Azur Lane: The Endless Odyssey

CHAPTER 44

THIRD PERSON POV

Enterprise is feeling very sick and dizzy, she is swaying from side to side, it's the middle of the night so everyone is sleeping and no one hears a thing.

Enterprise trying to steady herself, she knocked over her nightstand and then she walks out the door, she walks very slowly while leaning against the wall.

[Alert: body temperature 79°]

Enterprise suddenly comes down with a fever and headaches, she walks until something makes her stop, she sees her evil doppelganger.

Enterprise: What are you doing here?

Ash: Mankind set sail to the seas with adventure in their hearts, but soon they were filled with a different desire, that of conquering the seas...

In that the ground begins to burn in fire surprising Enterprise.

Ash: The ocean has been plagued by wars, conflict is humanity's true desire (Devilish smile) It's a drama that humanity desires.

Enterprise: (disgusted) What the hell are you saying?

In that Enterprise sees that Ash's appearance completely changes to that of Amagi.

Enterprise: (serious look) You are different... your current and previous appearances are simply false. Your true appearance is more hideous than you appear to be.

Amagi?: No, I'm the real one. Because I am a mirror that reflects the desire of humanity.

In that the eyes of Amagi and Enterprise feel very bad and she falls to the ground as she loses consciousness, as her consciousness blurs, she hears Orochi's last words.

Orochi: My name is Orochi, a monster born by the will of mankind!

TIME SKIP

In the morning Belfast luckily had found Enterprise on the ground, so she called Vestal and luckily Enterprise only has a cold, Enterprise is currently asleep in her bed while Vestal talks to Belfast, in the end Belfast stays in the room to care for Enterprise.

As Belfast tries to flip the damp cloth on Enterprise's forehead to lower her fever, Enterprise wakes up and sits up on the bed.

Enterprise: (confused) I...

Belfast: (Disgust) You fell unconscious in the dorm corridor, you were burning with fever, it was a very obvious result of your very unhealthy lifestyle.

Enterprise: (confused) Was it a dream? No, it was not.

Enterprise stands up and walks to her closet, but she staggers and Belfast tries to help her, but Enterprise refuses the help in the rudest way possible.

She then dresses.

Enterprise: There is clearly something wrong with me, I am currently of no use, as a weapon I am flawed. If I am defective I am useless.

Belfast is already very upset by Enterprise's attitude, so she plays the same Enterprise game.

Belfast approaches Enterprise and she smiles at Enterprise.

Enterprise: Hmmm?

In that Belfast grabs Enterprise's tie and draws it to her face surprising Enterprise a lot.

Enterprise: Huh? Than?

So Belfast forces her to go to the restaurant, on the way the kansen are surprised by the irregular event.

Far from the base there is a high ranking siren, she is Purifier.

Puri: (Disgusted) My God, that Observer has gone too far, ordering me to mobilize on my day off, but this body is a clone, so no problem, I have this clone just in case something bad happens. I still can't believe that Empress was killed by an unknown being. Well, Azur Lane already took care of that being so now we just have to fulfill our plans.
