The Predator of the Depths

MELEE - Pulsing Waves, Steel Wings

Enterprise starts narrating. "We are weapons, shaped like humans. The Mental Cube. An unknown crystal substance brought to humanity through the battle against the Sirens. The Mental Cubes are the basis on which we are created, imbued with the power to fight the Sirens. That power is the power of ships. The power to conquer the seas and defeat the Sirens. It is with this power that humanity reclaimed the seas. But, in the pursuit of even more power, humanity was split in two.

The Red Axis, an alliance formed by Sakura Empire and Iron Blood, desires to take in the power of the Sirens. They raised a rebellion against the Azur lane. Even when facing a common threat, the Sirens, conflict between human factions continues. It's a curious thought that all this started, with the creation of one Ship. Yes. War never changes, regardless of era."

"Yet, what is a nation?" Alicorn asks. "Can we actually see the physical lines that divide one from another?"

Alicorn looks out to the blood-stained waters as Manjuus and Soldiers rescue injured ships and sailors as she stands at the docks. Alicorn's rigging looks around, Kevin is moving slowly as metal creaking his heard from him.

Alicorn's expressionless face looks around at the bodies that lie in the water. Even see a couple ship girls on the brink of death being pulled out.

"Sanguis in aere est." Alicorn mutters.

Alicorn holds her hand out and her robotic eagle lands on her arm. Alicorn puts a finger on her eagle's head and pets it, it closes it eyes and makes a few happy noises.

"Do they know nothing of the dangers Siren technology can bring?" Alicorn asks her eagle. "Have they not learned of the consequences they were from creating me? Do they not fear death? For I will swiftly bring it to them."

Several hours later.

Alicorn is still standing at the docks. The mess of the battle has mostly been cleaned up. Her Sub floats in the distance, smoke rising from Alicorn's left rail gun along with a few other places smoking. Several large cracks run along her ship.

Alicorn then watches as Majuuus and Soldiers repair the damaged ships. Her eagle flies in the sky above her.

"Alicorn!" A cheerfuly voice yells out.

Alicorn turns around to see Unicorn running towards her, with Prince of Wales and illustrious following.

Unicorn reaches Alicorn and pulls her sister into a hug. "Thank you for saving me!"

Alicorn just looks down at her, before patting her head a couple times. "It's my duty too."

"Alicorn." illustrious calls out, said said sub looks at her. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you my Imōto."

Unicorn pulls away from Alicorn as Alicorn walks over to illustrious.

"It's also a pleasure to finally meet you." Alicorn does a small bow.

"I'm indeed very sorry for not being able to see you over the past year, it's been very busy in the Royal Navy." illustrious informs.

Alicorn then turns to Wales. "It's is very nice to see you again, Miss Wales." She does another bow.

"Alicorn there's no need to be formal." Wales states. "We are friends, aren't we not."

Alicorn's Siren yellow eyes stare at Wales for a few seconds. "...We can put it that way."
