Sakura Empire secret cave, 10 minutes before Orochi's awakening

Kaga P.O.V

   My sister and I are almost done for the construction of Project Orochi. It took us more time than what we had planned. We had to stay hidden from the rest of the Sakura Empire that are supervising us. Between that and those two spies from the Royal Navy that know about our project. We managed to get the last Black Cube back after the confrontation against Azur Lane.      I was waiting for Akagi to come so we can finally end the construction of Orochi.
I heard footsteps and saw that she is here.

Akagi : I'm here, dear sister. How long have you been waiting for me ?

Kaga : 5 minutes only.

Akagi : Well, are you ready to bring her back to life ?

Kaga : Yes. For Amagi.

Akagi : Then let's use the last Dark Mental Cube.

I saw her put the last Cube inside Orochi. Last thing I know, is that soon after she put it in, we got both blinded by a powerful white light.

???, ??:?? ?.M

I woke up to find myself in a large plain with a Sakura tree above me. As I looked around, I saw that I was next to a cliff, and there was someone there. She looked like Amagi, but she had her back turned. I decided to approach her.

Kaga : Amagi, is that you ?

I put her hand on her shoulder, but when she turned to me, I saw something unexplainable, followed by an awful sound.

SCP-096 : SCCCCRRRREEEEEEEEECCCCCCHHHHHHHHH !!!

Author : You thought it would be Ricardo Milos, but KONO SCP-096 DA !!!

Author : Wait a minute. OH SHIT !!! THERE'S A BREACH IN THE FOUNDATION !!! Let me take care of that before going back to the story.

[Technical difficulties. Please stand by while we do our best to bring your program as soon as possible]

Take 2

I put my hand on her shoulder, but as soon as she turned to me, I feel like something is wrong with her.

Kaga : Amagi, is that really you ?

Amagi? : Of course it is, Kaga. I am Amagi, your sister and Akagi's as well.

Kaga : No... this can't be... you're not really Amagi, aren't you ?

Amagi? : So you know who I am truly. But you're right, I am not Amagi. I am the one known as Orochi

Kaga : But... where's Amagi...?

Orochi : But I am the new Amagi, a better and stronger version of her. And I will love you and Akagi as much as I love the Sakura Empire.

Kaga : No... you're a fake... you're not the real Amagi... you cannot impersonate her.

Orochi : Because you aren't a fake as well ?

Kaga : *tenses* What do... you mean ?

Orochi : It means what it means. Look at you, you were supposed to be my heir, just like Tosa, a powerful battleship serving proudly the Sakura Empire. And yet, here you are, turned into an Aircraft Carrier.

Kaga : No... STOP !!!

Orochi : I also wonder what your sister Tosa would say about that. I think she might be really disappointed if she learned it.

Kaga : STOP THAT !!! LEAVE ME ALONE !!!

Orochi : But don't worry. I will still love you nonetheless, no matter who or what you are.

I fall on my knees, devoured by despair and sadness, regretting everything I've done.

Kaga : I'm sorry...everyone...

Last thing I knew is that everything became dark around me, and I was left alone, before hearing a loud explosion.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM !!!

Iris République HQs, Basilica in the Mozambicain Strait

Charles's P.O.V

  Everyone was outside around a table, enjoying sweets that Dunkerque and I prepared for the rest. Even God and Satan were present.
About that, they decided to reveal themselves a few days ago to everyone. Needless to say, they were shocked and surprised to meet them. They became friends with God really quickly. For Satan, however, that was harder : since he is supposed to be the incarnation of evil, he had to work hard to gain the trust of everyone, but he somehow managed to do it except Richelieu.
I was wondering why until I remembered that she doesn't want him to "corrupt" me unless he wants to end up with her Lance in the "hole in the back", and it explains why he was sweating profusely whenever she was around.

We were all enjoying the sweets with some tea. I was sipping mine until I felt a headache, followed by the voice of my Admiral. Normally, I can see him only when I'm asleep, but he somehow managed to call me while I was wide awake.

Louis de Gaulle : Bonjour,Charles. My apologies for interrupting you in your tea party with everyone but I have urgent news for you.

I suddenly stopped sipping, which didn't go unnoticed by the others that were curious about the reasons.

Richelieu : Is there something wrong, chéri ?

Charles : Yeah, my admiral is somehow able to talk to me right now and have urgent news for me.

Jean Bart : What is it, then ?

Charles : Well, he haven't told me yet. So, Admiral, what is going on ?

Louis de Gaulle : It's about Project Orochi. It has awakened.

I widen my eyes before frowning at the news I got.

Charles : *mutters* This isn't good.

Saint Louis : What is wrong ?

Charles : Project Orochi. Akagi and Kaga ended its construction and has awakened it.

They widen their eyes at their turn. Even Satan.

Le Terrible : What are we gonna do ?

Le Triomphant : Are we gonna destroy it ?

Charles : I will do it. After all, it is a threat for humanity.

Louis de Gaulle : Also, I have another mission for you.

Charles : *mind* : What is it ?

Louis de Gaulle : I want you to unite again Azur  Lane and Crimson Axis.

As I heard that, I spat my tea that ended up on Satan while I was coughing.

Charles : *cough* PARDON, QUOI ?!

Satan : HEY !!!

Louis de Gaulle : Build the helicopter and off to the rescue. Prepare the lifeline, lower the stretcher, and make the rescue. The new Emergency Collection from Lego City !

Author : Oops. Wrong script. Let me fix that.

Author : By the way, do you hate it when a rescue helicopter falls into the river in Lego City, so you have to build a man to save it ? Yeah, me too.

Take 3

Satan : HEY !!!

Charles : Sorry about that. But why would I do that ?

Dunkerque : What is going on ?

Charles : My admiral wants me to unite Azur Lane and Crimson Axis just like we did with Iris Libre and Vichiya Dominion.

The girls : QQQUUUUOOOOOIIIIIII ?!?!

La Galisonnière : After what the Royal Navy and Ironblood did to us ? The hell is wrong with him ?

Jean Bart : I hope he has a good reason to say that.

Charles : Why, Admiral ?

Louis de Gaulle : It is simple. Because they are divided, the Sirens can destroy them more easily than if they were still together. Also, it is not a good idea to continue holding grudges. Even if the actions he did to them were questionable at best, holding a grudge for that won't make us any better than them. Instead, we have to move on from that to show everyone we are better than them. Because it is only when everyone will be together that we can move forward to a better future.

Charles : *closes his eyes**mind* As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. After all, we were all united in the UN back in my world. It's only fair we should do the same here as well.

Algérie : Could you tell us what are his reasons ?

Charles : He said that despite he understands the reasons you are angry with those factions, we shall not let our grudges dictate our actions. The only way to beat the Sirens is if we all stand united with each other to protect humanity. And we should let go of our grudges to show that we are better than the Sirens, and move on towards a better future. *smirks* Heh, it reminds me of the UN.

Émile Bertin : The UN ?

Charles : It stands for United Nations. Their goal is to fight the peace. It is an union of numerous countries from all the world that strive together for a better future.

Richelieu : Back to what you said, I think your admiral is right. We strive to become better in any aspect. This is no different. And because we have managed to become united again, we have to show to both sides that they should do the same.

Jean Bart : I was about to disagree until I remembered our situation before you came in this world, mon amour. The grudges will only slow us down. So, we have to forget them in order to become stronger and better.

L'Opiniâtre : So, what shall we do ? Will we go to fight Project Orochi, Charles ?

Charles : Seeing the situation in hand, Azur Lane will most likely prepare themselves to fight Orochi. Crimson Axis might do the same. Even if they use Siren technology, they cannot ignore something like Orochi that could destroy their bases. And I will go as well fight it. After all, we cannot let them destroy humanity, and I also have a score to settle with them. However, will you come as well ? I won't hold a grudge against you if you don't want to come.

Richelieu : Mon chéri, I vowed to you that we will stay together forever. So, if you go somewhere, be sure that I will follow you as well.

Jean Bart : You took the words right of my mouth, ma sœur. But yeah, I will follow you wherever you go, mon amour. You won't get rid of me.

Charles : I knew you two would come. But what about the others ?

Dunkerque : I will come. It will be a good occasion to fight together like before the split.

Saint Louis : You have been chosen by God himself. So, my lance will always be at your side there to get rid of our ennemies.

Jeanne d'Arc : You are God's chosen one. So, I will follow your lead.

Le Malin : I swore to protect the Iris with my blade, and I shall continue to do the same by coming with you.

La Galisonnière : Of course I'll come. After all, we have to kill the Sirens to have the peace we are searching for.

Gascogne : Charles's will is absolute. So, my mission is to destroy all those who stand in his way.

Vauquelin : Hehe ! I will come too, because we won't be able to spend quality time if Sirens are still around. And we can eat more of Dunkerque and Charles's sweets. Isn't it that right, Tartu ?

Tartu : Huh ? Oh yeah, you're right. I will come too.

Le Terrible : This world need peace. And you are the one who has the highest chance to make it true. And if it means we  have to fight, then I will come as well.

Le Triomphant : I agree with my sister. I want to see the peace in this world, and I will fight for it.

Forbin : As a squire of Iris, I will fight for you, Charles. We will show to the world our strength.

Le Mars : I feel the same way as my sister. You can count on me as well.

Algérie : I will come too. I cannot allow those fiends to tarnish the name of the Iris. That is a sacred name and we will show it why.

Surcouf : War is bad. I don't want it. I prefer peace, and it will be obtained by fighting against the Sirens.

Béarn : I may be your elder, but I will show that I aspire for the same things as you, the peace we are longing for.

Le Téméraire : I became a magician to help Iris win. And I will use my skills at your side.

L'Opiniâtre : My magic shall be used for peace. And I will use it against all of those who dare threaten it.

Émile Bertin : We have all decided to follow you, so if you fight, we will as well.

Satan : HELL YEAH !!! I'M IN !!! After all, I did say that I will join you in your next Siren purge. And that Project Orochi is one of their creation, so of course I will participate.

We all looked at him with a "Really ?" stare.

God : I will not join you in this fight, but let me at least gift you something. Just call their name and it will come to you. They are divine swords made to judge the evil. Use them well.

Charles : I don't want to be rude, but you never gave away their names.

God : I don't have to. They are already in your mind. Just call them. Consider this as a gift for being the chosen one.

Charles : *inhales* COME FORTH !!! RAGNELL !!! ALONDITE !!!

As if on cue, a blinding light enveloped me for a few seconds. After I recovered my vision, I find myself with 2 huge swords in my hands, supposedly Ragnell and Alondite.

(A/N : Ragnell is the sword with the yellow blade while Alondite is the grey one. I admit that I am a fan of the Fire Emblem franchise. They looked cool on a Crusader, so I decided to give them to Charles.)

Charles : Alondite for the heavenly, Ragnell for the earthly, as long as those blades are with me, nothing will stop us in the way of peace.

Jeanne d'Arc : Wow, they're huge.

Charles : I shall use those blades to bring peace for humanity. For now, let us prepare, the fight with Project Orochi is approaching. It is time for the world to see the real strength of the Iris République. No more we will be looked down. POUR L'IRIS !!!

Everyone else : POUR L'IRIS !!!

Charles : Also, Amagi. It looks like you will finally be able to do your comeback.

Amagi : Indeed. Good thing I decided to train.

Azur Lane HQs

3rd P.O.V

Queen Elizabeth and Enterprise, as well as Cleveland, Hood, Warspite, Prince of Wales, Illustrious, Belfast, Sheffield, Edinburgh and Akashi were present in a meeting room. It was an emergency meeting because they have discovered Project Orochi.

Queen Elizabeth : Thank you everyone for coming on such a short notice. We are here to discuss about the discoveries that Sheffield, Edinburgh and Akashi found.

Sheffield : The Sakura Empire is hiding a powerful weapon named Project Orochi. It is actually built by Akagi and Kaga.

The other girls except Akashi and Edinburgh gasped at that.

Prince of Wales : How can they do that ?!

Edinburgh : I don't know but maybe it has something to do with this Black Wisdom Cube they had. Too bad they managed to get it back.

Belfast : This is clearly disturbing.

Warspite : But why did you bring that girl with you ?

Akashi : They wanted to kill me, nya ! For having discovering the truth, nya !

Sheffield : I can confirm. If we didn't intervene, Observer Alpha would have killed her.

Cleveland : What ?! Observer Alpha is there ?!

Edinburgh : Yes ! We saw her working with Akagi and Kaga. They might use that Project Orochi against us.

Hood : No wonder Charles has threatened the Sakura Empire.

Enterprise : Hold on. He threatened them ?

Prince of Wales : Yeah. During our confrontation against Iris Libre, he mentioned that as well as defeating Bismarck's fleet by himself that was threatening to destroy Vichiya Dominion. Maybe he threatened them because he knew about Orochi.

Warspite : And if he knew about it, then Iris Livre and Vichiya Dominion might know about this too.

Queen Elizabeth : By the way, where are they ? I mean, we don't have any intel about their whereabouts.

Enterprise : I actually asked Hornet to go find some answers at their base. I'm waiting for their return.

As if on cue, the doors opened revealing a few Eagle Union girls : Hornet, accompanied by Helena, Massachusetts, Baltimore, Bremerton and Hamman.

Hornet : Yo, everyone.

Enterprise : You are just in time. They were wondering about Charles, Iris Libre and Vichiya Dominion girls' whereabouts.

Hornet : My apologies for disappointing you, but I found no one there.

Warspite : What ? Are you sure about that ?

Helena : Yes. I searched them with my radar in their territory but nothing was spot.

Baltimore : We even have split up to cover more space...

Bremerton : But despite that, we found no one.

Massachusetts : Too bad we didn't find them. I could had have a rematch against Jean Bart.

Hamman : Hamman wants to know why we are searching for them. Also, why is that shipboy is so important, he might be just a pervert !

Prince of Wales : That "pervert", as you call him, would be the only one able to destroy Orochi if we fail the task. He managed to defeat Purifier and a Siren fleet, as well as Bismarck and her fleet by himself. So, Project Orochi will certainly be no problem for him. Also, he's not a pervert since he never looked at our "assets" once.

Queen Elizabeth : *depressing loli noises*

Warspite : ...

The other girls were blushing at what Wales said. But they got back to reality by Hornet screaming.

Hornet : What ?! He has defeated Bismarck ?!

Hood : He did mention it to us in our confrontation with Iris Libre. But we have no clue where they are now.

Warspite : I remember something. That both Iris Libre and Vichiya Dominion were fighting against us. What if they went somewhere else to recreate their former faction, Iris Orthodoxy ?

Queen Elizabeth : Now that you have mentioned it, I remember that they said something about that. But we don't have enough time searching now, especially with the threat of Project Orochi in front of us.

Belfast : I'm afraid that we have no choice but to hope he will come help us.

Enterprise : Didn't he said he wanted to do a mass genocide against the Sirens ?

Illustrious : He did mentioned it during our interview back then. If he still does want it, he will surely hear about Orochi and come to destroy it, as well as the eventual Sirens protecting it.

Queen Elizabeth : You're right. For now, we need to prepare ourselves to face Orochi, since it might awaken soon.

Everyone : Right.

Although they were readying themselves to face the threat of Orochi, they all hoped that Charles will show up to destroy the Sirens.

Harbor of Iris République HQs

Charles P.O.V

I was waiting for everyone to finish their preparations for the fight with Orochi. I remembered the mission my Admiral told me about. I thought about it and while I will not forgive them right away, I will at least give them a second chance to redeem themselves. Except Eagle Union because they did nothing wrong. I saw that the girls, including Amagi, were coming, Satan as well.

Charles : Ready to go everyone ?

Everyone : OUI !!!

God : I'll watch over the base, my child. But I will watch your fight with my globe.

Satan : You mean the stalker orb ?

God : -_- Nevermind, just do your best everyone !

(Timeskip given to you by Chibi Richelieu bullying Chibi Satan)

We just left the harbor to hurry up to the Pacific Ocean where the fight will most likely take place. As we were leaving the Mozambicain Strait, my radar starts beeping.

Charles : Girls, we got company.

Béarn : Is it Sirens ?

Charles : Nope. I only have one dot. And it's green.

My radar identified the dot and it revealed to be... a triangle with an eye ?

Author : Oh great. Even the Illuminatis are coming. Looks like it's time for a crusade. DEUS VULT !!!

Take 4

My radar identified the dot and it revealed to be... Littorio ?!

Charles : Quoi ? Why is Littorio here ?

I decided to take a megaphone to call her.

Charles : Watch out for your ears, everyone .*megaphone* LITTORIO, OVER HERE !!!

She was startled by the voice and looked around until she spotted me. She got close enough to the point the megaphone isn't necessary anymore.

Littorio : Finally. I found you. Where were you at ? I searched everywhere in the Mediterranean Sea for you but I couldn't find anyone there.

Charles : Oh, that's because we weren't there. We were in the new HQs of Iris République, in the Mozambicain Strait.

Littorio : Hold on. Iris République ? Does this mean-

Richelieu : Indeed. We have united once again for good under the name of Iris République. Also, I wasn't expecting you to be here. Why are you here ?

Littorio : After the report I made to Vittorio Venito concerning Charles as well as Crimson Axis situation, she decided to sent me where Charles was to continue informing her about what is going on. She was quite curious about you Charles, you know. She would like to meet you whenever it is possible.

Charles : Well, it won't be now because we are busy right now. By the way, is Vittorio Venito the leader of the Sardegnia Empire ?

Littorio : I see that you're going somewhere. And yes, she is.

Amagi : Indeed, we're going to put an end to Project Orochi.

Littorio : Looks like I need to join you then.

Charles : En effet. Welcome to the group. Now, we cannot lose more time. We need to go.

Littorio : Grázie mílle. I will help you this time. You will see my power as the best battleship in the world.

Richelieu/Jean Bart/Gascogne : *laughs internally in upgrades made by Charles*

We go back on our road to the Pacific Ocean, with Littorio joining us. And this time, we will see the Sardegnia Empire strength.

(A/N) : And that's it for chapter 13. I hope you have enjoyed it. Feel free to leave your feedback and opinion in the comments.

For the vote in the previous chapter, looks like the answer "Yes" won. So Clémenceau will show up in this book in a few chapters, his bio will be done at that moment. Be prepared for another vote soon for the members of Clémenceau's harem. I'm still debating between giving him 5 or 10 girls. I'll see that later.

Also, thank you for the 6K reads. It's wonderful to see you reading this book. I also enjoy, even laugh in some cases, reading your comments, because sometimes, this is where the real joke can be found. Stay awesome guys.

And that is all for this chapter. I hope you have enjoyed it and see you in the next one.

TheBreizhOne out !
