Upon seeing their old nemesis, Taniks. Jasper and Isaac check their ammo count. It was low.

"Fuck...I'm getting low, Isaac." Jasper said.

"Same for me as well. So what should we do?" Isaac asks as they eye up at the Fallen. Jasper thinks for a second but unfortunately, Taniks, had no patience as he started to shoot his scorch cannon at the humans and Kansens. Tanik's army followed suit as the Fallen aggressively start shooting at them as well. The Giant Servitors accompany Taniks while shielding him. The soldiers were getting blasted everywhere and the Kansens are having a hard time landing their shots due to the abundance of Fallen.

"We have to fall back. Now!" Jasper ordered. Isaac wanted to protest but knew the situation wasn't looking good for them. So he radioed:

"ALL TROOPS AND KANSENS!...RETREAT!" He ordered. All understood the order as they run in the opposite direction. Jasper cast Sentinel Shield to block the incoming shots and stood his ground. Isaac notices his action.

"JASPER!?" He questions.

"I'm staying back. Go, and protect them."

"WHAT ABOUT YOU!?" Isaac asks in a worried tone. Jasper smirks.

"Heh, it's just Taniks. He and I have an old grudge with each other. So don't worry about me" He assures Isaac. Isaac looks at him for a few seconds before running to where the soldiers and Kansens are.

"...Be brave...Jasper." He said in his head.

"...I know what are you saying right now, Isaac. Be brave, huh? Our motto as a Guardian." Jasper thought as he sees the Fallen Army coming right at him. "Well then...round 4, huh, you ol'bastard?" As he charges into the army.

Location: Azur Lane International Base, Atlantic Ocean.

Upon hearing the Harbor was under attack, everyone in the meeting room is on guard.

"WHAT!? BY WHO!? IS IT THE SIRENS!?" Enterprise asks in a worried tone. Javelin and Ayanami shook their heads.

"No...it is another alien species." Javelin answered. Everyone was stunned.

"It is probably this "Fallen" that Commandant has mentioned," Jean said. Everyone looked at her like she was crazy for saying it. Jean raises her right eyebrow in confusion. "What?"

"...It's just...how can I put it," Vittorio says. "There is no way another alien invader can just invade us...right?"

"Well, the news says otherwise," Javelin said.

"Javelin, where did you see the news?" Elizabeth asks.

"Oh, at the Commander's house. He has a t.v." Javelin answered which shocked everyone.

"You went to the Kommandant's house without permission!?" Bismarck asks her in an irritated tone. Javelin started to get nervous.

"T-The...door was unlocked though!" She stammered. 

"Hold on...Javelin-san. You said the door was unlocked?" Amagi asks. Javelin nodded quickly. "That's strange...I saw Shikikan locking the door. Belfast-san, Sheffield-san. Do you two or perhaps any of the Royal Maids go to Shikikan's house to clean there but forgot the lock the door after all of you were done?"

Belfast and Sheffield think for a second. "I believe Kent and Suffolk have gone there to clean the house but I know they always locked the door," Belfast answered.

"...Then who could have unlocked the door without the Commander's key?" Enterprise asks. Suddenly, Helena Meta detected something.

"Someone is at the base." She warned. Everyone put their guard up and materialize their riggings.
