Chapter Text

In a room, a glass semi circle peering out into the the stars, was no one yet, there were sofas and a small snack bar.

There were a few doors leading to the dorms and the kitchen and outdoor areas, and a door leading to the Grand Yggdrasil theatre.

The lounge area was quiet until a soft thud sounded, a young teen girl with two white haired braids.

"Ahh!" There was a thud as she landed on a soft mat that seemed to spawn under her, she sat up as she shielded her nose gently poking it "ow, ow, my nose!". She sat her legs behind her checking on her nose not seeing as behind her landed a purple haired girl who landed with grace, her heels setting themselves against the floor as she looked around, and beside her was a girl with two silver twins drills, she seemed to pause as she looked around.

"Kiana... do you not notice anything strange," the purple haired girl said these words as her eyes drifted towards the stars. The white twin braid girl looks up "Mei i dont get what you mean.... HOLY ARE WE IN SPACE" Kiana rushed up as she dashed to the window, her face pressed against the glass, her hands resting against it as she looked out into space "This is amazing" the purple haired 'Mei' responded "This is great kiana but are you not concerned"

The sliver twin tails spoke up "Bronya has to agree, this is concerning how we got here" Kiana paused "Right how did we get here... is this an effect of Honkai energy, are we at the mercy of a honkai beast" Mei looked around "I dont think this is the honkais doing"

Bronya nodded "Bronya noticed this is to sleek to be a Honkai area, maybe its anti entropy?"

As the three girls mused a red haired fell into a lump on the floor "Im okay, Im okay" The red head stood up dusting herself off as the three girls looked at her "Kiana, Mei Bronya... what is this place"

She gazed over at the window pausing "The stars are beautiful" her hand rested on the glass and she felt at peace, even if the other girls felt scared, seeing Himeko so calm made them feel calm.

Even if it was just for a moment they all stopped.

It was quiet when the rest arrived, some landed on the sofas, others landed on floors or upside down.

A few faces looked familiar but Himeko just couldnt place it. It wasnt chaos but instead confusion, they seemed to look towards Himeko.

She understood what they wanted to know. "Im sorry but I know nothing more about this place than you guys, we only got here a few seconds before" "Are you sure? Because why did you get here first and we all arrived together, thats not reasuring bro."

Kiana spoke up "Please we dont know anything about this place" she spoke slightly exasperated. Two men spoke up with authority, one calming his side of the room, the other talking reason and caring demands into his words but the two sides calmed.

As they calmed a soft voice spoke up "Hello, welcome to my theater" her voice melotic and echoey, everyone tensed.

"Are you an aeon?"
"An eldritch god?"
You must be a Herrscher?"
"Reveal yourself Heavenly Principle"
"I wont hesitate Ethereal"
"An archon?"

"Oh... but I am none, not that it matters all that much, you are here to react to all of your worlds, do not worry I will not harm you if you entertain, now be sure to play your part for now call me Mnemosyne"

A small pop sounded as the voice disapated. Everyone looked around unsure of this new situation.

Chapter Text

Everyone just looked around at each other unsure what words to speak as the one of the guys behind one of the two orderly guys from before spoke up "how about we introduce ourselves," they noticed how they had been subtley placed into.

The man spoke his brown hair swayed by a small wind "how about you guys start, you are furthest right so right to left"

The Gun Girlz group nodded as they spoke up "I am Kiana Kaslana" she wore two braids down her front and a school uniform with a yellow tie and redish tartan skirt.

"I am Bronya" She wore two twin silver twin tails and a uniform, brown jacker and shorts, orangeish shirt with plush on his waist.

"Murata Himeko" she had tied up red hair, a short dark brown body suit that had a white corset and a red jacket that was only really sleeve.

Those three seemed oblivious to the silent turmoil and anxiety their introductions had caused but no one said a word to them.

The next girl noticed and spoke slow and calm "I am Mei" she wore a school uniform with black shirt and skirt with purple hair tied up with a bow.

There was only two left in this group. A man stood up, he looked a little emo but dignified "I am Welt, Sovereign of Anti Entropy" he wore a black combat like suit, with a large blue jacket and white lapel, a black cloak and dark blue hair with one eye covered. With his words there was confusing but still quietness.

"Im Kyuusyou Houraiji" she had the same uniform as Kiana but a large dark jacket ontop, over her shoulders like a delinquent, her hair was purple, mostly down with a side pony.

A man with white hair and blue eyes, he had a baseball bat by his side "Im Kevin Kaslana" he sat down as the GunGirlz gang finished.

It was clear a tension from the rest of the people as the next group stood up not sure what to say.

The first person in the Honaki Impact group spoke "Im Kiana Kaslana" she spoke her hand rubbing the back of her head, she wore a a white battle suit with orange accents, a white and orange jacket with two braids, white hair and blue eyes.

People paused "bro... two Kianas thats just how, they looj exactly the same" a voice spoke up from the crowd.

Kevin from the Gun Girlz group spoke "Its possible we are ancestors, or distantly related, the Kaslana family has a lot of history, huge family, wouldnt be to strange to have two people look the same, most Kaslanas look the same anyway, as well as similar looks K names in the Kaslana family are also common so she could have just had the same family"

People hesitatantly accepted this, two people similar wasnt strange until the next girl stood up "Bronyas name is Bronya Zaychik" People looked shocked but assumed there was an explanation. A young girl in a darl blue uniform with top and skirt with white and red armour looking stuff on her arms and legs.

The next girl stood up "Im Raiden Mei" she wore a *ahem* skimpy pink battle suit with purple hair tied up into a ponytail and black tigh highs, again another similar looking girl, but they held off until the end of this groups introduction, minus that one guy who in the back said "Bro whhattt"

A man stood up seeming resolved to these introductions "I am Kevin Kaslana Leader of the thirteen flame chasers and World Serpent" everyone was just shocked again. He had the white hair and blue eyes, a white, blue and black, shirt and trousers with a jacket. He had a look like he had resigned himself to be here but also had tensed limbs.

The next man stood up with a kid on him arm, no older than 7. "I am Welt Joyce, first Herrscher and sovereign of Anti entropy and this is Joachim Nokiavirtaten" the kid waved "hello" The man looked to be a young adult with dark blue hair and blue eyes. He wore black trousers, a white shirt and long brown jacket, a little basic compared to everyone else. Joachim wore a black shirt with rolled up sleeves and a white waistcoat and a fancy blue cravet and gold tie on it.

The last person to in the honkai group stood up "Im Elysia, one of the 13 flamechasers, Herrscher of Humanity" she had long fluffy pink hair, speaking softly, she had black shorts, a white corset top, and a black shoulder jacket with purple ruffles at the end.

The Honkai gang finished as some spoke "so can we talk about that because bro what was that"

Chapter Text

"I do not think there is anything to dicuss" (H3rd) Kevin scoffed, his arms crossed as his sat on his chair.

A man with brown hair with grey ends and glasses spoke, an air of calm around him "I have to agree, it feels like the goddess is not intrested with us dicuss this rather introducing and then participating in their activities then leaving"

"But bro we dont know anything about this place or why we are here"

[GGZ] Himeko spoke again "we do not know how this goddess got us here and it wouldnt be wise to fight a force we dont know about"

Everyone else tensed as the next group, genshin stood up.

"Hello im Aether" a man stood up with brown pants and brown crop top with a long blonde braid.

A smiliar girl stood up "Im his sister Lumine" a girl with a white dress and blonde hait as well.

"And Im Paimon," a little flying fairy? Wearing a white little suit and white hair looking kinda similar to Kiana.

The next one stood up joyfully a person with dark teal hair and bright teal ends, they wore a teally green bard uniform with shorts. "You can call me Venti, a great bard"

"I am Zhongli" a man with brown ahir with orange tip ponytail spoke quick and curtly. He wore a brown tailored suit.

A women with a short purple kimono spoke "You may call me Raiden Shogun, Archon of Inazuma, The electro archon" her long purple braid swayed.

"I am Yae Miko, head priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine" a fox women with long pink hair spoke wearing a white and red shrine priestesses unfiform if a little short.

"You can just call me Nahida" a young elf looking girl with a short white dress and white hair with green ends.

"Furina de Fontaine, fontaines archon, the hydro archon" A girl with white and blue hair announced as she threw her arm out animatedly. She wore a blue outfit with shorts and a blue top hat.

A man spoke up mext to here "I am Neuvillette Ludex of Fontaine" he wore a formal judge like blue suit and had a cane next to him, his hair was white with two blue tendril like hairs.

The last of the group spoke up "I am Mauvika, the Pryo Archon of Natlan" she had long red hair with orange underneath and wore a black skin tight biker suit.

The genshin group finished as the next one got ready. The StarRail group

A women stood up with red hair a black over the shoulder jacket and a white long dress "My name is Himeko, Navigator of the Astral Express"
Peopl pause hearing her name as the next person spoke.

The brown haired calm man from before, he wore a black ish battle suit under a grey suit with a cane next to him "I am Welt Yang,"

Two people stood up at the same time "I am Caelus/Stelle i think" they both looked at each other, both had grey hair with black jackets, yellow accents and white shirts, both with black pants, trousers/skirt and looked like different gendered versions of each other, they seemed curious as they poked at each other as they sat down.

"Im Dan Heng, bodygaurd of the Astral Express" a young looking man with black hair and eyes, red eyeliner, and white jacket with teall acents and black undershirt.

A girl next to him hopped up "Im March 7th" She had puffy pink hair and multicloured eyes, she wore a blue and white outfit with jacket and skirt.

"Im PomPom Conductor of the Astral Express" they wore a little red conducting unform, they looked like a bunny.

The last of their group spoke, a man with angel wings and a halo on his head wearing a white suit with blue accents, gold eyes and gray blue hair "My name is Sunday"

Chapter Text

The next group Zenless got ready to speak, "I am Wise and this is Eous" a man stood up with grey hair, blue eyes and a street wear look of muted blue and blacks. Eous was a little bunny robot with ears, a little scarf and jacket.

"Im Belle, Wise sister" She had short dark blue hair with a street fashion look, of blacks dark blue and orange accents, with a skirt.

The next person stood up a tall wolf humanoid with white fur, he gently bowed "You can call me Von Lycaon of Victoria Housekeeping" he had a smart suit and mechanical looking boots.

A women with fox ears stood up a white shirt and long black pleated skirt, a teal jacket as well "I am Chief Miyabi of Section 6".

Next a women in a smart uniform with a black skirt and a teal scarf off the shoulder, long straight pink hair "I am Yanagi, member of section 6"

"Soukaku at your service," a young oni girl with blue skin and white hair spoke, a cropped teal jacket and black shorts and white shirt.

"Im Asaba Harumasa, part of section 6" He yawned a little, he had a yellow bandana under his dark blue hair, he wore a white shirt and black pants, a teal jacket tied around his waist, and a black archers armour chest piece around on of his arms and chest area.

A girl stood up, "Nicole of the cunning hares" she had long puffy pink hair with one pony tail to the side.and a black jacket and white white with text and short shorts. It was a revaing outfit.

A black and white robot man with a red jacket spoke "Im Billy Kid from the cunning hares"

One more person spoke "Bro guess Im last, Im Anton" A huge muscled man with a white jacket, white pants and a tight black shirt, he had a caution coloured belt loop off his belt around his leg, and a similar coloured tie around his hair wher his spikey brown hair with red accents sat.

"Now now we are going to start, sit and be quiet" a soft voice of Mnemosyne said.

The screen sputtered to life confusing the genshin crew minus the two blonde twins.

Text spurted to life on the screen "Episode 1 - the outbreak"

Chapter Text

The screen lit up with calm music showing a mother young child with white hair and blue eyes in a snowy village, she held groceries as she slipped up tossing up bread. She was helped up as something shot by in the sky. Explosions tore up the city as the young girl cried alone until a women stood over her in armour and weapons with white hair and blue eyes.

"The zombies should not have come after" the text said Kiana.

"Im guessing this is your world" (H3rd) Kiana looked over at (GGZ) Kiana, "Im so sorry that happened to you," Welt Joyce spoke up "If i can ask, what happened"

(GGZ) Kiana just stayed quiet.

"Those zombies should not have come afrer" young kiana said. Kiana mentioned falling stones and her dad saying something about Honkai.

This caught Welt Joyces attention "a honkai eruption? " he paused not asking the girl seeing her expression, Welt Yang had the same thoughtful look on his face but hid it.

Kiana called out for her dad. She heard rumbling and hyped herself up saying its not time to cry and that Kaslanas duty is fight honkai and save the world and thats what he would be doing.

(GGZ) Kevin softly gripped his arm as this was mentioned.

Kiana thought about where dad would be and went there trying to tell herself to be brave.

"I think you were very brave there Kiana, not many would be able to run to the heart of the destruction and be unafraid" (GGZ) Himeko smiled as (GGZ) Mei agreed "Kiana you were very young, I hope the past doesnt weight on your mind to much"

She called out for her dad as a god like entity appeared. Kiana asked this entity if it had seen her father.

A few people looked unnerved by this entity but one clasped a hand on his cane tight, another universe with her. If this was who he thought it was Welt Yang could only hope, that in equal messure she did not have such a hard life as before but also that she was not a threat to these people.

It didnt seem to respond just staying there quietly. Kiana tried to get its attention as her a man who knw her appeared. He told her to leave and dont stop no matter what happens. He told Kiana to not worry about her father since he is the master of the Kaslana family and to just run. Kiana agreed to what he said.

Everyone watched, Wise and Belle held their hands tight, their thoughts of this situation just ran back to that day, the fall of the old capital...

The god like entity with long white hair, a purple dress with a white bottom and a covered face, it spoke "Ignorance, arrogance, and small human."

"That voice is to creepy" March 7th shuddered and muttered. "I know bro, it feels like its stabbing into my mind. And its only through a screen" March shuddered more "Imgine how terrifying it is in reality actually I really dont want to".

The man rushed Kiana away.
"Today I will sound the death knell of human"

(GGZ) Kevin spoke "an ominous and not very comfting set of words now is it,"

Venti spoke quiet to Zhongli "alot of people say this stuff and can never really pull through but I have a bad feeling she is able to, I shudder to think about it" Zhongli looked at Venti listening and eyes narrowing if Venti felt afraid of this then maybe there was more to this entity.

The man called this entity a herrscher.

"What a herrscher?" March 7th asked as the GunGirlz and Honkai Impact crews seemed confused "Do you guys not have Herrschers?" Genshin crew mumbled no as the Zenless crew shook their heads and Stair Rail quietly agreed.

GunGirlz and Honkai sat quietly as they pondered how to explain.

(H3rd) Kevin sighed "a herrscher or lawman is a being that has been given powers by the Honkai, these powers create a core of honkai power within their body, this is called a herrscher core, there is two types of herrschers those that are just vessels for the herrschers cores personality, typically more destuctive.
Honkai as a power wants to destroy. And the second type are those that utilise the powers of the core, are also destructive but more calculating. Both need to be destroyed. These two forms arent set in stone sometimes the personality of the core can be more than mindless destruction such as seems to be the case with this one."

(H3rd) Himeko spoke "if a herrscher pops up they create eruptions, giant events which create destruction, this might be an eruption event for this herrscher"

March 7th thought "so like lord ravegers and Aeons like Nanook" Welt Yang nodded "That seems to be the case".

Venti paused "Like less controlled Archons"

A few people looked at the Zenless Gang "Like the strong Etherals" Miyabi thought of the implications of this.

It showed the entity and then the screen went quiet.

"This is freaky" March 7th squeled as others felt tense just seeing this, even comparing it to their own gods and beings everyone just felt fear.

Chapter Text

The screen lit up as a voice warned about an unidentified flying object about Soukai City.

(H3rd) Kiana smiled "We're next, will we see the past like those guys?"
(H3rd) Mei thought "We might see the past but whos past will we follow"

The voice says no bio energy readings are in the object. Clusters of small Honkai beasts and Mrch units detected and battle plans deployed, its been 2 years, 5 months 16 days 2 hours 34 minutes and 23 seconds since the third Honkai Eruption.

The GunGirlz Gang tenses seeing those stats, third Eruption not that long ago.

(H3rd) Mei's hand tenses as she tries not to show any weakness infront of these strangers, the 3rd honkai eruption was still a sore spots. She stays quiet hoping nobody noticed as she feels a hand interlock with hers, she looks up to see (H3rd) Kiana smilling at her holding her hands tight not letting go, showing her she would be there for her.

Kiana gets ready at command of Himekol, shes shown standing unphased as mechs and honkai beasts crash into each other not moving to dodge the explosion.

(H3rd) Bronya sighed "Bronya will have to admit that does make you look strong and unphased but thats a stupid thing to do"

They show Kiana dodging a plane with acrobatics and a foot appearing as she kicks to destroy the plane. Himeko tells her from coms to calm down.
March 7th gasps "Thats such a cool attack" Venti chuckled his fufufu. "I knwo so strong you flipped that machine,"

(H3rd)Kiana rubbed the back of her head blushing embarrassed "Aw thanks"

Kiana fights through Honkai beasts with acrobatics and a giant cat paw.  It zoomed out to something crashing into a building and topling it onto another building crushed but held out by the other building, Kiana is shown on the top of the destoryed building.

"KIANA!" "Sorry Major" (H3rd) Kiana shrinks away "but this also hasn't happened yet so are we reacting to our future so cool" (H3rd) Kiana forgot her embarrassment of destorying the building to gush about the fact she was watching the future, only one person looked concerned, Welt Yang from the Star Rail group remained silent.

She fights through enemies on the roof Himeko mentions having to stop a battleship crashing. Kiana stands on a bit of rebar as shes swept up by a small jet. She fights ontop of the jet.

"Is that safe?" Belle asked feeling very concerned for this young girl.

The jet approaches the big battleship as Kiana calls it the Selene. Kiana lands on the deck of the ship. Himeko reminds Kiana to call her Major as Kiana reports she landed.  30 minutes before battleship crashes, the teammates are in position.

(H3rd) Bronya and Mei nodded as Mei spoke "We will be there to help you fight Kiana." "Thank you guys" (H3rd) Kiana smiled.

Kiana asked if Mei would be there being obsessed. Himeko told her to calm down being obsessed with Mei.

(H3rd)Kiana waved her hands "No no Its not that I" She babbled blushing as (H3rd) Mei let out the softest chuckle which quieted (H3rd) Kiana down as she smiled at (H3rd) Mei ever so softly and they sat just looking at each other with the softest expressions.

(H3rd) Himeko felt like softly laughing at these two. Dan Heng had his mouth over Stelle and March 7th mouth to stop them being loud about the two.

Kiana starts to fight her way up the wing of the aircraft. Mei reports shes in position, Kiana says she'll go over which Mei says not to and to stick to the plan.

(H3rd) Himeko sighed "I agree with Mei, Kiana please stick to the plan,"

Kiana said, "Cant wait any longer! Its already been 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 38 seconds since I've last seen Mei!"

People paused "Kiana are you counting?" (H3rd) Mei asked at which (H3rd) Kiana shook her head "no I just recognised the time and realised yknow valkeryies need to keep and eye on things be vigilant" not everyone believed but took her word.

(H3rd) Kiana sneakily slid her jacket down to cover her arm where the stopwatch on her arms, looking like a watch sat, it was purple with pink stripes.

Kiana kept fighting her way up the side of the ship as she finished Mei is seen infront of her relaxing for a moment infront of a bunch of enemies Kiana bolt up and kick and enemy that was about to attack Mei.

Kiana hugs Mei saying shes stronger when Mei's around, stronger by a hundred fold.

March 7th awed as a few others found it adorable.

Himeko states if Kiana keeps taking the wording in the mission brief be flexible to go off she'll reconsider her battle deployment. Himeko is talking about why Kiana and Mei are teammates and Kiana states "because we are soul mates with a special connection?" But Mei corrects to say battle types.

(H3rd) Kiana has a face of flames as she tries not to keep blushing.

Kiana and Mei fight through enemies to make their way to the inside.

"I cant wait to see moreof our future Im so sad it had to end here for now, I wonder whos next, will it be their future of past" (H3rd) Kiana says once the screen turn black.

Chapter Text

Two stars were drawn on the ground "So your saying you fell here " Paimons voice echoed. Two shooting stars were seen "from another world?" She continued.

Off to one side Welt Yang Tried not to purse his lips was this another planet  or another... he hoped it was the former if the latter was becoming more common things would get bad.

A deep voice spoke up "This must be from the future, these shooting stars have gone over Liyue and Mondstadt but I have not seen these mentioned in any history books or recent news"

"I agree I've never said those words to any outsiders" Paimon nodded sat down on a couch instead of her usual floating.

The stars fly over Liyue and Mondstadt "But when you wanted to leave and go onto the next world, your path was blocked by some unknown god?"

The twins looked at the screen concerned "our path has never been blocked before, I didnt know this could happen," Lumine nodded "we must defeat her if we want to leave this world, we havent stayed in the sane world for a long time"

"Is this person a threat to Teyvat, this person cannot go unjudged" Neuvillette spoke.

"A threat to any nation with someone of this calibre is a concern but I feel as if I know this women" Ei paused thinking.


A large red star appeared glowing as it spawned, out stepped a foot a white haired lady with white clothes orange and black accents and orange yellow eyes.

Only one man tensed seeing her, Welt, he felt scared for these two twins and the fate that might await them at her hands.

"Outlanders your journey end here" "who are you?" Lumine asked as the women replied "the sustainer of Heavenly principles, the arrogation of mankind ends now" she fiddled with a floating glowing cube as one formed underneath the twins who flew up to avoid it.

Welt felt his body tense more, even if he didnt know these two twins, seeing people being attacked by this women so similar to her.

Both of their swords and wings appeared as they went to attack, a hoard of red cubes flew towards the twins, they dodged flying expertly, the both ended up in a small explosion as cubes collided and were fine as they both aimed ready to attack the sustainer of heavenly principles.

"Oh i hope you two come out of this ok" Elysia smiled at the two softly and sadly,

Aether flew back as an attack went to him cubes swallowed Lumine as Aether tried to reach out to her, the cubes swallowed her whole and flew back to the sustainer,

Aether screamed out clutching Lumine, everyone paused giving the two space. Lumine held her brother looking solemn, Aether clutched Lumine tight not letting her go.

Aether attacked with a light attack which caused a massive blast but the cubes absorbed the impact and flew towards Aether sealing him in and doing something to his power, Aether called out to his sister as he was consumed by the cubes.

Aether spoke as the screen faded away "And just like that, the god took away my sister. Some kind of seal was cast upon me, and I lost my power. So while we used to travel from world to world, we are now trapped here."

"I guess not all stories we are seeing will be good ones" Paimon shuddered as she watched.

"The future holds alot of grief but also hope for tomorrow..." Zhongli softly sighed.
