Hachiman looks around the room, then mutters with raised eyebrows, "Huh, simple place." He shakes his head then materializes his sword, "So, what's the plan?"
The man points to the nearest chain link with his sword, "The chains need to be severed… Six in this case… And prepare yourself since an alarm will be triggered if one of them is severed, materializing the Guardian that the Will made to fend off me and your uncle. Unfortunately, we cannot cut the chains after the Guardian is here and we cannot sever more than one at the beginning."
Hachiman sighs, "…Fuck me."
"I didn't take you for a gay, Hachiman, and I –"
"Fuck off. I am not gay."
Hachiman raises his middle finger at the man, prompting him to lightly chuckle, "Very well… Are you prepared to dance with death?"
"Hell no. I am just a kid that got theoretical knowledge on how to do this shit and only got training for like a day."
The man sardonically smiles, "You are quite fortunate as your uncle had started with none." He disappears then reappears at the nearest chain link.
"Prepare yourself, O inheritor of "Mind Reaper" !"
He swings his sword down, severing the chain link, then reappears next to Hachiman. Second later, a loud screeching sound fills the room, almost sending the latter down to his knees due to the sudden and painful noise.
Then the noise ceases and a crack appears at the ceiling, right above the box. Slowly, golden claws appear out from the crack, then a long black limb that gives off a metallic shine connected to a large draconic body that has pink lines running all over it with its head similar to Benares.
The black dragon lets out a roar and releases black-pink lightning after emerging from the crack, some of which hits the box but it merely bounces off, then turns its attention to the 2 intruders while flying in the air by flapping its wings.
"Oh. The Will made a dragon this time."
"…I want out of this –"
The dragon dives at them, prompting the man to grab Hachiman and throws him to the right side then teleports himself away, just in time to avoid the dragon slash.
Hachiman quickly gets up with a grimace then he sees the man appear right beside him, "Plan?" He quickly asks as he sees the dragon looking around in search of them while loudly growling.
The man doesn't say anything but grabs him then quickly flies to the top of the box, "Stay here. You will be a liability if you help," He bluntly says at him before disappearing.
Hachiman scowls and clicks his tongue, "Fuck." He ducks to avoid a stray lightning that would have electrocuted his head then looks around in a prone position, "There has to be something I can do."
He notices a faint blue light coming from the center of the box, prompting him to slowly make his way over there while avoiding lightning and green laser-like projectiles. He sees a hole, big enough to fit a hand through, emitting the light and he can vaguely hear shouting from within.
He peeks into the small hole, only to see a female with thigh-length light blue hair, wearing a white crop top that completely covers her breast and a small white coat that only partially covers her back and extends beyond her back legs, black gloves that got diamond color at the tips, very short pants that covers her private parts but vaguely shows off the shape, and black and white garter belts and stockings, pounding at the wall of the inner box.
"I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS HONKAI WILL! YOU HEAR ME?! SO YOU BETTER LET ME OUT SO THAT I CAN DO IT!"
Hachiman sweatdrops as he hears the female shouting, "…Why am I doing this?" He shakes his head, "Right. Sirin."
He sighs then shouts into the hole, "Oi! Look up if you can hear me!"
It takes a few more shouts but the female stops pounding to look up, "Who's there?!" She cautiously looks around the ceiling with her hands raised defensively.
"Just somebody that is trying to get you out of here! And Sirin is waiting for you outside!"
She blinks after hearing his voice then narrows her eyes while her pupil turns into slits, "How dare a fish like you utter my Queen's name."
Hachiman freezes as he feels a suffocating aura surrounding him that slowly crushes him, "W-wait! I-I can g-et you o-out!"
"And why should I trust a fish's words?" She venomously/icily says, though the suffocating aura lessens just a bit, enough for him to not suffocate to death and talk, which he takes full advantage of.
"S-Sirin Kaslana, twenty-five, was one of the test subjects of the Babylon Laboratory when she was twelve but escaped and murdered all of the scientist but she was the only survivor while Avrora, Agata, Bella died. She started the Second Houkai War with you but the damage was contained to mostly Russia then Cecilia convinced her to become her daughter before the nuke fell on them and she teleported both of them out!"
The female slowly drops her arms as she hears the rapid words he spewed out, "…Alright. You managed to buy your life. But if I find out that you hurt my Queen then you will be begging for death, fish."
He feels the aura disappearing, prompting him to breathe a sigh of relief before he flinches as he sees the black dragon slamming into the ceiling.
The black dragon shakes its head before lunging down with a roar that makes him shiver.
The female grimaces, "That piece of shit of fake is back huh." She raises her right hand then a small orb forms at the tip of her fingers, "Oi, fish. Catch." She tosses the orb at him, though it hits the wall, which explodes into a blue-white smoke, some of which escapes through the hole.
He blinks as he feels nothing from the explosion, though he grimaces, while she clicks her tongue, "Damn." She prepares another orb then takes her time to aim properly for the hole, "This time catch!"
"You fucking crazy –" Hachiman curses before he sees the orb zooming right at him, prompting him to stand up then unconsciously puts his hand in front of him to protect himself, though the orb merely lands in his right hand.
"That orb is enough to kill or at least severely weaken that fake! Just throw it at it when you get the chance!"
"Oi! I could have died just now!"
"Shut up and do your job, fish."
He grumbles out more curses while giving a quick glare at her before turning his attention to look around. He goes into a laying position then slowly crawls over to the edge of the box. Then the black dragon suddenly appears with the man in its claws and slams him into the ceiling.
Hachiman quickly gets up then prepares to throw the orb at the black dragon, "This is for the trolling," He mutters before throwing the orb.
The black dragon growls as it brings its face close to the man, though a slight whizzing sound fills the air, prompting it to look and see a blue-white orb coming right at his body.
Both the black dragon and the man are engulfed in the smoke, then something big falls down through the smoke. The latter appears right beside Hachiman, which causes him to flinch at the suddenness.
"Well, good assist, Hachiman. Now, let me go check if it's alive or not." The man shakes his head with a tired sigh then disappears.

A/N
Nothing to say. Anyway on to the comments!
98kazer - welp, all I can say is should be soon since this whole Chiba one wasn't in the plan this early
DrackNath - yep (though I have a feeling that I will forget) and yep, spirit is a troll. And lol now that is a fun imagination
Parsee Jelly - well not exactly since I am using the plot as a guideline rn as this fic is AU. And Kiana's parents succeeded in keeping her from the Honkai side so she grew up... Relatively ok for a while and if you know what kind of power Otto got that can mess with the memory... Oh, it's because of the Honkai amplifying her emotions. And yeah, I don't really like it when characters withhold information without any reason. Also lmao
