(Let's see where Kaeya is now.) Alexy tapped on the quest.
(Wait...this place...ah sh*t!)
"Why are you so pale, Alexy? Let Paimon see!" said Paimon as she looked at the map.
"Eek...the military prison..."
"How am I supposed to rescue him?" Alexy complained.
"Hey, isn't your father the General? Does he have some kind of map with the list and timetable for patrolling in his study at home?
"How am I supposed to know? After all, that's military secret!" Alexy shouted.
"Ohh..."
"Alexy, come down and eat breakfast!" said Alexy's mom.
"Yes, Mom, I'm coming!"
---
"Oh, Dad, you're home today?"
When Alexy came down, he was surprised to see his father, General Tsarivich, sitting at the table.
"Brother!" Ivan shouted, he looked so happy when he saw his older brother.
"Sometimes, a general needs a break and be with his family!"
"Yes, of course, Dad!"
"You don't seem to be happy!"
"Of course I'm happy, you must be mistaken, Dad!"
(So many surprises today, better take care of commissions first!)
===
11:00 PM
General Tsarivich left his study and walked to the bedroom, where his wife was waiting for him, but he did not forget to lock the door to the study.
. . .
CLICK
"It's done!" said Noelle.
"Alright!" Alexy opened the door to the study of his father.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Paimon asked.
"Trying to find out if there's something about the military prison in my father's study. I don't know does not mean it's not here." Alexy said as he used a flashlight to look into the dark room.
"OoO"
"Master Alexy, this...has a special lock."
"Huh...let me see..."
Alexy turned to look at the the thing Noelle pointed to, which turned out to be a safe with green military color. And it had a special passcode.
"WHAT!? My dad really has a secret safe as home!? And I never noticed it when I went in to give him a massage."
"It's fine not to notice it, Paimon thinks it was designed to not be easily spotted anyway. Only people with keen eye like Noelle can discover it."
"Hmm...but this one has a special passcode...type the wrong pass and it will trigger an alarm..." said Alexy.
"Oh...what do we do now...alright, let's just go straight to the military prison and beat the crap out of those soldiers...hehehe."
"I don't think it's a good idea to go in and beat the crap out of men and women who protect a country!" said Noelle.
"Noelle, don't imitate Paimon and use the kind of word like 'beat the crap out of', it's weird."
"Oh, I'll take it to my mind!"
"What are you doing?" Paimon asked as she saw Alexy scrolling through a list in the system.
"Genshin has so many characters, one of them probably can break the passcode, let me see..."
<
"What!?" Paimon shouted.
"What's the matter?"
"He belongs to the Fatui, the original possessor of those Delusion, don't you remember?"
"I do, but Fatui is a big bad organization, right?...then surely they can crack this code." Alexy explained his logic.
"Oh...fine, Paimon trusts your judgement."
"Ah, sir, can you crack this code..."
Viktor did not say anything but went near the safe. He crouched down and took out a strange device. The strange device then turned into a little human-like machine and then attached itself to the safe.
"Never expected that I would use the disgusting invention of Dottore..." said Viktor.
CLICK
The safe was opened.
"...It worked!" Paimon exclaimed.
"I know it will work!" said Alexy, "Now...let's see what's in here..."
. . .
"Ah...it's really here...the military prison's map!"
"Paimon has never seen such luck before...huh...Alexy...someone's coming..."
Hearing the warning from Paimon, Alexy turned off his flashlight.
YAWN
"Crap, it's the yawning of my dad!" Alexy whispered.
This sent a chill down everyone's spine, except Viktor, probably.
The footsteps stopped in front of the door.
(Crap, we're doomed) Alexy
"Alexy, is there any window?"
"Look around, there is none!" Alexy wanted to shout but he successfully suppressed his urge.
Fortunately, the footstep continued, much to everyone's relief.
"Look like it's heading toward the WC..." Paimon
Alexy the unsummoned all three and ran to the stairs...soundless like a cat, but not before putting everything back to its place, except the military prison map.
===
Alexy, wearing face mask, hailed a taxi to go from his neighborhood to the main street, which was so lively at night again, despite still being repaired in some parts. From there, Alexy hailer another taxi to go to outside the city.
"Customer, are you sure it's here?"
"Yes, here's the payment!"
Alexy got off in the middle of a hill, on top of which was the military prison.
(Although it's not good for environment, but there's no trash bin here, so...) Alexy took off his face mask and threw it away. Then he took his Fatui mask from the inventory and put it on his face.
<
"Why did you have to use two...what do they call that...ah, taxi...?"
"Let's just say Kaeya taught me some techniques during our training."
---
"How do we get in now? Beside the two soldiers at the gate, the large doors are closed." Paimon
"Hmmm..."
<
BANG BANG
The two soldiers fell down to the ground, the camera in top of the doors was also damaged.
"Easy!" Alexy took the ID card from one of the soldiers and put it on the lock beside the left door.
===
"Turn left here." said Paimon, who was holding the map.
"Eek" Paimon was pulled back by Alexy.
"Paimon, you were nearly caught by the patrols!"
"Ah sorry!"
Zap zap zap
Meanwhile, Lisa deactivated the cameras as they went.
---
<
"It must be that room." Alexy
"So lucky, there's no soldier here!" Paimon said and flew straight to the room and opened the door.
"Paimon, wait!"
"Kaeya, we are here to save you...ahh..."
In front of Paimon were Kaeya being tied to the chair with a swollen face and Colonel Sanders.
"So your name is Kaeya..." the Colonel turned to Kaeya and said.
"Ahahaha, yes, I'm Kaeya the Traveler...argh..." said Kaeya before suffering a punch to the face by Colonel Sanders.
"How dare you!? Release Kaeya RIGHT NOW!" Paimon shouted.
BANG
Before the Colonel could do anything more, he suffered a strike of purple lightning and fell down.
"I knew you guys would come to save me..." Kaeya smiled with his swollen face as he summoned his Harbinger of Dawn and used it to cut the robe that was tying him.
"Alright, let's get out of here!" Alexy
But when they turned around, they realized they were already surrounded by a group of soldiers.
"Stop right there, raise both hands up and kneel down!" a female soldier shouted.
"Tsk...so they finally realize something is wrong...but...hehehe" Alexy
<
"A child!?"
"Awww...she's co cute!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM
"RUN!" Alexy shouted and the whole group ran as their life depended on it.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Klee continued to throw bombs everywhere she ran, causing chaos in the military prison.
"Terrorists..." one soldier could only screamed a word before he was blown away by the force from the bombs.
"Jumpy Dumpty, go!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM
---
After a few minutes of chaos
"Why are those soldiers ahead not blown away?" asked Paimon.
"Ah shoot, that's the military special anti-bomb vest!" ALexy
"What do we do now?" Paimon
"Ahhhh...turn left!" Alexy
. . .
"Turn right!"
. . .
"...Just run up the stairs!"
. . .
"Ara...it seems like this is the top floor and there's no other place to run to!" said Lisa.
"We are doomed!" Paimon
"They are right behind us, we can't retreat!" Kaeya.
"What do we do now?" Paimon
"Easy...let's return to the system's dimension!"
<
"Ah sh*t, look like we can't do it in combat!" Alexy
"May as well blow up the building!" Kaeya smiled and looked at Klee.
"But my bomb can't blow up the building? said Klee in a very pitiful tone. (Yet) She added in her head.
"Let's use Overload reaction!" said Alexy, remembering the combination between Amber and Lisa the other day.
"But this building will require one of my most potent spells, and I need concentration for that.
"Ah alright!"
"Hey, Boss, can I join the battle?" said Viktor from inside the system's dimension, "It was boring here, I have nothing to do! Plus I can buy time better without being shot!"
"Alright!"
<
Right after being summoned, Viktor transformed into a Fatui Pyro Agent and dashed toward the soldiers and created spinning Pyro knives around him.
The soldiers pointed their guns at Viktor, but he used invisibility ability and the soldiers didn't know where to shoot. Some soldiers tried to shoot at the direction where they thought Viktor was, but instead shot at their fellow soldiers.
Meanwhile, Lisa was holding a Jumpy Dumpty with both of her hands and concentrated. Purple aura started to appear, surrounding her.
Slash slash slash
Many soldiers fell down without realizing why. Viktor kept slashing at them, causing chaos among the soldiers' rank.
"Stop focusing on him, focus on the group of terrorists ahead!"
But Viktor wouldn't let, every gun that was pointed at Alexy and co. soon found themselves cut into pieces.
BOOOOOOOM
It was a large explosion, destroying a large part of the solid and secure military prison. Many soldiers was also blown backwards due to the force from the explosion, even antibomb vests were destroyed. Many soldiers were wounded seriously.
"What!? Is this a suicide bombing?" Colonel Sanders finally arrived and shouted.
However, behind the smoke, he began to see something...many round things.
"Don't worry, we're still alive and well and healthy!" Kaeya said loudly from the Anemo slime balloons he was on.
There were three Anemo slime balloons, Alexy and Klee were on the first one, on the second one were exhausted Lisa and swollen-face Kaeya, and Viktor was on the third. Paimon was flying around the first one, near Alexy.
Alexy looked down to the building as the balloons were getting far away. He saw many wounded soldiers. He could see the blood, much blood, and some wounded soldiers wailing. He felt hurt, he did not want to hurt people.
"Don't be be too down, sometimes we can't avoid hurting people!" Paimon said.
"Yeah, I know!" Alexy nodded.
When Alexy looked at the other side, he saw many military vehicles arriving. One of the people getting of the first vehicle was his father, General Tsarivich, and beside him, Lieutenant Barnaby.
"No, don't shoot! There's a kid on the balloon!" said General Tsarivich, "Plus they're too high now, shooting at this distance may cause unwanted damage."
"Hey, at least be a man and leave a name!" Lieutenant Barnaby shouted.
"I..." Alexy felt guilty and he could not open his mouth.
"LISTEN CAREFULLY!" suddenly Viktor shouted.
As Viktor pointed at Alexy by using his palm like formally introduction, he solemly announced:
"The one before you is HIS HIGHNESS ALEXEI, Benevolent and Beloved Tsarevich of Snezhnaya, Freedom Protector of Mondstadt, Contract Guardian of Liyue, Eternity Preserver of Inazuma, Wise Prophet of Sumeru, Supreme Justice of Fontaine, War God of Natlan, the Custodian of the Faith of The Seven and the Grand Master of Gnosis Chess."
(Wait, what is he doing?) Alexy was dumbfounded by Viktor's action.
"Most importantly, he's the Supreme Leader of our organization, the Fatui, the fools who stand against the corrupt order of the world!"
