Love or hatred? (Diluc x y/n) OLD VER

49:Chaos

Lumine POV
I ran towards the knights of Favonius Headquarters in Mondstadt, time was running out. I found out that the Fatui was plotting something big, something that would cause destruction that would be near impossible to recover from. I burst into Jean's office to see familiar faces. Even people from Liyue and Inazuma were here.

"Lumine! We've all been informed of the Fatui's secret plan. They must be stopped at all cost. We expected you to come sooner or later. We're gonna head to Snezhnaya. There's no time to lose. The Anemo archon will bring us there on his dragon," Said Jean, nodding at Venti.

Childe POV
I looked up at the sky, I sighed. "It's going to be a war isn't it? The Fatui against everything else. I hope that the others will be safe while this happens..." I whispered, looking at (y/n) who stood beside me.

She nodded and looked towards the sea. "Interference can't be avoided. I hope they will understand the situation and go away," She muttered. Concern flashed in (y/n)'s eyes.

An few hours later...

I looked up from where I was. I was responsible for making sure the stronger people of the interfering forces gets occupied. As far as I know, (y/n) is suppose to be with the Tsaritsa and help her ruin the Abyss order's plan with a few other Harbingers.

I saw shadows of boats from afar. I took a pair of binoculars and saw ships, battle ships. Forced of Liyue, Inazuma and Mondstadt were heading towards Snezhnaya. Citizens were already evacuated from the area so it should be safe. I heard a loud roar and looked up.

It was a dragon, I guessed that the stronger people would be there. I followed the dragon to where it landed and watched from a hiding spot.

I watched as the people on the dragon climb down. I waited for them to finish talking.

Three archons...their gnosis does not really contribute to their strength. I can't take them on by myself...where's shortie? Oh never mind, he's over there at the bushes.

Scaramouche used the god like powers he was given for this mission and separated the  archons from the rest. I smirked, it was my cue.

I leapt out of my spot and stood in front of the group. "Childe, get out of the way," Said Lumine, she summoned her sword. I smirked and shook me head. "I have orders from the Tsaritsa. I suggest you don't interfere with her plans, Lumine." I Said coldly. Diluc gave me his death stare. They started to talk among themselves again.

After a moment, Diluc and Lumine ran off. I let them go, they shouldn't be much of a problem for the others.

Diluc POV
Lumine and I went towards the direction where the Fatui's plan is suppose to take place, an abandoned castle ruin. I still haven't seen (y/n) anywhere, at least not yet.

I don't want to fight you...please. Don't make it happen.

(Y/n) POV
A portal opened, one that I have never seen before. A monster that I have never came across myself appeared with someone who looked like Lumine but it was a male.

Could it be? Lumine's missing twin brother? His name was Aether if I remember correctly.

"That's the prince of the abyss?" I muttered, summoning my sword. The Tsaritsa nodded and gave me the signal to proceed with the plan. She went to attack the monster beside Aether. I went for Aether, using the godlike powers the Tsaritsa bestowed on the Harbingers. I brought him elsewhere in the ruins.

"You're Aether right?" I Said, taking a few steps away from him. He summoned his sword and charged at me. I blocked his sword with my own and activated my vision to knock him back.

I can do this. Distract him for as long as possible.

Aether and I started to fight. Aether seem to have some unknown power that I've never seen before. I went at him with my blade infused with pyro but it stopped. Dark particles surrounded my blade and stopped it from moving forward. "It's no use. Give up. You alone is not enough to stop me from proceeding with my plans," Said Aether, he knocked me back, slamming me into a wall.

I winced, there's no way for me defeat him with only my vision. I activated my delusion and went at Aether again. Electro combining with Pyro caused overload and threw both of us back.

"How did you know my names anyway?" Yelled Aether as he delivered a hard blow with his sword that missed me by a hair. "I met Lumine. She told me about how you two were separated," I replied,  swiftly slashing at him multiple times.

Aether gave me a look and threw me into a wall, causing me to crash through. I felt myself lose grip of my sword and let it disappear into particles. My delusion deactivated as I struggled to stand up.

Ow! That much strength is so unnatural. Is it one of his powers?

Aether came at me again, he threw me into a pillar in the room. I winced, warm liquid trickled down my face. I stood up and summoned my sword again. "Give up, you cannot defeat me. You're just a mortal," Said Aether, walking towards me with his sword pointed at my neck.

Just then, there was a loud crash. The ceiling gave way and Diluc fell through with Childe falling right after him. They were slightly injured. Aether slammed me down onto the ground, he put a foot on my head.

He stabbed his sword through my side and took it out quickly. I groaned in pain as he did so. Diluc and Childe looked at us in horror.

Aether threw me into another pillar, I was unconscious after that.

Diluc POV
I watched in horror as (y/n) gets throw into a pillar. I summoned by claymore and glared at the person. The ground suddenly shone violently. Everything around me went dark all the sudden and I fell once again below.

So this is how Diluc and Childe got there together:
The other people fled towards the castle ruins where they got separated. Childe and Diluc ran into each other there and they were attacked by a bunch of abyss mages. The ground broke and that's how they needed up there with (y/n) and Aether.
