. "They're just lazy."

"Ah...Well, thanks."

"Anytime."

The Rebellion, and former dead now alive Jedi, just stared in disbelief.

Wasn't this the Almighty Lord of the Sith!?

What the hell happened?

Ahsoka shook her head.

'Best to find out later.'

"Okay! Okay I'll talk!" The scared out of his mind Fatui guard said. "It's at the end of this hideout, you need a key which I don't have! I don't know who has it, but their most likely in the main room!"

"Really?"

Signora groaned.

No wonder they lost the damn Lyre!

"This guy looks like he's about to wet himself." Paimon deadpanned at how pathetic this guy was.

"Even Younglings had more spine than that guy."

Kanen Jarrus shook his head.

"What a loser."

Ezra Bridger laughed.

"You just worry about yourselves intruders!" He warned. "One of our Harbingers is already in Mondstadt!"

Here, (M/N) eyes narrowed at that announcement. Did they find out about him after he taught the Fatui a lesson? Or was it for whatever their hidden agenda was?

"I think it's more of doing the mission."

Rosaria offered.

"Signora!" The Fatui guard shouted. "When she gets her hands on you, she's going to string you up and torture you. When that day comes, don't you dare say a word about me."

"Not like she's going to know who you are."

Otto shook his head.

"If that mask works as well as it 'apparently' does, then they're going to be stupid enough not to recognize you."

"Hey!" Signora shouted. "That's not true! We can recognize him!!"

"He's...I have no idea."

...Bruh.

Said person didn't know whether to count his blessings, or be insulted.

The other Harbingers had no clue either, nor did the other Fatui members.

"...My pride is slowly being destroyed with each passing moment."

The Tsaritsa lingered in a corner. A dark, gloomy aura hanging over her.

People sweatdropped at that.

Smack!

Before jumping at that sound.

(M/N) backhand the Fatui guard with more force than expected. Completely done with the idiot whining.

"Time is money, as they say."

"If the Balladeer fell to my power, what makes you think Signora is going to be any different?"

He coldly stated to the nearly unconscious male.

"She will fall, like many others had."

People shivered.

Why did that sound like YEARS of experience talking?

With that, the group quickly headed deeper into the domain.

"Signora?" Paimon asked, "Weird name."

"Easier to say than her full name."

Zero deadpanned.

Signora jumped at that.

Not knowing why she's surprised that he knew that tidbit.

"No. 8 of the Fatui Eleven Harbingers" Diluc explained. "The real and only reason their 'diplomats' can do as they please among the seven nations."

"So, without their Harbingers they have no power huh?"

Master Mace Windu frowned.

Anakin inched away.

After all, considering what happened the last time they were together...he likes living thank you very much!!

"Geez, Master Diluc you sure are well informed for someone who hates the Fatui."

"Know thy enemy." Master Yoda and Master Splinter spoke up.

Paimon noted.

"Know your enemy" Diluc simply said. "And the Harbingers are someone you need to be deeply aware of."

"But still, Paimon thinks that you really hate them."

"He has his reasons for that."

Adelinde sighed.

Knowing the aftermath of what had happened that fractured Diluc and Kaeya relationship.

"Let's just put this way: If I had to choose between eating a cryo slime alive or joining the Fatui. I would prefer to be crushed to death by a meteorite."

"Okay."

Zhongli prepared to send a meteor at him.

BONK!

"Ow..."

He monotonously said.

"Not literally Morax."

Ei deadpanned.

Scaring her counterpart and the others at how easily she hit one of the strongest Archons in existence.

(Zhongli: Okay)

"...Dramatic much?" Paimon questioned, to which Diluc ignored.

"Considering it's the Fatui?" Alice giggled. "Not really."

"Anyways, we need to hurry before she catches wind of our schemes."

"Don't worry" (M/N) waved Diluc concern off. "If she tries anything, I'll send her packing."

"Hah!" Signora laughed. "Like I'll lose that easily!"

"...Ironic."

Palpatine maliciously smiled.

"That you would say that."

???

"Oh, please." Signora scoffed. "Like that's going to happen right?"

"..."

"...Right?"

"Even so," Jean said, "A fight is the last thing we need now. We need to focus on saving Dvalin, then dealing with the Fatui."

"Fine, let's go."

After traveling deeper into the domain and beating other Fatui members that got in their way. And finding the key needed. The group finally made to the end of the domain layout.

"That must have been therapeutic for you, huh?"

Dehya stared, impressed at how efficiently Diluc and the others took them down.

"Very much, so."

Diluc smiled.

As Aether glared at him.

'Stupid Darknight Hero!' He mentally screamed to himself. 'Always getting my way!'

One of the reasons why the Abyss Order had such trouble in Mondstadt.

Diluc was always there to kick their ass back to the Abyss.

"Look!" Paimon shouted, pointing to the center. "There's the Holy Lyre!"

"ANnnnd, you probably just jinxed."

Yae Sakura sweatdropped.

Suddenly a cage fell on top of it, locking the Holy Lyre.

"And there it is."

"Paimon already knows!"

Paimon shouted.

Having gone through this before.

"How did you get here?"

A Fatui Agent growled.

"Front door, they did."

Yoda smiled.

"Signora is not going to like this meddling in our affairs."

(M/N): "You mistake me for someone who gives a shit."

"...I like him."

Mace Windu nodded his head in approval.

Giving the Jedi Order a heart attack.

Mace Windu openly expressing his approval!?

The world must be ending!

And if you're wondering about the Doctor and certain Sumeru Scholars.

*GASP!!*

They were currently being Force choked by Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker.

Zero sweatdropped.

'Can they please not try to push their luck for at least ONE viewing!?'

The male deadpanned, causing the Agent to snarl at the lack of respect and the lack of fear.

"Die!"

The Fatui Agent turned invisible startling a majority of the group. Before secretly lunging at (M/N).

"...And further cementing the fact that they are really idiots."

Cocolia shook her head in disbelief.

...Who sidestepped to the left.

"Bruh."

BAM!

The result? The Fatui Agent left a rather nice impression of him on the wall as he fell down to the ground.

"Ohh..." Sabine Wren winced. "That's gotta hurt."

"He deserves it."

Zeb Orrelios grunted.

"He got too cocky."

(The Fatui really are living up to their name, huh?)

"...We are so embarrassed to have them in the Fatui."

Several Fatui members shook their heads.

"To slow." Was all (M/N) said.

Growling, the Agent released several spinning chakrams(?) of fire around him as he started running at incredible speeds.

"Now, things are getting interesting!"

Ivan Ooze smirked.

Clang! Clash!

Trading blows against Aether, Jean, and Diluc who responded in kind.

"I'm not sure if that's impressive." Faruzan mused. "Or a sign that they need more training."

Swinging his claymore around, Diluc quickly slammed it to the ground and used is as a medium to produce a roundhouse kick to the Agent.

"Oof!" The Fatui grunted as he was thrown back.

"Diluc kicks are nothing to take lightly."

Kaeya shook his head.

"Speaking from experience?" Gorou raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah."

Kaeya drank his wine.

"Hah!" Jean shouted as she unleashed a flurry of sword strikes against the Agent. The Fatui barely keeping it up.

"Never mind." Faruzan shook her head. "You guys are fine. It's the Fatui that needs more training."

The Fatui twitched.

"Hah!"

The Doctor managed to laugh.

Before being spun around like a spinning top.

Swik!

"Argh!" He screamed as he felt an arrow imbedded into his side.

"Now!" Venti shouted, Aether activating his Elemental Skill.

"Windblade!" He shouted as he dragged the poor Agent into the swirling vortex in his palm. Before releasing it and launching a series of attacks against him.

Several people winced.

That couldn't have been fun.

"Gah!"

Hum, the air felt like it was being electrified as (M/N) sword glowed.

"Huh?"

"Strike!"

Unleashing a powerful blast of electro infused hydro blast straight at the Agent.

BOOM!

A large explosion shook the room as the Fatui Agent laid defeated on the ground.

!!!

"I thought he was a Hydro wielder?"

Kazuha shook his head in confusion.

"Maybe he knows magic?"

Layla asked.

"That might explain his Electro ability."

Albedo nodded.

"Heh."

Zero snickered.

Knowing where the Electro part came from.

"Oorgghhh" The defeated Fatui groaned in pain.

"Yeah." Itto sweatdropped. "I don't think I could take that much, either."

Walking to the cage where the Holy Lyre is, Aether inserted the key and opened the door. Grabbing the Lyre and walking back out.

"Finally!" Paimon shouted in victory. "The Holy Lyre is back in safe hands!"

The Nuns breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Wait" (M/N) as he started looking around the room. "Where the hell did that bastard disappeared off to?"

!?

"That was fast."

Kujou Sara blinked.

Blinking, they realized the Fatui Agent they had just fought disappeared.

But where?

Suddenly, the Fatui Agent voice rang out.

"Signora is going to end you. The songs bards sing of your demise will be so terrifying-the people of Mondstadt will never sleep again for the nightmares they give them. Hehahahaha!"

"Doubt."

Seele shook her head.

"Major doubt."

Ezra agreed.

"They're giving her way too much credit."

Sabine shook her head.

"Perhaps, there is a reason for that."

Hera Syndulla offered.

"Well..."

Zero trailed off.

"In their world, yes."

He pointed to the GI group.

"Signora proves to be more than expected...mainly because she caught them off guard."

Zero shrugged.

"In this world." He pointed to the screen. "She's going to lose street cred faster than a drank consumes his alcohol."

!!!

"Lovely."

Signora grumbled to herself.

"Big talk for a spineless wimp who ran off in the end."

"but you didn't do anything?"

Huffman sweatdropped.

"Paimon was moral support!"

Paimon shouted at the knight.

Zero sweatdropped.

'You don't want her on the front lines.'

Why?

-Genshin Impact-

"Say HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!"

Paimon machine gun unleashed all hell on Teyvat as she mowed down the Matra and turned them into Swiss cheese.

"I taught her well."

(M/N) smiled.

While Aether was busy burying the Sages who were trying to escape.

"...This is quite a grave situation, wouldn't you say?"

Cyno asked Alhaitham and Dehya.

"...Shut up."

The two said.

(This may or may not happen in my story. Don't know how exactly to incorporate it into it. For now, even if I don't. Enjoy these little skits of what could have been (～￣▽￣)～)

-Back to the Theater-

...That's why!

Paimon scoffed.

"Chicken"

"Let's get out of here." Aether said, "After all, the longer we stay here the higher the chances are of having to deal with more Fatui."

"And we don't need to deal with any more of them."

Lumine grumbled.

Hot, some may be, but a pain in the ass they truly are!

"Right" "Good idea" "Roger" "Let's go."

With the chorus of agreements, everyone quickly headed for the exit with Holy Lyre in hand.

Ready to put an end to the Stormterror threat once and for all.

"Well!" Zero smiled. "Let's take a breather there."

"For now."

Which was a godsend for some people as they could finally catch their breaths.

'Why they thought it was a smart idea to try to approach with obvious intentions in mind, I'll never know.'

Zero shook his head.

Before turnign to two people.

(Lucia Skywalker)

(Yes, he's a girl in this)

(Princess Leia Organa)

"I do believe I gave you guys the information about your parentage and you wish to talk to them."

He pointed to Padme and Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker.

"Yes." "Yes!"

The two said.

"Well."

Zero smiled.

"Enjoy your talk."

Before he turned to the screen.

"And stay tuned."

He said.

...While ignoring the fact that the list Otto had still kept on going.

Done.

Was finally able to get this chapter done the way I wanted it to be.

So...did you like the Madagascar scene with Otto and Kallen?

Or the fact that he's been trying to bring her back from the dead all because he wants his damn money for all the times, she sent him to the hospital for food poisoning?

(Yeah, that's going to be in my story. The real reason he's trying to bring her back)

And yeah, I brought in Star Wars for the hell of it.

Originally was going to bring in just Yoda and Obi Wan. But somehow ended up writing in more characters.

So, they retrieved the Holy Lyre and now are finally going to snap Dvalin back to his senses.

...And reveal what Aether has been doing during that time.

Poor guy (well, not really), his balls are toast...well jelly I suppose.

Okay. Not sure if I ever explained this.

Long story short, Vader and Palpatine disappeared a year before A New Hope begins. In that time, the Empire was overthrown with the loss of their prominent figures and the power vacuum left in their place.

Making it easy for the Rebel Alliance to bring back the Republic.

Obi Wan took Lucia to the Jedi Temple to begin her training after that. Leia soon joined after and the truth that they were siblings were revealed.

They didn't know much about their parents due to it being a sensitive subject to Obi Wan.

Ezra and Kanan returned to the Temple as well as Master Yoda.

Why Luke is a female here? Well...I kind of like the Ezra Bridger/Luke (male or female) Skywalker dynamics despite them never meeting.

Don't ask why, I just do.

So, yeah. That's going to be a thing here.

Will Ezra survive an angry, overprotective father? What about the protective sister? How will Padme react to Ezra eventually courting her daughter?

We'll find out eventually.

Have a good day/night!
