Battleships fired their main cannons at the target a dozen miles away, the extra firepower from Massachusetts and Jean Bart, along with the battleships of H Force that had been taken under command by Shepherd until this Suez operation is over. The combined firepower and the planes from Enterprise, Hornet, Illustrious and Ark Royal make sure that no siren ships get close to the combined fleet. Shepherd simply watches from the deck of Enterprise as he always does. A few planes fly past him as Enterprise sends out a few more planes ahead to find the next line of Siren defenses around their Suez base. Enterprise and Hood walk over to where Shepherd stands. At that moment a beam of light can be seen off in the distance where the Siren base would be. The beam of light shoots out into the sky, creating a sort of vortex with the clouds above. Shepherd activates his comms and shouts.
"Everyone pull back" But it's too late. A wave of energy shoots out in all directions, eventually engulfing Shepherd's fleet, and all those there lose consciousness.
Shepherd opens his eyes, he quickly stands up looking at the area around him. His helmet is on, and he uses the zoom feature to look around. The water below him seems different. His boots are similar in technology to how shipgirls walk on water but this is something different. There's no wind, no waves, no nothing. No land can be seen on the horizon. Shepherd sees something white in the far distance, not knowing what else to do, Shepherd walks forward to it. He gets closer, and finds out that it's a girl. Playing with toys. The girl doesn't look up at him, her white skin the same as many other Sirens. Her clothes are also very similar, the only difference is that it covers more of her skin compared to many other Sirens that seem to only wear either bikinis or skimpy uniforms. The Siren girl simply plays with her toys as Shepherd moves towards her. Eventually Shepherd stands in front of where the girl plays, three teddy bears and the siren sit around a small table, a few chairs, and a tea set. The girl looks up at Shepherd and offers a tea cup to him. Shepherd simply gets down to one knee to get down to her level. He takes the tea cup but puts it on the table. Despite her being a Siren, Shepherd can't help but get the feeling that his fatherly side is coming out.
"My name's Shepherd, what's your name?" He asks her. The Siren girl looks up at him.
"The Daughter" She responds. 'The Daughter?' Shepherd asks himself. The sky becomes a dark red and The Daughter becomes scared, the table, teddy bears, and tea set disappears. Shepherd stands up and looks at his surroundings, when he notices something on the horizon. An arrow hits him at great speeds and explodes. Sending him flying back, his armor takes most of the damage but the force is going to leave a bruise tomorrow. Looking up, Shepherd sees a dozen Dauntless dive bombers, coming straight down in his and The Daughter's area. The Daughter screams in panic as Siren drone ships come out of portals, firing into the sky at the Dauntless aircraft. They destroy many of the Siren drone ships, before heading back into the sky. Another wave of Dauntlesses soon comes down, most of them heading towards The Daughter's area. Shepherd runs towards The Daughter. He picks her up and uses drone wreckage around them to shield them from the dive bombers.
Hiding behind wreckage, an arrow piercing the wreckage in front of Shepherd only a few inches away from his face. He turns around and shields The Daughter from the arrow that explodes a second later, sending the two back. Turning to face where his cover used to be, he finds someone that surprises him, but she seems different.
"Enterprise?"
