3RD PERSON POV

Y/N: Huh....something seems off....

He walks along the dirt road, trampling across the snowy ground.

Y/N: This isn't good....I'm getting many warning signs all over the place.

???: Most certainly. There's a foul aura in the air.

He looks to his shoulder to see a black, red shadow sticking into the air from his skin.

Y/N: Barghest...

Nyra: Barghest....W-Wait you survived?

Barghest: I merely attached myself to the nearest person I could find. One minute left I would've faded from existence. Though...it's good to be with the creator.

Y/N: No worries. Artoria, Modred you sense anything?

Artoria: It's....off. The mana......It's like something is trying to force its way here.

Modred: The mana's....off. Like it's corrupted.

Y/N: Then we must make haste. Morax is already on guard in case anything happens in Liyue. With my assistance, the messengers should be delivering the warnings to the other kingdoms. But...let's see what is going on here.

*WOOSH*

Two gray wings sprout from his back. Holding his hand out, he summons his Buster Sword before flapping his wings to float in the air.

Y/N: NIMBUS

A cloud appears under Artoria and Modred before they were lifted into the air.

Modred: Wow....*stars in eyes* not bad master~

Artoria: Can I control this cloud?

Y/N: It'll follow me so don't worry. Nyra?

She nods her head before summing 2 wings of her own and flies into the air.

Nyra: I can fly. Though my power has dwindled, I'll be by your side Y/N.

Y/N: Thank you. Now let's head off.

She nods his head before they all began to make their way through the air.

Later

Tsaritsa: Columbina....how are the reports?

Columbina: A strange energy surging across Snezhnaya. I don't have a good feeling about it.

Tsaritsa: How are the other harbingers?

Columbina: They're taking precautions like you requested along with the Fatui branches.

Tsaritsa: Good.

They observed the snowy plains ahead of them, fatui skirmishers standing close to them as they tried sensing whatever was out there.

Tsaritsa: Something's co-

*WOOSH*

All of a sudden Y/N lands onto the ground a 100 meters away from them, his wings out before retracting them and dematerializing his sword as everyone lands onto the ground.

Y/N: You sense anything?

Nyra: Not that I know of.

Modred/Artoria: Still the same.

He holds his sword over his shoulder, looking around the trees, trying to detect whatever was out there-

*CRACK*

Y/N: What the- oh............OH!

He lets out a grin, seeing the Tsaritsa standing across the field who looks at him in disbelief.

Y/N: HEY MAI!

Tsaritsa: Y-Y/N?

Columbina: *confused* Wait Ma......Y/N?!

However she turns to find the Tsaritsa running to Y/N with her arms out.

Y/N: HEY WOAH SLOW DO-

*THUD*

He was tackled into a hug, sending him tumbling across the snow while holding onto the Tsaritsa. Sticking his foot out, his stops himself before getting back onto his feet to find the archon looking at him with a sad look on her face.

Tsaritsa:....*sad* Why did it take so long for you to come back?

Y/N: I was busy. I've only been gone for 5 years but.....

He looks behind her, seeing his friends and the Fatui walking towards the two.

Y/N: You've been.....busy with the Fatui. Blackmail, extortion, embezzlement, physical violence, experiments, child soldiers....

He lists a whole bunch of crimes, seeing her face turn pale though she looked confused.

Tsaritsa: I-I'm afraid I don't understand.

Y/N: Oh? So you're not informed about this? About what your Fatui have done?

She shakes her head, making Y/N sigh before he pats her head and pulls away from her.

???: M-My creator! It's an honor to meet you again!

All the skirmishers immediately bow down to Y/N, giving their respects as Columbina runs forward.

Columbina: *happy* Y/N! It's been so long! Did you miss me?! Did you miss me?

She nearly tackles him into a hug if it wasn't for Y/N holding his arms out, stopping her in her tracks before hugging her. A grin appears on her face as she rubs her face against his shirt, enjoying the warmth though.....Nyra's face scrunched up at the affection. 

Y/N: *pat* Alright alright that's enough there.

Tsaritsa: I said that's enough.

Columbina immediately pulls back, afraid of the look on the Tsaritsa's face though the archon quickly turns to Y/N after seeing Columbina's hands by her side instead of on Y/N, leaving a pout on the harbinger's face.

Tsaritsa: Onto serious matters....what brings you here?

Y/N: I was planning to come here a week later, but I've felt a strange....corrupted energy around this area.

Columbina: So you've sensed it too?

Artoria: Indeed.

Tsaritsa: Y/N.....are you familiar with this?

Y/N: Yes Mai. I've dealt with this energy before. It's....Honkai Energy. 

The Tsaritsa stiffens along with Columbina, recognizing what Y/N said.

Columbina: Y-You mean-

Y/N: Yes......they've arrived. I don't know who they are or where they but...I think it's time I fight once more.....'Good thing I obliterated 90% of the Will's forces and energy......'

*RUMBLE*

The ground beneath them begins to shake, startling everyone. 

???: W-WHAT'S GOING ON?!

???2: WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

Y/N: Oh.....right on time.

*BOOM*

They looked up to the sky only to see what looks like a portal created from a tear through the space time continuum. All of a sudden, thousands and thousands of tears begin to form, reaching the hundreds of thousands across the entire planet, making Y/N furrow his brow.

Y/N: Everyone......PREPARE YOURSELVES!

Everyone drew out their weapons with the Tsaritsa heading back to the city to protect the people, leaving Columbina and the fatui skirmishers to hastily draw their weapons and stand strong. Hundreds of thousands of honkai beasts begin to emerge from the tears, falling down as Y/N closes his eyes. 

Y/N: You all trust me right?

Everyone: YES Y/N!
