∆∆∆∆
Honestly... Call me whatever you want' said Lucas
Very well... Commander...' said Whales with a pretty smile
Then suddenly the door in the meeting room burst open
Repair ship Vestal is the one who opens the door
Enterprise...' said Vestal with a dark aura
Ye-yes?' said Enterprise nervously because she never seen Vestal this angry before
Care to explain this?' said Vestal as she shows Enterprise broken bow
I-i can explain' said Enterprise nervously than before
Then you better explain yourself NOW' said Vestal as she gets more angry
Calm down Vestal don't be like that in front of commander' said Belfast
Wait we had a new commander? Where he is?' said Vestal
"He is in front of yo-"
Belfast sentence got cut after she realized Lucas is not here in the meeting room
Ehh??? Where did master go?' said Belfast
∆∆∆∆
Phew I somehow managed to escape the room, I never seen Vestal that angry before so I escaped before I got caught in the trouble' said Lucas
Lucas looks around the place noticing the place is already repaired like it's never been attack making Lucas surprise how efficient they are
He then walks around more a little bit and came across a beach where he sees the shipgirls having fun in the beach
He founds it quite adorable so he sits down and watch them
∆∆∆∆
Meanwhile at the Sakura Empire...
Shoukaku, Zuikaku, Ayanami, Prinz Eugen, and Z23 hasn't come back yet and the girls are getting worried
Same goes to the Iron Blood members especially Hipper, she is concerned about her sister getting captured by the enemy
Calm down Hipper nothing will happen if you continues to be like that's said Z1
How will I not be worried?! Eugen is my little sister of course I will be worried!' said Hipper
Well if they don't come back after a few more hours we will establish a rescue mission for them I already got the permission from Nagato-sama' said Takao
∆∆∆∆
After Vestal finishes lecturing Enterprise, Enterprise finally manage to get out of the meeting room, Enterprise was immediately met Belfast when she leave the room
Unicorn would like to have a word with you, I'll escort you with her' said Belfast
They then arrive at the beach where Lucas is
What are they doing?' said Enterprise as she sees the girls
I understand relaxation is quite important as well' said Belfast
We were just attack' said Enterprise
Then Unicorn ask for Belfast permission to let her play on the water and Belfast let her
After Unicorn got to the shore she turned around and was about to to invite Enterprise to join her but Unicorn suddenly points something beside Enterprise and Belfast
They were confused at first until someone talks beside the two of them
I cannot believe you didn't see me beside you guys this whole time' said Lucas
?! How long are you are there commander?' said Belfast and Enterprise
Don't mind me, continue your business' said Lucas as she watches the girls burry Hammann in the sand
And hey Enterprise I think Unicorn is calling you' said Lucas
I agree' said Belfast
∆∆∆∆
Meanwhile At Sakura Empire...
Hipper is still uncomfortable because her sister still hasn't came back yet and the night is approaching
Calm down Hipper as promise we will help you get your sister back, we'll go once our other members finish preparing and we'll attack once the sound is down' said Takao
∆∆∆∆
A hour has passed, the sun still up but a storm can be seen from a far and Lucas notices this
Well I suppose you guys need to go now a storm is coming' said Lucas
Then Belfast looks at the sky and sees a massive rain cloud
After confirming Lucas sentence Belfast immediately called Enterprise and Unicorn
How about you master? Aren't you coming with us?' said Belfast
I'm fine I'll go later, go now before the rain got you' said Lucas
∆∆∆∆
In the sea shore of the Azur Lane a man was standing still, drench in water from the rain, as if a statue the man was standing still and cannot be disrupted by the violent storm as if his waiting for something
Then finally the man moves
A distressed call said Lucas while looking at the ocean drenched in water
In a snap of a finger Lucas transforms and chooses the Arleigh Burke destroyer for the mission
The The distressed call also reach Azur Lane
Cleveland, Hammann, and Belfast were sent to aid the distress call
Enterprise who had her rigging broken but battle capable also participate the mission even though Belfast and the others insisted herm to go back
but In the end Enterprise persistence won
You really are persistent when it come to this Enterprise' said Lucas who suddenly appears beside them
When did mast- ah nevermind I should get used to master appearing out of nowhere' said Belfast
Well sorry about that, I heard a distress call has been received by the Azur Lane and I want to help' said Lucas
Well I suppose that's fine' said Belfast
I see something up ahead!' said Hammann suddenly
Siren here?!' said Cleveland as she ready to fire her main guns
No look closely! They've already gone through battle' said Enterprise
Are the ships sent that sent distress signal is fighting the sirens?' said Hammann
That means we have to hurry! But...In this storm we can't even scout properly we have to be careful' said Cleveland
Cover my flank' said Enterprise suddenly
Lucas just follows her, after a while of searching Enterprise and Lucas finds a ship that must've send the distress call
Enterprise got into the ships deck, searching for any survivors and after a while she finds two girls in the deck
Light Cruiser Ping Hai which is holding her injured sister Ning Hai
This outfit... She must be from the Dragon Empery' thought Enterprise
Don't worry I belong from the Azur Lane we tracked your distress signal... And this may seem not the time to ask but did you both defeat the Sirens here?' said Enterprise
Ping Hai nods as a response
Tell me what happened here' said Enterprise
We were being chased by sirens... We beat them all but my sister protected me...' said Ping Hai
Then suddenly Ning Hai wakes up
Ping Hai... Are you all right...?' Ning Hai said
Don't worry were here to save you, my companion will arrive shortly' said Enterprise
Then suddenly a destroyed siren ship starts moving it's main guns towards them
It's still moving?!' said Ping Hai
Run, Ping Hai...' said Ning Hai
No! This time I protecting big sister!' said Ping Hai
Enterprise then tried to draw it's attention into her away from the two sister
Over here!' said Enterprise
She successfully catches it's attention but now the sirens main guns is pointing towards her
Enterprise tried to finish the Siren but because of her broken rigging she was not capable at the moment
That stubborn little girl' said Lucas that is beside Ping Hai and Ning Hai
Using his speed Lucas dash towards Enterprise to protect her
The siren fires it's gun and it's shell is heading towards Enterprise with pin point accuracy
Fortunately Lucas shot off the shell just in time protecting Enterprise
Go and sink to the bottom of the sea you bastard!' said Lucas as he launch dozens of tomahawk missiles
The tomahawk missiles hit the siren ship and somehow one of the missile hit the magazine of the ship completely shredding the Siren into pieces of junk
Such power' said Ning Hai
Are you ok Enterprise?' said Lucas as he look at Enterprise
Th-thank you I'm fine commander' said Enterprise
Good to know and Enterprise...' said Lucas
Ye-yes?' said Enterprise
Next time don't push your self to much, you guys are like humans too each one of you has your own limitations and don't try to prove your self by pushing your limits or else you'll face your own demise. Take this event as an example' said Lucas with a mixture of worried and a bit of anger in his voice
Enterprise didn't respond and has a face of guilt in her face, she knows that Lucas is right and the fact that she felt a bit of anger and worried in Lucas voice while he is lecturing her make Enterprise feel more guilty
Master, Enterprise!' shout Belfast who's heading towards them
Are you ok master and Enterprise? We just heard a huge explosion from her-"
Belfast sentence was cut after seeing floating debris of Siren all over the place and the face of Enterprise who has guilt on it
It looks like Enterprise got lectured by Master' said Belfast while looking at Enterprise face
Let's go back to the base now before the storm got even worse' said Lucas
∆∆∆∆
After a while Lucas and the others arrive at the base and they didn't expect the first thing they'll hear once they arrive at the base is that they got attack
The Azur Lane Base got attacked more precisely the captured allies of Sakura Empire and Iron Blood got rescued
This is unexpected for the Azur Lane because they don't expect the Red Axis to rescue their companions in this kind of weather
They even destroyed the school of Azur Lane as some sort of revenge
After hearing this Lucas ask which way the Invaders leave and Whales Said they leave in South which is the opposite direction Lucas and the other come from after siding the distressed call
After hearing their direction Lucas rush to go outside
Wait where are you going commander? They're already so far away let them go we won't catch them!' said Whales
Who said I'm gonna catch up into them? I'll just gonna give them a warning' said Lucas while running
Whales and the others quickly follows Lucas even though it's raining outside
After a while they arrive at the same beach where Lucas previously is this afternoon
Even though it's already night and it's very dark and with the storm combine the visibility is very poor but this didn't stop Lucas
In a snap of a finger a Iowa Class Battleship suddenly appears in the sea shore broadside and it's guns facing the dark sea
Even though it seems impossible Lucas manage to find the enemy's location
Turret one, I want your left and right gun to elevate into 10 degree and fire on my command' said Lucas
He then pulled out a hand clock, there's a few moments of silent between the girls that are watching Lucas
Some of them knows that it's simply impossible to hit the target at that range and some are just watching carefully
Fire!' said Lucas finally
After that the left and right gun of fires letting out a big boom that echoes through the entire Azur Lane Base
Good now I want the remaining middle gun to fire at the same elevation' said Lucas
Lucas give the gun time to elevate and after it finish to elevate Lucas gave the command to fire
Why not the commander just fire his main guns all at once?' said Cleveland
Our commander uses a technique known as staggered fire, first the guns to the left and right fire and then the middle one to reduce dispersion
caused by interfering shockwaves thus improving the accuracy' said Whales
It looks like our commander is smarter than we thought' said Illustrious
Lucas was looking at his hand clock
Impact' said Lucas then suddenly a explosion from a far can be seen
Lucas successfully hit the target with such accuracy the other were simply too surprised to talk
Hitting an enemy at that range is such a feat only some could imagine to achieve not to mention the poor visibility cause by the storm even makes it more impossible
Second impact' said Lucas as he closes his hand clock and was heading back as another explosion can be seen from a far
Let's go back now, hopefully they take it as a warning and never mess with us again' said Lucas as he head back
∆∆∆∆
Hipper and the others POV...
What really happen Eugen? How do you guys got captured?' said Hipper
If you ask me I'll say we got away with sheer luck since their commander isn't there because they aid some sort of distress call but if they are not we are might as well captured' said Eugen
Eugen is serious so no one cares to reply back, there's a moment of silent then suddenly a sound can be heard
The sound is getting louder and louder by second
Before they even realised it a large explosion occurs in Eugen's deck disabling her main guns on the back of her Warship
Eugen cough blood from her injury, she felt like a blazing sword stab her in the back
Eugen!!!' said Hipper as she heads towards her injured sister
Enemy attack?!' said Z1
No impossible! We're too far away from them!' said Takao
And when they thought it was all over they heard another sound of like a heavy object heading towards them getting louder and louder
The thing hits Eugen once again but this time it hits her Engine room making her ship stops
Eugen screams in pain and coughs blood caused by her injury
The thing that hit Eugen is caused by Lucas 16-inch shell Armor-piercing shell that can cause extraordinary damage with a well placed shot
What the hell is happening?' said Hipper with tears in her eyes while holding her injured sister that has gone unconscious due to her injuries
