Hey. George here. New chapter. Hope y'all enjoy
Halo and Azur Lane doesn't belong to me
"So, there was 2 ships. And one that had Siren characteristics? " Nagato said slightly.
"Yes. But he fight like anything I have faced before... He had ferocity, agility, courage..." Bismarck pondered about this 'ship-boy' so much that she got lost on her thoughts. Until someone make her snap out of it uncomfortably.
"Iku Bismarck-Sama. You sound like if you like him." Akagi said with a tone that showed amusement and curiosity. Making Bismarck blush a bit "Is not like that... I haven't faced someone like him before... I'm still surprised by that show of ability on combat." Bismarck replied promptly. Being embarrassed was something that Bismarck didn't like. But for her sister Tirpitz was something with double result. Seeing her sister like this, just for a fight with an unknown type of Siren ship. A supposed ship-boy. It was strange as interesting.
"Nee-Sama. You shouldn't be rude with Bismarck-Sama. She still can be in shock for what she'd seen." Kaga said trying to end the topic about Bismarck's affairs.
"I didn't say it for that matter. I'm just curious about this supposed. Ship-boy~"
Everyone in the room looked at Akagi with mixed expressions. Just God or the Devil knows what she's thinking about this ship-boy. One thing is for sure. If she got interested on him she would do the unimaginable to found him perhaps something more...
"If he is that skilled to beat a Kansen and almost beat another one. He is a threat to us." Nagato stated. If Azur Lane had this skilled warrior, it means bad news for the Sakura Empire and IronBlood.
"I agree with Nagato. He is too dangerous to be left as an asset for Azur Lane. We must destroy it." Tipitz said with determination in her voice. If he was that strong to beat Eugen and almost beat her sister in a 1v2 he was definitely a game changer on the war. One that has to be deal with, now that they have the upper hand upon Azur Lane.
"What if Azur Lane also want to destroy him. Seeing how dangerous he is." Graf Zeppellin said.
"That can happen. If they had an option. But, seeing how the tide of the war is right now. We cannot let the ship-boy alive. If Azur Lane convince him to fight for them. We risk to be annihilated. Also our attack on the Main base of Azur Lane is prepared to be launch. If we can take two targets with one shot is worth it." Nagato said, and almost sound as an order.
"Nagato is right. The ship-boy needs to die. So we can destroy Azur Lane. He can cause more trouble for us, that we have to get rid of him." Bismarck said in agreement with Nagato.
"Then is settled. We are going to attack the Main base of Azur Lane. And destroy the ship-boy in the process. But remember the main objective is destroy their base. The ship-boy will be deal after that. For that we are going to need firepower..." Nagato glanced at Bismarck. As if she were asking her telepathically for her assistance. To which Bismarck nodded.
Tipitz and Friedrich exchange looks. Bismarck just returned a few hours ago from a mission. And now she was going to join the Sakura task force to attack the Azur Lane's base.
"I think that ends our meeting. I wish you all good luck on the incoming operation." Nagato said bowing before leave to her room. Everyone else nodded and depart to their rooms...
The IronBlood girls walked for a few minutes. Graf Zeppellin leave the group to go and have time with Zeppy before the mission. She said her goodbyes and waved her friends. The rest keep walking until Tirpitz decided to break the silence...
"Sister. Are you sure about this? You just returned from a mission. And now you want to go to another one? I now you never fled from a fight. But I think this is too much." Tirpitz said to her sister as they walk towards their rooms. With Friedrich following them close behind.
"I know this is going to be difficult. But if we want to continue our campaign. Against Azur Lane, the ship-boy must die." Bismarck looked at Tirpitz as they kept walking "To make it possible I have to be there. I know our allies have good ships. But they cannot compare to an IronBlood. And more when this ship has already fought him." Bismarck turned forward trying to end the conversation there. But this wasn't what her sister wanted to hear.
"I think what Tirpitz is trying to say. Is that she's worried about you, my Child." Friedrich added. To which both girls turned to see her. "Is that true Tirpitz? You worry about me? You think I'm not strong enough to beat the ship-boy? " Bismarck take Friedrich comment as a blow to her pride.
"It wasn't what I mean Sister. I'm worried because I don't want you to die!" Tirpitz yelled the last part. making the three to stop in their tracks. A tear can be seen on her cheek. "Ti-rpitz. I'm sorry. I didn't know you worried that much. But fear not. I'm not gonna die. So have more faith in me." Bismarck said trying to reassure her sister.
"You say the same when you depart for your first mission. And you never returned." Tirpitz said, her voice was almost breaking and the tears started to flow.
"Sister. My first voyage. Was unfortunate. But now is different. I promise I will return." Bismarck smiled to make her sister's fear disappear. "I hope you're right. If not I'm gonna revive you just to scold you." Tirpitz said holding her sister in a warm hug."You always been like this. But i like this part of you. my little sister." Bismarck's words make her sister blush. Making the latter to brake the hug "You always make me like this Bisko." Tipitz said, flustered for the words of her sister.
"Mein gott. Isn't beautiful to see my grown childs like this." Friedrich said with a motherly smile. Making the Battleship sisters look at her to invite her on the hug "You are our family too. Even if you are a more recent ship than us. You are always going to be the best mom." Tipitz said closing her eyes as they all hug each other. Bismarck also flow with the moment...
In the distance two sisters watched the family moment of the three most powerful ships of IronBlood. Sighing for the scene one of the sisters turned to leave. Her sister following behind "Nee-Sama, are you sure of this attack? You heard the report from Bismarck-Sama. The ship-boy is dang- Kaga was cutoff from her comment as she heard her sister make a wierd sound as she mentioned the ship-boy. She approached her sister to see if she was alright. But she could only see the intense blush on her siste's face.
"Nee-Sama, Nee-Sama. Are you in pain or ill." Kaga put her hand on her sister's forehead. To see if she caught an illness. But everything seemed normal. She realize her sister was okay when she just stand up and kept walking forward. To which Kaga follow her "Isn't wonderful Kaga. A ship-boy. I can't wait to see him. Do you think he'll like me? Or maybe he will get lost at the sight of my tails." 'giggles, giggles'
Kaga looked at her sister with a serious face. Is her sister insane. The ship-boy is their target. She can't be serious. Right? "Nee-Sama, I think you have to rethink this. The ship-boy is our enemy. We must take him down. With those weaklings of Azur Lane." Kaga said, thinking she could make her sister change her mind. But she was lost on her thoughts. And for the movement of her tails she was thinking wierd things 'Akagi's things'.
" I know sister. He has to be surrendered to us. Then I'll interrogate him. In my room." 'giggle'
Kaga was about to nod. When she undestand what her sister mean. So she decided to play the volatile card. The card she played when she need her sister to focus "What if he is being interrogated by a Royal Navy girl..." At this words her sister stopped her walk. And her tails were still " What if the one interrogating him is Enterprise..." After saying this. Kaga run behind a flower pot that had a Sakura tree...
《"Kaga. What have you say?"^》Akagi's voice almost sounded like a demon one. As she turned to look for her sister. She saw Kaga behind a Sakura so she approached her with insane speed and cut the tree in half using one hand. Making Kaga fall on her butt as she watched Akagi with a horror expression "Nee-Sama. Is not me who you have to be mad at. Azur Lane has the ship-boy on their grasp. If you want him. We have to destroy Azur Lane first." Kaga didn't like to manipulate her sister like this. But it was necessary not for her. But for the Sakura Empire...not
Akagi's expression suddenly change and she closed her eyes. Seeing this Kaga released sigh. She know that her sister understand. She was about to stand up, but she felt something stroking her and lifting her on the air. It was Akagi's hand. And her eyes were pure red. Kaga's eyes widened and she tried to break free but her sister force were much for her "Don't think I don't know what are you trying to do Kaga. You want the ship-boy for yourself. Don't you?" Kaga blushed. But didn't respond. Her sister kept holding her on the air. Making the air leave her lungs slightly.
"If I have to kill everyone to get him. So be it. But don't think I'm not gonna do the same to you if you stay on my way." Akagi's words echoing her mind. She was about to pass out. But she wasn't going to let her sister have the last words "Is not that." Kaga said effortlessly "I said that because we need you focus on the mission ahead." Kaga was about to fall unconscious but she manage to say one last thing " I need you focus sister." With that said she closed her eyes waiting to pass out. But she felt how she crashed on the ground. And the air was returning to her...
"If that's what you wanted to say. You just had to say it Kaga-Nee." 'giggle'
Akagi said I'm her usual voice. Just like if nothing happened. She kept walking. While Kaga was struggling to stand up. ("Don't worry sister. I will say it next time.") Kaga thought before stand up and follow her sister. Maybe Akagi is the popular and the most famous of the two. But Kaga is not going to let her sister take all the credit and glory again. She is going to prove to the Sakura Empire, to her and her sister. That she can be as effective as her sister, even more. In the next attack...
Meanwhile on an Unknown Location...
《So... They have him?》Arbiter The Empress III said. Her voice calm but her expression was stoic.
《Yes my Empress. The Azur Lane girls have, Zenith in their hands. What should we do, my Empress?》
The Empress wasn't happy nor mad. She was now more calm. And remember why in first place she let the Zenith escape. She and her Sirens needed more challenge. But also they needed to understand how to break the spirit of humanity. Since the ship-girls gave them a boost morale. The Zenith should break their spirit. But given the current situation. The Zenith in control of the humans was nor good or bad. He didn't now how to use his full potential yet, and the ship-girls don't trust him already.
(All is going well. He has a long path ahead. I'm going to keep enjoying the view... For now... Let the hope fill their hearts, before crushing them all together. My Zenith will be necessary for that. He has to keep entertaining me with that extraordinary skill for combat. 'giggle') She let out a low moan as she keep thinking about Zenith.
(She keeps thinking on him, not as a experiment. But as something more. But what could that be?) Observer Zero thought. Before turning to see Observer Alpha entering the room "My Empress. I brought the information you asked for." Observer Alpha gave the Empress a holo-datapad. Te Empress smirked as she looked at the information...
Meanwhile on the Azur Lane base...
"So. You are telling me. That you all are warships anthropomorphized? Six asked skeptically, to Tennessee and California while he stood with effort.
Tennessee was about to say something but she saw how Prince of Wales and Illustrious approached them. "Is good to see you on your feet. My name is Prince of Wales and she is Illustrious. What's yours?" Wales said calmly. While she glanced at Six. But Six seemed still right were he stood. She just thought he might be thinking on his answer.
"I'm Sierra B-312. I apologize for my rudness... Huh..." Six didn't know what else to say. But also he didn't know if he can trust in this 'ship-girls' but he would give them the benefit of doubt.
Wales and Illustrious exchanged glances at this. From Tennessee's complains Wales believed that he wasn't going to cooperate. This calmed her worry about him. "So. Do you have any injuries?" Illustrious said warmly to Six.
"I have a few scratches. And I am a bit tired. I can use some rest." Six answered. He sounded more relaxed. Not that he suddenly trusted them, but because they weren't hostile. Six was about to say something more but he pondered about his current situation. He was tired. And there was nothing to say about it. He needed to sleep, despite his first encounter with 'girls' in this world. He would take his chances. Not that he has other choice. ("Maybe these girls aren't bad. Still I'm going to keep my eyes open.")
"We have a repair ship. She may not be a medic but she knows first aid." Wales said. She was about to keep talking but she paused at the sound on her radio "Shall we go inside. Is getting dark already. Shall we... Mister B-312?" Illustrious was confused of how she should call him. Six just nodded and they all get inside. Six was stumbling every once in a while, but he refuse any sort of help. Tennessee wasn't sure about him. But she should wait until he try something stupid...
George here again. This episode is the preparation to the next ones. Which will have a lot of action. Also I almost finished my job so, that means the chapters can be written more frequent, but that doesn't mean i'm gonna write anything just to make the chapter fast but inconsistent with the history. I guess that's it... I'm ready! How about y'all?
