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.
(Crimson Axis Base)
"Sister!" Bismarck heard from Tirpitz as the Ironblood commander turned to see Tirpitz walking up to her before glaring at her sister.
"Hello, Tir…" Bismarck was cut off by her younger sibling, growling out a hiss with her next words.
"You bully me at MY base, you interrogate a prisoner that I am interrogating… You put me in charge of the Ironblood if you aren't around, but you do nothing but demean me and my prisoner." Tirpitz hissed, jabbing a finger into her sister's chest as Bismarck glared at her.
Neither noticed Leviathan was trying to push through the bars while he noticed the duo arguing as he did.
"You do NOTHING but look down on me despite me being powerful enough to equal you! you have always done this since you started negotiating with the Sirens." Leviathan watched Bismarck growl and draw her sword before Tirpitz reached for her own blade.
"Do you really wish to do this?" She asked her sibling while stepping through the water pooling around their feet.
"You had forgotten your place as second, sister." Bismarck went to slap her sibling, ending this silly farce.
Tirpitz despite being smaller and such? leviathan watched Tirpitz grab her arm and flick her towards the cage.
This was enough to batter the doors down as the Ironblood commander growled and went to engage her sister.
Leviathan was able to turn and skate along the water towards the exit, both girls too engaged in their battling to notice their prisoner was gone.
"You turned into a spoiled brat because of that THING!" Tirpitz dodged a cut at her cheek before kicking her sibling into the water.
"He is called Leviathan, and despite being a PRISONER, he has treated me with more respect then you ever have! You have done nothing but stay in your command center and order everyone to fight for you, not once consider taking to the battlefield unless you had no choice… I had to run the ENTIRE war effort down south because you refused to do so much as set up supply lines if you didn't have a full fleet of ships at your beck and call!" Tirpitz hissed before Bismarck fired her guns at her sibling.
She was forced back, but the holes did start to fix themselves, if somewhat slowly.
"I am commander of the Crimson Axis!" Tirpitz batted a shell to the side and looked at her sibling.
"We have SEVERAL commanders within the Crimson Axis… I'M ONE OF THEM, AND YOU TREAT ME LIKE A DAMN SECRETARY RATHER THEN AN EQUAL! I'M YOUR BLASTED SISTER, AND YOU REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING IF YOU AREN'T TREATED LIKE A DAMNED QUEEN IN THE PROCESS!" She hissed before noticing that she had let her prisoner escape.
Tirpitz blinked before questioning if Leviathan had manipulated her into…. If he had? oh, he'd beg for her mercy when she was done.
"Now I have to find my prisoner because of your inability to let me handle things like that, sister." Tirpitz brought out her radio to contact her men for search protocols.
Tirpitz wouldn't kill Leviathan, but she'd get her damn answers from her friend... if they were even friends still.
(With Leviathan)
Did Leviathan feel bad about escaping during the fight? yes, did he know he'd do it again if he had to? Leviathan would do it again in a heartbeat.
"I'm sorry, Pitz… but I had to escape, even if it meant turning you against your sibling, I really did want to be your friend and I hope you don't kill me when you find me again." Leviathan continued to skate away along the water as he sighed and then skated along the water away from the base. He knew he wouldn't get too far on his own, he didn't have the access to resources the others did, and he didn't know this world long enough to guess where he should have gone.
So, he settled for simply getting to another island or such where he could rest and think of a strategy. Tirpitz wouldn't forgive him, but he hadn't lied about trying to be her friend, he only wanted a distraction to get out of the base and to safety.
"She's going to kill me if she ever finds me again… oh well, at the very least I'll be able to handle Tirpitz the next time she finds me hopefully." Leviathan muttered to himself as he continued to skate away, unsure of what would come next.
He had two groups hunting him, and he didn't know what would happen next as far as another move.
Leviathan continued to skate towards what he guessed could be an island, hopefully he'd be free which he wanted.
He collapsed just as he reached the island and plopped onto the sand with exhaustion.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I'm sorry for being short with this chapter. I'll start making the chapters longer. I want to point out Tirpitz and Leviathan still care about each other; they're just going to have a rough spot in things. Until next, next week, Lighting Wolf out!
Ps: Next chapter will show the Eagle Union hunting for Leviathan and him trying to adapt to his powers… also I don't know when I will make new Azur Lane stories and Kaga's story is in a few weeks.
