Previously on chapter 32

After the mission of OPERATION BIG BANG, The Operation was a success... However, It was very unlucky for them, at the time they were in the mission area. They must face a mysterious pilot named Mr.X. Also known as Mihaly Dumitru Margareta Corneliu Leopold Blanca Karol Aeon Ignatius Raphael Maria Niketas A. Shilage, AKA Mihaly A Shilage. One of the best if not the best Erusean pilot ever had.

Luckily Trigger managed to shoot him down, But at the memory of Observer Alpha, Killed by the man. After that, They went back to Aigaion. Omitter almost loses her emotion. But good thing Cleveland was able to calm her. At the Aigaion, when the fleet is taking rest.. in Emperor however... having some "fun" time with Taihou, as they are currently sleeping in the same room as the emperor.

04:30 AM

At the Emperor's room, It was dark and cold inside. and we could see the two love birds sleeping together, Naked in the bed since it was after their "fun" times. Not long after, Emperor begins to awaken from his sleep.

Emperor: *Yawns and tries to move, but can't* Huh..?

He noticed that Taihou is currently hugging his right hand, putting his hands into her chest. Emperor can only smile, Then kiss her forehead.

Taihou:Mhmm..zzz.. love you my dearly em~pe~ror~~ zzzz..

He patted Taihou head.

Emperor: Hey hey.. Wake up~ it's morning today~

Taihou:Mhmm...zzzz

Emperor: Hmm, Guess that doesn't work I guess.

He looked around, then grabbed a body pillow. He quickly replaced his left hand that is hugged by taihou, and replaced it with his body pillow. He thought taihou would immediately wake up by that, But she just actually kept sleeping and hugging the body pillow.

Emperor: Close one! Phew..!

Without long thinking, he stands up from his bed. Then he immediately decided to take a bath, took him 10 minutes and got out of the bathroom. He would wear an OMDF uniform now. He goes back to his bed, grabs Taihou's clothes and puts them on his desk. Not long after that, Taihou begins to wake up.

Taihou:  mhmm... Ehhh..?

She noticed that she was hugging a body pillow, not Emperor band.

Emperor: Oh you already awoken? Good morning my love~

Taihou: Hmp, we should supposed to be woke up together~

Emperor: Well.. I did try, and you are still sleeping.

Taihou: It is..~? Oh I am sorry then~

She begins to sit on the bed, The blanket falls off and reveals her breast. Which make Emperor blushes a bit.

Taihou: Ehhehe~ last night is fun isn't~?

Emperor just blushing a little, after what happened in their last night event.

Emperor: Yeah I know, You can go take a bath now.

Taihou: Alright!

Taihou immediately walks to his bathroom, and takes a shower. Emperor walks to his bed and sits, Then his mind begins to think again about alicorn.

Emperor's Mind: is.. is there really some way to bring back alicorn back to himself...?

Emperor keep thinking this repeating the same for several times. Is there really possible to bring Alicorn back from the possessed Ghost Torres that somehow appears in his body? How was the captain able to take control of his whole mind? Can... Only killing the alicorn is the good and fastest way? This whole question is the most repeating one in his mind.

Taihou finishes with her bath, She gets out from the bathroom and covers herself with a towel. Emperor didn't bother to look at half-naked Taihou, Taihou immediately put on her clothes. After that, She approaches him and hugs him from behind.

Taihou: .. You're thinking about Alicorn again, aren't you?

Emperor only gave her a small nod.

Emperor: Is there any way to bring him back? Killing him is just too much...

Taihou: None of us know how to bring him back, Especially.. We can't kill his former captain. He's a ghost that possessed him..

Emperor keeps thinking how to stop him, Until he remembers something... His relationships.

Emperor: Wait wait.. Taihou, Tell me now.. Whose shipgirl is close to him?

Taihou: Ah, That would be the Essex classes, and he is closest with Shangri-La.

Emperor: Shangri-La...Maybe.. she can do it.

Taihou: What are you trying to plan to do my dear..?

Emperor: If she is closest to Alicorn, Then she might do something to figure it out! I know this is kinda stupid... But it's better than nothing.

Taihou: Heh..~ You aren't trying to make her. Showing her true feelings to him don't you~?

Emperor: .. You damn girl, You read my mind.

Taihou: I guess there's nothing powerful than a love~~

Taihou slowly moves her hand around Emperor. Her left hand is on his left cheek while her right hand is on the Emperor's right cheek. Then out of sudden, Taihou kisses his cheek full of her love. Emperor can't help it but accepts her kiss after the events of "fun" times in light night.

Taihou: Take it as my love and gift for you~

Emperor: Mhmmm..~ her lips are softer than I thought.. Guess it wasn't bad at all with her.

Emperor: Uh, Thanks I guess.

She giggled at him, and grabbed his right hand to put it on her cheek.

Taihou: Hehe~! Oh and, wanna go and hangout around~?

Emperor: it's still too early, but I guess fine by me then.

Taihou grabs his right arm, Then drags him outside Emperor's room. After both of them are outside his room, She begins to hug his right arm. Although Emperor doesn't mind it, He just gave her a smile. And they both begin to walk around inside the Aigaion ship.

Scene changed into Aigaion's bridge.

Inside the Aigaion bridge is pretty silent, There's no other people besides Aigaion. standing in front of her ship's control. She was monitoring all of her ship's condition, along with observing a global map which is completely different from her world, Strangereal and the Earth. And because she didn't had anything to do, she just read up on every country's capital city cuz boredom lmao.

But it all got interrupt when something is beeping

Aigaion: Huh? a dot?

Aigaion looks up into her Radar, she sees 1 large red dot in her radar screen. The single large red dot is in the south east part of Japan, around 680 KM from tokyo to the south east part.

Aigaion: wait.. this shouldn't be possible..

Aigaion rushes to activated the scanner inside her radar to scan and identify the large dot is. But then much surprising to her...

Aigaion: Alicorn!!

Aigaion then immediately activated the emergency alarm, calling everyone into the Aigaion bridge for an emergency situation. We can already see Alicorn is already making moves toward the Japan main land, Especially like what the captain's original purpose. Firing its 600M Railgun toward the main land, Which is why he cant use it more in long range, due the damage and hit from Arbiter's laser from previous battles.

a little time skip into Aigaion's bridge

Everyone else is now at Aigaion bridge where they are going to be briefing. And because it can't fit everyone else inside the room, Some Shipgirls or Sirens are watching it from a TV Camera.

Aigaion: Everyone.. We have an emergency, Alicorn is already nearing the Japan mainland, And there could be a possibility to get closer to the mainland to get more range.

Zuikaku: Getting in range? Didn't have his main weapon that was able to reach 3,000 KM away?

Hood:I think it is because Arbiter damaged his Railgun before.

Justice: You are correct Hood,that is why Alicorn is trying to get near on range. on a previous battle. Alicorn's Railgun was able to get some damage, Thanks to the arbiter.

Arbiter: Mhm, I almost killed that day.

Hornet: That could already buy ourselves some time.

Nagato: Damage or not, They must not get closer and fire its weapon to our homeland japan!

Aigaion: That's why we have an emergency, Miss Nagato. We must prevent alicorn from launching its Railgun to mainland Japan.

Enterprise: So... What's our plan this time?

Justice: First of all, I want every shipgirls deployed in a large fleet. Consider this as our last and will be a final battle and end this conflict.

Aigaion: About the Torres/alicorn reinforcements... We have no intel regarding the fleet. but for now, we do have some prediction that.. the fleet will arrive around 45 Minutes, it would be a huge problem for the shipgirls.

Justice: But luckily, since Stonehenge is a destroyed, you shipgirls will have full support from us, the Aigaion and Arsenal Birds support during the mission. Which makes your job a lot easier. But still, Keep your surroundings.

Liberty: Not to mention the 3 aces will come and join the fight too!

Hornet: Fleet problem maybe we could already deal with it.. So how about we 'defeat' alicorn?

Justice: For this... we don't know yet, not if you choose try to get closer to alicorn. and bring back to his sense-

Inside the bridge, Everything is becoming loud when they hear the plan to get closer to the alicorn. Which is for them a suicide mission. They would already get shredded by Alicorn's railgun or even CIWS.

Emperor: Everybody calm down! That may be the possible thing to bring back alicorn.

Everyone then immediately become a dead silent, and all of them move their heads toward Emperor and Taihou. Emperor were already inside the bridge, Hearing about the discussion with the mission. He was laying against the wall, with his hands are in X position. And Taihou is alongside him, And he walks near Justice and Taihou follows the Emperor wherever he goes.

Emperor: And I know the key to bring him back.

Enterprise: What key? Sacrificing ourselves just to get closer to him!?

Kawakaze: Oh helll noooooooohohoaaaaahhhhh~

and just like that, Kawakaze is still scared about the destructive power of Alicorn's CIWS when it comes to close range, not to mention that he has many.

Justice: And what key? Do you think these shipgirls or even sirens can bypass his air defense system!?

Aigaion: And who's even the "key"!?

Emperor: We will fight for it, Disturb his AA system, Open the path for her.

Everyone else is almost shocked with the "her", they look at him in confusion and who was the key to bring back alicorn?

Justice: Her? What are you talking about Emperor?

Emperor then points his finger to the girl, none other than Shangri-La.

Emperor: She is.

Shangri-La: Ehhh!? W-Why me!?

Justice: Emperor what the hell are you thinking!? You aren't choosing random girl for thi-

Taihou: No he wasn't~

Taihou cut and interrupted the Justice's line, as she joined with the convo. While Emperor was still raising his hand and finger toward Shangri-La.

Taihou: You see~ my dearest Emperor isn't just choosing a random girl just to go straight to alicorn~ he has the reasons, And so do Shangri-la.

Shangri-la: W-what are you talking about!?

Essex: Are you saying that my sister will do a suicide mission!?

Taiho: What are our other options besides our cruel plan to sink him?

Shangri-La: I..!! Uhhh..

Emperor: Besides, You can do something with him. Especially... Your feelings for him.

Shangri-La thought of herself about her feelings toward alicorn, from the time she met him.. And not only that, he saved her elder sister, Essex. Then to here.. All about the Journey she came through with him.

Enterprise: F-Feelings..?

Warspite: Well well.. Doesn't that sound very odd? A man got possessed with a ghost, then only way to bring back normal is until his partner told her true feelings.

Emperor: What Warspite said is true, your feelings toward alicorn. Is the only way to bring him back, I know this might sound really ridiculous, but we have to do it.

Shangri-La just doesn't know what to say, but she is willing to say her true feelings toward him.

Justice: Okay okay there jenius.. So what's our plan then.

Emperor lowered his hands, look at him with a smile

Emperor: We'll go with your plan, deploy a fleet. Once we are able to take out enough of his ship's escort and his AA, we will try to open a path for Shangri-La to get closer with him. And see what's going on next.

Justice: Sounds good for me, Let's do it then.

Everyone in the room agreed with the plan, then all of them began to stand up from their seats.

Justice: We will bring him back! No matter what the cost.. Or even sacrifice we need to do.. Besides.. This battle isn't for only one..

Enterprise: For Azur Lane.

Arbiter: For the Siren Empire.

Liberty:For the Strangereal too!

Shangri-La: This is too.. For alicorn..

Justice: With all of that... For world safety!

Every shipgirls in the room: HAI/HURRAH!!

Meanwhile... At the Pilot rooms.

The TV showing conversations and making plans is still active... however Cipher, Trigger and Mobius...

Mobious and Cipher are playing chess, they're already losses their soldiers much, Both of them are sweating and staring each other. Cipher on his side only had a King, 2 bishops and 1 knight. On the Mobius side, it only has a king, 1 Rook and 2 knights.

Trigger on the other hand.... He was laying down in his bed, and Apparently playing gacha games that he spent real money just to get good waifu in the game. Which is now.. Already spending 100 Bucks into the game, And yes. He also had Bad luck to summon good waifu.

Timeskip for about.. 20 minutes.

All Azur lane (including Crimson Axis girls) and Sirens are now in the seas. forming up into a large scale Naval Group, With several shipgirls for the meantime turning their Wisdom Cubes into ships. And they also got escorted by the Sirens Mass Production ships.

The Aircraft Carriers and Battleships are in the middle of the group, They could launch aircraft or fire their guns at any time. But maybe, Excluding the Aircraft Carriers Enterprise, Kaga, Graff Zeppelin and Purifier. All those 4 are riding their planes in the skies, While behind them are all the Ace pilots Trigger, Cipher and Mobious.

Despite the Flying Fortress coming late, they'll only provide heavy support such as Aigaion with Nimbus missiles and Arsenal Birds Helious Projectiles.

After sailing for several minutes..

Downneck: Note, this "<< (insert word)>>" here means talking on the radio, Just like ace combat talks.

Enterprise, riding on her SBD, saw something in her front.

Enterprise: <<Girls.. I think I saw something in the distance..>>

Emperor: <<Then we are nearing on alicorn, Everyone! In battle statio- !?>>

The Emperor checks his radar, suddenly.. He got 21 red dots around the alicorn, at the front and back of the alicorn are another large dot.

Emperor , though feeling of this , somehow recognized this fleet.

Purifier: <<Wait wait! I saw many dots my radar.. it was small and in coming fast really fast!!>>

Hornet: <<do you think those are birds there-?>>

Emperor while he was talking to his thoughts, hearing Purifier radio he was shocked.

Emperor: <<ENTERPRISE, KAGA , ZEPPELIN AND PURIFIER! EVASIVE MANEUVERS NOW!!!>>

The 4 aircraft carriers were immediately shocked by Emperor shouting at them. They immediately evasive maneuvers.. Then it was right. Those small dots coming to them are SAM.

The Missiles coming at them really fast and one by one the 4 Aircraft Carriers planes are shot down by the missile that is coming toward from Alicorn. The missiles hitting their planes are RIM-162, Due to the explosion and accurate, some planes are still got hit by the debrish and the explosion from the missile.

The Aircraft Carriers in the skies are having hard time to dodge the incoming modern accurate anti air missile.

Bismarck: What happened to them!? I see several small planes coming at them!

Omitter: Those ain't planes, those are missiles! Are they come from the alicorn-

Emperor: <<In coming enemy aircraft!!!>>

The missiles were only distraction, in another side of them. The unknown aircraft was attacking them, There were around 4 aircraft attacking them. They launching their missiles and Anti ship missiles, along with that there's also a guided munitions bomb. and because of the attack, Several ship girls along with Siren mass production model got sunk or heavily damage.

Emperor: Fuck fuck! where did they come from!? W-wait... are those..!?

He looked up into the air, and he could see the planes that attacked the shipgirls. There were 4 planes, F-14D Super Tomcat , F/A-18E Super Hornet, YF-23 Black Window And F-15 S/MTD. All the aircraft are dropping their Bombs, Guided bombs and Anti ship missiles toward the fleet. after that they begin to return toward the alicorn fleet, But what he caught was really interesting... All of these planes are painted in crimson red and all of them did not have a nationality mark.

Emperor: Wait... those aircraft... Impossible!

While some shipgirls suffered heavy damage the 3 pilots noticed this and start chasing the 4 planes that immediately fleeing from the fleet bombardment.

Washington: H-Hell.. those planes... my fire control radar is been hit!

Ulrich Von Hotten: Schiesser.. My ship is badly damaged..

Ulrich falls down as she coughs some blood. Odin was there to help her up.

Odin: Damn it! Ulrich is heavily damage and she can't fight anymore!

Taihou: Several shipgirls are injured and badly damaged! They can't keep this up!

Emperor: Fuck!

Emperor: <<All ships that are currently badly damaged, Please retreat from the area immediately! I don't want see any friendly ships sunk!>>

Siren mass production ships: insert crying thumbs up cat

Z23: Several destroyers got their radar damage from their attacks! but they still can keep up fighting!

Meanwhile then.. at the Siren aircraft carriers position. There was a sound.. A whistling sound and...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!

The explosions were so large and powerful and the shockwave could felt by all shipgirls in the area, as they started shaking and scared to fight with Alicorn.

Arbiter: What the hell!? Where do they come from!?

Emperor: Fucking hell FAEBs! They must've already prepared for our welcome!

Soryu: Too late sending the Fighters! They are already fleeing from the area! Enterprise, Kaga , Zeppeling and Purifier cant either!

in the sky.. a whistling could be heard..

Javelin: what's that sound..?

Ayanami: That sound... Its battleship shell! evade!!

3 battleship shells lands at the nearest position of the Destroyer fleet, luckily with their speed and maneuver they were able to dodge all the incoming shells. more 6 battleship shells coming but lucky to all destroyers. all of them are missed.

Meanwhile at the 3 pilots, They continue to intercept the planes that was surprise attack at them. and after they got close to the fighters and having missile lock at them...

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

BRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

The sound and rapid firing of CIWS firing at them, the 3 pilots abort to lock on target toward the planes that are just attacking the fleet. They begin to fly off from the location and try to take a closer look into the source of CIWS.

Once they are out of CIWS range, they begin to look at the alicorn fleet. but surprisingly at them.. Alicorn brought another fleet that no one expected to come..

Mobius himself, Recognizing all the fleet he saw around alicorn, all of them are similar to the fleet he was tasked to sink them.

The 3 pilots took photographs of the fleet and sent it toward the Strangelian kansens.

Emperor got the photograph of the Alicorn fleet, he was really shocked to see what kind of fleet Alicorn brought.

Emperor: Wait... this isn't impossible...

Taihou looks at him confused, and she wants to see what's inside the photo that 3 pilots took.

Taihou: W-what happened!?

Emperor: This can't be possible... 1 Battleship.. 1 aircraft carrier.. and 21 escort ships...

Emperor eyes got widen realizing the fleet that alicorn brought to this

Emepror: AEGIR FLEET!?

Chapter Ends.
