The Shadows of the Sea

The TSN's Private Meeting

Kage's POV

The entity informed about Void wanting to meet with me about their plans and such but it seemed like Void was in for a surprise as he wasn't aware about Matrix as he decided to join me. Me and Void decided to create a special island just for their nation before we entered this dimension. None of the shipgirls from all factions knew about it. They also aren't aware of the secret alliance we had.

A few hours later

It was midnight and Matrix decided to use an item given to him that makes a clone that look and act as Matrix himself. He then used it for Void at the Sakura Empire and for me as well without Void knowing about their "clone". They did that because they will be mainly working on the island at night.

Kage: you ready?

Matrix looked to see me crossing my arms while leaning against a wall

Matrix: Yep I'm all ready

Kage: Good, Void is heading to the coordinates already

Matrix: Alright

Matrix's POV

As Kage and I got to the docks, we made sure we got out of the base without notice which it was successful. Kage then summoned his ship as we both got on and started heading to the designated coordinates.

When we got to the area, we saw Void waiting for us as he had half of his mask on. We then went to him and greeted them. Void saw me and summoned his rigging as he fired void purple and black projectiles at me. I looked at my hand as it started enveloping itself with code which when the projectiles got close, it all got glitched out from existence.

Matrix: Woah chill out Void

I started changing into my normal form as Void sighed in relief

Void: Sorry thought you were some enemy, especially if they managed to get this far and got info to inform the other factions.

Kage who was behind me chuckled

Kage: don't worry, I made sure we weren't follow nor tracked by any shipgirls or sirens.

Me and Void nodded as I added something else

Matrix: I also created a device at the middle of the island that jams any vision to those who are nearby. It also makes the island invisible to everyone's view.

Kage: So like SCP-055?

Matrix: I guess you can say that.

As we finished talking, I pulled out an orb which started turning black in which some shadow of humanoid entities starts emerging out of that. Kage and Void looked at you with confusion.

Matrix: Because we are in this world, you currently can't use your elite shadows until you have upgraded yourself and such. Your full potential is when you manage to activate "Code G" that exist  in a few shipgirls in this world.

As I explained, it seemed both of them didn't notice them can't activating their elite shadows until now which then they understood.

As they finally understood their situations, we and the shadows that appeared from the orb started working on the base.

It surprisingly a few hours to finish and upgrade the base as much as they because of the shadows. They can done it more but they halted the process as they installed most of what they wanted like a universal radar, satellite, drone, and much more advanced stuff that the Sirens doesn't have.

Kage: Are you sure you don't want to continue?

Void: Ya, why are we stopping?

Matrix: Well first off, those clones doesn't last long as I haven't upgraded yet plus we have to keep continuing the "main plan" the leader wanted. Besides, the shadow can continue it even if we are gone because of the leader's ability.

Kage and Void nodded as they said their goodbyes as  we went separate ways as Void went back to the Sakura Empire and me and Kage heading back to the Azur Lane base.

Somewhere in a different dimension...

I was reading something online until I found something interesting. I started making some vessel and placed a black crystal at the center adding stuff into it.

After I finished, I went someone's room to a portal in which at the other side, a person was there sitting down and looking at the starry night.

The person looked like a reaper but the color of the hooded cloak were mainly black. His clothing like his shirt, jacket, and etc were also mainly colored black with part of it being dark grey. There were also dark gray stripes flowing through along with the wind on the body. His arm and legs weren't the same as human has with it being made of some black and ghostly matter. The person's face couldn't been seen under their hooded cloak.

First ???: Sir, I have created something that may be useful for Kage specifically since he is the Dimensional Shadow Traveler.

The person or entity looked at them

Second ???: I see......well then, make sure you deliver it to Matrix through his computer so he will pick it up. I'm sure you will update it overtime?

First ??? nodded

Second ???: Very well, you are dismissed......Echo

Echo nodded as he exited out the person/entity's place through the portal.

The person looks back and up to the starry sky as he chuckled.

"It's all going according as planned......."
