Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of War of the Waves. Enjoy the 1200-word chapter. I don't own Azur Lane, Shanghai Manjuu, Ximen Yongshi and a few others do.

(Crimson Axis Base)

When Leviathan got up, he was sitting in a cage and blinked before he looked at Tirpitz looking at him.

"Thanks, I needed sleep." Leviathan joked before Tirpitz rolled her eyes and cleared her throat.

"I have some questions for you…. Your body was leaking fuel, it doesn't run on gasoline like the rest of us, does it?" She asked, Leviathan hummed.

"If my body functions the same way a Nimitz does? No, it doesn't, it's powered by nuclear energy… Something only a few sources here have… It's rich in the future." He stated and Tirpitz allowed him to walk to the bars of the cage in front of her in shadow water.

"Your Ironblood is based on a group of human fascists, aren't they? I've seen those crosses before, my grandfather knows about you…. Least what your based on." He stated, Tirpitz sighed.

"The Human you speak of was killed by other humans brutally… You are much more advanced technology then any carrier I have seen around here." She stated and Leviathan hummed.

"Welcome to the future of supercarriers… If I know my history, and I kept a small library back on my ship… Before it became my body. Your one of 2 ships, Bismarck is the other ship… History wasn't kind to you." He said and she turned to him and looked him right in the eye.

"You know who my sister is?" She hissed out, he hummed and nodded.

"Bismarck, she went out going to war with whatever the RN is here… You… You went out… Well, I'm guessing you know." He said, while he despised what the group Ironblood was based on? Tirpitz seemed to have some degree of honor with her at the very least from what he had seen.

"You know the history of every Ironblood ship then?" Tirpitz asked, avoiding the question while he nodded.

"Every ship in your fleet, Enterprise and them and some of your allies… You learn a lot from studying what came before you… You seem to have a lot more interest in me then someone who's just guarding a prisoner." He said and Tirpitz turned to the side.

"You tried to engage me in combat despite being wounded and sick. You were foolish, but brave. You're a lot more than meets the eye, aren't you?" She asked and he shrugged.

"Without nuclear fuel, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be fading in and out… The only reason your side won was because of infighting and things like teamwork… Battleships lost their place in the food chain when carriers were introduced from what I've heard." He stated and Tirpitz looked down.

Leviathan didn't see the look of someone with pure hatred. He saw someone who had their chance to die honorable in battle ripped away.

"What will happen when your sister arrives? I'm sure she just sees me as a weapon… You either use a weapon or you kill it." He said and the snow-white battleship sighed.

"She will interrogate you, as I have… A carrier such as you, powerful and without any real bonds? She would want a soldier like that." She stated and he hummed.

He had no bond with Tirpitz, if she wanted him dead, she would have run him through. He always wondered why they had phased out battleships in war.

He did however, know that she was keeping things from him, learning to read people is something a captain usually learned well.

"You're winning the war from what I've seen, if you wanted them killed, you could have killed them all in battle." He said and Tirpitz hummed.

"I'm a warrior, Ironblood has always been since the fact that sister allied us with the Sirens." Tirpitz stated, looking at her uniform while looking at the wide-eyed Leviathan.

Sirens? He remembered hearing that word from the group attacking him… Had these 'Sirens' been the ones who had slaughtered his entire fleet?

"I… ok then, I don't know what to say." He said while the battleship looked over the carrier and saw that he was still sick.

"We have a little fuel that can sustain you, I'll tell my sister you're not ok right now, she has a few days before she gets here…. I'm sure she'll have more questions." She said before she started to walk away.

"I'm sure she'll be less forthcoming then someone like you." he said and Tirpitz turned to the carrier.

She saw that her last comment had touched a nerve with him, she didn't approve of the sirens. They were selfish warlords who slaughtered everyone they touched.

She saw someone like her, who had lost someone close to him because of warfare.

She would talk to him again. Her sister didn't have the same mercy to him. She spent most of her time trying to destroy Enterprise, the only warrior to ever defeat her in battle.

She also learned one thing at the least. He responded to her kindness… Bismarck would try to force information out of him, she wouldn't. You can't force someone to give information all the time, it would just make them eager to hold onto it because they know the information was and is important to the battle.

"Find some of that new fuel we stole and hook him up to it, killing him isn't in our orders and we cant get any information from him if he's dead." She ordered to Hipper who nodded and went to carry out her orders.

She turned back towards Leviathan who had done nothing so far, too weak to get up, he still looked at her with the same eyes as before she mentioned the sirens.

She walked away for her office, she had decisions to make. Her sister might have been the leader of Ironblood, and one of the main leaders of the Crimson Axis.

She was still second in command of Ironblood and the field commander for their military efforts.

(With the Eagle Union)

the mission the Royal Navy had been sent on was a lie, manufactured information by the Sakura Empire to keep them out of the attack by the Ironblood.

Enterprise looked over her healing sisters and then frowned.

"Ironblood has been keeping us on the back foot since they've created their alliance, we need to rescue Leviathan…. They can just use him as a hostage… As long as he remains with Ironblood, there's a problem… We need to strike back." She stated and clenched her fist.

She knew that Leviathan would be moved sooner or later, but he was too weak at the moment to be moved anywhere.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Leviathan is going to learn to fight soon. I do want to also point out that the Sirens are the main enemy of the story, not the Crimson Axis. Next chapter will be on Wednesday and will show more of Leviathan and Tirpitz talking. Until then, Lighting Wolf out.

Ps: the poll will be closed by next week and replaced by a new poll.
