SAKURA EMPIRE

Kaga has a light argument with Nagato.

Kaga: Do you want to cancel the Orochi project?

Nagato: Yes. The resources of the empire are scarce and without the black mind cube we cannot move forward.

Kaga: The empire without Orochi is nothing, the empire hangs on a thread and you want to cancel its launch.

Nagato: Kaga you should rest, Akagi's absence takes its toll on you, rest and let your heart heal.

Kaga: (Furia) Nagato!

Nagato: (Irritated) This is my decision, so get out of my sight.

Kaga has no choice but to leave as she doesn't want to fight her empress.

In the empire, the girls are in the dorms while having a sleepover, the girls have dinner and drink liquor in one of the rooms of one of the kansen.

Ise: (Drinking Sake) This is getting more and more troublesome.

Hyuuga: The Orochi project is put on hold, the mass production sirens don't respond, we're in trouble.

Atago: I'm worried about Ayanami and Akashi.

Shokaku: This whole plan was doomed from the start. We should not have bet our destiny on something we did not know.

Soryuu: It's not as easy as you think.

Hiryuu: Red Axis is not a monolithic alliance, we don't want Iron Blood to see us so weak.

Hyuuga: But the siren were the enemy.

The atmosphere in the room did not improve at all.

Outside Zuikaku walks to empty her mind, she walks with Takao, while they walk they listen to the Sendai sisters talk, they talk about the precarious situation of the empire.

Zuikaku and Takao stop in the middle of a bridge.

Takao: How are your wounds?

Zuikaku: I'm fine, I've fully recovered.

Takao: That's good to hear, but the situation is not favorable. I'm afraid it's not just the empire, I'm afraid it's all being pushed to a very bad end.

Zuikaku: In that case, it's up to us to reverse that ending.

Zuikaku speaks with a confident smile.

Takao: Right.

Zuikaku: I can't let them do all the work. We have to change.

Kaga remembers the past, she is in her room, she remembers everything that she lived with her friend Amagi and her stepsister Akagi.

Kaga: Yes, sister, I'm going to fulfill your wishes.

Kaga's eyes are unfocused and lifeless, she gets up and walks out of the room.

THIRD PERSON POV

Enterprise is feeling very sick and dizzy, she is swaying from side to side, it's the middle of the night so everyone is sleeping and no one hears a thing.

Enterprise trying to steady herself, she knocked over her nightstand and then she walks out the door, she walks very slowly while leaning against the wall.

[Alert: body temperature 79°]

Enterprise suddenly comes down with a fever and headaches, she walks until something makes her stop, she sees her evil doppelganger.

Enterprise: What are you doing here?

Ash: Mankind set sail to the seas with adventure in their hearts, but soon they were filled with a different desire, that of conquering the seas...

In that the ground begins to burn in fire surprising Enterprise.

Ash: The ocean has been plagued by wars, conflict is humanity's true desire (Devilish smile) It's a drama that humanity desires.

Enterprise: (disgusted) What the hell are you saying?

In that Enterprise sees that Ash's appearance completely changes to that of Amagi.

Enterprise: (serious look) You are different... your current and previous appearances are simply false. Your true appearance is more hideous than you appear to be.

Amagi?: No, I'm the real one. Because I am a mirror that reflects the desire of humanity.

In that the eyes of Amagi and Enterprise feel very bad and she falls to the ground as she loses consciousness, as her consciousness blurs, she hears Orochi's last words.

Orochi: My name is Orochi, a monster born by the will of mankind!

TIME SKIP

In the morning Kasami luckily had found Enterprise on the floor, so she called Vestal and Belfast, and luckily Enterprise only has a cold, Enterprise is currently asleep in her bed while Vestal talks to Belfast, in the end Belfast she stays in the room to take care of Enterprise.

As Belfast tries to flip the damp cloth on Enterprise's forehead to lower her fever, Enterprise wakes up and sits up on the bed.

Enterprise: (confused) I...

Belfast: (Concerned) Are you okay? Kasami found you lying on the ground this morning.

Enterprise: (confused) Was it a dream? No, it was not.

Enterprise stands up and walks to her closet, but she stumbles and Belfast tries to help her, Enterprise agrees to help.

Enterprise: Thank you very much for helping me.

Belfast: No problems.

¡TOCK! ¡TOCK!

Belfast: Who is it?

Me: It is me.

The Kasami opens the door and enters.

Me: how are you?

Enterprise: I'm better, thanks for helping me.

Me: (Sigh) No doubt you scared me this morning, I went out to do my morning exercises when I found you lying on the floor, you burned with a fever over 42°, you were lucky not to die.

Belfast: She used her magic to bring down your fever and then she came looking for us.

Enterprise: What did you use?

Me: Water, I had to be very careful to regulate the temperature of the water so as not to aggravate your situation.

Enterprise: Thank you very much, you saved me.

Enterprise bows and then they leave the room.

Belfast: (Concerned) Are you really okay?

Enterprise: Yes, I don't feel bad anymore, the fever went away like magic, I still don't understand.

Enterprise thinks about what happened in the night, she doesn't remember what happened, but she has a feeling that something or someone said something very bad to her.

POV FIRST PERSON

We got to the dining room and after Nevada served us the food we sat down at a table that is unoccupied, Belfast sits down, she didn't at first because she has her Maid customs, but after we forced her to sit with us, she became very close to us.

We have a leisurely breakfast.

Far from the base there is a high ranking siren, she is Purifier.

Puri: (Disgusted) My God, that Observer has gone too far, ordering me to mobilize on my day off, but this body is a clone, so no problem, I have this clone just in case something bad happens. 

Without anyone knowing there would be an event that no one would come to come.

We kept eating.

Belfast: You know? I got a fashion magazine yesterday, It seems that Howe opened a bakery near the central base and now she seems to be having trouble dealing with all the customers.

Me: Ohhh, so she is a very good pastry chef.

Belfast: Yes, I have tried their cookies and they are so delicious that you could die of pleasure.

Me: Oi, this is not Shongeki no soma.

Belfast: XD.

Me: But I'm relieved that these days are peaceful...

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!

Me/Enterprise: (Drinking Coffee) Let's ignore that, that explosion never happened.

Belfast: You!

Me: Just kidding, they attack us! Sound the attack alarm!

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The emergency alarm began to sound.

Outside the base, Cleveland runs towards the port and she is surprised because she doesn't see anything, she doesn't see any enemy planes or ships.

Cleveland: What the hell.

Denver: Aneki!

In that the sisters of Cleveland run towards her.

Cleveland: An attack? Where is the enemy?

Montpelier: The enemy making a move now? What are the patrols doing?

Columbia: No, the enemy attacks from the same base.

Helena: [The attack is not coming from the sea, the enemy has infiltrated the base BBOOOOOOOMMMMM!]

Me: [Helena! What's happening!? Are you okay!?]

Helena: [I'm fine, the enemy is a high ranking siren!]

In that Helena sees Purifier leaving the Azur Lane academy and she flies to the sea to escape.

Hornet runs and she sees that most of the academy was destroyed by Purifier's attack, in that Hornet sees Northampton very injured on the floor, she tried to stop Purifier, but she couldn't.

Hornet: (worried) Northampton!

Northampton: (Badly hurt) I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything to stop the enemy.

Sandy: (crying) My ship was hit! Damn siren!

Northampton: The Belfast fleet is pursuing the enemy, please... take care of the defense of the port.

In that Northampton faints from the damage received, in that several Manjuus come to take Northampton to the infirmary.

Hornet: Who would have thought a siren attacked us alone.

Hornet looks at her sister who is in the port looking at the disaster, she runs the operations in a responsible way.

Hornet: Well, you can't let my sister do all the work, I have to help her out a bit.

Hornet runs to help her sister.

The base began to be surrounded by mass production siren ships, another attack on the base was made.

The girls went out to repel the siren attack, but this time there were more enemies than the first time the empire attacked the base.

Our protagonist fired some missiles, but everything has a limit and soon she exhausted her Harpoon missiles, she only had 16 so she just sank the carriers, then she walks up and fires some of her torpedoes.

Torpedoes hit other carriers taking away some of the enemy's air superiority, but the enemy still has overwhelming air superiority.

The kansen do everything they can, but you can't fight like this, if the allied carriers didn't help, it was obvious that they would run out of ammunition in a matter of minutes, the battleships did something, but it was nothing since 24 allied battleships they were badly damaged and had to withdraw, some cruisers and destroyers were also damaged and had to withdraw, Azur Lane had lost 70% of its ships, that's when the carriers appeared.

Me: (Irritation) They did take a long time, they're 25 minutes late.

Enterprise: Do you know that all of us aircraft carriers had to repair our flight decks?

ME: Yes, but they were still late, they were able to use the base's airfield to help us.

Enterprise: Oh, that's right.

Hornet: I'm sorry... XD.

Other girls like girls like Hood, Queen Elizabeth and Wales joined the fray.

Currently the situation was a bit even, but they still had a bit of a disadvantage, La Kasami's assist helped a bit to cushion the damage to the Azur Lane fleet.

Me: Message from the Belfast fleet, it seems they have problems too.

Enterprise: I understand, Hornet I leave this corner to you to take care of.

Hornet: Okay sister.

Me: I'll take care of your sister.

Enterprise: I'll order it.

Enterprise leaves the place to save the Belfast fleet.

Edinburg: [How is it possible that she can travel so fast?]

Belfast: [No idea, but I have a clean shot at her.]

Belfast fires and the shells hit Puri.

Edinburg: We did it!

The smoke settles and Puri walks out of the smoke unscathed scaring Edinburg and Norfolk.

Puri: What's up? Do they want to play?

In that several portals appear where several mass-produced siren ships and several clones of Puri emerge.

Purifier: This is a carnival! Let's have fun!

Edinburg and Norfolk are scared by what they see.

Edinburg: I ​​wish I was younger!

Norfolk: I wish I were braver!

the Belfast fleet, they are being pushed back by the enemy's bombardment.

Belfast: Damn, we can't do anything.

Edinburg: (sinking several siren ships) I'm going to die! I'm going to die! (dodges an enemy shot) GUOOAAAAAA!

Edinburg speak in panic.

Sheffield: (Sinking several siren ships) The way you talk and the way you act don't match.

Puri: What's up? Is that all you guys have? Come on, how am I going to have fun?

In that several explosions reverberate in the siren fleet and the sky is filled with Dauntless and Avenger planes.

Belfast: It's Enterprise planes!

Enterprise: ¡Siren!

Puri: (Excited) Enterprise! Our meeting will be legendary!

BBOOOOOOOMMMMMM!
