So far reaching hundreds of reads! Making my second highest viewed story!
Wow... Thanks for that! It really makes me smile that I am not just some author whose know for RWBY Reaction Fic writer.
Now, I got some new chapters planned... OVA Chapters! To know more, please read at the end of the chapter.
Silence on the islands, outside the base from where the Azur Lane enters, the other forces of the Red Axis are still awaiting at the night.
One of them standing on a small hill forest, it is none other than Ayanami, and Nimi standing by. Along with them are Kawakaze, Gneisenau, and Scharnhost. Ayamani stared at the base, glancing at the other areas, seeing other Red Axis being positioned on certain places. Graf Zeppelin, Joffre, and Foch are seen from a distance, then more other groups. They are all waiting for Kaga, who is inside the base already interpreting the enemy.
Suddenly, a loud bang occurs, an explosion they've heard at the base, the sound echoes outside. Everyone out there is immediately alerted to their stances. The battle has started!
Inside the base, Orochi's roars echo the cave. Prince of Wales immediately makes the first move, firing from the cannon straight onto Orochi's head. An explosion emitted, everyone starts to move fast, multiple projectiles fired all around the enclosed space.
Hornet notices Commander might be in the crossfire, she rushes and grabs him. Javelin and Laffey saw and rushed to follow her. Javelin deflects some blaster fire coming.
Meanwhile the Prince of Wales continues firing, but through the massive cloud of smoke, something rushes out... Wales was grabbed at the neck before she could react! Then she was slammed at the cave wall, causing her to scream in pain!
Her screams cut short, gagging... Her widened eyes gazed at none other as Orochi snared at her. Its clawed fingers gripped harder, as the same sharp tips slowly stabbed her neck...
An energy arrow hits Orochi, recoiling its head, letting go of Wales, who dropped down coughing in pain. Orochi turned to see that Enterprise was the one firing the arrow. Orochi roars at her, charging at her as Enterprise heads off running through the chaos, and onto the water gaining a huge speed boost.
Cleveland notices as Orochi roars at Enterprise, who now starts to chase her, landing on the water, standing like it was ground and then... Speeds up! Rippling the water surface, Cleveland was surprised to see that thing... That thing can do what Kansen does!? She realized Enterprise needs help and rushes off to help her.
Colombia, Denver and Montpelier notice her sister makes a run outside, they follow her immediately. Shoukau notices but she turns to avoid a shot fired by Washington who looks battle ready and angry at the same time!
Meanwhile the Commander was sent to take cover thanks to Hornet, Javelin and Laffey. Behind the massive computer, they witness the Azur Lane are now taking defensive cover from the incoming airplane assault, destroying every cover.
"Commander, what do we do!" Hornet yelled in worry.
"We all try to leave!" Xavier stated. "You take the others outside!" He pointed to the opened entrance.
"What about you!?" Hornet exclaimed.
"I'll find another exit!" Xavier replied as he turned... Someone grabbed his hand, he turned to see Javelin was holding it and is with Laffey.
"We're coming!" Javelin determined.
Not wanting to respond due to the battle, they must act! Xavier yells at a certain maid... "Belfast! Smoke em!" He yelled.
Belfast behind cover, hears this and nods at her master. She then turns to gesture to Sheffield, who immediately understands. Then Sheffield jumps... Kaga, Zuikaku and Shokaku saw her... Before she tosses some out... Grenades... Flying at them...
Kaga's eyes glows flaming blue, summoning a blue plane she swiftly swings destroys the grenades... Until a massive cloud of smoke swarms them! The three cover their faces upon the cloud of smoke... Kaga recognized the smoke! She quickly clears it out with a swing... They are gone, as the cloud is gone...
She turns to the opened cave entrance, instantly she calls the comms, "Graf Zeppelin, do you have sight on the targets!" She demanded.
"Yes... But, another battle occurs long before they step out." Her voice responded to Kaga's call. She knew what she was saying...
As proven outside... Many explosions occur on the waters and islands. Enterprise stakes the waters, whilst Orochi pursues her, like a cat chasing a mouse. Then Cleveland and others soon follow them out, those are the ones that the Red Axis notices and tries to attack...
But since Belfast's smokescreen... The rest of the Azur Lane arrives, Prince of Wales is being protected by Sheffield and Belfast. Washington and North Carolina then faced Gneisenau and Scharnhost. Graf Zeppelin then summons her airplane fighters to bombard the waters.
Cleveland notices the rest of their team arrives, Hornet comes to them. "Where's the Commander?" She asked.
"Got off route." Hornet replied. "Javelin and Laffey are with him." Then she notices the battle is ongoing, notably Enterprise is fighting Orochi. "I can't believe such a thing..." She remarked.
"Yeah... But right now, we need to help her!" Cleveland exclaimed which Hornet agreed, the two along with others chased after Enterprise.
At the entrance, Kaga, Zuikaku, and Shoukaku emerge outside, she notices the battle envelope, but sees no sight of the Commander... With that, she speaks to a different channel, "Kawakaze, your squad, find the leader." She stated.
From afar, Commander is being guided by Laffey and Javelin through the woods, and reaching another base. Javelin slashed down the fence, as the three ran onto the grounds. Just then, multiple shots fired, in front of them, ceasing their run. They turned around to see the three...
Ayanami, Z23, and Kawakaze, arrived, the first two slightly surprised Javelin and Laffey, but only a moment given they are aware they are on the Red Axis. But seeing them right now... Enemies...
"Commander! You have to go!" Javelin yelped as suddenly, Ayanami clashed, her sword and her javelin sparked upon contact. Laffey then runs to the side, avoiding the gunfire by Z23. Xavier sees the battle unfold, and advises what Javelin said and continues to run off, but Kawakaze the remaining one chases him.
Javelin notices but is struggling by Ayanami's strength. Her look of betrayal shows as she exclaims, "Why do you do this! We are friends, Ayanami!" She pleaded.
"..." Ayanami stared at her, she said nothing.
"Ayanami!" Javelin with a tearful expression.
"...Sometimes... War changes us." Ayanami stated, before delivering a push kick at Javelin knocking her afar. The spear girl crashes on the ground, leaving slight bruises before narrowing dodges a slash.
Javelin gritted, then glancing at her friend, Laffey, who avoided all Z23's blasts, which infuriated her. "Laffey! You are holding back!" Z23 remarked.
"I... Don't... Want to hurt... Friends." Laffey sorrowingly replies.
"None of that matters!" Z23 yelled as she continued to aim and fire at her. Javelin and Laffey get knocked back onto each other. Then Ayanami launched a torpedo onto the ground, exploding near the two, launching them both, crashing onto the ground.
"Aaahh!" Both Javelin and Laffey grunted in pain, weakly stood up. They are slightly more bruised up as clothes got slightly dirty despite being caught in the explosion.
Ayanami stood beside, readying her stance, Z23 did the same, aiming her riggings. "This is where you two decide, either fail or surrender." She stated firmly. "What you're doing is hopeless... Please, choose the latter. Commander would not want to see this."
Javelin grunted again, as she gripped her spear tightly... She spoke with strong hate, "...No." She and Laffey get up, readying themselves. "We won't give up!" She yelled in anger at them. "You two, don't understand about Commander... He will tell all of us to push hard!" She panted her breath... "Why do you do this?!" She exclaimed.
"..." The two remained in silence, looking a bit sorrowful, but that was gone as they hardened their expressions, which made Javelin heartbroken...
"Ayanami, Nimi... " Laffey spoke up which surprised her, "We know you are doing for Commander... We will do our best also..." She said with a muttering tone, "But... We will fight... For him... In our own way..." She affirmed. Javelin sees her determination, nodded to her as they prepare themselves.
Z23 and Ayanami listened to their words, while expressions looked conflicted, then she spoke, "...So do we." She replied as she and Ayanami charged Javelin and Laffey who charged back, they won't hold back this time...
From slight afar, the battle occurs, Xavier is inside the base. He stops for a moment to look for a way, then sees downstairs of the docks! He is about to run, until he senses danger! He dodged, but his shirt was slightly cut by Kawakaze's swift swing.
He rolls to the fence near the stairs, getting up. Seeing Kawakaze standing and glaring at him, he quickly jumps over the fence behind him, landing on the stairs and running down. Reaching the floor and seeing some empty boats that must've been emergency ones, he goes there...
But Kawakaze landed in front of him, blocking his potential escape. Xavier stopped, and slowly made a combat stance. Her eyes gaze hard, not showing signs of intimidation by his defensive stance, not even caring at the sight of his gauntlet flashlight.
...Waiting for the first move... Xavier, raised his gauntlet up... ...Subdue! Kawakaze's eyes lit up, blitzing more than a human eye can see... Readying her katana...
Blam! An energy blast occurs!
Kawakaze gets sent flying by a big blue blast, she slammed her back into a wall, cracking upon impact, leading a scream of pain. Before falling onto the ground, and knocked out.
Xavier pant in relief, his gauntlet suddenly sparked, revealing the flashlight glove he wears is also a plasma weapon! The sparks continued to emit, which he quickly jerked his arm, and shook the gauntlet off. Landing on the ground, before it made a small explosion.
This shows why he didn't use it the entire time... It was a one-use... Seeing the ruined experiment, he sighed, then saw the unconscious Kawakaze. He can't leave her...
He needs information...
Outside, Cleveland, Hornet and others are still chasing Enterprise and Orochi. Avoiding the water blasts from the above planes, lucky the anti-air turrets on the riggings deal with them.
Enterprise, still dealing with the monster robot humanoid, lets it follow her onto the smaller rivers of the islands. Then stops near the end of the river, a big lake, standing firm, aiming her bow... See Orochi coming right now... She takes a small breath, readying herself...
Orochi comes with a feral charge, coming closer... Enterprise releases the arrow... It hit... Right at Orochi's knee as it was about to bend... This hit staggered heavily upon the behemoth, causing it to trip on the water, splashing.
Now's the chance! Enterprise lunges at the falling Orochi, she summons a plane from her rigging. Hopping onto it like a flying hoverboard, the plane flies above then turning around to the recovering robot. She fires an arrow onto the back of its head knocking down again. Then she jumped off the plane, flippin and landed in the water with her feet. The plane came down onto Orochi as it exploded.
Enterprise sighed, upon seeing the flaming destruction on Orochi despite the flame being still there on the water surface.
"Enterprise!" Hornet's voice gained her attention as she turned to see her sister arriving with Cleveland and her sisters. Just as she reached up with her, she stopped nearby, her eyes widened at something behind her...
Enterprise knows who is coming, she turns to see Orochi walks off the fire... Its mask slides open, showing its red glowing mouth and set of dark metal teeth again. It fully roars, before its back glows red... Two more skeleton-like robots emerged out of its back, making snarling noises as it crawled down, then to the water.
The girls expect Enterprise, nearly recoiled by seeing this, but knowing they must fight it... They attack! Cleveland, Denver, Columbia, and Montpelier deal with the skeletons, while Enterprise and Hornet face Orochi.
Enterprise comes first, continuing to fire arrows at Orochi's head, at this point it irritates it a lot. It marches closer, which she counters with a smack from her end of the bow. The blow merely flinches it, then it sees another swing, but it grabs her bow, before swinging a bunch on her face, knocking her back greatly.
Hornet, surprised, unleashes her fighters which fly above taking turns firing down onto Orochi. But they were mere distractions as Orochi unleashed a flame breath from the mouth, burning the planes down. Surprised by this, she quickly makes her move, jumping over the flame by Orochi who's turning its head at her.
Meanwhile, Cleveland fired at the skeletons who were crawling on arms and legs like insects, avoiding their cannon. This annoyed and creeped her, what kind of Sirens are these?! She thinks as she continuously fires at one of them, while the others deal with the second one.
Hornet's arm is grabbed by Orochi, its grip hurts her, as she delivers a kick, but it does nothing to it. Orochi keeps gripping, while Hornet kneels in great pain as she moans, she stares up at Orochi, gazing at her with no emotion through its expressionless face. Then Orochi kicks her face, knocking her down. Seeing her in the water, its arm transforms into a cannon, aiming at her...
Then an arrow hit on its head, letting go of her. Enterprise arrives, though injured by the punch she keeps going. Her aggressive look occurs, she keeps firing repeatedly, which Orochi blocks the shots with its arms to prevent it from coming at its face. How many times did she shoot it in the face?...
The skeletons, one of them pinned Denver down, its hand transformed into a spike blade, and is about to stab her... Until Cleveland shot her cannons directly at the face, the skeleton recoiled, and got launched then landed on the land with its missing head as the body twitched.
"Thanks sis!" Denver sighed as she was lifted up by her older sister.
"Don't get hopeful yet, Denver!" Cleveland assured as she understood. Then the second one was dealing with Columbia and Montpelier. Its tall and lanky appearance makes it hard to kill... Until the two got assistance from Cleveland and Denver, fired all of their arsenal, it completely destroyed it, as parts sank in the lake. They now learn that, despite their strength and agility, they lack durability... Suddenly, they heard a punch, they turned to see Orochi had punched Enterprise's waist, causing her to spit out and grunt in pain. She clutches her stomach wound, slowly getting up... "Enterprise!" Columbia exclaimed in panic.
With no hesitation, Cleveland makes her first move, she runs at Orochi, guns blazing. Unlike those skeletons, the shots did nothing as it walked towards her. However, it grabbed Cleveland, tossing her away. Montpelier comes second but Orochi kicks her into the edge of the lake. Denver and Columbia separate, circling around Orochi, firing their cannons. Still nothing, the shots are merely spurted like flat sparks upon contacting its armor.
Orochi then transformed its arms into cannons, and one shot from each, hit them, which caused them to be knocked out. Hornet slowly gets up, recovering a bit from her injury. Then she sees Enterprise has got up, and tries to fend off against the tall foe. It grabbed her bow... Crushing it, snapping in half, Enterprise's eyes widened. She tries to counter, but it grabs her fist.
Try to strain off... But Orochi's claws, immediately stabbed underneath her arm. She screams in pain, but Orochi slashed her waist, pushed her back... Then, Orochi dishes a strong punch at her face... The punch sent her to the edge of the lake, crashing into it, as rock and dirt flew off.
Her wounds start to bleed... Enterprise is gasping for breath, her eyes going hazy, staring at Orochi who's walking slowly at her... Then in front of her... She looked up, losing her strength, Orochi's left hand turned into a large blade, raising up...
Hornet's eyes panicked, with adrenaline, she gets up and runs at Orochi, summoning her planes charging at the robot. Exploded on contact, she hopes to swoop her sister and... And...
A sharp pain occurs through her... She looks to see a blade stabbed through, Orochi remains standing as smoke from the explosions remains, unfazed. Her attack and save did nothing...
Enterprise who saw the whole thing, her eyes once showing dull, goes tearful, her body language stammering. "H-Hornet!" She exclaimed. No... No, no, no, no, it can't be... As she sees Orochi's other arm transforms into a cannon that's glowing purple...
Hornet's gaze turns to her, as she weakly smiles... "Sis... I..." She muttered.
"NO!" Enterprise fretted.
Then Orochi aims the cannon and fire, purple energy consumes Hornet, as her yells are muffled by the blast. The purple energy emitted a shockwave that erupted around the islands. It disengages its blade, dropping Hornet on the water, her body goes limp, colors faded... Just like Hood...
Enterprise's eyes slowly went into tears, she gritted her teeth. Her fists clenched and shook rapidly. Hornet... She can't speak... Her mind is filled with sorrow... And rage... Seeing only the water, Orochi's foot stepped near her... She prepares to finish her next...
Then her eyes flashes, rapid visions within a second once appearing and a second disappearing again... All she could glimpse... A flaming ocean... A white hair woman, looking away, then turns to her... She looked... Just like her... Similar outfit... But it's battle-worn... Her same violet eyes staring at her...
Suddenly, Enterprise's entire body glows yellow and dark... The sudden glow halted Orochi's strike, staring at her... Cleveland and her sisters slowly get up, and suddenly witness the upcoming event...
Xavier is on his boat, with Kawakaze beside him... Strolling on the river... Until a massive energy wave is coming, he quickly brace for impact as the energy shockwave passes through them. Nothing happened...
He looked confused, what's with the sudden energy occurrence...? Then suddenly rapid explosions erupted on the highest mountain on the middle island. A massive beam of dark purple energy surged through the island, this looks like trouble...
Xavier proceeds to turn the boat motor to full speed... He's going to find out what's happening...
Kaga, Belfast, Wales, Graf Zeppelin, others, even from the other area where Javelin and Laffey are fighting Z23 and Ayanami, they all stopped when they felt the energy shockwave… Once it surges through them, a sudden feeling strikes them once caught in the wave…
All of them are affected by this wave, a sense of dread. Even if they paused their fight, this effect hindered them greatly. Then the effect is instantly worn off in a second. They are confused by this sudden surge…
Javelin, Laffey, Ayanami, and Z23 halted their fight, until something crashed in the middle of the group. The impact launches them, with Javelin seeing it was Orochi, pinning down… Enterprise?!
She was roughen, lost her hat, her white hair looks dirty and dull as her attire is a bit damaged. Her eyes glow red, despite being grabbed, she uses her legs, warping Orochi's arm, then a simple twist causes the robot to be flipped on the side, launching it away onto the ground.
Javelin and Laffey couldn't be more shocked, same with Ayanami, and Z23. Orochi gets up and attempts to swing a punch, Enterprise swiftly ducks by kneeling, and spins to deliver an elbow strike on its leg, staggering it on its knee. It tried to slash but she leaned back, avoiding the strike. Then Orochi swung down its hammer fist, but caught by her, before fully yanking it, throwing the big mech onto the ground, cratering it.
It got up again, Enterprise charged, as Orochi grabbed her by the shoulder, throwing with full strength, it tossed her to the warehouse of the base, damaging it. But a second pass, the hole she crashed into, glows purple as Orochi readies itself, but is quickly rammed by a dropkick of her who suddenly appears before it can react. As the two are knocked afar into the river.
Javelin and Laffey can't believe it… Seeing this happening… They immediately followed them, Z23 and Ayanami notices they are going, and chases after them.
Once they arrived on the battlefield. The Azur Lane and Red Axis continue to battle once more, but they now see Orochi Vs Enterprise, as their battle scales more than theirs, looking pale in comparison. It continues to slash her down, but dodge after dodge, she then swipe kick its leg, letting tit trip down,on hands and knees. She delivers a high kick stomp on its head.
Kaga witnessing this first hand, she is also surprised, Zuikaku and Shokukau realize this. "Grey Ghost…" She muttered.
"She's fighting Orochi… Equally…" Zuikaku was surprised, speaking with a quiet tone.
"Her aura…" Shoukaku remarked, "It's the same feeling from…" She recalled the shockwave.
"Yes… Her power is awakened again…" Kaga replied, she saw this when Commander was with them before. Last time, it happened only once, to reactivate it again… The Red Axis also watches this with surprise as they also recognize it.
And they aren't the only ones, the Azur Lane group, Belfast and Wales also sees this along with others. Belfast watches seeing the same serious look from Enterprise… The same one before, when she has this…
"Wales!" Cleveland's voice interrupts her thought she turns to see them arriving in Wales, Denver and Columbia are carrying Hornet, which shocked her and Wales seeing her, looking the same state as Hood… Maybe that's why, she… "Hornet… She…" Cleveland looked tearful…
Wales can't speak of this, they lost another friend… "..." She looked down.
"Cleveland!" Javelin and Laffey arrive but Javelin gasps upon seeing Hornet… "W-what happened!?"
"We didn't see…" Denver shook her head, as she looked tearful. "But we saw Enterprise fighting…"
Then Belfast notices the Enterprise fighting Orochi came close… "Look out!" She manages to shove almost everyone near the fight, as it goes past them. "This is not safe here, we have to go!" She stated, then looking at Javelin and Laffey, "Where's Commander?" She asked.
Javelin's eyes worried, "He-" She paused, looking like she's about to panic. But then she sees an incoming boat, the one in control, she sighed in biggest relief. "Commander! He's right there!" She pointed.
Belfast came to him quickly, arriving at the boat, she noticed Kawakaze knocked out cold, much to her surprise, "Master… How did you-" She attempted to ask.
"I will explain, what's happening?" Xavier demanded. As he also sees the disaster occurring all around.
"We were fighting, Hornet is…" Belfast glanced as Xavier also sees that Hornet's suffering the same fate as Hood. Xavier's expression however remains the same, then looks back to Belfast as she continues, "Then Enterprise reawakens her powers again and is fighting the same monstrosity." She explained.
Reawaken…? Again…? No time for thinking, he then says his next move, "Then we fall back, return to base, using this chaos to our advantage." He stated.
"And Enterprise?" Cleveland asked.
"..." Xavier does not know how to deal with this… "How do we recover her?" He asked.
"...We do not know." Belfast replied.
"...Then we must go." Xavier stated.
"We're leaving her behind?" Cleveland exclaimed.
"We are outnumbered, Cleveland, unless you want to lose in vain." Xavier firmly responded.
"But-" Cleveland tries to speak back,
"We are going. Now." Xavier rebukes harshly. Cleveland slightly reacts, and tries to speak, but hesitates, not knowing how to convince him, "Wales…" He spoke to her, who looked at him. "We must go."
"..." Wales remained silent, but sighed deeply, "Very well, Commander… We… Are going." She stated. Then she proceeds to contact the remaining, "Everyone, Commander's orders is to turn back, retreat." She announced, then she moved off. Everyone listens in shock by the retreat, even during the battle… But not willing to disobey orders, they fall back.
They now reach the exit of the river of the islands. And finally enter the open ocean, they move at faster pace, and Commander's boat catching up their speed. Javelin, while next to him, is concerned, her Commander's been… Harsh? She hopes to not say it, but even during the first meeting he's tense…
Then she notices Kawakaze, which quickly makes her yelp, gaining his attention, "Uh, Commander? What are you gonna do to her?" She asked, shakily pointing at her.
Xavier looks at her, then Kawakaze, "...To know… Information." He said to the destroyer girl. She stares at him curious, which isn't enough to convince her. "We are finding out how they access this tech, personally." He evaluated his statement.
Word Count - 4115
So overall, what do people think of Orochi here? And yes, Orochi is based on the Azur Lane Anime, Orochi itself, but this time, he has a human form. It's a 'he'? Yep, you'll soon know why. Those who read my old versions, should know...
And Xavier being a jerk? Tell me, has there been a Commander whose the protagonist acting not much care to the girls like in other fanfics? If so, I would be gladly be the first.
Anyways for the OVA Chapters, I am planning three of them actually! Here are the chapters:
1 - "Meeting The Recruits!" This Chapter will focus on the newly introduced Ships, along with Priority Ships to indicate how the Azur Lane takes place.
2 - "Love & Dove" The second Chapter will focus on Commander's romantic life with the certain girls (and the rest will be expanded on Slow Ahead!)
3 - "Discover & Embark" Commander Xavier himself in the final OVA Chapter will have... 'Unique' moments about himself, that will soon lead up to the next Arc...
Also, planning to make a one-shot spin-off story once Arc 1 is over, aka "Slow Ahead!" Anyone would like to see your favorite ship, get individual moment with Commander Xavier? Until then, enjoy this story!
