The Story of Raiden

Yoimiya woke up next morning, ready to hear the rest of Raiden's story. "That was a lot to take in, I didn't know you had a twin, whatever happened to her?" she asked. Raiden took a deep breath and continued on with the story. "A good 200 years or so later, me and Baal were some of the strongest of all of Teyvat, Murata traveled around and found new elements, and decided to give them names, Dendros dealt with grass, Hydros dealt with water, Geos dealt with the Earth, and so on" "We three made a compromise to have a base at Inzuma since people from everywhere were saying they wanted to join, so me and Baal spent a good few years building it, and the result came out glorious" "Everything was going as usual until a young girl came to the base, she had a blue hat with baby blue hair, wore all blue with embedded jewelry on her, and wore shorts that went above the knee, and that girl's name was Furina de Fontaine" Yoimiya's eyes nearly popped out of her sockets. "You mean to tell me that-" "Yes, she was the same Furina that you'd dealt with before coming here, she existed longer than you think, how else did you expect her to be a demon?" said Raiden. "I've heard from locals that she has draconic blood inside of her, and on some occasions, they would see her sprout wings and a tail" Raiden added. "I didn't know she existed for that long, what did she do" asked Yoimiya gravely. "She came in and politely asked if she could train in order to become the new Archon of Hydro since the previous one died" "Murata just laughed saying, "You can't just walk in and say that you wanted to be the next Archon, it takes years, even decades to achieve it, but we'll see how you'll do" "I was actually quite sympathetic for Furina, I came over and made a compromise" "Listen, Furina, let's swap jobs, you can craft something out of these materials, meanwhile I'll go deliver this milk, is that fine with you?" "Oh well, thank you" she said" "Now at this point, I don't know exactly what happened to Furina, but I've heard from some of the locals that Murata came and scolded Furina for swapping jobs with me, then she told her to go home" "Furina had enough with Murata's rude attitude, so she went back to Fontaine and told 3 of her friends about a plan that she devised" "She told them that when Murata comes back to the base at 6, her friends would take their weapons and kill her" said Raiden as her voice was getting deeper. "I just got done with my job when I came back, I saw Furina's friends near a bush with their weapons" Raiden almost broke down in tears. "When Baal came out the door, one stabbed her through the chest, instantly killing her" "They didn't know that they got the wrong person, they just wanted to tell Furina that they did the job" "I picked up Baal's cold, lifeless body and sat there, looking like a Pieta" Raiden tried to hold back her tears. Yoimiya came and gave her a hug. "I'm so sorry that had to happen to you, Raiden, you and Baal were very close, and just to be taken away in a instant, that's something that you could never forget" "Thank you, Yoimiya, everytime I tell this story, I tend to get emotional, but I need to tell you the rest" Yoimiya gave Raiden some tissues to wipe away her tears. "When Furina came back, I instantly approached her" "You think that you can kill my sister in cold blood and get away, hell no, meet me at Fontaine, we're having our duel tomorrow night, and it's only be us two, got it?" I said furiously" "So, who cares about your sister, you're always putting yourself first before her, so yeah, see you there too, bitch" "Then she teleported, my eyes couldn't believe what I saw" "That goddamn Furina, she's nothing more than a dark cold-hearted demon, please tell me that you won the fight, Raiden" said Yoimiya while being irritated. "Well before the fight, there was one thing I did, and it's very important" "And what may that be?" asked the Pyro. "Ever since I heard what Furina said, I made a lifesize puppet of Baal called the Shogun, I didn't know what to do, until I read a book about how to transport souls into bodies and controlling more than one body" "So when I took Baal's body and transported her soul into the puppet, nothing changed except for the eyes, the eyes became realistic, so I knew that she was still hanging on" Yoimiya wasn't understanding what Raiden was talking about. "So I took the risk, I said the chant, and transfered my consciousness into the puppet, thus officially coming the Raiden Shogun!" Yoimiya's jaw dropped, she was speechless. "I know, I don't venture out into that kind of territory anymore, but the important thing is that she's still in here with me" Raiden said tenderly as she was putting her hand on her chest where her heart is. "But when it was time to fight Furina, she looked confused, but I told her what I did, she just chuckled sarcastically" "Oh please, Fusions are only a cheap tactic to make weaklings like you seem stronger than you actually are" "I chuckled too" "See, now that's where you're wrong, we are Raiden, now together, and we're never going down in the hands of the likes of you because we're so better, and every part of us is saying go get her, the two of us ain't gonna follow your rules, come at us without of your fancy tools, let's go, just you and us, let's go, just one on two" "Furina pulled out her sword, and I pulled out mine, and off we went" "We were going at it, Furina's a good blocker, pity about her stance though, so I kicked her in between her legs, and I think she blushed a little" Raiden added. Yoimiya had a look of disgust on her face. "Furina then created a hand out of water and punched me into the ground, however I've recently learned how to block attacks like that" "Then I had a plan of my own, I set up four magnets on the back wall, so when I hit Furina with my electric attacks,she could never move, it worked successfully, and then I pulled my final attack, Elemental Burst, and completely irradicated her, or at least I thought" Raiden remarked. "Yeah, but damn Raiden, you're a badass, so what happened next?" "Well, I layed dormant for a while until Murata asked me if I wanted to be the Archon of Electro, I agreed gracefully, though I did have a word with her about Furina, she apologized for her behavior, and well it was like that until the 21st century when somebody made a news broadcast about me, I revealed that the Raiden Shogun was Baal and Ei together, and the rest is history, and that is the complete story, my child" she said while breathing heavily. "Raiden, that was a great backstory, man no wonder everyone loves you, as much as I would love to chat, I think I should head back home with the others" said Yoimiya. "Well, until we meet again, young Pyro, burn bright for me" "You know I will!" Yoimiya said before going back home.
