Chapter 31 : Between Simulations

Altar of the Basilica, afternoon :

3rd P.O.V

Just like it was said, the 4th edition of Charles's wedding has started a few days after Charles accepted their proposal.

Here he is now, once again on the altar. God and Satan with the same roles. Ark Royal being restrained by Enterprise and Ash. The rest of Charles's wives were next to the altar.

The doors leading to the altar finally opened, revealing the rest of the Iris girls in wedding dresses.


(A/N : Sorry, but this is all I could find for wedding dresses for the other French Shipgirls.

And before you say it, no I won't use a FGO Jeanne d'Arc fanart for AL Jeanne d'Arc.

If I ever find a wedding dress fanart of those girls, I will add it in the chapter. Also, none of those images belong to me. So, credit to their original artist.)

The wedding went smoothly and the evening following was quite festive and lasted until the middle of the night.

(Timeskip given to you by everyone waiting for Shtorm to propose to Sovetskaya Rossiya)

Basilica, the day after Charles's fourth wedding :

Charles P.O.V

After me and my wives woke up, we went to the cafeteria to take our breakfast after Nevada and Oklahoma congratulating us once again for the fourth wedding.

The Sirens joined us on our table to eat their breakfast. Suddenly, I felt like I was about to sneeze, making me do a weird face. I could also feel someone talking about me. I could sense they were looking at me. And then, I sneezed.

Charles : *sneezes violently*

Omitter : Damn boy ! What a sneeze !

(A/N : And this should be where a certain California lover will say : "Omitter best Siren girl".)

Jeanne d'Arc/Saint Louis : Bless you !

Richelieu : Are you okay, mon chéri ?

Charles : Yeah. I felt like someone was talking about me.

Gascogne : Error. You cannot sneeze whenever someone talks about you. We are talking about you right now and you aren't sneezing.

L'Opiniâtre : Well, Le Téméraire and I can use magic, so sneezing when someone talks about you somewhere else isn't too far fetch.

As I looked on my Siren electronics, I noticed a bip which showed a number with the word "Simulation" before it. It read "Simulation #4649". I was wondering why it showed me this. Observer Zero seemed to have noticed it as well.

Charles : Why does my electronics is showing me a Simulation ?

Observer Zero : It's just a theory but it could have a link with the "sneezing whenever someone talks about you" thingy.

Editor : Maybe you could try to investigate that Simulation to see who talked about you.

Charles : I suppose I could try this. But after the breakfast.

Everyone nodded before we got back to our breakfast.

(Timeskip given to you by Arbiter hugging happily Executioner I : The Judge)

Harbor of the Basilica, later in the morning :

3rd P.O.V

Charles could be seen on his ship, ready to turn into his Siren form as he decided to go in the Simulation showed by his electronics.

As Charles finished to transform into Executioner I : The Judge and for his rigging to turn into its Siren form, he looked to see Richelieu and Jean Bart here, most likely to come with me. But I also saw Ember, Arbiter, Purifier and Tester Beta.

Executioner : I suppose you all want to come with me.

Richelieu : Oui.

Jean Bart : You should already know that we will always stay at your side, no matter what.

Executioner : I can understand for you two, but what about the rest ?

Arbiter : Well, I need to get back to my prime, so I can be ready for whatever the Creator will throw at us.

Tester Beta : I need data about my retrofit and I can finally get to the practical part of the test instead.

Purifier : I want to shoot more Sirens with my AK-12.

Ember : Well, I needed some action, and here I am.

Executioner : Very well. Let me open the portal.

Alduin changed the shells to portal.

Executioner : Alduin, open a portal to the Simulation #4649.

Alduin roared before charging the portal and launch it to open it.

Executioner: Let us depart.

They nodded before the small group entered the portal.

However, when they exited the portal, they weren't expecting to be in a very chaotic place. They saw several humans doing... umm, I don't know how I am supposed to describe that.

??? : Jean Bart is mine !

??? : *brands holy dildo* PURGE THE HERETICS !!!

??? : *sips iced tea while reading holy newspaper* Bug bruuuh

??? : Can I have more headpats please ?

??? : GET AWAY ELIZABETH !!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!! *being chased by a woman named Elizabeth with a chainsaw*

??? : My cute little slave, I am horny.

??? : Oh no ! Not again !

The group was not understanding what was going on, until he looked at the Simulation name which was wrong, as it was Simulation #86710, codenamed "Downneck's server".

(A/N : Oh Crap. Wrong script. Although it's been a long time since it happened. Oh well, let's get back to the story.)

Take 2

As the small group left the portal, they could see there was in the middle of the ocean.

Ember : Where are we ?

Executioner : According to my radars, we are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean of the Simulation #4649.

Jean Bart : Wait ! Is that smoke over there ?

They looked to see where Jean Bart was pointing, and there was indeed some smoke.

Arbiter : Looks like there is a fight over there.

Executioner : Let's go there to see what's going on. Also, Purifier, you might need to change a bit your look.

Purifier : Why ?

Executioner : Because in that Simulation, the Sirens are acting from their own will, meaning that want to destroy this world. And if we find the Purifier of that world, we might shoot you by accident if you are both fighting each other.

Purifier : Oh. Makes sense.

Purifier changed her look a bit. The only change she did was that the yellow parts on Purifier became blue, including her eyes.

Purifier : Done, but what about Tester ?

Executioner : Since her retrofit already changed her looks, we won't have difficulty to recognize our Tester.

Tester Beta : Yeah, the Tester Beta of this Simulation will most likely look the same as my pre-retrofit form.

After we got done, we went towards wherever the smoke is coming from after I went back to my human form.

Meanwhile in the battlefield not far from Charles's group, in Simulation #4649, codenamed"EvanSiegfried " :

(A/N: Since Charles can now travel between simulations, I decided to test what would happen if Charles went to other Simulations.

If this works well, I might do this in other Simulations, which could include the one with a certain Russian Aircraft Carrier and his comrades.

The reason I chose EvanSiegfried  was because he did something similar by mentioning Charles as well as the Creator in his book. So, I decided to do the same in a similar way.

Also, that part will be linked to the plot. I hope you don't mind the crossover. And of course, none of those characters belong to me other than Charles, Clémenceau and Foch.)

3rd P.O.V

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean can be seen a fight between two sides. On one side, there is Azur Lane, and on the other one, the Sirens..

On the Azur Lane side, we could see a human commander leading Azur Lane. This man was the Fleet Admiral Evan Siegfried. He was fighting with his fleet against the Sirens. His vanguard fleet consist of Forbin, Vauquelin and Icarus. His main fleet contain Enterprise, Illustrious, Gascogne and Valiant.

On the Siren side was also a man, but this man wasn't very appreciated by Azur Lane. It was Royston, a former Azur Lane Commander. He was kicked from the organization for being an abusive man. He ended up joining the Sirens and became an Admiral of the Sirens. He was not alone as the Observer Alpha, Tester Beta and Purifier of this world were also here alongside the mass-Produced Siren Ships and Humanoid Sirens.

Evan P.O.V

I was in a middle of the fight against Royston and his Siren army. Although we have no problem destroying their mass-produced ships, the fact that the reinforcements doesn't seem to stop coming in isn't really great.

Evan : Enterprise, Illustrious , are your planes ready ?

Enterprise/Illustrious : Yes, Commander/Evan-Sama.

Evan : Valiant, Gascogne, prepare a salvo.

Valiant : Got it.

Gascogne : Order acknowledged.

Meanwhile, I saw Forbin, Vauquelin and Icarus sinking the mass-production ships with their torpedoes.

Vauquelin P.O.V

We were destroying the mass-production ships. But each time we destroy some, more are appearing, which started annoying me.

Vauquelin : Oh, come on ! Can't they stop spawning Siren ships for at least five minutes ?!

Forbin : There is not much we can do. Let's stop complaining. We need to protect Azur Lane and Sir Evan.

Icarus : I will not let them win.

We continued to destroy the mass-produced Ships. We suddenly heard some cannon shots. We looked back to see that Gascogne and Valiant launched their salvoes. Enterprise's and Illustrious's planes were also flying while dropping bombs on on the other Siren ships, sinking them.

Meanwhile with Royston :

Royston's P.O.V

I observed that damn Evan and his Shipgirls destroying our Siren fleet. But it doesn't matter because we have a lot more reinforcements, including some Orochis. In any case, they have lost.

Tester Beta (E) : Looks like they became stronger.

(A/N : If you see a E between brackets in front of a character, this means this character is from this Simulation, and is used to avoid confusion with the Tester Beta and Purifier hailing from Charles's Simulation, who will not have it.)

Purifier (E) : Finally, they can entertain me !

Royston : Stop this, Purifier. We need to destroy them now or they will take the advantage, just like when they managed to retrieve Shinano.

Observer Alpha : Shall we use the Orochis ?

Royston : Yeah, let's see the despair on their face before we kill them once and for all.

Evan P.O.V

We finally managed to destroy the fleet, but everyone was exhausted from this fight.

Evan : Good job, everyone.

However, Royston was laughing out loud before talking to me again.

Royston : You thought this was the end ?! It was only the beginning ! Now, face the despair !

As he finished his sentence, four portals appeared. But what got out of it was very bad. It was four Orochis. It was already hard to destroy one, but four of them is way too much to handle.

Enterprise : What shall we do, Evan ?

Evan : I cannot let them go any farther. But I need to call some reinforcements.

Valiant : So we need to give them time ?

Evan : Pretty much.

As I was about to call reinforcements, some cannon shots were heard. The next thing we know, it hit one of the Orochi, badly damaging it. We looked to see who shot salvoes on that Orochi, only to find two Shipgirls : Richelieu and Jean Bart.

Valiant : That was fast. I didn't know you were that quick to call reinforcements.

Evan : Actually, I was about to call them. They must have been near us and saw the commotion. I'm sure they are here by sheer luck.

Illustrious : In any case, I am glad the holy light lead them here.

Gascogne : Error. Holy light existence is false and cannot be proven.

Royston : Grrr ! You think just two mere battleships will change the tide of the battle ?!

Richelieu P.O.V

We got to where the battle is taking place. For now, they can only see Jean Bart and I. Charles, who decided to get back in his human form for now, and the rest of the group are invisible right now but just behind us.

We made our presence known by launching a salvo on one of their Orochis. It was pleasant to see all the damage it took.

Royston : Grrr ! You think that two mere battleships will change the tide of the battle ?!

We both felt insulted by that as our firepower could rivalise those of Bismarck and Tirpitz. And with our retrofit, enough to surpass Friedrich der Grosse's firepower.

Jean Bart : Tch ! Your overconfidence will be your downfall !

We both decided to launch another salvo on the Orochi.

Evan P.O.V

I saw that both Richelieu and Jean Bart were preparing another salvo. But when they launched it, I saw something that gave me some doubt.

Looking at Jean Bart when she launched her salvo, I got surprised that both her guns are working. If I remember correctly from the "Iris of Light and Dark" operation, only one of her main gun is working because of the fact her construction wasn't finished.

Which might mean this Jean Bart isn't my Jean Bart but another one. And if this is true, this means this Richelieu isn't my Richelieu either. But my pensive attitude didn't got unnoticed.

Enterprise : Commander, what's wrong ?

Evan : It's about Jean Bart and Richelieu.

Illustrious : What about them ?

Evan : They might not be our Richelieu and Jean Bart.

Valiant : How can you be so sure ?

Evan : When I saw Jean Bart launching her salvo, she used both main guns, which should be impossible since her second main gun never got finished.

Vauquelin : I noticed it too !

Forbin : Sir Evan, are you implying that this Richelieu and this Jean Bart are coming from somewhere else ?

Evan : That's my only theory. And I don't even know how to prove it.

Gascogne : Your logic doesn't make any sense. Such theory is thus considered impossible.

Tester Beta (E) P.O.V

I was analyzing the data coming from those two battleships. However, the data doesn't correspond to them. How is this possible ? Did my data hasn't been updated ?

No, it'a always updated. This mean that we might have another problem. If the proof my data is showing is true, this mean those two aren't from our world.

Tester Beta (E) : Admiral Royston, we have a problem.

Royston : What is it ?

Tester Beta (E) : The data about Richelieu and Jean Bart that I have doesn't correspond to those two. The lectures says that their power is greater than their equivalent of this simulation.

Royston : What ?! That's impossible ! The Iris nation doesn't have the technology to travel between worlds !

Observer Alpha : I might disagree. My scan that I just finished is proving otherwise.

Royston : What do you mean ?

Observer Alpha : Although we see only two people, my radar actually detected  7 people, including those two battleships.

Royston : *mutters* Dammit... *out loud* Whoever you are, show yourselves if you aren't cowards !!!

??? : It was time you discover the truth !

3rd P.O.V

The fight abruptly stopped in both sides as a man voice was heard.

Royston : Who are you ?! And where are you hiding ?!

Valiant : Hold on ! There are other people other than us here ?!

Evan : That seems to be a male voice as well.

3rd P.O.V

Suddenly, a bright light appeared next to Richelieu and Jean Bart. After the light disappeared, a figure was there. But everyone got surprised to see a man with riggings.

Royston : What ?! A shipboy ?! Impossible !

Icarus : How can he exist ?!

Evan : *thoughts* Here I thought I was unique with my Nimitz Aircraft Carrier.

The shock faded away as Observer Alpha asked the question everyone have.

Observer Alpha : Who are you ?!

??? : *smirks* The one changing the fate of the Simulation #19422020.

The Sirens widen their eyes because of the mysterious shipboy having knowledge about the "Simulations". Tester Beta (E) searched in the data to see who he is, only to end up frighten.

Tester Beta (E) : No way... you are... the MNF Charles de Gaulle...?

Charles : So you know, but it doesn't matter.

Royston : Why are you here ?!

Charles : I am here to search some data until you got in our way.

Evan : *mutters* It's really Charles. I'm finally meeting him.

Royston : You think you can defeat this army ?!

Tester Beta (E) : He actually can. He destroyed 5 Orochis and killed 3 Advisor-class Sirens by himself, and he was still holding back.

Observer Alpha : Where are your other friends ? We know they are here as well.

Charles : In that case... you can show up girls !

Another blinding light appeared before disappearing soon. As if they weren't surprised enough with Charles, they will be more by the 4 other girls that appeared.

The 4 girls revealed to be Code T, Purifier, Tester Beta and Arbiter.

Valiant : WHAT IS GOING ON ?!

Observer Alpha : Why is Arbiter with them ?!

Purifier (E)/Tester Beta (E) : And why is there another version of us here ?!

Purifier : Ewww... Too much simps here.

Arbiter : This will be certainly a first to fight against my own kin, but knowing the situation of this Simulation, I won't hold back. And before you ask, the seven of us are from the same Simulation but not the one we are in right now.

Charles : Might as well test my other form.

Tester Beta (E) : Your... WHAT ?!

Charles turned into his Siren form, shocking even more everyone. His Siren rigging was doing another loud roar.

Royston : YOU'RE A SIREN ?!

Executioner : The only reason I am a Siren was to survive a lethal blow from the Creator. And now, you shall face my power.

I am Executioner I : The Judge, the newest member of the Leader-class Siren.

That was his last words before he created a Mirror Sea. After he has finished creating the Mirror Sea, he took Sökkvabekkr before starting the fight.

Executioner : Let's FIGHT THE SIRENS !!!

Executioner's group : RIGHT !!!

Purifier P.O.V

I was literally shredding Siren ships right and left. Never knew killing our kin could be fun. But I got interrupted by a cannon shot. I evaded it without problem to see that it was my other self who fired on me.

Purifier (E) : Another self ?! This should be fun ! I will scrap you !

Purifier : Oh no ! *loads AK-12 with murderous intent* Anyways !

Purifier (E) : Wait, what ?

Purifier : Haha ! AK-12 goes BRATATA !!!

Purifier was literally killing her other self with her AK-12.

Purifier : Wow ! That's disappointing ! 0/10, dies too quickly !

Tester Beta P.O.V

I was fighting alongside Code T against another Siren Fleet. But a cannon shot separated us. I looked to see my other self was responsible for this.

Tester Beta (E) : Fighting another self ? I wonder what kind of data I can get from this and to see who is the strongest.

Tester Beta : That would be assuming if you managed to get out alive of this fight, because my power is greater than yours thanks to my retrofit.

Tester Beta (E) : Wait, you got retrofitted ?

Tester Beta : I am now an Aviation Battleship. Now, stay still while I collect data from your death.

I launched 20 of those planes Charles called the A-10 Warthogs but with Siren designs. I finally understood the nickname as I heard the sound it made upon firing on my other self that was agonizing.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT !!!

I looked to see she was dead. My test of my new planes is complete.

Ember P.O.V

I was fighting with Tester Beta until we got separated by the other Tester Beta. I went my way until I got blocked by Observer Alpha.

Observer Alpha : I never thought I would see you fighting against us, Code T.

Ember : I am not Code T anymore, I am Ember.

Observer Alpha : Changing your name won't change anything.

I started shooting at her with my guns. She protected herself of course.

Observer Alpha : So, you really are determined to end me. Then, I will not hold back either.

We traded guns shots. I managed to evoud them all but Observer Alpha continued to use her shields against my attacks. What she doesn't know is that I was distracting her while Richelieu and Jean Bart prepared secretly a salvo to launch against her.

Some minutes later, we both stopped firing our guns.

Observer Alpha : I admit you became stronger, but this won't be enough against me. Fufufu~

Ember : At least, I managed to get you where I wanted.

Observer Alpha : Huh ?

She couldn't start understanding what is happening that she got hit by the salvoes of the Richelieu sisters, which severely damaged her.

I took the opportunity to end up this fight by dashing to her and behead her with my katana, which I did. My world cannot be saved, but at least, I got revenge on one of the Sirens responsible for this. 

I looked at Richelieu and Jean Bart to thank them for their help, which they returned.

Executioner P.O.V

Arbiter and I were completely destroying the Siren Fleet while trying to get to Royston location, whether it is with Sökkvabekkr or Alduin. Nothing could survive against us, but that must because we are both Leader-class Siren.

We finally managed to get to Royston, who was panicking because of us. He saw how our small group completely overpowered his fleet.

Royston : Are you gonna kill me ?

Executioner : While I could do that, I am the not the one who will kill you, but rather that Evan Siegfried.

Royston was sighing, knowing he would leave unscathed. Or is he ?

Arbiter : But that doesn't mean you will leave the battlefield unscathed.

Royston : Then face this !

Royston made another Siren Fleet appear. Not like it will change anything.

Executioner : I will take care real quick of that fleet.

Arbiter nodded.

Executioner : Alduin ! Change your bullets to black holes  and fire it on that Siren Fleet !

Alduin roared before launching a black hole on the Siren Fleet, sucking every last  one of them, before imploding, destroying them all. Royston had his mouth wide open.

Executioner : All done. Arbiter, if you may.

Arbiter : With pleasure.

I saw Arbiter launching a tornado on Royston, which sucked him inside. The tornado lasted thirty seconds before disappearing, leaving him heavily injured.

Arbiter : Goodbye now.

That was the last words Royston will hear as she created a portal below him that will teleport him God-knows-where. After the portal disappeared, we looked to see that all the Siren ships were destroyed. So, I decided to make the Mirror Sea disappears.

(Small Timeskip given to you by Charles being in an Idol Outfit)

Evan P.O.V

The Mirror Sea created by Executioner, A.K.A Charles disappeared. We were shocked by their power and the fact humans and Sirens could work together. I was glad that they fought Royston as I don't think we could survive.

I looked to see the group were approaching us, while Charles took back his human form.

Charles : So you are Evan Siegfried, commander of Azur Lane of this Simulation.

Evan : So, you really are the MNF Charles de Gaulle.

Charles : Does this mean... you were the one who made me sneeze these past few days ?!

Everyone deadpanned at that.

Evan : By the way, what happened to Royston ?

Arbiter : He is still alive, although heavily injured and teleported somewhere else. After all, the destiny of this world must be accomplished by you, Evan Siegfried.

Evan : Good. We already had a lot to deal with him, and the sudden appearance of the Creator-

Charles : Hold up ! Did you just said... The Creator appeared in THIS Simulation ?!

Enterprise : Yeah. We fought him but we didn't managed to kill him.

Illustrious : He left soon afterwards because of reinforcements coming and because he said he was too lazy.

Charles : The Creator is actually a lazy guy ? Damn, I never felt so disappointed in myself than now for learning that...

Forbin : And he also said that he was angry because you survived.

Ember : This is bad if he already know about this. We might need to hurry up finding the other Leader-class Sirens.

Enterprise : How did you became a Siren, Charles ?

Charles : The only reason I became a Siren was to survive. I took a lethal blow from the Creator, but I got saved by having Siren blood injected in me.

Tester Beta : Arbiter's blood to be more accurate, which explains his status as Leader-class Siren.

Gascogne : Data about Charles acquired and placed in folder "Charles".

Charles : Well, it's time to go back home.

Evan : You're already leaving ?

Jean Bart : We need to. Who knows what the Creator could be doing ?

Meanwhile with the Creator :

Creator : Soon, this world will be destroyed. And no one will oppose me. Isn't that right, Mr. Duckie ?

The Creator was in his bath talking with his rubber chicken. If he was alive, he would try to leave and escape this madman.

Back to Charles and his group :

Illustrious : Will we see you again ?

Richelieu : Who knows ? Only time will tell.

Charles : Until then, this is farewell.

Charles went back to his Siren form, to create the portal that will bring him and his group back to their Simulation. They looked at Evan and his fleet one last time and wave at them before entering the portal.

Unknown location :

3rd P.O.V

Three girls were regrouped in a secret place to talk about Arbiter. Those three girls were all Sirens but they looked completely different from the others.

???1 : So, Arbiter finally joined Azur Lane it seems ?

???2 : Yeah, because the savior of our kin is there as well.

???3 : I heard that he became a Leader-class Siren after he was lethally injured by the Creator.

???1: So, what shall we do about that ?

???2 : We might need to meet him to see if he has what it takes to kill the Creator.

???3 : Have you seen how Arbiter blushes sometimes when she look at him ?

???1 : I never expected her to fall in love with him. But this could be interesting.

???3 : Yeah, we should definitely go meet him. If anything, Arbiter's intuition was always right, so this man would be the one to put an end to the Creator.

???1 : I agree.

???2 : Let's prepare ourselves to meet him.

???3 : Alright, let's meet the four of us later to go meet Executioner I : The Judge, the newest member of our class.

???1/???2 : Right.

(A/N) : And that's it for chapter 31. I hope you have enjoyed it. Feel free to leave your feedback and opinion in the comments.

I have nothing to say on the book right now other than what was already mentioned earlier in this chapter concerning Charles going to other worlds.

So here's a question : What do you think of Polaris Season 2 ? Who will you try to get ? Unless you will completely skip as it is not interesting for you ?

Also, I wanted to thank you for the 30K reads. So I will do a small Q&A here. You can ask up to 3 questions per person. But I may not answer some questions that feel too personal, so keep that in mind.

That's it for this chapter. Thanks for reading it. And see you in the next one.

TheBreizhOne out !
