POV FIRST PERSON

After this attack, we met at the command office to discuss this unforeseen attack.

Wales: This time they were not caught off guard.

Me: You are absolutely right, I had seen that there are not many guard ships at the base.

Cleveland: Well actually Zumwalt, the base has just been opened, so the assets at this base are few, the ships that will be here are still on their way.

Me: I understand, by the way. What about Enterprise?

Wales: Enterprise? Well, Cleveland, what about Enterprise?

Cleveland: According to her, she would be arriving tomorrow, because she had to tow Georgia and its escort fleet to its central base, they were ambushed by the siren, due to this delayed arrival.

Wales: I understand. But even so, I did not expect them to strike the first blow

Illustrious: That they make an alliance with Iron Blood is not a surprise.

PoW: I wonder if they know how dangerous it is to use siren technology.

Illustrious: The Royal Navy forces will also be here in no time, they won't catch us off guard again.

Me: I wonder if we should install AA batteries in the base?

PoW: We can't, we don't have the staff to handle them.

ME: I understand.

Illustrious: However, the Allied ships will be here shortly.

Wales: Yeah, they won't take us off guard anymore.

Me: Yes, we won't fall for that anymore.

Wales: By the way, I appreciate your help in repelling the first division.

Me: No problem, I just do my job.

Wales: No, without your help, for sure there would be a lot more damage or some death.

I understand. That sure would be something I want to happen.

Wales: Well, we end this session for now, I need to file the documents and also time to process what just happened.

All: We understand.

Illustrious: Well girls, how about you help repair ships and base damage?

Me: (uncomfortable) Well, I think we helped.

Cleveland: Well, I have light damage to my main turret, I'm going to repair it.

TIME SKIP POV THIRD PERSON

The base is somewhat destroyed in some places, due to the intervention of the destroyer Zumwalt the most damage and luckily most of the ships were not damaged.

Cleveland is now at the docks dismantling her main turret to do the respective inspections.

Cleveland: (Sighing) It's worse than I thought, the siren rocket, pierced through the mount's armor, (sigh) I think I was overconfident watching Zumwalt fight so confidently.

San Diego: (Shouts crying) My ship!

The San Diego ship, the self-proclaimed "base's most popular idol," is on fire and half sinking.

Cleveland: (Looking at Sandy's ship) At least I wish Vestal were here.

Cleveland continued with the work of continuing to repair her damage to her ship.

RED AXIS FLEET FIRST DIVISION OF CARRIERS 5 DAYS LATER

On Akagi's deck, Akagi and Kaga eat some snacks that Akashi had prepared in advance.

Akagi: Yes, that cruiser has an antiaircraft capability from another world.

Kaga: Yes, that cruiser is a threat to an aircraft carrier, we should deal with it with a battleship or heavy cruiser.

At that Kaga looks up and makes a gesture of displeasure and makes a jump and is on guard.

??: ~ Ara ~ I hope I don't interrupt something.

Kaga: (somewhat annoyed) You.

The shot shows Prinz Eugen sitting on the antenna of the aircraft carrier Akagi.

Eugen: Hey, don't look at me like that. Aren't we allies?

Then Eugen stands up and does a pirouette and lands gracefully on the deck.

Eugen: Right Akagi?

Akagi: Yes, we have the same ideal, everything we do is for Red Axis.

Eugen: It's impressive how you control the siren ships. Is it an achievement for that project of yours?

Akagi: Everything is thanks to the will of heaven.

Eugen: (grabs a dango) That said, you're not being too cautious, you could just go and completely smash that base.

Akagi: Not that, although he planned to destroy a large part of the base, there was interference thanks to a certain new ship.

Eugen: Oh? That ship Z23 told me about, a heavy cruiser, right?

Akagi: Yes, her anti-aircraft power is a threat, an aircraft carrier could not defeat her.

Eugen: (Eating a dango) So a heavy cruiser or a battleship would be enough, right?

At that Akagi receives a communication from the fifth division.

Zuikaku: [Sempai, we have found a separate group]

Kaga: As reported by Ayanami.

Akagi: Then you have to harass them a little more. Can you handle them Fifth Division? It may be a bit immature to remind them that this is not difficult, right?

Zuikaku: (uncomfortable) [Understood]

Akagi: I ask you Prinz Eugen, famous Warrior of the Iron Blood.

Kaga: The fifth group found some leftovers, there is no reason to let them go.

Akagi: I am very ashamed to admit it, but I am very worried about my Kohai, if you watched them I would be calmer.

Eugen: Okay, I'll be with Z23 and I'll take Ayanami from your fleet.

Akagi: Yes, I will be very grateful if they showed us their strength.

Seas adjacent to Eagle Union.

An aircraft carrier is stopped at sea, a group of dauntless bombers do their training maneuvers, on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier a woman with silver hair and her captain's clothes, she looks at the sky and sees the maneuvers of her planes, a Flying eagle lands on her arm, behind her Vestal approaches.

Vestal: Enterprise, I'm done with the repairs, sorry for my slight delay.

Enterprise: No problem, I know how hard you are trying to keep me in good shape.

Vestal: be careful, if I see you with a simple abrasion mark, I'll kill you, do you understand?

Enterprise: Yes, I have it, but don't blame me for having a wound, after all I am a weapon, the damages are part of the trade, don't blame me.

Vestal: Just stay safe.

Enterprise: I will.

Vestal: Well, I have to do some business, after all your escort fleet I have to repair, Remember do not be reckless! You don't have an escort!

Enterprise: (Uncomfortable Sweat) Yes, I will not be reckless.

Vestal: see you later.

Enterprise: (Smiles) Yes, see you later.

Vestal gets off the aircraft carrier and summons her ship and sets sail in the opposite direction, Enterprise sets sail and heads towards the Pearl Harbor base at 20 knots, she was not in a hurry because the news of the attack ended in being able to repel the enemy attack.

WATERS ADJACENT TO AZUR LANE THE NEXT DAY

A Hornet-led fleet sails in the direction of the multinational base, in the formation there is a destroyer that breaks the formation and sails ahead and away from the fleet.

Hornet: Hey Hamman! Don't break formation! You are forcing your boilers a lot!

Helena: Hamman calm down, it's dangerous for you to force your boilers.

Hamman: This is no time to be calm! The base could be in danger!

Arizona: The enemy has already been repelled, there is no need to rush.

Hamman: You have to hurry!

Hamman increases speed.

Helena: Yes she has been frantic since yesterday.

Hornet: (laughs) Every now and then I envy her excess energy.

Long Island: Hornet I'm getting tired.

Hornet: That happens to you for being lazy (sigh) God and thinking that a few years ago you were a very recognized aircraft carrier, hey, aren't you ashamed of being in those looks?

Long Island: Don't bother me!

Arizona: Yes, they are animated, by the way, I have heard that the new one scared them.

Helena: The new one?

Hornet: Oh? Her, the cruise?

Arizona: Yes, according to the report that Helena received, the AA power of that boat is very destructive, it shot down the zeroes of the first division like flies.

Helena: Oh? Surely I would like to see that ship.

Hamman: What's up with that idle talk! The enemy can attack us at any time!

Hornet: But hey, Hamman has a point, we should pick up the pace.

CLING! Helena detects something on the radar.

Helena: Girls I detect two ships sailing towards our direction!

Hornet: Those ships, it is the Sakura empire. All combat arrangement! Hornet and Long Island launch your interceptors and bombers, Arizona, Helena, suppressing fire, we'll pass you by!

All: Yes!

Hornet sends an SOS code to the base.

FIFTH DIVISION OF SAKURA EMPIRE CARRIERS.

On the forward flight deck Shokaku is sitting a little in distress.

Shokaku: How unfortunate of mine, to be intimidated by our evil superiors, don't you think so, Zuikaku?

Standing in the bow of her ship, Zuikaku answers her sister.

Zuikaku: Sister, could you take it seriously? We can show those old ladies in the first division how good we are

Shokaku: Damn, you're a very direct girl, don't worry, your older sister supports you.

Zuikaku: (draws her sword) That's right! If you are here there is nothing to fear!

Zuikaku is covered in fire and her ship shines ...

AZUR LANE COMMAND OFFICE BASE

Everyone had already been notified that the Hornet fleet is under attack.

PoW: What? Hornet's fleet under attack? What ship is there to move?

Illustrious: (opens the door) Wales! Zumwalt, Cleveland, Javelin, and Laffey have gone to rescue the fleet!

PoW: What? How do you plan to fight? Oh? If it's Zumwalt, they might have a bit of an advantage against the fifth division.

AT SEA

The four girls head towards the coordinates of Hornet's fleet.

Cleveland: Hey! What's the plan?

Me: We will go, I will use my AA fire to clear the sky, Cleveland, Laffey and Javelin, they should attack any maritime threat, sink the siren ships if there is one and try to capture the fifth division.

Cleveland: I understand.

POV THIRD PERSON.

Enterprise arrived on the battlefield after 20 minutes and sees her little sister dodging the bombs from the zuikaku and Shokaku planes, the rest are knocked out, Enterprise summons her rig and launches her F4F Wildcat interceptors against Zuikaku, but Zuikaku sees them planes and use her sword to cut their bullets.

Hornet: Sister!

Enterprise: Retire!

Hornet: Thank you sister.

Enterprise: I'll buy you some time.

Hornet runs to pick up her injured friends, Enterprise draws her bow to fire other interceptors.

Zuikaku: Gray Ghost! A worthy opponent!

Zuikaku lunges at Enterprise and tries to cut her, but Enterprise stops her with her bow, many sparks fly from the impact.

Zuikaku: The Most Powerful Aircraft Carrier in the Eagle Union! ENTERPRISE! This is a duel!

Enterprise uses her strength to repel Zuikaku's attack by pushing her back a few steps.

At the same time the rescue fleet arrives in the field

Cleveland: (raises her hand) Hornet! We came to help!

Hornet: (smiles) What a good timing! I thought I would die.

Hornet approaches and falls, but Cleveland catches her before falling.

Cleveland: Woa! Let me get my ship out!

Me: watch out! Evasive maneuvers!

Out of nowhere a fleet of siren ships emerge from the portals that were formed out of nowhere.

Prinz Eugen: ¡FIRE!

Prinz Eugen fires her main guns aiming at Cleveland, luckily everyone dodges the attack, Prinz Eugen's AP shells land in the water.

Cleveland: What the hell?

Multiple vortices had appeared, out of which came mass-produced siren ships and Iron Blood ships.

Prinz Eugen: Guten Tag Azur Lane, leave us out of the fun.

Destroyer Z23 comes out to the front of the formation.

Hornet: ¿Iron Blood?

Prinz Eugen: Can you handle them?

Z23: Yes, I will, I am the destroyer of Iron Blood Z23, you will be defeated here.

Me: Change of plans, Cleveland retreat and take with you the fleet of Hornet, Laffey, Javelin Escort her.

Javelin: (worried) What about you?

Me: (Confident smile) Don't worry, I wouldn't lose against them.

Prinz Eugen: (looking at everything) Ohhh? Well, she does underestimate us.

All: Received!

Cleveland summons her ship and all members of Hornet's fleet climb aboard and leave the battlefield.

Z23: Will you act as bait? A very honorable act, let me praise you, you sacrifice yourself for your comrades, you deserve my respect. But remember, we are more and you are only one.

Me: (provocative tone) Ohhh? I had thought that we would do a one-on-one duel (Mischievous look) Are not Iron Blood chivalrous? (Draws her sword)

Z23: Will you fight with a sword?

Prinz Eugen: Ohh? Are you a ship without weapons? ~ How pathetic ~.

Me: (Points her sword at Prinz Eugen) Don't worry old lady, when I'm done with those stupid assholes, you follow.

Eugen: (Annoyed) What did you say !?

Me: Before we begin though, due to that pesky Geneva convention, I will warn you properly: (Mischievous tone) Iron Blood forces stand down! Otherwise I will open fire on you.

(NT: who don't understand anything, she says it to annoy Iron Blood)

Z23: Are you teasing !? We are in war!

Zumwalt: (laughs) Well let's get the party started.

BASE AZUR LANE OFFICE OF THE COMMANDER.

In the Prince of Wales office, Illustrious, London and other girls are gathered, then the phone rings and Prince of Wales answers.

PoW: This is Azur Lane's central command.

???: [Wales has spent time]

PoW: Your Majesty !?

Queen Elisabeth: [Your wait is over, I Queen Elisabeth and my noble fleet have arrived.]

PoW: Thank you, your majesty, our allies are under attack.

Queen Elisabeth: I am aware of that, I have already moved my chips.

In the middle of the ocean, a girl who dresses as a maid cuts the ocean at maximum speed.

Returning to the fight.

Enterprise shoots her arrows at Zuikaku and Zuikaku blocks them with great skill.

Zuikaku: Not on my guard!

Zuikaku tries to cut Enterprise, but she blocks it with her bow.

Zuikaku: I'm not done yet!

Zuikaku continues to launch flurry attacks with her sword, while Enterprise just blocks them without difficulty.

Zuikaku: It's all you have Gray Ghost!

Zuikaku keeps launching her attacks and Enterprise blocks them without problems, then Enterprise makes a feint like she trips and falls on her back, Zuikaku falls on the feint.

Zuikaku: You are mine!

Zuikaku prepares her coup de grace, raising her sword.

Shokaku:  Don't do it Zuikaku!

Shokaku had realized Enterprise's intentions and alerted her sister, Zuikaku when she realized, Enterprise was already aiming her bow at her and released the arrow

Enterprise: (Smiling) You are naive.

Zuikaku miraculously reacts on time and deflects the attack with her sword, the shot was not a bullet, the arrow transforms into a Dauntless loaded with 3 bombs, this plane turns and drops its 3 bombs against Zuikaku and Enterprise.

Zuikaku: Is she crazy?

BOOOOOOMMM!

An explosion reverberates in the sea.

Shokaku: (Worry) ¡ Zuikaku!

The column of water that formed settles down and she sees a somewhat injured Zuikaku escaping, but Enterprise throws a spinning kick to Zuikaku's side, sending her flying several meters to finally land headfirst into the sea.

Zuikaku with problems manages to stand up, she is very hurt.

Zuikaku: How incredible.

Enterprise: (points her bow at her) It is your recklessness to seek a fight with the wrong people.

Shokaku sends her planes to create an opening to take out her little sister, but they are shot down by the Enterprise Wildcat, the Wildcat fighters shoot at Shokaku, but she dodges with great skill.

Shokaku: Damn.

On the other side of the battlefield, Z23 fires her cannons and Zumwalt repels them with her sword and then counterattacks with it and Z23 dodges with some difficulty.

Z23: Not bad.

Zumwalt doesn't answer, but smiles at Z23's assertion, Z23 fires her torpedoes and Zumwalt dodges with ease.

Z23: (God is very agile)

Zumwalt: (It's good, at this rate, if I don't use my cannons, I won't be able to hit her. Can I use the CIGS on her?)

Without giving any more thought to the matter Zumwalt decides to use the CIGS against Z23, after all, it is a naval gun comparable to the Otomelara of Italy, by deploying these cannons for anti-missile, anti-aircraft and anti-surface use, it surprises Z23.

Z23: Hidden weapons !?

Eugen: (Surprised) Ohh? So it has hidden cannons, I wonder if it has more.

Me: Last chance! Gives up?

Z23: Don't screw me! Fleet siren open fire!

The siren battleships point their guns at Zumwalt and fire.

Me: Damn!

Zumwalt jumps to the side and the energy projectiles strike where she was standing second behind.

Me: Hey that's cheating!

Z23: This is war! Anything goes! The ideals of the Royal Navy that you are used to do not work in these situations!

Me: (sinister tone) Ahhhh? What did you say? Did you tell me I'm from the Royal Navy?

Z23: (Swallows her saliva and steps back and speaks unsure) Huh? Bu — well yeah.

Me: (sinister tone) I see, for your information I'm from Eagle Union.

¡BAM! ¡AAHHHGGG!

A 57mm CIGS shot opened fire and the high explosive shell struck Z23, knocking it out with a single shot.

Eugen: Z23! Damned! The entire fleet fire!

The siren ships aim and open fire on Zumwalt, she dodges the projectiles and turns on her electronic warfare antenna, their function is to prevent them from being able to point her with radar assistance and cut the command point.

Me: (I'll prepare the AGS, I don't think my 57mm shells pierce the armor of a battleship)

The 155mm guns deploy, and open fire.

¡Bam! ¡Bam! ¡Bam!

AGS shells with destructive power comparable to the Iowa's 16-inch guns strike siren battleships, pierce their armor, and release their destructive power within them.

Eugen: (Shock) That's impossible!

Prinz Eugen watches in shock as her siren battleships are now sinking and this was only caused by a ship.

Eugen: What destructive power, its lack of fire, is far superior to any ship of its kind.

Me: (confident tone) That's normal, then I'm the successor to the battleships. (Sinister tone) I recommend you take your friend and get off as fast as you can Before I change my mind.

Zumwalt's voice is so penetrating that Eugen for a moment saw a demon behind Zumwalt.

Eugen: (Tone somewhat scared) Yes.

Eugen charges Z23 and then retreats.

Enterprise continues to fight against a Zuikaku who is very injured, Shokaku looks for an opportunity to get her little sister, but the interceptors of  Enterprise block her way.

Shokaku: Zuikaku! WITHDRAW!

Shokaku is very worried about Zuikaku, but Zuikaku is determined to hit her, even once.

Enterprise: (authoritative voice and points her bow towards Zuikaku) Last chance, Retreat or surrender.

Zuikaku: Even if it's a hit.

Enterprise: Then it's over.

Enterprise draws her bow and shoots her arrow, the arrow is directed at a wounded Zuikaku that can barely move, a miracle happened, a Mitsubishi A6M Zero managed to infiltrate and crashed against the arrow of Enterprise causing the arrow to miss its target, Shokaku she saw her chance and grabs Zuikaku and drags her off the battlefield.

Shokaku: (annoyed) Silly! I told you to stand down!

Zuikaku loses consciousness after hearing Shokaku's reprimand.

Enterprise: (Sails to Zumwalt) Thank you very much for helping to repel the enemy, this is Enterprise, Yorktown-class aircraft carrier, a pleasure.

Me: Nice to meet you, I'm USS Zumwalt, Zumwalt-class destroyer, nice to meet Commander Enterprise.

Enterprise: (blushes) Please just call me Enterprise, they all do, by the way. Are you the new rumored rookie?

Me: Well I can say yes.

Enterprise: I see (Looking analytically at Zumwalt) Yes, your equipment is something unique.

Me: (Giggle) Everyone has told me the same thing, (Serenades) Well, I don't think I can let it go.

Enterprise: Is something wrong?

The guided missile destroyer had detected a ship a long time ago approaching its position, it had ignored it until now because it posed no real threat, but it can no longer turn a blind eye.

Me: [This is the DDG-1000 destroyer, an unidentified ship sailing 10km from our position, identify yourself or alter your course, if you omit these orders you will be the target of defensive maneuvers.]

The woman dressed as a maid receives Zumwalt's warning and decides to identify herself.

Belfast: [I am Belfast, Edinburgh class light cruiser, I belong to the Royal Navy Maid Corps, I am here as reinforcement].

Me: [Bad news, Its late, we just repelled the enemy attack.]

Belfast: [Oh, am I done?]

Enterprise: Royal Navy is here?

Enterprise: [This is Enterprise of the Eagle Union, Welcome girls of the Royal Navy, surely you have questions, after anchoring in port let's talk in the office.

Belfast: [I understand, I will pass your message to the queen]

Enterprise: Well, let's go back.

Me: Yes, let's go back.

Then the two ships set sail for Pearl Harbor.
