(A/N) For this chapter and the rest of the chapters will have references, characters from other games and the plot will be thought up by me so let's begin.
But mostly for the Sumeru arc is inspired on a different game's plot that I thought I should put that could work on what I thought.
Also the Dendro archon retcon is a pain in the ass so I'm giving it a male archon (Sighs)

Sumeru
No one's Pov

After exiting the Chasm the three arrived at Sumeru where they encountered a statue of the seven and Lumine received Dendro powers.

Lumine tests her powers out as she lifts her hands as vines traps enemies and if engulfed in fire they burn. Next Lumine uses Edensinger which she can resurrect herself and others also poison nearby enemies of where she died.

As the three moved on they encountered monsters and going through a sandstorm of the harsh desert, they finally made it out to see up infront of them :The Last City.

Alex: Here we are girls, The Last City.

Paimon: Why is it called The Last City?

Alex: Sumeru gone through many losses of it's settlements due to the sandstorms and Ruin machine attacks that happened. The Sumeruians that managed to come together build a city with high walls which they called it the Last City of Sumeru.

Lumine: Hmm makes Sense given of what happened.

Alex: Alright let's get inside before we get sand on our eyes and sunburn.

Lumine: Good sooner the better I hate sand.

Paimon: You said too I hate it!

The three were inside the city which Alex then explains about of Sumeru's god.

Alex: Since that Ganyu mention that the Dendro Archon rose prior of 500 years tells us that the previous one died at Khaenri'ah. The one that is current is named I think Osiris but I'm not sure once we reach to The Tower.

Lumine: The tower?

Paimon: Oh Paimon knows little of it, let me explain!

Alex: Alright, by all means.

Paimon: Uhh okay The Tower was built right after the city and it's walls were completed which the ones in charge of protecting Sumeru are the, uhh...

Alex: Vanguardians.

Paimon: Right that one.

The three were now inside the Tower where they find a young girl with light green hair tending the front desk.

???: Can I help you two- uhh three?

???: Collei is someone there? I'll be right there.

As the voice was heard the person then came.

???: Hmm you three aren't from here, anyways what can I help you three?

Lumine: We're here to ask for a audience with Osiris.

???: Why of what purpose?

Alex: It's something of matter private we need to talk about with Osiris.

???: Then I'm afraid he's not here at the moment, he's dealing with a threat that involves Ruins machines that may pose a threat against the Last city.

Cyno: Anyways we should introduce ourselves this here that you met is Collei and I'm Cyno, third command of the Vanguardians also part of the Sumeru Academia.

The three introduced themselves as Cyno and Collei told thier story of mostly Collei's that she was born sick, her parents wanted to save her from her illness but it leaded Collei in the hands of the Fatui which they experimented at her.

Cyno met Collei which they both know Amber, Cyno performed a ritual that cleanse Collei of what the Fatui did to her of bearing Archon residue.
After Collei is no longer bearing Archon residue the only thing she wants is vengeance.

Alex: Collei you're not the only one who suffered in the Fatui's hands like you, I was brainwashed by them over 10 years ago and was made as their slave until I managed to break free since then now I'm pretty much doing what you're doing.

Cyno: Collei, it'll take some time to find Barnabas of wherever he is in Sumeru given that the Vanguardians are stretch thin.

Lumine: Anyways back to the topic at hand where is Osiris?

Cyno: Hmm for where Osiris is given that he's dealing with ruin machines, he would be at the Ancient Simulation on the black garden.
Also the second head of the Vanguardians went after Osiris to find him now it's just me in charge.

Paimon: Ancient Simulation what kind of place is name like that?

Cyno: It's where the Ruin machine comes from that are active on Sumeru, Collei will you take the three to the black garden.

Collei: Wha- why me?

Cyno: You been in Sumeru for one year and I'm busy, so go get some fresh air than sitting in the front desk.

Timeskip

The three with Collei head out from the city and enter the rainforest of Sumeru which they are now at the black garden.

Alex: We're at the Black garden but I don't see an ancient simulation?

Collei: From what I remembered what Cyno said about Osiris, which he goes around places by some portal thing.

Lumine: I see some ruin confluxes, I say we activate them.

Once Alex and Lumine activate the confluxes, they all heard machinery and howls.

Collei: Oh no ruin machines and Rifthounds!

Alex and Lumine had no choice to defend themselves and the confluxes, but mostly the ruin machines and Rifthounds ended up fighting each other.

As the two downed some Rifthounds and a ruin guard.
A group of ruin machines type classes appears and was about to attack the four until, a rain of electro arrows comes raining from the sky.

With the ruin machines destroyed, Alex, Lumine and Paimon see someone they recognized.

Alex, Lumine and Paimon: Fischl? And Oz.

Fischl: Ah it's you three again, hello it's been a long time!

Oz: You know what I don't think I'm going to translate that, what she seems like she's happy to see you again.

Lumine: Fischl. it has been a long time you parted ways with us, what are you and Oz doing here in Sumeru?

Oz: Since we left Mondstadt, Cyrus asks us to train new adventurers on Dragonspine but we were unavailable which we took our travel to Sumeru.

Fischl: Who's this young girl with you?

Fischl and Oz were introduced to Collei and Fischl being herself caused Collei puzzled while Oz translate what Fischl means. Until a white digital portal opened.

Alex: Guess that's the portal, Fischl it's good to see you again but can you take Collei back to the Last City while we go into that portal we'll catch up on each other later.

Fischl: Alright whatever fare of your business here then I wish you three luck.

As Fischl, Oz and Collei left, The three head into the portal which they find themselves on a new environment of what they just seen.

Alex: What in the world...
