Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of War of the Waves. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu, Ximen Yongshi and a few others do.
(Alliance territory)
Enterprise turned to see Tirpitz holding her sword to Leviathan's throat.
"Either he comes with me or he dies…" Tirpitz said while Leviathan tried to struggle against her grip.
"Let him go, Tirpitz!" Enterprise yelled while the Ironblood battleship looked at her with cold eyes.
"You're not in a position to make demands, Enterprise! I have a hostage… And I know he might not belong to you entirely, but I know you're not going to let him die…" Tirpitz stated before Yorktown spoke up.
"It's just like you to take hostages… Just because Enterprise is as strong as your sister…" She said before Prinz Eugen blasted her into the water and Enterprise drew her bow.
"If you think…." Enterprise said before Leviathan spoke up.
"Let them go and take me… If you're really here just to kidnap me, then their just an obstacle… I'll come willingly if you let them go." He said and Enterprise blinked.
"Leviathan, you can't! If they…" He started to say and looked at the carrier.
"You're not going to win this, either you kill them or they kill you… If they want me, take me." He said and Enterprise looked at her sisters and realized the Ironblood had entirely caught them off guard. She might kill a few of them, but a fight against Tirpitz and her entire faction when her sisters were wounded?
It would be a bloodbath. She looked at the ground.
"Take him… But don't expect this to end the same way when we fight again…" She said, Tirpitz didn't need to hear the rest and just clonked the defeated carrier on the head before pushing him to the others.
"Take it up with Bismarck, Enterprise…" She said before she walked away and the other ships dragged the defeated carrier away.
Enterprise glared at her with hatred as the Ironblood pulled back, allowing the Eagle Union to survive another day, battered, but alive.
(With the Ironblood, 20 minutes later)
Leviathan groaned while looking around at all of the Ironblood warriors before someone noticed that he was awake.
"Commander, he's awake." He heard and was tossed to the water.
"I see you've kept your word unlike the group that I know…" He said while he looked up at Tirpitz.
"My sister told me to capture you and take you to the nearest Crimson Axis base which is 2 hours away…. My sister is going to meet you there… She didn't say to wipe out the Eagle Union." She stated before he looked at the water and continued to cough blood at this.
"Your sick… And that's not from the stab wound…. Its more severe." She stated while he looked at her then crumpled into the water.
"Damn it…. Move him faster, we're worry about his sickness when we get to the base and we can research what's wrong with him." She ordered and began walking in the location of the base.
He was certainly as kind as an Eagle Union ship.
(With Bismarck)
Bismarck led not only the other portion of the Ironblood, but dozens of regular soldiers and some of the Sakura Empire.
"Your sister has that carrier… 'Leviathan'. I don't know why you'd order a full attack on the Eagle Legion just to kidnap one carrier…." Kawakaze stated, looking over the reinforcements that the Ironblood ruler had with her while she looked over the group.
"We're dealing with a carrier who is way more advanced than anyone in the entire world besides the sirens… If he allies with the Eagle Legion, then they can challenge us… You want to fight a carrier stronger than Enterprise?" She asked before she continued marching forward with her soldiers following her.
She got no answer, but she didn't need one. They wanted the carrier for themselves.
She would see Leviathan when she met him, she wanted to see the warrior her sister had captured.
(With Tirpitz)
Tirpitz continued to walk forward into the ocean while the others dragged the limp Leviathan behind her. She sighed and looked at the ocean, they were walking until they got to the base.
They had an hour and a half until they got to the base, but they had dozens of soldiers when they got there, they were human soldiers, but they combined with the rest of the Ironblood and the Sakura Empire?
One carrier couldn't possibly escape them unless he was stronger than a full force of 2 militaries.
"I wonder what the rest of the group is doing…" Tirpitz muttered before she turned back towards the task at hand.
They had a lot of time to think on that… Leviathan didn't seem to. She wondered what thoughts ran through his head.
He was noble, she'd give him that, but it wouldn't matter much, not to Bismarck, she was a warrior.
It would take her half a day or so to arrive though.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that the Ironblood might have a little plutonium unlike history a little. I also want to point out Tirpitz is going to spend the most time with Leviathan right now. Next chapter will be on Saturday or so and will show Leviathan and Tirpitz talking. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
