*Cargo Ship - Marshall Islands

*Third Person POV

Onboard a random cargo ship near the Marshall Islands, Royston and a humanoid siren killed the manjuus and meowofficers onboard 

Royston: Listen up you guys. Azur Lane... Really suck

Royston and the humanoid siren laughed before going over to a captured Richelieu who was tied up and gagged

Royston: a message to the Richelieu simp for spying on us

Royston opened his centipede tome and impaled the tied up and gagged Richelieu In the heart with a centipede leg before using it to take her heart out

Royston: Hahahaha. With Evan out of the way and that Northern Parliament Commander unavailable for a few days, I'm free to terrorize the seas as much as I want

Royston laughed evilly before snapping his fingers

Royston: You. Get rid of this trash for me

Royston instructed the humanoid siren before pointing at Richelieu's dead body

Humanoid Siren: Right away. Grand Admiral

After the humanoid siren picked up Richelieu's dead body and threw it out to the sea, Royston laughed evilly

Royston: I wonder if those so-called goddesses of this Gamindustri world are really goddesses. wait till I get the ability to travel to other worlds then I might pay them a small visit and fight them to see if they're really goddesses or just some wannabes. Hell I might even pay a small visit to that Richelieu simp and warn him about the consequences of spying on us

Just then Royston received an alert on his transmitter and picked it up

Royston: looks like we have some uninvited guests

*Evan's USS Nimitz - Marshall Island

*Evan POV

Nepgear (on phone): Please stop this Evan! You're not the elemental wizard I know

Evan: You don't even know the real me. Now please stop bothering me!

Before Nepgear could reply, there was a loud explosion and my USS Nimitz rocked a little

Nepgear (on phone): What was that?

Evan: Nothing

Nepgear (on phone): That doesn't sound like nothing. That sounds like you're being attacked

Evan: Another reason why you should stop bothering me

I then hung up my phone and began to prepare defenses

*Evan's Azur Lane Base

*Third Person POV

Back on Evan's Azur Lane Base, Enterprise and Illustrious have set up a small fleet consisting of Forbin, Vauquelin, Gascogne and themselves to ensure that Evan doesn't get himself killed.

Enterprise: Have you contacted Admiral Kenneth, Illustrious

Illustrious: Yes

Enterprise: Good. Let's set off

???: Wait!

The group turned and saw Glorious, Lexington and Valiant approaching them

Valiant: Allow us to join you on this mission. I'll personally lead this small fleet consisting of the three of us if I have to

Enterprise: Aren't you three pregnant?

Glorious: As long as we stay inside our production ships, then we should be fine

Lexington: After all, our husband needs us otherwise he's going to get himself killed

Enterprise: Very well then. You three come along but be careful

Glorious: We will

Enterprise nodded her head before looking out at sea

Enterprise: Let's go everyone! We will save our commander and prevent him from getting himself killed! Azur Lane! Emergency Sortie!!

Everyone except for Enterprise: Roger!!

*Evan's USS Nimitz - Marshall Islands

*Evan POV

I looked at the severely damaged flight deck of my Nimitz from the island of the carrier

Mir: We defeated the sirens attacking us

Evan: At the cost of our ability to launch aircraft

As there are no manjuus or meowofficers accompanying us, there's no one to fix the damage. While I was deciding on what to do, I received a transmission

Royston: Didn't expect you to be here Evan. I'll be waiting at Kwajalein Atoll for our fight

Evan: We're going to Kwajalein Atoll Mir

I adjusted the throttle and ship wheel to go to Kwajalein Atoll to fight Royston

*Timeskip

*Kwajalein Atoll

Evan: What happened here?

The whole place looked like it had been napalmed. The buildings were on fire, there was destruction everywhere and the trees were on fire as well

???: Hahahaha

an evil laughter caught my attention and I saw Royston himself walking into my sight some distance away carrying what looks like some sort of Centipede rod or Scepter along with his Signature Centipede Tome

Royston: Hello there Azur Lane. I have been waiting for you

Evan: Royston...

I slammed my Staff of First Dawn on the ground and casted a lightning bolt at Royston but Royston dodged it and the lightning bolt hit the ground causing a small explosion. We then charged at each other and clashed our weapons. My Staff of First Dawn against Royston's Centipede rod or scepter
