Honkai Star Rail: Interastral War Corporation

Chapter 3: Why is this so Easy?

As soon as the dude swung his, I think sword at me, I don't know, it looked weird, I ducked and jabbed my bat into his stomach. He definitely over committed, and I overestimated him.

After I incapacitated him, I thwacked him across the head with my bat for good measure, like Cat said, can't be too careful.

I think it was, better to be sape? No, something than sorry? I forgot it but it went something along those lines.

After I was done with that, Dan Heng was done with his little scuffle as well, he knocked his opponent clean out, but March not so much.

Cat: March, didn't you learn swordplay or something? You won't be able to beat him right now, as he's being too aggressive.

Y/N: How do you know about that?

Cat: I have my sources, a magician never reveals their tricks!

I'm getting worried now.

Ya know what I'm just going to knock them out, this is taking too long.

I go up to the opponent and smack them with my bat, he's going to feel that in the morning.

March: Well that's done, yay!

> March...

- March... you didn't do anything!

- Yay!

March: What!?

Cat: We don't have time for this! We got to continue, check this room.

Y/N: Ugh, fine.

We try to search the room, but we weren't able to find anything.

Y/N: Nothing

Cat: That's fine, let's see more of the base.

We were exploring for a bit but then we came up across a sort of prison of sorts, obviously there were guards, but we don't want to hurt any of the prisoners there, so we had to try and figure out how to deal with them.

Cat: Before you do anything, I have something I can do.

Dan Heng: And that is?

Cat: One thing I can do is basically change the format and terrain of a battlefield, in a closed off space like this, I'm limited to what I can do, but I can make it work, I could probably set some traps or something.

Y/N: Well then, show us.

Catastrophe pulls out a map and a pencil, and starts drawing something.

March: Why are you pulling out a map to draw? This is a fight!

Cat: I have to use a map to use as a catalyst for my ability, almost every special ability needs to have one, like Mr. Yang's cane, that is a sort of power bank for his ability.

Cat continues to draw, and when he finishes, both of the guards that were standing there, fell down into a pit into the ground.

Y/N: Strange, but i guess effective.

Cat: Also, don't worry, these traps will not work on us.

When we went to the prisoners, Cat noticed they were all IPC members, locked out from the outside world.

Cat: Look for the keys, I doubt they were on the guards themselves, it's either in here somewhere or a jailer has them.

After a while we weren't able to find anything, so we concluded there was a jailer.

Cat turns to the prisoners

Cat: Sit tight, we will get you out of there ASAP.

But before we were able to do anything, Cat got a call.

Cat: One sec

Cat goes to a different part of the room

Cat: Why are you calling me? I'm in the middle of an operation!... No, I can't head over there right now!... *sigh* I'll get there when I can.

March: Who was that?

Cat: Dumbass blonde, let's continue.

We continued exploring this dungeon, but we weren't able to find anything, or anyone.

Then we found a place where we saw a lot of things flown around, like papers, and supplies.

All of the crates that have supplies with them were seemingly of IPC origin.

The papers were also of IPC origin, but there was always one constant with them, the signature permitting the supplies' transport, the signature was "TM". At least we got some kind of intel.

Cat: Errr... let's get this to command, but first we have to free the prisoners.

We explored more until we found the last room we could find, the jailer must be in there.

Cat: Come on, let's go.

He opened the door and went inside, man this is feeling like a Dark Souls boss.

We went inside to be met with a huge room with many grunts and one big burly dude, he's probably the jailer.

Jailer: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen! I'm so happy to see you! Especially you, Catastrophe. Now as a test, could you show me how you fair up with my friends here?

He says this very enthusiastically, then, he sends out 6 of his grunts to fight us.

March: Couldn't you just fight us ourselves? Coward!

Jailer: Oh don't worry that will most likely come, but first I want to have fun! So let this be our intermission before our reception.

Y/N: Could you at least tell me your name?

Jailer: OH! How rude of me, I haven't introduced myself, my name is Abraham! I am a seeker of all that is elation, and to someday meet THEIR gaze.

Dan Heng: So another follower of Aha then, hmm? Man these people are annoying.

Y/N: I'm getting Sparkle flashbacks...
