Cafeteria of the Basilica, the morning after the party :

3rd P.O.V

The sun just got up, and yet, Charles could be seen in the cafeteria taking his breakfast with his wives and the Advisor-class Sirens since they were the first people awake.

Charles : So, did you enjoyed the party yesterday ?

Everyone : Yes.

Tester Beta : I got so much data from this evening. That will greatly help for researches concerning the future peace with humanity.

Omitter : What happened to Ironblood and the Northern Parliament ? They looked drunk as fuck yesterday.

Jean Bart : They challenged Satan in a drinking contest, only to fail miserably.

Algérie : They forgot that Satan is accustomed to drink liquors.

Littorio : He drink whiskey everyday after all.

Observer Alpha : That doesn't seem very healthy.

Observer Zero : How he didn't went into a coma because of how much alcohol he consumed is a mystery.

Richelieu : Pretty sure it's due to the fact he is immortal. After all, he managed to survive God-knows how many times my lance in his ass.

Omitter  : Excuse me, what the fuck ?

Saint Louis : Don't worry. This is normal.

Compiler : How is this normal ?

Émile Bertin : Richelieu always make sure that Satan doesn't try to "corrupt" Charles. Whatever that means.

Littorio : And it always end up with a lance in the hole in the back.

Observer Alpha/Compiler : 0_0

Observer Zero/Tester Beta : -_-

Purifier/Omitter : *wheezing Siren noises*

Jean Bart : Yeah... ma sœur is quite protective of Charles.

Observer Alpha : And you let her do this, Charles ?

Charles : You get used to it.

Tester Beta : Seems like casual manslaughtering to me.

Richelieu : *pouts* That's not true !

Everyone else, Charles included : Press X to doubt.

Richelieu was doing the anime crying while everyone laughed. Satan could be seen snickering at Richelieu's situation, happy that karma came.

However, that soon stopped as the alarm went off.

🚨 : EMERGENCY MEETING !!! EVERYONE GO TO THE CAFETERIA FOR REPORTING !!! I REPEAT EVERYONE GO TO THE CAFETERIA FOR REPORTING !!!

Those who were already in the cafeteria were wondering what's going on.

Émile Bertin : What's going on ?

Charles : Let's wait until everyone is here to discuss.

Everyone : Right !

(Timeskip given to you by Charles and Father reloading their MLG with religious intent)

Everyone from every faction were present in the now-crowded cafeteria to see the emergency.

Charles : So, who activated the emergency meeting button ?

Ash : That would be me.

Enterprise : Why ?

Ember : Ash, Cinder and I were patrolling until a huge Siren Fleet appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the Atlantic.

Queen Elizabeth : Really ?

Cinder : Yes. We even saw Arbiter there. Looks like she is waiting for something or someone.

Charles : ...Looks like it's time then.

Bismarck : Wait ! You know something about it, Charles ?

Charles : Observer Zero told me that Arbiter would soon appear in our world, forced by the Creator to attack us.

Observer Zero : I can confirm that.

Charles : But I wasn't expecting that it would be that soon.

Sovetskaya Rossiya : So, what should we do ?

Vittorio Veneto : Well, is she one of the Leader-class Sirens ?

Compiler : Yes, she is. So this means, she is one of the only Sirens that aren't following blindly the Creator.

Tester Beta : But even with that, we have to fight since she is forced to do it as well, but without killing her.

Charles : Then, let's prepare ourselves !

Everyone : Right !

So, everyone went to the harbor to see who is going to fight against Arbiter.

(Timeskip given to you by Ricardo Milos wearing clothes)

3rd P.O.V

In the middle of the sea, a group of people were dashing through the Atlantic Ocean. The group was composed of Charles, Clémenceau, Foch, Richelieu, Jean Bart, Littorio, as well as all the leader factions, the PR ships, the Advisor-class Sirens and Ash, Ember and Cinder. The rest stayed at the base in case of a Siren attack.

As they approached the place where Arbiter was sighted, Tester Beta stopped to say something important to the others.

Tester Beta : Before we're going further, I would like to tell you that there is a Mirror Sea just in front of us.

Foch : So this means Arbiter is waiting us inside.

Observer Alpha : Pretty much. Is everything ready for you all ?

Everyone : Yes !

Charles : Then, let's do this !

Everyone nodded before going forward into the Mirror Sea. As they entered it, they could see that the landscape was quite desolate. Ruins everywhere and a dark sky covered with menacing clouds were all they could see.

As they looked around, they got surprised by a voice.

??? : So we finally meet face to face, Charles.

As the voice finished its sentence, a white light engulf a part of the saw before revealing a big Siren feet. But what was standing out was a tall woman sat down in what seems to be a shark's jaw. Her rigging was huge. It could be bigger than Friedrich der Grosse's riggings.

Charles : So you are the one known as Arbiter.

Arbiter : Exactly. I am Arbiter, or my full name, Arbiter III : The Empress. And if I am here, then you know why.

Charles : You are here to fight us against your own will, right ?

Arbiter : *sighs* Sadly, yes. But before that, I want to thank for accepting the Advisor-class Sirens in Azur Lane. I couldn't bare to see them abused by the Creator.

Nagato : You should thank Omitter for that. If she didn't revealed the truth, who knows what could happen.

Arbiter : Well, that aside. It's time to start this fight. However, I would like to face Charles in a 1 versus 1, just like Omitter and Compiler did.

Charles : *thoughts*Why do I feel like every Siren wants to fight against me ?

Charles looked at the group to see what to do.

Richelieu : Go on. I know you can defeat her.

Clémenceau : Yeah, we'll take care of the Siren Fleet. Isn't that right ?

Bismarck : Leave this to us.

Omitter : Let's kill those enemies !

Roon : I shall agree with my Siren lookalike !

Monarch : You can count on us !

The rest nodded.

Charles : Guys... Merci. Good luck everyone.

Charles P.O.V

I saw everyone going to fight the enemy Sirens, while I looked back at Arbiter.

Charles : Well, even if we aren't supposed to kill each other, let's give it our all.

Arbiter : You stole the words right of my mouth.

Skill activation : Siren Killer X

Skill activation : God's Wrath

Skill activation : Divine Protection

Arbiter started by sending some drones on me. Those drones started shooting lasers at every direction. I decided to use my Panthers to destroy the drones.

My Panthers managed to destroy the drones, but the lasers they shooter managed to destroy my Panthers as well. This fight might be the hardest I got so far.

Charles : You might be my strongest opponent until now. I might need to go to the next level.

Arbiter : Show me what you got then !

Arbiter sent more drones and some Siren planes as well. Seeing this, Charles decided to launch a few more Panthers, that he had built whenever he had free time, while supporting them with his Giat cannons and missiles.

Meanwhile in the Siren World :

What Azur Lane and Arbiter didn't know us that someone else was watching the fight.
It was a Siren, but not any Siren.

That Siren was a male, he looked like the pervert that everybody knows and want dead. He was loathed, especially by a certain California lover. Even the Narrator and Author are actually insulting him right now. That Siren was none other than the Creator.

The Creator was right now watching the fight between Charles and Arbiter, hoping that Charles would lose and die against Arbiter.

Creator : MNF Charles de Gaulle... you don't know how much I hate you... You always ruin my plans to destroy the simulation you are in ! Why can't you die and let me make those girls my sex slaves ?!?!

He decided to look how is going the fight between the rest of the two forces. He was doing a poker face as he saw the rest of Azur Lane destroying the Sirens without much difficulty, despite Azur Lane being in number inferiority.

However, as he looked around the battlefield, he was surprised to see six Sirens that were fighting other Sirens. As he recognized them as the Advisor-class Sirens, the Creator started to get pissed off.

Creator : WHY ARE THOSE TRAITORS FIGHTING AGAINST MY SIRENS ?!?! THE HELL IS GOING ON ?!?!

It's safe to assume that the Creator was losing his temper. His anger levels were already above the anger level of the Angry German Kid. Imagine what would happen after what're will see at the end of the fight.

Back to Charles and Arbiter fighting :

Charles P.O.V

I just destroyed the Siren drones and planes sent by Arbiter. The launched Panthers were also destroyed, but it was time for to take the initiative.

Charles : Let's see what you can do against this.

I then decided to launch 2 Mirages against Arbiter. Seeing this, she decided to launch drones to destroy them. Luckily, my planes somehow managed to avoid getting hit, and I could destroy the drones with my Mistral missiles.

The Mirages managed to drop the bombs on Arbiter before coming back to me. The bombs exploded, damaging Arbiter in the process. But I saw that she managed to take the hits.

Charles : I'm impressed that you managed to get up after my Mirages drop their bombs.

Arbiter : I'm much more tougher than an Advisor-class, but I won't lie, it hurts quite a bit. Let's see how you will face this.

Arbiter prepared a cannon. It shot what looks like a tornado. Seeing this will be useless to launch planes or missiles as the tornado will most likely swallow them up and the speed at which it moves, I had no choice but take the hit.

I braced myself as the tornado hit me. But thanks to my skills, the damage I am taking were drastically decreased, leaving on me a few cuts. The tornado finally disappeared after what seems to be hours, while it was only lasting a minute.

Arbiter looks surprised to see I didn't took a lot of damage.

Arbiter : How tough are you ?

Charles : Oui.

Arbiter : I should have expected this from a ship coming from the future.

Charles : And now, it's my turn.

I launched a few Mirages and A-10 Warthogs on Arbiter.  Arbiter tried to defend herself by launching some planes but they were quickly destroyed by the A-10 Warthogs destroyed them, so the Mirage could drop the bombs on Arbiter, dealing heavy damage.

3rd P.O.V

As the smoke dissipated, Arbiter could be seen injured but still conscious. Charles was approaching her. She mustered the strength to look up.

Arbiter : So... you won...

Charles : Seems like it. You know what happens, right ?

Arbiter : ...

To her surprise, Charles give her his hand, expecting her to take it to stand up.

Arbiter : Why...?

Charles : We already know about your situation, and since you're one of the only non-brainwashed Sirens, I think you should join us.

Arbiter : ...You knew about it after all. In that case, I shall accept. *takes his hand and gets up*

Charles : Be careful, you are still injured because of me.

Arbiter : You shouldn't worry too much about that. I have a healing factor myself.

Charles : If you say so.

Meanwhile with the girls and the Clémenceau brothers :

The group has just finished destroying the Siren Fleet. They were accustomed to this thanks to the battles against Compiler and Omitter. They looked around to see how Charles is faring.

They noticed Charles coming in their way, with Arbiter trying to walk.

Charles : I'm back, guys.

Richelieu : Did you defeat her ?

Arbiter : He did defeated me.

Vittorio Veneto : Are you sure, because you don't seem to have injuries ?

Arbiter : I have a healing factor.

Everyone except Charles and the Sirens : Oh.

Charles : Also, she is going to join us in Azur Lane to face the Creator.

Queen Elizabeth : Really ?

Arbiter : Yeah. I'd rather not see the Creator ever again.

Meanwhile in the Siren World :

3rd P.O.V

At each minute passed, the Creator's anger was rising. Not only because Arbiter, one of the strongest Sirens, has been defeated. But also, because said Siren decided to join Azur Lane alongside the Advisor-class Sirens.

It was safe to assume that the Creator was really angry.

Creator : WHY DID THEY BETRAY ME ?!?! I GAVE THEM POWER AND THEY REPAY BE BACKSTABBING ME ?!?! FUCKING BITCHES, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU ALL DIE !!!

He was so angry that he decided to teleport directly to where Charles's group was.

Back to Arbiter's Mirror Sea :

3rd P.O.V

As everyone was ready to leave the Mirror Sea, a tremor has started before a fissure appeared in the sky. From the fissure, a figure could be seen.

They looked at the sky to see a Siren, but that Siren was a male and he looked very angry. The Sirens were looking at the figure with disgust. Charles, Clémenceau, and Foch did the same. From the stalker orb, God and Satan also did the same. Even the readers are doing it. As the Siren who appeared was none other than the Creator himself.

Creator : HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME, ARBITER ?! IS THAT HOW YOU REPAY ME FOR GIVING YOU POWER ?!

Arbiter : Are you joking ?! You were abusing every one of us because we failed one single task ! Of course we would leave !

He decided to look at Charles.

Creator : AND YOU ! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY EVERYTHING I DO IS FAILING !!! AND SINCE I AM SURROUNDED BY RETARDS, I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF !!!

Charles : You know. I was curious why the first time I saw your face, I wanted to kill you. Guess I have my answer.

Creator : GRRRRRRR !!! I'LL MAKE SURE YOUR DEATH SHALL BE PAINFUL !!!

The Creator used some Siren planes directly on Charles. But Charles countered by launching a few A-10 Warthogs. Charles managed to destroy them all, but the drones also managed to destroy a few A-10 Warthogs.

Seeing the Creator being entirely focused on Charles, the group decided to attack him at the same time to damage him with salvoes, torpedoes, fighters and bombers. But however, the Creator knew it would happen.

Creator : HA !!! YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK ON ME !!! THINK AGAIN, FOOLS !!!

Skill activation : Impenetrable Darkness

Negates the skills of all enemy ships present on the battlefield.

(A/N : I'm pretty sure a skill like that would be broken in Azur Lane if it ever existed.

If it was the case, then goodbye Enterprise's Lucky E ; goodbye Warspite's Divine Marskman+ ; goodbye all support skills.)

The group was horrified to see their combined attack was nullified just like that. Charles, on his side, now knows the Creator's power is no joke. The only chance he would have is to use raw strength while not counting on his skills and use its resources wisely.

The Creator got his focus back on Charles. The Creator decided to launch some lasers. Despite his skills being nullified, Charles managed to avoid the lasers. However, Charles isn't able to charge a powerful air strike because the Creator doesn't give him a little bit of time to do one, and can instead only defend by launching Panthers and A-10 Warthogs to counter the Creator's planes and drones.

After a few minutes, the Creator had enough of Charle evading all of his attacks. He decided to end this once and for all.

Charles P.O.V

I managed to somehow avoid all of his attacks, but as I looked at him, he was even more angrier.

Creator : I HAVE ENOUGH OF YOU !!! JUST DIE ALREADY !!!

He was charging a huge laser attack. I was preparing myself to avoid the attack until I see him smirking. As he was smirking, his cannons were aiming somewhere else. I looked to see he was trying to aim his attack on Richelieu.

Oh no ! He dares trying this ! I decided to dash at Richelieu, still shocked by the fact their attack has been nullified, just like everyone else, to push her out of danger.

I managed to get to Richelieu, who I pushed her off the way to prevent her from taking huge damage from the lasers. As I looked around, I was horrified to see that the attack was just in front of me. I couldn't deploy in time my shields as the laser hit me. My skills couldn't protect me either.

Richelieu P.O.V

I was still in shock as our attacks were completely nullifed. I only got out of my thoughts as I got pushed away. As I looked to see who did that, I saw huge laser that had been fired to where I was a few seconds ago,

I was relieved to see that I avoided this attack. But as the attack dissipated, my horrors came back as I saw that someone took the hit. I approached and my horrors were doubled as I saw it was Charles.

I could feel tears starting to fall as I cried.

Richelieu : MON AMOUR !!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

Jean Bart P.O.V

I was still in a shock state until I got back to my mind by hearing my sister shouting.

Richelieu : MON AMOUR !!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

I immediately dashed to where my sister was, thinking the worse happened. And my fears were becoming reality as I saw my husband very badly injured. He was bleeding a lot. I widen my eyes before looking at the Creator with fury in my eyes, while he was laughing.

Creator : HAHAHAHA !!! FINALLY ! THAT SHITTY CHARLES IS DEAD !!! HE WILL NO LONGER BE IN MY WAY !!!

I was ready to launch another salvo until I remember that it will be useless because of his skill.

3rd P.O.V

The Creator decided to charge another attack on the rest, but was directly interrupted as several smokescreens were launched on him. They were launched by Queen Elizabeth, Bismarck and Arbiter.

Arbiter : To every Advisor-class Sirens, bring together in a group to create a portal that will teleport outside of this Mirror Sea to the Azur Lane base.

All the Advisor-class Sirens went readying the portal while everyone else grouped with them. They did it quickly and they all managed to leave in the portal with Charles, being carried by Richelieu.

As the smoke dissipated, the Creator saw that everyone left which irritated him once again.

Creator : DAMN YOU ALL !!! BUT YOU WON'T WIN BECAUSE CHARLES IS DEAD !!! HAHAHAHA !!!

He decided to go back to the Siren World to dance in his room to celebrate Charles's death.

(Timeskip given to you by Charles and Father chasing Son because he read heresy)

Medbay of the Basilica :

3rd P.O.V

Two girls were resting peacefully in the medbay, it was Akashi and Vestal. That was until a portal appeared out of nowhere. Both girls were freaking out as a white light blinded them.

When they opened their eyes, they saw Charles's group and Arbiter who appeared. As Bestal was gonna ask what's going on, Richelieu talked first.

Richelieu : *crying* Please heal Charles ! He is in danger right now !

Vestal looked to see Charles in a very bad state. She widened her eyes before becoming serious.

Vestal : Akashi and I will try our best to save him ! Please, wait outside while we start operations !

Akashi : Leave it to us, nya~ !

Richelieu put Charles's on a opeartion table before she leaves with everyone else to let them work.

(Timeskip given to you by Chuck Norris and John Wick shaking hands as they acknowledge each other as legends)

3rd P.O.V

Everyone was waiting outside the operation room. They were all stressed and hoping Charles would survive.

As they were waiting, they heard footsteps and looked to see God and Satan.

God : What's going on ?

Enterprise : Charles has been greatly injured by the Creator.

Satan : So it happened...

Richelieu : WAIT ?! YOU KNEW ?!

Jean Bart : Calm down, sœurette.

God : We can see the future and saw what would happen, so we both went investigating to see if there's a way to save him.

Saint Louis : Is there one ?

Satan : Yeah, but only one way, and I'm not sure you will approve.

Émile Bertin : How ?

Satan : By injecting Siren blood in him.

Everyone : WHHAAAATTTTTT ?!?!

God : The reason why is due to its powerful healing factor, but the Siren Blood injected in him would also turn him into a Siren, hence why you might not approve of this.

Richelieu : ...Do it !

Satan : What ?

Richelieu : I gave you my approval ! So do it !

Satan : Despite the fact that he will turn into a Siren ?

Richelieu : It doesn't matter that he will be turned into a Siren, Charles is my husband and he will always it, no matter what.

Jean Bart : I couldn't said it better myself, ma sœur.

God and Satan both looked at the rest of his wives who nodded to give their approval as well.

Bismarck : You have their approval, but where do we get the Siren blood ?

Arbiter : I'll do it !

Nagato : Wait are you sure ? You were quite beaten by Charles after all.

Arbiter : Yes. I never anticipated that the Creator would show up to do this. I feel partly responsible for his state. I feel like doing this would make me repent for this error.

Queen Elizabeth : No. you have nothing to reproach. Absolutely no one could have known.

Tester Beta : My calculations couldn't predict that either.

Vestal : So, if you want to do this, we need to it right now !

Everyone was so busy that they didn't noticed Vestal getting out of the room.

Vestal : His state is still critical due to blood loss ! Hurry up, Arbiter ! God and Satan, come as well to bring her in a bed since she might pass out of exhaustion after the fight she has been through !

Arbiter/God/Satan : Right !

Vestal P.O.V

Once the mentioned people got inside, I started taking some blood from Arbiter with a syringe before I went to Charles to inject it in his system. As soon as I finished putting the extracted blood in his body, it started changing.

His hair became white while a black and cyan armor replaced the clothes. I looked on the machines to see his state. I got relieved to see that his heartbeat and pulse became stable, but he is still weak right now, so he will need to rest for a while.

I looked to see that Arbiter passed out of exhaustion but God and Satan already put her in another bed, while Akashi is taking care of her. Seeing that, I decided to tell the news.

3rd P.O.V

Everyone was waiting for Vestal's return. It took only 10 minutes before Vestal came back. They were waiting for her report.

Vestal : I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first ?

Richelieu : The good news !

Vestal : Then, I can announce to you that Charles's condition is stabilized and he will survive.

Littorio : What about the bad news ?

Vestal : Despite he has survived, he is still weak right now and might not wake up before a while.

Observer Zero : What about Arbiter ?

Vestal : She is okay as well. She passed out of exhaustion and is resting right now. Akashi is taking care of her as I am speaking.

Compiler : Alright.

Champagne : Is there a possibility to see him right now ?

Vestal : I'm afraid you cannot visit him right now, as I still need to do some exams about his condition.

Gascogne : Understandable.

After a few minutes, everyone got back to their dorms while Vestal continue checking up on Charles.

But when Charles will wake up again, he will seize the control of destiny and fate to put an end once and for all to the Creator.

(A/N) : And that's it for chapter 28. I hope you have enjoyed it. Feel free to leave your feedback and opinion in the comments.
