POV FIRST PERSON

Today I woke up in the morning and dressed in sports clothes to do my morning exercises, when I was about to start my session I saw Repulse running to my position.

Me: Hi Repulse, how are you?

Repulse: (Concerned) It's serious, we have an emergency meeting in 10 minutes, you have to be present.

Me: I understand (God, now what happened?)

Repulse after handing me the information is quickly removed, I quickly went to my captain's room and changed my clothes and then headed to the office.

TIME SKIP

Now we are already in the office and all the representatives of the Eagle Union and Royal Navy faction.

Wales: An hour ago we received a distress call from our spies.

Enterprise: I see. Now how do we rescue them?

Wales: Well, we know that they are on an island in the Pacific, they did not give us the exact location due to fear that the enemy could intercept the communication.

Me: We should deploy some aircraft carriers for search and rescue.

Enterprise: Yes, daughter you are right, Your Majesty we should deploy a carrier division to search for our spies.

Me: Yes, if the enemy knows the location of our agents, that makes it easier for us to search.

QE: I see, not a bad idea. But how do we get past the enemy blockade?

Me: Well, with a decoy fleet I would attack the enemy fleet and another smaller division to rescue the agents and that would be more than enough.

Wales: Yes, I also support that idea.

Me: Hornet.

Hornet: What's up niece?

Me: I want you to use the Corsairs on this mission, we need to set up several decoys.

Hornet: (Getting the hint) (Evil giggle) Ohoho, ok, I'll do it.

Enterprise: (Doubtful) What are you going to do?

Me: A prank on Red Axis.

Enterprise: (Annoyed) Take this seriously! Two allies are in danger!

Me: (tilts her head to the right) Hmm? But I'm serious. Ahem! Well, without going off topic, additionally we have to prepare battleships and ships with high anti-aircraft defense, we will need them to make a distraction, then we have to prepare a squad to evacuate our allies.

All: I understand!

Wales: Get ready, we're leaving in 3 hours, use this time to check your equipment.

All: Understood!

UNKNOWN ISLAND THIRD PERSON POV THREE DAYS LATER

Inside a building, Akashi inspects the Black Cube.

Akashi: It's a mystery, Nya.

Edinburgh: You really don't know anything? It is the secret weapon of your empire, right?

Akashi: I'm just a logistics and repair ship, I don't know anything about this, Nya.

Akashi looks at the cube and has a flashback where she is almost killed by a high-ranking siren Observer.

Akashi: (Shudders in fear) Who would have thought that they discovered the secrets of the sirens? This is very bad, I am very scared.

Suddenly Sheffield arrives and enters through the window.

Sheffield: I'm back.

Edinburgh: Welcome. How did you go?

Sheffield: Enemy planes are patrolling, we can't escape for now as they found out that we are hiding here, the empire is also receiving assistance from Iron Blood.

Edinburgh: (Scared) What are we going to do?

Sheffield: For now we will wait, the headquarters knows about our situation, we just have to wait for them to rescue us, but I doubt that those of the empire will remain with their arms crossed.

Edinburgh is scared just as Akashi trembles more with fear, Edinburgh to mitigate her panic, prepares tea and serves Sheffield and Akashi.

Edinburgh: (points to mental cube) Do you think they'd let us go if we handed them that?

Sheffield: You are very naive, of course they won't let us.

Akashi: (panic) If they catch me they'll make me Shamisen!

The two scream in panic and Sheffield is quietly sipping her tea.

In the empire's fleet, all the ships have their cannons pointed at the island, they just wait for the reports of the aircraft carriers and turn the island into hell, on the deck of a Fuso Shokaku-class battleship is somewhat doubtful.

Shokaku: Are those ships safe? The siren won't take them back?

Zuikaku: According to Akagi, as long as Orochi is the host we can't lose control.

Shokaku approaches her little sister.

Shokaku: Akagi, what are you planning?

Zuikaku: (Confused) Sister?

Shokaku: I feel a little awkward around those sinister guys.

Zuikaku just laughs uncomfortably, on another side of the ship Takao waits firmly with her sword to go into action as soon as she is ordered.

Takao: I have failed and let the enemy escape, I must clear my name... WA! Atago?

Atago jokingly approaches her sister and begins to hug her, making Takao groan in surprise and her serious face falls to the trash.

Atago: You are very tense, let me give you a relaxing massage.

Takao: (Uncomfortable) Hey! Waiting! Let go!

Her pleas are not heard by her little sister of crazy hugs, although Takao is stronger than her sister Atago, she can't deal now because Takao weakened, since Atago was exploiting Takao's sensitive spots, Ayanami sees this open-mouth show.

Atago: Oh? Ayanami do you want some of my massages?

Ayanami: (Raises her hand) I'd like to, but I respectfully decline.

In that carelessness Takao was able to regain control and throws a punch at Atago, but she dodges.

Takao: (Annoyed) Where the hell are you touching me? We're on a mission get serious!

Atago: Yes! I will do that. By the way, how is the island?

Zuikaku planes are on patrol on the island.

Zuikaku: It is a ruined island, there are many perfect hiding places to hide, the search is not easy.

Yamashiro: What if we bomb the island?

Fusou: Remember that the mission is to rescue Akashi who is a hostage and recover the black cube, we cannot bomb indiscriminately, we could kill our compatriot.

That's when Kako arrives.

Kako: A message has arrived from the Iron Blood fleet.

Fusou: What is it?

Kako: The Azur Lane fleet is here.

Fusou: What?

On another side of the island Prinz Eugen next to Z23, Z1, Köln are keeping watch.

Z23: Azur Lane.

Z1: What do we do? Do we remove them?

Prinz Eugen: Remember that we are here to watch over the island, if necessary we will give fire support to the Empire.

CHAPTER 41

AZUR LANE FLEET

On the battleship Oklahoma, she sees the mission reports with Helena and San Diego.

Oklahoma: There are a lot of buildings on such a small island.

Helena: I think at one time there were many residents in the area.

San Diego: It is totally destroyed.

Helena: Well, it's like this after the siren attack.

San Diego: I understand.

POV AZUR LANE FLEET

Enty watched the radar from the CIC and the communications on the enemy radio and had collected a lot of information, in the sky there were also the 4 E-2C watching the sky and collecting the enemy positions.

Me: [This is ENT, apparently the enemy has noticed our presence]

Wales: [Understood, we're moving on to phase two]

All: [Copied]

Wales: [Enty I want you on my ship now.]

Me: [Understood]

Then Enty started looking through a monitor, on the screen the enemy fleet could be shown, everything was being recorded by the E-2Cs, the E-2Cs were flying at a height that is far out of range of enemy radars, so that these devices are watching without the enemy noticing.

Me: It seems that the enemy doesn't realize that they are under the palm of my hand, Hmmm, there are also many high-ranking siren hidden on this island, it seems that Red Axis is not aware of them. What they might be doing?

Enty could see that there were 20 siren, from the way all of them looked like these siren are clones, but Enty couldn't identify these siren, but if these siren were going to get in the way of the mission, Enty would definitely exterminate them.

Me: Well I think it's better to go to Wales.

Then Enty goes to Wales's ship.

On the battleship Prince of Wales, Wales, Cleveland, and Enty, who controls her ship remotely, are on lookout.

Cleveland: (Looking through a binocular) They overtook us.

Me: Well that makes things easier for us, now we know they are there.

Cleveland: How are we going to get past the lockout?

Wales: Our priority is to rescue them, I don't want to take unnecessary risks and put them in danger. I wonder what Belfast will think since she is the one who will lead the rescue operation.

Me: Well, and if things get ugly, I'll cover them from the decoy fleet, plus my mother will be here to dissuade anyone who gets in her way.

Wales: No, I'd like you to go with the rescue fleet.

Me: Really? Why? A carrier shouldn't fight in a zone that puts her at a disadvantage.

Wales: Yes, that's true, but we're talking about your mother, she's not ready to fight yet.

Me: (sigh) Okay, I'll do it.

Wales: I also know that you are powerful, you can handle the work entrusted to you

Cleveland: (Smiles) Wales is absolutely right. After all, you gave Prinz Eugen and her fleet a monumental beating.

Me: (sigh) Okay.

On the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier, Belfast and Enterprise converse.

Enterprise: You're very calm.

Belfast: Excuse me?

Enterprise: Aren't you worried? Aren't Edinburg and Sheffield your partners?

Belfast: Well, due to my etiquette it is not noticeable, but I am very worried about them, but I must be calm, if I go with my impulses I can endanger my friends.

Enterprise: Well, you're right, I wish I had that prudence you have, after all, I almost blew my turbines going to rescue my little sister.

Belfast: Well, which your daughter was able to prevent you from blowing them up, but in that opportunity you were very impulsive according to what Vestal-sama told me.

Enterprise: (Adjusts the cap) You're right, well, shall we start?

Belfast: Yes.

Enterprise: [This is Archer 1, fleet-wide start of attack]

In that all the ships of Azur Lane begin to accelerate.

CHAPTER 42

AIRCRAFT CARRIER ENTERPRISE

At the location of the anti-aircraft machine guns Javelin and Laffey talk.

Javelin: (Sad) I wonder if Ayanami will be in this match.

Laffey: It's very possible.

Javelin: If I see her again... I'll...

With the imperial fleet, Ayanami gazes at the seascape with a wistful expression from the lookout post of the battleship Fusou.

Atago: Do ​​you have any concerns?

Atago walks in Ayanami's direction, Atago is worried about Ayanami.

Atago: If you have a concern, you can discuss it with me.

Then Atago extends her arms to hug Ayanami, Ayanami is a little surprised and remembers something, a few hours ago Atago hugged Takao and Takao almost fell in love with Atago's hug, which Ayanami starts to back away in panic.

Ayanami: (Sneaky panic) Ayanami is fine!

¡PLANK!

It's the sound of metal, Ayanami had backed away quite quickly causing her back to hit the armored rail causing that sound, Atago gets a little depressed by Ayanami's actions.

Atago: (uncomfortable) You don't have to be so cautious. (Smiles) Do you have any doubts about fighting?

Ayanami: I don't dislike fighting...

Atago: But you don't like it either?

Ayanami: I love all of the Sakura empire, they are my comrades, friends in arms, you are very important to me... but... the same is on the other side... they have friends like me, they laugh at each other from the other... both they and we protect something... (Sad expression)

Finding no words to cheer Ayanami up, Atago opts for the easiest, saying that any hug is much better than using words.

Atago hugs Ayanami, although Ayanami was resistant at first, after Ayanami confirmed that Atago was only hugging her with good intentions, Ayanami stopped resisting and allowed herself to be hugged by Atago, this made Ayanami feel a little better.

On one side of the island two Zuikaku reconnaissance planes fly close to the destroyed buildings, from one of the Edinburg and Sheffield buildings they look out to confirm the situation, but Edinburg looked out far outside and was exposed to one of the Zero planes, this plane passed the information to all the ships of the empire and then all the planes of the empire that were in the air began a bombing run, Sheffield changes position and Edinburg begins to run in panic and Akashi takes refuge inside a refrigerator.

Sheffield: Tch, hey Edinburg! Don't you get tired of screwing up!?

Edinburg: (running) Yeah! I get tired! I get so tired of screwing up!

Sheffield seeing that Edinburg can't escape, Sheffield takes a big leap and gets between Zuikaku and Edinburg's planes, Sheffield unholsters her pistol-shaped secondary cannons and unleashes a barrage of machine gun fire shooting down both Zuikaku's planes.

Sheffield: Since they found us...

Edinburg: (Panic) What are we going to do now? We have to get out of here!

Akashi: (Coming out of a fridge and panicking) But the island is completely surrounded! Who would have thought that being surrounded by my allies would feel so scary!

Sheffield: That's because they are not your allies now... but well, I think now is a good time to run away, follow me!

In that Sheffield runs away, Edinburg and Akashi follow her, but they can't go as fast because their legs are shaking so much in fear that they can't run properly.

IRON BLOOD FLEET.

At the Iron Blood fleet, Köln reports.

Köln: The Sakura Empire has found the spies!

Prinz Eugen who is on top of a building she stands up and starts to get ready.

Eugen: Well, I guess it's time to work.

Z1: This will be easy, since Z1-SAMA is here.

Z23 approaches Eugen to talk alone.

Z23: Be careful, it's possible that carrier is here.

Eugen: (Irritated) Yes, although I don't know how a giant aircraft carrier like that could give us a beating like that.

August: Yes, I couldn't see any of their planes.

Spee: Yes, our radars are the best, but they didn't detect anything, neither the planes nor the enemy fleet.

Eugen: Don't worry, he won't catch me off guard twice.

Z23: ¡Z1!

Z1: What's up?

Z23: Do not trust yourself, there may be many setbacks.
