Somewhere in Simulation #0, codenamed "Dreamworld :

3rd P.O.V

The Dreamworld, known as the Simulation #0, is a particular Simulation because of the notions such as space and time not existing at all.

Everything seems petrified between the non-moving waters and the floating islands, giving an eerie feeling and absolute silence.

But that was until a portal opened, with a figure coming out of it. The figure was none other than Executioner I : The Judge. He already went to that place before, but only in spirit as it was during that time he was in comatose after facing for the first time the Creator.

But this time, he came there with both body and soul. He looked around before asking his rigging to roar, which he did, breaking the everlasting silence whose reign was supreme.

At first, it did nothing, but a few minutes later, a few humanoid Sirens showed up, more precisely the Dreamworld Sirens that he met when he encountered Shinano and Editor.

The Sirens immediately recognized him and they approached him until they were close enough, and that was when they bow down to him.

Dreamworld Siren 82 : You came, Leader.

The Dreamworld Sirens were the only mass-produced Sirens that weren't under the control of the Creator. After they heard about Executioner, the one that would free the Sirens, and meeting him, the Dreamworld Sirens decided to swear allegiance to Executioner to help him in his task.

And they are already aware that he was at first the MNF Charles de Gaulle, so they follow him, even if he is in his human form.

Dreamworld Siren 924 : Do you need something, Leader ?

Executioner : I do. Bring everyone here for an important meeting.

Dreamworld Siren 315 : Why is that ?

Executioner : Let's say you're finally going to see some action.

The Dreamworld Sirens widen their eyes before nodding.

Dreamworld Siren 526 : That's good to hear. We will bring everyone else here.

The humanoid Sirens went in different directions to bring the rest of the Dreamworld Sirens back to Executioner's location.

(Timeskip given to you by our local California lover asking for Omitter's hand in marriage)

Still 3rd P.O.V

It has been a few minutes since the Dreamworld Sirens went away to bring everyone else. But they were quick as they all got to where Executioner was. They looked at him, waiting for him to say something.

Executioner : Before we start, I'm waiting for a few people to show up here. They are important as they have a role to play in the mission I'm gonna give you.

He looked at all the humanoid Sirens present here, while waiting for the people he needs to show up.

(A/N : The Dreamworld Sirens, the ones that swore allegiance to Charles/Executioner, are on the lowest row of this picture to give you an idea of how they look.

As for the Dreamworld Intruder, just imagine her with the same designs as the other Dreamworld Sirens.)

But finally, after a few minutes, four portals opened just behind Executioner, with a figure coming out from each one of them.

Those four figures are identified as Sirens. Those Sirens that showed up were Tester Beta, Omitter, Enforcer VIII : Determination and Arbiter VIII : The Strength.

Executioner : Now that everyone is here, we can start.

Omitter : Holy fuck ! The hell is wrong with this place ?!

Tester Beta : Please, this a serious matter right now, Omitter.

Omitter : Oopsies ! I'm listening !

Enforcer VIII : *muttering* Yare yare daze...

Executioner : You remember about the fact you're going to see some fight soon, right ?

Dreamworld Siren 732 : Yes. Is it going to be now ?

Executioner : Exactly.

Dreamworld Siren 2619 : YEAH !!! But what about them ? Why are they here ?

Executioner : The reason for why is that we will make four groups to attack the other Sirens. The Sirens behind me will lead one group each, except Arbiter VIII and Enforcer VIII that will both lead the same group. I will be leading one of the four groups myself.

Tester Beta: So, we are here to lead them to fight against the Creator's army ?

Executioner : Pretty much.

Omitter : Things are getting interesting.

Arbiter VIII : ...I agree...

Dreamworld Siren 262 : Seems good for us.

Dreamworld Siren 62 : We will follow you, but remember that our allegiance is only for Executioner.

Tester Beta : Dully noted.

Omitter : This is obvious as he looks like one of you.

Strength just nodded.

Enforcer VIII : I can respect that.

Executioner : Then it's time to send a message to Azur Lane.

Tester Beta : Which one ?

Executioner : This one :

"Bring the dream into the reality !"

Meanwhile near the harbor of Taranto, with Amagi's fleet :

3rd P.O.V

Near the harbor of Taranto could be seen a Sakura Empire reinforcement fleet approaching. It was lead by Amagi, one of the finest strategist of Azur Lane. But she wasn't alone as some girls joined her to help the Sardegnia Empire to take back the Mediterranean Sea.

Battleships/Battlecruisers/Aviation Battleships : Amagi, Hyuuga and Ise.

Aircraft Carriers : Shinano, Taihou, Hiyou and Junyou

Heavy Cruisers : Ember (a.k.a Takao META), Mogami, Mikuma, Suzuya and Kumano.

Light Cruisers : Yuubari.

Destroyers : Akatsuki, Nowaki, Kamikaze and Matsukaze.

Amagi P.O.V

We finally managed to get to Taranto after all the careful maneuvering we had to do to avoid the Sirens. Even if we have have Shinano and Ember with us, the fight will be hard. From what I've been told by TB, the Mediterranean Sea are made of 3 sectors : two of them have a corrosion level of 5, while the sector next to Taranto has a corrosion level of 6, the highest corrosion level possible.

Kumano : Bouuuuh ! I'm bored ! Can we fight some Sirens ? I need some action !

Amagi : No, Kumano. We are not enough to face the Sirens right now. Once we join the Sardegnia Empire in Taranto, we might start pushing back the Sirens after making a plan of attack.

Mikuma : I have to agree with Amagi on this one.

Kumano : Cone on ! I've been itching for a fight for a long time !

Mogami : We will, but after we have readied ourselves.

Suzuya : You shouldn't underestimate the Sirens, even if we have Shinano, Amagi, Ember and Freidrich on our side for that mission.

Yuubari : We have to increase our chance of victory if we want to stand a chance.

Ise : As much as I want to fight right now, I agree with Amagi.

Kumano : Not you too, Ise !

Hyuuga : For once you aren't stupid, sister !

Ise : HEY !!!

Amagi : Girls, calm down. We have to dock now.

I looked at them since we need to be focused on our mission. We managed to get to Taranto despite the threats of Sirens. We look to see on the docks that Littorio, Vittorio Veneto and Friedrich der Grosse were waiting for us.

After we all docked in the harbor, we got down to approach Littorio and the others.

Littorio : Buongiorno, and welcome to the harbor of Taranto.

Vittorio Veneto : I hope your travel wasn't too difficult.

Amagi : Thank you for your warm welcome. Surprisingly, we didn't met too much Sirens on our way, despite the high level of corrosion.

Vittorio Veneto : So I heard. Without the proper reinforcements, it would be significantly harder.

Friedrich der Grosse : But I wasn't expecting Shinano herself to come, but it's a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

Shinano : This one would be agree concerning your presence here as well.

Littorio : But thanks to you, we can answer to aerial threats.

Hiyou : That's right ! Just because we are light carriers doesn't mean we can't do as much damage as aircraft carriers.

Junyou : Hai ! My childhood friend can confirm this !

Matsukaze : I never heard about you having a childhood friend.

Kamikaze : *mutters* Having PTSD is sure hard.

Junyou : That's not true ! I have a childhood friend ! It's just you who are crazy ! I know what I am talking about !

Amagi : Ahem !

I fake coughed to bring back their attention.

Amagi : Please, we don't have time for such trivial business. Our priority is to prepare ourselves to take back the Mediterranean Sea.

Vittorio Veneto : In that case, come. We have much to discuss.

Friedrich der Grosse : Indeed. We cannot waste time here.

My group and I followed Vittorio Veneto to the meeting room to discuss further about our plan.

(Timeskip given to you by Shangri-La being cute)

Meeting room of the harbor of Taranto :

3rd P.O.V

Everyone present got in the meeting room to start planning for the counterattack in the Mediterranean Sea.

Vittorio Veneto : Should we start ?

Amagi : Yes. In my opinion, we should avoid splitting in several groups, and instead, we should just form one big group, considering the high corrosion level.

Friedrich der Grosse : Which would mean encountering powerful Sirens will be more likely here ?

Shinano : Yes. That is what we have deduced from this.

Littorio : Some good defenses are needed.

Zara : Good thing Pola and I have some strong hulls.

Pola : Sí. With this, we can resist the enemy attacks.

Giulio Cesare : But we cannot be sitting ducks.

Conte di Cavour : We also need enough power to defeat those Sirens.

Hiyou : That's why we are here to give some aerial support !

Ise : Yeah ! But Hyuuga and I are better thanks to being Aviation Battleships !

Trento : It sure is an advantage.

Akatsuki : But we cannot lower our guard, since we might encounter some Siren submarines.

Matsukaze : Good thing we have readied our ASW.

Carabiniere : I did it too. After all, I need everything I can to defend Lady Vittorio Veneto and Lady Littorio, as their subordinate.

Vincenzo Gioberti : So did I.

Vittorio Veneto : Good job, girls.

Ember : We might have been lucky to not find Sirens in our way, but I'm sure that they might show up when we will leave the harbor.

Amagi : You're right. In any case, they could have settled a trap for us, which might explain why we didn't saw a lot of Sirens on our way from Gibraltar.

Their discussion got interrupted by TB.

TB : Sorry for interrupting you, but I got a message from Charles.

Littorio : Really ? What does he say ?

TB : Here is the content of the message : "Bring the Dream into Reality".

Most of the people in the room got confused at the message sent by Charles.

Ise : Since when he is sending cryptic messages ? What is this supposed to mean ?

Amagi and Shinano were thinking about the meaning of the message.

Akatsuki : Do you think this is some kind of secret message ?

Littorio : That would make sense. For all we know, the Sirens can record our conversations while using the radios.

Amagi : I think that too, but for the meaning, it's hard to tell.

Shinano : This one might have an idea about the meaning.

Friedrich der Grosse : Please, elaborate.

Shinano : That's just a theory, but maybe he's gonna bring something from the Dreamworld here.

Vittorio Veneto : Do you know what it could be ?

Shinano : Sadly no. I would have said Editor, but she came back here with me, and I heard that she stayed in Brest with Observer Zero.

Trento : So, the only way to know is to wait then.

Amagi : Yes.

Our group in Sardegnia just got Charles's cryptic message and tried to deduce what it means, but what about some of the others ? Let's see what they think about it.

Meanwhile with Jean Bart's group :

Jean Bart P.O.V

We just got a message from mon amour, although it was cryptic. Hell, I don't know what it means, or whatever he tried to say. But knowing him, he didn't do that without reason.

Le Malin : Hmm... Is he drunk ?

Dunkerque : "Charles" and "drunk" are two words that will never go together.

Gascogne : Theory found. He sent the message that way to avoid the Sirens knowing of his plans.

Algérie : I second Gascogne's statement. He doesn't take risks.

Yukikaze : If he was with us, we would be invincible between Yukikaze the Great's luck and Charles's intelligence !

Akagi : Maybe Amagi would know the meaning.

Zuikaku : Well, seeing the message, I think Lady Shinano would know more since she is the most knowledgeable when it comes to dreams.

Kaga : True, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Meanwhile with Enterprise's group :

3rd P.O.V

Unlike Amagi's or Jean Bart's group, Enterprise's group has no idea about the meaning of the message.

Deutschland : What is this nonsense ?!

Enterprise : Well, I don't know either.

Hiryuu META : I have no idea either.

Purifier : That's easy.

Deutschland : You're telling me this bat-shit crazy Russian Siren knows the meaning ?!

Hornet : What does it mean then ?

Purifier : To me, it looks like he is going to bring something from that Dreamworld in our simulation.

Washington : I'm surprised that she knows what it means.

Purifier : Well, to be fair. I often have to give cryptic messages to Observer Alpha. And not gonna lie, that sentence looks like it comes from a shitty fanfiction.

Author : Goodbye 4th wall. I enjoyed your presence while I can. Good thing I took an insurance to protect myself from 4th wall-breaks.

Admiral Graf Spee : ...

North Carolina : ...If you say so...

Meanwhile in the harbor of Kiel, with Bismarck's group :

Bismarck P.O.V

I was looking at the message, not sure what it means. I then decided to do something.

Bismarck : U-556 ? Could you bring U-110 here ?

U-556 : Of course,  Lord Bismarck. Right away.

I saw her left quickly my office, eager to help me. It only took a few minutes before she comes back with U-110.

U-110 : Rawwr... I'm a shark... I'm here...

Bismarck : U-110, can you help me decipher the content of this message ?

U-110 : Of course... Rawwr... I'm a scary shark...

I looked at her trying to decipher the message. She quickly managed to find the meaning.

U-110 : Finished... Rawwr...

Bismarck : The message ? What does it means ?

U-110 : It means...

Bismarck : Yes ?

U-110 : A

Bismarck : A ?

U-110 : Yes... it means A.

Author : Goddammit ! Go back to Hololive, Gawr Gura.

Gawr Gura : A

Author : Let's just rectify that !

Take 2

Bismarck : The message ? What does it mean ?

U-110 : ...I don't fully understand it... only that something from the Simulation #0, a.k.a the "Dreamworld", will come in our world.

Bismarck : That's something at least. Thank you for your help, U-110. You're a great member of the Wolfpack.

U-110 : Rawwr... I'm a shark, not a wolf...

U-556 was headpatting U-110.

U-556 : Hehe, you're funny with your voice and your garlic hairstyle.

U-110 : Rawwr... I'm a scary shark, not a garlic nor a wolf...

U-556's smile was really bright. I don't know if it could be as bright as Graf Spee's smile.

If those are the kind of of moments we get after the end of the war and thanks to our union, then, I'm glad to be back to Azur Lane.

Meanwhile with God and Satan :

Satan P.O.V

So, Charles sent a cryptic message that no one understand. They're dumb. It's easy to understand. There is only one thing that can bring the dream in the reality.

God : Do you know what Charles could talk about ?

Satan : Of course I know !

God : Really ? What is it ?

Satan : It's the "JUST DO IT" guy.

God : -_-

Satan : Ah ! I knew you would agree, old man.

God : Fine. You're going to Brazil.

Satan : Wait ! No !

3rd P.O.V

Satan ended up in Brazil five minutes later.

(Timeskip given to you by the Author trying to find more timeskip ideas)

Harbor of Taranto :

3rd P.O.V

An hour has passed since the cryptic message sent by Charles, but it didn't stop Amagi, Littorio and the rest to finish the plan to take back the Mediterranean Sea.

Speaking of which, Amagi was on a balcony alone, looking at the sea. She prepared herself for the hard mission waiting for her team.

Littorio : You were here after all.

Amagi got surprised and looked back only to see Littorio.

Amagi : Please, don't scare me like that.

Littorio : Scusi. You looked like you were pondering about something.

Amagi : Was it that obvious ?

Littorio : Yeah. So, what's on your mind ?

Amagi : Well, I feel like this mission is going to be very hard. I was wondering how would Charles deal with this if he was here.

Littorio : You sure talk a lot about Charles recently. Looks like you're in love with him.

Amagi : *blushes* I'm beginning to think that I am an open book to you.

Littorio : Trust me when I say I know a lot about love. I already knew you took an interest to him since the first time we talk.

Amagi : It's true, but never I thought it would escalate to such levels... and yet, I don't mind it. You sure do have a sharp eye in those matters, Littorio.

Littorio : Of course I am. My knowledge about love have greatly strengthen thanks to my marriage with Charles and the conversations I have with Émile as well.

Amagi : I can agree with that.

Littorio : As much as I want to continue talking about him, we do have a mission we need to start now. That's why I was here for initially. So, you're coming ?

Amagi : Yes, we should. We cannot waste more time.

Both of them left the balcony before joining the others.

(Timeskip given to you by a duel of cuteness between Admiral Graf Spee and U-556)

Out of the Harbor of Taranto :

3rd P.O.V

The group lead by Amagi, Friedrich der Grosse and Vittorio Veneto has just left the harbor of Taranto in order to take back the control of the Mediterranean Sea.

The fleet is the following :

Battleships/Battlecruisers/Aviation Battleships : Amagi, Friedrich der Grosse, Littorio, Vittorio Veneto, Conte di Cavour, Giulio Cesare, Hyuuga and Ise.

(Light) Aircraft Carriers : Shinano, Hiyou, Junyou and Taihou.

Heavy Cruisers : Trento, Zara, Pola, Mogami, Mikuma, Suzuya, Kumano and Ember.

Light Cruisers : Yuubari.

Destroyers : Matsukaze, Kamikaze, Nowaki, Akatsuki, Carabiniere and Vincenzo Gioberti.

All of them were on their guard, more than usual seeing they are in a sector with the highest corrosion level possible, which is of 6.

Not even fifteen minutes after they left the harbor of Taranto, the Sirens are already starting to appear and to attack.

Amagi : I knew they were here, but I didn't expected to show themselves that soon.

Taihou : It doesn't matter. If I destroy them all, Clémenceau will see how worthy I am ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

Littorio : ...I'm gonna call Charles or Albacore.

Taihou immediately calmed down after hearing both Albacore and Charles's name, especially since she is afraid of Charles because he is an anti-yandere and Albacore for obvious reasons.

Taihou : Ok, I'll stop. Please don't call any of them. ;-;

They focused again on the Sirens in front of them. They were quite numerous, and they were causing some problems to the fleet.

Vittorio Veneto : This is troublesome. They are everywhere ! But we can't let them keep our Mediterranean Sea !

Friedrich der Grosse : Hmm... I might have to get serious now... Time for your last symphony !

Amagi's group stopped holding back and decided to destroy the Sirens that were on their way. They managed to do it with their teamwork and could advance more.

Ise : Not bad ! My skills will definitely be honed from all this fighting !

Shinano : But there might be more of them.

Trento : If it continues like this, we might have to fight a Siren fleet every five minutes until we get tired, so they can defeat us at that moment.

Carabiniere : I won't yield to them. I shall fight until my last breath.

Vittorio Veneto : You won't because we will survive ! We have something that they don't : unity. They are nothing more than mindless puppets, but we have the ability to cover each other's weaknesses to make it our strength.

Amagi : Well said. This describes perfectly the values of the true Azur Lane.

Littorio : Charles would definitely agree with that.

Friedrich der Grosse : Yeah. But I think we should continue to press forward.

Zara : I agree. Time is something we don't have much right now.

(Timeskip given to you by Amagi's wholesome smile)

3rd P.O.V

Amagi's fleet has been fighting Siren fleets non-stop for two hours, and it greatly decreased their progress of taking back the Mediterranean Sea.

Kumano : I know that I was itching for a fight, but I have enough ! There are way too much Sirens to my liking !

Suzuya : Well, there's not much we can do about it other than destroying them.

Despite all the fighting and the victories, they are starting to get tired. They don't know how much longer they will last if the Sirens continue to attack relentlessly.

Nowaki : *panting* This is... getting hard...

Carabiniere : *panting* Yeah... but we have to press on...

Vittorio Veneto : It would be wiser to find a small port where we can rest a bit before continuing.

Yuubari : I am not against replenishing my supplies.

Amagi : Alright. Do you know where is the closest harbor ?

Littorio : It would be La Spezia.

Conte di Cavour  : It doesn't bring me good memories...

Giulio Cesare : But this is the past. The future is what that counts now.

Zara : After all, we were all given a chance to get peace.

Pola : A chance like that won't happen again.

Amagi : In that case, let's go to La Spezia.

The fleet decided to change directions and to head to La Spezia, to rest and to replenish their supplies, unaware of what may lurk around.

(Timeskip given to you by Clémenceau sipping tea JoJo style)

Still 3rd P.O.V

Near the harbor of La Spezia :

Amagi's fleet was getting nearer of the harbor of La Spezia. But to their shock and surprise, a Siren fleet was just in front of them, ambushing the fleet.

Taihou : WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS GETTING IN MY WAY ?!?!

Junyou : You dare make me seperate even more longer of my childhood friend ?!

The Siren fleet ambushing them had Purple Sirens, already increasing the difficulty of the fight.

Friedrich der Grosse : I'm afraid we have to force our way to La Spezia.

Amagi : Everyone, prepare for attack !

The rest of the group : RIGHT !!!

Despite their tired state, they were ready to take their stand.

Siren 451 : You have some courage to continue fighting, but your hope is gone !

As the humanoid Siren finished her sentence, several portals opened, making more Siren reinforcements appear, whether they were humanoid or mass-produced ships.

Siren 451 : It's over, prepare to be sunk.

??? : Not on my watch !

A male voice suddenly was heard before two black bullets were shot on the Siren fleet. At their contact, they grew into black holes, sucking every Siren in their surroundings.

Siren 451 : What the hell ?!

The two black holes finally imploded, killing every Siren that were inside it, and drastically reducing the number of Sirens. Some white smoke were appearing from the black holes that were gone, spreading towards the Siren fleet.

Unknown to everyone, that smoke has some specific effects only known by the one launching the black holes.

Siren 451 : Show yourself !!!

??? : Looking for someone ?

Everyone turned around to see the unknown person was Executioner I : The Judge.

Siren 451 : You ! I will kill you !

Executioner I : That's cute. You're welcome to try tho.

The Azur Lane fleet was glad that Charles showed up.

Siren 451 : But it doesn't matter ! I have more reinforcements !

More Siren showed up from the portals, but Executioner I doesn't seem to care at all of this. The humanoid Siren was smirking.

Siren 451 : What are you going to do now ?!

Executioner I : I will bring the Dream in the Reality.

Siren 622 : Pfff ! Just shut up grandpa. Your poetry won't save anyone.

Executioner I didn't said anything, and instead snapped his fingers. As he did that, several red portals opened behind him. From those portals also appeared Sirens, but those Sirens were completely different.

The mass-produced Siren ships were all pitch black with some red lines on them. But some humanoid Sirens with various designs also came out from them. Where the purple color was supposed to be is replaced by a dark red color. Moreover, all the humanoid Sirens were wearing some red futuristic glasses.

Siren 8389 : What the hell ?! He has Sirens as well ?!

Siren 261 : How could you betray your own kin ?!

Dreamworld Siren 938 : We cannot betray you if we never joined you in the first place.

Dreamworld Siren 728 : Besides, we only follow our true leader, Executioner I : The Judge.

Meanwhile, the Azur Lane fleet was shocked to see that Charles brought Sirens with him, especially Sirens that they never saw before. But however, Shinano recognized them.

Shinano : I recognize those Sirens.

Mikuma : You do ?!

Shinano : Yes. Those Sirens are coming from the Dreamworld. But they aren't like any other Sirens as they don't obey the Creator.

Akatsuki : Then, why aren't they attacking Charles ?!

Amagi : You said that those Sirens aren't under the control of the Creator, right ?

Shinano : Yes.

Yuubari : I think I have a theory.

Matsukaze : What is it ?

Yuubari : If I'm correct, then those Dreamworld Sirens are actually obeying Charles.

Everyone else : NANI ?!

Shinano : This is actually possible.

Vittorio Veneto : Well, he is an Executioner-class Siren, so he would have at least his own Siren army as well.

Carabiniere : Seeing their behavior towards Charles is only proving that Yuubari's theory is right.

Amagi : *thinking* Charles, you will never cease to amaze me.

Ember : *thinking* He really has the power necessary to change fate itself. I'm glad to have met him.

Back to Charles :

The ambush Siren fleet was horrified to discover that Executioner I has now his own Siren army. He took this moment that launch an attack.

Executioner I : Girls, it's time to show our power. FIRE AT WILL UPON THOSE SIRENS  !!!

Dreamworld Siren 528 : Well, you heard the Leader. No mercy for those traitors !

The other Dreamworld Sirens : RIGHT !!!

All the Dreamworld Sirens, whether ship or humanoid, launched their shells, torpedoes and planes respectively, Executioner I included with his Siren Panthers.

Siren 3829 : ARGHHH !!!

Siren 6936 : NOOOOOO !!!

Siren 4828 : OOF !!!

The attack heavily crippled the enemy Siren fleet. The white smoke has spread even wider, covering only the sea.

Siren 451 : Grrrrrr ! Time to use my cards up in the sleeve.

The Siren brought a healing item.

Siren 451 : HEAL !!!

...

But nothing happened.

The Siren thought it was not activated, and tried to activate it again.

Siren 451 : HEAL !!!

...

But nothing happened.

Siren 451 : Why doesn't it work ?!

Executioner I : See that smoke all around you ?

Siren 451 : What of it ?!

Executioner I : *smirks* As long as it is here, you won't heal at all.

Skill activation : Fatal Smoke

Each time an enemy is hit by the weaponry of this ship, creates a smokescreen in a medium-sized range around the impact that cancel all healing effects, whether they're from a skill or gear.

Author : If that skill existed in Azur Lane, we would never be bothered anymore by the Pearl Tears Juneau in PvP. If only it existed.

Author : Also, if you use a meta IJN PvP fleet, it doesn't mean you're a pro, it just means you are a person that just wants to watch the world burn and ruining the fun of others.

Siren 451 : Damn you ! You cheater !

Executioner I : I don't remember war having any rules. But I have wasted enough time with you. Let's end this !

Dreamworld Siren 4819 : Let's sink those fakers !

The Dreamworld Siren fleet launched an All-Out attack on the opposite Siren fleet, destroying it completely. No cry of pain could be heard from the Sirens as they got killed quicker than they could scream.

Executioner I : Good job, girls and ships.

Dreamworld Sirens : Thank you, Leader.

The Siren ships just made some horn sounds to thank him.

After the battle finished, the Azur Lane fleet approached Executioner I.

Executioner I : Hello girls. Are you alright ?

Littorio : Without you and the other Dreamworld Sirens, we would have taken much more damage.

Shinano : Charles, are you really controlling those Dreamworld Sirens ?

Executioner I : I'm not controlling them, but rather lead them. They have a free will and a life after all.

The girls smiled at what Executioner I said.

Executioner I : Well, in any case, let's take back the Mediterranean Sea.

He then turned to the Dreamworld Sirens.

Executioner I : Want to continue following us ?

Dreamworld Siren 718 : We need more experience, so fighting with you on our way to Gibraltar will be a good way to become stronger.

Executioner I : Well, before that, we shall let the fleet get repairs at La Spezia, and then we can continue.

Dreamworld Siren 372 : Roger that.

(Timeskip given to you by Charles petting SCP-682)

Several hours later, near the harbor of Gibraltar :

Still 3rd P.O.V

The Harbor of Gibraltar was where Nagato and the rest of the Sakura Empire was living temporarily.

Some Sirens tried to attack Gibraltar in hope of taking it back, only to fail miserably by ending sunk by the defenses.

Nagato and Mutsu were resting peacefully while drinking some tea. That was until the door brutally opened, revealing Mikasa and Kawakaze.

Mutsu : What's going on ?! Are we attacked by Sirens ?!

Kawakaze : Actually, the Sardegnia Empire, Friedrich der Grosse and the reinforcements we sent to them are coming here, but...

Nagato : But what ?

Mikasa : I think you have to see it by yourself because we don't know how to explain what you are going to see.

Nagato : I'm curious now. Let us see.

The four girls went towards the harbor. As they got there, they could indeed see the Sardegnia Empire and the others, but what surprised them was the Sirens accompanying them, and for a few reasons.

First, the Sirens are different from any of the other Sirens they have met until now, despite being mass-produced Humanoid Sirens. And second, they are not attacking Azur Lane, but more travelling with them.

Nagato : ...I don't even know what to say.

Mutsu : Why are they not attacking ?

Kawakaze : Well, Charles is with them, he's gonna explain what is happening.

Mikasa : And maybe it could have a link with his message.

The Sardegnia Empire group docked while the four girls approached them.

Executioner I : Well, thanks for accompanying us, you may go back to the Dreamworld if you wish.

Dreamworld Siren 627 : Thank you, Leader. We're going back. Just call us if you need anything.

Executioner I : Just keep me informed about the other groups.

Dreamworld Siren 516 : It will be done, Leader. Until then, farewell.

A bright light engulfed all the Sirens. As the light disappeared, so did the Sirens, while Executioner I went back to his human form.

Nagato : While it's nice to see you completing the mission, do you mind explaining about those Sirens ?

Charles : To make it short, I'm leading the Dreamworld Sirens.

Mikasa : NANI ?!

Shinano : The Sirens from the Dreamworld aren't controlled by the Creator, and since they know about Charles being the savior of the Sirens, they swore allegiance to him.

Kawakaze : Wow...

Amagi : Their help were greatly appreciated. Especially since we were tired from all the constant Siren Fleet attacks.

Ember : Thanks to this, we didn't suffered as much damage as we thought.

Mutsu : Did we took back the Mediterranean Sea ?

Vittorio Veneto : We did, and the Siren presence has greatly decreased.

Littorio : The suplly routes between here and Taranto should be safer now.

Mikasa : Charles, about those Sirens, were they what you were mentioning in your message ?

Charles : Indeed. I didn't wanted for the Creator to know it, so I came up with this cryptic message.

Nagato : I see. Will we see them again ?

Charles : While we are speaking, three other groups are preparing themselves. Tester Beta, Omitter, Arbiter VIII and Enforcer VIII are leading them to help the Royal Navy, Ironblood and the Northern Parliament.

Ember : Didn't you said that they only obey you ?

Charles : I did. The only reason they will follow the orders of someone else is because I tasked them to do it, but otherwise they only follow my orders.

Amagi : Well, in any case, we will go rest for a while. This mission was one of the hardest to do.

Nagato : Don't worry. Go ahead. The Manjuus shall help with the repairs.

Amagi : Thank you, Lady Nagato.

Everyone went back inside the base to rest and relax, waiting for how the mission will undergo for the others.

Meanwhile in Kiel :

3rd P.O.V

Bismarck was waiting for some news from Nagato, so ahe and her fleet can finally start doing their part. The door opened and a Shipgirl entered the room.

Bismarck : I take it you got some news.

??? : Indeed. The Mediterranean Sea is now under our control.

Bismarck : Gut. It's time for us to launch our offensive.

??? : But I also have to say that Tester Beta has come here to join us for the attack.

Bismarck : I see. In that case, you and the other girls will finally fight with us.

??? : *smiles* Our time to shine is finally happening. I wonder how my Schwester will react when she will hear about me.

Bismarck : We'll see that. In any case, call everyone on the harbor. It's our turn to continue our unstoppable march.

??? : Very well. I will go right away.

(A/N) : And that's it for chapter 37. I hope you have enjoyed it. Feel free to leave your feedback and opinion in the comments.

I have nothing to say about the book right now, so here's a question for you instead.

For those of you, Azur Lane players, who have lvl 120 Shipgirls, who was your first lvl 120 Shipgirl ? For me, it was Hood, although I don't use that much now that I have Richelieu. Let me know who it was for you.

In any case, thanks for reading this chapter. And see you in the next one.

TheBreizhOne out !
