"Okay, between me, you, Xiangling, Xinyan if she wants to come with, Xingqiu and Chongyun none of us are healers, so let's scoop up Qiqi for the battle?" asks Ganyu, to which Keqing nods. The two run off to the purple haired girl and ask her to join their team. "Hey, Qiqi? Would you mind joining our team for the battle? We really need a healer and it would be great if you could join us," asks Keqing sweetly, and Qiqi nods, a small smile on her face. "Qiqi would like to join you, because Qiqi trusts you. Do you trust Qiqi, Miss Keqing?" questions Qiqi and Keqing replies with, "Of course!"
"One moment then," says Qiqi, walking over to Lisa and telling her that she'd joined Keqing's team. Klee was already picked for another team, and Ganyu round up the rest of their friends.
"Hey, Xinyan's joining us!" smiles Xingqiu, clapping his hands together in excitement. "I'm mighty excited for this battle, it sounds like it'll be loads of fun!" exclaims Xinyan.
-------------------------------------
After multiple battles, it was finally time for Keqing's team to go forth. "Before you go in, we have a diagram of all of Azhdaha's main attacks. Please allot roles in the battle wisely. In the case that any of you faint, we will be quick to help heal you if need be," says Lisa, pointing at a board with illustrated diagrams.
"Can I be the pseudo leader here?" ponders Keqing out loud, to which the group nods. "I'm sure you'd think of a great way to defeat this boss, Qing," laughs Ganyu, as Keqing goes pink, before continuing.
"Ahem. So, the main thing about Azhdaha is the fact he is able to switch between multiple elements. Miss Lisa, do we have information on the elements he has summoned forth today?" questions Keqing, to which Lisa replies with, "Hydro and Electro."
"Okay, we know that Azhdaha summons each element after about 10 minutes of battle if I remember correctly. And at the end, he summons both simultaneously for the most amount of damage. We'll be relying on people who aren't currently on resistance with his element because it'll be hard for an Electro wielder like me to deal damage in his Electro phase, as you know. I will use my Lightning Stiletto to teleport in and rescue anyone out of places when a lot of damage will be dealt, especially when he starts leaping and jumping on the ground. Unfortunately, we don't have a Geo user, so we'll be heavily reliant on you, Qiqi, to keep us alive in case some of get hit by the elemental bleed. But I heard Xinyan's got an upgraded shield now, and that you can cleanse elements, if I'm correct?" says Keqing, turning to the musician.
A pattering of footsteps is heard, and the group turns to look at the newcomer. "Hello there. My name's Yun Jin, and I was enrolled in this course as well, just I was quite busy with my duties, so I had to attend it later in the day. And it just so happens that I wield a Geo vision," says Yun Jin, dressed in various shades of purple and blue. "That's great! Do you use a shield?" asks Keqing. "Of sorts," replies Yun Jin simply.
"Of sorts?" echoes the group, confused. "More so a barrier for damage, then shielding. I can help cast Crystallized shields though, if that would be alright with you?" adds Yun Jin, and Keqing nods to that. "That's good with me. What about you guys?" replies Keqing. Pretty much everyone is onboard with Yun Jin joining them, so she takes a seat as they continue the conversation.
"Back to the topic at hand. So your shield's improved, right Xinyan?" asks Keqing. "You got that right! I had that before this course, what I upgraded on was being able to cast shields for everyone. I'll do my best to keep y'all safe!" grins Xinyan. "Thanks, that's great. Oh, who am I kidding? We're the most ragtag team out there... if that word is even used. Xinyan will keep us supplied with shields, Qiqi with healing, Yun Jin with crystallized shields and I'll zoom in and out to get you guys to safety. The rest of you, stay focused on doing damage, especially you, Ganyu!" yells Keqing, before stepping outside. "Miss Lisa, we're ready," says Keqing. "Alright everyone, make sure you have some potions before you step in and carry some food. Qiqi is a fantastic healer, but don't put so much pressure on her to stay alive, alright?" says Lisa, as she ushers them to the outside of the chamber, where the Chinese symbols of Electro and Hydro are, floating on the door.
Keqing lightly brushes the door with her fingers; sparks of Electro escaping them, and Xingqiu follows suit, albeit with drops of Hydro as the two symbols begin to glow and pulsate, the door sliding back into itself, opening a hallway that was dimly lit.
-------------------------------------
Then, they are let inside the chamber and require to wait about 5 minutes before going to battle as they wait outside the darkened gate preventing them from beginning the fight early. "God, I'm so nervous, Keqing," states Ganyu, fanning her hands in attempt to keep control of her anxiety. "It'll be fine, it'll be fine," reassures Keqing. "Stay confident in your abilities and each other, everyone," remarks Yun Jin, a smile on her face. The gate opens, as smoke fills the absolutely gigantic arena and they step in.
The terrifying roar of Azhdaha is heard, as they see the 6 Stone Steles keeping Azhdaha from escaping the arena start to sink into the ground, trembling and shaking the ground all the while. "Cowardly insect, face me!" shrieks Azhdaha.
"The fuck?" says Keqing, concerned. "Oh, don't mind him, he's a bitch of a toad when he needs to battle, but he's chill outside of that," replies Ganyu, stating that she knew that because of being an adeptus meant that she was quite used to the Archons' friends being... weird.
