A/N: Here's Chapter 3. Also, I don't own anything.

Enjoy!

I'm going to abbreviate Hà Nội as HN (it's also a Vietnamese thing)

Also, Key:

EUS: Eagle Union Ship

RNS: Royal Navy Ship

IBS: Ironblood Ship

SES: Sakura Empire Ship

VPNS: Vietnam People's Navy Ship

*insert the opening of Hậu Duệ Mặt Trời Việt Nam

Aboard the VPNS HQ-300

HN's POV:

After I told them my short story, I then waited for their questions. We were in my officer room of course.

Cleveland: So...you have been active since 1995 in your world?

Me: As the former Admiral Kuznetsov, yes. 25 years.

Javelin: That's longer than us.

Me: Well, I have just been upgraded and modernized a few months ago. Before then, I was a dire conditions. No air conditioning for most parts, outdated radar, you name it.

Wales: You spent most of your service in the Russian Navy correct?

Me: Correct. I was just transferred to the Vietnamese Navy a few months ago as well.

Wales: Are they like Northern Parliament?

Me: Not exactly. They both speak Russian, or in your world Northern Parliamentese, but...the Russian Navy is way stronger. Well, partially because of me.

Wales: You were the pride of the Russian Navy.

Me: I was the flagship of the Russian Navy. But I've been replaced by the RFS Shtorm. Now, I'm the main flagship of the Vietnamese Navy.

Javelin: Is the Crimson Axis prevalent in your world?

Me: No. The Allied Powers defeated them in the second World War. In my world, they were simply called the Axis Powers.

Javelin: Same year?

Me: 1939 - 1945.

Illustrious: And who composed of the Axis Powers?

Me: Để Quốc Nhật, Đức Quốc Xã, và Ý.

The girls were then confused.

Me: Oh sorry, I forget, none of you speak Vietnamese. Translated, it means, Empire of Japan, what you would call the Sakura Empire, Nazi Germany, your Ironblood, and Italy.

*cue Italy WW2 memes here*

Laffey: How was bad was Nazi Germany?

Me: Oh don't get me started. I will tell you in two words. WAR. CRIMES.

The girls were then shocked.

Me: Millions died because of Nazi Germany. Though, what isn't told, was that the Japanese did horrible war crimes as well. Truth to be told, actually, both sides committed war crimes. There was no "good guy, bad guy". It was a war of ideologies. The Biscari Massacre, the Holodomor, the Holocaust, the ransaking of Nanking. Not to mention what the Japanese did to my homeland.

Wales: What did they do?

Me: -They took all the rice in Vietnam...and starved millions in a manmade famine. It was only after we gained independence on September 2nd, 1945 that we could be truly free. Ngày Quốc Khánh. On that day, Hồ Chí Minh proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the predecessor of the current Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

I then saw Enterprise look outside through the windows.

Me: Enterprise? You okay?

I then stood up and looked out the window.

Me: I guess we have to help the ships that got destroyed in this attack. Let's move.

I then got my gear back on again and grabbed my AK-74 leaning on the side of the chair. Once I was done, I lead the girls to the front deck of the carrier and got them into a patrol boat to see how the ships were doing...after that Pearl Harbor style attack.

Outside, on HN's Svetlyak-class patrol boat

It was almost a massacre of ships. Eagle Union was hit really hard because of this surprise attack. Wales got out her binoculars and I got out my trusted M22 binoculars.

Me: Looks like we got hit hard.

All around us, Eagle Union shipgirls were getting pulled out of the water by either their comrades, Royal Navy shipgirls, or some crew on base.

Wales (looking through her binos): I never expected that Sakura Empire would make the first move.

Me: This is Pearl Harbor all over again.

Illustrious: Sakura Empire allying with Ironblood was no surprise, like Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan. But..

Me: The Sirens.

I then looked at some of the Siren ships and destroyed Siren aircraft scattered around the base.

Wales: But your aircraft can easily defeat them. Plus your ship weapons.

Me: Yeah. But still. I would be weary of them. I just don't want you girls to have the same experience as me as I had in Hải Phong port.

Wales: Are they aware of how dangerous the power of Sirens is?

Me: They are blinded in their judgement, remember that.

Illustrious: Let's focus on rebuilding this base. The main Royal Navy Forces should arrive soon. We will never be caught off guard again.

I then see Enterprise going through the water to her ship.

Wales: Enterprise?

Me: I'll go after her.

As I followed Enterprise, I could hear the orders still talking on the patrol boat.

Wales: Eagle Union's Enterprise...she truly saves us this time.

Illustrious: She can be unsafe though.

Wales: She is strong. She has no hesitations, like an arrow flying straight in the air. But...a tightly strung bow can easily snap. Though, with Hà Nội here, I'm sure he will make things easier for her and us.

*Timeskip brought to you by:

CVN-6 Enterprise

Once we got to her ship, Enterprise stood on her carrier deck, overlooking the sea. I stood beside her, silence between us. After a few minutes, Enterprise spoke.

Enterprise: How can you be so calm after what had happened?

I then sighed.

Me: Because I know that I can't do anything to stop it, even if I have the power to destroy an entire Siren fleet by myself. This is not my call to make.

Enterprise: You could have stepped in.

Me: I tried getting here in with my Su-57s in time, but I was delayed by the distance from my position to this base.

Enterprise then nodded. I then begin to speak quietly.

Me: Enterprise. I want to let you know that everything will be okay. We. Will. Get. Them. Back.

Enterprise then looked down at her feet. I then keeled to where she was looking down.

Me: Do you trust me?

Enterprise (silently): Yes.

She then looked back up into the sea, while I stood silently, still next to her watching, waiting, for what their next move could be.

Azur Lane Base

Third Person POV:

Meanwhile back at base, Javelin and Laffey were going around reforming the damaged Eagle Union ships using wisdom cubes. It took awhile, but eventually, they finished their tasks.

Javelin: I'm glad everyone seems to be okay.

Laffey then laid on the ground due to exhaustion.

Javelin: Wait, Laffey, are you okay?!

Laffey: Maybe not. Too sleepy.

Javelin then dropped to her level.

Javelin: Don't fall asleep out here!

It was then Unicorn, Wales, and Illustrious came from HN's Svetlyak-class patrol boat.

A/N: Skipping some parts. Cuz, you know.

Illustrious: You must be all exhausted, go ahead and rest.

After Illustrious said her remark, Wales, Illustrious, and Unicorn turned back to Azur Lane HQ.

Javelin: Oh excuse me-

Wales: Resting is part of your duties.

Somewhere else on base

Cleveland was directing the crew on placing a main gun onto an Eagle Union ship.

Cleveland: Steady, steady!

Once in was in position, she stopped them.

Cleveland: Stop!

She then looked out to see the EUS San Diego

Cleveland: There are too many ship repairs to do.

San Diego and a few others were overlooking the damaged San Diego ship.

San Diego: My ship!

EUS Shipgirl: Yikes.

Cleveland was of course still onto of the ship she was repairing.

Cleveland: If we at least had a repair ship... (looks out to see Enterprise and Hà Nội standing near an edge) Huh?

Cleveland then came down from the ropes, acting as a ladder for a ship to greet the both of them.

Cleveland: Hey, Hà Nội, Enterprise! You both need to rest, you pushed yourselves way too hard in that last battle!

HN: That was nothing. (he then looks away) Not as bad as Hải Phong.

Enterprise: I'm fine.

Cleveland: That's impossible.

Enterprise then looked at her ship.

Enterprise: Emergency repairs are complete. I've still got some fight in me.

HN: I didn't suffer anything, so that's why I don't need any repairs. By the way. Cleveland?

Cleveland: Hm?

HN: Use my helicopters. They're more useful for repairing ships then you think.

Cleveland: Your flying aircraft with rotors?

Hà Nội nods.

HN: Use all of them if you have to, even the stealth Black Hawks.

Enterprise then slowly tries to walk, but slightly collapses.

Cleveland: See? I told you!

Enterprise: The enemy hasn't gone far. I can't lower my guard yet.

HN: Enterprise remember. We won't be caught off guard. With the Ka-27s and Black Hawks doing far recon, along with my advanced radar systems, we will already be alerted before they even get a chance to figure out how we knew they were there.

Enterprise then nods and walks away from Cleveland. She then looks back at Hà Nội.

Enterprise: Hà Nội, you coming?

HN then nods and follows her.

Cleveland: Jeez, those two! But I guess at least Hà Nội is helping us, not the Crimson Axis.

*Timeskip brought to you by Hà Nội testing the Tsar Bomba with an added side effect of N A P A L M*

At sea

On the SES Kaga and Akagi, Akagi was treating her sister's wounds from the previous battle.

Akagi (tending one wound): Hold still.

Kaga: D-Dear sister, you're very close...

Akagi: Oh, no, a cut on your face, too.

Kaga: Dear Sister, this is such a minor injury...

Hà Nội: *laughs in Savage Claw and Sonic Wing modes*

Akagi: No...it would be a tragedy if this left a scar on your beautiful face.

A/N: Skipping the next part cause it's too homo for the author.

Akagi: You must take care of yourself. If something were to happen to you, I would be sad.

A/N: And Hà Nội would be extremely happy.

Kaga: Deepest apologies, Dear Sister. After all, this body is--

Akagi: Don't mention it. We're like sisters. It's only natural for the elder sister to deeply love her younger sister.

A/N: The author is now braindead.

On the bridge of Kaga's ship, a certain Ironblood Heavy Cruiser was sitting, overhearing the conservation, her rigs that were looked like sharks.

Prinz Eugen: Ara, ara. I hope I'm not interrupting.

Kaga: You...

Prinz Eugen: Don't glare at me like that. We're allies, remember? You, Sakura Empire, and we, Ironblood. Allies.

She then hops down from Kaga's bridge, and moves towards the sisters.

Prinz Eugen: Correct?

Akagi then stands up.

Akagi: Of course. We are comrades, pursuing the same ideal. (pulls up the dark wisdom cube in her hand, which looks like a goofy version of an Dark Energon crystal) Everything we do, we do for the victory of the Crimson Axis.

Prinz Eugen: I see. Quite impressive, how controlled those Siren ships, though they may merely be mass production models. Is this another achievement of that project of yours? And also....that aircraft carrier been giving trouble?

Hà Nội: Hell yeah I've been giving trouble.

https://youtu.be/9bK7YtTCzQA

Hà Nội (gets tactical): Team Deathmatch. Remember, speed and aggression gentlemen.

A/N: That's called foreshadowing for later.

Akagi: Everything is Heaven's will.

Prinz Eugen: That said, you're being quite careful. You might as well have gone on and crushed that base.

Kaga: But that unknown aircraft carrier would have destroyed all of us. He even beat Akagi in a 1v1, let alone himself vs our ships with his unknown technology.

Prinz Eugen: I see. And that scratch on your face, Kaga?

Prinz Eugen then grabs a snack from the table that Kaga and Akagi were close to and eats it, in a very teasing way.

Akagi: Oh, dear, no. Where is the love in that? They need to be teased a bit more. Continuing on the subject, those two ships are special. You must not underestimate the both of them.

Prinz Eugen: Eagle Union's Enterprise, also known as Grey Ghost, and other ship, only known by the name for now as, "The Vanquisher of Imperialists and Fascists". I agree, they can be troublesome.

Just then, one of Akagi's origamis, acting as a spy device (A/N: Every helicopter and aircraft aboard the VPNS HQ-300 has anti-espionage technology, cuz duh, so if one is spotted, Hà Nội will immediately be alerted)

Origami: My elders, I've found them. A detached force.

Kaga: Just as Ayanami reported.

Akagi: I suppose we can harass them just a little bit more. You can handle this, can't you, 5th Carrier Division? You may be immature, but this is hardly a difficult errand.

Origami Understood.

Akagi: And now I request you, Prinz Eugen, famed warrior of Ironblood.

Kaga: The 5th Carrier found some leftovers. There's no reason to let them go.

Akagi: I am ashamed to admit, I worry deeply about my juniors. If Ironblood forces were to lend us aid, it would be most reassuring.

Prinz Eugen then stood up.

Prinz Eugen: Fine, I suppose. I'm taking Z23 and that Ayanami girl from your camp.

Akagi: Yes, we would be honored to witness a display of your strength.

With Ayanami and Z23

Z23: Ayanami!

Ayanami then looked at Z23 aka Nimi, from where she was siting.

Ayanami: Nimi.

Z23: We have a mission. Please follow us.

Ayanami: Another battle...

Z23: Yes. An enemy fleet that was away from the base.

Ayanami: The enemy...

Ayanami then recalls Laffey, Unicorn, and Javelin.

Ayanami: I don't dislike fighting. But I don't like it either.

Z23: Please don't be so selfish all of a sudden!

Ayanami: So Z23, do you like fighting?

Z23: What we like is not relevant. Our duty is to execute our mission. We are ships. We were born to fight.

Ayanami then looks at the setting sun.

Ayanami: I don't fully understand.

Azur Lane Base, with Javelin and Laffey

Javelin and Laffey were sitting on a blanket, having a picnic overlooking the sea.

Javelin: I wondering if she's doing well.

Laffey: Hm? Oh, that girl, Ayanami.

Javelin: Ayanami, right.

Javelin then looks into the blue sky.

Javelin: Do we have to fight her?

An eagle then soars through the sky, and lands on a tree next to them.

Laffey: That bird...

Enterprise and Hà Nội were down below the hill when Enterprise looked up to find her pet eagle.

Javelin: Enterprise-san! Hà Nội-san!

Enterprise and Hà Nội then climbed the hill to where Laffey and Javelin were and Enterprise went ahead to a cliff on the hill, overlooking the sea. Hà Nội on the other hand, had a tablet in his hand, showing the locations of all his helicopters and the area around it.

Javelin: Enterprise, would you like a bite? (shows her a sandwich)

Enterprise: No, thanks.

Javelin: Hà Nội?

HN: No. (he looks down) Just too much stuff to worry about.

No one really knew of Hà Nội's PTSD, since he was the former Admiral Kuznetsov, he had a lot. Hải Phong was just a significant part.

Javelin: Enterprise, are you hurt?

Enterprise: Can you tell? It seems my healing has slowed down.

Javelin: Hà Nội seems to not have been hurt at all.

HN: I have my own ways of repairing. Plus, I was unharmed in that battle due to (points to the ACH helmet) this, and (points to his IOTV) this.

Javelin: What's that? (points to his IOTV)

HN: This is the Improved Outer Tactical Vest Generation 4. This used to be owned by the US Army, until they gave it all away to us after they phased it out, in favor of the USMC's Plate Carrier Generation 3.

Javelin: Okay. (she then turns to Enterprise and thinks) Enterprise, the strongest Eagle Union ship...is this personality part of her strength? (she then shouts) Enterprise, why do you push yourself so far?

Enterprise then looks back and sighs slightly.

Enterprise: You ask a strange question. The purpose of our existence is to fight. There is no doubt there.

Laffey: But Laffey doesn't want to work when sleepy.

Javelin: Eh? Laffey-chan!

Laffey then takes a sip of her cola.

Laffey: But Laffey dosen't like it when people pick on Laffey's friends. When that happens, Laffey will work a bit harder. What about you, Enterprise.

HN: I hate to admit, but Javelin's right. I had the same personality as you, believing that I was only a carrier, made to fight not only Sirens, but also Islamic terrorists. But...that was what almost killed me in Hải Phong. Being cold...almost killed all my men.

Hà Nội then looks down again in sorrow.

HN: The men lost that dreadful day...more than Omaha Beach and Tết Mậu Thân.

Hà Nội then looks up again.

HN: It may take you awhile to realize, but this world, mine or yours, isn't about fighting all the time.

Hà Nội's tablet then begin to beep.

HN: Sh*t! An attack? By the Crimson Axis?

MH-60X Pilot (This is just a hologram): It would appear so. The attackers are the Sakura Empire's 5th Carrier Divison, along with some Ironblood reinforcements. Just two clicks away from us.

HN: Where?

MH-60X Pilot: Grid Oscar Mike 1-5-6. Northeast.

HN: Alright, that's all I need to know. Get all the forces onto the carrier, we will be Oscar Mike in 2 mikes.

MH-60X Pilot: Roger.

As Hà Nội finished the transmission, he looked back up at Enterprise.

HN (whispering): Enterprise, time to go.

Enterprise: Where?

HN: Northeast of here. 2 kilometers. The Crimson Axis.

As soon as he said those words, Enterprise rushed back to her carrier and set sail, with Hà Nội flew to his carrier and followed in behind her at full speed.

Waters adjacent to the Azur Lane Base

Several Eagle Union ships were on their way back to base.

Heavy Cruiser Northampton: Hammann, calm down.

Destroyer Hammann: This is no time to relax! Hammann's base is in danger!

Light Cruiser Helena: Um, like I said, the base told us the enemies have already been repelled--

Hammann: We have to hurry!

Hammann then rushed ahead of the others.

Northampton: How energetic...she's been like that since yesterday.

Light Aircraft Carrier Long Island: This ghost is exhausted...

Battleship Arizona: It seems like the famous Enterprise and an unknown aircraft carrier were the ones that beat back the enemy.

Northampton: Did you catch that aircraft carrier's name?

Arizona: Not yet.

Northampton: Anyways, Enterprise...? Hornet, isn't that your...?

Aircraft Carrier Hornet: Yeah, it's quite a burden, having such a champion as a big sister.

Hammann then turned behind.

Hammann: What's with the lazy chit-chat?! The enemy could come at any moment!

Hornet: Hammann does have a point. It would be best if we hurried along.

Helena then heard the Sakura Empire's 5th Carrier Division approaching.

Hornet: I guess we were a bit too slow.

Two ships of the 5th Carrier Division could be seen in the distance.

A/N: Just wait till they get pummeled by one cheeky Admiral Kuznestov-class Supercarrier, hehehehehe

Hornet: Sakura Empire's 5th Carrier Division...

Hammann: Two-bit goons. Hammann will beat them up!

Meanwhile, the Aircraft Carrier Shoukaku was sitting down on the deck of her ship, complaining about something.

Shoukaku: Oh, poor me, bullied by those mean senpais...don't you think, Zuikaku?

Zuikaku meanwhile was standing on the bow of her ship.

Zuikaku: C'mon, big sis, can you tack this seriously? This is our chance to make the 1st Carrier Division elders see how strong we are.

Shoukaku: Oh, Zuikaku, you're such a straightforward girl. Don't worry, Zuikaku. Big sis has your back!

Zuikaku then pulled out her sword.

Zuikaku: That's right! As long as you're with me, I have nothing to fear!

Meanwhile on Hà Nội's ship, he was assessing the situation as his ship was going at max speed.

HN: Arrogant I see. Guess I have to pull out the one and only....napalm launcher...

He then pulled out the M202A1 FLASH from his drawer and placed it on his back.

HN: Guess they when never learn to not mess with a supercarrier....

Back at at the Azur Lane Base

Wales was then notified of the situation.

Wales: We have to go help Hornet and the others.

Illustrious then opened the door.

Illustrious: Wales! Enterprise and Hà Nội...

Wales: What?

Illustrious: And this note by Hà Nội...

Quân Chủng Hải Quân của Quân đội Nhân Dân Việt Nam

VPNS HQ-300 Thủ Đô Hà Nội

Target Report

Top Secret, Classified, only for utmost of purposes.

Targets have been marked northeast of here at Grid Oscar Mike 1-5-6. Going in at two mikes.

-HN

Wales: Impossible! How?

Illustrious: Via his recon helicopters.

Back on the battlefield

Enterprise was going full speed with her rigs on, with Hà Nội, and Cleveland following in behind her with theirs on as well.

Cleveland: Enterprise! You're going too far ahead!

Enterprise: There's no time to waste!

She then slips.

HN: Be careful!

Cleveland: You're still severely damaged! You're just being reckless!

Enterprise: Hornet is my sister...

Cleveland: Enterprise...so you do have a human side after all. Guess Hà Nội did help her after all.

Hà Nội then smirks.

HN: Well, let's get in there and hunt!

Cleveland: Right!

Cleveland then talks to Enterprise as they move forward.

Cleveland: I have many sisters, too. I know how you feel. I just wish we had some escort vessels...

HN: If only the Nguyễn Hữu Thọ was here...

Laffey and Javelin were right behind them.

Laffey: Laffey will go, too.

Javelin: Let's go help the others!

Cleveland then looks behind and gives a thumbs up.

Cleveland: Okay!

On the battlefield, the Eagle Union ships were given a pummeling and laid in the water as Zeros dropped bombs on them. Hornet meanwhile was dodging and Shoukaku was in the sky, playing her flute.

Shoukaku: This melody is a requiem, to quell the dead.

As she played, the Zeros continued their attack on Hornet.

Hornet: I don't enjoy being totally on the defensive!

Zuikaku then dashed towards Hornet.

Zuikaku: Gotcha!

Zuikaku then jumped up with her katana.

Hornet: Dammit!

Until...

HN: Not on my watch!

Hà Nội's Su-57s and Enterprise's Hellcats were launching their assualt on Zuikaku. The Su-57s launched their R-77 missiles and fired their 30mm autocannons while the Hellcats fired their M2s.

*PWOSH! PWOSH!*

*BBBBBBRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT!*

*TINGTINGTINGTINGTING!*

Zuikaku: Nani?

The M2s bullets were easily blocked by her sword, but the 30mm shells and the R-77 missiles hit her with deadly accuracy.

Zuikaku: ARUGH!

Shoukaku then looked behind her to see the commotion.

Hornet: Sister!

Enterprise: Go!

https://youtu.be/9bK7YtTCzQA

A/N: Theme plays whenever Hà Nội is fighting.

HN (pulls out AK-74): Speed and aggression! RAUGHH!

He then fires a full auto burst at Shoukaku and Zuikaku, while Enterprise fires an arrow at Zuikaku.

*TOWTOWTOWTOWTOWTOW!*

Hornet: Thank you, sister!

Zuikaku then looks above.

Zuikaku: There you are, Grey Ghost! And whoever you are!

Hà Nội then glares at her while the rest of the jet fighters are sent out.

HN: Máy bay, PHÓNG! (Planes, launch!)

Zuikaku then strikes Enterprise, while Hà Nội goes to scan for more enemies.

Zuikaku: Finally, a worthy opponent!

Enterprise's bow and Zuikaku's katana then clash.

Zuikaku: Eagle Union's strongest carrier, Enterprise! A worthy opponent!

Enterprise then pushes Zuikaku away with her bow.

Zuikaku: Brace yourself--this is a duel!

Meanwhile with the others, Hornet then moves to Cleveland's and Hà Nôi's position.

Cleveland (waves here hand): Hornet! We're here to help!

Hornet: Nice timing. It was seriously getting close there.

Hornet then slightly leans forward, Cleveland then catches her.

Cleveland: Whoa. This is our chance to pull back. Let me just bring out my ship.

HN (thinking): Prinz Eugen is here behind me.

Hà Nội then pulls out his NRS-2 Knife and throws it Spetsnaz style at her. The girls then looked shocked as to how he noticed Prinz Eugen.

HN: You can't hide from me! Prinz Eugen!

Prinz Eugen: ARUGH! Feuer! (Fire!)

She then fires her shells at Hà Nội, but then his Pantsir-M CIWS goes online.

https://youtu.be/8rGlAdTeDwY

*BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!!!* (but at 10000 rpm)

The Pantsir-M CIWS then brings down every shell fired by Prinz Eugen.

Eagle Union Shipgirls: EHHHH??!!!

Prinz Eugen: Eh? Grrr, how dare you!

Hà Nội just simply laughs.

HN: You really think that your shells could hit me that easily? Well I hate to break to you fascist, because this ship isn't as defenseless as you thought!

It was then Z23/Nimi and Ayanami then came out.

Prinz Eugen: Nimi, can you take it from here?

Z23 then nods.

Z23: I am Z23, Ironblood Destroyer. You will be defeated here.

Ayanami then follows.

Javelin: Oh, Ayanami...

Hà Nội then starts to take orders.

HN: Cleveland! Get the others the hell out of here!

Cleveland: But it'll be a 2 on 1!

HN: Cleveland, remember, I can handle myself.

Cleveland and the girls still stand there, watching.

Z23: You are volunteering to be the breach. An honorable act, even by an enemy.

As Z23 gets ready her weapons, Hà Nội cocks his AK-74M3 back for firing.

HN: Oh really? So you haven't seen completely destroy one of your allies yet? Well, chuẩn bị sẵn sàng để cảm nhận sức mạnh một tàu chiến sân bay, của Hải Quân Nhân Dân Việt Nam! (Prepare to feel the power of an aircraft carrier, of the People's Navy of Vietnam!)

Hà Nội then gets all his systems online through his ACH helmet.

HN: Активировать все системы. (Activate all systems.)

VPNS Systems: Так точно. (Understood.)

HN: Переключите все системы HUD в режим «Bключен». (Switch all HUD systems to «Engaged»)

VPNS Systems: Понял. (Understood.)

Hà Nội's HUD then turns from «Clear» to «Engaged».

Hà Nội: Now (he chuckles), let's do this!

Azur Lane Base

Some of the Royal Navy and Eagle Union shipgirls were still assembled in that briefing room.

Unicorn: U-chan...?

The telephone then rings.

Wales: This is Azur Lane base command.

Queen Elizabeth: It's been too long, Wales.

Wales: Your Majesty!

Queen Elizabeth: Your wait is over. I, Queen Elizabeth, and my noble fleet have arrived.

The rest of Royal Navy fleet was in the background escorting the Queen Elizabeth.

Wales: Thank you, Your Majesty. Our allies are under attack.

Queen Elizabeth: I am aware, of course. I have alrady made my move.

*timeskip brought to you by Hà Nội fixing his bayonet on his AK-74*

Back on the Battlefield

Currently there were two fights going. The first was with Zuikaku and Enterprise, and the other, was Hà Nội against Z23 and Ayanami. On Hà Nội's side, he was fighting against them easily by dodging or firing his CIWS at the shells.

Z23: How is that carrier easily deflecting our shots?

Ayanami is silent.

HN: I haven't used 2/3rds of my full power. Now. My turn.

He then shoots his AK-74 at them with great accuracy, due to being a former SSO Spetsnaz Operator within the Russian Special Forces, and now, a VPN Marine.

*TOWTOWTOWTOWTOWTOWTOW!*

All the bullets hit both Z23 and Ayanami, severely injuring them. If that wasn't enough, he then launched his dreaded P-700 Granits and jet aircraft at them.

HN: Máy bay, phóng. (Fighters, launch.)

All his aircraft launch first.

HN: Tên lủa, phóng. (Missiles, launch.)

His Granit cruise missiles then came out from their tubes, soaring to the sky, then changing their trajectory towards Z23 and Ayanami. His aircraft then launched their R-77s, Atolls, Sidewinders, and AMRAAMs at the destroyers, dealing more damage, before the Granits hit their targets, even with AA fire, due to the missiles going too fast, and damging them even more.

Z23 and Ayanami: ARUGH!

Meanwhile to Zuikaku and Enterprise, it was still an even duel. Katana against bow and arrow. Enterprise then fired an arrow at Zuikaku, who then stopped it with her katana.

Zuikaku: Not on my watch!

She then dashes forwards to Enterprise, who then blocked her.

Zuikaku: Plenty more where that came from!

It was then a standstill.

Zuikaku: Is that all you've got, Grey Ghost?!

As Zuikaku is about to make the final blow, Enterprise surprises her with a shot to the sky, before that shot comes back as a Hellcat, diving towards Zuikaku, then launching a bomb, creating a wave around them, to which Enterprise proceeded to kick her away and send her flying, before reaiming her bow. Back with Hà Nội and the others, he was of course annihilating the destroyers.

HN (while firing his AK-74M3): And so Ironblood thinks that I'm just a weak carrier who can't do anything? Huh.

It was then Belfast passed through.

Belfast: Hà Nội. I've got this.

She then faced to deal with Z23 and Ayanami meanwhile Hà Nội then went after Zuikaku with his jets as well. Explosions were heard from the Hellcats. Shoukaku meanwhile was dodging the attacks of the Hellcats in her area, while Zuikaku then launched her attack, her katana with flames, with Enterprise aiming her bow at Zuikaku.

Shoukaku: Zuikaku!

Zuikaku: I must land at least one blow...

Zuikaku then dashed forwards and breaks Enterprise's bow with one swing.

Enterprise (thinking): Of all moments, this is the one where I reach my limit?

Zuikaku then jumped back and dashed fowards before jumping in the air to hit Enterprise, with her Zeros deployed. Enterprise then tried to counter with her aircraft, but she was too damaged.

Zuikaku: Now, I've got you!

HN: Miss me with that sh*t!

He then comes in with his AK-74M3 with his AK-74 Bayonet on his rifle, blocking her katana attack easily, saving Enterprise.

Zuikaku: Eh?!

HN: Heh. Now. My turn again.

Enterprise looked shocked, but with Hà Nội in the fray, the battle will soon turn its tide.

A/N: And that's Chapter 3! Hope you enjoyed it! Remember to review and vote!

Have a nice day!
