West Pacific
"So, we got some signals here?" (KC)Saratoga said as she prepares to launch scouting planes.
"If it is Abyssal,,, please be advise not to get closer to their range,,, its dangerous!" (KC)Gambier Bay speaks nervously as she keep monitoring the wide ocean.
"Heh, if they get spotted, I feel bad for them to get whooped by my guns" (KC)Iowa grins as she follows the fleet.
"But the signal isn't like the Abyssal has, it's different" (KC)Houston speak with uncomfortable tone.
"We can't let our guard down just yet" (KC)Fletcher speaks as she keen her gaze in front of her.
"So much trouble coming since that Space rift appeared, our admiral is starting to become erratic that he start to set up some meeting for the other admirals around the globe" (KC)Intrepid speaks as she too launches some scouting planes.
"But as to say, a wise move, expected of our admiral" (KC)Atlanta praised as she remain vigilant.
"Things get awful sometimes right, (KC)Colorado?" (KC)Johnston speak as she tried to follow and pace up to (KC)Fletcher speed.
"I'll give it a pass, but here we are, waiting for incoming violence" (KC)Colorado replied and ended with a smile.
"My recon plane get the visuals,,, what the hell?" (KC)Gambier Bay alarms her fleet members.
"What is it? A group of Abyssals? Game! I've been waiting for this!" (KC)Iowa ask as she become hyped all of the sudden.
"I spotted it too, bloody hell? What a mess!" (KC)Intrepid shocked on what her reconnaissance plane discover.
"I think, I will not ask about it" (KC)Houston speak as she manage to read the mood of her fleet members.
Few minutes pass, they reach the point of destination where (KC)Gambier Bay and (KC)Intrepid discovered, they cannot believe in what they witnessed, it was a strong abyssal nest based on the area range and flow of dark energy residue, they expected a huge fleet of abyssals but no, it wasn't, this whole based was wrecked by an all out scale of attack, it was a massacre to be précised speaking.
"Welcome, welcome oh wonderful heroes of this world, te-hehehe~" A voice from the mist appeared, every Kantai Fleet of US Navy become alert.
"Who are you? Show yourselves! Tell me what on earth is happening here?" (KC)Iowa ask and roar as her guns pointed to the wide spread mist.
"Oh no, no, not be so violent here, you are ruining the welcome~" A lady appeared white pale skin and golden eyes appeared, her hair is colored of lilac, she is wearing a sailor suit on top with yellow tie, very tight black shorts of sort, mechanized footwear and black gloves.
"I am (AL)Purifier, just having fun taking on some experimental activities and killing bad meanies!" (AL)Purifier answered and from her back, a fleet of siren ship appeared and shocks everyone.
"The hell?" (KC)Colorado tilted her head as she saw fleet of warships that popping out from fiction novels of futuristic warfares.
"You kill the abyssals with that fleet?" (KC)Atlanta asks as she notices the numerous corpses of abyssals starting to sink deep to the waters.
"Yup, yup~ just doing what (AL)Tester task me to do anyways-" (AL)Purifier answered cheerfully and about to added something when a bunch of salvos flying towards her siren ship and destroys a few of them.
"SIIRREEENNN!" a voice roar with pure rage and hatred from afar as a bunch of Warplanes appeared the war planes seems familiar to the eyes of Kantai Fleet.
The fighters, dive bombers and torpedo bombers dropped their bombs on Siren ships and giving a massive blow, (AL)Purifier just blankly smiled as the new comer appeared nearby to the Kantai Fleet.
"Oh, oh, by the way, meet your new friends coming, also lets have some warm up for yah, now then my cue is over,, see yah~" (AL)Purifier said in childish manner as she ordered the siren ships to fire at the Kantai Fleet as she remembers the schedule of hers, the portal appeared nearby to her and she just entered it.
"Come back here!" The lady in white appeared, as her riggings and bow become visible, she has the pale ash colored hair and lilac eyes, wearing a sailor captain cap and uniform consist of white tops and skirt and also she wears a long black coat, stockings and black high heels.
"Darn it, she escaped again!" another voice of the newcomer appeared behind the furious newcomer Kantai.
"Forget it (AL)Colorado, we don't have much time" The lady in white speaks again as she stood above these raging waters.
"(AL)Enterprise, you are really reckless, please refrain moving to the vanguard position" (AL)Colorado appeared, it shocks the Kantai fleet because of her appearance.
"Abyssals! What the f***!" (KC)Iowa jerked out as her main guns pointed to (AL)Colorado, mistaken her for an Abyssals.
"Oh wait, hey, stop it!" (KC)Colorado stopped (KC)Iowa as she about to fire her guns at (AL)Colorado who somehow looks like an abyssal to her.
"Who are you people; tell me who is that Purifier and these ships?" (KC)Houston asks as she dodges the shells coming from the siren ships.
"Ask later, time for an action!" (AL)West Virginia appeared as she push (KC)Atlanta away from her position in a flash and take head on the siren shells coming to get (KC)Atlanta, results to a massive water explosion, but (AL)West Virginia takes a minimal damage to her rigging.
"I,,, I'm sorry" (KC)Atlanta apologies for her negligence of incoming fire, (AL)West Virginia just help her to get up on her feet and smiled at her.
"Ah finally, I'm going to enjoy mopping you all up~" (AL)Deutschland appeared as she fire her guns and spins it with styled and her turrets fire along.
"Wait for me big sister! In the name of all that is dear to me! Your going down!" (AL)Admiral Graf Spee appeared and swung her deadly claws and destroys the front of the nearest siren ship in front of her.
"Eek! What kind of rigging is that?" (KC)Johnston suddenly scared as she witness the huge claws of the newcomer.
"OWARI DA!" (AL)Enterprise roars as she launches a massive assault of fighter, torpedo and dive bomber alike warplanes direct to the siren ships.
"Allow me to join, if you will" (KC)Saratoga said as her warplanes tailing (AL)Enterprise warplanes.
"Wait for me!" (KC)Intrepid joins and follows the two swarming squadron of planes.
Three last Battleship type Siren standing is about to launch a full salvo at (KC)Gambier Bay as they finally finish reloading their main guns when a swarm of torpedo barrage are coming so fast at their direction, with a huge splash of explosion, the three Siren battleship intake a very massive damage and start to sink due to damage beyond repair.
Everyone in Kantai Fleet was alert for that, as the three last warship of siren sink, a new figure emerged and become visible in their eyes, she has twin tail set of fine white hair, pair of cat wolf ears, a set of black ribbons decorated around her hair, she has a red colored eyes, small stature with a set of destroyer like riggings, she wears white and black sailor tops with red ribbon and exposed abdomen, she wears black skirt and white stockings and black shoes.
"Losers should hurry up and scram! Wa ha ha!" she delightfully laugh as she seized her victory, leaving the rest of the fleet in both sides speechless.
She has the prideful demeanor as she appears at front of them, the gist in her face and thrill of her grin is quiet the attitude, she went closer to the group of newcomers, the battle falls, many siren ships falls, although there is no aircraft carrier abyssals, it is still not an easy fight for everyone though, but still they manage to gone through.
"Ok, your things seem similar to us, that rigging seems familiar, who are you?" (KC)Colorado ask (AL)Enterprise as she point (AL)Enterprise's rigging number.
"Eagle Union, Second Yorktown-class Aircraft Carrier-" (AL)Enterprise introduces herself as the white bald eagle landed at her right arm.
"ENTERPRISE!" The whole Kantai Fleet of US Navy said in synchronized as they knew the legendary "Grey Ghost" or "Big E" of WW2.
"Guess you are really famous even in here" (AL)Colorado speaks with a glint of smile at her face.
"What we expected elder sister, she is truly the most awarded ship of all times back then" (AL)West Virginia added as she pat her hands on (AL)Colorado's Shoulder.
"My, my, only a bunch of uneducated plebeians will not recognized her fame, ufufu~" (AL)Deutschland cut in as she stares at the Kantai Fleet.
"Back on main topic, who are you girls?" (KC)Houston asks as she inspect the new fleet.
"Members of Azur Lane, Third Fleet, come in this water for Siren Activity takedown and investigation" (AL)Graf Spee answer directedly without any hesitation.
"Siren? You mean these warships that we take down?" (KC)Iowa replied as she points the sinking Siren Ship.
"Yes, they originated from our world, due to the appearance of that space rift that serves as the portal connected to our worlds, the sirens use this first before us and seems they conducting some another fuss" (AL)Colorado explains as she look to the fallen base of the Abyssals.
"They seems making experiment and test of some said "Abyssals" you've spoken of, that's why we send here to stop them before things get worse" (AL)West Virginia added as she crossed her arms.
"As of now, this is not a good place to talk, any good location?" (AL)Enterprise asks, as she monitored the ruined surroundings.
""Your right, follow us on our Navy HQ and also expected the security check!" (KC)Iowa answered as she starts to lead the way and everyone follows.
Leaving the ruin massive Abyssal base and waiting for a takeover team to convert it into resources spot, the third fleet of Azur Lane follows the Kantai fleet of US, an hour pass after a long travel distance in the waters, they finally reach the first line base on US Naval HQ, the sailors and navy officers welcome the Kantai Fleet, the Kantai Fleet explain to the Naval Officers on what they discover from the distress call on the said Abyssal Base.
Information by information was detailed on their report and also the Kantai Fleet introduces the Azur Lane fleet and their origins, which surprised and suspected by the workers there, heck a fleet suddenly appeared out of nowhere and no data or information about their existence, but mostly eye catching information about them is where came from, the space rift, one dangerous area which no Kantai Fleet will go for a suicide mission without accomplishing anything.
The visit of the third fleet of Azur Lane got the attention of higher ups and even the Naval HQ of US send some high ranking officers to investigate their origins and interrogate their cause, at first, it was a long talk and become more heated when they introduces themselves, but the Azur Lane fleet manage to convince the high ranking officers when they took off their riggings and the riggings turn back into a huge WW2 ships, this shocks the whole navy fleet.
The power of Wisdom Cubes, Azur Lane fleet explains it, from the building and construction of WW2 era ships to the bringing of life and human flesh conversion of the said Warships, they explain their reasons of being here in the world of Kantai and ploy developing of the sirens which become additional trouble to the world HQ of this world, start to believe the good will of Azur Lane, and even request an audience with the higher ups of Azur Lane to join them in the meeting of every Navy Admiral to discuss a wild scale attack on every Abyssal Base and other counter measures to be implement.
The talks came a bit longer than an usual meeting, the Navy Officers of the US HQ was quiet satisfied on the public information they get, the rest of Azur Lane fleet rest in some distinctive building and waiting for any orders from their HQ, meanwhile, the Azur Lane Manjuu crew arrives and welcome by the US Navy HQ and lead them to the six floating and in active service ship at the Port, these crew start to make a ship maintenance, check up and cleaning.
(AL)Enterprise decide to take a walk in the port side, garner the eyes of the passing navy crew and officer, some of them are waving hi at her and she just waived back as a response, as her white bald eagle land on her shoulder, on her walk, she meet also the other US Kantais on the way and some of them stuttered upon meeting her, the vibe of greatness and fame of entitled "Grey Ghost" and "Big E" are truly carved into their minds as they meet (AL)Enterprise, they feel being intimidated by her glorious appearance as if they want to step aside from her way.
(AL)Enterprise find it strange at the same time, she already use to live in open way of conversation back to her world, they way the USN Kantais treat her seems uncomfortable, but she already knows the burden and weight of the name of one being the most decorated ship of all time, she just greet them with sincerity in order to close the gap of Naval Society standing.
Back on the residential house that the Kansens living in provided by the USN, (AL)Colorado receives a new order, a collaboration plan with the USN witch the high ranking officers of the USN wants to request to the Naval HQ of the Azur Lane to answers, (AL) Colorado heed to the USN HQ and report the answer of the Azur Lane HQ, which gives joy to the officers present there, which means the Commander of Azur Lane will be willing to have a joint alliance with the World Navy of this world.
"Commander knew if we won't move fast, the problems that Siren might implied in this world will be deadly serious" (AL)Colorado speak to her sister with deep concern.
"That's right, Sirens are more dangerous than Abyssals, if we don't manage to take them down fast and the experimentation continues, this whole place turn into bloody mess" (AL)West Virginia replied as she too were totally concern for the Siren's involvement.
"But we can't let our guard down, even the Kantai Fleet combine by the USN won't stood to the weaponry experimentation of the sirens, we must remain sharp" (AL)Graf Spee added as she flips the files of the useful information about the Abyssals given by (KC)Iowa when she meet her before going home.
"Hehe~ its only the beginning of fun, I want to see more of their Kantai capabilities and compare with our Kansen fleet to see who is been lagging on the fight~" (AL)Deutschland cut in to the talks as she takes a sip of her Coolant.
"Hnmp, they won't outshine (AL)Yukikaze the great in terms of battle, Wa ha ha! I'll gonna show them who is the luckiest ship ever lived on this foreign seas!" (AL)Yukikaze boast as she made a proud stance.
But everyone ignore her delusional ranting and return into the serious talks, making (AL)Yukiakze became furious and angry, because of this, they just let her do her what she pleases and continue the talks and the secret plan that they never revealed to the everyone except for the other Azur Lane fleet, they must move now or else its gonna be too late for them to stop the Siren activities if they let the Sirens do their things on this world.
