The same morning, inside mirror sea.
The shipgirls of the Sakura Empire were attacked by sirens, their own reinforcements. With most of them being seriously hurt, they're having a bad time. Some of them try to attract the sirens to attack them first in order to give the others enough time to run away.
"The others who still have spirits to fight need to hold on to the sirens!!", Souryuu cried out. "Give the others plenty of time to retreat!! ".
"What's going on here? ", asked Hiryuu. "The sirens seemed to have malfunction last night unexpectedly attacked us for no reason. Was it affected by the connection between Orochi? ".
"I don't know," Souryuu responded. "But, we're better think that later on. We've got more important things to do".
"How are the others, Atago? ".
"We're still trying to give priority to the wounded girls to retreat first! "Atago responded. "But the sirens are already targeting them!! ".
If they want to run, they're still stuck in the sea mirror with the exit tightly closed. No place to run or hide, they're trapped here forever until they've overcome the main boss.
"Get up, Yamashiro-chan," Fusou said. "We've got to move now."
"Hey, stupid sirens!! Your target is me! ", Haruna screamed as she attacked the sirens with full force. She releases a few barrages to the sirens to get their attention.
BOOM ... -BOOMM ...
The sirens stop for a moment but still continue to target the weakest. Haruna remains focused as she desperate to defeat the sirens before it's too late.
"This is a problem, but we can't give it up!! ", shouted Kongou. "Come on my sisters, show me your spirits!".
"As you wish, Kongou-neesan!!, shouted Haruna, Hiei and Kirishima.
They didn't stop attacking the sirens, however the efforts are futile as the sirens keep targeting the others.
"Yamashiro!!!!", shouted Fusou as she saw several bombs dropped at her.
Yamashiro close her eyes.
"................"
CRACK........CRACK........
CRACK....................
A sound liked windows broken creating a hole out of mirror sea
"Who is that?", shouted Hiryuu as she saw someone came out from the hole.
The outsider is powerless to support them when they are facing mirror sea. They should cannot intervene inside the mirror sea and can hope the others can solve that within their own power. Yet someone manages to break it.
SLASH...
BOOOM.....
The bombs were exploded after Kay slashed them instantly. After that, Kay jumped instantly to Souryuu 's ship and stabbed the sword. Then he activates the element and bursts out.
The aircraft collided with each other after they lost control, crushing them one by one until the sky was clear.
BOOM...
BOOM...
After a moment of peace in the sky, Kay takes this opportunity to look around. Looking at and analyzing the situation.
"Wait...you're the Azur Lane 's commander!", shouted Hiryuu. "What are you doing here?".
Hiryuu and Souryuu are staring at Kay and ready to attack him if he starts another move.
"..............."
"I think this is 'what you sow is what you reap', Sakura Empire", said Kay. "Dealing with unknown forces and now you faced the consequences of your actions".
"Well, let me finish them before they will caused me more problem later".
************************
Kay activates his watch and release several swords surrounding him. He takes the swords and throw them directly to the sirens.
Swosh...swosh.....swosh.....
Then, Kay unleashes his element towards the swords, making them suddenly accelerates and instantly slashing the sirens immediately.
BOOM.....BOOM...
"You already knew your aircraft are useless against me, sirens", said Kay. "So, why you still used the same tactic even though you knew the result will remained the same".
".........."
"I guess there is no high-class sirens here.......again."
Kay is looking at the black cats, Fusou and Yamashiro who are still confused.
"Now, can you get out from the sea for a moment, please?", asked Kay. "You're a hindrance for me to fight them".
............
"What are you going to do, Kay?", asked Takao. "You're the enemy's commander. The is no reason for you to help us".
"Don't take me wrong, I have no intention to help you", answered Kay. "I just do whatever I want here".
"Reducing the problems"
After Kay finished his sentences, he suddenly disappear from their sight.
"WHAT....Where is him?", asked Takao. "Everyone be careful, that man is very dangerous. Don't let your guard down".
"........."
Slash...slash.....
Slash...slash.....
Boom...Boom....
Suddenly some torpedoes that came toward them destroyed out of nowhere. They looked at the source and saw Kay slashing the torpedoes one at a time, constantly destroying them. Some of the shipgirls of the Sakura Empire could not match his speeds, as swift as lightning.
Slash.....Slash....
Boom....Boom...
"What a speed! Is he really a human? "Souryuu asked.
"Well, he told us he was genuinely a human," Takao said. "So, what are we going to do now? ".
Suddenly, they heard a loud noise screaming at them, telling them to kill that human being. They looked at the noise and saw that Kaga was really angry.
"What are you doing!!! Kill the human! "Kaga, who is seriously wounded, screamed. "Because of him, our mission has always failed."
"Akagi is still missing because of him!! ".
".............."
................
Slash....slash.....
Boom...boom....
"You're really persistent, but your effort is nothing to me," Kay said as he slashed the torpedoes and walked towards the sirens.
Then he jumps and immediately goes to the top of the sirens. He withdraw the sword and immediately stabbed the sirens in one attack.
"This is the end," Kay said as he stabbed the siren. "Now, goodbye! ".
STAB....
ZAPP...ZAPP
Several lightning bolts came out of the attack, targeting and destroying all the sirens in the vicinity. It was like chain attacks that linked with the other sirens, rendering them instantly destroyed.
BOOMM. BOOM. BOOM.
Some of them managed to escape, but it wasn't a problem for Kay, as he could easily target the leftover.
Just a few minutes later, all the sirens who attacked the fleet of the Sakura Empire were destroyed by Kay.
Then, Kay goes on top of the Souryuu 's ship, staring at the others girl. He is trying to thinks what is his next plan.
"Now the sirens already gone, so what I am going to do with you", said Kay. "You're still their enemies and capturing you all are a good choice".
"Tch.....How dare you look down on us, human", said Kaga.
"Just a white fox here....", said Kay as he looking at Kaga. "Where is your sister....nope, never mind. It's not my problem".
Kay takes the Zuikaku 's sword from the ship and jumps very high. Then, he activates his element and starts slashing using the sword.
Slash.....
CRACK.....
The hole becomes bigger and bigger after Kay manages to break it down. It's the only way out from the mirror sea.
"There is one way out here", said Kay as he pointed at the hole. "Now, I need you to get out from here quickly".
"This place cannot hold any longer".
"......!!!!"
"What do you mean by that? Why are you helping us out? ", Takao asked as she puzzled by Kay 's actions.
"I have another priority right now," Kay said. "With the others still missing, I've got to save them quickly."
"We have no intention of leaving this place," Kaga said. "We're going to defeat you here".
"If that's the case, now you've to chose ... either to leave or to face me," Kay said as he prepared his sword. "So, what is your answer, the Sakura Empire".
"Do you strong enough to defeat me?".
..............
"Now....now, Kaga. We already decided to leave, remember", said Souryuu. "We will leave, human. But don't take light of us, human. We will defeat you, next time".
"Soryuu!!! After you try to neglect Akagi!! Now you decide to run away!!", shouted Kaga.
Kay saw the Sakura Empire shipgirls argue with each others. Suddenly, he realizes something wrong and decides to ask them.
"Where are Zuikaku and Shoukaku?", asked Kay.
..............
No answer from them.
"I ask you, where are Zuikaku and Shoukaku?", asked Kay angrily.
******************
Several lightning surrounds Kay as he is little bit angry. He cannot control his emotion for a moment while waiting their answer about Shoukaku and Zuikaku.
"Where are them, Takao?", asked Kay angrily.
"Me!!.....Well, Zuikaku asked us to stay behind while the others retreat", answered Takao. "Since we already lost the sirens and Akagi still missing, Zuikaku volunteers to stay behind".
"And Shoukaku decides to follow her little sister".
..............
"And you allow her to that.....again?", asked Kay angrily. "Liked you do before this, constantly throwing her life just because you think that you're far superior than her".
"..........."
"After I save her from a blink of death, you easily throw her back".
"Who do you thing you're? For you, to decide her life?".
"............"
"ANSWER ME, SAKURA EMPIRE!!!!", shouted Kay.
Zapp...Zapp...
"How many times, you force her to do that?", asked Kay.
"She happily to stay, human", said Kaga. "You have no authority to mad at us, human. Know your place".
"And yeah, I have enough reason to kill you!!", said Kay. "Don't take me lightly, white fox. You're alive because of my kindness. Don't force me to broke the law".
"She is not strong as any of you thought. And now you just easily force her to do that!!".
".............."
"You know what, I have enough", said Kay. "Leave this place, before I change my mind".
Kay is remains calm, although the lightning keep sparking and surrounds him. He knew he doesn't have enough time to argue with them. He has to keep his priority straight. He needs to save the girls first quickly as the mirror sea cannot hold any longer. It's already broken from the inside.
Suddenly he hears a loud scream as someone shouting at them. An enemy aircraft coming towards them.
"Enemy aircraft incoming!!", shouted Haruna. "Everyone be careful!!".
Kay stares at the aircraft, he has no spirit to fight it and decides to leave it for someone.
Suddenly a bird come out of nowhere and attacking the aircraft. The bird surrounds itself with fire and starts shooting flames from its mouth.
BOOM...BOOM...
One by one the aircraft fell through out the sky. The Sakura Empire shipgirls watching it, speechless as they saw.
After their surrounding become somewhat calm, the bird decides to land on Kay 's shoulder.
"Find the others, quickly", ordered Kay.
The bird flies away after received the orders.
"Wait a minute....that bird is yours?", asked Takao. "So, that's mean you have been watching us this entirely time".
Kay ignores her and decides to leave. He needs to leave before he does something at them. He needs to calm down a little bit.
"Can you find Akagi for us?", asked Souryuu while Kaga against that idea. "We will become more grateful if you can still find Zuikaku and Shoukaku for us".
"................."
"I will do what I can", said Kay. "But, don't expect too much".
"That's more than enough", said Souryuu. "Thank you, human".
**********************
"Calm down, Enterprise!", shouted Prince of Wales. "Stop attacking us! We are your allies, remember? ".
Enterprise suddenly goes berserk, and continues to attack the others, and no longer remembers her allies. She's already going to strike in front of her sight without stopping.
"What are you doing, Grey Ghost," Zuikaku asked when engaging Enterprise. "Wake up from your dreams!!! ".
Klang.....klang.....klang...
Klang.....klang.....klang....
Zuikaku is attempting to attack Enterprise as she has no choice but to defeat her. For some reason, only she is capable of challenging Enterprise while the others are trying to support her.
"Support the girl from the Sakura Empire!! ", ordered Queen Elizabeth. "We've need to defeat Enterprise before it's too late right now! ".
"As you wish, your majesty!! ".
"What are we supposed to do, commander? We need your help to defeat Enterprise," Queen Elizabeth said in her mind.
Klang.....klang.....
".............Kill! Must defeat...everyone...!!!" said Enterprise.
Klang...klang....
Zuikaku is trying to defeat her, but Enterprise is far more superior than her as she can easily deflect all the attacks.
Enterprise takes her bow and unleashing the lightning arrow towards Zuikaku. With the distances are too close, Zuikaku can't avoid the attacks.
Zapp.....
"Zuikaku!!!", shouted Shoukaku.
"I'm still alright", said Zuikaku, she breathes heavily. "She is too strong.....Even his sword can't help me that much".
"No....it just....I'm too weak to use it".
Zuikaku looks at Enterprise, her eyes is glowing with yellow. The same color as Kay, when he is in the 'First Form'. Zuikaku doesn't give up, after all she knew the man she loves never gives up. No matter how much difficulties approach him.
However, she isn't Kay. Spirit is not enough to overcome Enterprise.
..............
..............
..............
"Zuikaku!!!".
"Zuikaku!!!!".
"ZUIKAKU!!!!!".
"...........!!!!".
Zuikaku wakes up as she faints for a moment after received several attacks from Enterprise. When she opens her eyes, she saw Enterprise is trying to finish her off. Zuikaku is too weak to move.
"Zuikaku!!!!".
"It's over!!", shouted Enterprise as she fires several lightning arrows toward Zuikaku.
.............
Zapp.....Zapp..
ZAPP......
Lightning shock wave surrounds Zuikaku just a mere seconds before the arrows reached her.
............
"You're late, Kay", said Zuikaku while crying. "You're so late......".
Kay is carrying her while Zuikaku used her remaining strength to hug him. Tears fell from her eyes as she is very scared.
"I'm very sorry", said Kay. "But don't worry...because I already here".
"I will definitely save you, Zuikaku".
Kay stares at Enterprise, trying to understand why she suddenly attacked her own teammates for no reason.
"Commander!!! Commander is here!!!".
"Please be careful, master!", said Belfast. "Enterprise lost herself".
"Yeah....I saw that coming, Belfast", said Kay. "But I don't think this is a big problem, right now".
"......!!!!".
The girls saw that the mirror sea cannot hold any longer. This place is already broken, making it far more dangerous than before. Kay needs to act fast before it's too late.
"Must.....kill....everyone....", said Enterprise while targeting Kay which still not moving even thought he saw Enterprise is trying to attack him.
Slash.....
"......!!!!!".
Ayanami suddenly slashed Enterprise 's back, making her fell a bit. However, that attack is not enough to make her flatter. She ready her bow and trying to unleash the attack.
.........
"That's enough, Enterprise", said Kay while moving towards Enterprise. "There is no reason for you to fight anymore".
"............Must....kill.....you...", said Enterprise.
TICK...
Kay touches Enterprise 's neck and activates his element, making her unconscious. Belfast and Ayanami manage to grab her before she sunk. Kay relieves a deep breath.
CRACK...CRACK.....
CRACK...CRACK.....
"Great.....Now, we have more problems to face", said Kay. "Hold tight, Zuikaku".
Kay ordered all the shipgirls in moves towards him. Queen Elizabeth is making sure everyone is here in order to avoid any problem.
"The place can't hold any longer, commander", said Wales. "We need to leave this place, now!!".
"But how?? I don't see any exit", said Queen Elizabeth.
They look at Kay that still carrying Zuikaku as he still standing and not moving even though this place is close to being destroy.
Suddenly, several lightning surrounds him. The lights are circling the area as he is trying to activates his element.
"Let me tell you"
"Enormous power come with huge responsibility"
"Yet people misused their powers to destroy each other"
"And, my Element can Destroy The World!!!".
" [Lightning Element, First Form]".
