Azur Lane: Story of the Blind Battleship

Chapter 18: Salvation

Bismarck: So he's moving back to the Pacific?

Tirpitz: From what Graf Zeppelin says, yes.

Yorktown: Our recon aircraft have detected his ship heading towards a large open body of water. We can intercept him here.

Queen Elizabeth: How many ships are we gonna assemble for this?

Yorktown: Everyone. His ship is more than what a single faction can handle alone. 

Bismarck: Agreed. We either capture or talk him out of this... otherwise...

Nagato: We'll have to destroy him. I know.

The leaders are in agreement, and orders are sent out to the fleets to begin massive assembling. In less than 2 hours, a massive fleet of all the factions are in route to his ship. Leading the formation is the Yamato and New Jersey, the largest battleships of Azur Lane. This is serious, it is the end game.... for Arkansas, for the Sirens.

Arkansas' ship was continuing to sail by through the debris field of multiple Siren ships. Another group exits a portal ahead of his ship, Arkansas sighs.

Arkansas: They're just doing the same tactic over and over again. It's rather boring. Lock missiles, fire.

AI: Acknowledged. Locking.

Numerous VLS tubes open up and missiles lock onto the Siren ships. They then all launch and arc towards the fleet of Siren ships.

All the missiles impact, detonating. These missiles have evolved to the point of being miniature black holes like Bismarck's guns. They consume the parts of the ships they hit, leaving the ships completely destroyed or disabled. Arkansas' ship continues to sail through towards his destination. His radar spikes and detects a large fleet heading to intercept him.

Arkansas: The Sirens usually deploy out of portals, they don't sail long distances. Hmmm, Azur Lane is coming to me. Evolve the shields, we're gonna need them for something later.

AI: Acknowledged. We can use missiles from range.

Arkansas: No, let them get closer. Rig the ship for dive. How is the reactor currently?

AI: Rigging for dive. Last reactor safeguards are being disabled. Final authorization word required.

Arkansas: Good. I'll set the command word when we're closer to the island. 

Arkansas' ship dives under the waves and disappears without a trace once again. Shifting again to the Azur Lane fleet, they're finally in position to intercept Arkansas' ship. The carriers deploy their fighters and the ships assume a combat formation.
