We open on Matrix standing over a man who's on his hands and knees begging.

"Please please please try to push back the collection date Mr. Matrix. I still don't have all my affairs in order. I beg of you!" The debtor pleaded.

"I've pushed this date back as long as I could. So cough up the Mora or the Fatui won't be showing too much mercy to you," Matrix said.

"Then I guess you leave me no choice," The debtor said menacingly.

Matrix wasn't phased as he saw a horde of Gardemeks coming his way.

"I pity you. But sure i'll entertain you're fantasies of beating me just a little. But first let me set a more comfortable mood for me," Matrix sighed. 

He snapped his fingers and all of a sudden Matrix, the debtor, and the Gardemeks were now in a dark place with a checkered floor.

"That's better. Now then. Let's begin your final masquerade!" Matrix said taking out an eye-mask and posing the same way he would if he had an official drip marketing/splash art. (Little fourth wall break).

Matrix summoned his knights made of Anemo energy to attack the Gardemeks. Each one appearing and disappearing for each time they attack the Gardemeks. Matrix raises his hand slightly and gathers a circle of his Anemo knights that collide and attack the Gardemeks. 

Matrix put his hand forward and quickly pulled it back as a sword made of Anemo was created and jammed into the ground. The impact creating a shockwave of Anemo that hit many Gardemeks at once. The Gardemeks fell as they lost function. 

"Ready to cough up the Mora now?" Matrix asked looking behind him back at the debtor.

The debtor tried to run. Matrix sighed.

"I guess you still need to be taught something. May the Archons have mercy on you," Matrix said.

"Masks on. The ball's begun!" Matrix said adorning his eye-mask.

The ground cracked and broke drastically and created a pillar of Anemo energy.

The scene returned to the Fontaine landscape with Mora scattered on the ground and the debtor lying unconscious. Matrix picked up one of the Mora and bit it to check its authenticity. He nodded in satisfaction. He took out a clipboard and pen. Matrix wrote something down on the clipboard.

"Mr. Jeanpierre. Debt collected. Boys pick up the rest of this Mora........and dispose of this mess. I'll meet you all back at the city," Matrix said as Fatui operatives and agents came out of the bushes.

"Lord Pantalone will be pleased by my efficiency. Though my methods are something Lady Arlecchino will approve of," Matrix said to himself as he walked away.
