From the Last Master of Humanity to Nameless

Chapter 0-2 -Eye of the Storm-

A/N:

Okay. The good news is that I finally passed my final exam and I'm now back to write. Wow... I really need to be at my base to how I manage my schedules with my activities and how to balance my work life once I get a job...

Anyways, who is your favorite Honkai Star Rail character?

Mine is Aventurine (⁠灬⁠º⁠‿⁠º⁠灬⁠)⁠♡

Now why do I have this daydream about Aventurine and Ritsuka? Is this a sign for a good chemistry?

Then again, Ritsuka is the waifu we all loved, regardless their gender. We pick what we love.

Also, did you also see the fate reference in Honkai Star Rail yet?

'I am bone to my bat
Stellaron is my body and
Trailblazers is blood.'

Ritsuka facepalmed herself.

"... It seems I cursed everyone." She muttered while she was walking and puzzle pieces flying around like pinballs, it's so fast that no one ever blinked their eyes as they hit the Voidrangers with no mercy.

How do they came from? Ritsuka wondered. Did they come from the void as their names applied to be? From what she had seen when she defeated them each time, they all crumbled their armours, like if you put fire into a scrape of plastic and sucking from this small black hole for example.

And why does she hear a sound of crushing glass from them? Is she becoming like Mozart?

"... So much about peacefulness. Then again this is another world with different rules." She said nonchalant and shrugged her shoulders.

Meanwhile Voyager rammed the Voidrangers as he rode with his go kart.

"Ba-Bam!" The two said in unison, then every side from their enemies went boom while Ritsuka walked further away from the explosion.

The red-headed girl couldn't helped but chuckled and high-fived Voyager. As she withdrew her hand, her mind drifted back.

'Aeons... Paths... Pathstrider... Emanetor... And this new power I drew.' Ritsuka clenched her fist where her command spells are placed.

'I wonder how much would be different if I have this power from beginning...'

"Master. You're tense again." She snapped herself out as Voyager pointed out.

The blond-haired boy tilted his head with a reassured smile on his face. "Say, master. We should better focus on our task and go back, right?"

Her shoulders slightly relaxed when Ritsuka heard his words and gave him a smile that growing on hope. "You're right, There's no time murking around. After all, there's people here that need our help."

With a raised head, Ritsuka gazed forward with a determined smile on her face when they were clearing the floor. Which all researchers are rushing towards the elevator to get to the safe zone.

As the automatic door opened, March 7th and Dan Heng stepped into the Storage Zone, they ignoring the researchers who are bypassed them as they using the elevator to get to the Master Control Zone.

"Ah!" The pink-haired girl pointed towards Ritsuka and Voyager who were checking out the area to find any remaining Voidrangers they might miss. "I found you guys!"

"Eh?" Ritsuka turned around. "You two must be the members of the Astral Express, right?" She gave out a small grin that lifted up the room despite the current situation. "Are you here to get me?"

"That's right! My name is March 7th and this guy here is Dan Heng."

The guy whose name is Dan Heng, raised his eyebrow. "I can introduce myself if you can let me, March 7th."

This also makes the bubbly girl also raising her eyebrow. "Oh really? Tell me when you get out of the Archive more often and then we can talk."

"March 7th this not a place to discuss this-"

"It is!" March 7th puffed up her cheeks.

The red-haired girl glanced at them back and forth as she watched them bickering, then she chuckled, making them stop.

"Hahaha... You two really are getting along with each other. Will you guys invite me over to your upcoming wedding?" Ritsuka teased them with a mischievous grin.

"WE'RE NOT!" Dan Heng and March 7th were saying in sync, their behaviors are so different than before and took them for a little while to calm down for a few minutes.

"Anyways..." Dan Heng coughed his throat while March 7th looking to the other side. "We are truly here to pick you up. Fujimaru Ritsuka? Correct?"

"That's me," She nodded and her hand raised towards Voyager who was looking at them in curiosity, especially March 7th. "And this little guy here is Voyager. He doesn't talk that much as he only knows limited vocabulary, but he can speak just as fine."

The astronaut boy gave them a smile. "Hello... My name is... Voyager. It's a pleasure to meet you... Dan Heng... March 7th... As a fellow traveler... Shall we venture to the stars together?"

The members of the Astral Express were awestruck by what the boy just said to them. They couldn't help but feel a sort of kinship towards him and to Ritsuka as well. And those feelings were something that March 7th and Dan Heng couldn't put themselves just yet.

Ritsuka only hummed and didn't say that much. "Well, as much as I want to go up there. Let me just put this away and search for other remnants that may be passing out during the invasion."

"Good idea..." Dan Heng snapped out of his trance along with the bubbly pink-haired girl who just rubbed her head.

'What... Was that?' March 7th thought that she shared with the aloof guy beside her. They are leaving this thought, for now.

As the red-haired girl placed the package in another room, it was time to check the storage zone more thoroughly.

Ritsuka's instincts weren't so wrong as her gaze landed on the sleepy grey-haired boy who seems to be on her age when she applied to Chaldea before.

There was one thought in her mind, while ignoring the other two of their shenanigans about who's going to the CPR to this poor guy. Voyager in other hand snapped few photos of the scene like he always does.

'... This is definitely a main character scenario.' The redheaded girl thought and watched Dan Heng doing the CPR, but only got pushed by March 7th as the guy finally woke up.
