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)

Leviathan hummed and ran his hands through the sand. His plan to manipulate Tirpitz until she would bicker and challenge her sister had worked.

And yet he felt bad, like he shouldn't have tried to pit his friend against her sister, it hurt him to do so.

Still? It was something that had to be done, he wanted to escape, the Ironblood seemed ruthless enough to destroy everything if it meant gaining an advantage in the war effort.

"Yet, I'm alone… if I go to Enterprise and them? they're going to throw me in another jail cell and question me, and I doubt there's enough tension for me to escape from there the same way I managed to get out this time." Leviathan muttered to himself.

If he went to go speak to Tirpitz, she'd think he used her… which he wished he didn't feel bad about since he did.

And then she'd kill him or torture him or do something heinous to him. he had no allies or resources to use rather then his own wits and weaponry.

And even then? he knew so little about thing he could barely put up a fight if they did find him.

It was best to stay put once he found somewhere to hunker down and rest. Combat could wait till he was patched up and not about to keel over and die.

"Tirpitz will kill me when she finds me…" Leviathan muttered before looking at the sky as something flew overhead…

A drone, he didn't know if it belonged to Ironblood or the Eagle Union, he did know for a matter of they'd find him if he stayed here any longer. it annoyed him, but he'd have to get moving now if he was going to avoid notice from anyone around him.

He sighed and hit the water, skating as fast as he could.

(With Tirpitz)

Tirpitz hated Leviathan, he had used her feelings against her sister to escape… she had promised to make sure he'd grovel before her when he was found and brought to her.

The Ironblood commander had ordered all of her forces to spread out and find the lying soldier, they were under orders not to kill him, however. She'd take care of him herself.

Still, Tirpitz wasn't entirely mad at him, he didn't trust anyone and even if he was lying? Leviathan was right when it came to her and her sibling not getting along.

She hated to also admit it and wasn't sure if it was excellent planning, poor timing on their part or something else? But the Eagle Union had finally decided to make a move, she would have to pursue him later down the road.

Though she promised Leviathan would pay for his lies against her when she found him… oh, would he pay when they met again.

(With Leviathan)

It was an Eagle Union plane, that meant they'd be coming after him sooner or later, and he couldn't allow them to catch him.

It was also refreshing to be on the water, even if he wasn't used to skating? He did thoroughly enjoy the water, having come from a family that had spent years on the water itself.

He skimmed off a rock and then backflipped into the water once more. It was fun, and would be enjoyable if he wasn't fleeing capture by two navies both wanting to capture and probably rip him apart to get to the advanced tech inside him.

He also considered the fact he'd be forced to fight sooner or later, that wasn't a choice more than it was an option.

Still, he planed on delaying that as long as possible.

Leviathan watched the plane peel off. No doubt to go and tell its owner where he was. It would be only a matter of time until he was found and he honestly hopped it would be by the Eagle Union and not Ironblood, if Tirpitz found him?

"Ugh, I don't even want to think about that if she finds me. I just know it wouldn't end well, and that's a good enough reason to keep running and running until I find dry land away from both groups, once I get my bearings? Things will hopefully start falling into place." Leviathan skimmed the water for another moment and then slid to a stop.

He sighed and looked at the endless stretches of ocean, if he ran out of energy? He guaranteed he'd be sleeping with the fishes for good. It wasn't something he wanted to endure, and he would make sure he wouldn't.

"Ugh, just keep moving and moving." He muttered once more and then set off in a direction he hoped they wouldn't predict.

Little did he know what the next week would bring. He had no way of knowing.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I'm sorry if the updates are short, I'm thinking of what to do next. next chapter is going to end up being in 2 weeks though, and will show Leviathan trying to survive. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!

Ps: Warden's story is going to be 900 words and I might make another Azur Lane story soon hopefully at this rate.
