Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie and Luna were sent flying in the blue sky, screaming in panic as they did. After a while, they then started falling down, only to land on the back of Stormterror.
The creature turned to see what had landed on his back, and glared at the four. « Oh shit. » was all Blitzo said, as the dragon started to roll in the air, the former and his companions barely holding on, screaming in terror.
But after a while, the group decided to move on the offensive. Blitzo was the first to act, shooting at the head of the dragon several times. Moxxie then pulled out a Thompson gun and also begun to fire, while in the meantime Millie and Loona bit and slashed the beast body. But despite their best efforts, Stormterror barely had a scratch.
« Damn it, the guy has a good head! » Blitzo cursed.
« Sir! Not now! » Moxxie exclaimed exasperated. He then looked at the dragon once more. « Guys! I have an idea! Attack the wings, the big ones! »
« This better fucking work, Moxxie! » Loona exclaimed.
« Does anybody have a better idea!? » Moxxie shot back.
« Does a five-way count as an idea? » Blitzo asked.
« It's a fucking dragon! » Moxxie shouted back disgusted.
« And I fuck an owl! Trust me, I can make it work! » Blitzo shot back.
« Not now, old man! » Loona exclaimed, as she lunged towards one of the wings, tearing and ripping the membranes with her jaws.
Millie attacked the adjacent wing with her knife, causing superficial, but painful injuries. She then pulled out a large axe and started to slither and slash all over the wing.
Moxxie did not take a close approach at the target, using his Thompson gun to fire several holes in the membrane, before throwing a grenade and doing even more damage.
But none went as hard as Blitzo, climbing up and down the wing, slashing with a knife while also firing with his gun, biting and clawing at the same time.
Stormterror roared in pain, as the IMPs continued to do as much damage as possible on the wings. And as Moxxie planned, the dragon started to lose altitude, falling towards the town.
« Holy fucking shit Moxxie! For once in your fucking life, you made the right call! » Blitzo exclaimed, before laughing like a madman as they descended at high speed.
The mighty dragon collapsed on the ground, devastating a large portion of the city. Rubble and smoke arose in the air, before the mighty beast rose once more, roaring in the air. With a quick movement of its wings, it rose in the air once more.
Amber, alongside a man, ran as fast as possible at the destroyed area. They inspected the area for any injured, before noticing the IMPs, flat on the ground and slightly covered in debris.
« Guys! Are you hurt? » Amber asked concerned, as she removed the small debris off of them.
« I can't feel my left arm and I'm pretty sure my femur has turned into a maze of fractures. Other than that, I think I'm good. » Moxxie responded still flat on the ground.
« I can't feel my dick! » Blitzo then said exhausted.
The four finally managed to get up, before noticing the man alongside Amber.
« You've actually got the power to go against the dragon…. » he said, gaining suspicious looks from the IMPs, «Are you new allies….or a new storm- »
But before he could finish the sentence, Blitzo grabbed him by the collar, a deranged and tired look on his face. « Listen up, ya dark skinned purple flaming dildo FUCK! We just got up and close with a FUCKING DRAGON, and we need five FUCKING MINUTES! You can start calling us the fucking hurricane of the century AFTER we recovered from our time with that thing! »
« Also at least tell us your name dude. » Loona added annoyed.
« I do suppose it's only right. My name is Kayeda, Cavalry Captain of the Knights of Favonius. And you are? » the man, Kayeda, introduced himself.
« Immediate Murder Professionals, I.M.P in short. Look, we had a pretty rough day, so can you please just fuck off for a second? » Blitzo said exasperated.
« "Immediate Murder Professionals" huh? Weapons for hire I suppose. Perhaps the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius could be very well interested in your abilities.» Kayeda proposed.
« Look, maybe next time. Also, before you ask, no. We ain't interested in becoming knights. Don't invite us to your shit unless someone more reasonable is going to die. » Blitzo shot back.
Before Amber could respond in shock at the refusal of the group to help, Kayeda spoke first. « We can pay you well. »
« Pay us what? » Blitzo asked annoyed.
« ….Money? »
« DONE! » Blitzo exclaimed as he shook Kayeda's hand hard.
A few seconds of silence followed. « Follow me to the headquarters. » Kayeda said.
« Got it daddy! »
« What? »
« What? »

After a short walk, the group reached the Favonius headquarters, and once inside, they were greeted by two women.
« Jean, I've brought there- » Kayeda said, before Blitzo jumped on his back.
« HOLY MAMA, hellooooooooooooooooooooooooo ladies! » he exclaimed at the sight of the two women.
Both stood there in silence at the sight. One of them, a blonde woman with blue eyes, was the first to talk. « Ignoring what you just said…..Mondstadt welcomes you, imps. »
« Whatever, not like we're gonna stay here for long. The place is going to turn into rubble any time soon. » Loona said annoyed.
« So who is in charge here? » Moxxie asked, trying to defuse any confrontations.
« That would be me. I am Jean, Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius. » the woman, Jean, introduced herself, before pointing at the other woman. « This is Lisa, our resident Librarian. »
« Oh, are you here to help us, sweeties? » Lisa asked in a lovely tone.
« In more than one way, sweet tits! » Blitzo tried to flirt with the woman.
« Just….don't listen to our boss. He's as lustful as a rabbit in heat. » Moxxie said annoyed, getting between the two.
« I see….i wouldn't mind, but time is not on our side. Stormterror has caused quite a ruckus in the region since its resurgence. Simply put, Mondstadt's elemental sphere and ley lines are now akin to a yarn ball in the paws of a kitten. For a mage, it couldn't get much worse. My skin is one elemental particle away from a full-blown breakdown. » Lisa explained.
«Oh, crumbs! I knew today would be a lot! What do you need? » Moxie said, as he fished around in a fanny pack and threw out several pill bottles and needles as he listed off his inventory. « Anti-acids? Ibuprofen? Morphine? »
« Aw, you're adorable. Don't worry, darling, it was more on the figurative side. » Lisa laughed.
« Oh, right. » Moxxie chuckled sheepishly as he discarded the needles out of the nearby window.
« Anyway, if it weren't for this interference, the Knights of Favonius would have better ways to deal with this conundrum » Jean then said.
« Just give us money, and we'll deal with your problems! » Blitzo exclaimed.
Jean sighed disgusted at the proposal. « Urgh, mercenaries. But these are desperate times. But yes, you'll get your reward. With Stormterror now directly attacking Mondstadt, I'm gonna need you to cut the problem at the source. Lisa has revealed the sources of Stormterror's power with her detection magic. »
« So, where do we need to go? » Moxxie asked.
« They're located in the abandoned Four Winds Temples. Stormterror's ability to whip up these kinds of storms can be attributed to it drawing power from the temples. » Lisa explained.
« Your task is to deal with three of the four temples. » Jean then said.
« Why three? » Blitzo asked confused.
« There is no time to explain. IMPs, bring Amber along. That way you'll know where you're headed. » Jean responded.
« You sure? Pretty sure you'll need all the help you can get to defeat that Lo Lo Land Dinosaur rip-off. » Loona commented.
« Don't worry. We have a powerful ally that should be able to give you time whilst you deal with the temples. » Jean explained.
« Oh, don't you worry, darling. We'll get this temple thing sorted out before you can say threesome! » Blitzo exclaimed.
« Go. » Jean said annoyed, much to Lisa's amusement.
The mage then turned towards Blitzo. « Come with me later. » she whispered.
Blitzo smirked and blinked, before being dragged by Moxxie.
« Oh, for fuck sake, we just got here! »
