35. Azur Knight

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Four Brawlers immediately get their heads blown off by pellets coming from four 8 Gauge shotgun shells, William's eye darted at lightning speed as he quickly identified the next nearby threat, aimed his shotgun, squeezed the trigger, and killed a Brawler that's charging at him. Two more approached from each of his sides, William thrust his right leg toward one of the Brawlers' chests, stunning it for a bit, and shooting the other before finishing off the stunned Brawler with another shot. By this time, the Brawlers decided to go all out as they charged at him together. William didn't hesitate to empty the rest of the shells loaded into the shotgun, he moved at incredible speed to avoid being overwhelmed as he shot any Brawlers trying to pounce him and managed to kill each one with one shotgun blast…The remaining twenty-six shells are quickly expended and only eight Brawlers are left around him. They retreated for a bit, putting some distance between them and William, who stared at his shotgun's hologram ammo counter as he noted that he's out of ammo.

"Oh well, store ASM…Load SS Blade." William said to himself.

The shotgun disappeared in a flash of blue and in his right hand, the Siren Slayer blade materialized. William stared ahead and noted that the Brawlers are staring at him from quite the distance away, looks like they're afraid to charge towards him after their friends were massacred by his shotgun. William could've just jumped and attacked them, but he will get obliterated by the dropships and the Siren troopers nearby. The reason why they haven't fired yet is because he's currently standing between them and the civilians, they want those people to be alive for some reason, and that limited his options here. Like it or not, the KANSENs would have to fire at the nearby dropships and risk the lives of the civilians. That dropships could be shot down with one shot if the ship girls are using their main guns, but it would seem they would have to resort to using their AA guns since firing main guns with civilians nearby might not be a smart move.

"Baltimore, Hipper, prepare to take out those dropships. AA guns only, focus your fire upon them." William said to Baltimore and Hipper on the radio.

"Huh?! Wait, wouldn't that provoke the other Sirens to attack us!?" Hipper asked William on the radio.

"Do it on my signal…I'm going to distract them." William said to Hipper on the radio.

"Huh?! Against that many Sirens?! Are you crazy, kommandant?! You can't take on that many in close quarters! Even with your armor!" Hipper said to William on the radio.

"Don't worry, Hipper. I'll get it done." William said to Hipper on the radio.

"Do what you have to do commander, we got your back!" Baltimore said to William on radio.

"Thanks Baltimore." William said to Baltimore on the radio.

(Rules of Nature started playing)

"Aibou, flight mode." William said in a low tone.

"Flight mode engaged." Aibou notified William.

The jet thrusters on his back go on. William immediately dashed forward, propelling himself with his newfound strength while being aided with the jet thrusters. He managed to close in on the Brawler group within split seconds. By the time the Brawlers were able to react, William's blade was already swinging towards them. Two of the Brawlers are cleaved through from a single slash, splitting their bodies into two as William lands behind them. The remaining six Brawlers jumped toward him, and the Siren troopers opened fire. William quickly dashed to the side and swung his sword upwards that killed a Brawler, which got its upper torso slashed in two. He then flung his sword toward another Brawler in front of him, which resulted in the giant sword stabbing the Brawler through the chest. William ignored the Brawler he just stabbed and went towards the remaining three.

BZZT!

His body's left side temporarily flashed in blue as two plasma bolts hit him directly, his personal shield flared up as it managed to do its job. Luckily his shield was at full charge, so he could still take a few more hits. William managed to close in on the three remaining Brawlers, as expected, the three of them also charged toward him. They don't see him carrying a weapon and think that he's vulnerable, William is going to prove them wrong in a second. He unsheathed his twin wrist blades. William jumped and kicked the nearest Brawler, giving it a nice feet uppercut that resulted in the monster flying backwards while having its neck snapped. He then lunged on another Brawler just behind the one he kicked. William immediately stabbed the Brawler in the jugular, yanking the blade sideways that caused major damage, and resulting in yellow blood profusely spurting out of the Brawler. The last Brawler meets the same fate as the last one, but instead of letting it fall to the ground, William grabs the Brawler and throws it toward a group of Siren troopers who are distracted by a flying corpse.

"Do it now!" William said out loud on the radio.

"Yes sir! Open fire!" Baltimore said out loud.

The ship girls fired their AA guns toward the Siren dropships, forcing them to flee by going upwards as fast as they could. With the aerial threat around the area temporarily gone, the human soldiers in the area could fire at the Siren troopers. The soldiers managed to rope and pin most of the Siren troopers, with the exception of one group that almost got hit by a thrown Brawler corpse. That group is for William to slaughter…The man dashed to the side to grab his broadsword, then William charged at the Siren trooper group that consisted of ten troopers; all of them raised their weapons then fired at William at a rapid pace. William put his blade in front of him as he sprinted with inhuman speed toward the troopers, the plasma bolts dealt zero damage to William as the blade's wide surface protected him from any direct damage. He managed to get in close with the Siren Troopers, William immediately swung his blade upwards diagonally, and he slashed a trooper into two with a single slash.

Without letting up, he brought down his blade in a downward slash and cleaved a Siren trooper perfectly into two. His next target is a bit far, and he's already under fire from the Sirens' plasma weapons, so William needs to be creative. He put his blade in a magnetic holster on his armor backside, shot out his left grappling hook, which the hook embedded itself inside a Siren trooper, and quickly yanked the rope toward him before he swung it around, effectively making a makeshift wrecking ball. He spun the trooper around as he slowly advanced toward the Siren troopers, who were forced to duck between abandoned cars. When he arrived at sufficient distance, William found one exposed Siren trooper in front of him and threw the trooper attached to his hook toward it. He jumped high and landed in front of another Siren trooper, who melee him right in the face with a plasma rifle. His shield flared up, but since he didn't feel anything other than momentum, William recovered within split seconds as he grabbed the plasma rifle, kicked the trooper down, before finishing it off with several plasma bolts to the head.

William acquired a Siren Plasma Rifle, his HUD reticle shape changed, and he could now read how many shots he has with the gun before he has to reload. Currently the rifle has forty-six shots left? More than enough for him. William advanced toward the remaining Siren troopers while firing his plasma rifle, time seemed to slow down a bit as he sprinted toward five remaining Siren troopers in front of him. Plasma bolts flew around him, some hit him directly and flared up his shield, but William remained steadfast in his advance, while firing the plasma rifle until it dried up. Two Siren troopers are killed from his plasma rifle fire, the other three decide that it's all or nothing, so they pull out some kind of black short sword and charge at William at once.

"Ho, alright, you're on!" William said out loud.

One of the troopers managed to get close to him ahead of the other two and swung its blade downwards, which William blocked with the plasma rifle; the gun broke, but it successfully prevented the blade from hitting William. He tossed it to the side, grabbed the Siren trooper's right hand, twisted it a complete 180 degrees, which caused the blade to fall and the trooper to scream in agony, and William used the trooper as a meat shield because the last two troopers charged toward him while thrusting their blades. Two blades embedded into the Siren Trooper William held, he didn't waste the chance as he kicked the stabbed trooper forward and stunned the remaining two Siren troopers. William dashed forward while extending his right wrist blade, he grabbed a trooper by the neck, it struggled by trying to weaken William's grip on it. William quickly stabbed the trooper he held in the chest several times in quick succession, he stabbed the trooper in seven different spots before throwing it down to the ground. The last trooper already turned around and tried to flee, but William noticed the trooper, and he fired his grappling hook toward it. The hook embedded on the trooper's backside, and William yanked the trooper back toward him.

"After what you did, don't even think I'm going to show any mercy!" William said out loud.

William released the hook while grabbing his blade at the same time, the trooper fell toward him, and William swung his blade toward it. The result? A perfectly cleaved Siren trooper, which continued to fall behind him and spurt out yellow blood…He thought everything was over, until William noted two incoming hostiles coming from his nine o'clock. He checked the map radar hybrid feature and found out that there were others following the two dots, he swiftly turned to the left while raising his blade in a defensive posture.

CLANK!

CLANK!

William kept his posture, but he's forced backwards; his feet skidding on the ground as he absorbed the hits he just received. He stared at who just hit him, and he could only grin widely. In front of William, seven Siren ship girls stood menacingly, the Strategist was flanked by two Peace Breakers, while four Explorers stood in front of them, and two of them are the ones who smacked William with their rigging…Him fighting against ship girls? To be honest, William didn't think it would be possible. But now, with the modification and his armor? He felt he could take on these Siren ship girls personally. Just as he's about to move, the Explorers in front of him aimed their cannons toward William…

"Oh motherfu-" William said out loud as he turned on his jet thrusters.

PSIUPSIUPSIUPSIUPSIUPSIUPSIU!

William dashed to the side to dodge the plasma bolts from the Siren ship girls, he made sure to direct them from firing at the civilians in front of the station by making the Sirens face away from them. Then, he charged toward the Siren ship girls with his blade in his right hand. Two Explorers immediately moved in to intercept him, but he had other plans. William jumps high toward the Strategist, who's about to launch fighters toward him. Fortunately, William is faster, and seconds later, he's already in front of the Siren. He swung his blade toward the Siren's hip, cutting it through like a hot knife through butter before side kicking its upper torso hard toward a building. The Peace Breakers charged their cannons and fired at William, luckily, he heard the sound of the cannons charging up so he had time to fly upwards, dodging the devastating cannon blast coming from the Siren KANSEN battleships.

PSIU PSIU!

BOOM BOOM!

Immediately after he flew upwards, William dived immediately toward one of the Peace Breakers, he knocked it down with a powerful dive kick before he grabbed its neck then swung it toward another Peace Breaker. The two Siren battleships collided and were thrown to the nearby building across the station. He'll deal with them after he takes out these four cockroaches…The Explorers immediately move in to swarm and beat William down, all four are engaging him in close quarters by using their riggings in a melee fight. William had to be on the defensive as he deflects and dodges their attacks, he's looking for an opening he could exploit and-

CLANK!

Something hit William in the head, which caused him to be thrown backwards, he rolled on the ground several times before he recovered and skidded on the ground in a kneeling position. His armor's internal speaker is beeping with a noisy alarm notifying him that his shield is completely depleted. William briefly stared at the empty shield gauge before he looked ahead. In front of him? The Peace Breakers have recovered, and it's sooner than he expected, or did he take too long dealing with the Explorers? Nevertheless, if he wants to win, then he better take the initiative. His body glows blue as his shield recharged, William grabbed his blade and charged ahead at the waiting Sirens who had their cannons ready to fire. The Sirens fired their guns, and William sidestepped, aided with his jet thrusters. Then he lunged toward the nearest Explorer.

The Siren was split in two as the Siren Slayer hit its midriff, the force William put in his attack even caused the split body to be thrown to the side. The Explorer directly behind the one William murdered immediately moved to attack, William, however, parried the rigging she used to attack with his back handed left arm, hitting it with enough force to cause the Siren to stagger. He swung his blade toward the Siren, decapitating it in one stroke. He maintained his momentum before William threw his blade toward one of the Peace Breakers. The blade crushed its head and caused the Siren to drop dead. His problem still exists as the other Peace Breaker begins to charge its cannons, while the other Explorers are dog piling him; they restrained him in place so the Peace Breaker can have a sure shot. William immediately directed his wrists toward the Explorers restraining him, then he fired the grappling hook, hitting them straight in the head. William retracts the ropes, pulling the Explorers, grabbing them by the neck once they're in range before positioning them in front of him then dashed backwards.

PSIU!

BAM!

"KOMMANDANT!" Hipper yelled in horror.

"Wait, his IFF is still intact! He's still alive!" Baltimore said out loud.

"We're here, what did we miss?!" Essex asked out loud.

"A lot of things, but don't worry, the show isn't over yet!" Baltimore said to Essex.

From the dust cloud caused by the Peace Breaker, William appeared and charged toward the Siren at full speed. His shields are recharging, the paint on his armor is chipped in various places, his scaly wrist guards are the ones affected the most. Looks like his personal energy shield is strong enough to tank most of the Peace Breaker's firepower if he didn't receive a direct hit and standing five meters away as the explosion occurs. The heat and shockwave did affect him though, but like the trooper he is, William shrugged them off as he set to kill the last Siren KANSEN within the immediate vicinity. In seconds, William successfully closed the gap between them, and he unsheathed his wrist blades. William moved his hand to stab the Siren, but it managed to grab a hold of his hand, preventing him from stabbing its head.

"Oh no you don't!" William said out loud.

William headbutted the Siren, causing it to stagger backwards. He then charged toward it once again while unleashing a barrage of stabs, the Siren knew it couldn't keep up with the lightning stab attempts, so it put up a defensive posture by using its rigging to cover itself. William knew and speculated in the past that every Siren's weakness is their head, you could blow half of their body away, dismember them, or even melt their internal organs, as long as their head is still intact then it will keep on living somehow. That's why, William will not take chances with this one bitch…William slid its legs, the Peace Breaker fell to the ground, and William brought down his leg in full force toward its head.

CRACK!

SPLAT!

"Heads up! Some of the Spider tanks managed to breach our perimeter! There's two of them!" Bremerton said out loud on the radio.

Indeed, there are two of them, one ran into a platoon of marines supported with M1 tanks while the other one? It appeared before William…This would be the first time William faced a Spider tank directly. He's seen the pictures, a mechanical tank with four limbs, plasma repeaters on each side, and a main cannon on its 'chin' area…It's a formidable opponent, especially that it could use its limbs to wreck even a tank. However, there's one advantage William has over their battle tank, he is more maneuverable.

Based on the battlefield intel, the main cannon will take around five seconds to charge up a full powered shot. So, William fired his grappling hooks toward the plasma repeaters on its side. The hooks are stuck, and William uses his new power to pull the ropes, the repeaters are pulled from the tank's chassis. The tank couldn't fire since William is too close, so it opted for a mechanical limb strike. It lunged its frontal limbs toward William, who's busy side stepping and dashing backwards to avoid that fatal limb attack. If he got hit, it would pierce his shield without a problem and end his life. William found his Siren Slayer blade embedded in the asphalt, he dashed to the blade and took it out. William stored the blade on his back as he's focused on dodging, but this time he found out that he couldn't get away in time. The limbs are too close, so he did the next best thing…he grabbed onto them and held the limbs in place, he single handedly stopped two mechanical limbs of a Siren Spider tank with his arms.

"…What the actual fuck?!" Essex asked out loud.

"How did he manage to do that?!" Reno asked out loud.

"That guy is your commander?!" Intrepid asked Baltimore out loud.

"Yeah, the one and only!" Baltimore said to Essex.

The tank's limbs are strong, William even struggled to hold it in place. The tank weighed around a ton and a half, just like a car. William would've been crushed if he's only relying on his armor's mechanical strength. However, he hasn't put all of his strength into play yet, and that's what he's about to do…William groaned as he put in his all, bit by bit he raised the tank's arms, he succeeded in raising them above him in seconds. Then, William changed his grip on the arms, he moved the tank's limbs to the side, followed by its chassis, which was struggling to remain on the ground using its rear legs. However, William put every ounce of his newfound power that eventually the tank was lifted completely in the air with William as its anchor to the ground. He succeeded in lifting up a spider tank? The next one is the execution, by breaking the rules of nature.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" William roared out loud.

"Holy mother of god!" Casablanca said out loud.

"How powerful is he?!" Cooper asked out loud.

"Even his armor shouldn't be able to make him do that! Someone in HQ must've upgraded it!" Hipper said out loud.

William spun the tank, slowly at first, but eventually gained enough momentum that the nearby KANSENs and civilians could feel the gust of wind faintly. Then William jumped high upwards, aided by his jet thrusters while carrying the tank…When he reached around fifteen meters off the ground, William swung the tank, which he held and with a deep howl he threw it to the ground. The tank is thrown and slammed to the ground at high speed, while being upside down, and it couldn't do anything as its limbs couldn't touch the ground, much like a flipped cockroach. William grabbed his blade, held it downwards, and used his jet thrusters to launch into the turned over Spider tank…Just like that, William stabbed the tank's central part that housed its power generator. He pulled out his blade as he jumped off the tank, landed on the ground, several meters from the tank, and facing away from the downed vehicle. He stood up, walked toward the ship girls and the civilians as he put his blade on his back.

"Threat eliminated; area secured" Aibou sounded on William's internal speaker.

BOOOOMMMM!

The tank exploded behind William as he walked without looking back at it as he moved toward the group of civilians, many had their phones out. The KANSENs are all stunned, the commandos on the roof are stunned, the marines around the area are also stunned…all of them are in awe as they become the witnesses of history, on how one man could single handedly massacre the Sirens. William paid them no heed, their stares were a bit uncomforting, but he could just ignore them as he wore a helmet with a polarized golden visor, so at least it provided some comfort from the eyes that were staring at him. William approached the group of ship girls, though he could notice that there's more of them since the last time he stared at them. There's even Formidable, Saratoga, and Ranger alongside those he hasn't known yet.

"Baltimore, status report." William said to Baltimore.

"Sir, the civilians are supposed to be evacuated through this station, but we were trapped with a collapsed entrance and dozens of Sirens all around us. At least, until you came to the rescue." Baltimore said to William while she smiled.

"I see. Alright, direct the civilians to the side or rear entrance. Let's keep the evacuation going." William said out loud.

"Sir! Alright everyone! Let's move it while the Sirens are gone! Let's go! To the other entrances!" Baltimore said out loud.

The crowd of civilians started to move toward the other entrances, William watched them leaving then nodded in satisfaction once he confirmed that there were none left behind…save for a few corpses of them. He sighed before he turned around and looked at the unknown ship girls in the area, all of them who wore Eagle Union trademark clothing...During his trip to this location, Admiral Stanford briefed him of the general plan and strategy, Operation Eagle Storm is going well so far. Since Lucas has announced it, that means the ship girls in front of him immediately fell under his command. He better take charge of them and continue the operation; the Sirens are still present around Long Island.

"Which one of you non ALASUC members is in charge of the others?" William asked out loud.

"That would be me, sir. Currently assigned to Task Force 38, Aircraft Carrier USS Essex, reporting in!" Essex said to William as she threw a salute.

"At ease Ms. Essex…Listen up, from now on, all of you are officially members of Azur Lane Anti Siren Unit Command or ALASUC. I will be your commander starting today. Normally, we will welcome you with a welcoming party alongside good food and drinks, but let's save that for the victory celebration after this operation." William said out loud while he smiled.

"Looking forward to it, sir." Intrepid said to William.

"Excellent. Formidable, set up aerial recon to the west area. Find out how fortified the Sirens' perimeter beyond that holding facility." William said to Formidable.

"As you command, milord." Formidable said to William as she deployed her aircraft.

"As for every other carrier, deploy your aircraft to help our boys on the ground. They could surely use some fire support." William said out loud.

"Roger that. Alright girls, let's do this!" Essex said out loud as she led the others to open space in front of the station.

"Hipper and you two, get ready on the rooftop. I need you on standby for dishing out salvos." William said to Hipper, Cooper, and Reno.

"…Jawohl…Reno, Cooper, let's head back to our previous post." Hipper said out loud as she walked away.

…William stared at the station for the last time before he engaged his jet thrusters and flew up, he landed on the building next to the one Hipper and the others chose. He looked ahead and was quite surprised to see Prinz leaning on the guardrail with two other ship girls, he didn't see her during his descent into the field…Prinz smirked widely as she looked at the armored giant in front of her, his timing is quite impeccable. Just when she's contemplating on abandoning her post to help the others behind them, she hears that phrase on the all-channel broadcast…and the next thing she knows there's a huge commotion behind them, a sign that he has arrived and immediately proceeds to kick ass.

"He's your commander?" Bremerton asked Prinz.

"Ja." Prinz said to Bremerton as she walked to approach William.

"…No one said that he's a total stud…" Marblehead said to Bremerton who only shrugged at her.

"I didn't expect you to be here." William said to Prinz.

"Oh? Is that disappointment I hear in your tone~?" Prinz asked William while she smirked.

"Har har, not what I meant…So, how's it going?" William asked Prinz.

"The situation is quite dicey, kommandant. The Sirens have been quite persistent in getting back those civilians, they only retreat when it's apparent that the units which surround the civilians are wiped out…But I think that won't be the last of them." Prinz reported to William.

"Hmm…Formidable, anything worth noting?" William asked Formidable on the radio.

"Hails of plasma and laser bolts everywhere! They're advancing, I think it's their second wave!" Formidable said to William.

"Alright, pull out and save your planes, we'll need them later." William said to Formidable.

"As you wish!" Formidable said to William.

"Admiral Stanford to Knight, please respond." Stanford suddenly said on the radio.

"Knight here, admiral. What do you need?" William asked Stanford on the radio.

"Satellite scans have revealed a large formation of advancing Siren units, and they are heading toward your position as we speak. The evacuation isn't completed yet, and we need that station to remain standing, son. I've redirected all of our deployed forces on Long Island to hold the line. I trust you can command the aerial units and the KANSENs to help our boys out on the ground?" Stanford said to William on the radio.

"We'll do our best." William said to Stanford on the radio.

"Good to hear, leave the frontline ground defenses to me. Stanford out." Stanford said on the radio.

"Well, looks like it'll be another tough fight. You two, what's your names?" William asked Bremerton and Marblehead.

"Name's Marblehead sir, good to meet you." Marblehead said to William while she grinned.

"My name's Bremerton, nice to finally meet you, Commander Blaze." Bremerton said to William while she smiled.

"Likewise, you two. Let's get along." William said to Bremerton and Marblehead.

Both of them nodded their heads as they turn around and prepare themselves to face the incoming Siren forces, William walked and stood behind the girls as he stared at the direction of the approaching Sirens…William used the zoom feature that his helmet has, and he found himself grimacing at what he saw, at least twenty Siren mechs and dozens of Spider tanks are marching toward them while being screened by hundreds of Siren troopers. They just didn't know when to quit huh? The Siren troopers are easy pickings, most will definitely get caught as collateral damage, so their priority is to take out their combat vehicles.

"Alright, here they come. Carriers, launch your planes and bomb the hell out of those approaching tanks and mechs." William said out loud on the radio.

"Essex here, roger that sir!" Essex said to William on the radio.

"Vanguards! Shell them as soon as they're in range!" William said out loud on the radio.

"They already are! All units! Open fire!" Prinz said out loud on the radio.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Cannons immediately fired as hundreds of turboprop planes flew from behind them and heading straight for the Siren forces, as anyone would expect next, bombs start falling on the tanks and mechs. Many of the bombs also fell upon the advancing Siren troopers, obliterating large numbers of them before they could even reach effective range to attack the human forces. William walked to the side and looked down, he could see tanks and APCs rolling in with marines in tow as they quickly formed up defensive in line around the station. Great, they've set up shop, and they would only need to hold out until the Sirens give up the offense. The ship girls almost single handedly manage to pin the approaching Sirens, then again, that would definitely happen if an entire fleet brought down their might on an approaching ground army. With that fleet being able to move on the ground in the form of a human girl? That's even better.

"Looking good! Keep at it!" William said out loud on the radio.

"Knight, this is Apollo One. We're in the vicinity and ready for tasking, do you need some help?" Morpho suddenly asked William on the radio.

"Good to hear from you, Apollo One! Are you packed for close air support!?" William asked Morpho on the radio.

"Barely, most of us only have guns and missiles, so our target choice is quite limited." Morpho said to William on the radio.

"In that case, target their mechs! The ship girls have softened their shields and are currently pinning them down, finish them off with missiles!" William said to Morpho on the radio.

"Ten four, commander. We have them on radar." Morpho said to William on the radio.

"We're gonna ground pound them, boss?" One of the pilots asked Morpho on the radio.

"That's right. Let's show these aliens why they should look up from now on." Morpho said to the pilot on the radio.

A squadron of F-22s dived down from above while firing their guns and missiles, the missiles and the bullets impacted several mechs behind cover, which flared up or disabled their shields and forced the mechs to look up at the sky to fire at the incoming jets. The diving jets immediately dispersed and maneuvered their way to avoid intense fire coming from the ground, the mechs' weapons aren't that suitable to hit fast moving targets since the plasma bolts aren't that fast, but that doesn't stop them from trying anyway…Apollo One or Morpho flown his light blue F-22 between the buildings aggressively, he moved erratically that any mechs or Siren troopers targeting him are having the hardest time in their life in trying to shoot him down. Morpho flew up, he scanned the Siren mechs' positions before he determined his target. He flew toward the station, which caused him to fly by William and the ship girls' position for his angle of attack, his target is a Siren mech who's getting too close to William and the ship girls' position. It has taken some beatings from the ship girls, but it remains advancing undeterred.

The mech noticed him and started firing its plasma cannon, the hails of purple plasma bolts did not deter Morpho in the slightest as he kept flying closer and closer to the mech. Morpho opened fire with his cannon, tracers could be seen hitting the mech and flared up its shielding. The mech continued to fire at Morpho, who occasionally rolled the plane to avoid plasma bolts coming toward him. The continuous cannon fire eventually broke the mech's shielding, leaving its hull exposed to attack. Morpho did not stop firing his cannon, as tracers could still be seen hitting the mech's chest part. However, because it has dense torso armor, the mech kept tanking the damage like it's nothing. Morpho fired two missiles in succession, it hit the mech's chest part. Because of constant cannon fire, the armor took some beating and collapsed when it was hit by a missile, exposing the mech's energy core that fueled the mech itself. The second missile impacted the energy core seconds later, damaging it badly, and caused its structure to cave in…The mech's torso glows purple for a bit before it exploded as Morpho pulled up to the sky, only leaving a huge fireball and parts of the mech that are thrown around by the powerful internal explosion.

William and the ship girls witnessed the spectacle live, William even whistled in amazement at the show…After Operation Phalanx, William actually asked Johnson regarding the identity of Apollo One, who pulled off an impressive maneuver during their defense of Battlegroup Dakota. He's the best flyer Johnson has under his command, a veteran pilot of the Great War between Azur Lane and Crimson Axis. Originally, he operated from an aircraft carrier, riding an F-35 to battle. He's among the ones that participated in the infamous duel of the aces between Sakura Empire and Eagle Union pilots during the Great War, Dance on the Dark Blue is nickname for the showdown between two elite squadrons from the two nations, and the only aerial battle during the war where none of the pilots are shot down. William doesn't know the details regarding the duel other than the two squadrons engaged in intense dogfights then returned to their respective carriers. All of them have damaged planes in varying conditions, and none of the pilots disclosed the real reason on why there are no planes destroyed in that fight, including Morpho himself…However, there's one thing in common regarding their statement when asked regarding the fight.

'They're good' is the core phrase all of them used when asked about the duel.

"Damn Morpho, you just went and overkilled that mech! Who are you trying to impress here?" William asked Morpho on the radio as he smiled.

"What can I say? You get what you ask for, commander." Morpho said to William on the radio.

"Heh, sure thing, hotshot." William said to Morpho on the radio while he grinned.

"…Man, when can we get jets?" Essex said out loud on the radio.

"I'm sure in the near future, Ms. Essex." William said to Essex on the radio while he smiled.

"Oh don't you give false hope to us, commander!" Essex said to William on the radio.

"Hehehe, I'm sure the scientists could work something out for that." William said to Essex on the radio.

"I've got a radar warning! Shit! Anomaly above us! Dozens of Siren fighters!" One of the pilots said out loud on the radio.

"Designation?" Morpho asked the pilot on the radio.

"Raven! It's their multirole generic jets!" The pilot said to Morpho on the radio.

"Commander, be advised, the airspace is compromised. We're going to deal with the approaching bandits to ensure local air supremacy, tell the ship girls to continue their airstrikes, we've got your back." Morpho said to William on the radio.

"Appreciate it Apollo One, good hunting!" William said to Morpho on the radio.

"Roger that commander…Form up on me Apollo. Garuda? Can you take the flank?" Morpho said out loud then asked Garuda Squadron on the radio.

"Garuda One here, leave the side to us, buddy!" Garuda One said to Morpho with a cheery tone on the radio.

"Copy that, Naga. Let's get them all." Morpho said out loud on the radio.

Two squadrons of F-22s regrouped in the sky before dispersing as they come in contact with Siren fighter jets, an air battle immediately ensued above Long Island…The ship girls continued their attack at the Siren Forces, the attack is so fierce that it forced the more advanced army into hunkering down between the buildings. The vanguards didn't stop firing for even a minute, the carriers kept rotating their planes, so they could unleash all of their munitions at the approaching Sirens…It goes so well for the humans, too well, and that made William suspicious. There's something wrong about the army in front of them, William only has one simple question to validate his suspicion…Why haven't the Sirens attempted any kind of flanking maneuvers?

"Our airstrike is working; their forces are being pinned down!" Essex said out loud on the radio.

"…Something is wrong." William said to himself in a low tone.

"What do you mean, commander?" Bremerton asked William as she turned her head around in curiosity.

"Those Sirens know they're walking into a kill zone, why haven't they tried to skirt around our defensive perimeter?" William asked out loud.

"Could they be they're just feeling suicidal today? Or even desperate?" Bremerton said to William.

"No, the commander does make a good point. They're strong and numerous, but that doesn't mean they're reckless enough to throw away their units for nothing. It makes no sense, even by their standards." Marblehead said out loud as she kept shelling the Sirens.

"When did you become an expert on Siren behavioral matters, Mar?" Bremerton asked Marblehead while she cocked her eyebrows.

"It's just common sense, even they should know that throwing their mechs and tanks into the line of fire without purpose is just a dumb decision." Marblehead said to Bremerton.

"…I got a bad feeling about this. Prinz, take charge of the vanguards for now. Essex, lead the carriers and continue the airstrike. I'll be going to check something!" William said out loud on the radio.

"Alright commander!" Essex said to William on the radio.

"You realized something, kommandant?" Prinz asked William as she turned around, her rigging kept shelling the enemy behind her.

"Smoke and mirror tactics, there could be other Siren forces in the immediate vicinity that we're not aware of." William said to Prinz.

"We would detect anything on our radar if that's the case." Bremerton said out loud.

"Nein, he does make a good point. There's one thing our radar couldn't detect well, infantries, and they're impossible to detect if they're inside a building." Prinz said to Bremerton.

"That means they could already be here! Commander, you'd best get moving if you wa-" Bremerton said to William while she grimaced.

"Milord! We heard gunfire! From inside the station!" Formidable reported to William on the radio.

"Dammit! Carriers! Get away from the station, rendezvous on Prinz and Hipper's position!" William said out loud on the radio.

"Yes milord! Wait, are you going inside the station!?" Formidable asked William on the radio.

"Yeah and before any of you ask or volunteer, no, all of you will remain outside, stave off those Sirens from overwhelming our troops and breaching the front line…Leave this part to me." William said out loud on the radio.

"Well, you did show us how you massacred those Sirens like it's nothing…Go on commander, we'll make sure the area remains secured after you're done." Essex said to William on the radio.

"Got it." William said to Essex on the radio.

…His assumption is on point; the commandos surely could take on the Sirens that managed to infiltrate their lines. Still, doesn't mean he would ignore the situation, he will still go and check the evacuation progress himself. The attack you ignore is the real one, he forgot who said that, but he does take those words seriously…William summoned his GPM Assault Carbine, he held it in his hands as he turned around and stared at the station. If it's true that the Sirens have managed to infiltrate their defense line, then he better help the commandos-…Wait, the commandos haven't reported anything either, but they've opened fire! Something is wrong, they should've alerted them the moment their main objective's safety is compromised!

"Kommandant." Prinz called William.

"Yeah?" William asked Prinz as he turned his head toward her.

"Be careful." Prinz said to William with a serious face.

"It's not like you to be worried openly like this, Prinz." William said to Prinz as he smiled fondly.

"I'm being serious…Donning the armor doesn't mean you're invincible, remember that, please." Prinz said to William while she frowned.

"…I will." William said to Prinz as he nodded.

…All this time William has been around Prinz, he knows that she's not the type that outright expresses her worry. She often subtly expresses it by making multi-layered remarks, pretending not to be bothered by a problem, but seriously trying to solve it behind the scenes. She may appear cool and uncaring at a glance, but deep down inside she cares. So, when she expressed her worry openly like she just did? It means she's being completely serious, and William should heed her words…William jumped down from the rooftop, activated his jet thruster near the ground, so he wouldn't break his legs and landed smoothly. He jogged toward the station, passing by several carrier KANSENs as he tried to contact the commandos inside the station.

"This is Knight to the commandos within the station, please respond…Commandos, this Knight. Do you read me?" William tried to contact the commandos, but he received no response.

"Knight, status report, we lost all contact with the station." Stanford asked William on the radio.

"Admiral, this is Knight. We lost all contact with the commandos within the station, there's report of gunfire, but nothing else. I need some marines to come with me for investigation purposes." William said to Stanford on the radio.

"Understood. I'm redirecting a platoon to help you out commander. Meet them at the south entrance and find out what's going on in there." Stanford said to William on the radio.

"Copy that." William said to Stanford on the radio.

William made his way to the station's southern entrance and waited there; it didn't even take two minutes until the marine platoon that Stanford sent arrived on site. He studied their appearance for a bit, the marines are your standard Azur Lane Marine Platoon and armed as such. Most of them carried M4A1s, William cocked his eyebrows a bit, the marines are to supposedly carry HK416s as their standard armament ever since they made peace with Ironblood. So if they still carrying M4A1s, that means the upgrades haven't been implemented widely…Well, not like it matters too much, both guns fired 5.56mm rounds, and it could kill any infantry in capable hands…William also suspected that they will received the GPM Assault Carbine instead of the HK416 latter down the line.

"Commander, we're here to help you out sir!" The lieutenant of the platoon said to William as he saluted.

"Alright. Let's move." William said to the lieutenant as he nodded.

"Yes sir. Alright you lots! Single file! Secure the station! Move it!" The lieutenant said to his marines.

The group then moved inside the station with William in the lead, more than a few marines actually stared at William in wonder regarding his armor and weapons. They heard from headquarters that the leader of the ship girls had descended into the battlefield to fight the Sirens. At first, they're skeptical about what he can possibly do against the Sirens by himself, that is until they heard the news that said man massacred Siren infantries and single handedly took down a tank without any Anti-Tank weaponry…all by himself. That's when they know to put faith in the man, whoever he is, he's got what it takes to fight the Sirens directly in the front, and it assured many of them that the commander of the ship girls is a capable commander and a powerful warrior. William led the marines into the station, not even five seconds in, and he already noticed that something had gone wrong…

"It's deserted…and too quiet." William said to the marines.

"But, last I heard, there's only one evacuation wave out of the station, and there are thousands of civilians that should still be around here." The lieutenant said to William.

"Right, we have to assume that something has happened that made them-. Movement, twelve o'clock!" William said out loud.

"HELP ME!" A woman suddenly ran toward the marines and crashed into one of them.

"Whoa! Ma'am! Are you okay!? What happened!?" The marine that held her asked the woman.

"T-They broke through! They…they captured many of us! I-I-I've managed to escape with a few others! But the others are still there! You got to help them! Please!" The woman said to the marines with teary eyes.

"Sirens!?" The marine asked the woman.

"Yes! Yes!" The woman nodded her head furiously.

"Alright, private, escort her to the entrance. Sir, we're ready for a rescue operation." The lieutenant gave his order then said to William.

"Good, let's free those civilians…this station is compromised." William said to the lieutenant as he continued to move.

…Deep inside, William felt anxious that his assumption had become a reality. He racked his brain to discern how those Sirens managed to infiltrate their perimeter, there's no way they managed to infiltrate this station and defeat the commandos inside the station that easily if they were only relying on Siren troopers. They haven't found any of those alien corpses around as well, but as they walk even further, they start to discover signs of fighting…Bullet casings, scorch marks from plasma bolts, and eventually…dead commandos. Many of them died in a strange posture, there's no signs of fighting around their corpses…these commandos are caught off guard by the Sirens.

"Admiral, this is Knight. Station's security is compromised, Sirens are present within the building. We need a secondary evacuation method, are there any available trucks to be used?" William asked Stanford on the radio.

"We'll find the solution for that commander; you just need to get the civilians out of there and secure them from the Sirens." Stanford said to William on the radio.

"Alright. Stand by for our clear confirmation." William said to Stanford on the radio.

"Main platform straight ahead, the door appears to be locked…" The lieutenant said to the group in a hushed tone.

"Hold your position and wait for my command." William said to the marines as he summoned the beetle that Bismarck gave him.

"What's that?" One of the marines asked William.

"Reconnaissance drone, pretty handy for a situation like this." William said to the marines.

After AIBOU set up the interface, William is free to control the drone like how he controls a helicopter, using his hands as the control. His HUD also changed to transmit from the drone's camera, William briefly flies around to get used to the controls before he flies the beetle drone into the ventilation and exit into the other room to find an unexpected visual…There are around a thousand civilians, huddled together on one of the platforms, all of them are kneeling or seated on the floor even though there are no signs of Sirens around the area…Why? Are they being threatened? Then where are the Sirens? William couldn't see anything that might threaten the-. The drone stopped moving no matter how hard William yanked his control, then the view got covered by a black helmet with a slanted red visor, the feed was cut off split seconds later as William heard the sound of a crushed metal.

"Motherfucker! That was a gift!" William cussed out loud.

"…Ah...You finally came." William heard someone speak from the platform…and his voice was familiar.

"This voice…Midnight!" William said out loud as he sprinted toward the door.

BANK!

William rammed the door with his shoulder then quickly aimed at Midnight, who stood between them and the civilians, the marines behind William quickly poured in and spread themselves out while pointing their weapons at the Siren. The marines are sweating bullets because of the intel they got, they were told to not engage Midnight should they ever see him because they will only get killed. But with the so-called 'Azur Knight' by their side? They might just stand a chance…William himself felt livid and a bit nervous, he did expect that he would encounter Midnight during this battle, but he never expected it to be this soon. He kept thinking about whether he's ready to face him after being defeated easily on Furushima, the time has come for him to discard those thoughts and replace it with one goal…to win against the Siren and prove that all of his hard work for the past few months meant something.

"What's the meaning of this!?" William asked out loud as he aimed his gun at Midnight while he scowled.

"…Bait, to get you here…and you didn't disappoint, I know you will notice that something is off with how the Sirens move." Midnight said to William.

"If it's me that you want, then release those innocent people!" William said to Midnight.

"…No. They will have to remain here." Midnight said to William.

"I have to disagree; they're leaving with us!" William said to Midnight.

"…Like I said, they will remain here." Midnight said to William as he snapped his fingers.

All of a sudden, dozens of Siren troopers with black full body undersuits appeared all around the civilians. They come out of thin air and shocked William and the marines. That's why none of the civilians dared to move, so that's how they managed to get a drop on the Azur Lane Commandos. It all makes sense now. What did they use? Some kind of camouflage? Active camouflage? William shook his head a bit, he could find out why or how AFTER the threat is quelled.

"What the!?" One of the marines said out loud.

"How the fuck?!" One of the marines said out loud.

"…Try anything, and we'll have these civilians shot on the spot" Midnight said to William.

"…What do you want then? Answer me!" William asked Midnight as he scowled.

"…Simple, I want to fight you. To see…whether letting you go on Furushima is a mistake, or not." Midnight said to William as he folded his arms.

"Release them, and you'll get the fight you want." William said to Midnight.

"…No, that wouldn't do…They will stay, as witnesses." Midnight said to William.

…So, it's come to this. William has suspicion that there's no way he could negotiate for the civilians' safety with Midnight, the Sirens have never been known to negotiate anyway. Now, to free the civilians, he will have to fight Midnight, in front thousands of people, the marines, and the Sirens. The expectation is heavy, by proving that he can fight the Sirens single handedly, he's one way or another, becoming a shining beacon of hope in this war against them…He can't fail, there's no third chance if he fails here. If even after all of the enhancements he received, and he still failed? Then, safe to say, he has truly failed, both as a person and a warrior…

"…Lieutenant, you know what to do, regardless of the outcome of this." William said to the lieutenant as he walked forward and stored his GPM Carbine.

"Yes sir…good luck." The lieutenant said to William.

"Kick his ass, sir!" One of the marines said to William.

"Yeah! Teach that Siren a lesson!" Another marine said to William.

The marines encouraged him as he walked toward Midnight, William couldn't lie that he honestly feels good that he's being cheered on. Midnight nodded his head slightly as he walked forward as well, both of them stopped around five meters away from one another. Now that William got a good look at his opponent, he could clearly see the difference in Midnight's appearance, and the fact both of them are almost the same in size…So, it turns out Midnight was wearing his undersuit on Furushima, the one that stood before him now has sharp armor pieces with the Siren design aesthetic, a bit fantasy like design with jagged edges. His helmet's topside resembled a crown with a downwards triangle red gem on the forehead part just above the slanted crimson visor, his torso armor is angular looking like it's designed to deflect incoming projectiles. The shoulders, arms, and legs armor parts have sharp designs that could mitigate melee attacks while looking ominous…Overall, Midnight really looked like a dark knight in design aesthetics.

The Siren extended his right hand to the side, there's a purple light in the palm of his hand which elongated and gave off a bright purple flash for split seconds. The light died down, and in his right hand there's Midnight's Obsidian Longsword, the one that he used to break William's machete in the past. He then swung his sword to the side once before he readied his stance…Where has William seen that style before? The man quickly dispelled that question, this isn't the time for that. William took out his Siren Slayer Blade from his back, he spun the blade in his hand twice before setting up his guarded stance right from the start. He set his breathing rhythm, made sure he had a firm foothold and readied himself to receive incoming attacks…He knew that Midnight would be faster than him, hopefully William could win in power and could cleave the bastard in two.

"…This won't end the same like Furushima, Midnight!" William said to Midnight as he scowled.

"…That remains to be seen." Midnight said to William.

CLANK!

Midnight made a lightning dash toward William and attacked him head on with a diagonal slash, William, however, managed to tank his attack properly this time as he remained rooted in place despite the powerful blow that he directly received. He grunted a bit and pushed Midnight back before raising his blade and bringing it down with ferocious speed. Midnight didn't hesitate to jump back and reset his stance…Not even he had the confidence to tank William's blade strike. Midnight charged and swung his sword around rapidly, forcing William to stop and raised his sword in defensive posture. William waited patiently as he kept blocking Midnight's blade strikes, he focused solely on finding openings he could use. But Midnight stopped attacking then dashed backward before resetting his stance…William clicked his tongue in annoyance, Midnight didn't fall for his bait…or was he just too slow to act?

"…It looks like you improved." Midnight said to William.

William didn't respond as he dashed forward while swinging his sword upwards in a diagonal arc, Midnight bent his body and successfully dodged William's blade strike, however, William followed it up by a horse kick. Midnight tanked the kick using his blade, and that forced him to take a few steps back. William spun himself using the momentum from the kick and immediately went for a second strike by swinging his sword in the same manner as before. Midnight's position made him unable to dodge the blade in time, so he used his sword to deflect William's blade, the blades clashed, it produced sparks and Midnight was spared from William's powerful slash…William didn't let up as he continued his aggression as je redirected the blade to go up and bring it down straight toward Midnight, the Siren mustered his strength and parried the blade before charging at William, who staggered after having his blade attack stopped. The man saw Midnight's blade coming at him and managed to dodge it narrowly by side stepping; it caused his shield to flare up as the blade hit the protective energy field.

"…Ho, energy shielding." Midnight commented.

With Midnight overextended his form since he just made his attack, William's left hand shot toward him, grabbed Midnight by the neck, raised him up, and threw him to the floor harshly. William raised his blade and brought it down toward Midnight, but the Siren was quite elusive as he recovered quickly and rolled himself out of the way. William's blade hit the floor and cracked it, using his broadsword is quite hard against an agile opponent like Midnight, but using his wrist blades isn't an option for now…he has plans for that…William made sure that Midnight didn't stand in front of the civilian group, when he makes sure that his target is clear, William raised his broadsword once again and threw it toward Midnight with his full strength. The Siren didn't dare to block the flying giant broadsword and rolled to the side, William sprinted toward Midnight at inhuman speed and body decked him then carried him all the way until they hit the wall.

The impact caused the wall to be cracked and caused the Siren to grunt in a low tone, William managed to stun Midnight for a bit, so he didn't waste this chance. He raised his left fist and hit the Siren in the head, then he raised his right and hit him in the head again. William struck the Siren in the gut with his left fist, and Midnight grunt a bit louder after receiving such a blow, William summoned his GPM Revolver with his right hand and brought it to Midnight's head. He didn't care regarding his experience on Furushima in using guns against Midnight, because this thing could surely penetrate his helmet and blow whatever deformed brain this Siren has! William squeezed the trigger and the gun immediately fired.

SNAP!

BANG!

"Should've known!" William said as he turned around while aiming his gun.

But his hand is grabbed by Midnight who proceeds to disarm him then slide his legs, all in one second. William fell down to the floor and his chest was stepped on by Midnight…How did he fail that one maneuver? Simple, William temporarily forgot that Siren higher ups seemingly possess the ability to teleport themselves anywhere with portals. So, Midnight has been saving it up in case he really couldn't avoid any sure kill attacks. Midnight summoned his obsidian longsword from the floor, William immediately racked his brain for a way out…and he found one. There's a fire extinguisher near them, and William shot out his grappling hook toward it. The hook attacked itself to the tube, and William yanked the extinguisher toward Midnight, who only flinched a bit when the tube hit him. But William didn't do that to stall Midnight, he did that to distract him as he performed the same trick that he did on Furushima.

"Aibou, anti-flash mode." William said out loud.

"Anti-flashbang engaged." Aibou notified William.

BANG!

While Midnight is distracted by the fire extinguisher that hit him in the head, William summons a flashbang and pulls the pin. Then he throws it toward Midnight's face, having learned his lesson in holding an armed flashbang with his hand. The anti-flash is among the new updates that the HQ scientists put out, it allowed his armor to temporarily block any incoming high-pitched noise, so the flashbang won't affect his hearing. His helmet visor is already attuned to reduce the effect of the flash grenade from the start, so they only implemented the hearing part. The flashbang exploded, but Midnight remained unfazed. William is also confused since it worked the last time!

"…You're not the only one who learned from the past." Midnight said to William.

"Let's do this the hard way then." William said to Midnight with half closed eye.

It seems he has to put his backup plan in motion…William fired his grappling hook toward Midnight's face, and he naturally avoided the hook, but he won't fall for the same trick twice as he keeps bringing his sword down toward William's chest. William engaged his jet thrusters, and he successfully escaped from Midnight's feet, he immediately corrected his course and flew toward Midnight at full speed. The Siren hummed as he swung his blade toward William, that's when William decided to use his wrist blade. He extended his blades and used the left one to stop Midnight's blade swing by stabbing his unarmored right wrist, at the same time, William extended his right one to hit Midnight's head as he flew past him. The result?

CRACK!

…William jet thruster died down as he landed on the floor, and he looked to the rear…Yellow blood spilled on the floor along with a severed right hand that held an obsidian longsword, the owner of said hand looked at his lower right arm, which is slowly being covered by his armor's undersuit that stopped the bleeding. The Siren then proceeds to stare at William, what he sees is enough for William to grin wickedly under his helmet…Midnight's helmet has huge slash damage on the visor part, revealing the creature beneath the jet-black armor. His skin is as white as a Siren, and his right eye is glowing yellow, his left one produced sparks and thin black smoke…It looks to be…cybernetic, in nature…The Siren gives out low chuckle as he took the sword from his severed hand, holding it with his left and swung it a few times. William himself stood up and walked to grab his broadsword that is stuck on the wall, he easily pulled out the blade and walked toward Midnight casually.

"…Now this…is most interesting." Midnight said to William as he walked toward the approaching man.

Both combatants pick up their speed before they dashed forward and clashed blades once more, Midnight might have lost one hand, but it doesn't put any hindrance on his combat ability. William, however, became even more ferocious than before, his blows are even stronger that it caused Midnight to be on the defensive more often, his movement became faster as he was able to force the Siren to stay on his toes, and his strikes? They are filled with killing intent, each blow that's being delivered is filled with the raw desire to crush the opponent in front of him…His training, his effort, it finally bears fruit. He managed to make one of the Siren higher ups bleeds, without having to rely on heavy weaponry. Now, he has the power to take the fight to them. And he shall prove it, by killing Midnight right here and now!

CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK!

Both of them kept trading blows with one another, bit by bit, the spectators could see that William had the upper hand in the fight. Midnight seems to be mostly on the defensive, deflecting blows, or dodging then repositioning himself. William's strength and stamina seems relentless, every time Midnight relocated himself then William would soon be there and with his blade swinging…Eventually, after relentlessly attacking the Siren around the area for two minutes, William stopped himself…Something is off. Why would he just take his attacks? Midnight doesn't seem to be the defensive type, he appears to be more flexible as he can switch between offense and defense easily…heck, he can even switch his swordsmanship style on the fly too…So why didn't he attack him?!

"Come on alien, you tired?" William asked Midnight.

"…Not in the slightest…Let's see what other trick you have under your sleeves." Midnight said to William.

…Of course, the Siren is studying him! William has to do the same, so far Midnight is just as he remembered with the exception of flashbang immunity and using his teleportation skill…Well, all the more reason to kill the bastard right here and now. William raised his broadsword and dashed forward while being aided with his jet thruster, Midnight immediately raised his blade as he prepared for the attack. William swung his blade at Midnight with an upwards left diagonal slash, the Siren deflected the blade strike before using the momentum to spin and slashed William's rear side. His energy shielding immediately flared up and depleted from a single slash alone. The alarm was beeping, and William quickly spun his body around while swinging his broadsword once again. Midnight once again deflected the blade strike, used the momentum he got, and performed a spinning roundhouse kick toward William's shield-less head.

WHACK!

William's head jerked to the side after receiving that hit, but Midnight isn't finished yet. Midnight launched a barrage of thrust kicks at William's torso, William struggled to keep up with the intensity and the barrage of kicks, but he tried to mitigate the attack by using his left hand to deflect or block some of Midnight's relentless kicks. Midnight ended the kicks by jumping and performing an axe kick, William's head was hit, and he fell to the floor harshly…The man growled viciously as he rolled to the side and stood up, one slip up, and he got hit that much? He has to be careful…William raised his blade in a defensive posture once again, this isn't going anywhere. He has to end it with this next move…Midnight already lost a hand, his left eye is damaged, he will naturally be more alert for an attack from his left flank…William sighed, he got an idea, but it's a dumb one.

William fired his left grappling hook, Midnight avoided the hook easily, and William used the hook as an anchor as he flew forward using his jet thrusters. Midnight snorted as he prepared to behead William when he passed by him, his reaction was just as William had hoped for. William swung his blade as he got closer, however, William let go of his grip on his blade. The broadsword flew, and Midnight deflected it. He's surprised that the deflect is easier than he thought, so he sidestepped to the left because he realized that William didn't want to use his broadsword, he's got his wrist blades after all. But it didn't come for him, William let go of the grappling hook, grabbed Midnight's upper arm then threw him toward the wall. Midnight managed to flip himself, landed on the wall, and used it to propelled himself forward-

CLANK!

What awaits him is William's right fist which connected to his head, Midnight flew backwards, but this time with William's fist in tow. William mentally cheered himself, he took a gamble that could cost him his left limb or even his neck but it succeeded at least.

BANK!

CRACK!

William punched Midnight and slammed him into the wall, his full powered punch didn't put any dent on his helmet, but it successfully stunned Midnight. William learned his lesson, he didn't keep punching Midnight when he's backed to the wall, and instead, William grabbed Midnight by the neck then slammed him to the ground. He didn't waste any time as he sat on the Siren and then launched his right fist, then left, then right, then left, his punching speed and power picking up with each punch. Midnight couldn't defend himself, but for some reason he didn't teleport himself…is there a limit to how much he can teleport? Is there a cool down in using that ability? William didn't care, it's time to end this entire charade. It's time to kill Midnight. William unsheathed his right wrist blade and thrust it toward Midnight's neck, but he used his severed right hand to block William's blade. Midnight's feet made their way to William's neck from behind and restrained his neck, then he threw William off of him to the rear with his feet.

Midnight then raised himself up from the floor, grabbed his fallen blade, and blitzed toward William, who just made his recovery. William took a few steps backwards while dodging Midnight's blade, he then used his jet thrusters to dash backwards, buying him a few precious split seconds as he prepared to defend himself. Midnight dashed forward and swung his blade at William in a diagonal angle, William immediately seized the moment by firing his grappling hook toward Midnight's unarmored throat. The hook embedded itself, and William used it to yank Midnight toward him, the force is enough to cause Midnight to fly. Midnight had enough with the grappling hook nonsense, so he used his blade to cut the rope, but it's a bit late as he's already flying toward William. William unsheathed his right wrist blade and raised it, so he could stab Midnight with it. Midnight himself raised his blade in preparation to parry William's wrist blade. It's only in split seconds, but it felt like an eternity for both fighters.

…But the clash never happened, Midnight entered a purple portal that appeared between William and Midnight, then he disappeared from the station…As soon as that happened, gunfire could be heard all around them as the marines immediately proceed to take down the rest of the Sirens within the station…William was fuming inside, and he found himself burning in anger, how dare that fucker to run away from their duel?! This is supposed to be the time where William gets his payback after what happened in the past! William sighed harshly, he walked around to search for his fallen Siren Slayer blade. He took it and put it on his back…William then stared at the civilians who already stood up and talking amongst themselves, some even stared at him directly. The marines are already working to re-secure the station and reporting to Admiral Stanford regarding their success, William quickly calmed himself…He may not have gotten the victory he wanted, but at least the civilians are safe…

.

…Midnight landed on the cold, metallic black floor, he grunted as he raised himself while swinging his sword. But his left hand was stopped by someone, Midnight looked to his left side and sighed in annoyance as he yanked his left hand free from the one who caught it…Nyx starred at Midnight after letting go of his left hand…this is the first time he ever saw him in this state where he has shown his emotion, no doubt the cause is because he's in a fight against someone that could match him. This isn't the first time Nyx saw Midnight being wounded in a duel, but he couldn't help himself to be impressed that there's someone in this world that could do some damage to him…Of course, after receiving such enhancement, it would be strange if William still couldn't fight Midnight on equal grounds…they are-. Nyx witnessed Midnight taking out something that is embedded in his throat, it's a metal hook, which he threw onto the floor and resulted in his neck spurting out a bit of yellow blood. He snapped his fingers and created a purple portal, but before he could go, Nyx immediately grabbed his shoulder pad and yanked him backwards, causing the Siren to tumble a bit.

"Down boy, I know how it feels to be interrupted in a duel…However, it wasn't me who wanted to stop the fight." Nyx said to Midnight.

"…Ufufufufufufuahahahahahaha!" Observer Alpha could be heard giggling before laughing out loud.

"Well, someone is amused." Nyx said to himself under his breath.

"Ahahahahaha…Ah! This is beyond what I imagined!" Observer Alpha said out loud, as she stared at the yellow holographic screen in front of her.

"Go and get yourself fixed up, Midnight." Nyx said to Midnight.

Midnight snorted as he walked away from Nyx and toward the exit of the room, passing by Tester Beta who only stared at him until he's out of the room. Nyx kneeled and picked up the metal hook that Midnight had thrown, it's the titanium hook. He walked toward Observer Alpha and Tester Beta then stood as he watched Observer Alpha reviewing the combat footage of William and Midnight dueling each other, taken from one of the Sirens that were present inside the station during the battle before having its head blown off by one of the marines.

"…To think, he has become so powerful, to be the hybrid between a human and a KANSEN…This timeline is playing a dangerous game." Observer Alpha said out loud.

"Are they so prepared for every contingency, or are they just that desperate in their fight against us?" Tester Beta asked Observer Alpha.

"I think it's the combination of both…Still, I think we overlooked something else on this timeline. In every world we encounter, they are so unprepared to fight us as they spare every piece of weaponry they could use. Some are even still in their early modern age era, during the time that the humans called 'World War Two'…This world? They might appear unprepared at first, but there's one thing that's quite…anomalous." Observer Alpha said to Tester Beta.

"What is it that makes you say that?" Tester Beta asked Observer Alpha.

"Have you noticed that all the worlds we 'experiment' upon yield almost the same result? Humanity fights with whatever weapons they have, improving bit by bit, and then goes all out to make sure we are driven out of there…This one? After witnessing the humans' combat strength? The development speed is a bit unnatural; it could even be said that their advancement is jump-started early…without our influence…Granted, we haven't really begun with the simultaneous global attacks, but from our invasion here alone, we could tell that the humans in this world take our threat as maximum priority. Even going so far as to modify one of their own…as a human-KANSEN hybrid." Observer Alpha said to Tester Beta.

"Are you saying…that one of them knows about us, earlier than they should? That it gives them the time to prepare a countermeasure?" Tester Beta asked Observer Alpha.

"…Search this world's second global war archive, do they have KANSENs?" Observer Alpha said to Tester Beta, but she summoned a holographic screen regardless of her words.

"No, they don't, you should already know that." Tester Beta said to Observer Alpha.

"My mistake…I mean, their government. Form, and even name." Observer Alpha said to Tester Beta.

"…Their countries…hooo…" Tester Beta said out loud after looking at the screen.

"Found anything interesting?" Observer Alpha asked as she turned around to stare at Tester Beta.

"I understand that we focus more on this era since it's our priority, but here's something I didn't expect to find here…United States of America, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Soviet Union, China…Their countries are named differently than the ones they have now…Eagle Union, Royal Kingdom, Ironblood, Iris Orthodoxy, Sardegna Empire, Sakura Empire, Northern Parliament, Dragon Empery…Somehow along the way, their names changed while still retaining their form of government from the second global war era, their changes happened gradually...to make it more natural." Tester Beta explained to Observer Alpha.

"What makes you say that?" Observer Alpha asked Tester Beta.

"Because from what I can gather, the patterns are the same…One political party gaining enough support and momentum, enough to change their country's name…It happened in a blank period between the second global war…and this world's third global war…Furthermore, the names they chose, all originated from the other timeline not from this one…" Tester Beta said to Observer Alpha.

"Interesting…a blank period for decades, they could use that as a preparation method…But it still doesn't answer our question, who could possibly know about us earlier than they should? The timelines we're involved in are quite numerous, it could be anyone…especially those that can travel between planes of reality…someone, with our capability." Observer Alpha said out loud while she stared at the floor.

"…I'm trying to access their world wide web right now; we need further information." Tester Beta said out loud.

"Furthermore, this entire timeline…it has too many anomalous variables…Giant capital ships, advanced technology that shouldn't be possible to be accessed by their current technological levels, and now they somehow find a way to make human-KANSEN hybrid…It's still in the earlier stage, but this reminds me of…Nyx…these technologies…they felt familiar…from the ones on your timeline." Observer Alpha said out loud before she turned around and speak to Nyx.

"Well, it does resemble many things from our world…But so what? The developments are heading that way because of our same cultural views as humans. Giant capital ships? Mechanized walkers? Powerful warriors in combat armor? You want to know why the development headed that way? One answer, entertainment media…Humans tend to try and recreate many things they thought impossible to do, even more so when they have the sufficient technology to do so. Remember, this timeline and mine closely resemble one another when it comes to technological level…If you ask me, it's only a matter of time before they unlock and harness the potential of raw psionic energy, next thing we know they'll fight Sirens with 'magic'. If that happened, I wouldn't be surprised." Nyx said to Observer Alpha while he folded his arms.

"…You just jinxed it." Observer Alpha said to Nyx while she curled her lips upwards for a bit.

"Oops~, I didn't think you Sirens believed in superstition, that's a first." Nyx said to Observer Alpha while he shrugged.

"I was merely attempting humor…Regardless, you do make a good point…" Observer Alpha said to Nyx.

"…Hoho, interesting." Tester Beta said out loud.

"What is it?" Observer Alpha asked Tester Beta.

"There's no evidence nor trace I could use to connect our assumption points plus conclusion and make it a proven theory…If someone is indeed messing with us from behind the scenes on this entire experiment, then they cover up their tracks well." Tester Beta said to Observer Alpha as she swiped the holographic screen away.

"…We might need to put a few plans on hold for this world, there's an unknown variable at play that could jeopardize our experiment's result." Observer Alpha said out loud as she turned around.

"You will stop the attack?" Nyx asked Observer Alpha in a surprised tone.

"Don't be ridiculous, darling…we still have many plans in hand, one that shouldn't affect our experiments too much…This timeline is too precious to be left dormant." Observer Alpha said to Nyx as she smirked.

.

"Outstanding, we've secured the path to the field HQ. The marines outside will provide guidance for the civilians, you saved a lot of lives today, commander." Stanford said to William on the radio.

"Nah, we could do it because everyone did their part well. I just helped in some part of it, I was late, remember?" William said to Stanford on the radio.

"…Heh, alright then…Get the civilians out of that station, we've got them covered." Stanford said to William on the radio.

"…Alright everyone! Listen to me carefully! Since this station's security is compromised, you all have to walk toward the field HQ that we've set up on the east coast of Long Island! We've got marines along the way that will guide and help you! Move in orderly manners and do not panic!" William said out loud to the civilians.

"Have you seen what they could do?! How can we know that you militaries are capable of doing your job?! We've been captured twice for fuck sake!" One of the civilians said out loud.

"I've been fighting this monstrosity for months on the frontline! They are strong, they are numerous, but that doesn't mean they're unbeatable! Humanity would only stand a chance if we fight them all together! Believe in me and the other defenders of humanity! As long as we exist, then you can be sure that the fight against the Sirens will continue! We will NOT hand over this planet to those monsters! We will do whatever it takes, to make sure humanity still has its future! Cooperate with us, and we'll get you to safety! We. Will. Protect you! Have faith in our ability to fight them! Humanity is yet to be defeated!" William said out loud to the civilians.

It's natural that they would be doubting them, given after what they just saw these past few days. These people witnessed their regional troops get massacred, their combat vehicles turned into burning husks, their ships sunk to the seabed of New York's coast, their combat aircraft shot down from the sky, and their regional HQ occupied by these out world invaders…But, judging that humanity is already defeated from that alone is a fool's way of thinking! Humanity still has a lot of fighting strength left, their weapons are being upgraded, their combat vehicles are renewed, and many technologies are being developed to help with the war effort. Even now, a massive amount of humanity's fighting force is converging on the Atlantic, ready to strike when the time is right…They will take New York back and when they do, it will improve morale all across the planet in facing the Siren War.

"…He saved us twice, people! We should be grateful and get ourselves out of their way!" One of the civilians said out loud.

"Yeah, he does make a point." One of the civilians said out loud.

"Let's get out of here!" One of the civilians said out loud.

"Can we really trust his words?" One of the civilians asked out loud.

"I mean, you see how he dueled that one Siren, right? What if there's more like him? Besides, he himself could massacre them like nothing! We have nothing to worry about!" One of the civilians said out loud.

"He has the skill to back up his words, that's for sure." One of the civilians said out loud.

"Come on! Let the soldiers do their job!" One of the civilians said out loud.

"Sir! You're one hell of a warrior!" One of the civilians said out loud as they passed William.

"I felt safe knowing that people like you exist!" One of the civilians said out loud as they passed William.

"Thank god you've come for us! Twice!" One of the civilians said out loud as they passed William.

"I'll never forget your actions here!" One of the civilians said out loud as they passed William.

William only smiled and nodded his head as he watched the civilians slowly exiting the train station. He didn't need the direct acknowledgement, but damn, having these people saying their gratitude makes everything that he did feel worth it. Bit by bit, the civilians made their way out of the platform with only some remains on the backline. One woman in particular stopped in front of him with a child, William immediately assumed that she's her daughter. But why would this woman stop moving? Perhaps she wants to talk to him? Share something important?

"What is it, ma'am?" William asked the woman.

"I just want to say thank you, my daughter as well. We are grateful that you saved us all." The woman said to William as she looked up to him while she smiled.

"You two must have been through a lot. You deserve some rest." William said to the woman sympathetically.

"Thank you for saving us mister…will you…will you help me if they come in my dreams?" The little girl, no more than a decade old, asked William as she looked up to him.

"…Just think of me when they do, I'll appear and scare them off." William said to the girl after he kneeled in front of her, even then she still had to look up to his head.

"Can you really do that?" The girl asked William.

"Oh of course, they'll be so scared that they won't dare to come again…But, you have to do something first. You need to believe that I will come to help, only then will I be able to help you in your dreams." William said to the girl while he smiled.

"Okay! I'll do it if they appear!" The girl said to William while she grinned widely.

"Good girl!" William said to the girl as he headpats her, his huge palm easily did the job.

"…She's been having nightmares ever since we're captured. I hope that will ease her." The woman said to William while she smiled.

"Yeah, I hope so…Go on now ma'am, you'll be left behind by the others if you don't catch up." William said to the woman as he stood up.

The woman nodded her head while saying her thanks once again before she holds her daughter's hand, then both of them proceed to exit the platform with the remaining marines present in the building…William stared at the now empty platform, save for the corpses of those Siren troopers that were outfitted with a bodysuit, maybe their scientists could do some research on those corpses to find out how are they exactly able to camouflage themselves…William makes his way outside, glancing occasionally to the left and right as he thought on a couple of things. He saw the dead commandos, the dead civilians, and the damage around the station's interior…This is just the beginning of a long, arduous, and massive battle against the Sirens. They can't afford any mistakes, anything that could jeopardize Operation Eagle Storm will be taken care off, one way or another.

"Siren forces are pulling back! They're running with their tails between their legs! Victory is ours!" One of the soldiers said out loud on the radio.

"Excellent work everyone! Now, fortify the frontline and wait for further instructions! We will reconsolidate our army before we retake our Regional HQ! Get some rest, have a good meal, you brave soldiers earned it! All of you!" Stanford said out loud on the radio.

…William reached the outside area after a while; he could hear the absence of gunfire or explosions in the immediate vicinity. A few jets were still flying above him, and seemed to be patrolling the area, or on standby in case anyone needed air support. There are tanks, APCs, and other vehicles passing by the road all around him. The marines also still around the area, either resting, or manning their posts in a more relaxed manner. A few of them tapped their friends when they saw William walking outside, the armor seems slightly damaged, and a few parts of it had yellow patches from the Sirens he slaughtered. The marines were staring at William as he went past them, William could hear whispers or talks among them, but he couldn't care less what those people said about him. He made his way toward where the ship girls were converging, beneath the two buildings that the vanguards used as a vantage point. Many of the ship girls waved at him, and some immediately approached him as they reported the situation…

"Well, we did it. We're doing pretty well so far." Shangri-La said out loud.

"Yes, if we keep this up, then New York could be retaken in no time!" Casablanca said to Shangri-La.

"Man, what is it with you? You came and suddenly the whole thing turned for the better." Essex asked William while she smiled.

"I'm sure it's just a coincidence." William said to Essex while he smiled.

"Maybe, but still, your timing is quite perfect." Essex said to William while she grinned.

"Hey, commander, I just noticed this but…aren't you a bit taller than you normally are?" Ranger asked William.

"Hmm?" William hummed in wonder.

…Yeah! Now that he thought about it and properly observed his surroundings, isn't everything a bit smaller than they're supposed to be before he received that modification? William looked around and noted that even the girls are a bit smaller than him. William used the scanner feature and noted that Bunker Hill is the tallest one among them. He approached her for a bit, and she stood around his chest level…Well, if Bunker Hill, who stood around 178 centimeters is at the height of his chest, then he should be around…Two meters and a couple dozen centimeters at least! Wait wait wait! He's around 190 centimeters before, did he really grow that much?!

"…Oh yeah, I think I am. Must've been the effect of the serum." William said out loud.

"Serum? What, like, the one Captain Eagle took during World War Two?" Reno asked William while she smiled widely.

"…She's just a superhero nerd, don't mind her." Intrepid said to William while smiling apologetically, the man just nodded his head at her.

"…Well, I think it's similar. It does enhance my body's performance." William said to Reno.

"Cool! I never thought I'd see a superhero in real life!" Reno said out loud while she grinned.

"Commander! This is Enterprise! Do you read me?" Enterprise asked William on the radio.

"Loud and clear, it's good to hear from you." William said to Enterprise on the radio.

"Likewise. We've heard the news that the battle is won over there!" Enterprise said to William on the radio.

"News travels quick. Where are you right now?" William asked Enterprise on the radio.

"We're just returning from our patrol, figured we'll stop by Long Island to pick you up. Admiral Lena said that you are to head for the ALS Terranova after the fight is won." Enterprise said to William on the radio.

"She's that confident that we could win this one huh?" William asked out loud on the radio.

"She did say that she has faith in you." Enterprise said to William on the radio.

"Is that so…Well, we got quite the company if we want to head there, did you bring the dropship?" William asked Enterprise on the radio.

"Of course, look up." Enterprise said to William on the radio.

William looked upwards, a few seconds later the Acheron dropship appeared from the clouds and dived to the ground. The ship hovered in front of William and the ship girls before turning around and slowly descended while lowering the rear hatch. Enterprise stood near the ramp while she smiled widely. It's good to know that none of the ship girls are hurt, and William himself seems healthy. The dropship landed, and William relaxed himself…It's time to go and rest up, he has done enough for the entire day.

"Alright, get on board everyone! We're heading for the Terranova!" William said out loud.

"Cool ride, Enterprise." Essex said to Enterprise as she boarded the dropship while she smiled.

"Unfortunately, it's not mine." Enterprise said to Essex while she smiled.

"This looks like a Quinjet but bigger!" Reno said out loud as she boarded the dropship.

"Whoa…" Cooper said out loud as she boarded the dropship.

"Having fun out there, Enterprise?" Ranger asked Enterprise as she boarded the dropship.

"Just a couple of mass-produced ship patrols, nothing we couldn't handle." Enterprise said to Ranger while she smiled.

William boarded the dropship the last alongside Formidable, he walked confidently…until his body started feeling weird. He can't explain it well, but it feels like he has this pent-up energy waiting to be released, and his crotch…oh man, he just got a boner out of nowhere. William's eye then suddenly darted everywhere, toward Formidable's bouncy ass covered in her black gothic dress, to the absolute territory between Enterprise's skirt and knee socks, toward Prinz's swaying hips as she proceeds to find a seat, to Ranger's ample boobs getting squeezed by the dropship's seatbelt, to Bremerton's massive breasts, which are shaking as she turned around the dropship…Man, it would feel so good to rub his dick between those mounds of-. William shook his head, and he leaned on the dropship's wall for support, his heartbeat quickening, and his breath getting shallower…Wait, is this the after effect of the serum? It happened immediately after he's done battling the enemy?

"Milord?! Are you alright!?" Formidable asked William with a concerned tone as she tried to look at his helmet-covered face.

"I'm fine…Formidable, I just need to sit down." Oh Formidable, William hoped she didn't bend herself like that because now he gets a clear view of her breasts, and…his metal gear is even more solid.

"Are you now? I may not see your face, but I do know you're in a lot of pain." Formidable asked William while she frowned in concern.

"Don't worry…my HUD's health meter says I'm fine, it's just the after effect of the serum." William said to Formidable.

"Okay commander, let us know if you need anything. We're taking off, hang on everyone!" Enterprise said out loud.

.

…Throughout the journey to the ALS Terranova, William has been quiet and kept himself rooted to his seat. The ship girls presumed that he's taking a nap after bravely fighting the Sirens in the frontline, he must've expended quite a lot of energy in doing so, which caused his modification side effect to act up and inconvenience him. Little did they know that William has been silently suffering, he didn't want to make the girls panic or be concerned about him right now, so he's been keeping quiet about his 'condition'…It's hard to do anything when you've got an unwilling boner, and your whole body burning in lust, especially if you're surrounded by girls. William looked ahead, and his eye fell upon Bremerton's figure…what comes next is strictly not safe for work thoughts.

He looked at her nice legs. Her feet, calves, and thighs are very proportionate. Her meaty thighs would be perfect for a thigh job, he could already imagine the softness. His eye darted upward towards her massive breasts, and he immediately thought of a boobjob. The size is enough to envelop almost his entire big rod between her mounds, and damn, he bet it will feel good! His eye traveled even further upwards, Bremerton is smiling at Marblehead for something she said…Goddamn, her pink lips are so alluring, he bet it will wrap nicely around his cock, her tongue licking his bellend and prodding his urethra, with her hands giving a handjob or fondling his balls. Bremerton opened her legs for a bit to correct her sitting posture…Man, what he wouldn't give to plunge his raging penis inside her pussy, claiming her as his while pumping savagely into her, then pour his sperm inside her womb without mercy before taking his dick out, and pumping it furiously, so he could coat her delicious looking belly with his custom paint job called cumshot…William really wants to rub his dick now, but it's encased within his crotch armor, and he really don't want to shred his dignity by masturbating publicly…

William sighed slowly so Formidable, who sat beside him, wouldn't hear his suffering; it's clear that he needed to seek immediate help after they landed. He lusted after ALASUC new member for fuck sake! She seems like a nice girl too so William felt immense guilt building up within him! The dropship touches down on top of the Terranova's flight deck five minutes later, the rear hatch opens, and the passengers are slowly disembarked. William was the last one to get out, he's being escorted by Enterprise and Hipper. He tries to walk bit by bit, but his boner, which is encased within his crotch armor, really makes it excruciating for him to walk around. He couldn't even keep his balance for long with how hot his body became, and it's not because of a fever: it's because of raging lust. William didn't pay any attention, and he tripped himself, causing the man to fall on top of the flight deck. Everyone gasped and more than one KANSEN immediately approached to help him up. Lena was the first to arrive besides Enterprise and Hipper, who are escorting him.

"Will, what happened?" Lena asked William while she frowned in concern.

"Serum after effect it seems, I need to lay down." William said to Lena.

"Damn, already? Well, you immediately started fighting after taking the serum, maybe that accelerated the side effect somehow. Okay, come on, let's get you to your room." Lena said to William.

"Ha? Wait, he's not going to the med bay!?" Hipper asked out loud.

"Don't worry, it's something that can be remedied without medicine." Lena assured Hipper while she smiled.

The ship girls were confused when they heard her words, William doesn't seem healthy just from the way he walks alone, is she really that confident that whatever William is currently experiencing could be treated without modern medicine? So far, Lena proved to be someone who said things in a clear manner, and she proved that she's brutally honest in her approach (the girls still remember that sex education lesson they received from her). Most of the girls choose to believe Lena, the remainder choose to wait for proper explanation, and help escort William into his provided room within the Terranova…When Lena and William are inside, Lena said that she'll talk to him for a bit, and they require some privacy, so she closed the door to his room…William sat on the bed and sighed, walking that far with a boner encased within his crotch armor is not something he wanted to repeat!

"…You haven't told them?" Lena asked William.

"I just found out about this when I was on board a transport to HQ…I had no time to tell them." William said to Lena.

"Then I will explain it to them, will that be alright?" Lena asked William.

"…Yeah." William said to Lena while he nodded.

"Alright, stay here, I'll get you some help…I would help you myself, but given the situation we face now…I don't think it's a wise decision." Lena said to William as she touched his shoulder while she smiled bitterly.

"Got it…Hey, Lena." William said to Lena.

"Hmm?" Lena hummed in acknowledgement.

"Please call Belfast here…I trust she can help me…" William said to Lena.

"…Got it, hang in there for a bit." Lena said to William while she smiled.

…William still remembers the whole incident in Eden regarding him sleeping with St. Louis and Prinz, Belfast already mentioned it pretty clearly that should a situation where he needs sexual relief happened then she is willing to help him…But could he restrain himself if Belfast just lays on the bed defenselessly? Just the mere thought alone is enough for him to almost lose control…William waited for around fifteen minutes, he tried his best to control his urges, calming himself down, so he can have peace of mind…But no matter what he did, it feels useless because his mind kept imagining the breasts or asses the ship girls shown to him throughout the ride to the Terranova. Even his thoughts go back toward Bremerton, who sat in front of him, the thought alone heavily tempted him to fuck something. He could try to relieve himself, but somewhere deep down he felt that it's not the right thing to do…Well, Lucas was right, he felt like when he was a teenager once again, after having his wet dream and awakened himself to a sexual comfort that is known as masturbation. The door to his room was opened, and someone walked inside, it's Belfast who immediately smiled after she saw him.

"…Master?" Belfast called William as she…locked the door.

"Hey Bel." William said to Belfast.

"Madam Lena has briefed me regarding your condition. I shall help to ease your discomfort." Belfast said to William while she smiled.

"I'm glad that you're willing, but…I could lose control of myself Bel, I felt like my control is slipping by the minute." William said to Belfast while he frowned.

William really couldn't trust himself in this state, he is glad that Belfast is willing to help him concerning this matter, but William feared that he would lose control somewhere along the way, and in that state, he could hurt her. That's the last thing he wanted to do, and the reason why he's being hesitant despite the solution in front of him…Belfast smiled widely as she approached William, who sat on the edge of his bed, while still wearing his full armor, she sat beside him and placed her left hand over his armored right.

"Master, I believe you won't. Despite your changes, I believe you're still the same man that I know." Belfast said to William.

"…Are you sure?" William asked Belfast in an unsure tone.

"I am…If I don't like what you are doing, I will stop you. Does that put you at ease?" Belfast asked William while she smiled.

"…Alright then…I'll go take a shower." William said to Belfast.

"Understood." Belfast said to William.

The armor really needed to be washed, but William figured he could do it later. For now, he went to the bathroom, removed his armor pieces then undersuit before finally taking off his helmet. William briefly looked into the mirror to inspect his face…His hair somehow grew a bit, and now is colored dark grey, his pupil turned into a glaring red color. Well, if anything, he has become even more handsome now (Personal Bias), and surely, women would appreciate his looks. A brief pulse in his groin reminded him about his priority and then he turned on the shower, soaking himself in cold water to calm his mind, since his dick couldn't get down at the moment…Alright, Belfast is willing to help him out, so he should take it easy and make this enjoyable for both of them.

…After washing himself for ten minutes, William dried his body with the available towel…Now, he's squeaky clean and free of grime. William walked out of the bathroom naked, with what he's about to do, putting on clothes is only being counterproductive. Belfast sat by the edge of the bed, and her smile was quickly replaced with a surprised gape as she stared at what William had between his legs…It certainly received the effects of the DNA Mod as well. Standing erect was a twenty centimeters beast with throbbing veins, William's main gun is more than ready for some heavy 'combat'. Belfast quickly regained her composure, however, as she patted the spot beside her, and William quickly followed her instruction. He sat beside her and Belfast moved as she got in front of him…She got down on her knees, spread his legs apart a bit, and stared at the erect cock in front of her.

"Does it hurt?" Belfast asked William.

"Yeah…being hard without consent is quite painful. Please help me with it, Bel." William said to Belfast.

"As you wish, master." Belfast said to William while she smiled.

Time for the head maid to go to work…Belfast took off her gloves and put it on the night stand beside them before she went and touched William's erect dick. She caressed it slowly, moving her fingers up and down in a slow manner. After waiting for some stimulation, William unconsciously let out a low moan as finally his penis got some relief…Belfast carefully studied William's face as she gave him a hand job, she modified her speed and grip strength to measure his reaction. Based on her observation, William doesn't seem to be affected that much with the way she jerked him off, so she moved on to the next part…Belfast took out her breasts from beneath her clothes, she scooted closer toward him before squeezing his penis between her soft and plump breasts.

"…Boobjob?" William commented as he looked downwards.

"As the head maid, I have a very diverse array of skills. Including sexual pleasure." Belfast said to William as she started to move her breasts up and down.

"How about experience?" William decided to ask Belfast.

"…Only once, master." Belfast said to William.

"…Who was it?" William asked further.

"…The former base commander…" Belfast said to William in a low tone.

Ah him, honestly William forgot that he's not their first commander. So, he already got serviced by Belfast, huh? William got no problem with that…But suddenly, something sparked inside him, he felt uneasy and a bile of anger slowly bubbling inside him…Wait a fucking second, did he just feel jealous that the previous commander was serviced by Belfast ahead of him? What's with this blind jealousy?! William's mind said that he had no problem with that since Belfast is not his girlfriend or anything, but his heart almost raged at that thought…Holy shit, did the modification also caused him to be THAT territorial?! Huh…He shook his head sideways to clear the thought, he should focus on the action that's going on between his legs.

Belfast's boobjob is simply magnificent, she definitely knew how to pleasure men. Belfast fully utilized her large breasts, sandwiching William's cock in the middle as she alternated between moving her boobs up and down at the same pace or moving her individual boobs up and down alternatively. William realized one thing, he felt no signs of any incoming ejaculation, and that's when he knew something was up…Belfast had been going at it for five minutes, but William didn't feel the sensation of his sperm slowly pooling in the base of his penis. Looks like the mod also increased his endurance in this matter. Well now he realized that he needs more stimulation to reach ejaculation…

"Bel." William called her name.

"Yes master?" Belfast asked William as she looked up.

"Suck the tip." William said to Belfast.

"Understood." Belfast said to William.

Belfast lowered her head, opened her mouth, and put his glans inside. The man groaned in pleasure, now he's really feeling it. The shaft of his cock sandwiched between a pair of soft tits, the glans is inside her warm mouth, being slowly licked around, and occasionally sucked…William quickly noticed that his composure is failing, his breathing got shallower, and there's this sense of impatience welling up inside him. Fortunately, before he could say anything else, Belfast stopped using her breasts and slowly took his penis deeper inside her mouth until he felt the tip bumped into her warm throat walls. Belfast keeps moving until her lips hit the base of William's cock, then she starts to bob her head as she deepthroats him like a pro.

Watching the head maid bobbing her head between his legs, the warm wetness covering his penis, the euphoric sensation he felt as the maid wrapped his cock with her mouth, the sensation is really rousing him. He couldn't help himself placing his left hand on Belfast's head and subtly pushed her head toward his dick, to make sure she could put it in as deep as she could into her mouth. William has experienced it before, but now he's certain that Belfast's blowjob is simply out of this world, and he might grow addicted to being serviced...A few minutes later he could feel his sperm welling up within the base of his cock, looks like he's about to cum.

"Bel, I'm about to cum." William said to Belfast.

She only looked up, not stopping her movements even for a bit. Belfast then took his cock out of her throat, keeping the head inside her mouth, and stroked the shaft furiously. William gritted his teeth because he didn't expect that fierce assault as his sperm quickly traveled along his shaft, then with tremendous force he shot out his cum inside Belfast's waiting mouth…The first load came out like a jet and took the head maid by surprise with how much he let out in a single shot. Sticky, hot white cum quickly filled her mouth, and it didn't stop there. Belfast couldn't swallow his cum before William shot out another stream of sperm inside. By now, the amount of cum in her mouth has exceeded her capacity, and it's starting to leak out from the side and under her lips.

William's eye rolled up a bit in sheer pleasure, with the addition of finally being able to relieve himself, the DNA Mod amplified the amount of sperm he could produce. Also, instead of shooting out small burst ropes of cum like a normal male, he ejaculates in a long continuous stream of semen that shot out of his urethra with intense pressure. The Mod certainly upgraded his physique, making it sufficient to breed with a KANSEN…Belfast was about to pull her head away from William's penis, but the man sensed it and used his hand to keep her steady as he ejaculated inside her mouth. Belfast, knowing that she couldn't win against William's new found physical strength, decided to entertain his wish by allowing him to cum inside her mouth further…A few seconds later, William stopped cumming, and he pulled out his dick from Belfast's mouth. He then grabbed Belfast by the jaw, raised her head a bit, and used his fingers to open her mouth…He could see that her mouth was filled to the brim with his semen, the white liquid swirling inside her mouth as the head maid stared at him in wonder, what would he do next…

"…Swallow it, Bel~" William said to Belfast while he smirked a bit.

Belfast closed her eyes and started to gulp down William's cum, the man stared in a sense of delight and perversion as he could see his sperm bit by bit going down Belfast's mouth, he could see her throat convulsing as she drank his sperm slowly, and she make a loud gulping sound every time she swallows it…A few seconds later, Belfast drank the last bit of his cum, William witnessed her mouth become devoid of any sort of white liquid that filled her mouth to the brim few seconds ago. Belfast extended her tongue out, to prove that she swallowed her master's potent seed and left none behind.

"Good~" William commented as he grinned and released his hold on her jaw.

"…Are you satisfied, master?" Belfast asked William as she wiped the leftover semen around her mouth.

"Not quite…I want to put my dick inside of you." William said to Belfast.

Damn, he opened the faucet a bit, which resulted in the dam being broken, as he lost his composure and gave in to his lust. Oh, he wants to fuck her, to taste her vagina, and cum inside her…Wait, what's left of William's almost nonexistent self-control suddenly chimed in. Didn't he remember what Lucas said before the modification? He could get the ship girls pregnant now, he shouldn't cum inside them, especially when they're in the middle of a mission like right now! But his horny and lust driven side immediately took over and trampled any self-control he had to bits. Eh, getting a maid pregnant? Come on! What master hasn't fantasized about impregnating his own maid? He's surely going to take his shot today! Belfast nodded in understanding as she removed her shoes and got on top of the bed on all fours, she stared back at William, who's biting his lower lip as he checked out Belfast's supple ass.

"I have dedicated my whole body to serve my master. Please use me as you see fit, my body is yours." Belfast said to William while she smiled a bit.

William didn't waste any time the moment he got her consent, he immediately climbed on top of the bed, placed himself behind Belfast, and started to massage her butt cheeks. The head maid let out small moans of pleasure as her master continued to rub her ass, William noted that her ass is as soft as he remembered when he ordered her to sit on his thigh. Soft, plump, and springy…man, he wants this ass to sit on his face…Oh wait, he's got plenty of chances to do that later, he better get to the main event right about now.

William took off Belfast's clothes then threw it somewhere around the room, he found the small clasp for her collar on her nape, which he immediately unclasped and took off her metallic collar. Next, he quickly worked on her sleeves then her thigh high socks…In less than a minute, Belfast was stripped down all the way until her panties were the remaining clothes on her body, her soaked to the brim panties. William stared for a bit before he took her panties off as well, revealing her beautiful reddish pink pussy and her anus. The sight immediately caused him to rise, and it's not for the national anthem. His cock immediately throbbed as it became eager to be buried inside Belfast's drenched and inviting vagina. Without warning whatsoever, he lined up his penis with her vagina and rammed it inside, spreading her pussy lips, quickly expanding her vaginal walls apart to fit his size, and his bulbous tip immediately kissed her soft, slightly gaping cervix deeply in one go. William's rosy glans pushed a bit further which spreads Belfast's cervix open, exposing her inner womb to his convulsing urethra that's leaking precum profusely.

"Ahn!" Belfast couldn't help herself to moan out loud.

"Guh…Bel, you're so tight!" William said to Belfast while he gritted his teeth.

It's only now that he's in close proximity that he realized, Belfast is…somehow so small! Like he could actually envelope her with his body if he laid on top of her! Is that how much he has grown? Because he couldn't before…so it's true that he's now at least two meters tall. The warm sensation wrapping around his cock immediately reminded him that he's got a job to do, so he started to thrust slowly in and out of Belfast, while his hands grabbed onto her waist…William spread her legs apart a bit so he could comfortably thrust into her, then he started to pick up his pace. He made sure he got a good view of the action, watching his cock going in and out of Belfast's vagina, which is being spread apart nicely, lewd squelching noise could be heard with each movement his penis makes. Belfast's vaginal walls tightly gripped on William's cock, giving firm squeezes toward his shaft and her fleshy warmth making it downright comfortably arousing. Each thrust into her causing his glans to ram at her gaping cervix and lubricating it with his precum.

"Ahn…master…you're so big~" Belfast said to William while she stared backwards.

"Yeah…you're squeezing me so tightly Bel…did you train your lower half or something?" William asked Belfast as he continued to thrust her.

"Uhn…Ah…Yes…a few times." Belfast said in a low tone.

"You masturbate?" William asked Belfast while he smiled.

"…Yes…master." Belfast answered in a low tone.

"You're quite the naughty maid…then again, I'm not complaining." William said to Belfast while he smiled.

"Oh? I'm…glad that you found my vagina, satisfactory~" Belfast said to William while she smirked.

"Ugh…this room isn't sound proofed Bel, better keep it quiet…I'm going to increase the pace." William said to Belfast.

Belfast grabbed the pillow in front of her and stuffed her face in it to somehow muffle the moans coming out of her mouth. William feels his sperm welling up again, and this time he could feel that he's going to shoot a lot of it. The man put his weight on Belfast to subtly nudge her to lay down on the bed in the prone bone position, a signal which she quickly got as she did just that. William then continues to fuck the head maid who laid below him, his hands moved to massage her breasts and kneading them slowly. The man gets close to the part between her shoulder and her neck, he playfully bites the left side, and that earned him a muffled moan coming from the head maid…William slowed down a bit then slowly buried his entire length into Belfast, the head maid widened her eyes as her master's penis kissed her cervix and goes even further, spreading her cervix open easily. William grunted a bit before he put his entire cock all the way to the base into Belfast's pussy with a little jerk, his glans opening her cervix to fit it before his glans went through, effectively burying within Belfast's womb directly.

"NNNNNNGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" Belfast screamed out into the pillow that's covering half of her lower face.

William felt warm liquid hitting his dangling balls and drenching it completely, he knew Belfast just climaxed. That caused her vagina to tighten hard, and William had to stop because he couldn't move his penis without some difficulty. The man chose to look back a bit, and he smiled, the head maid squirted out a lot as she wet the area of the bed behind her…Glad to know he could satisfy her, he always has confidence in his sexual prowess. Belfast limped into the bed while panting, it's been a while since she reached orgasm, and it felt good…Cumming from masturbating and from sex felt different somewhat, Belfast felt a pleasure she hadn't felt before, and safe to say, she wants more. Belfast honestly thought that William wouldn't mind doing more sex in the future with his condition…Not that she attempt to satisfy her own libido by taking advantage of him, it's just that the situation happens to be most favorable for both of them.

"That felt good Bel?" William asked Belfast while he smiled.

"…Yes…I didn't expect…it would make me come that suddenly, to be honest." Belfast said to William as she controlled her breathing.

"First time having a cock jammed so deep, huh?" William asked Belfast.

"It is my first time, master…" Belfast said to William while she smiled slightly.

"Well, good to know…My turn I guess, I want to cum too." William said to Belfast.

Belfast widened her eyes a bit when William started to move again. Honestly, her pussy was still sensitive after she came, and William wasn't exactly being gentle with his thrusting. He rested his head on Belfast's right shoulder, occasionally grunting into her ear as he buried his cock deep inside her vagina. He could feel his thick cum slowly bubbling on the base of his cock, he's about to ejaculate. Alright Will, just like Lucas told you, in this situation, you should cum inside…Wait, no, that's not what he said! William widened his eye; he couldn't exactly describe it, but it felt like he's losing any sense of rational thoughts as he sped up his thrusting. It's like a fever dream, his mind struggles to tell his body to pull out and cum outside, but his body is insisting on cumming inside, to fill her cunt with his seed. Where did these thoughts come from?! He honestly felt scared because he knows he's losing control of himself! He could feel his semen slowly traveling along his shaft, better warn Belfast about this! Maybe she could get away if he warned her!

"Bel, I'm about to cum…" William said to Belfast…Wait, he didn't…he couldn't make up the words to warn her…he felt very reluctant to do so!

"Alright…please do it outside…I'm currently ovulating, master." Belfast said to William.

What a perfect situation to test his sperm! He should've known since her cervix felt soft! Hearing Belfast being at her peak fertility caused William to shudder, his cock hardened to the limits, and his urethra convulsed excitedly while it keeps leaking precum as prelude to his rapidly approaching ejaculation. She didn't know that William is currently engaged in a raging battle within himself, but when he hears that it's not a safe day for her, his rational side is defeated almost instantly. It felt like his lust had completely taken control of his head, like being a spectator as something else drives his body! None of his rational side of the mind could command his physical movement, he could only think with his lower half, and it screamed at him to shoot his now potent sperm inside the head maid's ovulating pussy! William then thrusted into Belfast as quickly as his hips could move, his heavy testicles swaying wildly as it hit Belfast's clitoris repeatedly and causing the head maid to moan loudly.

"I'm cumming inside, Bel!" William suddenly said to Belfast, surprising even himself internally.

"What? Ngh! But I told you, I'm ovulating right now. Ahn! If you cum inside me, I'm going to conceive a baby! Ahn~!" Belfast said to William with her eyes widened amidst her moaning.

"Well…you better start thinking of a name!" William said to Belfast.

With that declaration that caused him to internally scream as he tried to stop his physical body, William went balls deep inside Belfast. His glans forcefully opened her cervix and nestled inside her fertile womb; William gritted his teeth as he could feel his urethra convulsed before a jet of hot, gooey, sticky white cum shot out of it with intense pressure. William groaned in pleasure as he lustfully creampied Belfast, her uterine walls is drenched white and hot semen quickly filled her baby chamber. William pulled back a bit before he thrust deeply again, bringing more cum out of his scrotum, and intensifying his ejaculation. Belfast's ovulating womb kept being filled until it eventually started to bloat with the amount of cum pooling inside of her, William relished every second of him dumping a breeding load inside the gorgeous head maid

…Belfast's ripe ovum, that her left ovary ovulated this morning, sat prettily as billions of her master's modified sperm swim towards it. William's virile sperm quickly surrounds her ovum, easily fertilizing it and mixing his genes with hers. William successfully impregnated Belfast and their child's conception begins with her freshly fertilized ovum…Yet, William kept sending his massive load of semen inside the head maid's fertile cunt, he instinctively wants to be sure. William felt satisfied knowing that Belfast is conceiving their offspring at this very moment, the thought only aroused the man further as his cock hardened while it spews out thick semen.

"Ohh~…Bear my child, Bel…" William groaned in pleasure before he told Belfast.

William reared his hip back for a bit before he jammed his penis balls deep inside Belfast once again, unloading the rest of his cum into her overstuffed womb and causing some of it to squirt out of her vagina. Belfast mouth is agape in a combination of shock, confusion and arousal as she made a long erotic moan. She couldn't help herself but to climax once again when she felt warm liquid filling her lower stomach, a slight bump could be seen where her womb is located as proof to just how bloated hers is containing all of William's deposited semen…

Her mind raced as she started to think about what will happen in the future. Belfast needs to plan out many things, now that she's possibly going to carry a child, she wonders how will the other girls react when they know that she's the first to get pregnant with his child, and…Oh no, Hood will most certainly be angry at her somewhat, she's his official lover after all, and here she is fucking her boyfriend and conceiving his baby ahead of her…Belfast felt that William had stopped pouring out his sperm inside her womb, his urethra leaked several small spurts of cum before stopping completely. Belfast could feel his cum sloshing around inside her with the slightest movement, there's noticeable weight on her lower stomach. William also kept his glans jammed inside her cervix, preventing his cum from just freely spilling out of her pussy.

Wait…it's true that her ovum could get fertilized now, but it would still need to be implanted within her womb in order for her to get pregnant. If not, well, she simply wouldn't conceive a child despite her egg being fertilized. Then, there's also the implantation process which is not always successful, there's many factors that could result in implantation failure. In reality, getting pregnant is not that easy…Well, Belfast wouldn't have to worry too much about it at the moment, what's important now is for her to help William in controlling his libido and make sure his modification after effect lessens as much as possible.

"Master…You really trying to get me pregnant" Belfast said to William as she stared at him.

"Urgh…Bel, I'm sorry! I'm losing control of myself!" William said to Belfast as he started to move again.

"Ahn~! Master~!" Belfast exclaimed as he grabbed her.

William's modification allowed him to replenish his sperm at a lightning quick pace, so he could basically keep having sex as much as he wants, the modification has allowed his testicles to work faster than the average human male. His stamina upgrade also allowed him to keep going almost immediately after ejaculating, making him unparalleled both on the battlefield and in bed. William grabbed Belfast and flipped her, she gasped a bit in shock before being replaced with a moan as William pinned her down from above, driving his cock inside her vagina in a mating press position.

He didn't waste a single second and pumped his cock in and out of Belfast creampied cunt. William fondled Belfast's boobs for a bit before squeezing them together and sucked on both of her erect pink nipples at once; it didn't squirt out any milk now, but he'll be sure to change that tonight. Belfast could only moan in bliss in having her vagina roughly fucked by his twenty centimeters meat rod and both of her breasts being sucked at the same time. She's bathing in pleasure, and honestly speaking, she likes it very much. It's going to be a long night; she doesn't know how strong William is in bed, especially after his modification…

…It was ten at night when William decided to end this relief-sex-turned-into-baby-making-session, both William and Belfast couldn't speak anymore as they have expended all of their energy, only moans of pleasure and low groans could be heard between them. William pounded Belfast's pussy in missionary style, his hands massaging her tits, he could feel he's close to cumming as he increased his pace…Without warning, he jammed his penis balls deep inside Belfast once again then sprayed her overstuffed and bloated womb with his fresh cum, filling her for the last time.

…He lost count how many times he has come inside her, but he does know this is the end since his pelvis is sore like hell…and his libido has finally calmed down. William finally pulled his dick out of Belfast; it's heavily coated in semen and a thick cum string connected his penis with her gaping vagina before snapping. Immediately after that, huge torrent of cum immediately flooded out of Belfast's well fucked and impregnated cunt. Her vagina convulsed as it kept pouring out thick semen for a while, it soaked her crotch and the bed beneath her.

William laid down beside Belfast, and that's when he noticed it, both of them were sweating like hell and the whole room was a mess. Puddles of bodily fluids could be seen on the bed, floor, and even some got on the walls…Bah, someone will clean the room later, and hopefully, when he's out because he certainly couldn't stare at them in the face due to embarrassment. He could already imagine the janitor grumbling under their breath as they complain about the room's occupant being 'sexually active'.

William was about to speak to Belfast, but then he realized that she had fallen asleep. She's still naked, drenched in sweat, and has a splatter of cum coating her lower half, but she looked satisfied as she fell asleep with a smile on her face. William couldn't help but to shrug, looks like he's going to be a father…nah, he wouldn't know until Belfast took a pregnancy test. Wait, if he's so reluctant, then why doesn't he tell Belfast to use birth control pills tomorrow morning? William did ponder the question, but…he doesn't know, Belfast maybe won't take the pill if William didn't say anything. Because if she indeed conceived one, it'll be the first child coming from a KANSEN and safe to say, they are damn important in the grand scheme of things…Not like William has any intention to use his future child as a political chess piece, he wants them to grow like a normal one despite this whole situation…

"…I'm thinking too much…" William muttered to himself as he stared at Belfast's sleeping face.

He's sure that he'll think of something in the future, he needs to inform Lucas regarding what happened…Nah, scratch that, he has to take some kind of medical checkup immediately, figure out what's happening to him. When he had sex before, it's like he lost control of himself. Despite his mind screaming to ejaculate outside, his whole physical body ruled with the raw intention to breed…He needs to figure out what's happening, because he can't just impregnate ship girls left and right during the duration of Operation Eagle Storm! He decided that he'll do that tomorrow, so he chose to sleep for now. William took some tissue from the pack on the nightstand, he cleaned his cock then he used the blanket to cover up Belfast first before tucking himself underneath it and fell asleep straight away…

…Little did he know that the two rooms beside his are filled with a bunch of ship girls themselves, and they heard everything that was going on inside, from start to finish.

.

"You did what?!" Lucas asked out loud with a shocked face.

"I don't have to repeat myself Lucas, I've told you what happened loud and clear." William said to Lucas with half closed eye.

"I mean, I did tell you not to do that but…to think you've thrown everything out the window." Lucas said to William as he looked to the side.

"Have you ever felt like you're overtaken by something? To be a back seater as your body moves on its own?" William asked Lucas while he frowned deeply.

"No, it must be scary to experience that, though." Lucas said to William.

"Yeah? That's what happened to me, and look what I did? The ladies are giving me awkward looks this morning! No doubt they knew what's going on!" William said to Lucas while he frowned.

It was the most awkward breakfast he experienced to date, not even the breakfast after he got busted in a threesome can compare to the atmosphere during their meal this morning. The girls didn't ignore him, they did speak with him if spoken to, but most of them are content on being silent while staring at him. Who knows what goes inside their minds, but William could predict that they must've felt awkward after hearing him and Belfast mating last night. How did he come to that conclusion? Well, voice control went out the window on their second round and onwards. It is to be expected, especially with ship girls occupying the rooms next to his…William was a bit surprised that Lucas came to the Terranova at noon, but he immediately consulted him regarding his condition, and Lucas immediately escorted him to the med bay to get William checked. The doctors on board one way or another have been 'briefed' regarding his condition…

"Hah, well, nothing we can do about it…So, doctor, what's your conclusion?" Lucas asked the doctor who examined William.

"…Okay, after reviewing all of the data and samples we got, I could safely say that William Blaze here is a healthy man." The doctor said to Lucas.

"So, no anomalies or anything out of order with my body?" William asked the doctor.

"Not…exactly…Well, I'll explain this bit by bit. First, your sperm sample…Sperm cells usually die quickly when exposed to normal room temperature, even in this lab's condition, it shouldn't survive more than an hour…yours, did, even after two hours of being exposed to an open-air environment." The doctor explained to William.

"Wow, they're some little troopers." Lucas commented as he stared at the doctor.

"This is an example of your common human male sperm cell. You can see the oval shaped head and one smooth tail…And this is yours, Mr. Blaze." The doctor said to William as he showed him a picture on the tablet he's carrying.

William and Lucas both looked at the tablet. On the left side is a picture of an average human male sperm cell, the shape is identical to an ordinary sperm cell with the oval head and smooth tail. William looked to the right, and he widened his eye, the cells that he stared at are quite different. First of all, the shape of the head is like a wide arrowhead, and the tail? There's three of them, all moving at once…Honestly speaking? William is both unnerved and afraid, it's as if he's staring at an alien life form that's now part of his body, and it's pretty important for him…With him, the only one who has the power to breed with a KANSEN right now, seeing the anomaly right now is draining him mentally.

"…Holy shit. Will, yours are diamond shaped…and the tail, there's three of them!" Lucas exclaimed in an astonished tone.

"Yes. We theorize that the additional tails help in the movement of the sperm, the sharper head might be to aid in penetrating the ovum walls, and the cells are also more resilient in nature so less of them would die during their journey…In addition, your ejaculation volume also increased substantially, which means any ovulating normal human female that you ejaculate inside, will most likely get impregnated from a single ejaculation. It's not one hundred percent, but the chance is high." The doctor said out loud.

"…What? It's potent with normal humans as well?" William asked the doctor in a shocked tone.

"The chromosome in the sperm cell-" The doctor said to William.

"Stop. Please explain it as simply as you could." William said to the doctor as he raised his hand to stop him.

"Then yes, it is. Effective both on humans and KANSENs. But we're not sure whether your new genes will pass on perfectly to your offspring from a normal human female or not…Also, regarding your hormone production. If your body is under heavy stress both physically and mentally, the production could affect your state of mind. Being in combat will make you more aggressive, but that will also ramp up your libido, which will heavily affect you when you're done fighting. I suggest that you have sexual intercourse after a full day of combat, it should help in managing your stress levels and libido. Normally, I'd suggest you not to do anything stressful during the duration of this overflowing hormone production, but since it's your job we're talking about…That's what I can suggest without hindering your work." The doctor explained to William.

"That explains how you are being controlled by your dick." Lucas said out loud.

"Your new physiology also includes a mutation that causes your metabolism to be heavier than the average human. Your new body needs a lot of fuel, that's why you find yourself easily getting hungry or thirsty. At the price of getting a superhuman level of physical strength, stamina, and performance, you will have to consume more food and drink more water. Fortunately, based on the report I read, that shouldn't be a problem for you. I'd recommend high calorie and high nutrient food if you have to eat less, maybe some nutrient blocks." The doctor explained to William.

"…So, William here is basically a breeding bull?" Lucas asked the doctor.

"You're not wrong with the analogy." The doctor said to Lucas while he shrugged.

"Lucas, shut the fuck up for a bit!" William said out loud while he scowled.

"Whoa, okay, no need to get pissed!" Lucas said to William as he raised his hands up in surrender.

"…Doctor, any long-term risks I should be aware of?" William asked the doctor.

"I think there are some." The doctor said to William.

"…Lay it on me." William said to the doctor in a low tone.

"You need to have sex…or at least, masturbate, several times a day after any heavy activity. If you don't, it could result in you experiencing unwanted ejaculations. The chances are greater that when you sleep, you will experience a wet dream…Well, that's something that theoretically might happen, that is if you didn't give in to your lust first…Regarding you losing control of yourself during sex…I'm afraid I don't have the answer for the cause of that behavior, I'm sorry." The doctor explained to William while he frowned.

"Is that so…" William said to himself as he looked on the floor.

…So, there's nothing he could use as a clue on answering 'Why did I want to breed so much?'…Generally speaking, it's a problem when he's horny most of the time after he finishes fighting the enemy. Yesterday, he felt fine during the battle, power surging through him, and he could take on anything. But after the battle was over, his horny side immediately took over, and damn, he really didn't want to experience that again. And that's the reason why he didn't wear the crotch armor despite wearing Serpent Armor right now. It's being modified by the onboard engineers to allow his 'unwanted boner' to be in a comfortable position when he's on the frontline. It's one of the oversights in the armor modification, but at least they are quick to fix the problem.

"One more thing, there's something that we detected through an MRI scan, but we can't quite explain it…There's a possibility that this second 'puberty' might leave a lasting impact. There's a chance that you could experience a shift in personality." The doctor said to William.

""…What?!"" William and Lucas said out loud.

"It's just a possibility at the moment, we still don't know if it will happen or not." The doctor said to both of them.

"What kind of personality shift are we talking about here?" Lucas asked the doctor while he folded his arms.

"We don't know, it could possibly be anything…we are still in the dark regarding many of the psychology matters, we can't for sure predict whether the change will happen, or will it become something for the better or for the worse…Regardless of what might happen, you may want to ask your associates and closest people to start taking notes regarding your habits or mannerisms. If there's a change, then they could possibly detect it early." The doctor briefed the two men in front of him.

"…Thank you doctor, could you give us a minute?" Lucas asked the doctor.

"Sure, I'll be taking my leave." The doctor said to Lucas.

The man stood up and left the examination room…Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose as he felt the incoming headache, now they know the consequences in making a gamble against something unknown to them. He looked down to the sitting armored man and noted that William has a grim face, he looked shaken and seems to be conflicted after hearing about the potential of him shifting his personality…He already changed physically; his hair became dark grey, his pupil turned bright red, and now there's a chance he could totally become a different person? If the explanation and the view of his sperm didn't drain him, this info surely did the trick…He did agree with the solution, but he never expected the consequences to be this heavy.

"…So that's the price, huh." William said to himself in a low tone.

"Will, I'm really sorry." Lucas said to William as he touched his right shoulder.

"…Don't be…I decided that I will take the serum, it's on me." William said to Lucas while he frowned.

"But still, I was the one who proposed this! What if the change happened, so drastically that we can't recognize you anymore? What if you went insane or even lost control of yourself? What if this change could result in you hurting the people that you hold dear?" Lucas asked William while he frowned.

"…If that really happens, let me ask you for a favor…Kill me." William said to Lucas as he stared at him, his eye is full of determination and absolution.

"You want me to kill you?!" Lucas asked William with a shocked tone.

"If there's no other option, I want you to stop me…No matter what…This power is useless and meaningless, if I use it to hurt the people that I love and should protect." William said to Lucas.

Lucas didn't bust his ass and take the heat to get William out of jail just so he could kill him! Lucas is very conflicted with his request; however, William didn't show any sign of hesitation when he said that, and Lucas forced himself to accept his wish…William chose to accept the serum because he knows that he will get the power he needs to protect those he cares about. If that ends up in him hurting those people, or even killing them? Then it's all for nothing, if he can't be trusted with this power then it's better that he's dead, so his loved ones wouldn't die by his hands. William can't bear the thought, the guilt could even force him to end his life by his own hands…But just for a safe measure, in case he chickened out, he needs someone else to help him…Lucas is that man, he knows Lena will be conflicted to pull the trigger…she may be ruthless, but William knows her well enough that if it's someone she cared about, Lena could still waver in making her decision…

"…I understand…If something like that really happens, I'll do it…I will be hated by everyone, but that's a price I'm willing to pay. You've done so much for us; I will return the favor should you need it." Lucas said to William with a tone full of conviction, he's going to hold this promise.

"Thank you, Lucas." William said to Lucas while he smiled a bit.

After that, with nothing to do, William heads back to his room which has been cleaned sometime this morning. The bed sheets are fresh off the laundry, and there are no traces of last night's mad fucking all around the room. William took off his armor, and now he's buck naked. Damn, he doesn't feel great, but at least this time it's not because of physical matters, he just needs some time off to think things through, so maybe he will take a nap now. William tucked himself under the blanket and closed his eye, when nothing goes right, go to sleep…He drifted off for a few hours then William opened his eye, it immediately opened wide, however, as there's someone who stood in front of him. A humanoid encased in black armor and with a slanted blue visor…

"…Heh, it becomes easier to talk with you." The humanoid said to William.

"…Nyx." William said to Nyx with half closed eye.

"Hey there mate, it's been a while. And before you fret regarding my presence? Don't worry, I'm not really standing in front of you, I'm just a…visual representation that your brain conjured." Nyx said to William.

"How is that possible?" William asked Nyx while he scowled.

"Well, the answer is a bit complicated, filled with philosophical horse shite and other mumbo jumbo I'm sure you wouldn't care about. But the shortest answer I could find is, psionic link." Nyx said to William while he folded his arms.

"Psionic? You're telling me that all of this happened because you are connected with me, using psionic power?" William asked Nyx.

"It's more complicated than that, but let's just put it that way." Nyx said to William.

"…What do you want?" William asked Nyx.

"First off, let me congratulate you for taking the first step in becoming a human-KANSEN hybrid-" Nyx said to William in a cheerful tone.

"Thanks, moving on, what do you want?" William cut Nyx off and asked him once again.

"Huh, same hard ass as when we first met…Okay then, the reason I'm contacting you right now? Is to give you a warning." Nyx said to William.

"Warning?" William asked Nyx.

"…Let me search it…Ah yes, your doctor's appointment this noon." Nyx said out loud as he tapped his left temple.

"What!? How did you-" William asked out loud as his eye widened.

"I can read your mind, psionic link, remember? I could know how enjoyable Belfast's tight pussy was as you impregnated her last night~" Nyx said to William with a smug tone.

"Stop." William said to Nyx.

"Or when you made love with Hood after your date? Shame you didn't have the enhancement at the time, you two could be blessed with a child now if you did." Nyx said to William.

"No! Stop!" William said to Nyx while he scowled.

"Or…your unbridled hatred toward this terrorist known as Ronald-" Nyx said to William-

"STOP IT!" William shouted with all his might.

The room he's in briefly shook, and Nyx himself looked around as he hummed in wonder for a bit. The tremor gradually stopped a few seconds later, and Nyx stared at the ALASUC Commander who's still seated on his bed and scowling at him…He doesn't like it when his privacy gets breached, no one did. And, having his memory or feelings unwillingly known like that doesn't sit well with him, especially if it's Nyx who did so. After waiting for a bit, Nyx chuckled lightly as he walked closer toward William, approaching his right bedside and tapped his right shoulder.

"…I was just trying to make a point, no need to get pissed." Nyx said to William in a calm tone.

"What is this warning you talked about?" William asked Nyx as he pushed Nyx's hand away from him.

"…You've gained her attention, William. Observer Alpha, and by extension, the Siren higher ups." Nyx said to William as he walked away.

"And so what? You're going to kidnap me?" William asked Nyx while he scowled.

"Oof, such accusation! No, I believe the Sirens don't work with such a crass method. I believe they will conduct tests on you, I'm not sure about the method though, so you have to be prepared from now on." Nyx said to William.

"Tests? What do you gain from that huh?" William asked Nyx.

"Not me, the Sirens will, and I don't know what they will gain from that…since I don't know the details yet." Nyx said to William.

"You speak as if you're not part of them, why?" William asked Nyx.

"I'll let you figure that one out yourself. You might not be the brightest person, but I believe you're not as dense as a neutron star…A word of advice from me though. You need to have patience and resolve, you're in for a long fight, make sure you don't break down before the storm passes." Nyx said to William as he stared at him.

"Long fight? You don't know that, Nyx." William said to Nyx as he narrowed his eye.

"Oh trust me, Will…I know." Nyx said to William in a low tone.

Then the Siren snapped his fingers, William felt his consciousness slipping away, and he's slowly being covered by darkness all around him. William then slowly opened his eye and saw the bedroom's ceiling on top of him, he sat up from his bed, and noted that Nyx is no longer in front of him…Huh, so it's really true that he's only there because he's connected to his brain using that psionic power? If he could do something like that, then Nyx is someone he has to be very careful of. He could invade William's mind and mess with it as he likes, he really doesn't want to face him directly or even outside combat...he still doesn't know the true extent of Nyx's power, but something tells him that Nyx isn't your average Siren.

Nyx donned their armor and seems to be in contact with them in some capacity. How else can he get the info he's given to William? He must be in contact with Observer Alpha. But if Nyx is a bona-fide Siren, then why did he help him by leaking information or giving hints? Why work to undermine the Sirens' effort if you're one of them? Though, he never mentioned that he's part of the Sirens. He always mentioned the Sirens as 'The Sirens', every action that the Sirens will or have taken? Nyx mentioned it with 'They/them', and when William asked him about it, he only mentioned 'I'll let you figure that one out yourself'…Is he a sleeper agent? But from who? Humanity itself? That doesn't make sense, Lucas or Erich would've notified him the moment they got intel regarding Nyx. Is he a sympathizer to humanity's cause among the Sirens? Doesn't seem to be the case. He didn't lead any Siren forces in the frontline, but he has access to what the Sirens higher ups are planning? He must have an important standing within their ranks…What is his purpose? What is he aiming for by helping William? Then there's those words…'Trust me, I know'…Is he a survivor?

…William has more speculation, but he decided that for now he will treat Nyx as a wild card. Until his allegiance and purpose are clear to William, he will take his words with a grain of salt. Something to be mindful of, but don't let it occupy his brain's thought process 24/7. Besides, he didn't really give him a lot to go on, the Sirens want to experiment on him? Then safe to say, he can't be captured. Who knows what those things are planning for him, William couldn't imagine that it'll be anything enjoyable in the slightest. Regardless of everything that just happened and the risk it may possess, William wants to report this to Lucas and Lena, both know how to keep their mouths shut, so there's less chance that the Sirens could find out that their plans are leaked…Nyx may be risking his life in delivering the information, to see further development, William decides to keep the info tight between the people he trusts completely. Little by little, he'll uncover what Nyx's role is in this war…But William secretly hoped that he could be his ally…maybe he could spill everything regarding the Sirens, then they could start formulating a plan to defeat them for good…

.

Belfast sighed as her urine immediately shot out of her urethra, she just woke up and is currently sitting on the toilet of the room she shared with Formidable. She put a pink device in the way of her pee then put it on the sink next to the small stand near the toilet. Belfast spread her legs apart for a bit to wipe her crotch with the toilet paper and flushed the toilet…A week has passed since the start of Operation Eagle Storm, aside from the occasional skirmish along the frontline set up by two sides, there hasn't been any massive fight across New York or Long Island. Humanity is assembling their forces on the Long Island eastern coast, in preparation to make a push to the New York Regional HQ. As primary support, the Seraphs alongside Sakura Empire mechanized walkers will have a major role in the upcoming aggression. They are being prepared to help the main force in breaking the Sirens' Long Island front, it looks like the Sirens will prepare themselves as they have set up defensive emplacements around the New York Regional HQ.

Simultaneously with the major push on land, they will also commence a massive naval assault to take down Orochi. Almost all of ship girls on Eagle Union's Eastern Coast have rendezvoused on the ALS Terranova and will be participating in the assault, they are the key in defeating the Orochi…The mass produced ships alongside the Terranova will provide a saturation attack against Siren mass produced ships and pave a way for the KANSENs to face Orochi, the carriers will make sure the sky is clear, the cruisers alongside destroyers will keep their position secured from any approaching Siren KANSENs, and the submarines will make sure nothing underwater could threaten their formation…That leaves their battleships who will pound Orochi from a distance…Eagle Union's Big Sevens have arrived yesterday, and the three of them immediately agreed to the plan. Enterprise will be coordinating the KANSENs with Amagi as the advisor. But William is here? Then why didn't he take command of them to assault Orochi?

It was the dilemma that Lucas himself had trouble with: William is ALASUC's leader, but the ground assault will definitely need his participation. Lena herself will be the one who leads the ground assault, Lucas will be in charge of commanding the ALS Terranova and the massive fleet. In the end, William decided that Enterprise will be in temporary command while he's away. He still has confidence that she can lead the others ship girls well, and with Amagi by her side? They could be a force to be reckoned with…William did apologize that he couldn't be there to lead the girls, but all of them understand that William's power and skill could be utilized to its maximum potential in ground fights. It's only temporary anyway, at least until the grand assault of New York, and William did decide to bring three ship girls with him for the fight. The assault will start in two days, it'll be the day where the operation will be decided whether it's a success or not.

…Anyway, Belfast's thoughts go toward her master. William has been…quite famous among everyone who participated in this battle, maybe even the whole world, who closely monitored the situation here. There are videos on the internet that showed how he mowed down Siren troopers, Brawlers, and even Siren KANSENs single handedly. There's the infamous Spider tank throw where he jumped high into the air, threw the tank back to the ground, stabbed it with his giant broadsword, and walked away from the explosion like an action hero. There's even a video of him dueling against Midnight that's taken by one of the civilians being held inside the station, and that included his speech which the point being 'We're not done yet, we can still fight, and we'll do it as one!'…There are many fan-arts of him popping out on Portxiv and other sites, there's art of William as he strikes a pose both unarmed and armed with his signature weapons, being outnumbered by dozens of Sirens, but he held his ground with confidence. There's a few where he led the ship girls and when he interacted with the marines or the armed forces in general…It's war in the 21st century where everyone basically has their personal camera, of course there would be a lot of reference photos that could be used.

Lucas was quick to use the situation as a way to boost morale all across the planet, and it's not just William whose figure littered the front page most of the time, there are few others that performed incredibly that they are seen as a hero as well. For example, everyone now heard that there is a deadly airborne predator with the name Morpho who's riding a light blue F-22 Raptor. Whenever his colors are seen in the sky, the ground forces have confidence that the air battle with the Sirens will be won that day. The moment both William and Morpho are sighted at the same time? Then the soldiers could safely say that the day is saved when both heroes are fighting in tandem. One kept the sky safe while the other made sure the Sirens couldn't mess with them on the ground, there are many more than these two…but so far, the both of them are the ones the people across the world knew the most.

William has been especially working hard, he spends the majority of the day being busy. Forming up plans with Lena and Lucas, going on a patrol to help with a few stragglers on the frontline, he led ship girl patrol groups to help with fleet security by taking out any Sirens that got too close to them, and spending his time with the new ship girls that just joined ALASUC. There is lots of pent-up frustration and pressure he gathered during the day, one which he took out on Belfast by night. Actually, a few other girls have volunteered to help with Belfast in relieving William's insatiable lust from the modification. They have heard the details regarding the modification, and all of them are determined to help William with the side effect. He has done so much and bravely made some bold decisions in the war against the Sirens. The ship girls respected him, and they wanted to ease his burdens. They didn't want the man to collapse from overwork.

However, Belfast has made it clear with everyone that until there's a clear result, she can't let the other girls have sex with him. Belfast made the first step, and she wants to be absolutely certain that his sperm are…potent, before she can clear the others to help with their commander. At least, if anything goes wrong, it would only be Belfast who has to deal with the consequences. It's not like they didn't trust the scientists' work, it's just that they're still dealing with the unknown here, so better be safe than sorry…A few did suggested condoms or even birth control pills, but unfortunately the supply of those items regarding sex and pregnancy around the ship are very limited because they're just carried as precaution not necessity, something which Lucas made note to remedy in the future. Since the original ship's occupants are using them, it'll be better if the ship girls didn't use the items. They're just visitors after all…Belfast has been pretty tired recently, she has been excused from fighting in the front temporarily, due to her night duties. Of course, with how rough William pounded her pussy every night-.

Belfast shook her head, the memories are coming back, and her pussy is starting to get wet. After experiencing such carnal pleasure, the head maid didn't want to stop doing this, she wants to keep having sex with her master…she has become quite the naughty maid, lusting after him and wanting to be in his embrace all night. Belfast took the test pack that she put away before, and she inspected the result…Two red lines…Positive…Confirmed…Belfast is pregnant…Her ovum, which has been fertilized by William's sperm, has been implanted within her womb…She's officially carrying his child now…It works, the genetic modification works.

"Well…I figured this will happen…" Belfast said to herself in a soft tone.

She briefly caressed her lower stomach softly while she smiled, then she stood up, and exited the bathroom. Belfast noted that Formidable is still sleeping comfortably, Belfast only smiled at the sight as she got ready for the day. She reentered the bathroom with a towel, took a brief shower, combed and dried her hair, put on her maid uniform, stored the test pack within her pocket, and exited the room to get some breakfast since she's eating for two now. Then after that, she will wake William up, and then she will break the news to him. The other KANSENs, who rose early, greeted Belfast in the canteen, and they could immediately tell that something was up with her.

…Because Belfast won't stop smiling the entire time, and they will know why soon.
