*Energy reactor room of the Orochi MK II

*Evan POV

Shells, planes and spells whizzed around as we attacked Shinano with weakened versions of our attacks after Royston revived her and commenced round 2

Shinano summoned more butterflies but they were destroyed by fighter planes from Aquila and Bearn. I got closer to Shinano and spammed my fire magic, casting small fire pellets in a shotgun effect. As I was close to Shinano, all fire pellets hit and Shinano took the maximum damage

Shinano summoned more butterflies that attacked me while she retreated some distance away in the process

I commanded Mir to use Dragon Flash while i casted Circle of Wind almost simultaneously after that, creating Swift of Wind, a fusion skill where Mir spins around and launches air blades at enemies

Some wind blades found their mark, generating some sort of glitter while the others misses and hit the wall

Evan: Attack!

I thumped my Staff of First Dawn and the glittery powder homes in on Shinano, damaging her a a few moments later a barrage of AP and HE Shells flew out of nowhere and hit Shinano

Veneto: are you alright

Evan: yes

Shinano glared at Veneto for a while before summoning more butterflies to attack Veneto

Evan: Not on my watch! Mir Dragon Flash

I did the same thing like just now, making Mir spin around and launching air blades at the butterflies to generate more of those glittery powder before activating them to damage the butterflies and Shinano. I then charged up my Staff of First Dawn with ice magic before aiming it at the butterflies and Shinano, marking them with a small light blue crosshair in the process before pointing my Staff of First Dawn upwards and shooting a bunch of icicles that rained down on the butterflies and Shinano. The icicles destroyed the butterflies and damaged Shinano

Evan: Attack!

Veneto fired a salvo of HE And AP shells while i casted a long range lightning bolt. Both attacks hit Shinano, knocking her to the ground. however she quickly recovered and continued summoning butterflies and launching aircraft to attack us

I activated counter magic by performing a staff attack just before a butterfly hit me, creating a magic circle beneath me surrounded by a barrier and some sort of purple flame, damaging any butterflies nearby. Thanks to counter magic, some of my MP has been restored

Evan: Keep fighting everyone! We can win this!

*Timeskip

Evan: Come Mir!

I called Mir back after he is executing Dive of Thunder, one of my fusion skills, creating powerful electric orbs that travel on the ground, damaging Shinano, and forming magic debris in the process. By calling Mir back while he's directly attacking, I activated Return Dive, buffing everyone's attack speed. After that, I activated the magic debris that was formed by my fusion skills hitting enemies, in this case Dive of Thunder, further damaging Shinano. Meanwhile, My shipgirls are attacking Shinano with everything they have while trying to avoid the planes that was sent at them

Veneto, Foch, Alergie, Le Terrible, Shimakaze and Suruga were firing their main guns at Shinano

Aquila and Bearn launched attack planes from their flight decks while also providing fighter cover for us

After a few moments of attacking and tanking Damage dealt to us by Shinano, she started spamming planes while also summoning butterflies to attack us

Suruga: looks like Lady Shinano has been weakened

Shimakaze: look out for those butterflies!

Evan: I got this

I charged up my Staff of First Dawn with Ice Magic and began aiming it at the butterflies, marking them with a small light blue crosshair in the process before pointing my Staff of First Dawn upwards and shooting a bunch of icicles that rained down on the butterflies, destroyed them

Evan: Shinano, I know this will definitely hurt but please endure it for now

I charged up my Staff of First Dawn with fire magic and aimed it Shinano, marking her with a small red cross in the process before releasing a firebolt that damages and traps Shinano in a vortex of explosions before exploding once more, furthering damaging her and sending her flying

Once Shinano is starting to recover, we gathered together facing Shinano

Veneto: The Final Blow

Evan's Shipgirls: Final Salvo Requested!!

Evan: Final Salvo Approved! Explosively Suppress it!

Evan's Shipgirls: roger!

Veneto, Foch, Alergie, Le Terrible, Shimakaze and Suruga charged up their cannons while Aquila and Bearn got their air groups ready. Meanwhile, I got ready to join in the Final Salvo as well

Veneto, Foch, Alergie, Le Terrible, Shimakaze and Suruga: Laser cannon!!

Aquila and Bearn: Incinerating Air Strike!!

Evan: Aurora Ray!!

our combined finishers hit Shinano just as she recovered from my attack, causing a huge explosion. once the smoke cleared Shinano laid on the ground motionless

Shinano: ugh what happened? What is this place?

Suruga: Lady Shinano?

Shinano: Suruga?

We rushed to Shinano once it is clear that Shinano is back to Normal

Shinano: Shimakaze, Suruga, everyone

Just then, Royston's video feed popped up

Royston: What are you doing Shinano? those are our enemies exterminate them

Shinano: I refuse

Royston: What was that? you dare defy me? Take this!

instantly Shinano was zapped until she became unconscious again

Royston: I won't allow my Shipgirls to be weak! Get Up Right Now!!

Royston demanded as he kept zapping Shinano

Shimakaze and Suruga: Lady Shinano!

Evan: Stop this Royston!!!!

Like I expected, Royston didn't listen and kept zapping Shinano

Royston: Not responding? Very well then. Do you want your Shinano back, Evan? Here you go

Royston took out a remote controller with a giant red button and pressed the giant red button. Shinano let out a blood curdling scream before laying down motionless

Royston: I have destroyed Shinano's core wisdom cube. She has five minutes left before she dies
