Chapter Eleven
Fourth five minutes sense last chapter, with Kaga.
The white girls girl walked away from the bar as she headed towards her and her sisters shared dorm as she entered with the key which he hanged upon her waist, she looked around before heading off to her side of the room and within a secret compartment begin to pull out supplies that she would need.
Her mind raced with thought, about what Atheon said, and the gateway Network that she could create.
If something like that was truly possible then that would mean this war would dramatically shift in their favor, supplies was a necessary thing to begin any form of combat and if this gateway system promised exactly as she said it would then receiving said supplies would be as simple as breathing. They would be able to stockpile ammunition faster have more medicine and basically everything they could possibly need at a beck and call without needing to wait which means that the supply Lanes could be changed into traps..... if their enemies were to know.
'That could work, we could lure them into a trap. Atheon's gateway Network would allow us to never have to worry about supply Lanes, we could use the manpower we need in order to survey those Waters in order to focus more on our objective of creating the orochi. Then we could use false information in order to devastate our enemies more, let's say an envelope which is meant to be sent for iron blooded to change the routes of our supplies, and it gets discovered by members of Azur lane upon attacking one of our recon team sent to deliver it. They would used this opportunity to try and sever our supply Lanes which thanks to her would be unnecessary, then we can stage a strike in case them and crush them right there and then.'
She begin to imagine this plan in a great amount of detail, going over every piece in her mind. Going over every flaw which could arise and then subsequently finding a solution to said flaw, but even with all this said and though, there was still the problem of having to get nagato to agree with it. But she was confident that would be the least challenging part of this, after all the amount of data they could collect would be astronomical with a battle of this scale and who now's what else Atheon could create for them with the technology of her race, new ships, weapons, first aid, the possibilities were endless especially when you consider how much more technologically advanced she is compared to everyone else even the sirens.
Kaga found herself subconsciously smiling in delight, finally after so long of them having to take defeat after defeat from the gray ghost Enterprise, and Azur lane they could turn the tide of this war and with the help and cooperation of Atheon, they could revolutionize every possible thing they would need to win they could have shaped this war into how they wanted it to they would be in the front steering everything, with all the others in the back having to accept the fact that they're not the ones in control anymore.
She was shacking with excitement, a fire began to burn within her a fire which she thought was extinguished long ago, a fire which only seemed to burn with her racing heart each time her heartbeat that fire grew, determination pumped through her veins. And fire began to shine from her eyes, the fiery which showed the level of determination which was oozing from her.
She packed up everything and went towards the door, as she neared it she stopped as her sister walked in. Elegantly walking each step lightly tapped upon their wooden floor, as she looked at her younger sibling and smiled.
"My my Kaga that's such a beautiful expression you have on your face, I didn't think you could make such a face."
Kaga widened her eyes before looking in the mirror, and lo and behold she was seeing that very same expression. The expression a soldier makes when they are determined to make some kind of change, to make sure that their life is not just empty, hollow, that there life meant something. The fire in her eyes blazed like a raging thunder Storm, seeing this she took deep breaths to calm down, perhaps she got a bit excited at the thought to finally being able to crush Azur lane and by proxy be able to complete project orochi and see her sister happy, and be reunited with Amagi. Got to her a bit more then she thought, and she was needing to calm the hell down before she burst.
After some deep breaths to calm her nerves which pulsed with overwhelming joy, she looked back at her sister which her usual blank facile expression.
"Owww Kaga don't get rid of that face after I just saw it my dear sister. After all it's not ever day I can see my dear sister get so excited over something."
"S-sister i-its nothing." She looked away as she attempted to flee but Akagi got in her way, her eyes looked upon her like a parent wanting to now what there child was hiding. "Please dear sister move out the way I need to get going."
She moved past her but Akagi wasn't done, not by a long shoot.
"Dear Kaga are you perhaps in a rush to get back to Atheon?"
The white haired Kitsune froze in place which only added to Akagi's suspicion.
"My my Kaga ever sense she's been here can you connecting quite strange like your heart's been caught by her Sapphire gaze, you practically freeze up whenever she's mentioned by others and from what I heard from Prinz Eugen, you had quite the interesting event which surrounded our new member. She said that you got jealous, is that true Kaga, have you fallen for Atheon?"
Kaga turned her head and had a light blush across her face, it wasn't like she was in love or anything but then again she didn't even understand her own feelings towards the Vex, and that encounter with Prinz Eugen was something that she never expected.
It was like she wasn't the one talking but instead a deep negative feeling deep within herself, a feeling which was triggered by Prinz Eugen's attempt to teach Atheon that unholy version of what she calls teasing, this feeling manifested the second she saw there hold and she didn't even now why. But she couldn't help but imagine herself in that hold, with her arms wrapped around her holding her like the most important thing in the world.
Truth be told after that day she had another dream although this one was stranger then usual, she and Atheon stood within a large room, a massive almost glass like structure behind them as they stood within something called the glass throne this room didn't seem like much until later on when it shifted into something else, she couldn't recall what it was but it felt familiar, like she knew what it was. And it made her feel at home, like she finally found a place that she could rest and call a home with the vex in her dreams.
Then almost peculiar of things raised up within her mind and she began to remember this just right after this home like area was created, she could faintly remember the sounds of rapid footsteps approaching, then followed by a squeal of pure joy as a small child would throw themselves into her arms. Kaga could still remember how that child's embrace felt nice, she had a warm feeling rise up and take center stage.
All this because of theses dreams about Atheon, they awoken a desire to do something with her but she didn't now she never felt romantic love at all in her life, she was always busy having to fight in endless war, lose the ones closest to her and have family be taken away from her.
So she didn't now definitively if she was in love with Atheon, but something inside of her wouldn't mind giving it a shoot at least, after all she did have theses feeling boil there way to the forefront of her mind and it wouldn't hurt to indulge in them a little..... Right?
She looked over at her sister who silently waited for her to respond and letting out a sigh she faces her older sibling.
"To be quite honest with you dear sister I don't now what I'm feeling.... She awakened so new feeling that I... That I don't understand, I feel warm when I have the dreams of her, I feel joy when parred up with her. And this negative feeling arised when Eugen tried to do whatever she did with Atheon.... I just don't now theses feeling makes me feel weak but at the same time I like it.... I just-"
"Ow dear Kaga it's quite evident at what you're going through." She wore a beautiful smile as she couldn't help but be filled to the brim with joy, after all her little baby sister was now starting to understand her most wanting desire.
"Then what is it sister?"
"Kaga" her hand reached up and rested upon the the side of her face. "Your in love."
"W-what!!! B-but how!! We haven't even known each other for that long! And aren't these things supposed to take months!!! years!!"
"Kaga, you have dreams about her as you told me which is completely new news, which now I would like to now about."
"...... Well sister they're not per say dreams.... They're more like visions."
"Visions."
"Yes visions... I see different things but all of them share a common point that being Atheon... But now..."
She looked at the clock and realized that she was about to miss the deadline. Seeing this she sprinted past her sister despite her yelling for her, but the white haired nine tails already slammed at the door shut and left her alone. Akagi seeing this giggled a most unnerving giggle.
"Hehehehehe ow sister, I don't know whether or not to be overly joyed or burning with jealousy, to think you would find the one destined for you before I could find mine... Fufu but then again the will of fate works in mysterious ways but I wonder these dreams of yours how do they connect to her, and how is she suddenly capture the heart of my little sister."
*With the now sprinting Kitsune*
Kaga hurried as fast as she could, she dashed pasted any and all ship girls who got within her way, she had many confused but she didn't have time to clarify why she was in such a hurry, she only had about 3 minutes to get back and the place of which she needed to be at was about a five minute walk, so she was going to need to rush it if she wanted to be there on time.
So she went faster, and faster, and faster and eventually after running from the dorm all the way to the meeting spot she made it in time with only a few seconds to spare.
Upon sensing her arrival the Vex turned around and stared her dead in the eyes, Kaga was breathing slightly faster than usual but she didn't pay that any mind instead she just nodded her head as both of them headed down towards the docks. Upon arriving thousands of blue cubes formed and Kagas ship started to sall across the surface of the ocean as her companion went along with her, floating along its surface defying gravity at her leisure.
Off they went heading towards the rift within space and time, where there Atheon shall bestow upon them a network that will change the entire way the war is played out, but unknown to them they would be met with resistance like they never thought imaginable from there common enemy.
*With the sirens*
Currently three Sirens where seen floating Infront of the rift which they had discovered, there was the overseer, tester and a new face.
This was the leader of the Sirens, Arbiter: The Empress III. The one who commands the sirens to do as she wishes to further themselves in the art of war in order to improve themselves and evolve to higher heights.
Now she stood before the rift in space and time which brought an unwelcomed and an unexpected visitor one who despatched purifier like it was child's play, took on an Armada of her species and came out on top and the girl who put fear into the heart of tester.
Yes Tester Beta, the one who simulates the experiments and gives rise to the information they they need from said test was terrified of this girl, and the reason was simple.
This girl was unable to be calculated or even comprehend. She tried hundreds is not thousands of times to simulate the girl and each time it couldn't, first she thought it was because she was in alien so she
searched through the catalogs of all the timelines and world's they been to and altered, nothing. She tried finding scanning her energy to try and find a link to how to understand her, nothing once again. All that is did was make her even more confused, her energy fluctuated the time stream that she found herself within passively leaving behind space that was distorted and shifted.
(Kind of his the taken and oryx are able to affect SpaceTime, after all Atheon was basically bathed in energy that shifts the fabric of existence, and if you need evidence just look at her shield. It was able to block shoots from supers by distorting reality to the point where it couldn't even harm her. And this would work on this world's space time Continuum because of the simple fact that if her passive ability of bending reality can block supers (which hits harder then collapsing stars) then even if it's weakened while she's within this world it would still be able to mess with time and space within this reality.)
Meaning just her very existence was so strong that the very aspect of space was being broken by her passively existing.
Then the more and more she began to try the more and more she began to feel hopeless, this girl by just EXISTING had screwed over everything! And this is why she was terrified of the girl that was Atheon, this is why the Empress was informed ahead of time, and this is why the Overseer was appointed to be watching her at all times when she could.
All because this one girl just hopped out of this rift.
And now she was coming right back to it!
How did they now? Because one of the sirens which Overseer alpha sent out in order to keep eyes on her while she was summoned by there leader, reported that her and Kaga where leaving the Sakura Empire and where heading in the direction of the rift. This news alarmed the Empress for what could be so important to her that she is now heading back towards it? And what could be beyond this rift that warranted such a decision?
'What could be in there?' her mind ran wild with idea of what it could be that's drawing her back here. 'Weapons, Supplies, Resources, Technology?!'
She looked upon the rift as it pulsed with is pale blue glow, it was like a heart beating out energy with ever pulse. It looked alive to her, and she did not like that one singular bit. It was like the closer she got the more it glowed, like she and her shared a symbiotic relationship with each other so could the thing she wants not a thing but a creature?
'I don't like this, this is going off the rails faster then we would of liked to. She's disabled my and Overseers sight on the flow of time, Tester can't simulate her and Purifier couldn't get rid of her, she's consistently been able to counter and easily best each and every single one of us and now she's trying to return to the place at which she emerged this cannot be good we have to stop her...... But how?'
"Empress" she looked over at tester. "What is the plan, the demon is coming and she will want the rift."
"Demon? tester don't tell me your that scared of her that your now giving her such a nickname." Said Overseer, but she to was slightly shivering at the thought of that girl arriving, she tried to seem strong when before this and was definitely doing better than tester.
"Overseer, you too would share the same fear as me if you saw all that I saw. This rift... It's something I've never seen, which is why I wanted to bring you both here before she could."
"Then by all means tester share what you have found."
"My Empress this rift it leads to a place I have never thought imaginable, it's like reality and fiction where intertwined together, I shaw reality's shattering and space bending into a shape which it wanted, all this followed by a strict logic which cut off all that was unnecessary, it was like a puzzle. But if a puzzle piece didn't fit then that piece was cut off and a new one was fabricated, it was-" she rambled on and on about what she saw on the other side, her eyes went dim, and her mouth spoke faster and faster, she looked damn crazy rambling on about things that most of the other humanoid Sirens around looked at each other trying to find answers. Do to this Arbiter: The Empress III merely narrowed her eyes. Had Tester been corrupted in some kind of way? Or had the place which she looked into had some kind of defensive measures to prevent outsiders from interacting with it.
"Tester what is this world?"
"Ow what is that world?? She asks like it so simple to explain!! Ahahah ahahahhaha!!"
"Tester calm down" The leader held her shoulders as she could feel her shaking could it have been that bad?
(Ow and if any of you want to tell me that looking into the vault of glass wouldn't cause this then your a fool! A fool I tell ya! Because this vault is the EASIEST place to lose your mind, essentially if you try and dive into it without any background information on it. It's an INFINITE SPACE in a higher DIMENSIONAL PLAN, reality, and all other concepts are nothing within this world, it shifts and twist to how the templar and Atheon desires, this place was explicitly warned to GUARDIANS that if you dive to deep or allow it to get a hold of you, you will drift from time itself and lose yourself within the vault, essentially what that means is just a nice way of telling you that you're going to lose your DAMN MIND!!!)
"Calm down! CALM DOWN!!!!" She grabbed there leader by her shoulders and held herself up to her face, the sirens all around where ready to open fire if not for Empress holding up her hands, telling them to stop. "I HAVE SEEN THINGS WHICH NOTHING WE HAVE CAN HOPE TO BEGAN YO UNDERSTAND!! I HAVE SEEN REALITY'S BE TORN APART LIKE A TOY ONLY TO BE PUT BACK TOGETHER!! I'VE HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF DIFFERENT TIMELINES WITH NEAR ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ACTRESS!! EACH OF THOSE INVOLVED OUR DEATHS!! OUR ENTIRE SPECIES DESTRUCTION AND THE COMPLETE ERADICATION OF CROSS THE TIME LINES WE'VS BEEN TO!!! I WATCHED AS ALL DIE THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF TIMES EACH TIME IT BECAME MORE AND MORE CLEAR!! I'VE SEEN A POWER WHICH US OF ORGANIC SKIN AND ORGANS SHOULD HAVE NEVER SEEN! AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA!!"
"OVERSEER ALPHA! SEDATE TESTER NOW!!"
The Overseer had no problem with that, she rushed at Tester and grabbed her she resisted thrashing around in her hold, making to where she needed to use her tentacles to fully hold her down, then she aimed one of her smaller guns down at testers skin and shoot a needle into her skin which then the sedative took immediate effect making her eyes heavy and causing her to be rendered unconscious.
"Damnit, i wanted those needles to only be used on Atheon but whatever the hell Tester saw when she interacted with the rift caused her to go bat shit crazy. "
"Empress what is your orders? Whatever is in that rift we cannot have her reclaim it, Tester is evident of that, reality's tearing apart, being able to see Thousands of different timelines at once with near perfect accuracy. All the way to being able to see not only our deaths but our entire species annihilation across our hundreds of reality's we've been to... If that falls into her hands then-"
"It won't!" The Empress looked at her forced before sending a signal to the forces which she had control over, soon a portal opened up as an army of Sirens. Came flooding from it standing before her she looked down at the as the passed produced models came out and covered the sea in there glory, there ebony black mantel armor and there glowing red bits where on full display, she stood at the front of this army with all her forces awaiting her orders. "Here and now we make a stand! We will not let Athe-... No we will not let the demon clam what lies beyond the rift, we shall stand before her and make sure of it!"
The Sirens said nothing, nor did they need to say anything. They readied themselves for the coming storm that is rapidly approaching, as they stood prepared for the fight of the century, Overseer and Empress floated within the air as they where as silent as the night sky. The crashing of the waves was all that they could hear, Empress took a side glance and saw Overseer slightly shivering. Not that she could blame her, Atheon had killed purifier like it was the easiest thing in the world, and whatever she wanted caused Tester to lose her mind. She was now the last of the three elite Members, and Empress couldn't help but feel a bit sad for her, although they show no emotions they can still portray them and and now she could tell that she wanted to run, but she was staying out of a sense of duty.
"Overseer... Thank you."
"..... Think nothing of it my empress."
*With the Duo*
Atheon and Kaga where approaching the rift when Atheon saw something which brought the duo to a halt, there a few hundred meters away was an army of Sirens.
"Kaga, you need to go back."
"What?! Why?"
"Kaga, there is over 300 Mass produce models and 400 humanoid Sirens at that rift, they must have known we where coming because they formed a nearly impenetrable wall, which you won't be able to get through. You'll just be killed."
"But Atheon you can't take them all on by yourself! You would need backup!"
"There a difference between Backup and dead weight, and surely enough if this mission is to succeed the best illogical course of action for it is for me to go solo."
"B-but Atheon if you go solo you could get hurt or worst die!!!"
"Kaga my speed allows me to dough most of there attacks just fine, but if any of there attacks should land then my shield will be able to take there attacks after all there weapons aren't strong enough to harm me."
"That may be true but they could of made something to use on you! If you go in there alone you'll be surrounded and outgunned!"
"Kaga, I said the defense they had was impenetrable."
"Yes you did!"
"But I was meaning that to you, to me I can break through there defenses and I can make it back. So Kaga run back and wait for me I'll be back in no time."
Kaga activated her rig and stood before Atheon, she and her locked eyes before she hugged her, Atheon stiffened but hugged back, she could tell she was scared after all, her body was slightly shacking, her heart rate was spiking and everything else was there she was afraid to have her fight alone, but why? Was it because she was a member of there faction? Because she thought of her as a friend? Or maybe it was because of the thing humans called "love", honestly she didn't now but she returned the gesture and felt her melt into her hold, they stayed like that for some time before Atheon pulled away and looked into her eyes before turning off and blasting herself away.
Kaga slowly watched her despair into the horizon, as she felt her heart tightened in worry. She remembered what Akagi said and knew now it was true, she had fallen for Atheon, the Vex turned half organic.
And now she could do nothing more then wait for her to return, so she turned and summoned her ship she stood at the front of the shop as she set sailed back to the Island.
"Atheon.... Come back safe and alright."
*Elsewhere*
Now on a remote island a person could be seen laying down, before they opened there eyes as they could see through there broken visor.
They looked around the area and saw that they where in a place they couldn't recall.
"What tha? This isn't the last City or the Vault of Glass... So where am I?"
He stood up and nearly fell, he caught himself I'm a rock which was next to him, he felt so weak but his ghost came out and in a flash of light was better.
He could stand and as he did the sounds of footsteps where heard as he turned around and saw a woman standing there.
"Who are you?" Both asked at the same time.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen this newest chapter is done I hope you guys enjoyed it.
Now to clear up some questions you may be wondering yes Atheon would in fact have a shield, because let's face it if even the most basic low-level Minotaur has one no way in hell is the most powerful and important vex that is also a Minotaur based design is not going to have one. Which is why I call it her quantum shield, you can't see it but it's there and don't worry it does not have its same strength as it does within the vault of Glass it has about 1/100 of its true protective ability's.
Also for Tester going crazy, look the Vault of Glass is not meant for organic life forms to go into and no matter what you can say the sirens are no where near the same level as the vex. Comparing these two species is like comparing the size difference between a planet and a sun it's drastically different. So her losing her mind from integrating with one of the most DANGEROUS vex realms is no surprise, and also I stated a little bit why she could not handle it. And to close all debates, If YOUR guardian is told to stay clear and not dive into the Vault because you can lose your mind, then how is a siren which is weaker in ever aspect supposed to keep there sanity?
Now as for the end bit well I'm not going to spoil who this is just know that I have been planning this characters introduction into the story for a very long time and I hope you all enjoy what he will bring to the story.
Now without further to do this chapter is over and I will catch you guys next time.
DIO OUT!!!!!!
