Honkai Star Rail: A Ben Across Space {REWRITTEN}

Chapter 3

"Ben-trayed"

Stelle is sleeping through the night, rolling and grabbing her blanket as she tried to calm herself... Likely because of the dream she saw

She hears a voice, an unfamiliar voice yet one she somehow recognises talking to a young Cocolia in her office

Stellaron: Cocolia... Cocolia...

Teenage Cocolia: Wh—Who are you...? ...What are you?

Stellaron: We are allies... allies of the guardians through generations

Teenage Cocolia: What do you want...?

Stellaron: To rebuild... this dying world... To help you... achieve your wish

Stelle bolts awake, checking her surroundings to make sure that nothing had gotten to her. She let's out a sigh of relief

Stelle: (What... Was that?)

She swings her head to the door when she heard a knock

March 7th: Stelle? Are you up?

Ben: I will use Echo Echo if you aren't

She could hear him chuckle a bit. Smiling, she got out of her bed to meet Ben, March and Dan Heng waiting for her outside

March 7th: Rise and shine sleepy head!

March greeted her with a smile, Stelle only replied to her with a wave and a small yawn causing March to giggle

March 7th: Hey, Stelle. Did you hear that?

Stelle shook her

Ben: Maybe they are trying to give us friendly greetings? We are going to save them after all

Dan Heng sighed at Ben's words and decided to give her a proper explanation

Dan Heng: There's a group of Silvermane Guards at the entrance... and I don't think they're here to say hi

He turned to Ben with his ever neutral face, while Ben chuckled to himself. March puts her hands on her hips

March 7th: If this is our escort, it's less friendly than I was expecting

Stelle shrugging at this, not bothering her much

Stelle: You can't always be friendly on the job, you know

March 7th: Huh, you must've had some miserable jobs

Ben: She doesn't remember anything?

March sighed

March 7th: Eh, I'll let have this one

Dan Heng turned towards the door

Dan Heng: Let's go and meet them. We won't know until we're down there

With a nod, everyone left the hotel. They went outside and we're immediately greeted by a bunch of Silvermane Guards pointing their weapons at them

Silvermane Guard: Hey! Commander Bronya is waiting for you all down below. Hurry up and go see her. And no tricks!

Ben: Well, there goes out friendly greetings

The rest facepalmed at his joke

March 7th: Are we... in a lot of trouble?

Then the Silvermane Guards started escorting them to Bronya who is accompanied by Pela
