Rushing towards the sound of the loud boom's echo, Sora continues running above the water at full speed wanting to find something or someone in this world. Out of the corner of his eye, Sora notices something flying up in the air. Tracing that said object to the left Sora realized that there were a lot more flying objects in the air and what looked to be other objects flying around.

Moving closer to get a better look Sora realized that the flying objects were actually planes shooting at other planes which meant that Sora was walking into the middle of a fight. Not wanting to get caught in the crossfire, Sora frowned knowing that heading in the direction of the planes was his only shot at finding some sort of civilization. Making his decision with a reluctant sigh, Sora continued running towards the planes which made him do a spit take.

Out of nowhere, red and black ships that appeared to have a futuristic look around them appeared out of thin air. Knowing that he was not going crazy, *at the moment at least* Sora started running toward the closest ship trying to avoid being spotted by the crew or whoever had been commanding the fleet.

Successfully, Sora wall ran up the side of the dark ship and onto the main body which appeared to be devoid of anyone or anything. Confused, Sora looked around the ship but still couldn't see anything helpful. Realizing the possibilities, Sora came up with the idea that these ships did not hold anyone on board and were being controlled somewhere else.

About to jump off the ship and start exploring the rest of the fleet, Sora took a quick glance at the other ships and had to double-take and blink twice before recognizing a distinct symbol. On one of the ships in the fleet, this ship appeared to be black and red, but the closer Sora looked at the ship and its' features he noticed a purple hue on the black and a flag at the top of the ship.

A heartless symbol plastered on the flag swaying with the wind.

Taking a moment to process what he had seen, Sora then decided to bolt straight to that ship in particular wanting to stop it from reaching wherever it was supposed to go. Having used his flow motion to jump from one ship to the other, Sora finally landed on the heartless ship, summoning his keyblade and taking an offensive fighting stance.

Unbeknownst to Sora, a figure with white hair and yellow eyes was watching him from a distance on another ship. Wanting to see just who this boy was and why he was so heavily focused on the heartless ship, the figure raised its hand which had tentacles wrapped around their hand along with darkness beginning to form. Not wanting to be seen, the figure then stepped into a portal to avoid being caught.

Meanwhile, on the heartless ship. Sora began looking around to see if any heartless would appear now that the keyblade had been summoned and in his hand which practically worked for attracting darkness like a magnet. Not a moment later a group of shadow heartless started appearing along with multiple large bodies all over the deck of the heartless ship. Smirking with a confident grin, Sora decided to make short work of the heartless and began by getting up close.

Without wasting any time, Sora locked onto the first large body he had seen and used his flow motion ability to dash straight at the heartless, in particular knocking it back with his sudden impact. Following the clash, Sora twirled on his right foot and landed a three-hit combo against the nearby shadows while also casting a blizzard spell to freeze an unexpecting large body not caught in the shocking impact. Immediately freezing the large body, Sora used aerial to launch the heartless in the air only to go chasing after it and slash at its' body until the large body faded away leaving a pink crystalized heart to go floating away. Sora, still in the air, decided to cast a thunder spell wanting to cover the surrounding area and weaken remaining heartless.

Deciding that wasn't enough, Sora decided to start spamming thunder spells left and right to finish this little skirmish and focus on the rest of the ship. Taking a deep breath and exhaling, Sora, while slowly falling from the air, locked onto the last remaining large body and used flow motion to slam into the heartless, killing it immediately. Noticing a few shadows not grouped together, Sora casted multiple fire spells ending the once threatening group of heartless once and for all.

Noticing that no more heartless were going to spawn, Sora quickly began charging light into the keyblade hoping that his idea of using a charged attack and stabbing the heartless ship would cause it to become hurt or even disappear. Taking his chance now, Sora yelled while raising the keyblade with both hands and slammed it into the ship which forced the entire ship to start shaking. Having no idea what was going on, Sora decided to book it and jump onto another ship to watch what was going on with the heartless ship.

Following the charged-up attack, the heartless ship began to glow a purple color until a quick flash of light appeared which also disappeared leaving a large pink crystalized heart to fly into the sky. Fascinated and satisfied by the destruction of the heartless ship, Sora rubbed his nose with his right hand and had a big smirk on his face ready to take on more heartless.

However, Sora had been so focused on the heartless ship that he didn't realize that the rest of the dark ships seemed to stop moving as they had reached their destination. Realizing his mistake, Sora then looked around and saw what appeared to be two girls directing a group of planes to attack a white-haired girl wearing a hat and a good distance away from their location. Each of the girls appeared to be standing next to a large ship which Sora figured was under their individual control. Not knowing who friend or foe was, Sora ran towards the two girls who upon closer inspection appeared to have tails and what appeared to be ears on their head.

Landing back on the water's surface, Sora made his way towards the duo wanting to make his presence known, he then yelled out to the two animal featured girls, "Hey! Stop it! Why are you fighting each other? Shouldn't you be fighting the dark ships?".

Time seemed to stop as one of the girls grew furious and immediately turned in the direction spoken to and began yelling at Sora, "Mind your tongue you waste of wis... dom... cu...bes...". The girl who had turned to respond to Sora had suddenly stopped midway through her sentence when she saw Sora standing and staring at her wide eyed.

The other girl who had been commandeering planes to attack the white-haired girl then began speaking to the girl who had spoken out at Sora, "Kaga! What is wrong dear sister! Why did you suddenly stop talking when... you...turned". The other girl who appeared to have brown hair that went past her waist then noticed Sora standing and staring at the two's sudden loss of words.

Feeling nervous about the two girls and their behavior at seeing him, Sora decided to speak up, "Hey, are you two, ok? What's going on here? Why are you two attacking the white-haired girl over there? That's not fair having a 2 vs 1 fight" hoping that his sudden appearance would stop the fight.

However, seeing Sora talk with the two animal featured girls, the said white-haired girl yelled out to Sora, "Hey wait! Don't listen to those two! They are with the sirens!". Sora, having heard everything she said, went wide-eyed and immediately turned to the two animal featured girls with a shocked expression. "What...why are you with the enemy. Do you know how dangerous the heartless are?" asked Sora with a look of disappointment to the two.

Unsure of what to do next, the girl who had yelled at Sora turned towards the brown-haired girl about to comment on the situation at hand only to be interrupted. Out of nowhere, what appeared to be a flat red paper plan flew right in front of the two animal girls directing their attention to the far left and spotting another girl.

This new girl appeared to be wearing a short dress skirt that was red along with a white jacket and sword holstered at her hip. Another feature that stuck out about the new girl was that she was sporting what appeared to be a long ponytail with a ball ornament attached to her brown hair. Having taken up everyone's attention she then spoke up, "My seniors, let's get moving". Having heard the ponytailed girl, the brown-tailed girl turned to the white-tailed girl, whose name appeared to be Kaga, and confided in her, "Hmm it seems this little gathering is over. For now, at least. ... you there boy. Do not trust Azur Lane for they are weak and can no longer protect themselves. Consider the Crimson Axis as your friends. We will protect the weak and save the world".

Having finished her speech, Kaga and her partner then raised their hands which began summoning light above them that soon grew too bright to stare at which forced Sora to cover his eyes. Within a couple of seconds later, the light dimmed away leaving Sora confused by what the brown tailed girl had said about this Azur Lane.

In addition, the white-haired girl wearing the hat had slowly come up to Sora and examined him top to bottom while staring into his eyes. Purple eyes were staring at blue eyes getting read on this mysterious newcomer. After taking a moment to scan Sora the white capped girl then replied, "You're safe now. Azur Lane will protect you from the Sakura Empire and answer any questions you have if you would please come with me".

Considering his options, Sora decided it would be best to check this Azur Lane out and see if they could help him find his way back home in this strange new world.
