A/N: Did you pay today?

And finally back, gosh it feels good

Narrator POV

Inside the express, after what happened in the Xianzhou, they had some time left before going to their next destination: The planet of festivities, Penacony

And of course, they were ready to go there

But before that, they had a few more places to go.....

Y/N: We're going back in Jarilo VI?

March: Yeah, Bronya asked us to come for the Solwarm festival, and we said yes

Stelle: And I said yes for you

Y/N: No wonder I got tons of messages a minute ago. We're going, just us three, or Dan Heng is coming too?

March: Nope. He's still shaken from all the revelations of the Luofu

Y/N: Huh.... If that god damn old hag tried to blame my pookie, I swear.......

Stelle: Say Y/N, but how's your connection with Nanook?

Y/N: Hmm? It's been fine. He's been awfully quiet though.....

Stelle: He finally understood you're mine, and no one will take you from me

March: Stelle, pose!

In a instant, she grabbed Y/N's waist, spin him, before holding up one of his leg, and lean toward him, wiggling her eyebrows

March instantly took a picture, but there was a problem

There was no reaction from Y/N

March: Y/N?

Stelle: Is everything ok?

Y/N: Hmm? Oh nothing to worry about, I was just thinking

March: That's enough to worry abo-

He grabbed her head, lifting her off the ground

March: I'm joking!

He let go of her, as she sigh in relief

March: Now, let's go to Jarilo VI!

Y/N: It's going to be a pain.......

Stelle: Not as painful as being away from you wifey

Y/N: Oh my god.....

Timeskip

March had her new outfit ready for the occasion, while Y/N and Stelle stayed in the same outfit

March: I look awesome! Still wonder why they haven't released it yet though.......

Y/N: What is blud yapping about?

March: I'm not yapping, I'm showing off!

Y/N: Cool for you

Stelle: The city look lively

March: You're looking at a wall

Stelle: This wall is lively

March: Still...... you're lucky you instantly came here Y/N.... You didn't had to deal with the IPC at least

Y/N: Thank god..... I have some..... bad past with them.....

They entered the room where Bronya was, as Y/N instantly heard a familiar voice

???: Oh, it seems we have visitors!

Y/N: Oh hell nah I'm not staying here

He turned away, about to leave, before a hand grabbed his arm

Y/N: I am NOT paying, fuck off

???: Such a mean way to say hello to your dear friend, Y/N

March: You know Topaz, Y/N?

Y/N: That's the bad story I told you 2 month ago

March: Oooooh........ Wait that was 2 weeks before we met Stelle!

Topaz: Oh, I didn't knew you were with them, Y/N

Y/N: That is none of your business

Topaz: No fun......

She pouted a bit, before letting go, and smile at Bronya

Topaz: Please consider my plans carefully, Supreme Guardian. If Jarilo VI wants to rebuild its connections with the rest of the galaxy, your credit record with the IPC will be of great importance

Bronya: You've made yourself clear miss Topaz. I'll require some time to consider my next course of action

Topaz nodded, before walking off

But not before giving a playful tap on Y/N's shoulder, and winking

And this, triggered an eye twitch from Stelle

Topaz walked out of the room, as it was now the 3 girls and Y/N

Y/N: .......Nice weather in this room

Stelle: I want explanations, now

Y/N: Well, the weather is the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness

Stelle: You know what I'm talking about

Y/N: Nuh-uh

Stelle: Yuh-uh

March: Yeah! We want explanations!

Bronya: Me too. You went away through the galaxy just to flirt with other womans? What about your promise to marry-

Stelle: He NEVER promised that, begone you harpy

Y/N: I actually pissed off one of the highest member once

Bronya: How do you do that?

Y/N: Well......

Flashback

In a room, where all the Stonehearts were, stood Y/N, facing Diamond, for a contract to help the Station

Diamond: The contract is almost completed. Now, what are your conditions?

Y/N: You need to follow me to a place called Sugma

Diamond: Sugma?

Sugilite: Oh no

Pearl: He wouldn't dare......?

Y/N: Sugma balls

The room was filled with muffled giggles, except one person that was laughing openly

Jade: He did got you there, Diamond

His eyes twitched, as he calmly told Y/N to leave

When Y/N came back, he was grounded for 29 light years by Herta

Flashback

Y/N: Such great memories from 3 years ago.....

Stelle: As expected of Darling!

She hugged him, nuzzling to him, before Bronya instantly pushed her away, and took Y/N in her arms

Bronya: You had him for a longer time. It's my turn now

Stelle: In a million years, yes

They both started to fight over him, as for Y/N......

He was trying to talk with Nanook, but no success

He keep trying, as Kiana was telling him to stop

Kiana: Stop Y/N! It's not going to work! He shut down any communication for now!

Y/N: Then I just force him to answer......

Trying harder and harder, he heard Kiana yell

Kiana: Y/N sto-!

Then, everything stopped, as he was in a dark void, without anything to be heared, or seen

Y/N: What the.....

He looked around, before the area changed, and he was...... back on the moon?

Y/N: What? How?

An explosion occured behind him, as he turned back in a flash to see what was happening

A man with white hair, blue eyes, and sort of demonic wings on his back got out of the explosion, his injuries healing

As in front of him, someone landed....

And that someone..... was Y/N?

Y/N(?): It seems you got the wrong idea, so I'll make it clear....

He pointed at the man, his smirk wide and full of confidence

Y/N(?): You're the challenger here

Y/N's eyes widened, as his eyes shot open, taking a sharp gasp

Sitting straight in a flash, he was breathing heavily, sweating

???: Y/N, are you ok?!

Looking around, he saw Natasha, March and Stelle, looking at him, worried

Y/N: Where..... am I?

Natasha: You're in my clinic. You suddendly collapsed in the middle of the room, back in Bronya's office

March: It's been 3 hours too! You worried us!

Y/N: I see...... sorry then......

He was slowly catching his breathing

Stelle: Did something happened?

Y/N: I just had a connection with Nanook.... don't worry about it

Natasha: I'll keep you for a last check-up, then you're free to go

Y/N: Okay

Y/N POV

Phantylia, Shuhu, hell, even Nanook.....

Even if they fuse all of their power... They wouldn't be at the level of just one....

And why.... did he looked like me? Maybe that's the Y/N Kiana was talking about?

One thing is clear... if I were to clash Authority with them, I would be killed in a instant.....

I shook my head, before getting up

Y/N: Alright! Back on the track!

Natasha: I didn't even started yet!

Y/N: Just means I'm the best

I walked out of the clinic, stretching, as the group was waiting for me, alongside Himeko and Gepard

Y/N: Yo

Himeko: Ah, you're up. You worried us all with your little stunt you know?

Y/N: And I'm not sorry, fuck off

I instantly dodged a slipper, as her eyes twitched

Y/N: You missed, guess you're getting old

She was about to throw another, before Gepard spoke up

Gepard: Please, let's all calm down, we have important matters to attend

Y/N: That is?

Gepard: Preventing miss Topaz from doing something we cannot stop

Y/N: Why calling her Miss? She's the same age as me

March: She is from the IPC

Himeko: She's the court bailiff of the galaxy

Stelle: She got them thighs

March: What?

Stelle: What?

Y/N: Anyway..... I have a plan....

Himeko: I don't like it already

Gepard: Me too

March: Me three

Stelle: I am with Y/N

Y/N: It concerns singing

March: I am with Y/N!

Y/N: Majority wins

Himeko/Gepard: Ugh......

Y/N: Anyway, here's the plan......

Timeskip - Narrator POV

Topaz was facing the group made of Stelle, Himeko and March, as she smirked

Topaz: The approval to launch an attack on the members of the Astral Express

She did her thing, making IPC guards appear, thanks to the GOAT, Numby

They were about to fight, before all lights turned off

Topaz: Wasn't it supposed to last longer than that?

IPC Guard: I don't know ma'am, it was Edward that was handling it

IPC Guard 2: Hey! Don't put the blame on me!

One light turned on, as it was pointed..... at Y/N

IPC Guards: What in the almighty Qlipoth is that?

Topaz: Y/N....?

She was about to say something, before.... music started

https://youtu.be/DFMuOi2GiBo

(Skip instantly to 3:10 for reference)

Y/N: I.... wanna pay you...... But somethings pulling me away from you!

March slided at his side, singing too

March: The IPC is my virtue!

Y/N: But the tax fraud is the demon I cling to!

Stelle was making the instrumental

Topaz: What the-

Y/N & March: I cling to!

.

.

Himeko: I told you it wouldn't work.....

Y/N: We never know until we ask. Did it worked?

Topaz: Nope

IPC Guard: Nah

IPC Guard 2: Great singing though

Y/N: Thanks, we do a daily training

March: We have to do it when we go back to the express

Topaz: So.... We're gonna fight or what?

Y/N: You lose more in fighting us than staying calm to be honest

Topaz: Oh? And why is that?

His eyes glowed a deep amber color, as his connection with Nanook happened

Y/N/Nanook: Because fighting the champion of Destruction would lead to an open war between Destruction and Preservation, and we don't want that, right?

Her eyes widened, as she took a step back

Topaz: You're..... the Emanator of Destruction?

Y/N: Above that, I'm his champion, basically, linked to the guy directly

Y/N: And why were you doing the silent act you edgy bitch?

Nanook: I was pushed back by something a few days ago. It was after you slept on the Luofu

Y/N: What could be strong enough to stop the connection between an Aeon and his champion?

Nanook: That isn't of your reach yet

Topaz: This change the thing..... But I cannot back down

Y/N: Guess we fight in the end...

They took their stance, but a voice stopped them

???: Enough! All of you!

It was Bronya! She saved the day once again

Bronya: I have come to talk to you, Miss Topa-

Y/N: Ah, sorry to interrupt, I have to go

Himeko: Go where exactly?

Y/N: Someone's calling me, so I won't be here for the end. Anyway see ya all. Oh and Stelle, Bronya!

Bronya/Stelle: Yes/Yes, my lovely dovey Y/N?

Y/N: After all of this, first one to reach the hotel gets a date

They instantly locked in, their competitive demanour rising

Stelle: I won't lose to you, Rival

Bronya: And so would I, Rival

He smiled, before disappearing into thin air, like nothing happened

Topaz: That was...... weird

March: Usual Y/N

Himeko: Yep

With Y/N......

He landed on the ground, his iris turning into purple stars, as he was in front of Kiana

Y/N: Alright, so we can finally talk. I need answers, now

Kiana: Ok, but first, cup noodles!

They made some cup noodles, as they sat down, eating

Kiana: So, let me tell you how it happened

Y/N: What happened?

Kiana: The fight between the Strongest fighter in History and the Strongest fighter of Today. Between Kevin Kaslana, and Y/N L/N

Chapter 17: Finished

A/N: There we go! A tough one seriously

It wasn't the most thrilling part of the HSR story, so it was hard to make it interesting

But upon my name as Nero, the king of Honkai fanfics, I shall make it interesting

Anyway, in the next chapter! The knight of Beauty! Rizzing a plant, and Y/N helps him?!

'Chapter 18: Beauty'

See ya all next time!
