Childe punched Y/N a few more times making sure she will feel a bit weaker than before.

"Sorry, I don't want you to ruin my plan. You are already too smart." He gently whispers to her before tying her up on a nearby tree away from the Harbor.

Tiredly looking at him, "I'll still get away from this..." She muttered. Wincing when she felt him tightening the rope around her wirst.

He chuckled, "You wish."

"I wonder... How will Tuecer react, when his dear brother... Continuously beating up his favorite babysitter?" She mumbled, remembering the energetic kid's face.

The smirk on Childe's face soon faltered.

"Don't you ever being up my little brother, Y/N." He said bringing his hydro blade beside her face.

"M-Monster? Maybe that's his reaction..." She continued pushing his buttons.

"Shut up!"

"Will he ever think of you as a brother sti--"

"I SAID SHUT UP!"

...

Silence flowed through the atmosphere.

Childe stared at her for the last time, noticing she was passed out.

A frown took over his face at the sight of his... Friend.

He did owe her alot keeping Tuecer company when he was training when he was still in Snezhnaya.

The frown grew more at the sight of the blood on her face, the bruises on her arms, and the arrow still sticking behind her.

"Shit..."

Y/N woke up and saw a familiar Magenta eyes with a Talisman sticking on her head.

"Qi..qi?" She mumbled.

She gasoed softly, "Your awake, Qiqi was worried."

The small girl helped Y/N sit up, she noticed her arms were covered in bandages and so was whole torso.

"Baizhu helped Qiqi clean Y/N's bruises." Qiqi said as she gave Y/N a cup of water. She thanked the adorable zombie and drank the water.

She felt slightly better now, but has no memory of how she got here and what happened before.

Looking at Qiqi she smiled warmly, "Who brought me here?"

Qiqi placed her index finger on her chin, thinking.

"Qiqi doesn't know... Qiqi was behind the counter when somebody said you need help. So Qiqi went and see you have blood everywhere. Baizhu helped Qiqi and Y/N then told your condition to Keqing." She explained.

The girl sighed, irritated forgetting who was the last person she encountered. Not wanting to show her face to the adorable zombie, she smiled.

"Thank you Qiqi, tell Baizhu that aswell when he comes back okay?"

Qiqi nodded, Y/N smiled back before-

A loud thunderstorm struck outside, Qiqi and Y/N rushed to the open door and saw a storm swirling in.

She also saw Ganyu rushing to the area where they can access the Jade Chamber.

Y/N softly pushed Qiqi back inside and told her to stay put before putting on her now clean coat before rushing rowards the Jade Chamber.

"Osial..." Y/N mumbled at the sight of the monster.

There on the Jade Chamber stood the Adeptis, Keqing, Aether, Paimon, Y/N and Ningguang and some Mililiths.

Y/N was too distracted and didn't listen to what Ningguang said and saw her teleport above them.

Using her abilities, a glowing platform appeared infront of them and there rises the Guizhong Ballista.

The 3 Adeptis, Moon Carver, Mountain Shaper, and Cloud Retainer took each a Ballista and used there power to shoot and attack Osial from afar.

"It's working!" Paimon exclaimed as she watched the Adeptis in awe.

But unfortunately, there opened 3 portals on the platform. And the Fatui started entering the platform attacking the Ballistas.

Y/N let out an irritated groan at the sight of the Fatui once more.

Letting out her blade and as different cryo chess pieces appeared around her she jumped down and went on to protect the ballistas.

"Come on! Let's help her!" Keqing yelled before jumping down with Aether following her.

This will be a long fight...

Y/N watched in awe when she saw Aether managing 3 Adeptal energy thanks to Xiao, Ganyu, and Madam Ping.

Protecting the Ballistas were much easier. When all of a sudden, Osial unleashed a strong attack, causing the platform to break.

Everybody started to fall as soon as the platform disappeared.

The Adeptis grabbed the falling guards alongside Keqing.

Xiao didn't hesitate and grabbed Aether with a tight grip and teleported away.

Y/N used her cryo chess pieces as stepping stones to reach up the Jade Chamber.

Soon everybody gathered once more all together.

"Be careful now." Xiao told Aether as they teleported to them, tightening the grip around the exhausted traveler.

Y/N sighed and looked at the monster, "What now, Lady Ningguang."

A few moments of silent pause, Ningguang opened her eyes with determination and confirmation of her next move.

"I'll sacrifice the Jade Chamber."

Ganyu looked at her, "What?"

Xiao nodded, "I understand." Placing his Yaksha mask on.

Ningguang turned to Y/N.

"Y/N, go down to the Citizens of Liyue and tell everyone to stay away from the Harbor for the moment."

She nodded and went down the Harbor with the help of her Vision and evacuated the citizens.

---

"Farewell, old friend."

Those words were the final words before the Aether strucked his blade down the Jade Chamber.

The Jade Chamber crumbled and soon fell down to the beast...
