Harbor of New York City :

3rd P.O.V

The second group of the coalition between Ironblood and the Eagle Union has heard about the success from the first group as well as the coalition between the Royal Navy and the former Iris Libre.

And now, it was the turn of Essex's group to do their part for the operation by taking back the zones near the Eagle Union's coasts and the Caribbean Sea.

Essex : Well, girls ! The first two groups has succeeded in their mission. And now, it is our turn to do the job ! Are you ready ?

Everyone else in the group : YES !!!/ JAWOHL !!!

Essex : Then, let's get going !

The group left the harbor of New York City. The group has the following girls in it.

Aircraft Carriers : Essex, Shangri-La, Bunker Hill, Intrepid, Graf Zeppelin, Compiler and Cinder (Ark Royal META).

Battleships/Battlecruisers : South Dakota, Massachusetts, Alabama, Scharnhorst and Gneiseneau.

Heavy Cruisers : Admiral Hipper and Prinz Eugen.

Light Cruisers : Cleveland, Denver, Columbia, Montpelier, Birmingham and Biloxi

Destroyers : Cooper, Gridley, Craven, Z18, Z19, Z20 and Z21

Essex P.O.V

So, our part of the mission officially started. I can feel the pressure and the burdens I have on my shoulders, but I'm not alone. After all, we are all in this together.

And it is a way to prove my worth to Enterprise-senpai and Charles-senpai because of their actions that changed the world. I wish I can be like them. Someone that everyone will look up to.

But now, we must think about which sectors to take first.

Essex : So, TB, which sectors shall we take care first ?

TB : We can start by taking the sectors next to us which have Corrosion level 3 or 4.

Compiler : Because of the Caribbean Sea sectors having a corrosion level 5 and 6, it's better to finish with them.

Graf Zeppelin : Finally, the start of the final movement has begun. It's only a matter of time until the world destruction will happen.

Z18 : Hmm, Miss Zeppelin, why are you so keen to see the end of the world ? It would be way better to smile.

Prinz Eugen : Whatever do you mean, Z18 ? This is just Graf Zeppelin being herself, after all.

Scharnhorst : She just want to enjoy sinking Sirens, which I completely agree.

Gneiseneau : Sister, your behavior will increase your chances of being sunk, especially if we are going in the Caribbean Sea.

Scharnhorst : That's why I have you, Schwester. So, you can help me.

I looked at everyone in my group. Without counting Cinder and Compiler, most of the members of our group were sisters that are ready to protect each other. We truly look like sisters-in-arms.

Essex : Our sibling bonds are strong here.

Shangri-La : This is a beautiful sight to behold, but we should get back to our main business.

Bunker Hill : I agree. We should be ready for any Sirens that could show up.

Intrepid : You're right !

South Dakota : Don't worry. As the "Strongest Shield", I will protect everyone.

Alabama : Don't forget me ! I am ready to sink those Sirens !

Massachusetts : I cannot compare my power with Jean Bart anymore, but that won't stop me to show my strength.

Gridley : Oh right ! I remember the duel you had with Jean Bart since I took photos of it to put them in the article wrote by Aoba.

Massachusetts : Not my proudest moment, but I am glad for Jean Bart that she is able to use her full power.

Alabama : Seriously ?! You managed to get a duel with Jean Bart ?! Come on ! How did you managed to get a duel with her while Tirpitz always refuses my challenges ?! *pouts*

Admiral Hipper : Beats me.

Z21 : Can we stop talking and actually start the mission ?! My sisters and I are still waiting !

Z20 : Yeah, we should talk when we finish our task.

Z19: Essex, please give us the signal to start before Cinder try something on us.

She pointed at Cinder who has difficulty to hold back her tendencies to do umm... unorthodox things to Destroyers.

Craven : Yeah, she's looking scary right now.

Essex : You're right. Let's take back our seas !

Everyone else : YES !!!/ JAWOHL !!!

We went towards the sectors that need to be taken back while putting some outposts on our way.

(Timeskip given to you by Shtorm meeting the Purifier of Charles's world)

A few hours later, they managed to take a few sectors back. What surprised them is the lack of Sirens. Those who like to fight them are disappointed by the lack of Sirens to sink. They started to wonder if the Sirens are doing something in the shadows.

Scharnhorst : Well, never I felt so disappointed in my life. Those Sirens are so weak it's not even fun to sink them.

Graf Zeppelin : They're so weak that I don't hate them anymore, but rather loathe them.

Alabama : Come on ! Why is it so easy ?!

Intrepid : I agree as well ! If all we meet are those Sirens, finishing our mission will be very quick !

Z21 : At least, I will have no trouble to protect my sisters.

Compiler : Well, that is to be expected in a sector with a low-corrosion level.

Cinder : Those were level 3 corrosion sectors right ?

TB : Affirmative. Although the last one we took back was a level 4 corrosion sector.

Prinz Eugen : Maybe they are somewhere else. In a Mirror Sea hidden somewhere possibly.

Massachusetts : That seems... actually possible.

Essex : Do you think we might find one of those Leader-class Sirens ?

Bunker Hill : We don't know for sure. Enterprise's team never found any Mirror Sea from what I heard.

Compiler : But for Richelieu's and Hood's team, it did happened.

Admiral Hipper : Wait, really ?!

TB : Affirmative. Richelieu's team found two Arbiter-class Sirens in that Fractured Sea. They called Charles and he managed to make them join us.

Z18 : That's good to hear. Another good reason to keep smiling.

Cleveland : This means more powerful allies.

Montpelier : I agree with my sister.

Columbia : Clevebro is right.

Denver : Yeah !

Cleveland : Come on ! Why does everyone keep calling me Clevebro ?!

Birmingham : Maybe because you look like a tomboy ?

Biloxi : Yeah. She's not wrong.

Cleveland : Why everyone thinks I'm a boy...? ;-;

Everyone giggled at Cleveland's reaction until one of the girls noticed something.

Cooper : Hey ! What's that over there ?

Cooper was pointing some islands with destroyed buildings.

Essex : I don't know. Maybe we should go check it out ?

Intrepid : Maybe we can find some informations about the Sirens there.

South Dakota : Well, let's go then.

Essex's group went towards the islands with destroyed buildings. As they got closer, they saw that those destroyed buildings were actually Siren facilities.

Z19 : Who could have the power to destroy all of those facilities ?

Cinder : That was me.

Graf Zeppelin : You are the one behind this destruction ?!

Cinder : Yeah, although I'm surprised the ruins have been left untouched. I actually destroyed them before joining with Ash and Ember, and when I found them, they were talking with Charles. And I'm sure Charles could do even more damage than me.

Intrepid : So, you destroyed it when we were still in the Panama Canal dealing with Compiler ?! No offense, Compiler...

Compiler : None taken.

Montpelier : What was the goal of those Siren facilities by the way ?

Compiler : It was to create machines to can change the weather such as creating fog or freezing a part of the seas. But you could also use them to modify the power and direction of the sea currents.

Denver : So this where they are created.

Cinder : One of them at least. I'm sure there are others like those.

Compiler : I can confirm this.

Cleveland : Well, shall we continue our mission ?

Essex : Yes, let's get going.

The group left the Siren facilities, or at least what was left of them, to continue their mission.

(Timeskip given to you by a wholesome hug given by Richelieu to Charles)

Still 3rd P.O.V

Two hours has passed since Essex's group left the Siren facilities that were in ruin. They finished taking back most of the corrosion low-level sectors and went towards the Caribbean Sea where the corrosion levels are higher.

However as they got closer to this place, TB received a call from an unknown source.

TB : Incoming call. Identity of the one initiating the call is unknown. Do you want to answer the call ?

Essex : What shall we do ?

Compiler : Well, I would be against it. TB has the contact of everyone, Ashes included. So, an unknown person trying to call us via TB is only spelling trouble.

Gneiseneau : While this is the case, maybe the one calling us could be an Arbiter-class Siren. And if it is the case, we can call Charles to tell him this.

Shangri-La : It actually makes sense. But I'm not sure if it is a ruse from the Creator to create an ambush.

Prinz Eugen : But whoever it is, it will surely end up in a fight either way.

Admiral Hipper : We should stay out of trouble for now. We still have a mission to finish.

Columbia : Well, let's leave the choice to Essex.

Essex : Despite what you said, it will be safer to just refuse the call. TB, reject the call.

TB : Rejecting the call. Action successful.

Everyone sighed as they were relieved it worked, but however, another call was sent and it directly answered without TB being able to reject it again.

??? : You fools ! You thought you can reject my call ?! Guess what, you can't !

Essex : What the ?! Who are you ?!

A hologram appeared which revealed to be a Siren. However, this Siren wasn't one of the mass-produced Sirens. She had riggings that look like a jellyfish, but completely different than Compiler.

Speaking of her, Compiler already noticed it and sent secretly to Charles an encrypted message without no one knowing, not even the mysterious Siren.

??? : I am Arbiter XIV : The Temperance.

The group widen their eyes as they heard her name. No doubt about it, they found another Arbiter-class Siren.

Essex : Wait until we call Charles to come to you.

Arbiter XIV : Good luck trying. I jammed your electronics, so you cannot contact anyone at all.

??? : Are you sure about that ?

Another hologram appeared and that person is none other than Charles

Arbiter XIV : How ?! This isn't possible !

Charles : You cannot mute me. Also, I shall thank Compiler to tell me about the situation.

Compiler : You're welcome.

Arbiter XIV : So, I got outsmarted. Well, no matter, the Creator asked me to eliminate you, and this is what I shall do.  Enforcer XIV, it's time for you to act.

Enforcer XIV : Alright.

Another Siren showed up. Her riggings looks like some kind of squid.

Enforcer XIV : I am Enforcer XIV : Equilibrium. I hope you are ready to face me.

Essex's group prepared to fight. That was until a portal appeared next to them.

Enforcer XIV : What ? Who's there ?!

Three figures got out of the portal, all of them being Sirens. They were none other than Arbiter III : The Empress, Arbiter VIII : The Strength and Enforcer VIII : Determination.

The group only recognized Arbiter III, but not the other two as they were rescued not long ago by Charles.

Z20 : Wait, who are those Sirens with Arbiter III ?

Arbiter III : She *points at the grey Siren* is Arbiter VIII : The Strength, and she *points to the blue-haired Siren* is Enforcer VIII : Determination. They have been discovered by Richelieu's group, and saved by Charles.

Shangri-La : What do you mean by saved ?

Arbiter III : They were under the control of the Creator because of some collars. *sees the collar on Enforcer XIV's neck* And she has one of them.

Prinz Eugen : You're telling us that getting rid of those collars will free her ? Got it.

Admiral Hipper : Wait, where is Charles ?!

Enforcer VIII : He went to Arbiter XIV's location right now. So, we're dealing with Enforcer XIV now.

Enforcer XIV : Let's end this.

Enforcer XIV dashed towards them at an insane speed while launching torpedoes on them. Everyone managed to dodge and tried to shoot her riggings. But they have difficulty in doing so as she is quite nimble and quick, mostly for the fact she is considered as a Destroyer.

(A/N : Enforcer XIV is indeed considered as a Destroyer in the game.
As for Enforcer VIII, she is considered as a Heavy Cruiser.)

Essex : Damn, she's fast.

Arbiter III : Well, she is a Destroyer. She could actually be competition in terms of speed with the Le Fantasque-class Destroyers.

Cinder : Wait ! She's a Destroyer ?!

Everyone was so focused on the fight that they forgot that Cinder is also a lolicon, or rather a Destroyercon.

Cinder : Wait ! Come here ! I have candies !

Cinder rushed at Enforcer XIV, who got scared by seeing Cinder's facial expressions, which screamed "rape" to her.

Enforcer XIV : Oh no ! Get her away from me !

Enforcer XIV tried to run away from her, but didn't expected Cinder to catch up with her.

Enforcer XIV : LEAVE ME ALONE !!!

Cinder : I won't hurt you, I promise !

Enforcer XIV : THOSE ARE NOTHING BUT LIES !!! LIES !!!

Arbiter III, not wanting this to last, decided to act.

Arbiter III : Strength, increase the gravity around Equilibrium to slow her down. Determination, get ready to knock Cinder unconscious before she starts doing something disgusting. I'll take care of the collar.

Arbiter VIII/Enforcer VIII : Right.

Strength has increased the gravity around Enforcer XIV, which slowed her down. But as Cinder was about to touch her, Enforcer VIII come behind her and knock her unconscious with her riggings.

B O N K

Enforcer XIV could breath again after almost being molested by Cinder, but she didn't noticed Arbiter III that was behind her until the last second.

Arbiter III : It's over.

Enforcer XIV closed her eyes, waiting for her end, but it never happened, as she opens her eyes, she see that was still alive, but noticed that the collar is no longer around her neck.

Arbiter III : You are free now.

Enforcer XIV : Thank you, Empress. How can I repay you for freeing me ?

Arbiter III : Just join us against the Creator.

Enforcer XIV : You didn't have to ask. After all, we never appreciated him anyway. But what about Temperance ? Will you free her as well ?

Enforcer VIII : Charles is already dealing with this with the help of Hermit.

Arbiter VIII : ...He...will succeed...

Meanwhile with Arbiter XIV : The Temperance :

Arbiter XIV P.O.V

So, they managed to defeat Enforcer XIV. At least, she is free from his grasp, but this isn't the case for me. How long will it takes until I am free again ?

But as I looked at the fight, I noticed something, or rather, the lack of something. This Charles should have been there to free her but he wasn't there. That's weird, unless...

Wait a minute ! He managed to come through my comms despite my jamming ! Does this mean he knows where I am ? But then... does this mean he is actually coming for me ?!

Sure enough, I heard the noise of a portal opening. I turned around to see two Sirens coming from it. The first one was Arbiter IX : The Hermit, but the other one was actually the newest Siren to appear. If I remember correctly, it is Executioner I : The Judge, the very first Executioner-class Siren.

Arbiter XIV : So you were actually coming for me, right Executioner, or should I say Charles ?

Executioner : It doesn't matter which name you use, as the Creator already know I survived. But I'm here to free you from his grasp.

Arbiter XIV : In that case, you know how this work right ?

Arbiter IX : We know. But we are ready.

Arbiter XIV : In that case, let us start our fight.

3rd P.O.V

Temperance started by shooting lasers on both Executioner and Hermit. They both dodged the attacks. Executioner summoned Sökkvabekkr and start destroying the lasers with it.

Arbiter XIV : Impressive. No wonder Empress joined you. But how long will you last ?

Executioner : Let's test that, shall we ?

His rigging started launching several Siren-themed Panthers on Arbiter XIV. She tried destroy them but had a hard time to do it, seeing the shots that damaged her riggings.

Arbiter XIV : I may have underestimated you, but it won't happen again.

Executioner : Let's see then. 

Executioner started to dash towards Arbiter XIV. He used Sökkvabekkr against her, but she managed to stop the blade.

Arbiter XIV : Seriously ? Is that all ?

Executioner : You have underestimated me again. Hermit ! NOW !!!

Executioner put some sunglasses on him. Temperance was confused why. Hermit suddenly appeared with some sunglasses as well. The light in her lantern suddenly became brighter to the point it would blind temporarily Temperance.

Arbiter XIV : Dammit !

Executioner profit from this to take back his sword before dashing again to her, but this time to destroy the collar on her. With an extremely precise strike, Executioner managed to destroy the collar, which freed Temperance from the control of the Creator.

Executioner dismissed Sökkvabekkr before looking at Temperance, waiting for her to recover her vision. It took a few minutes before she entirely recovered from the blinding light from Hermit.

Arbiter XIV : ...

Executioner : Are you okay ?

Arbiter XIV : Now that I don't have anymore that collar on me, yes. Thank you for freeing me.

Executioner : You're welcome. So, are you going to join us ?

Arbiter XIV : Asking this question was useless because it was my goal to join you after all.

Arbiter IX : Welcome to the gang.

Executioner : Shall we get back to the others ?

Arbiter IX : Yeah, let's go. *opens a portal*

(Timeskip given to you by an Ark Royal from an alternate world where she isn't a lolicon)

3rd P.O.V

Essex's group as well as Empress, Strength, Equilibrium and Determination were waiting for Executioner and Hermit to come back with Temperance. It didn't took long before a portal appeared with the aforementioned Sirens coming out from it.

Equilibrium : So, you are Executioner I : The Judge ? Nice to meet you, and thanks for saving Temperance.

Executioner : You're welcome.

Arbiter XIV : Also, sorry about earlier.

Cleveland : No need to be sorry. We only blame the Creator for your previous actions.

Montpelier : I agree with my sister.

Denver : Yeah, Clevebro best bro !

Cleveland : Come on ! Stop this already ! I'm not a boy !

Everyone giggled at the poor Cleveland being seen as a bro.

Executioner : Well, shall we finish this mission together ?

Essex : Oh right ! We still have the outposts to build !

Everyone nodded before going to the closest point of the sphere in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean.

(Timeskip given to you by Charles and Littorio in assassin outfits)

Outpost near the Siren sphere :

3rd P.O.V

A few hours later after finishing taking back all the sectors in their surroundings, Essex's group finally got to the last outpost. As they got there, they were greeted by Saratoga.

Saratoga : Hello everyone ! Welcome to this outpost !

Essex : Thanks, Saratoga ! We can finally rest for a while !

Prinz Eugen : Ara~ More time to enjoy some beer !

Scharnhorst : Count me in !

Graf Zeppelin : I will join you too.

The 3 Ironblood girls went towards the bar to get some beer while the other girls either rest in the sofas or play some games. However, Executioner had other ideas.

Essex : You're already going, Charles ?

Executioner : I'm coming back. I need to retrieve something in another simulation.

Intrepid : What is it ?

Executioner : Let's say it's a weapon that could be useful against the Creator.

Executioner said before creating a portal and enter it.

Meanwhile in the Siren World :

3rd P.O.V

To say the Creator was mad was an understatement. He is losing more and more Leader-class Sirens. So, of course he would be mad.

Creator : DAMN YOU, CHARLES !!! YOU WILL PAY FOR STEALING ME MY LEADER-CLASS SIRENS !!!

He was so mad that he broke the furniture around him, which cost a lot to replace, not that he cared since he can easily have money.

Creator : They were useless anyway. They cannot do a job right. The Sirens win only thanks to me.

He calmed down and smirked thinking about how to kill Charles for good.

Creator : He can't defeat me. I am the best.

He got back to his cocky self.

Creator : Also, damn that California lover who simps for Omitter. What's good about her anyway ?

He then laughed as he prepares a weapon that would be strong enough to kill Charles.

Creator : Prepare yourself, Charles. This time, you won't escape death. *evil laugh*

Meanwhile in the Simulation #19432030, codenamed "Shtorm :

(A/N : Before continuing, a big thanks to Downneck  for letting me use one of his OCs for this short passage.

He's a great guy. It might be possible that I will make a crossover with him in the future, but that will depend on my mood, on how the story progress, and on Downneck's opinion about that.

If it does happen in the future, it might be either directly put in the plot or as a special chapter, I will see depending on my mood.

Now back to the story.)

3rd P.O.V

On a small island could be seen Charles, he was on a beach waiting for someone. Fifteen minutes later, the person that Charles was waiting finally arrived.

That person was actually a Shipgirl. This Shipgirl was a submarine from the Northern Parliament. However, just like Charles, she came from the future, although not the same world.

??? : Sorry for taking a long time, but I had to make sure I wasn't followed by anyone or a Siren. A good thing Shtorm is covering me.

Charles : It's okay. I can understand. So, do you have it ?

??? : Yeah, here it is.

The unknown submarine bring what Charles wanted. It was a few tsar bomba.

??? : But why do you need these when you already have nukes ?

Charles : Let's say I want to use them on a particular Siren.

??? : Oh. You mean exploding that meanie male Siren you told me about last time ?

Charles : Exactly.

??? : Oh ! Please, make sure to film the reaction of that Siren when you blow him up with those tsar bomba ! I'm pretty sure me and the rest of the RED fleet will enjoy laughing at this !

Charles : Everything for a pal.

??? : Well, it was nice to see you again, but I need to go back to Azur Lane right now. I can't wait to see you, me and the rest of the RED fleet bringing havoc to the Sirens.

Charles : Would be nice to see the RED fleet again.

??? : Well, see you later, Charles.

Charles : See you next time, Dmitriy Donskoy. Say hi to the RED fleet for me.

Dmitriy Donskoy : Will do ! Dosdevanya !

Dmitriy Donskoy submerged in the sea before going to the Azur Lane base. After putting the tsar bomba very carefully in his ship, he turned into his Siren form and created a portal to go back to his Simulation.

(A/N) : And that's it for chapter 35. I hope you have enjoyed it. Feel free to leave your feedback and opinion in the comments.

Just a little warning for my book, I should make another lemon in a few chapters. So be on the lookout for it. And stop being horny please ! Or Downneck will send you to gulag !

Well, that's it for this chapter. Thanks for reading it. And see you in the next one.

TheBreizhOne out !
