After they had returned to their hideout, Uryū and Caster were dismayed to find out that all their work were destroyed by rider's fire. Caster reassures Uryū that he has a backup plan as a precaution.
At Fuyuki docks Josh was waiting patiently for Bismarck to arrive with another ship as Tirpitz and Artoria came up to join him.
Tirpitz: so you see, Artoria. Josh has been on the front lines during the war with the Red Axis and the Sirens. He even has a new ship and some new friends from the Northern Parliament.
Artoria: but how does he fight alongside you?
Tirpitz: until Atlas became a problem for us and Emerald became Josh's student before we had her as our second in command. He usually stay by our side. After Atlas became a real problem, he was given a new ship as a token of good fortune.
Artoria: what kind of ship?
Tirpitz: a Siren ship.
Josh looked through a spyglass and saw that Bismarck is on approach to Fuyuki with the Siren ship in tow. Emerald is currently figuring out Atalante's ace but notices something wrong with the water near the port as the day ends. She heads to Tirpitz's ship as fast as possible. While she was docking in the port, Bismarck was welcomed by Josh.
Tirpitz: what are you doing here, Bismarck?
Bismarck: I vas asked to come with the Azur Crest.
Artoria: the what?
Josh was about to explain to his friend about the Azur Crest when Emerald came over with some shocking news. Emerald informed them about the river glowing purple for some reason.
Josh: looks like that we'll need the help of our fleet in this. (To the Kansens) think that you would be able to help?
Fleet: yes sir!
Josh: let's move out.
The manjuus set to work with untying the ships from the docks as the ship propellers roar into life. The fleet was under way to the mouth of the Mion River. Josh asked Purifier to have the Sirens form a blockade until the battle was finished. On-board Yorktown's carrier, Atalante is holding what it looked like a some kind of fury pallet as Emerald had finally found her servant.
Emerald: there you are, Atalante.
Atalante: I want to apologise for disappearing on you while the other two kings were here.
Emerald: don't worry about it, Atalante. (Notices the fury pallet in Atalante's hand) what's that?
Atalante tells her that it's her ace then Josh calls them that Iskander had arrived with Lancer, Irisviel and Lakshmi-bai. He asked them to gather on Tirpitz's battleship self. They had boarded Tirpitz's ship.
Josh: ok now that Emerald and her servant are here. I want to ask who else would need to eliminate Caster before he destroys the city?
Atalante: I'm focused on his master.
Iskander: I don't think that it's a good idea.
Atalante: do you have a better idea, rider?! Cause I'm waiting for it!
Emerald: whoa. Settle down, archer.
Atalante: I'm sorry for this Emerald but no. Since the mini banquet, Rider here has been rude towards us and I'm sick of it! If you want to fight alongside that moron it's your choice!
She jumps from Tirpitz's ship to the shore and uses the pallet to transform herself.
After she witnessed her servant's transformation, Emerald was shocked to see that Atalante had transform herself into a berserker.
Emerald: uh, rider?
Iskander: yes?
Emerald: can you take me over to the shore? I can't walk on water.
Iskander reluctantly agreed to get her to the shore after Artoria revealed that she can walk on water herself. Josh went to the Azur Crest while it was sailing alongside the Azur Lane team. He asked Akagi and Yorktown to ensure the safety of the citizens while the battleships help the servants. A hand scanner had activated, Josh placed his right hand and it scanned it.
-scanner bleeps and glows green-
Josh: here we go.
The Azur Crest transforms itself into a battle rig. The most impressive but scary rig that Azur Lane has and it belongs to Josh.

After the rig equipped itself to him. Josh skis towards the battle.
