September 2nd, 2019, somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea, 3 P.M.

3rd POV

In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, everything is calm, the sun shines brightly and the sailors were singing happily.

Those were the sailors of the one and only French Aircraft Carrier active nowadays, the MNF Charles De Gaulle, that was originally supposed to be named MNF Richelieu.

The reason it was created was to replace the former Aircraft Carrier, the MNF Clémenceau that was later scrapped in 2009-2010. Since his launch in 1994, the MNF Charles de Gaulle went through numerous missions and sorties up to now where it's members fight against the terrorists of ISIS who is threatening the world peace.

Right now, the crew is doing a maintenance on the planes to assure they function without any problems while others verify the state of their electronic. Meanwhile, in a big room above then, we can see a man of high authority watching over the crew while looking at the sea for potential threats. It was the Admiral Louis de Gaulle (A/N : Not an actual person, just a character created for the story), grandson of the one and only General Charles de Gaulle, the reason why France resisted during WW2 against Germany and its allies and managed to win against them thanks to the help of the USA, the UK and even the USSR, making Germany admit defeat the 8th of May 1945.

The Admiral Louis de Gaulle, unlike his grandfather, was more interested in the navy. He joined it at his 18 years old and became quickly one of the best Admirals in the world at only 30 years old, and was given the command of the MNF Charles de Gaulle, an honor for him because the Aircraft Carrier was the only one in the French Navy at the time (and still is) and it wield the name of his grandfather, one of the most known heroes in the French History.

Right now, he was sipping his coffee while preparing a speech for a victory. They just destroyed one of the most important bases of ISIS, which was not easy due to the AA they possessed. He wanted to congratulate his crew for the victory while reminding them the the danger of terrorism is still present. While he was working on it, a man entered to deliver to the Admiral the report for the maintenance.

??? : Admiral ! I have a report for you concerning the maintenance of our planes !

Louis de Gaulle : Thank you, Lieutenant Thiebault ! Leave it there and go rest, you deserve it !

Thiebault : Thank you, Admiral ! Will we celebrate our victory against ISIS ?

Louis de Gaulle : It is scheduled for tonight ! So, go rest ! You will need the energy for tonight ! I heard they're going to bring some wine from Sancerres ! They do quite some good wine there ! *smirking* but there will also be some good old beer !

Thiebault : YESSSSS !!! BEER IS THE BEST BEVERAGE IN THE WORLD !!!

Louis de Gaulle : *chuckles* You never change, do you ? Now, please give me some silence, I need concentration, so I can finish this speech before tonight !

Thiebault: *red from embarrassment*Oops, sorry Admiral ! I was so excited that I forgot that ! I'm pretty sure the rest of the crew will be delighted to know we're going to feast tonight ! See you, old man !

Louis de Gaulle : Yeah, see you idiot !

After leaving the deck, the Admiral finally go back to his speech.

September 2nd, 2019, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, 6 P.M.

Admiral Louis de Gaulle P.O.V

I finally finished my speech ! God, this is as annoying as paperwork. I was going to rest a little before the beginning of the festivities when suddenly I heard a message from the radio.

??? : Admiral ! Quick ! We have A problem !

I rushed to the radio to answer to the man, which would be the Lieutenant Pierre.

Louis de Gaulle : What is the emergency, Lieutenant Pierre?!

Pierre : There is a storm that just appeared out of nowhere !

Louis de Gaulle (mind) : Impossible ! It was supposed to be a clear sky for at least 3 days ! How can it be ?!

Louis de Gaulle : How dangerous is that storm, Lieutenant Pierre ?!

Pierre : It's quite powerful, and it seems to be heading towards our direction !

Louis de Gaulle : (mind) Putain ! (out loud) Tell the crew to prepare themselves ! We need to get away from it ! Quickly !!!

Pierre : Roger that ! I'll tell immediately the crew !

*radio stops*

Louis de Gaulle : Let's hope everything will be fine !

September 2nd, 2019, 7 P.M.

Admiral Louis de Gaulle P.O.V

Louis de Gaulle : (mind) Everything is going south ! How can this storm managed to get us ?! Can it gets worse ?

Just as I thought that, the Lieutenant Thiebault entered the deck, out of breath.

Thiebault : Admiral... There is... something... strange... on the waters... standing there... without moving...

I took my binoculars to see what he is talking about. As I zoomed, I see something as terrifying as mysterious. There was a weird little girl that seems to be floating on the water. She had long white hair and yellow eyes. The most frightening thing was that she was on some kind of robotic octopus, looking at us with an evil smirk on her face.

As soon as I put back on my desk the binoculars, I started running outside, the Lieutenant Thiebault just behind me.

Louis de Gaulle : Putain ! Who the hell is that girl and what is she doing in the middle of nowhere ?!

Thiebault : I don't know either, but her metallic octopus has weapons on it !

Louis de Gaulle : We need to shoot it down !

Thiebault : I'll tell the crew  to start shooting it !

??? P.O.V

I was standing in front of an Aircraft Carrier, smirking about the demise it will meet.

??? : Fufufu~ Look at all those humans running in fear ! This is truly delightful to see ! Too bad I had got the orders to sink it ! I can't wait to see the despair on their face as they die...

Admiral Louis de Gaulle P.O.V

As I got outside, I can clearly see that my crew is terrified of that little girl. If it wasn't for the fact she wasn't armed with that weird looking octopus, I would have deadpanned as this was as ridiculous as a man burning his house because of a 2mm spider that was standing there looking at that man showering.

Sailor 1 : AHHHHHHHH !!! WE'RE SCREWED !!!

Sailor 4 : EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES !!!

Sailor 69 : WE'RE GOING TO GET RAPED !!!

I sweatdropped at the last comment. He should really stop watching those weird Japanese cartoons.

Louis de Gaulle : MEN !!! STOP SCREWING AROUND AND GET READY TO SHOOT THAT THING, WHATEVER IT IS !!!

??? : Fufufu~ It's already too late ! Your demise is sealed !

Louis de Gaulle : NANI ?!?!! WHO ARE YOU ?!?! AND WHAT ARE YOU ?!?!

??? : It doesn't matter to you because you will die right here and right now !

As she said that, she teleported out of the boat while an explosion was heard. I looked in horror as I saw a huge fire spreading on the boat. I can't believe it. Sunk by a little girl. So, this is how it ends. At the bottom of the ocean just after destroying an important base of ISIS. At least I have contributed to the good cause.
I closed my eyes, waiting for my final moments to come, thinking about my crew, my family.
Another explosion has occured, covering all of the deck, and the crew and I with it.

Louis de Gaulle : I'm... sorry... everyone...

Those were the last words I could muster before seeing the seeding white light engulfing me.

??? P.O.V

I watched from afar the explosion of that Aircraft Carrier. Satisfied with the result, I started to teleport myself back to the base.

???: Fufufu~ I wonder how the future will play out now ! Let's go back to our world !

3rd P.O.V

The portal started to disappear as the little girl with the little girl go through it.
On the other side, 2 other girls, both with white hair and yellow eyes, were waiting her return.

???1 : So, Observer Alpha, how did it went ?

Observer Alpha : It was a success. That MNF Charles de Gaulle has sunk and been transported to our world. I'm curious about what will happen to it. What do you think, Tester ?

Tester : So where it is ?

???2 : Who cares ? It's just a plain old floating metal piece of shit !

Oberserver Alpha : Shut up, Purifier ! You clearly don't understand what we did ! But I supposed this was to be expected from an idiotic child with the intelligence of a rock ! Then again, it is an insult for the rock !

Purifier : WHAT WAS THAT, PIG FACE ?!?!

Observer Alpha : CARE TO REPEAT THAT, OLD HAG ?!?!

Tester : SILENCE !!! *both stop insulting each other* It doesn't matter where it is ! We will still defeat him once again and sink it for good !

Observer Alpha : That's right ! Well, I need to go see how Project Orochi is progressing ! Purifier, go make yourself useful for once and go observe Azur Lane. You may use them as entertainment if you want.

Purifier : FINALLY !!! I was itching some fighting! *teleports out of the room*

Observer Alpha and Tester : -_-

Tester : Oh well, at least she can do her job right ! Now, let's go back to work ! Arbiter still needs the report of our actions !

Observer Alpha : You're right ! One step closer to the end of humanity ! Fufufu~

*Screen turns black*

(A/N) : This is all for the prologue! I hope you enjoyed it ! I will try my best to make this a good book !

For chapter 1, I would like to know your opinion about something : shall I start the plot in the Azur Lane world directly  with the classical conflict between Azur Lane and Crimson Axis it should I do something different where (Y/N) ends up near the conflict between Iris Libre and Vichiya Dominion before moving on gradually to the Azur Lane/Crimson Axis conflict ?

So what do you want for the plot ?

- Start off  directly with the Azur Lane/ Crimson conflict ?

Or (don't comment here unless you want to end up on a date with Siren Head)

-Start off with the Iris Libre/Vichiya Domion conflict to gradually go to the Azur Lane/Crimson Axis conflict ?

You can leave your feedback or suggestions in the comments !

Thank you for reading the prologue and see you on the next chapter !
