[Time: May 15th, 2025
Location: Bosphorus strait, Constantinople, Europe
Cap. Miroslav Stevović POV]

It was relaxing sailing here, the calm waters, sea breeze hitting your face, everything. Here I am signing papers and shit in my cabin while drinking coffee. Then my radio came to life.

???(R): Oi 'Blackbeard' get your ass out of your cabin, we are having a meeting here at the stern.

Miroslav(R): Alright, who else would be there with you 'Archangel'?

'Archangel'(R): All of the squad and come quickly...

Miroslav(R): Yes, sir.

I leave the paperwork for later and drink whats left of my coffee, and then leave. Being in the Alpha squad and being the captain of a fleet is a pain in the ass. One day you'll be doing hostage negotiations, the other day you'll be making tactics, but the pay is butt clenching high. Right now we are sailing to the South Pacific to investigate a facility of GlobeX, let's just hope shit doesn't hit the fan. But anyways I arrived at the stern where the rest of my squad awaits for me.

'Archangel': You're finally here, let's recap the plan.

'Archangel' puts a map on the makeshift table.

'Archangel': Alright, listen to me carefully, when we are about 50 nautical miles away from the facility, you 'Blackbeard' send scout planes to see with what we're dealing with.

Miroslav: Rog'.

'Archangel': When we see what we're dealing with we go in with parachutes, apart from you 'Blackbeard'. 'Bull', 'Doc' and I will go to the top of the building and go through the vents, 'Shadow' will cover us with a sniper on the hill top. Eliminate anyone who is a threat, scan and take the documents, destroy the thing they've been building, take the scientist for questioning and destroy the facility. That clear?

Alpha squad: Crystal, sir!

'Archangel': Dismissed.

I begin to leave, but...

'Archangel': Miroslav, you stay...

I stop in my tracks and face him. He is sitting on a barrel facing the sea.

'Archangel': Miroslav, have you been taking your medicine?

Miroslav: I did, sir-

'Archangel': Enough with the formalities, call me by my real name, and don't lie to me.

Miroslav: I guess there is no point in lying to you Dušan(eng. Dushan), is there?

Dušan: Nope there isn't, and you need to take the meds, you know that 'Doc' will have your head for that?

Miroslav: I know, it's just...

Dušan: You don't have to talk about it, we all know that you lost your wife and child to those bastards and that you suffer from PTSD. We are trying to help you the best way possible and you know that.

Miroslav: I do know that, I just can't get them out of my head.

Dušan: This is a touchy subject for you, that's why I'm leaving you alone and I ran out of time. Don't forget we are always there for you brother.

Miroslav: I won't brother. Goodbye.

Dušan: Bye.

I return to my office to continue the paperwork, and for some fucking reason the pile got larger. Well it ain't gonna finish itself.


Timeskip

I was halfway through the pile when an alarm went off.

Miroslav: The fuck?

I quickly took my weapons and gear, and got our of my cabin. A sailor is running to me.

Sailor: Sir! We've been ambushed by GlobeX, we have minor casualties, your orders?!

Miroslav: Don't fire the primary turrets or bomb the city, only use secondary weapons, AAs and machine guns, I don't plan on destroying a city 800(?) years old.

Sailor: Yes, Capt'n!

My radio came to life and oh! guess who was it.

Dušan(R): Blackbeard, we need you here at starboard now!

Miroslav(R): Coming!

I run through my ship to the bridge and see that my squad is in a life boat waiting for me.

Dušan(R): Blackbeard! Where are you, we're waiting for you to leave for safety.

Miroslav(R): I'm sorry sir, but my duty as a Captain of a ship is that I always leave last or go down with the ship.

Dušan(R): Are you crazy?! I ain't leaving a brother behind!

Miroslav(R): Me? Crazy? I'm bat shit insane! And if you don't leave you will die here. I will give Lieutenant Jovanov(Yovanov) the role of commanding officer if I die. It is that I buy you time to escape or you die here and fail the mission. What will it be Colonel?

Dušan(R):...Alright.... Boys let's leave..

Quartermaster: Sir, they hit us in the fuel tank, we are slowing down. Orders?

Miroslav:...abandon ship.

Quartermaster:But sir-

Miroslav: That wasn't a request quartermaster, that's an order. Those who won't leave the ship, let them stay on it, but let them know that it is suicide to stay. Dismissed...

Quartermaster:...Aye, sir!

Miroslav:(may God help me in this battle, just to buy some time for them to escape).

Timeskip

I did it, they are safe and far away now. The deck of my ship is burning, scattered corpses everywhere. Poor souls.

They've taken my ship, many live, but they will not take me alive. I've but a shit tonne of explosives in the engine room for a surprise for them.

Slowly but surely they are getting closer to me, to capture me. I leave one last message for my comrades.

Miroslav(R): Dušan, if you're listening this, please kill their leader for me, for your family, for everybody that lost their life to them, do a favor to everyone.

Dušan 'Archangel' ??? POV

Miroslav(R): Dušan, if you're listening this, please kill their leader for me, for your family, for everybody that lost their life to them, do a favor to everyone.

Dušan: I will comrade....I will.

Miroslav 'Blackbeard' Stevović POV

I aim my revolver to my chin ready to pull the trigger. I say my last words.

Miroslav: За крст часни и слободу златну! (Eng. For the honorable cross and golden freedom!)

Or at least I think those were my last words.

No one's POV

A bright light came from the sky and it started descending to SUS Karadjordje. Miroslav covered his eyes and lost consciousness.

Miroslav's dream world POV

Miroslav: where the fuck am I?

Everything is white around here, it fucking hurts my eyes, I then see a person dressed in a... white army officer clothes?

???: Miroslav....

I pulled my revolver and aimed at him.

Miroslav: How the fuck do you know my name?

???: Simple really... But I don't have the time to tell you.

I keep my pistol aimed.

???: Tell me... do you wish to save humanity in another timeline for a better future in the one you've been?

Miroslav:......

???: Time is running out.....

Miroslav:... I do.

???: Good choice, now would you like for me to brief you on what you're dealing with.

Miroslav: Sure mr....

Don: Call me Don.

Miroslav: Just like the river?

Don: Yep.

Timeskip

Miroslav: So you're telling me that this timeline has ships in human forms of a female, which are known as kansens? They are split into what 9 or 10 factions with two ideologies, and are fighting alien ships known as sirens during WW2?

Don: Yup that's it. So are you sure you want to help them?

Miroslav: I have nothing to live for, literally, so sure why not?

Don: Good, if you need me here is a bell for you to ring when you need me, and you might loose consciousness when I put you in this world.

Miroslav: Wait! Am I going to be a kansen, or ship boy or a human?

Don: Well of course, you'll be a ship boy. You might need to practice though.

Miroslav: Alright, I'm ready to go in this timeline.

Don: Alright, just don't die I can't save you from everything(although I can).

Miroslav: Rog'.

Don snapped his fingers thanos style and I lost consciousness there.

Don's POV

I was looking down from the clouds to see where did I put him.

Don: Oh he is near Azur lane HQ, hopefully they get to find him first before the axis do.
