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.
(Abandoned Island)
It didn't take very long for Eagle Union soldiers to arrive on the island. They found both Tirpitz and Leviathan on the beach of the island.
Leviathan stopped Tirpitz from engaging the group. He could see it was making Tirpitz uneasy to have to work with the Eagle Legion. This was still for the best.
"I assume you're here to rescue me?" Leviathan asked as Enterprise along with her sisters approached them.
Leviathan stood up. Enterprise locked eyes with him as he placed himself between her and Tirpitz.
"If I go?" Leviathan asked aloud before looking at Tirpitz who blinked and looked at her friend. "Then Tirpitz comes with me… As a friend, not a prisoner." Leviathan said while crossing his arms.
"Tirpitz?" Enterprise asked the battleship who nodded and looked at Leviathan. He gently helped her up before brushing off his hands with a smile.
(With Bismarck)
Bismarck glowered with anger. Leviathan had escaped, her sister hadn't come back yet, and she had soldiers reporting the Eagle Union and the alliance was nearby.
It meant they had lost this outpost. Leviathan escaping meant she had no prisoners to use against the alliance. Leviathan also knew that Leviathan needed to be studied.
"Lady Bismarck." She heard from Roon as she walked over to her and saluted. "I wish to report to you that Lady Tirpitz ordered us to retreat during the battle with Leviathan. She wished to handle him alone." Roon said while frowning.
She knew her commander cared about Leviathan. Tirpitz made it clear despite anything that happened? Leviathan would always have a place in Tirpitz's heart.
It made Bismarck's blood boil. Her sibling had either fallen in battle with Leviathan, or had just plain fallen in love with him. This Leviathan had to fall if people were to be safe.
"Then we find Leviathan." Bismarck ordered before drawing her sword. "And you WILL allow me to handle him personally, Roon." Bismarck stated before casting a glare at the destroyed prison area.
It made things all the more interesting if Leviathan was such a powerful enough warrior to contest her power. This would be a battle worth celebrating over the years.
(With Leviathan)
Leviathan said nothing, for he could think of little he wanted to convoy.
Enterprise stood as her unit looked over the rest of the island, wishing to make sure no trace of an Ironblood ambush was nearby.
"So, you wish to stay with Leviathan and help us deal with the Sirens." Enterprise stated and was addressed with a nod. "May I ask why when it comes down to it?" Enterprise questioned, raising an eyebrow. Tirpitz shifted slightly and turned to look at Leviathan.
She hummed and found her voice after a few moments of doubt.
"Leviathan is my friend." Tirpitz stated before standing closer to said friend who crossed his arms. "The Sirens have been moving the Ironblood against the Eagle Union for years. I will not allow my group to be perverted by their teachings any longer. I will destroy them and any other enemies that there are to me and Leviathan." Tirpitz added in at the end.
Enterprise looked between the duo, quite curious as to why both warriors weren't fighting. Tirpitz seemed to be quite cautious around Leviathan and Leviathan? He seemed unphased, like this meant very little to a warrior like him.
What had these two done to garner such a bond? Leviathan watched Tirpitz before giving her a nod.
"I wish to inform you that if I'm going to be a member of the Eagle Union? Then it be best you include Tirpitz as well. She volunteered to help me, but it's clear we're both going to need some help trying to take down Ironblood." Leviathan stated before clenching his fist.
Enterprise sighed and walked past the duo. Enterprise wasn't stupid. The duo cared about each other enough to where it made her well aware that they had feelings.
"I will try and see what I can do." Enterprise said as she turned to look at the water around the island. "But don't expect all said commands to instantly go through." Enterprise said before she brushed off her arms and started to walk away.
It was clear Enterprise had allowed them both to join the Eagle Union. But Leviathan already knew it wouldn't be free to just join up. You never just got into a group if they had doubts and wanted to test you, and it was quite clear that tests were in the future.
Leviathan turned to look at Tirpitz who smiled at her friend, wondering what to do next.
"Well, this is certainly going to be interesting." Leviathan stated to himself as he cracked his arms, reading himself for what would come next.
Leviathan couldn't predict what was going to happen soon. Not one bit.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Tirpitz and Leviathan are partners currently, not dating. Next chapter will be in 2-4 weeks and will end up showing more talking between Leviathan and Tirpitz. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
P.S: I am soon going to make more Azur Lane stories, but not all will be posted on time sadly.
