Suddenly Diluc woke up in this dark room that looked like a cell with only a small window with bars on it in the top corner of the room. Where light was shining in from the sun.

And as it got brighter he noticed he was chained to the wall by his wrists and ankles with long chains and then noticed a collar on him with a red blinking light and then noticed others in the room with him all chained up the same way and waking up.

A few faces he recognized.

Anyway as everyone woke up they all seemed genuinely confused.

Childe : well isn't this interesting?"

Diluc : I blame you"

Childe : hey do I.....oh your that guy....."

Thoma : sorry to cut in but what's happening?"

Dulic : Seems we all have been taken. As to why I don't know."

Childe : anyone else missing their visions?"

As Childe looked around for his vision and delusion everyone else looked around for their visions to but couldn't find them "

Ayaka : they took out visions....."

Collei : why.....why did they take us.....who took us....."

Collei seemed a bit panic and scared and klee then said.

Klee : don't worry new friend we'll be. Master dulic we'll save us.

Last year on my birthday he broke me out inazuma ja-

Diluc : klee this isn't the time for that "

Ayaka : klee? Oh. You are the little red girl I saw Thoma hiding?"

Thoma : I felt bad for she's just a kid"

Diluc : oh she has trick you"

Klee: klee is sorry for the mess she left behind"

Thoma : no need to worry. I got it cleaned in Time before the meeting"

Ayaka : what on earth did this little girl do to be lock up?"

Klee : arson"

Ayaka : oh...."

Diluc : klee for once would you happen to any bombs on you?"

Klee : yes! I made new ones perfect for escaping! They are corrosive bombs small like keychains but cause big booms! Corrodes everything! Especially iron and they are silent booms"

Diluc : let me see them"

Klee : ok master dulic!"

Klee then reach into her pocket and took out keychain size bunny bombs
And rolled then over to Diluc who picked one up.

Diluc : how do they work Klee?"

Klee : easy! You pull the string"

Diluc then pulled then string and it immediately silently went off and corroded the chains on his wrists.

And after this he did the same with the chains on his ankels and then got up walking to the cell door with the last corrosive bomb.

Diluc : I have a plan. I'm going to find our things and the keys to unlock these collars and chains and then come back here where we can find a way out."

Childe : so your in charge?"

Diluc : I'll leave you here"

Klee : master Diluc that's not nice"

Diluc : ..... anyway I'll be back"

Diluc then used the corrosive bomb on the door then left down the hall.

Klee : we should all tell our names!"

Ayaka : good idea Klee. I'm Ayaka kamisato"

Collei : I.... I'm Collei...."

Qiqi : I'm Qiqi....spelled Qiqi...."

Thoma : I'm Thoma"

Razor : Razor name is Razor"

Childe : the name is Childe"

Ayaka : you and umm Diluc seem to know each other?"

Childe : we haven't exactly met b-

Klee : Mr Childe is a fatui harbinger that's what master Diluc told me when he said I ran into their base to play"

Ayaka : a fatui.....I've heard about them....."

Childe : well lucky for everyone I'm on vacation. Was accidentally visiting my family then suddenly I'm here"

Ayaka : I was at home with Thoma and same thing happened"

And one by one everyone said what they were doing before this and all had a similar story.

Collei : we're we all randomly taken...."

Childe : seems like that. Hmm I wonder who's behind this? This seems like a interesting case"

Ayaka : whatever it may be I'm trusting that Diluc will help us"

Klee : you can trust Master Diluc! Even though he's always grumpy"

Meanwhile as Diluc was looking around going down the hall. He saw other cells and people in them.

So he took a closer look and immediately backed away in horror and shock and covered his mouth and nose from the horrible smell.

Sitting in the cell chain up like they were. Was a bunch of dead corpses of people. Some even without heads.

Diluc got the idea it had to do with the collars on their necks.

It was a gruesome sight  and the smell alone made him want to puke.

But he carried on knowing he had to stop them from  having the same fate.

And eventually found an office but two guards were inside.

Diluc : ....."

He then found a broken pipe that fell off the wall
and picked it up knowing exactly what to do.

Few minutes later Diluc arrived back and quickly started unlocking the chains and giving them their stuff and visions back

Diluc : klee I put some papers in your backpack that i needed"

Klee: I'll keep them Save!"

Childe : what did you take?"

Diluc: nothing. Now everyone follow me. And whatever you do keep looking straight...."

Collei : why?...."

Diluc : just don't look.... anyway I found a map and
Know the way out"

Ayaka: what about the collars?"

Diluc : I couldn't find a key to unlock them. But what I do know is that they are a bomb.

I'm guessing if we attempt to use our visions they will go off."

Thoma: if we do make it out what do we do after that?"

Diluc : once out we should be able to find a way to break them"

Klee: I could make more corrosive bombs!"

Childe : that is a smart idea?"

Diluc : let's go"

After this everyone left following Diluc down the hall and listening to what he said.

Later once upstairs everyone kept a lookout for guards.

And as they were walking Razor suddenly stop them and said smelling something

Razor : danger....bad people ahead....."

Diluc peek around the corner and saw guards walking towards them. he then said.

Diluc : i-

Childe : little red girl have any big bombs?"

Klee : yeah!"

Diluc : that is loud it will attract more!"

Thoma then pointed to some knight status that had swords and said.

Childe : perfect"

Diluc and Childe then grabbed the swords and went to take out the guards.

During this Ayaka and Thoma picked up klee and Qiqi in case they needed to run.

And they peeked around the corner to see them fight the guards.

Thoma : that's going to leave stains....."

Ayaka : they are quite.... something...."

Klee : cool!"

Qiqi : Qiqi is tired....."

Thoma  : don't worry you'll be able to go home and sleep soon"

Few seconds later Diluc and Childe came back going down the other hallway yelling for them to run.

So everyone did. following them down the other hallway.

But it was short lived realizing they ran into a dead end with guards not that far behind them.

Collei :what do we do!?"

Diluc quickly looked around and then saw a window and immediately shattered it with the sword he still had and looked out seeing the ocean.

Diluc : does everyone know how to swim?"

Thoma : you want us to jump out the window into the ocean!?"

Diluc : either we die or at most get some bruises and a broken bone depending how you land in the water"

Klee : or hyperthermia!"

Childe : right. Anyway"

Childe was the first to jump out the window.

Then Thoma and Ayaka who had klee and Qiqi on their back.

Then Razor. and Diluc was about to jump next until he notice Collei looking scared and nervous.

Diluc : I'm sorry we don't have any other way"

Collei: I....i-

Diluc: here"

Diluc then turned around his back facing her and kneeled down then said.

Diluc : come on"

Collei : i...."

Collei wasn't sure what to do but she then looked back and saw the guards coming and asked.

Collei : i....won't I hurt you?"

Diluc : I'll be fine but we have to hurry. You can trust me"

Collei: ......ok......"

Collei then got on his back like a piggy back ride and as she held on for dear life he jumped out.

Later everyone wash up on a beach and collapsed on the sand tired and wet.

And as everyone was collecting themselves Diluc looked at his arm that was in bad shape.

Razor : friend hurt?"

Diluc : I think I hit a rock when I jumped"

Collei : I'm sorry it's m-

Diluc : it's fine it's not that bad"

Klee : we must clean the wound to avoid infection!"

Klee then took out a first aid kit and said.

Klee : big brother Kaeya made it for me in case I get her. I use it for big brother Bennett a lot"

Childe : how did none of that get wet?"

Klee : my backpack is waterproof to protect the bombs!"

Thoma: here I'll help"

Klee then gave the kit to Thoma who walked over to Diluc and started to help him.

During Klee took out the papers and asked.

Klee: master Diluc what are these?"

Ayaka : you said you would mention it?"

Diluc: it's information on all of us down to every detail. Where we live who are friends and family are and more.

I read a few and looks like they did some digging after we were taken."

Ayaka: so it was random?'

Diluc : yes but this proves if any of us go home they will find us.

Going back could put everyone we care about in danger"

Childe looked at the papers and said seeming a bit worried.

Childe : not to make it scarier but the fatui have also been having a problem with these guys but we could never find anything.

But they knew more than any of us. And honestly seemed more smarter and deadlier.

I was sent along with a few others to investigate them on a lead we got."

Diluc: must of known you were on to them."

Childe : .....they shouldn't know this must....not even the fa...."

Childe was looking at his paper and the details were horrifying.

Ayaka: what do we do then?"

Diluc : for now hide out until it dies down. They will most likely be looking for us"

Childe :.....oh anyway about the collars?"

Diluc: if we find something hard enough we should be able to break it"

Thoma : we should find shelter first and make a fire it's getting late"

Klee then walked over to a small hill and said.

Klee: I see something big over there! Let's go look!"
