"Oi! What was – woah." Hachiman glares at Sirin before blinking as he turns to look at his surroundings, "Where are we?" He sees a black and purple surrounding that gives off a dark yet royal vibe while spears of all kinds are hung from the walls at the far back and multiple counters at the center of the room.
She lets go of him before smirking, "Welcome to my workshop. The place where I make all kinds of spears and some other stuff." Her smirk falls off to make way for her glare, "Now tell me how to save Bella?"
He scratches his head, "So I need to stab the dragon's flesh for me to get into her mind then let the spirit, really what is your name? Do the work."
Sirin raises an eyebrow before widening her eyes, "…You want to go into her mind."
Hachiman wryly smiles and shrug, "I need to hit the flesh part for –"
"No." She glares at him while raising her hand, palm facing him, "Too dangerous. I won't endanger my little sister's boyfriend," She bluntly says, prompting his cheeks to redden a bit and face twitch.
"…Even at the cost of Bella?"
She instantly appears right in front of him then grabs his collar to lift him up, "Shut up." She venomously seethes as she puts enough force to cut off his air.
"You've seen my memories. You know how important Benares is to me, same with my mother… Even if you are Kiana's boyfriend, don't you dare even imply that I would sacrifice her for you."
He repeatedly taps on her arm to let go while trying to smirk, "Is-isn't it-it a bit –" He coughs as his face slowly turns blue, prompting her to let go of him and letting him drop on the floor.
He greedily breaths in and out before smirking at her, "Aren't you being a hypocrite? You won't endanger me even though I can possibly save her and here you are, threatening me because I said the one thing that you don't want to admit." He slowly gets up, not caring about the enraged Sirin that is one step away from grabbing a spear and stabbing him with it
"Isn't that right?"
Repeatedly stabbing.
"Watch your words, insolent jester," She venomously hisses at him with her hand balled up.
Hachiman flinches, his smirk falling off with indecisiveness replacing it, before the smirk is back, "You're right, I saw your memories, albeit only a few but it gave me enough to know the person you are." His eyes gain a glint in them, prompting her to involuntarily take a step back.
"A child that was turned into a rage and grief driven psychopathic person that wanted to kill everybody. Someone that enjoyed murdering her captors then innocents –"
"Stop…" She shuts her eyes while her body shakes.
"- was manipulated and used after everything was done –"
"Stop." She opens her eyes to glare at him.
"- burned down countless villages –"
"STOP!"
Sirin shouts before grabbing him by the throat then lifts him up, "What do you hope to gain by repeating my sins…?" She hisses out with her eyes glistening a bit.
Hachiman loses his smirk but forcefully looks down to meet her eyes, "A-and som-one who fo-und a family," He croaks out prompting her to freeze while letting go of him.
He unsteadily lands on his feet, almost falling down but manages to steady himself, "Someone who came to regret her actions and tries to atone for it by helping people. All because a mother gave her the one thing she craved more than revenge and destruction."
She rapidly shakes her head, "…I only regret it after seeing mother grieving over people's death. It took too long for me to realize that… Along with countless talks with her ever since I was twelve."
He blinks, "…How old are you?" He asks, prompting her to sigh while looking at him like an idiot then answers.
"…Twenty-five."
Hachiman blinks, then opens his mouth but closes it, "…Does the Honkai energy stop your growth?" He carefully asks while taking a step back.
Sirin glares at him while raising her hand to give him the middle finger, "It only slows my growth. I look like a teenager but I am still old enough."
He raises his hands in a surrender gesture, "Ok, ok. Now back to Bella, I mean Benares."
She facepalms then groans, "Fine… Oh fine, you win… I guess I can force her into here then –"
"Erm, why not open a portal to an open wound from here and let me stab her with my sword?"
She blinks before taking a long deep breath, "That works." She then blinks again, "Wait all those Valkyries are nearby her… Yeah we'll go with my original plan."
Sirin holds his shoulder then the surroundings change into the purple scenery while they are standing on top of a huge floating flat surface rock, "Wait here while I go grab her."
Before Hachiman could say anything, she is already gone, prompting him sigh, "…Fuck."
"Concentrate all power in the middle of the dragon's top body!" Himeko yells as she grits her teeth while using her great sword to block Benares, who is sporting numerous wounds all over her body, some of which are leaking blue-white liquid, from biting her.
The surrounding buildings, with a lot of bodies everywhere, in a 5 kilometer radius have become rubble due to the fighting between Valkyries and Benares, though it comes dangerously close to the tall building housing numerous civilians.
Himeko kicks Benares's head then flies away while the dragon is reeling from the kick. The remaining range Valkyries that can still fight, though there is an obvious big difference compared to the beginning of the battle, scream as they pour their attack into Benares, kicking up a huge dust cloud.
"Cease fire!" Himeko shouts, prompting all of the Valkyries to stop, "Wait for the dust to go away. If the dragon even so much as twitch, continue to bombard it."
It takes a while for the dust cloud to dissipate and when it finally clears, what should have been a dead dragon with its body blown up due to the firepower unleashed on its weakened state, is a very alive Benares with a pale pink dome covering it.
Himeko narrows her eyes as she sees the one responsible, who is standing right in front of the dragon, "Herrscher of Void," She grinds out.
Sirin puts a hand on top of Benares head and slowly caresses it, "Don't worry, you'll be ok soon…" She sighs then looks around to see a lot of Valkyries flying in the air, though she spots Himeko flying right in front of her while Fu Hua stands directly under her.
Sirin meets the gaze of Himeko and Fu Hua before snapping her finger to materialize a void under Benares. She looks behind to see her gone then quickly enters the void, just in time as multiple beams hit where she was standing.
