Sheffield's POV

after escaping the Sakura Empire and their forces,we managed to make a good amount of distance and hide ourselves within a abandoned and ruined city,that was a distance away from the Sakura Empire base,we took a breather inside a tall tower to keep a good eye out on our surroundings while we rested and assessed our situation as we needed to see what it was we stole incase it was stolen back

unfortunately for us,Sakura Empire was determined to get their precious box back from us and quickly closed the distance we made and surrounded the city,blockading our exits and filling the skies with aircraft to find us

fortunately for us though,aircraft did little if they couldn't stay in the air for more than 10 seconds as the Sakura Empire aircraft we're being sliced in half and shredded right after they took off,courtesy of Sir Royal,using his power to completely decimate the air power of the Sakura Empire as their planes fell faster than they took off

but to add to our problem of being surrounded,Edinburgh had brought a ship from the Sakura Empire with us after she refused to be left behind,she had green hair,green cat ears and golden colored eyes and wore a white baggy sleeved dress 

she was scaredy cat to say the least as she was a repair ship but she did hold some use as she had seen the Sakura Empire's secret weapon as she claims

Sheffield:are you sure of what you saw

???:yes,nya,I swear nya

Edinburgh:what do we do,Sheffy

Sheffield:well,if she does know of the super weapon secret,she may be useful to us but we can't be sure of that information

???:please nya,don't leave Me here nya,they'll turn Me into cat sushi if they catch Me nya

Edinburgh:please calm down,we're not going to leave you here

Sheffield:that's not decided yet

???:nya!!!

Edinburgh:Sheffy!?!

Royal:we're not going to leave her here 

we all turned our attention over to Sir Royal who was looking out of the tower window as he was watching the Sakura Empire fleet,that was on the outskirts of the city before he stood up and walked over to us

Sheffield:Sir Royal??

Royal:Azur Lane is trying to reunify the factions is what I understand as our goal,if we bring her back with us,that's one step closer to our goal,besides,even if she doesn't know about the super weapon,she may be able to tell us some info about the Sakura Empire at least-

Edinburgh:yes,see Sheffy,you don't always have to be rude to people

Royal:on the other hand though

Edinburgh:huh?

Royal:it's possible they knew of our attempt to infiltrate their base,which makes it likely that she maybe an attempt at counter infiltration

Akashi:no Nya!!,Akashi could never infiltrate nya,I'm just a repair ship nya

Royal:even so,the possibility is still there,what can you tell us to think otherwise

Akashi:I really do know of the super weapon nya,I saw it with my own eyes nya,I promise

Sheffield:making promises to us,means little,we need concrete proof or actual facts

Akashi:that object inside that box is the key to the superweapon nya!!!

we looked at her a somewhat surprised look awe didn't actually expect her to give us the information so easily and willingly as she was pretty much on the verge of tears,we all looked at her before looking to each other as Sir Royal seemed convinced enough

Royal:I respect you choice to live,it shows you have more intelligence than most of our adversaries

Akashi:please don't hurt Me nya

Royal:Ms.Edinburgh,please open the box and see what is inside

Edinburgh moved away from our group and grabbed the box as she brought it over to us while she opened the locks before setting it down in front of us and opening it,the sides and top of the box unfolded,showing all of us the contents of the box to us as we looked and had it shock us to our core

inside the box,laid a glowing Black Wisdom Cube,that shone a purple light at the center,the sheer amount of power we could sense from it was shocking and terrifying,even enough to make Sir Royal sweat despite his own incredible power as we all stared at the object in front of us

Sheffield:this is-

Royal:beyond dangerous

Sir Royal quickly closed up the box and locked it back up as we all processed what we saw while looking at the box as we tried to make sense of what we saw and what it could possibly mean,with this information in our hands now,this could unravel the entire plan of the Sakura Empire and even some secrets of the Sirens

Royal:what we just saw,stay between us until we return to base,am I clear

Sheffield:yes

Edinburgh:understood

Akashi:that is if we can leave nya,we're surrounded nya

Royal:I've already sent for reinforcements,we just need wait it out and not get spotted

Edinburgh:Akashi,is there anything we need to know about the Sakura Empire right now,anything that could give us an edge against them

Akashi:uhh,not really nya,they have an Iron Blood task force helping them nya but that's it nya

Sheffield:who would they have sent to retrieve the box,anyone specific

Akashi:probably those who don't know much a few who know a little about it but no one specific

Royal:no useful information to use,what about those Iron Blood's,who's in the task force

Akashi:uhhhh,I don't know nya,all I know is Prinz Eugen nya

Sheffield:so she's here

Edinburgh:this must be very important to Iron Blood as well if she's here

Royal:who is Prinz Eugen

Edinburgh:a Iron Blood leader in a way,she's one of Bismarck's most trusted

Royal:I see,how strong is she

Sheffield:she can be troublesome but against you,Sir Royal,she should be no problem

Akashi:uuhhhh,who is the boy by the way nya?,I thought-

Sheffield:we're the one asking questions here,unless you want to be shark food,you'll be quiet

Akashi:s-s-sorry nya

Royal:if this is all they really have to offer in trying to bring us down,then there should be no worry but that Cube seems more dangerous than it really looks

Edinburgh:what do we do about it,Sir Royal

Royal:I'm in no position to make that decision,we just have to get it back to her Majesty and she'll decide,until then,Ms.Sheffield,I'll leave the box to you

Sheffield:why Me,would it not be safer in your hands

Royal:i'm likely going to be the on fighting to cover our escape,since that is the case,you and Ms.Edinburgh will have to be the one's to take the box and Ms.Akashi here back to the fleet,I'll follow once we're clear

Edinburgh:I see,will you be alright fighting on your own

Royal:I've fought alone against more advanced tin cans thanthe Sakura Empire,I'll be fine

Sheffield:I still do not advise this procedure but I do not believe,I can convince you otherwise

Royal:you'll have to be my Sisters to do that

Sheffield:how long until they arrive?

Royal:less than 9 minutes now,it won't be long until then,so let's sit tight and wait

after the discussion finished,Sir Royal returned to watching the window while edinburgh took the box and kept it close as I went to go watch over a different window so we could have better coverage over the area we were in as we all waited for our rescue fleet to arrive and help us

Warspite's POV
__________________

both fleets of the Eagle Union and Royal Navy sailed forward at full speed as we rushed to our destination in order to rescue our infiltration team,who have found themselves trapped by the enemy in an abandoned city 

guns were at the ready,planes were in the sky with more ready to launch and a plan was memorized in the mind for a smooth mission,get in and get everyone out was the simple plan everyone had agreed to and with the arrival of Valiant's fleet,we would have a supporting 2nd wave to assist us if the plan doesn't go well

though,we don't expect to need much assistance from them,seeing as Brother was already inside with the infiltration team,it would be easy to tear the enemy from the inside out and outside in at the same time but it was good to be safe side of things,especially when our enemies are very determined to get what they want

there was also the possibilities of Sirens appearing during the mission,which we have to account for when the time comes but the chances of them appearing should be low and even if they do appear,Royal's presence in the area should be more than enough to deal with them,knowing full well,that he'll be prioritizing them over the Crimson Axis

Q.E:how long until we arrive

Warspite:not long now,your Majesty,Eagle union's carriers say,that they've found the island and it's as the report says,the Sakura Empire have it surrounded

Q.E:what of the Iron Blood task force

Warspite:no sightings of them so far,location is unknown

Q.E:what of the team,are they alright

Warspite:the team should be fine but we can't be sure,from what it looks like,they haven't been found yet but we still haven't been able to contact them

Q.E:most likely,they can't be found,Brother must be making it impossible for them to launch aircraft but the Sakura Empire must be making some interference 

Warspite:there is little light with this cloudy weather but there is enough for him to use

Q.E:what of Valiant's fleet

Warspite:still on schedule,they'll arrive a little later than us,thus acting as a second wave

Q.E:good,is everyone in both fleets ready

Warspite:yes,everyone is prepared to fight and everyone knows the plan

Q.E:excellent 

the Queen let out a sigh as we both looked beyond the horizon,waiting for the ruined city to come into view as we continued to move forward at full speed,planes passed overhead of us,coming and going from the Carriers we were with as I looked at her Majesty who seemed to be in thought

Warspite:is something wrong,your Majesty

Q.E:not really,I just feel as if something is missing

Warspite:what could that be,your Majesty

Q.E:I'm not quite sure,I have you here,we're going to get Brother soon and Valiant is nearing our location but I feel as if something is missing from all of this

Warspite:I'm not quite sure I can help you with this one,your Majesty

Q.E:*sigh*it's alright,for now let's focus on the mission

Warspite:of course,your Majesty

???:YOUR MAJESTY!!!!

the sound of a loud and distressed yell resounded in our ears as we both turned to look at the source of the yell,to find that it was wales,who was quickly making her way to us as if she had seen a ghost

Q.E:Wales,what is the matter,why are you screaming

Wales:your.......Majesty,we just managed,to get into contact with the infiltration team

Warspite:that's good,what did they say

Wales:it's not good,they've been found are on the move and Siren have been confirmed in the area along with 2 High ranking Sirens and multiple groups of humanoid Sirens

Q.E:impossible,what are the Sirens doing here

Warspite:are they trying to go after Brother?

Wales:the eagle Union suspect,that the item stolen from the Sakura Empire is of Siren Origin but it's undetermined,of what the item is

Q.E:Wales,have the fleet open fire on all hostiles once their in sight and have the rescue team enter the city,Warspite,you will join the rescue team and find Brother

Warspite:of course,your Majesty 

Wales:what about Iron Blood,your Majesty

Q.E:what about them,I said open fire on ANY hostiles,if they are taken down or surrender,then capture them and bring them in

Wales:of course,your Majesty

wales quickly left to join the rest of the fleet and most likely to relay the orders given to her by Sister as I looked over to her Majesty who signalled me to get going as well,I nodded at her and quickly left after as I went to join the rescue team that will help Me with locating and rescuing Brother

the team would be a mixed fleet from the Royal Navy and the Eagle Union as our allies offered their best radar Cruiser,Helena,to help speed things up as I saw the team already gathered on one of the member's ships 

I quickly joined them as I boarded the ship,alerting them all to my presence as they all turned to face Me,while the Eagle Union girl,named Cleveland who I believe was reminding everyone of our objective,stepped in front of everyone and came face to face with Me

Warspite:is everyone ready Cleveland

Cleveland:ready as we'll ever be,Helena got a fix on your Brother already too

Helena:we should go,he's moving fast with the infiltration team,they seem to be in combat

Warspite:let's dally any longer then,our only goal is to get in and get everyone out,is that clear

Everyone:right!

Warspite:then let's go,time is of the essence

we all summoned our riggings and jumped onto the water as we quickly covered ourselves in ocean blue cloaks,that were handed out by Cleveland for the team to aid in our concealment as we all quickly surfed away from the fleet and made our way towards the ruins,where we only assumed a large fight between Brother and the Crimson Axis was happening

________________

Royal's POV
________________

as we ran from through the the ruined city with our rigs equipped and ready to go,lasers passed and whizzed by us,colliding and adding to the destruction of the already destroyed city as a group of Sirens chased us down through the open passages of the city

we did our best to shake them off our trail while making our way towards the rescue fleet after we saw them from the tower as we pulled a few sharp turns,entering and exiting buildings and even collapsing a few buildings of our own to block their path but they kept on chasing,finding new ways if their path was blocked or upright just blasting their way through an debri in their way

Iron Blood was also hot on our tail but we managed to get away from them before the Sirens arrived but we had no idea where they were now as our attention of escape had to be quickly focused on the Siren behind us

we managed to get near to the outer part of the city however,meaning we were close to exiting the city,which would give us a straight open area to traverse through towards the fleet,unfortunately,with these Sirens right behind us,going through open oceans made everyone but Me easy targets for their attacks and I doubted that they were here for Me

I had to prioritize the delivery of the box to the fleet,so my only option here was to stall out the Sirens and possibly Iron Blood in a fight while Ms.Sheffield and Ms.Edinburgh get the box to the fleet,problem was,I have no idea how many Sirens and Iron Bloodships there were in the area,so it was possible I would be fighting an entire faction and multiple hordes

Edinburgh:we're nearing the edge of the city

Sheffield:we'll be fish in a barrel for those Sirens in open waters,these ones are way faster than the regulars,we won't reach the fleet before they catch us

Royal:then both of you will continue toward the fleet,get the box to my sister and Akashi to the fleet,I'll hold off the Sirens here

Edinburgh:we can't leave you here to fight on your own!!

Sheffield:her Majesty wouldn't allow it

Royal:we have our priorities,you both will get the box and Akashi to the fleet,I'll be fine fighting here for a bit,all I have to do is stall them out until you both get to safety

Edinburgh:are you sure you'll be alright

Royal:I've raided Siren fortresses and strongholds on my own in the North,these ones and a few Iron Bloods are nothing

Edinburgh:................

Sheffield:..............fine,we'll radio in once we regroup with the fleet,after that your to retreat and rendezvous with all of us

Royal:you've got it,now go!!!

we reached the edge of the city as Ms.Sheffield,Ms.Edinburgh and I split up with the 2 maids quickly speeding towards the fleet while I stopped just small distance in front of our exit to turn around and prepare myself to face the opponent,that had been chasing us as I took my sword and took a stance

from the exit we took,8 Sirens came out and flew straight towards Me with 4 of them peeling off from the group and quickly changing their course to chase after their objective,which,what we assumed to be the box 

I slice 3 of the 4 that went for Me while I quickly turn to my side and fire a barrage of shells,that shredded the Sirens that peeled off to chase the maids as I then turned around and thrusted my sword directly forward,stabbing the remaining Siren in the middle of the head before I kicked the body off of my sword

after I killed those 8,another 15 came out and with them was the small child looking Siren,named Observer and another Siren who looked unique,she had long purple hair,tied into a ponytail and the usual glowing golden colored eyes of the Sirens,she wore a short white shirt  with a yellow necktie and very skin tight shorts

they all floated in the air above Me as Observer and the other one,who had a maniacal smile on her face floated forward while I readied myself to stall them for however long everyone needed 

Observer:brave of you to stand alone while you let your allies escape

Royal:foolish of you to come fight me now,that I don't have to worry about those 2 getting in the way

???:hahahahahaha,the pipsqueak can talk big,if you think those junkies in the North were any challenge,you haven't seen anything yet,things aren't the same here

Royal:you need 17 Sirens to fight 1 ship,I don't see a lot of difference,you seem to be just as weak any other Siren

Observer:Purifier,don't bother with him,our goal is the box,take the other group retrieve it,we'll keep him here

Purifier:you go get it,I want to fight him

Observer:don't argue with Me now,their getting away

Purifier:then get going

Royal:none of you are getting near them,I'm your opponent here and I'm not letting you past Me

Purifier:let's kill him then,so we can both go

Observer:*sigh*why must I be grouped with the stupid ones

Purifier:all units attack!!!,tear him to shreds!!!

as soon as they were given a command,all the lesser looking Sirens began their attacks as they aimed and fired their lasers while some began to fly towards Me as I started moving backwards to avoid the incoming attacks while I sliced the incoming Sirens in half

Purifier was next to charge towards Me while Observer stayed back and fired her lasers but as soon as I kill all the incoming Sirens,I quickly dashed forward into the fray of lasers as I met Purifier head on,we clashed at a middle point as my sword met her rigging,that somewhat resembled a manta ray 

I powered through and overpowered her in strength as I pushed her back and deflected a few  incoming lasers back at her before I dashed towards her again as I used her rigging as a platform to jump off of,letting me quickly close the distance between Me and Observer,who didn't see Me coming

with quick and easy motion,I sliced half of the tentacle off of Observers rigging while also blowing 8 of the Sirens that were firing lasers at Me before I landed back on the water,as soon as I landed,I quickly moved to the side and dodged Purifier's attempt at a punch as she hit the wall with her fist,completely breaking the building she hit as it began to collapse,forcing all of us to move out of the way,separating me from the Sirens

I surfed away towards one side while the Sirens flew away to the other I turned to their direction and quickly opened fired on them before they could reorganize as I killed another 2 of them,leaving only the 2 special kind of Siren and 1 more normal Siren

the 3 returned fire in retaliation as I quickly dodged and crossed through the debri of the fallen building as they continued to miss while I closed the distance between us,I hopped into the air with immense speed and quickly stabbed Purifier in the stomach before pulling my sword out of her and making a small off of her to behead the last regular Siren as I then used her a jump off point as I springboarded toward Observer with my sword overhead as I sliced her clean in half while we all fell back onto the water with only Me alive

once I landed on the water,I looked at the bodies of the Siren I killed and realized I had killed them instead of stalling them as I sighed to myself for getting carried away,on the other hand,if they were dead they wouldn't be able to follow so it wasn't all bad in the end,unfortunately however,it didn't end there

the sound of cannon fire sounded in my ears from within the distance as I quickly jumped back to avoid the shots as I looked over to the source of the attack to see,that Iron Blood had caught up with seemingly more people than before

leading them were 3 people who seemed to stand out as they seemed to be the one giving orders to this group,1 of them had long white hair and somewhat amber-ish colored eyes,she wore a gray and black dress with golden buttons going up the side of the front with red sleeves and gray sleeves

another had strawberry blonde hair with red streak and brown eyes,she wore a black button up shirt underneath a black uniform and a short black jacket all with red and white lining and accenting and a short black skirt

the last one had light blonde hair and blue eyes,she wore a black skin tight dress underneath a white,blue and red uniform that extended down to look like some kind of cape with skin tight black shorts,a hat and hair pin on the side of her hair

the rest of them seemed similar to the last girl but didn't seem all to important as they all aimed their weapons at Me while I stood up straight,seeing as there didn't seem to be any threats among them

???:it seems like we finally caught up to you,little boy

Royal:white hair,cocky attitude,leading a task force,the description matches,so I assume your Prinz Eugen

Eugen:oh,so you know who I am

Royal;I know,that you'll be dead soon enough,if you don't leave right now

???2:haha,look at the little boy,acting all tough,what are you going to drink tea and bore us to death

I gave her small confident smile as I turned away from them and moved towards 2 bodies,that fell from the air earlier,which so happened to land right next to each other as I crouched down and lifted 1 half of Observer's body and the lifeless corpse,that Purifier was as I smiled at the Iron Blood task force in front of Me as some of them looked like they were about to throw up or curl into a ball

Royal:I can assure you,I can do much more than be nice

______________

Q.E's POV
______________

everything was going fine on our side of the battle as we had entered a stalemate with the Sakura Empire for control of a few exits of the city but we managed to rescue Sheffield and Edinburgh who were escorted back by Warspite's group when both encountered each other back in the city after the rescue team defeated a group of Sirens,that chased them for the box they brought back

unfortunately however,things didn't go well for us when the sudden appearance of Iron Blood from behind our group blocked our breakaway route,a full fleet of very strong fighters appeared and sealed our means of escaping from combat as with the Eagle union's aircraft,we quickly confirmed sightings of enemy leaders within Iron Blood's fleet

first off was Bismarck,being the Faction Leader of Iron Blood,led the fleet herself,she had long blonde hair and blue eyes,wearing a black uniform with metal shoulder pads,holding a long black and red cape,she wore a short black skirt,a black cap and had a bit of fur covering some of the metal padding on her shoulder

with her was Graf Zeppelin,one of Iron Blood's only Aircraft Carriers and the confirmed 4th most trusted member of the iron Blood's leadership,she had long white hair and red eyes and wore a black blouse underneath a long white jacket with a fur collar

on another part of the fleet,the one known as Friedrich de Grosse,a powerhouse of firepower in Iron Blood and admittedly a terrifying enemy on the battlefield,she long black hair and golden colored eyes,wearing a black dress with golden accents and button,that extended down as a cape like extension above a skin tight bodysuit,she carried a conductors wand with red metal gloves and  red horns coming from her head

lastly was a newer face,we were not familiar with,she had short white hair and blue eyes and wore a simple white uniform with a cape extension going down the back and a black skirt above a skin tight bodysuit 

our escape route was blocked by Iron Blood and we had very determined Sakura Empire in front of us,along with the potential threat of Sirens in the area,plus Brother was nowhere to be seen and his last known location was halfway across this giant ruined city,still,we had our objectives,get the high value object and get everyone out,one way or another,we would be leaving by peace or by force

Q.E:Enterprise

Enterprise:things aren't looking good here,Q.E,we need to do something fast

Q.E:Illustrious will have her fighters stall the Sakura Empire,have all of Eagle Union's Carriers focus on taking down Iron Blood's air power

Enterprise:she's one Carrier vs six Carriers over there,that won't do much and without your Brother's help in clearing the skies,taking air superiority is not going to be easy

Q.E:well we need to do something and doing nothing is not going to help us

Enterprise:if we can have warspite taken down Graf Zeppelin,then Eagle Union will focus down the rest of the enemy Carriers while the rest of the fleet can overrun Iron Blood

Q.E:Warspite,can you make that shot

Warspite:no problem,your Majesty but we'll need to draw their attention away from Me

Enterprise:Cleveland,take Helena and some of our Cruisers and make a flanking distraction

Cleveland:you've got it

Q.E:Belfast,your and Neptune,Wales and Javelin will join them,keep their attention on you for as long as possible

Belfast:understood your Majesty,we'll see it done

everyone quickly dispersed to proceed to their objectives as Belfast and Cleveland's team split off and drew fire away from us while they attempted to flank the iron Blood fleet who had stopped their advance after seeing the separated fleet 

while their shifted,Eagle Union's Carriers launched another wave and focused on the Sakura Empire aircraft,that were heading towards us while Warspite silently split off from us and headed in the opposite direction of Cleveland and Belfast as she went and looked for a good position to hit Graf Zeppelin

as for the fleet,we open fired on every enemy we could see,deciding not to pick targets and just shoot at any hostile in range as we did what we could to draw everyone's attention away from Warspite,who had the most important role in this attack

we waited for the plan to succeed as the fleet couldn't keep watch over Warspite or the distraction fleet due to the attacks we were dodging ourselves,we could only wait and hope the attacks succeeds in taking down Graf Zeppelin to perhaps turn the tides of battle in our favor as a few moments of waiting was all it took for us to hear the sound of Warspite's guns going off

we all turned our attention to Iron Blood along with the Sakura empire and Iron Blood itself as they saw Warspite's shells fly straight towards Graf Zeppelin,by the time they realized who the targets it was already too late to do anything as Graf Zeppelin took the shells head on without  a defense,covering her in smoke from the impact of the shells

everyone saw the damage done as Iron Blood quickly reeled back to check on their Carrier while the distraction group quickly changed into a attack group as they charged forward with no worry or fear after seeing Iron Blood's only Carrier now downed

both Me and Enterprise were also about to give the order to attack but halted from doing so as the smoke around Graf Zeppelin cleared to show that she had not gone down but was severely injured as she had a badly damaged shield around her while coughed out smoke and weakly stood back up 

now seeing that the attack had failed,the distraction group quickly made what distance they could from Iron Blood before moving back towards the fleet as we all saw iron Blood rejoice while their leadership looked over to us as we gritted our teeth in frustration and annoyance,that the attack had failed while Warspite returned to my side

Bismarck:it looks like your surprise attack has failed little Queen

Warspite:my apologies your Majesty,the new girls seemed to be the one to put up that shield around her,it took the brunt of the hit

FDG:nicely done Mainz,you are proving your strength and worth already

Mainz:thank you Friedrich

Bismarck:anymore tricks little Queen or is that dog of yours all out of bite

Warspite:how dare you,you-

Q.E:on the contrary Bismarck,you are a fool

Bismarck:you still think you can get out of here alive?

Q.E:don't you know Bismarck,mess with a Wolf and you'll deal with the entire Pack

confused by my riddling but also true words,Iron Blood failed to realize,that our reinforcements had arrived another barrage hit Graf Zeppelin from behind,finally taking her down and taking Iron Blood by surprise as another barrage began to shower on them as they took multiple hits while Eagle Union used the confusion to launch more planes and attack Sakura Empire who took longer to snap out of their dazed state and were now falling behind 

beyond Iron Blood was the source of the attack,that brought down Graf Zeppelin and it was none other than the split force of the Main Royal Navy fleet and their escorts,leading the fleet was of course no one other than my own Sister,Valiant,she had light blonde hair and red eyes and wore a white uniform with a short black skirt,she had a long fur lined red cape going down her back and a small red crown on top of her head as she wielded a sword in one hand

with her was of course the other King George V,that had made the shot,that took down Graf Zeppelin,that was also the other missing Battleship from the Main Fleet and of course her personal Maid,Howe and Hermione,the Battleship had long blonde hair and teal colored eyes,wearing a red winter coat with a thick fur collar and a long white cape behind her,over a skin tight bodysuit as she too,wielded a sword in her hand

the Maid on the other hand long white hair and gold colored eyes,she wore a black maid's uniform with a long and large black and white gown

along with their escorts of 3 Eagle Union Light Carrier,2 Royal Navy Light Carriers,5 Cruisers and 2 Destroyer,they moved against Iron Blood at full speed in an attempt to join the Main Fleet,seeing this opportunity,both me and Enterprise gave the order to attack Iron Blood with all we had to break through their blockade as all guns and aircraft we're turned to Iron Blood

the enemy who had caught us off and surrounded us were now the ones who were surrounded as we all charged forward,not wanting to back down or retreat,Bismarck yelled her orders to her fleet and counter charge at the Main Fleet while Sakura Empire's forces made their way towards us with their aircraft,that was being torn apart by Eagle Union

as my force moved forward to intercept the enemy,I calmly sailed forward as a steady pace as I looked at Bismarck dead in the eyes with a small smile as she charged straight towards Me,passing by all the others while focusing solely on Me

it didn't take her long to close the distance as she surprisingly went by everyone undetected,including Warspite who was focused on the enemy in front of her as I stopped moving forward and readied myself while my opponent charged forward at full speed

Q.E:are you sure,you want to do this Bismarck?,I believe your underestimating Me

Bismarck:you're done,THIS WILL BE YOUR END!!!!!

Q.E:on the contrary-

the loud yell took the attention of many around us as Bismarck lunged forward and thrusted her spear forward at Me as I calmly countered by turning my body to the side by using my foot as a center point to spin,before I used my scepter as a weapon and swept my opponents feet,taking them both off the water and making her fall

before she could even hope to fall face first on the water however,I quickly acted and swiped upward with my stomach and hit her in the stomach,stopping her fall as I pushed her back onto her feet while she clutched her stomach,using her sudden shock as an opening,I quickly smacked her across the face with my scepter after I jumped up to her height,making her tumble begin to fall again,to finish things off,I wound up my scepter like club,like how I would usually hit my hole in ones in golf,before I swung as much force as I could to hit Bismarck into the air

unfortunately,my glorious hit was slightly blocked by her spear,letting her take a small amount of damage but still getting hit into the air,which she used to get back onto her feet as my spectators looked at Me with surprise 

Q.E:the strength,the morale,the abilities of my warriors must stem from somewhere and I assure you,it wasn't from the air

Bismarck:what the hell,when did you-

Q.E:come now Bismarck,I didn't help train the best fighter in the Royal Navy and not learn a few things myself,how could I possibly have thought them

the Iron Blood leader gritted her teeth in annoyance while I gave her a confident smile as I was approached by Warspite,Valiant and Howe as their fleet broke through Iron Blood and joined up with the Main Fleet as we began to mop the floor with Iron Blood

Warspite:magnificent display,Your Majesty

Valiant:I must say Sister,you have quite some arm strength for a Queen

Q.E:it's all in the wrist,Valiant and that hit was not perfect,I'm a bit rusty on my golf skills you see

Howe:apologies for taking so long to arrive,your Majesty

Q.E:no need for apologies Howe,what matters now is we clean up the rest of Iron Blood and find Brother so we can get out of here,

Howe:Ms.Valiant informed Me of this already,I'll help look for him as soon as we are done here

Q.E:excellent,then let's-

before I could finish with my sentence,we all turned around to look at the city at the sound of many buildings beginning to collapse and the sound of Cruiser gunfire going off in the city,all before the sound of large caliber cannons going off as the sound of the Cruisers began to fade while more buildings seemingly began to collapse

Q.E:speak of the devil and he shall arrive

from the edge of the city,smoke erupted from one of the exits as Iron Blood ships,more specifically Cruisers,came flying out,completely battered and beaten with their rigs also most none existent

at the same time,a single body came flying out of a building into the middle of Iron Blood's forces as the body was caught and stopped by Friedrich de Grosse as we saw a strawberry blonde girl wearing black,also completely beaten and battered

the girls was none other than Roon from Iron Blood but in her condition it's possible she may never set sail again as her face was swollen and her rig looked like it was ripped off of her,which was ironic for her as she was said to enjoy brutality like this

FDG:dear gods,it's Roon

Mainz:what hell did this to her

???:wouldn't you like to find out-

not even being slightly surprised to hear the voice of the one who spoke right behind Me begin to move closer,Valiant,Warspite,Myself and all those around,turned around to see Brother slowly walking forward,dragging 2 bodies by the neck with him

Royal:I can show first hand,what happened to them

Bismarck:what the hell is that thing

FDG:it's a shipboy!?!?

Mainz:I thought the chances of making one were too low to make one how-

Q.E:asking questions here is pointless you know,you won't be getting answers,especially from him

Royal:your order,your Majesty

Q.E:stay put for now,Brother,rest up

Royal:very well

Q.E:now then,Bismarck as a merciful Queen,I give you the option to save yourself and surrender,do you accept?

Bismarck:over my dead body

Q.E:you can take up that request with my Brother right here

Royal tossed the 2 bodies over to Iron Blood,to reveal that one of them was Prinz Eugen and the other was completely unrecognizable as they both were beaten with a swollen face and non-existent rig

Bismarck looked at Me after looking at her allies current condition as she glared at Me with a very clear glare of hatred while i looked at her with a look of questioning as I waited for her answer to my question,after a few moments,instead of getting answer,what we got was a brief and bright flash of light from Iron Blood,that temporarily blinded us but when we looked back at them,they were all gone 

everyone quickly looked around to see if they could find them but there was absolutely no trace of them here,as if they were never even here from the start,when we confirmed that they escaped,the search stopped as I and my Sisters looked over to Royal who did not seem to be happy at the moment

Royal:my apologies,your Majesty,I let them escape

Q.E:we'll get them another time,what I want to know is what got you into a foul mood like this

Royal just looked at Me for a few seconds before he sighed and reached into the pockets of his pants and brought out something attached to a string,he showed what it was to reveal,that it was the broken pieces of the necklace Me,Valiant and Warspite gave to him during the end of his training

Warspite:the necklace we gave you-

Royal:I wasn't able to protect it,it broke during combat against Iron Blood,I'm sorry

his ears folded down as a clear sign of sadness as I sighed and took the broken necklace from him as i looked at it myself before giving it back to him and patting his head

Q.E:it's nothing our jewelry makers cannot fix,we'll have it repaired along with this

I lifted and looked over to my scepter which was also broken as it was now bent at a 71 degree angle from my hit on Bismarck as I lowered it down and looked at Royal with sympathy as he tucked away the broken necklace before Valiant jumped him with a very close hug from the side

Valiant:her Majesty is right,little Brother,all things can be fixed so lighten your spirit and show us your always so bright smile

Royal:Sister Valiant,I didn't expect you to be here

Valiant:hmph hmph,I'l always be there to help my oh so dear little Brother,when I heard the news that you were in trouble I had the fleet triple time to get here as soon as possible

Royal:I appreciate the effort,Sister

Warspite:speaking of Valiant,I do believe,I didn't see a certain Cruiser with you,where is she?

Valiant:oh her,she decided her talents were better suited to deal with aircraft,so she volunteered to deal with the Sakura Empire aircraft

Q.E:by volunteered,you mean,disobeyed your orders to get a shortcut to Brother

Valiant:more or less

we all looked over to where the Sakura Empire was to see that they were all gone nd in their place was a lone girl with black hair with blue streaks going down the front and blue eyes,she wore a much more revealing type of maid outfit combined with a bonnet that oddly looked like cat ears 

she stood in the middle of a graveyard of aircraft as the last Sakura Empire plane crashed down in the water while the girl cheerily enjoyed her victory before looking around and seeing us,as the smile on her face grew even wider as she began to make her way to us

Royal:Cheshire

Valiant:oh dear,she's spotted you

Warspite:she's clearly happy

Q.E:not to worry,you two will have all the time in the world to catch up once we're all on our ships and heading back

Valiant:when are we returning

Q.E:right now......ALL SHIPS WE'RE RETURNING TO BASE,RETURN TO ORIGINAL FORMATION,WE'RE HEADING BACK

at my command,everyone began to summon their ships into formation as Royal summoned his ship as well but to the side of the formation as we all boarded our ships and began to sail back to base with our objectives complete and a solid victory under our belt 

Author:that's going to do it guys,I hope you all enjoyed this chapter,Azur Lane now has possession over the Black Wisdom Cube,what could this possibly mean for the story,not really sure,because if you've been through my stories for some time now,you'll know i don't plan anything out,apart from that,hope you all look forward to the next one,until next time
