What just happened?! ⋆｡°✩ (A Honkai Star Rail Fanfic)

Rivet Town

Well this isn't good

"Are you here for your friends?"

He turns and Natasha's eyes, currently tending to another patient, peeking her head around the curtain that surrounds one of the beds in the clinic

"Yes, did they leave already?"

"I'm pretty sure your friends already left, I think the last one to leave was the grey haired man, Caelus was his name?"

Shit.

"Yes- thanks again for the help Natasha, I'll be going then."

"Of course, no problem." She says smiling before sliding the curtain back into it's original place, tending to a patient he couldn't get a good glimpse at

He walks out of the clinic groaning, finding no one along the streets of the underground

This is just great

He couldn't have been at the fight club for that long right? An hour or two he thought

Or four

Apparently, the time between fights is longer than he thought

They could be anywhere at this point in the story, if he even knows when that exactly is

It makes him uncomfortable not knowing what's going to happen anymore, or where they stand plot wise.

Nevertheless, he has to find them asap, leaving bolder town on his own without a guide could go wrong pretty quickly

But it seems like he has no other choice, since after walking around town for a while and asking people about their whereabouts he's not any further than before

It doesn't matter, he has to learn how to adapt to the unexpected or else he won't achieve anything in this new life

So he sets out north, there being a shield that tells him that if he makes his way further north he would eventually reach rivet town.

There were few enemies he'd run into along the way, none of them actually providing some kind of threat

He did run into a few chests along the way, even though in game you'd get stellar gems and credits together with other materials, the chests didn't offer much other than credits and things he couldn't recognise

Eventually, he did find his way to rivet town, and the first thing he noticed was the shape the town was left in.

The town's been abandoned, Cristal like structures growing due to the fragmentum and monsters littered across town

Some houses were only crumbling at the edges, some were barely holding themselves together, looking like they could collapse at any minute

He definitely doesn't remember it being this bad, but that's not important right now, he needs to find his friends or even better

Clara.

Finding Clara is his top priority while being here, he knows she will be in danger when the trailblazer finds her, but now that everything's been altered even by the tiniest second, she could be in serious danger if no one finds her.

So he makes his way through town, slaying monsters along the way and opening chests he found

He also found a warp trotter, though it fled before he had the chance to react to it's appearance.

Along the way, after taking a path that led further downwards, he came across a hand shaped robot, which soon turned it's attention to him and immediately started to shift it's gears
