Azur Lane: Iron Eagle

Chapter 20: Return of Orochi

Commission Fleet, Atlantic Ocean

Nemo POV

We're heading to one of the Siren fleets that our intel has report and the Kommandant has order a commission fleet to hunt the fleet down which is Bismarck, Prinz Eugen, Prince of Wales, Hood, and me as back up under the approval of Bismarck, but the formation was under order of Kommandant so I decided to join them. I wonder it is because I manage to become friends with the U-Boats and I don't think she like it, but at least I'm with the Royal Navy with this one since I always worry what the Iron Blood would do to me if I'm alone with them. I wish Cleveland was here with me, but Kommandant orders. We continue making our way to the destination, but it was a quiet trip.

Nemo(thought): "Why is the fleet so quiet?"

I head to Hood to talk with her while she is sipping her tea along with Prince of Wales who is enjoying the view, but maintain distance from Iron Blood.

Nemo: "Greetings Lady Hood and Lady Wales; Warum schweigen alle?"

Hood: "We don't want to talk about it; let just say bad blood between Iron Blood and Royal Navy."

Nemo: "You're talking about the previous war when you got sunk at the Strait."

She nod and continue to glare at Bismarck which I move in to talk with her.

Nemo: "But, we're allies right now; we need to move forward in order to defeat the Sirens. Like me; the Iron Blood see me as a traitor or a worst U-Boat, but I manage to become friends with the U-Boat."

We continue to talk until we make contact with the Siren fleet which is in front of us.

Everyone summon their rigs while I head down underwater to ambush the fleet while the girls are busy with the Sirens, but for some reason I can hear voice somewhere, but I don't see everyone.

???: "It is time to return to us Orochi."

After that everything is blacken out and don't know what happen except a evil laugh has occur before I pass out.

Meanwhile

Hood POV

We commence our operation against the Sirens while we have to work with Iron Blood which I agree with Nemo that we need to work together against our common enemy.

Hood: "Although I don't like you Bismarck, but for now I can put our difference aside so we can fight against the common enemy."

Bismarck: "Even though we're superior; we can't fight all of  them just by ourselves so I agree that we need to join forces. Now I understand what Kommandant want us put together for this commission."

Everyone nod and start attacking the fleet, but was stop by Tester who is protecting the fleet.

Tester: "Looks like the distraction work just as plan."

Wales(angry): "Tester! What do you mean work?'

Tester: "Observer want something from your U-Boat to complete our main project."

When she mention U-Boat which means Nemo was their target so I try to shout for Nemo, but he isn't responding to my call. I continue shouting to get his answer and still nothing.

Hood: "Something ain't right here. Where is Nemo?"

Right on cue a U-Boat appear underwater into the surface with Nemo standing on front of the ship which was a relief, but everything went wrong when he point his gun at us and not the Sirens. His eyes change from normal to Siren which is similar during Orochi Incident. We dodge his shell and question of what is going on here.

Hood: "NEMO! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

Tester: "My dear lady; he is Orochi now and we're going to take him with us if you don't mind."

Hood(angry): "We're not going to let you have him."

Tester: "That is bad so that means we can have fun here."

Right on cue; portals appear everywhere and Siren ships start to open fire at us while Nemo continue his attack against us which we're outnumber and we don't have destroyers to protect us against Nemo so things aren't looking good. We continue to fight until we were defeated by the Sirens, but Bismarck use all her strength to get all of us out of here and the Siren didn't pursue us. Probably because they got what they came for which is Nemo; how can we tell this to Commander and Cleveland about this?

Meanwhile at Siren Fleet

Tester POV

We watch the enemy fleet retreat with our target secure which he is in a frozen stance and not responding to everyone which means Orochi is still recovering from the fight, but we complete our mission and Observer arrive.

Observer: "Got our new toy?"

Tester: "Yup, but he is only responding to command and not talk active."

Observer: "He must be damage due to the last fight and require a big resource to get some repairs for him. Take him to one of the Mirror Seas and we will start Phase 2 to the project which is getting Orochi a new ship."

Tester: "How long that will take?"

Observer: "Within the week that the new Orochi will bring back alive."

After that we command Orochi to return to the Mirror Sea which he accept the order and heading through one of the portals before the main fleet went inside as well while Observer continue to observe the enemy fleet which I question her.

Tester: "Why are you still looking the enemy fleet?"

Observer: "I wonder if things are different if that Cleveland girl was here; would we still have victory?"

Tester: "You mean that Eagle Union Cruiser; we got lucky that she isn't here when we rescue Orochi from Azur Lane. Is she a threat to Orochi?"

Observer: "During my observation in our last battle with Orochi; she is the one that brought the suspect back to his rightful mind which means she is dangerous for this new project and must be dealt with. I'm going to have Purifier to deal with her so we make sure we'll never lose Orochi again."

After that we both head out and commence Phase 2 of our project within the Mirror Sea.

Note: "We're heading to our last 10 chapters of Iron Eagle so the final fight against the Sirens will be taking place soon.'
